All the subsequent off-topic posts about Win RT are now in their own thread, which must be used for that subject. Further posts about the Win RT jailbreak in this thread will be simply deleted without notice. Thanks!

Say hello to LLXX. Rule #7.b

What JRE you do have installed and working? If it is one of the 1.6 versions, you might as well just use MsiX.EXE, a fantastic command-line tool, able to extract files from .msi, .msm and .msp installation files to extract the .msi contents and then put them in place, over the old ones... it's labor intensive, but it might work.

When bigmuscle sees fit to, and not any earlier.

Well you haven't made a single attempt to contact me... Anyway, it's nice to see some developer actually interested in continuing the project. It's great to hear from you, Xeno86! And nice to see you still keep with us, even if not actively developing any 9x/ME projects anymore.

The timing issue LoneCrusader solved for Win 95 almost surely would be present in earlier versions, if I may hazard a guess...

No. CPU1, for all purposes, does not exist both for DOS and for Win 3.1... I really doubt it'd cause any trouble. Your freezes might very well be related to some still unreported timing issue in windows VMM. Fact is you're very far away from those conditions in which Win 3.1 is known to run OK. That's what "to boldly go where no man has ever gone before" is all about.

JRE-6u30-windows-i586 does *NOT* need SSE2, and I'm sure of it because I'm running it on an Athlon XP 3000+ Barton (but on Win XP SP3). Here's what I get from JavaTester:

Not that I have any notice. But it sure is worth trying.

@mchipser: Do not open two different threads because of the same problem and do not double-post.

Of course it's possible to get 98 running in your machine, and you've come to the right place for how to. Read a little around this forum, starting with the threads linked from my signature below. Welcome to MSFN!

No, I don't think it's related (although anything is possible). But MSFN was out for me, too, for something under 24h.

Once again, bphlpt, you've found a better quality source, thank you! This one, however, I think you'll find of good enough quality (it's in Portuguese, but enjoyable nonetheless... as for what it says, think of a much terser, combat rock version of "New York, New York", and change the city name).

Instead of simply deleting it, copy Normal.dot to a completely unrelated folder... let's say: Create a folder in My Documents called "february". Make a copy of your current Normal.dot in that new folder. Then rename the copy of Normal.dot inside "february" to Normal_dot.ori. Now go back to the original location of Normal.dot and delete it. If anything goes wrong you can use the safety copy you created in the "february" folder to undo your changes.

No, it hasn't. 5512 is the latest build available.

I'd start by trying (2) for one week (or until a read-only file appears, if sooner that one week). Then I'd add (1), and wait for another week (or until a read-only file appears, if sooner that one week). Then I'd remove (2), while leaving (1), for still another week (or until a read-only file appears, if sooner that one week). All this without Compatibility Mode. Just my 2¢. Would you please point me to the KB articles?

XXCOPY 2.96.8 - xxfw2968.zip can do it from a running 98SE system, and the copy will boot OK usually. XXCOPY 2.96.8 can do it from a running 98SE system, to another drive shared over the network, and the copy will usually still be able to boot OK the original (=source) machine, if brought to it.

Some seemingly innocent things like the "/MERGE:.rdata=.text" (esp. when combined with upx compression) do optimization trigger many heuristic engines. Those engines seem to work by the famous "kill them all and let God sort them out afterwards" principle...

Thanks, JFX, you rock!

Bumping just to call attention to two interesting Symantec KB documents I've found: Manually Uninstalling Symantec AntiVirus 9.x from Windows 98/Me Manually Uninstalling Symantec Client Security 2.0 from Windows 98/Me @jds: It might be interesting to give a look in all of those places, since SAV is not officially indicated as one of the packages the NRT_9x removes. Who says you won't find up some leftovers lurking in some obscure nook or cranny?

@Dogway: To me it's pretty obvious that neither submix8c meant to be offensive to you, nor you did mean to be offensive to him... yet it escalated out of nothing. I do hope you both have no hard feelings about one another. That said, all main questions have been answered already, so I do agree it's time to stop an absurd conversation gone wrong.

That's my view of it, too. You've got 7 already. The benefits of upgrading, if any, should be minimal.

Bump to keep on 1st page.
