I did all your step then I've got it work in W2k

Hello, I have been reading the windows 98 section for a long time and it has very good content on the system itself and the programs. I have discovered many things there. From here I thank those who have participated and helped people like me. From one corner of the planet I still use this system from time to time and it is wonderful. (sometimes hateful) About me I can tell you that I am a PC enthusiast in general. I have many machines and my favorite is the Pentium 3 at 1ghz with windows 98. The system is very good and the games too. Language is a limitation for me. I have to translate everything, so my level of participation will be zero or low. but i will read you regards

Thanks but I did know that. And I have solved the problem. One of HP's services was set on "manual" In MMC services. I think it was hpqcxs08. I changed it to "automatic" restarted and everything is hunky-dorey. It must be the service that starts hpqddsvc and the system must have had to forcibly start it to get hpqddsvc going and that's what the long delay was about. Don't know why the windows firewall was turned off and on unless that was what was needed to force the start. Thanks to all for your help.

For now at least My current pass-the-time project has been comparing/contrasting/benchmarking Vista "extended kernel" with 7. The writing has been on the wall for roughly two years that XP isn't going to last "forever".

For wiping free space, there's the classic trick of creating a large junk file, copying it over and over until your entire hard disk is filled up, then deleting all of those copies. This effectively overwrites any leftover data in free space with junk.

I'm new here. I signed up so that I can report a bug in the 64-bit Serpent browser v52.9.0 build 20220326. My apologies if this has already been reported. I don't see this particular bug in this thread since 2022-03-26, so I thought I would report it: Serpent v52.9.0 build 20220326 doesn't load most websites, it is stuck listing in the bottom status bar "Transferring from site.com..." ("site.com" is whatever page is currently trying to load) and the pages don't load, just a white space. If I load up a private browsing window, sites seem to load no problem. I had to revert back to the 20220226 build and everything works again. I tried upgrading again in case it was a fluke, but had the same problem. I'm on Windows Vista 64 bit. Hope this helps! I love this browser! Thanks for all your hard work RoyTam1! Helps me to still use some websites that no longer work on Firefox, Chrome, etc. on Vista.

Yes; IIRC, there was no iPhone 9 either! In Apple's case, they were in a hurry to get to 10, because the Roman numeral for 10 is X, and they wanted to advertise the "iPhone X" (as in Xtreme, I suppose) But I don't recall M$ ever advertising Windows 10 as "Windows X" or some such nonsense. Anyway, I hope you're right that the 360EE version is now the year (on the Gregorian calendar) - I just wish M$, Mozilla, and Google would follow suit! <off topic>My sincere apologies for trying to dissuade @InterLinked from buying an automobile from the era when gasoline in the US still had lead in it (not to mention wishing I could buy an unGoogled EV) - that one comment once again derailed the entire thread with a raft of political propaganda. You'd think I would've learned by now!

All is good with dad - aside from an 81yr old thinking he "needs" a brand new plugin hybrid at $40,000 PLUS when he can't drive to and from the pharmacist without KNOCKING OVER HIS OWN MAILBOX. My theory - the "reason" we have technologies like "lane assist", "backup cameras", "auto-braking", et cetera is because OLD FARTS *REFUSE* to admit that they SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING! But anywhoo... .xpi files are for Mozilla-based browsers. .crx files are for Chromium-based browsers. I get my NoScript .crx from here -- https://www.crx4chrome.com/crx/237635/ In fact, I download all of my .crx extensions from crx4chrome and never directly from the Chrome Web Store (which will not work when using the "ungoogled" version anyway). All I really do is uncheck a few of XP's Internet Properties settings. And then I do NOT allow 360Chrome to "revoke" either. Also, my XP has Internet Explorer completely disabled so the OS cannot "piggyback" on top of IE and "connect" to anything. At least that's always been my assumption, I don't exactly monitor network traffic 24/7 for 20 years and read logs every night

Allmost all software of that kind put some signature on the drive, so if you want your drive to be completely clean you need to write your own software or to hire someone to write it for you...

Nice theme! Can you share it out? I know it is from version 13.5 but it might work for v13. Unfortunately you can't have a HTTPS connection with every website. And yes, it is because of the XP outdated certificate manager. Mozilla integrated a certificate manager inside their browser so it doesn't depend on the one of the OS. Take a look at this link --> https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33922231/why-cant-windows-xp-handle-newer-ssl-certificate-versions Cheers.

Older versions of ccleaner should install and run on Win95 and on Win 98, should be 1.32 for Win95 and 2.36 for Win98: https://community.ccleaner.com/topic/27011-ccleaner-for-windows-95/ https://msfn.org/board/topic/178116-windows-95-support-and-software-information-2019/ jaclaz

Oh, if that's the case then sorry for the misunderstanding. And also sorry for the delayed response, I had gotten no notification e-mails whatsoever from this board until today when I found about 15 of them all bearing same timestamp. Maybe, but wouldn't that specifically require for that particular machine to be running in order for any other machine on the network to use that printer? A true network printer would be accessible at any time without the need for another computer to be driving it. That is precisely why I searched and chose such model. Belated thanks (see reason above). Alive but not actually living, if you understand what I mean. Just surviving, depending on a couple strangers for food and bills. Not sure how helpful it is but I remember Imagine by Chun Sejin as it has always been embedded with the omonimous Total Commander viewer extension. While working on a Cinnamon applet for Linux Mint I noticed xgamma was disconnected with the xrandr settings. After changing values through xrandr, xgamma still showed default values. When the system does use xrandr it would be best to use it to adjust brightness and gamma/color temperature. It's only a personal opinion, of course. xrandr --help and xrandr --dryrun should offer the necessary usage details. Most likely the video card contains DVI circuitry internally and uses an internal converter to output D-SUB (VGA) signal. Either the driver detects the original DVI circuitry or the card's BIOS has not been properly configured to advertise the VGA output. This can happen when manufacturers build multiple-output boards and then decide to release them as single-output. Possibly newer drivers work around known hardware bugs or just use different commands that do not produce those glitches. Personally I believe the card is at fault not the drivers, but may always be wrong. Same from me though hopefully this won't happen, if only to preserve history that newer generations would never know about. Personally I've already forgotten most of the things I knew (and posted) about Windows 9x, due to bad and worsening memory. If it would be for me to still live some time it'd be nice to have this place to revisit old memories.
