You never really answered the question on why I won't like Windows 7?
0 -
I've had it with Windows 98, I will be purchasing a new custom built computer soon with Windows 7.
You won't like it.
Why won't I like it?
I know people that have it and don't have all this hassle trying to view stuff that 98 seems to not be able to do without patches for this and that.

Update windows scripting engine, sorry but unsure what you mean?

Uninstall your flash player and go back to Adobe and install an older flash version.
Have a look here for older versions of Flash: http://www.oldapps.com/flash_player.php?old_flash_player=15
Version 10.0.12.36 works well on one of my win-98 systems that has KernelEx 3.6 installed on it. This is with Firefox 2.0.0.20. You can download that flash version from here: http://download.oldapps.com/Flash_Player/install_flash_player_10.0.12.36.exe
But I am sure I got the street view to work without the KernelEx.
And when it did work I had the flash 9 version with the modded driver, now it doesn't work.
When you say it works on your system, is that with the modded driver, and did you have to do any compatibilities using Kernel Ex?

So why is my google street view not working when it worked previously using the modified driver?

I've had it with Windows 98, I will be purchasing a new custom built computer soon with Windows 7.
I have tried as much patching this old system, but I do think the time has come to upgrade it.
By the way the modified driver didn't work after I removed the KernelEx and went back to Firefox 2.
It won't be long before all AV vendors drop their support for 98, Avast being one of them.

I went back to Firefox 2.0.0.20 and even with that new driver street view doesn't work!
Why???
0 -
Ah, Ok, so have you like me had to use the modified driver called NPSWF32.DLLthat has to be placed in the flash system folder which enables you to view the likes of Google Street View etc, as it fools the system into thinking you have flash 10 installed when actually it's flash version 9.
Regarding the KernelEx, all I have done is made compatable the Firefox exe file, is there anything else that you think should be changed for my KernelEx program that may help with other stuff on Windows 98?
I actually thought that having the KernelEx program would allow us to install the very latest Flash player, but obviously I was wrong, and will have to wait on an updated KernelEx.
Is there any reason to have to go into the core and change the default for the operating systems on KernelEx?

Right, I have installed KernelEx, and now have the latest Firefox version 3.6.4
I went to the Adobe site and installed Flash player 10, but my concern is when I go to the Adobe Flash test page the player or info does not appear!
Is there something I have done wrong? and should I ever need to go to the core of kernelex and change the default to XP?
0 -
Ok, I have now installed KernelEx 4.5.2 beta 2.
Do I need to make anything else XP2 compatible? I have already made Firefox 2.0.0.20 XP2 compatible to enable me to install the latest Firefox version which I now have which is 3.6.4.
I have also noticed however if I am about to save something in a window, if I right click any folders in the window everything closes down, any reason for this?

As this is to do with KernelEx, can I ask you to look at my thread on the link I have placed below, then come back here and reply if there is an answer to it, many thanks.

I was told I could configure KernelEx so that windows thinks I have Windows 98 S.E for the Firewall problem that I just mentioned, but I don't know how to do this, can anyone help and advise me please?
I was confused why I would need to do this being that I already have Windows 98, but am I right in thinking that you can configure KernelEx for different programs on the system?
In other words have KernelEx to fool the system into thinking I have XP, but also to make it think I still have 98 for the firewall?

When I restarted the computer an Adobe message appeared asking me to update to a newer version of Flash player, when I hit to accept it looked like it was going to install, but then a windows message said that it wanted an upgraded version of windows, so does this mean if I install KernelEx then all new versions of the flash player will install?
And to answer your question why I use Firefox 2 is because when I had KernelEx installed my Zone Alarm Firewall failed to launch in the system tray.
Is there a way around this, like a configuration for KernelEx, I ask as I don't know too much about what to configure for that program.
Can I just point out that although I have Flash player 9 installed I have it reported as 10 by using the new modded driver.

I changed those two key values from 9.0.277.0 to 10.0.45.2 (the most current version 10)
The most current version of Flash is 10.1.53.64, can you try it with that version?
I believe it won't work, because "10.1.53.64" has 10 charachters, while both "9.0.277.0" and "10.0.45.2" have 9. This means one can substitute "10.0.45.2" for "9.0.277.0" without occupying any space not intended for that string (i.e.: it's an isometric patch), but cannot do the same with "10.1.53.64", because the latter is one byte too long. I found out, not so long ago, that such a non-isometric patch breaks Flash 7, so I'm quite confident it'd similarly break Flash 10. And, even if I didn't know about the patching of Adobe 7, generally speaking, non-isometric patches are expected to break programs, and usually really do so.
Thanks for that info, I am quite happy that my browser reports flash version "10.0.45.2" as being installed, when of course we know it really isn't, as I actually have "9.0.277.0" installed, have I got this part right in that now that the driver has been amended so that my system is fooled to think that version 10 is installed, is it the browser that is being fooled or is it my system?
I would think the latter being that the amended driver sits in the windows system, have I got this right?

Following this same logic, I wonder if it is possible to use the same method on 98SE to defeat some sites that already want you to upgrade to Flash 10?
Probably. Which sites do you have in mind? If I can reproduce the problem, I can test myself, so I can develop a workaround (if there is one) faster...
Please try the BBC News website, for example:

Flash videos stopped working on this website a few months ago with Win98SE + Firefox 2.0.0.20 + Flash Player 9.0.246.0
I'd like to get them going again. Thanks!
When I visit these links I see an image with the small circle moving round like it is loading, but that's all it does, I use the latest version 9 of adobe flash by the way.
I now report as having Flash 10, but these 2 sites report the following...
The Content doesn't seem to be working, Try again later.
Anyone else that uses Firefox 2.0.0.20 and have amended the driver get the same message?
I think perhaps these links have been ceased by the bbc as I can get others to work on their site.

I haven't tried that version, but I wondered now that I am reported as having 10.0.45.2 after amending the driver is it then possible to try and update 10.0.45.2 to the most recent version of flash being 10.1.53.64, or would that just mess things up and perhaps I should just be happy that I have flash 10.I changed those two key values from 9.0.277.0 to 10.0.45.2 (the most current version 10)
The most current version of Flash is 10.1.53.64, can you try it with that version?

Can someone that uses KernelEx on Windows 98 S.E please give me step by step instructions on how to configure it to fool windows to think I have XP, and is it safe to try it for Vista?
Also do I need to install the Firefox user agent switch, and if so what are the best setting configurations to use?

When I try and install adblockplus I receive the following error, Signing could not be verified 260.
What do I need to do?
I need to install this to FF 2.0.0.20 as I can't get Kernelex to work as it stops my firewall from loading.
Hi,
the last version of Adblockplus that work with Firefox 2.0.0.20 is 1.0.2
Minimal requirements: Firefox 2.0, Thunderbird 2.0, SeaMonkey 1.1, Flock 1.0, K-Meleon 1.1https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/1865/versions/?page=1#version-1.0.2
thanks for that, although I already found this to be the case and have already installed it.
Funny thing is I was able to manually install it over the older 0.7.5 version, but when I tried the normal FF method of updating it said there were no updates, wonder why that is.

I am back with FF 2.0.0.20, but for some reason I am unable to get my ABP Ad Block Plus back, any ideas?
According to Add-ons for Firefox page, Adblock Plus 1.2 works with FF 3.0.12 - 3.7a6pre only but Ad blocker 0.6.7 works with FF 1.5 - 3.6
I tried KernelEx beta, but I had to remove it as it was stopping my ZoneAlarm from running in the system tray.Did you try the Compatibility setting in KernelEX set to 98SE for Zone Alarm? You should have posted your problem in the KernelEx thread, I am sure someone would have given you the remedy.
I was not sure how to do this, the only think I did do was change the number for the operating system to either XP or Vista. I was unsure if I needed to do anything else.
By the way I managed to get adblockplus 0.7.5 installed and working.

Is there any way to install Adobe Flash player version 10 to Windows 98 Firefox 2.0.0.20
Flash Player 10.0.45.2 works with KernelEx 4.5 Beta on FF 2.0.0.20 see this thread http://www.msfn.org/...elex-45-beta-2/
It functions better than Flash 9 does without KernelEx.

I ask as this is what is needed to enable street view in Google.
I have tried the Firefox useragent but it didn't work.

Did you manage to run it without KernelEx on a win-98 system?
