It is rare that i run into one of these crapsites: check out Datak and EmcoHighVoltage. The last one is so bad that only powerstrip shutdown is possible. What the hell (about the site) is happening to do this crap?

What browser and version are you using? That may be the problem. Either an older version or browser that doesn't support the newer web language. I use Netscape 7,and some pages don't format right,left-side is ofscreen and no scroll-left possible.I'm switching to Firefox,but some sites don't support that either,I've read.Seems everyone is "standardizing" on IE,whatever version is latest.

Download the "Open in IE tab" addon for Firefox. Your standing permissions etc. apply.

Firefox has its current form of foibles. Merriam-Webster Dictionary will always crash Firefox... full crash, power-off is the only exit strategy :-(

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
After years of swearing I would never give up IE -- I finally loaded firefox for one reason only -- too many IE hostile sites -- sites that load malware and adware to your system without your permission, and for no other reason than that IE has too many bloody security holes.. and too many of these breeze right by any protective software you might have installed (I run a virus scanner and 2 adware/malware blocker/scanner apps -- and I was STILL getting slammed !!)
got to the point that the powerstrip wasnt enough -- had to wipe and reload to get the crap off
Ya wanna know what sucks ?? I hit a site that was firefox unfriendly (html incompatible) so I loaded IE just that once -- and BOOM -- my file search function doesnt work any more !! I'll have to reload again to fix that one apparently because while one of my scanners found what got loaded (it couldnt stop it as it installed), it apparently didnt clean up EVERYTHING that got dumped on me
Go firefox asap -- and forget IE exists -- if a site isnt compatible with both browsers, its not worth accessing -- this from a former hardcore IE junkie

I'm in the process of trying to install a new 100G HD to replace the old
10G HD in my 900Mhz Athlon(K7VMA MB),and W98 doesn't want to load right on the new HD.(I partitioned it to 4 25G drives with Partition Magic) It also doesn't want to recognize the 56K PCI Lucent Win modem(dialup..) that W98 on my old HD recognizes;if I move the modem to the next slot over,then it recognizes it,but then the old HD doesn't in that new slot when I switch back;wierd... I plan on installing the old 10G HD as a slave HD,and use the 100G as the master drive,so I can access all the files on the old HD.I'm making progress,but s_l_o_w_l_y. I managed to download and install Firefox 1.0 on the new HD(from NoNags), F-F2.somethingBeta (straight from Mozilla)wouldn't load at all.
I HATE IE,all versions, and wouldn't use it at all.

W98 only supports 2048mb partitions. At least on the boot partition.
Cheers
I'm sorry, but that is just not true. W98 will easily support partitions >120GB.
I just looked at the latter with Opera v 9.02 It works perfectly.

Having done such transfers and screwed things up, I've come to the conclusion the best way to take the data on one drive and copy it to another is to use Partition Commander. Run it from the CDROM. You don't even have to install the software. What I suggest is doing the copy then remove the old drive completely (or turn it off via bios). You may have to make the new drive "active" to get the system to boot.
I ran into issues where the NTFS format had changed. It turns out NTFS has a few variations, and that confused the crap out of Partition Magic. This is probably not your situation, but still, Partition Commander was a better functioning program.
To be honest, I would only go through such agony for a notebook computer.
For a Win98 machine, I just put the new drive in as a slave. FDISK and FORMAT /S it. Of course Windos is stupid and won't let you make the partition active since it's the slave drive. Boot up into DOS mode only and do this command to copy all the date from the old to the new drive: "XCOPY C:\\ D:\\ /K/H/E/R/C" After it's all done, make the new drive master and boot the Win98 CD. Run FDISK on the new drive and make the partition active. Easy as pie. :-)
For XP, I use Ghost or one of the utility disks that usually come with a new drive. The WD utility has worked well for me.
Just tried Emco in Opera 9.10 (Linux); works just fine.

NOT trying to start an argument about one browser versus another, but Opera 9.02 (set to nag me about whether I want each and every cookie, etc, and I have the bolts tightened down pretty tight) didn't seem to have a problem with either site. But it did only load 37 of the 39 pictures from the second site.
Just when I was feeling pretty happy about this, and tried to quietly let him know this via email, Opera looks like it latched up on his challenge-response barrier to accepting email. Filling out his form (and being required to accept cookies from him to even get to see his mangled text picture that I had to enter in the text box) locked up on me when I clicked Send. Where is the nuke-server-back-to- the-stone-age button on browsers these days?
Oh well.
Not on my machine.

On Safari v2.0.4. running on Mac OS X v. 10.48, http://www.emcohighvoltage appears to never finish loading. Sometimes.
I just got through. I've sent them an email describing the problem.

yes,my older 10G HD has 3 partitions(C,D,E),and W98 works fine on it. Another person told me W98 doesn't like over 30G drives.

Last time I had problems (re)installing a Microshift product I gave up and installed Slackware Linux and then (re)installed the Microshift product.
Some people might have problems with such heathen behaviour but I am fairly certain that a 'clean' (re)install of a Microshift product is not possible.

That is exactly why i call the sites "browser hostile"; they work
*only* with the ImpossibleExasperator. What i use is NS7.2 and have yet to upgrade to NS8.? as i understand that support for NGs (and e-mail) was dropped.

Does Firefox support NG accounts, and (hopefully) e-mail accounts?
