slow moving 98

Cattcreek · 10-15-2004, 04:57 AM

My windows 98 system boots slow. I only have a C drive. Will my system work faster if I go thru the reformatting process, put in a partition, and keep my saved information on a drive different than the one the operating system is on??

It should be faster if you did the format. How long was the last format? Have you tried disabling some programs from startup to see if it improved the speed?

W98 boots slowly after few resets, and adware is a complete killer for w98 CPU-speed

Ad-aware did bog my machine down. The processor just isn't good enough

what sort of processor are we talking about?

I believe it is only a 475
