i dont see it either

Goku7 · « **Reply #26 on:** 2001-11-29 04:07:00 »

Well, I'm running Win98SE, and it's there.

Maybe they either moved or got rid of it in later versions?

Search all the tabs carefully, if you haven't done so already.

Darkness · « **Reply #27 on:** 2001-11-29 22:43:00 »

wait wait wait. so youre saying that they have it in the latest version of windows 98, but not in the latest versions of windows 98.

Goku7 · « **Reply #28 on:** 2001-11-30 00:05:00 »

Sorry.

I meant maybe it's not there in win2k, ME, or XP. My mistake.

(looks at the url Aaron posted in the earlier message)

Vanguard? As in Vanguard College? One of their choirs just came to our school (Riverside Chrisitian) for a chapel performance yesterday. What a coincidence.

Anyway, do you know anyone by the name of Dirk Dallas, by any chance? I heard he went there after graduating last year. I knew him personally.

Well, it's definiely there under my version of Win98...

Which version of Win98 are you running? (Look in System Properties).

Aaron · « **Reply #30 on:** 2001-11-30 01:05:00 »

Goku: Nope, not Vanguard college... I go to Vanguard High School (in Texas). Vanguard college is vanguard.edu.

Fice: I'm running Windows 98, Second Edition, 4.10.2222 A Is yours newer?

Strangest thing just happened... it came up with "Explorer has caused an illegal operation and must be shut down" but all Explorer windows and IE windows work fine... odd? I moved the box to the corner and am ignoring it (I hate quitting Explorer like that, it screws up my system tray).

Darkness · « **Reply #31 on:** 2001-11-30 01:42:00 »

hehe im running the first edition

ficedula · « **Reply #32 on:** 2001-11-30 11:42:00 »

Aaron: Actually, I think mine's older ... 4.10.1998, probably one of the initial releases.

Sephiroth 3D · « **Reply #33 on:** 2001-12-01 21:40:00 »

Hmmm... I can't seem to run it on my copy of Win2k... I get a "Cannot find the file 'MSconfig'. (Or one of it's components.) Please check your path and filename again."

Oh well...

Yeah, msconfig was not included in Windows 2000, I don't think. Windows XP has it though.

M0T · « **Reply #35 on:** 2001-12-02 17:25:00 »

I had the cannot find MSconfig when I tried it in my copy of WINXP pro, but my copy of home has it in. weird

Darkness · « **Reply #36 on:** 2001-12-02 21:13:00 »

look around in you windows/ or windows/system/ directory (or the equivalent in XP). i bet youll find something.

Aaron · « **Reply #37 on:** 2001-12-03 02:46:00 »

Well, the Windows XP Pro I have (build 2600) has it.

i cant tell if that was an "i found it" or "i like useless spam"

Aaron · « **Reply #41 on:** 2001-12-03 22:26:00 »

Oh yeah, Fice, about a while back up...

Anyway you could send me your msconfig.exe? I wonder if I would get the fast shutdown option then? Its like 60k and its in c:windowssystem

Darkness · « **Reply #42 on:** 2001-12-03 22:31:00 »

i think it requires some dlls, too.

ficedula · « **Reply #43 on:** 2001-12-03 23:37:00 »

Well, whatever...

I'm just acting crazy like the thread starter is. I hadn't read the other pages before I posted it, so I hadn't known that the topic got derailed into technical issues. My apologies.

Darkness · « **Reply #45 on:** 2001-12-04 01:36:00 »

... i dont get it

Dark: He opened up, didn't read anything, and simply posted something to throw some chaos at us.

It's actually quite simple...

but it was technical by the 3rd post...... that would suggest that he only read the title...

Aaron · « **Reply #48 on:** 2001-12-06 02:32:00 »

Oh well. Back on topic:

Fice, thanks, your msconfig.exe gives me the option to disable Fast Shutdown. It works too. Cool, cool.

I might try to get a WinME msconfig.exe though b/c it lets you tell Wndows what VXD's and Enviornment stuff to load as well as everything else.

Darkness · « **Reply #49 on:** 2001-12-06 03:31:00 »

hey fice, would ya mind sending me that?
