Probably installed Windows 98 more than 100 times over the years. Most OS are installed, use them for 3-5 years, move on. In Linux there are always new distributions and releases, the change over can be frequent. This latest install is two scoops of vanilla on a waffle cone. Other than installing DirectX v9.0c, no Windows Updates were applied. Haven't tested Windows 98 in this manner yet, so far so good. Might be considered good enough for someone that just wants to set up a quick system for a gaming fix. Favourite part of a fresh Windows 98 system is the tweaking: drivers, base software, basic configuration, tweak to infinity. Usually takes numerous sessions, even weeks or months, until the system becomes seasoned, the sweet spot! Definitely a good time for a full backup.

The source is Quadro release notes 442.19. NVIDIA still provides GeForce driver 442.19 for Windows 7. But Quadro driver 441.66 is the last version to support Windows 7. So users of Windows 7/ 8.1 need to use GeForce driver when NVIDIA releases next security update.

If I load a page with externally hosted pictures, no hope Interesting, that reminds me of one of the killer probs with KG74 (for Win2000) on my specific 98 machine: For every link on a page it adds a 0.2sec freeze, cumulating them all, before even showing anything. NM26 and KG74 have the same engine, now wonder if that'S possibly related somehow... Did you notice any dependance on the *number of links* contained in a page? My home page is just a local link list, quite long but pure html, no frills, that demonstrates the prob clearly. (BTW another killer: can't use it anyway, since after loading any LOCAL page the browser will crash when calling 2 or more WEB pages, and vice-versa, very weird)

Agreed! For those users there's the latest iPhone. For the other users who need video tutorials spoon-feeding them in baby steps, the latest iPhone is also a good bet. Now, for those who love to experiment and find out things for themselves, for those who are game for reinstalling a zillion times with minor variations, all the while taking accurate notes and making reliable, know-to-be-good, image backups, well... for those, a retro OS like 9x/ME or OS/2 or even DOS can be an enjoyable hobby or even a day-to-day (more difficult nowadays) general-use OS.

Any program made by Mozilla natively supports portable mode. To do this, create a cmd file with the string: basilisk.exe -Profile "User" or add the -Profile "User" parameter to the shortcut. The folder User will be created in the program folder. Instead of "User", you can write any word.

@FranceBB You see? @KawaiiBunnyRU It is about "photographic proof", not "testimonials", see the original thread: This said, I have seen things you people wouldn't believe. Diskless thin clients running custom OSes. I watched terminals failing to connect to mainframes with blinking cursors. All those moments ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tears_in_rain_monologue jaclaz
