> I'm running a strange version of Windows 98 on a Packard Bell (Bleh) computer. By 'strange' I mean that it was the one that come with the computer, that included not only windows put countless other Packard Bell 'nessesities' which I neight want nor like. Well, I'll assume that it's Win98 becasue that's what the splash screen says, as well as windows help/about section.

"Bleh" is right. Packard Bell's "customizations" are not the best programmed...and I say that after having used a few of them. I'm just wondering whether they'd have anything to do with it...though I doubt it.

Heh. Y'know, I don't know why the simple use of a search engine didn't even occur to me...(slapping head, cowering in shame)
