problem with win-98

All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

Oh, I monitor that with my Bios. CPU temperature never rises above 35?C and mobo temperature never above 30?C

It's actually used by the operating system for turning the computer off, putting it to sleep, hibernation, standby, Plug and Play and temperature management with on-the-fly adjustments.

Hmm... well... yeah, Win98SE sucks arse when it comes to Plug'n Play. Couldn't get dad's USB HD working, even after installing drivers, while on XP and on Debian, it's just plugging in and it's working (well, got to mount it in Debian). Aside from PnP horror, it's rather fine, though.

I remember once, when I still used 98SE, I got a random BSOD when burning a CD. Never happened before or since. odd

Also, I once had an old hard disk which I saved my files to (a second drive). The few months I had that old second drive, I installed win98 meany times (about once a week in fact) because the sodding thing kepped popping back into MS-DOS compatibility mode ide drivers. To repair that I had to reinstall. Never found out why.
