Hi Carol,
In my experience, and at this stage, it is just about as
easy to start again from scratch.
By the time you have messed about in the Registry and all
sorts, and driven yourself mad, you will have reformatted
anyway.
Windows 98SE support - gone, aside from pure security
maintenance patches. However, I suspect it will be a while
before it dies completely - just like DOS.
George.

Subject: [access-uk] SYSTEM RESTORED TO FACTORY SETTINGS -
AND NOW
Hi All,
I'm working on a machine which I've just reformatted and
used original disks to put on all software for the computer
when it left the factory.
In order to help the person who is purchasing this, I
continued the installation of 98SE and entered an owner's
name in the required field.
(This had to be done to proceed with the remainder of the
fresh
install.)
Now it's possible that the original buyer won't have the
machine after all and I'll need either to repeat the above
process or find a shortcut way of changing the owner
details. Is it just a case of tweaking the Registry and
changing one name for another, or are there deep settings
which need to be "got at" and are best done with another new
install?
If you can help with this, I'd be most grateful.
Oh, in addition, when does support end for Windows SE from
Microsoft and which of the leading providers of virus
scanning software (in addition to AVG) have already stopped
supporting .SE?
