    Have windows98SE, Pentium(r), 32 mb RAM, runs @133megahirz, Gateway cpu, gift 5 years ago. No trouble till last month. Kept opening windows, lost browser. Reformatted cpu, reinstalled windowse, had just windows but I bought another cpu which I cannot get going x 1 year but that is another story! After reinstalling os, but now se2nd , was ok somewhat but not good,
    Bought McCaffey, would wrk but not able to get online, uninstalled it, started to have more problems, lots of cookies. Went to netscape, all advice of significant other who has had no problems (yet)! Spybot I think. Did not install right.

    said read help file and it showed stuff at beginning but I never saw Wizard they spoke of and never asked me about icons etc., could not print then. Also unable to backup system even tho they asked me to and I said yes.

    It found 5 invaders in red. Deleted them but one kept coming back. They suggesy your java something so I went to your website and downloaded Spyblaster. Tried to run - menu popped up and says "Error: Cannot find import; DLL may be missing, corrupt or wrong version File 'MSVBM60.DLL' ,error 1157"

    Your first messages said need to know system. Went to your website recommendation, downloaded mycpu113, opened in word, buit mostly symbols. What program do I open it with so I can read it, deleted that one. Redownloaded but just saved till I know what to do.

    Oh I have (had) 1003 MB on hard drive before i installed stuff. Now about 500-800 mb's. Have Brother mfc7400c printer, Gateway cpu.

    Read some messages, cant read all 1100+!! None were pertinent to me.
    Some looked like duplicates, also. Do any of these messages ever come off!

    Thank you Sincerely Someone please help this novice. PS should I ger more Ram. Can I? it is so old, no?

    Please explain yourself more clearly:

    1) What does this mean: "Kept opening windows, lost browser."
    Do you mean you are opening lots of Windows and this cause your browser to close?

    2) You do not format a CPU. You format the harddisk.
    3) What do you mean by: "had just windows but I bought another cpu"
    Do you mean you had one PC and you bought a second one?
    4) What do you mean by: "After reinstalling os, but now se2nd"
    What is se2nd? Did you mean you just reinstalled Win98 SE which is what you had to start with?

    5) Describe what was not good: "was ok somewhat but not good"
    6) It's McAfee. But what did you buy? Was it their VirusScanner or some other package?
    7) What 5 problems did SpyBot keep finding? Do you mean DSO Exploit?
    8) For your problem with SpywareBlaster (not SpyBlaster) you most likely need the Visual Basic Runtime Libraries.
    Download and run this: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download523.html

    9) You do not open ZIP files with Word. The mycpu113.zip file you downloaded must be unzipped using WinZip. Get WinZip here: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download525.html But you do not need it anyway. You already gave us your OS and other info.

    10) I have know idea what you are talking about in these next four sentences:
    "Read some messages, cant read all 1100+!! None were pertinent to me.
    Some looked like duplicates, also. Do any of these messages ever come off! "

    Are you answering something related to a Private Message between you and Abby?


    At any rate, run thru the steps in the link Abby gave you ( http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35407).
    And yes it would be beneficial for you to have more RAM. You can probably find it somewhere. If not a local computer store, maybe at a computer show or via online methods. But note a 133 MHZ PC is an antique.
