Does everyone here know what one is? Remember a couple of weeks back when you and Francis were talking about Win 3.11? Wasn't it Alms that i got working on 3.11? I still like the 3.11 computer, and some of the programs i use here on Win 98 were written for 3.11. The only limitation I have found is the long file names. > > found what is my next ISO burn > this . . . > > http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ > > (Contains ways of checking for viruses from DOS > incidentally - think I saw that) Thanks for pointing this out... I am still struggling to get that one computer repaired, and this one has something going on in DOS before the firewall loads. I was given a bootable CD to use to run a McAfee checker in DOS, but this computer is so old you cannot set the bios to boot from CD!! Is there any way around that, i wonder? Something is going on - the aol browser window for any site i try comes up blank with an * in the top left corner - only it looks more like a little bug than an asterisk. FireFox works fine, IE works fine, but not aol suddenly. > > When you download a ISO a small piece of text is > usually included in the > same directory this is the ISO checksum - if you > check your download image > against it you will be certain it has copied OK > and you can then burn it This is a good idea. > > Most people use NERO for burning > the problem with this is it is often given away with > CD burners > and is specific to that one. Yes. Nero is what came with the CD burner here.

Hopefully in a couple of weeks here people won't vote for the dubya either. (This has not been a paid political endorsement.
