*scratches head* As it turns out, i am the one who put that computer together(as in plugging things in and the like...i wish i could build one!)and installed windows...i'll haf to do it l8a because my auntie is on the CPU right now(im using the pos HP in my room). Its sad that the patch worked on this cpu, so it must b somthing i forgot to put in blah.

Id just like to add that I hate my computer 2 ;)

I hate my computer too, It's a Compaq Presario, I lovingly term it, the Comcrap Prettysorry O. It runs slower than it's clocked at, the ram is faulty. it's got more programming bugs in the OS than AOL has, because ComPaQ just HAD to have a modified OS and BIOS. Well, it's gonna realize it's a POS and commit suicide from the 3rd story of my dorm building as soon as I buy it's replacement [img]smile.gif[/img]

It's been a while since I've run 98, but it sounds like a hardware issue (your sound doesn't work) It would be helpful to know your exact configuration. The error message you received when trying to unpack the zip is consistant with a bad archive. Download again and use Winace to unzip it. Try using System File Checker under MSCONFIG. That'll tell you if you have any missing or corrupt system files. If none of that works, well......NUKE AND PAVE! Good luck

Its a conspirasy i tells ya...!*yanks her hair and stares at the blue hank of hair in her hand* that cant b good...

Hey Animal...WTF did you just say? Im totally lost

I don't mean top insult you, but you said you put it together. Some hardware just doesn't play nice with others, especially sound cards as they are notorious resource hogs. The error message you rec'vd when trying to unpack gatekeeper is consistant with a bad archive, ie: a bad download. Erase all traces of the original download and try it again from a different source.If your using dial up don't do anything while it's downloading; leave it be and try again

I forgot to mention under the run command type msconfig. look for system file checker under that menu and run it. It'll check all the dll's and correct any errors you may have

pulling out some of his hair glorfindel looks over at Lady Blue Ur right.. this cant b good.... mayb it has somethin to do with having annoying computers [img]redface.gif[/img]

I'm glad I don't have enough hair to get a good hold of(thanks to the military), because I'd be pulling the whole lot of them out ;)
