can't find dmcomcnfg
« on: January 14, 2006, 03:29:30 PM »
I have a hand built system. P3, 128ram.
I got it for free, and know very little about it.
win 98se
It has trouble loading programs from cd.
modem for internet not working yet.
seems to be ok, but not connecting.
I have tried to load dmcom98.exe from a floppy disk, no luck.
error message: operation cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. contact your system administrator.

I tried to open dmcomcnfg, and nothing happens.

Any ideas?
If this is too vague, I apologize. I am not sure what info to post to explain.

When I get an oldie like that the FIRST thing I do is install Everest to find out all of the components and print them out for later reference. The SECOND thing it to format the drive and install the operating system fresh. With an unknown history and obviously problems, you will save time and headaches just starting with a clean slate. You can monkey with this stuff for a LONG time, but you don't need to.

Get this program now. It is disappearing quickly! This is a German site, but the program is in English.

Put pc on the back burner for now.
When I find a win98 disk, I will proceed.
thanks

Perhaps:

Did you mean DCOM98?  Why were you trying to install it?

I think it was recommended for internet connection problems.
But, I really do not remember.

Perhaps:

Use the CD that your Internet service provider sent to you to set up the dial-up connection to the Internet.

    I disagree Doc, I think ISP provided software screws up peoples thinking on how it all works.

    Far better to get the dialup details (dial in #, username, password, email config details) then use Windows Internet Connection Wizard to create the dialup connection.

    Fed:

    I agree!  If i were with perhapsure, that's exactly what i'd do.  However, i think this task is a bit beyond him/her.  

    It's kind of like that TV commercial where the surgeon tells the patient during a phone conversation where to make an incision with a knife in his chest, and the person says to the surgeon, "Shouldn't you be doing this?"  Many folks are just too inexperienced to make changes to TCP/IP configuration, even with our help.

     ;D
