I'd been using Tclock ver 2.30 for a few years, under win98FE. It let me
set it to be one of the startup programs.

Since I wanted to use a USB wireless network adapter, I changed to Windows
98 SE.

Now, when I run tclock.exe, 1) tclock does not change the taskbar as it
used to; the part where the clock is stays as if tclock hadn't run. Also,
2) the computer no longer lets me run programs or do anything.

So I have to shut down.

Ctrl-Alt-Delete shows tclock running, as well as explorer and systray;
also rnapp, and 2 programs related to the WLAN: infomyca and Wusb54g2

Thinking that meybe my Tclock was defective, I looked, can't find ver 2.30
in English on the Internet.

I found a tclock ver 2.29, and used it instead.
Same problem.

Can someone please advise how to cure this?

Thanks much.

I use Tclockex on WinXP.. This is not the same as Tclock but may work for
you with win98FE. Of course I don't know if it has all the features of
Tclock, but it might be worth a look...

I've used that one (Dale Nurden's "TClockEx") under Win98SE for years -
- excellent clock. (Like you, I don't know how it compares with Tclock,
but it does everything I want.)

FWIW, the author's homepage for it product is at:

the tclock source was released, two_tone got hold of it and made it
compatible with winxp. http://shii.org/tclock is one place to get hold
of it. i have used it with win2k for some time now with good result.

I used TClockEx for years with Win98 FE, however after upgrading to WinME
TClockEx did not run very well at all. I gave up on it.
