allvtec21m 0 Posted February 19, 2000 i have win98 and 2000 installed onto c: i have 2 questions question 1: do i scandisk and defrag with win98 or win2000? question 2: after i installed windows 2000 i went back to windows 98 and i installed adaptec easy cd creator deluxe 4 for my hp 9100 cd rw, installations in the past have giving me a system file error please restore and the file to restore would be winaspi.dll, now to fix this i would just go to system info under start/programs/accessories/system tools/system information but now that i have 2000 installed i get a error message saying "this application or dll can not be loaded on windows 95 or on windows 3.1 it takes advantage of unicode features only available on windows nt" then i get one more error saying the mfc4u.dll file cannot start. ceck the file to determine the problem how do i fix this cause everytime i boot up in windows 98 i get systle file error windows/system/winaspi.dll and like i said the way i use to fix this was just use system file checker from the system information and restore it from the 98 cd thank you i hope someone can help Share this post Link to post
nova 0 Posted February 19, 2000 1) Whatever you like better! (IMO Win98 does a better defrag job on FAT partitions than the very simple defragmenter of Win2k.) 2) What exactly did you do? I didn't get it. Install Win98, then upgrade to Win2000, then downgrade from (uninstall) Win2000 to Win98?? If yes, then: WHAT A MESS.... If no, what exactly did yo do? Some generic suggestions: Try reinstalling Adaptec's ASPI driver, and also ECDC 4.0 (uninstall this one before if possible). Good luck! nova. PS: Please never ever install Win98 and Win2000 into the same partition! That way, they have to share the "\Program Files" dir, and believe me, that is devilish!!!
