Not sure where to post this, computer prob.
« on: August 20, 2005, 04:16:03 PM »
This is on my old Win98se system that's being passed on down the line. I've been removing stuff and geting rid of crud and all of a sudden I notice a rather large change one time I power it up to start sorting stuff.
When I right click my mouse to get the menu to open a 'NEW' menu it's not there. The new is gone, not greyed out but gone altogether. I happened to save a 'new text' and 'new bmp' file so I can cut-n-paste to them but as organizing in folders I'm out of luck.
Any suggestions or help?

That job won't be finished until you get rid of W98 itself.
