Ooops!

Not sure it would work on your system.

On Win98/95, using standard IDE drives it si simple to copy over without any other software.

What operating system?

Yes, although my original reaction was one of suspicion, some digging around suggests it is a genuine offer.

I think there is enough comment on the Internet for the company (which is legitimate) to have taken some action by now, against someone else using their name.

The intrigue then, is why they ...

For the sake of completion:-

The machine is not easily accessible. Neither does it have a mouse or keyboard (other than four keys ...

Yes it does come up with a challenge/reminder about mouse support.

However there is a tick box 'Do not show this .........'

Once ticked, it runs up cleanly!

Many thanks.

I thought I read that you still get a 'no mouse' warning.

Thanks - I shall try it.

In Win98 I would like to inhibit the Scandisc/dialogues that happen when you switch on a machine and it detects an 'improper shutdown'.

Appreciate that if you do a sequence of improper shutdowns (NOT recommeded!), even Win98 will ...

I am trying to stop the message/challenge that comes up when the machine first runs up and the mouse is missing.

I notice that the last time this was formally requested was in December and there was no response, even though it has been mentioned on various other boards.
