Well, I appreciate your comments. I've had a dual boot machine for years with no trouble. I used Partition Magic Version 7. Actually, I have no complaints with Linksys tech support or their WIRELESS cards. I've been using them for years with no failures. Usually the problems are caused by me. I did have one router failure about two years ago, probably a power surge. This issue I believe may be just an install issue and Windows 98 issue. I'm not a computer wizard by any means. I do have A+ and Network+ training and many years as a computer user, going back to mainframes and dumb terminals. So my GUESS is I need to reinstall the card and software, in the proper ORDER, and maybe that will fix my Internet connection issue. I post this issue here because I've gotten help here from good guys. So I'm hoping an expert will get me running again. Thanks I THINK this may be the last post on this subject for me. I have finally fixed 99% of the issues on this PC. I ran Free_Registry_Cleaner and found over 3000 bad lines in the registry that I then removed. Rebooted and most everything was fine again. Except I had no Internet connection. Apparently my Linksys WMP54G died. So I dug out the WMP11 from my dead Dell Dimension 8100 and installed it in the Win98 PC. So that fixed the Internet connect issue. Now I need to install a sound card. I had a Soundblaster Live Value CT4780 card in the Win98 PC. I removed it during troubleshooting. Hope it works when I reinstall it.
Thanks to all who offered help and Hope on my issues. I appreciate it!
