windows 98se couple problems

[txman1946]

Hello everyone,
My first stop here. a couple problems I am dealing with and being a novice user I am in deep trouble lol..
First started with my IBM pc camera. Tried to turn on the cam and got these messages:
A: The supplied user buffer is not valid
B: Went to the folder in progam files clicked on vidcap32.exe.
Error message read capture driver is not installed properly.
Under Multimedia properties clicking on devices.
       Video Capture Devices
         gfxnull
         Microsoft WDM image capture
I have uninstalled and reinstalled still the same results
I was looking into systems info and clicked on problem devices and this was there:
  Plug and Play Software Device Enumerator
   SYSTEM
  This Device Has a Problem: Code=2 (0x2)
I have not had any problems with the cam ever had it for two years.
Today I run my AVG and to my suprise got these results :
         Partition Table (MBR)...........results      changed
         Boot Sector of disk C...........results   reading error
         C:\msdos.sys......changed
         C:\windows\system\user32.dll...results changed
         C:\windows\system\shell32.dll...   "       changed
Now i have run ad-ware, spy bot and nothing has come up  and I run high jack this and nothing changed out of the norm. So I tired to run trend house calls but not able to get it to work. Tried panda virus scan and could not get that to run... I have used them both numerous times..As a result of all this so far computer working ok as far as surfing the web my yahoo messenger, i can view cams, have voice etc..no major program problems.
I am using ......Windows 98se 4.10.2222
Internet explore version 6 sp1
navida vanta video card ,   lucent win modem.
Well that is about all i can think of ..hope this is enough info.....I sure would love some input what i can do with this situation..again i am very new to the computer so if anyone needs any more info ask and i will get what you need.. thank you so much hope you can help..

Did you try plugging it into another port? Have you remove the driver use a registry cleaner and scan to repair the computer?

[txman1946]

yes I removed all the files and driver from the camera.
and as far as a registry cleaner could you recomend one that is fairly easy to use..and I have run scan disk and the results was no errors on this system..
Maybe a registry cleaner would help maybe .... thanks

I used this registry cleaner and wow there sure are lots of stuff showing ....A little scary on what to delete .
I will just keep reviewing and see what these files belong too......thanks for your help still not working but can live with it everyting seems to be working ok for now.....

EasyCleaner is a good program, using it to clean the Registry hasn't failed me yet.

I did hear of someone here having a problem when they removed all the duplicate files with easycleaner.
I don't think they read the screen.

On these two issues when I run AVG :
  A:...Partition Table (MBR).........results..Changed
  B:...Boot Sector of disc C.........results..Reading error
Is there a way to resolve this without total reformating.
Is there some way to correct this in the system.ini file or boot log.  I have no idea what I am talking about but anyways just thought I would ask..
One other thing on this easy cleaner reg files..there is like 60 entries and how would I know what is safe to delete?...
I do thank you all for your input and help..I will keep on trucking to resovle this problem...

load the ibm disk that contains the drivers for the web cam ,first then plug it in.....

[Fed]

A:...Partition Table (MBR).........results..Changed
This can be updated or accepted from within the AVG program, I can't remember where, look around.

B:...Boot Sector of disc C.........results..Reading error
This is an AVG glitch & will be fixed by AVG in the next release.

All is well for now anyways lol..I found a site downloads a update sys file utility program..then found a new drivers on drivers.com seems to work ok..I went into control panel clicked on media icon and went into devices tab scrolled down to video devices and under there was gfxnull and miscosoft WDM image capture and with gfxnull clicked do not use this image device and clicked on do not map with this device. Now all seems well.. the AVG problem corrected itself ..but looks like things working as far as the cam thingy...
thanks so much for your help was very appreciated...later
