Trouble On The Forum When Entering My User Name

[Jody Carver]

I need help, When I try to post on a subject
I put my user name in and before I can get past the first two sylablles (sp?) I get some thing that looks like oriental or arabic reading. I have tried every concievable thing to eliminate this, to no avail. I have Windows 98 SE, can anyone offer some help please.

Thank you

Jody;
Can you try logging in from another computer? If so, let me know if the same thing occurs. If not, your computer/OS has become corrupted. The corruption may be the result of a software conflict, or from malware.

Since support for Windows 98 has ended your only option is to use you Windows 98 CD to reinstall the OS over itself and live without the final level of patches. You can still attempt to obtain Windows Updates, but there is no guarantee there will be any for you.

I have warned everybody several times that all support for Windows 98 ended in July, this year, both from Microsoft, and from many commercial security software companies. If at all possible I urge you all to upgrade to a licensed copy of Windows XP, preferably on a new computer.

Wiz,thank you, I have a friend who has windows 98 se and I can see if he receives the same problem. I also have a laptop with XP home and I'll give that a try as well.

Thanks again
