0 ToneKnee Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Can I ask what hardware you setting this up on? If it's old hardware then it's most likely down to the hardware failing. If it's newer hardware then it could be driver issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Nick H. Supervisor Posted June 7, 2015 Supervisor Share Posted June 7, 2015 Just from looking at the Winzip website: System Requirements: Microsoft Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP Windows 98 isn't listed as being supported. I'd be honestly surprised if any software offered to support Windows 98. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Lord Nite Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Recently after I installed win98There's your problem. No software supports Windows 98 anymore. Why would you even want a computer running that version? If it's for old games, use DOSBox instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
