I receive the following message when trying to access some information (latest stock quotes) from the Australian Financial Review web sites: ‘An error has occurred in the script on this page: Line 423, Char 2, Error Permission Denied, Code 0″. I am then asked if I wish to continue running scripts on the page. I have also received script error messages on some other web sites. What could be causing this? I am using Windows 98 and MS Internet Explorer V4.0. (more…)

I run a Pentium II-300c with Windows 98. Recently I had a self-inflicted problem and returned the computer to base for adjustment.When the computer came back I could not call up the Card Games (Freecell).When I click on the icon the following message appears. ‘Cannot find CARD.DLL. Windows needs this file to run C:WindowsFreecell.EXE’. I have tried all sorts of things without success I hope you can help. (more…)

Sometimes, when I spend about 2 hours or more in a full-screen DOS session, upon exiting back into Windows 98 the screen goes blank and the computer locks up. The Task Manager (Ctrl-Alt-Del) says that FindFast and MMsys are not responding, but when I try to end one of them the computer locks up completely. What’s happening and what can I do to stop it?

My problem is that my internet connection just starts up and connects automatically. My computer runs all the time and I have just come on to it only to discover that the internet connection has been ‘live’ for 4 hours. Any ideas. (more…)

I am operating Windows 98 SE on a Pentium 100 with a 8.4gb hard drive. When I open the ‘Control Panel’ I get the message ‘Couldn’t load CFM.DLL, check BinDir in XCM.INI’. If I click OK the Control Panel opens correctly. I have tried to find CMF.DLL unsuccessfully, both on my hard drive and Windows 98 CD. Its more a nuisance than anything else but I would like to get it fixed. Can you help please? (more…)
