I feel like an idiot. I was going to uninstall windows ME and put windows 95 on to see if I could get an ISP other than Netzero working (Netzero does not like chat and freezes up my computer if it has to shut itself down when it kicks me off chat).

couldn't even figure out how to uninstall ME. I thought I would just go to Add/Remove programs and there would be Windows ME on the list, and voila. Wasn't there! so I go to my windows ME help files and it tells me to go to add/remove programs and select uninstall windows ME from the list. Arrrggggghhhh. Nothing is ever easy. guess I'll just hobble along with this for a while.

Windows 95 is a bad choice. You have some year 2000 issues you would have to contend with and a lot of patching that isn't automatic over the internet.

The easiest way is to find a friend with Win 98 and have him make a boot disk for you. The WinME boot disk will go right into WIndows and you don't want that. You want to boot to DOS with the No CDROM option. Run FDISK off the floppy and delete all partitions then create a new primary partition and exit Fdisk and reboot.

Now, startup with the CDROM option and it will give you an A:\ prompt. Format C: and then place your WinME CD in the CDROM and install. Don't forget to update afterwards.

Now, don't say I didn't do anything nice. huh huh

I seriously wouldn't mess with Win 95 especially if you have business applications on your computer. I suppose you could use a Win95 boot disk but a Win 98 is preferred. You'll see why if you try otherwise.

Spamgirl may have a more intelligent way of fixing it though. You might wait for her post.

He's right - Windows95 isn't as good as Win98, but if you're in a jam (which you are) I think you don't have any options...

But if you DO have a friend with Win98, do what Guru said... gosh, don't tell me I'm agreeing with him!

Otherwise, just do what he said with the Win95 cdrom/boot disk.

Spam and Guru, thanks. I think that is just what Tukuul told me to do. Of course, I didn't understand him either.

Only got one friend here, and she is less computer literate than me. BuT she does have windows 98. she wouldn't know what a boot disk is though, nor would I know how to make one.

I do happen to have a floppy labelled Microsoft Windows 95 CD-ROM setup boot disk.

You lost me on running FDisk, deleting partitions, and creating a new partition. although I did take an eight hour dos class in 1988.

Also do not know how to do ME updates except when the system tells me it is updating itself. Obviously, I need some younger friends. Pardon me, I'm gonna step outside and net me a teenager. No, that wouldn't do it, would it? the ones I need are holed up in their rooms crashing the pentagon.

Now let me go rassle with that smirk or mirc thing.

As long as you're helping people. Maybe you can tell me why:

My default for opening files in Win 95 has gotten screwed up. It won't automatically go to an alphabetical list. How do I fix this? (This means each time I go to open anything, I then have to fix it to arrange things alphabetically which is a pain in the neck).

UH, you mean folders? Gosh, I haven't used 95 in so long... probably something like edit>folder options? Wow...

Oh is this the place for computer questions ? Maybe if I post one here, I wont have to do a search for it later ?

I bet our friends on the outside love reading this computer stuff.

JuJu, I hope you get your puter fixed we need you in the Game.

MissLibra
I noticed that you ended up searching for your computer help folder, and here is Juju's folder in the same place as started.
I remember that Juju was Digi's lurker. Do you think that Juju is going to be getting special considerations?
The thing I want to know is, has Juju shaved her legs yet? I bet she ruined those pantyhose she put on last night.

Misslibra, I know, the "fans" are probably bored to tears. I apologize to Moon right now. Just trying to keep Juju up and running. I seem to recall somebody in game I got dissed pretty bad when they disappeared with computer troubles.

Merlin, are you supposed to shave your legs before you put on pantyhose? and how do you know? better be careful what you're volunteering for. That's a heckuva lot of territory to cover there.

I only have 95 for a very short time, OI :)

I asked around, hopefully I'll have an answer for you soon...

Yes Juju,
keep those legs soft and smooth. I have paid for many a pair of pantyhose in my life and have began to determine what decreases the lifespan of a pair.
I did notice in your pic that you had legs from the floor to your neck, just requires more than one razor. And patience.

First, it's awesome that Merlin said "Fvck".

Second, the easiest way to fix your computer Ju is to run down to Best Buy and pickup an "internet special".

uh huh huh

Merlin didnt say that Guru,
that was what I heard Digi say when she read my post about Juju being her lurker and having a connection.

I have to confess Guru,
I have had difficulty in understanding your humor at times.
But I think I understood your humor just now. You are a daring person.

It varies, but I mean no disrespect to you and you'll slowly catch on.

As the Greeks say, "YoV're alright, Merlin." huh huh

and I even caVght that one,
Yep, it has been slow catching on,
if it has varied, then that gives me comfort.
I thought it was because I had given up speeding.

Those trying to make it into chat, go to the Questions and Requests thread. I posted detailed instructions to get started. I hope it helps.
