But you said it was a fresh install of Win98... so there could have been something in that install that could have been bad, since there was a few days before the problems appeared - it could have been a delay from the initial install, rather than a delay from the patch install. IMHO to be able to narrow it down so easily, the problem would need to present itself immediately, not a few days later. Mike. |

| 238210 | 2004-05-23 12:32:00 | I don't know how you can do a bad install. Generally the whole system was unstable right after the update cd install. Just random little quirks, but the main one being programs crashing when closed and forcing a reboot. | kiki (762) | ||
| 238211 | 2004-05-23 16:39:00 | I'm surprised about that because it is meant to have all updates to Oct 2003. They really need to make it a rolling CD so that all updates are current to the point in time. | mikebartnz (21) | ||

The same way you get a bad patch install - it's not necesarily the product (or OS or patch or whatever), but for some unknown reason something might go screwy while you're installing, and that one little thing might just effect everything else in the system. It's not unheard of for people to install something, it not work, so they uninstall and reinstall it and have it work fine. It happened to me with a game a couple of weeks ago. Mike. |
