gtwister09 Posted October 15, 2009 Report Posted October 15, 2009 (edited) Joe, If you do not see the browse button then you have the Flash uploader enabled. If you go to the Posting Settings and uncheck the box "Enable flash uploader" - turn it off and this should make the browse button reappear that dickf mentioned. You did not mention the version of Firefox that you have either. I tested on a virtual Win98 machine with SP2 that has 256 MB memory, Firefox 3.5.3 and the flash uploader disabled and it worked. I guess that brings up lots of other questions about how much RAM, page file size and % used ...assuming the obvious that there is no malware or viruses on the machine (up to date antivrus and anti0malware software running and machine recently checked for any infiltrations).

JoeS Posted October 16, 2009 Author Report Posted October 16, 2009 wow, you guys are awesome, dickf, I see you, browse box and all....and hey, my pleasure if I can get a smile outta someone....actually I have another machine I store my treasures on that is not connected to the internet....this is my original baby, with kerio firewall, spybot, avg (which recently quit supporting 98se) and a few various cleaners and such....brought her back from the dead many times....lol....thx Kate....I have Firefox version 2.0.0.20....the last one supporting 98 I think....they're at 3. something now I believe. thx Johanna, I have come to dislike microsoft and their swiss cheese software so much that I refuse to use IE....I have uploaded pics onto the site with Firefox before and if I can, I'd like to find out what changed....I like the underdog and I'd like to see if I can keep the ol' buggy running till I can afford another....thx Kate, I tried the Lo-Fi and it says that " You cannot manage attachments using the Lo Fi theme" thx gtwister09, my handy dandy Everest Home Edition tells me I have an Intel Pentium 3 with 450MHz and 512 MB SDRAM....not sure what you mean about page file size but the %CPU that Firefox is using right now is around 15%, if that's what you mean....in the last few days I've run scans in safe mode with spybot and Dr. Web Cureit and can't find anything....one thing though, when I tried to update Java thru the console I kept getting this error message.... JRE-6U15-WINDOWS-I586-IFTW_7319BB8D caused a stack fault in module JRE-6U15-WINDOWS-I586-IFTW_7319BB8D.EXE at 0167:0040379e.

gtwister09 Posted October 16, 2009 Report Posted October 16, 2009 Joe, Most likely it is a corrupt java install as denoted by the module message and stack trace dump or it could be a bad memory module. I would consider first uninstalling java and making sure it is clean in the registry as well. Then performing a reinstall. If that doesn't correct your problem then try a memory utility that will exercise your memory. Regards, Ben Quote

JoeS Posted October 16, 2009 Author Report Posted October 16, 2009 gtwister09, thankyou.....I'll uninstall Java tomorrow and hope I can get it out of the registry....I didn't get much that I could understand in a search for stack faults...do you have a memory utility link you would recomend? noahdfear, thanks for the link....the site seemed to know I had win98....picked my update....I bet they could know my s.s. number easier....I'll look for that update.... thanks, joe Quote www.jcsLeather.com
JoeS Posted October 16, 2009 Author Report Posted October 16, 2009 WooHoo....I think I'm back in business....it turned out to be the "Enable flash uploader" checkbox....I wasn't looking forward to reinstalling Java and maybe having to dig bits out of the registry like I thought I would and it turned out to be something simple....like my Grandma used to say, if it was a snake it woulda bit me.....a round of cool adult beverages for the house barkeep!.... thankyou everyone.... joe Quote www.jcsLeather.com
