re: disappearing ethernet card Friday, March 13, 2009 at 3:08 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by jack hall (291 messages posted) gewg_, I gave this thing enough time to act up. But it didn't. I checked the ini file and all 5 were there and started. So it's working. Go figure. I did fdisk /mbr, scanreg /fix, and scanreg /opt. before shutting it down. It's a backup to my xp now. Nice machine. can handle flash drives, has a burner, and a ton of space. I appreciate your time and input. hope it hangs in there.
