    Win 98 Question
    I don't have access to a Win 98 machine any more, so I was hoping someone could check this answer for me.

    The question was that the Volume control disappeared from the tray area. As I recall Win 98, there is a checkbox under the Sounds icon in Control Panel to show the control on the taskbar. Someone else said it was under Multimedia. While I don't dispute that it may be there as well, I was pretty sure it was under Sounds.

    Can someone with Win 98 check for me?

    Win98/98SE
    Hi,
    Yes, it's under Multimedia; not Sounds. Sounds gives the option of turning on or off sounds by the computer when certain actions take place, such as booting up, clicking on links, whatever. The Multimedia window contains, at the bottom, the "show volume control in the taskbar" option.
    Also, another small error.
    You said to check on the disk space used for a Win98/98SE system, to Right click on My Computer, then Left click on Properties. This brings up the Device Manager, etc. There isn't anywhere in this window to find used disc space.
    Correct answer is to open My Computer, then Right click on the C:Drive, then Left click on Properties. That window shows the amount of space used, and remaining on the hard drive.
    Glad I could help.

    Hi,
    ScottGem asked for those who use Win98/98SE to reply. I did.
    Your reply is pure harassment, and Abuse, for which you are so famous.
    I will pray that God Bless you, and possibly give you some much better insight with working with others.

    Fred time to get off your high horse
    Fred , Scott's question was about the location of a program in the CONTROL PANEL and NOT about free space on a hard drive, but you in you infinite wisdom decided to bring him down with a miss quoted response.

    So please Fred if you are going to go on the offensive, as you have here, be prepared for the fall out!!


    There is NO harressment in my response, just correcting your miss quote.

    So stop playing the Boy that cried Wolf, as we all know what happened to him, and live up to your religious beliefs.

    Fred,
    Someone else confirmed that I was incorrect about the location of the Show Icon checkbox in the PA thread. I already responded, apologizing for my mistake and thanking you for correcting it. That's the way I do things.

    Now lets see if you will apologize for your mistake. This is what I answered to the other question:

    "Right click on the drive in My Computer and select Properties."

    I said RIGHT click not LEFT click. I will await your apology.

    Hi Ben,
    Yes this response is rather interesting. Had the roles been reversed I would not have responded to the question. Obviously, if I believed Fred, I wouldn't have asked for confirmation. When I saw Fred's answer, I sought to confirm it via a 3rd party, I didn't automatically assume I was right.

    What's even more curious is Fred going beyond the question I asked and trying to hit for the other question. If I was going to do that I would go back to the original thread and make absolutely sure I had read the answer correctly. Obviously Fred didn't do his research and compounds his error by repeating it. Its clearly a case of Fred trying to harass me by trying to show I made a mistake. Another example of Fred being the pot calling the kettle black. Well see whether Fred swallows his pride and apologizes for this error.

    Also Fred had the nerve to make this comment about my question:

    Glad to see you are asking others about a errors....fredg

    I have always tried to confirm answers if they are challenged. If I am wrong I admit it. Fred has rarely done so.

    Scott,
    I am sorry, and I do apologize. I was wrong in mis-reading your instructions. Please forgive me.

    Apology Again

    Scott,
    I do apologize again, for anything I have said or done. I am sorry to have apparently caused you grief. I do admit when I am wrong, as I am not perfect, and really don't believe anyone is.
    Again, I am sorry, and I sincerely hope all this can be put behind us. My Religious Beliefs are very strong, and as you said, I am trying my best to live up to them. It is only by God's grace and blessings that I and my wife make it through each day, and we are truly blessed. My wife is "cancer free" after a bad year in 2004, and now has been 1 and 1/2 yrs. God has blessed us.
    I do not like reading Curlyben's vular, abusive, and cursing type of language, but that has nothing to do with you. I don't like reading stuff like that from anyone.
    Please forgive me for upsetting you, and with God's help, it won't happen again.

    Thanks Fred,
    Was that so hard? The hope is that maybe you learn from this and be more careful in reading. That may be your biggest weakness. If you would just read more carefully and make sure you understand the question before answering, you would make way fewer mistakes.

    As to forgiveness, well you have done way too much to me over the years for me to offer forgiveness. You have a lot to make up before I can do that.

    I just read your second note. Maybe there is hope for you yet. I'm willing to let up on you for a bit to see if you change your ways. I'm still skeptical, because your actions haven't jived with what you have said.

    Scott's forgiveness
    Scott,
    It's been awhile since I have read an acceptance such as yours, filled with more stuff from the past.
    I am sorry you can't move on. I have, and will not reply anymore to any of this.
    I appreciated you telling me your true feelings. I do pray that you can, in the future, forgive and move forward.

    Fred,
    I edited my response after reading your second apology. But even so you aren't reading me completely. I am perfectly ready to "move on". On several occasions I have given you the opportunity to show changes in your actions so that we could put the past behind us. On each of those occasions, you showed you hadn't changed continuing the same campaign of harassment. The length and viciousness of that campaign would make it hard for ANYONE to just turn a corner and go forward. But I am willing to give you yet another chance.

    I will let up on the echoing issue. I will try to be polite if I need to correct any mistakes you make. The ball is in your court.
