There's always the Wayback Machine, too. Though it doesn't save large files unless the site has been linked to a lot, or something.

Wow. How did you do that?

Yet so true.

Great, another NT fanboy has come to troll our forum. Go away.

Don't buy the Zune. It's a piece of s***, and the new messiah of DRM.

I knew there were 64-bit versions of XP. But few buy those. There's no point when all the stuff you're going to run is 32-bit, and there are few drivers for 64-bit XP.

It's intended for Windows 95 OSR 2.x, but I'm sure the .ini file editing could apply to other versions and other applications.

You know, you can have two partitions with different file systems on one hard drive.

Here's a good guide for stripping Windows 95 OSR 2.x of IE and company: http://toastytech.com/evil/lab.html#rem95

It will try to install on the primary partition, you can't choose. It won't try to format it, I think, it will stop if the partition isn't FAT.

ASP sucks. It encourages cheap programming, and doesn't run all too well. And it runs on Windows servers, which generally suck. PHP is good for pages that require some form of interactivity, like parsing data from a form. I would use HTML for all static pages. Not everything needs to be PHP.

Well, I have a SiS chipset, so I should be fine. By the way, one does not need to enter line breaks, except for making paragraphs, in posts. Lines wrap automatically.

It doesn't make sense to me to buy a CPU that you can't fully use. And I got my CPU for just 25€ with cooler included, so...

Wow, all those steps just to disable ACPI and APM? o_O I had already removed the LoadPowerProfile stuff, but the other things look a little daunting.

From second-hand shops, shops dealing in older hardware, and if you live in the US, NewEgg.com. I got a 32-bit CPU for my new PC. You can, too. That's not an opinion, it's a fact. Unfortunately.

I don't mind anyone bumping this topic. Thanks, I'll give it a whirl. That's what I thought, and I indeed found a compatible DLL at MDGx' site. For my MSN needs, I've revived the msnmsgr project at MozDev a couple months ago. Shameless plug, heh, but it's an alternative if you use SeaMonkey (and soon also for Firefox).

Nathan's USB driver has been plugged several times before indeed. It's intended mainly for USB flash drives, though. Not USB hard disks. Yay, I'm not the only one here anymore! Welcome! I feel the same way, though my primary reason is that I just like to use it over anything else. That, and what they are willing to support. They don't want to support Firefox on Windows 95. I guess people were lucky that it did work fine until 1.5.x, save for a crashing Import Wizard. Easily resolved by deleting the bmpmenu.dll and rebarmenu.dll plug-ins (names may be slightly different, I'm typing this from memory). At least until K-Meleon 1.0.2. With K-Meleon 1.1, these problems don't exist, but the url bar doesn't work, at least for me.

Note that more often than not this is a website-related problem, not an Opera problem. There are still many sites out there that do dumb user agent sniffing, and/or have non-standards compliant code.

This is very good news, indeed.

My friend said that was the model. Looking on the box, it's actually ASRock K7S41GX. That's what I did. The chipset is SiS 741GX. Nothing happened to that devotion. But I wanted a newer PC that could run Phantasy Star Universe (would have gotten it on console if it was also for the GameCube of Wii) and for Mozilla development. Unfortunately, Windows 95 can't run on such a setup, at least not until someone creates the necessary motherboard drivers and figures out a way to port the timing issue fix which exists for Windows 98 and up. Also, the number of bishoujo games (not available on consoles) that don't run on my Windows 95 PC because of not having the required DirectX version and/or not the necessary computing power is increasing. So I went with the second best option, Windows 98 SE. I still mainly use my Windows 95 PC, though, with the other PC more like a secondary machine.

Take a 32-bit CPU instead of a 64-bit one. Windows 98, XP and most Linux distributions don't support 64-bit, and almost all applications don't either. There is no advantage of 64-bit unless you need to use more than 2 GB of RAM.

Doesn't look like it'd be a replacement for command.com in that case.

I installed IE6 SP1, and then setup continued. However, it crashed at the installation of the Enhanced Asus driver. The rest seemed to continue anyway. After a reboot, though, I still couldn't select more than 16 colours. So I tried installing only the VGA driver. Still couldn't. I searched the Internet for the drivers, and after some searching, I found and installed Catalyst 6.2. The driver works, but the configuration panel seems to have problems, as it always crashes. Installed the unofficial service pack. Gape should replace the icon vulnerability patch by the unofficial fix hosted by MDGx. I uninstalled that fix. I also renamed wmiexe.exe to wmiexe.bak to keep it from running. There is still a hourglass 5 seconds after the desktop appears, but it's better. I was booting the CD and running setup, so I couldn't do that. Though I guess I could just have booted DOS from the CD and run setup that way. But it still was better to fix the actual problem. For anyone who is interested, these are the PC's specs: Motherboard: ASRock K51GX CPU: AMD Sempron 2800+ (really an Athlon XP in disguise) RAM: 1 GB DDR1 Graphics card: ATI Radeon 9250 Sound card and network card are part of the motherboard.

.com and .exe files are of a different format. Changing the extension of a file will NOT magically change its format!

But your quote also includes him saying that browsing porn sites will get you infected, which IS bulls*** if you use a secure browser. Note that that was the one part I was quoting. Back when I used AVG, I saw no noticeable speed decrease in system operation. Even though my system is a Pentium II 233 Mhz.
