Has anyone encountered issues w/Win98 & e-Trust/Realtime monitor not getting along?

We seem to be having multiple issues w/lockups & failed boots.

Any ideas?

I would first edit the system.ini file. Look for the line that says MinSP=4, change that to 12. Sometimes the program takes a while to load, displaying the splash screen that is always on top. I would right click on the Realtime monitor icon on the task bar and disable the splash screen. That way you don't have to wait a few minutes to use your computer.

Oddly enough, it appears to be limited to PC's w/a nic card of any type or running broadband connections. One of reports is that e-trust is grabbing an unidentified port that Win98 requires & is not releasing it.

Good tip for the splash screen, but it's already been disabled.
