In case anyone is thinking of backing up their msn companion OS, it shows your username and password in plain text which anyone could read. This is NOT a problem if you never used the IA-1 to sign up for MSN.
If you don't plan on sharing the images, it might not be a problem, but I sure don't like having my username and password sitting around in plain site. If you plan on using MSN don't do this or you will have to go through the entire setup process again. The 2 codes below probably work after you hit move to next number on each number it tries to dial. Then select 'problem not listed above' and it will put you to a screen where it says to type the code the MSN/Compaq people tell you to type.
To erase your username and password, the MURMUR code will do this, but it will also erase the modem numbers and settings, and EVERY other setting. Kind of like the 3x password error on the audrey.
The other code I have come across is FIXIT, which will allow you access to the modem dial page, but not much else. When I first got mine, I in fact created an MSN account with the username and password that was identical to account that I had on another provider, but I was not able to get connected. So I guess it is looking for some specific MSN stuff when it calls.
And I tried the fixit code on MSN companion 2.0 - it does not seem to work.

) and not having the boot flag set on the CF partition. since i downloaded Ranish 2.40, and re-defined the partition info, i've been just fine. got all of MSN 1.0 backed up and now i'm just waiting for the MSN 2.0 update to go in around 2:00 a.m. my time tonight. after backing up (and sanitizing) the 2.0 partitions, i'll start attempting to apply the WIN98SE operating system. thanks again for all your help. i realize you started with this several months ago, it's just now that the rest of us are catching up to you... hope i can offer some helpful information, as i move forward.
