First and most important thing.
I have a smartmedia card reader, I figured out it works just after I enabled the USB. Anyways, now it doesn't work. There's no S/N on it, just a General Electric symbol. The little light is on so there is electricity going to it. Anyways, windows detects it, but won't find a driver for it (does anybody notice that windows update horribly fails most of the time with driver updates?) How should I get to it or does anybody have a "Generic USB card reader" driver? It's not the thing since it worked with XP the 3 months ago I used it.
Second problem, it's related with active desktop I think. Anyways, after I enabled active desktop, and then disabled it (might be before I disabled it), Internet explorer started to run funky. This also happened on my last 98SE run. Anyways, text boxes such as the one you'll type in for a reply and the one that google uses (the one that anything uses) will usually cause IE to stop responding for 30 seconds or so (it seems really long if you're just browsing the net, I haven't exactly measured). Also, it comes along with this handy load a page halfway or none at all and then say that there is no connection to the internet available, when all I have to do is press "try again" and it'll work, but still. I've reenabled active desktop but still get the same problems.
Thanks.
Ah, it freezes for about 25 seconds after leaving the box. (if I click anywhere else that would disable typing in that box).
