http://offbyone.com/offbyone/ 'nough said . jaclaz Also try D+ browser. Worked for me even on Pentium 133 with 16 Mb Ram with several tabs. Substantially more "decent" support for CSS (still no floats, but MSFN looks less ugly in it than in OffByOne). Even once posted here with it. However, a couple of years ago it started to crash on some modern websites. Download here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/dplus-browser/

I also read something similar about running Windows 9x on Nokia 5800 some years ago. However, I was able to run only Windows 3.11 on it. Probably it's because there were some conflicts with libraries installed with Open Transport Tycoon.

Some Skype 4.2 portable version logs in for me. I'm not sure if this version is official of somehow modified, and whether it is 98/ME compatible. I've got it from a friend, and it works (on Windows 7), but I don't know where he got it from.

Take a look at this topichttp://www.msfn.org/board/topic/97140-nvidia-drivers-8269/

May be setting compatibility mode for SeaMonkey to Win98SE, and separately for flasplayer dll to Win2000 would help?

I had such problem too. I did it in a longer way - wrote an application that runs exe's passed as a command line parameters with their passed command line and placed it to the virus location Then used AVZ.

AVZ Antiviral Toolkit can repair exe association. It should run on Windows 98 SE, but I'm not sure about FE. Note that it's not a full-featured antivirus, but rather a tool for professionals for removing malicious software. To restore exe associations, on the File menu click System Restore, then select the first check box and click the corresponding button to perform the operation. I'm using a russian version, so I'm not sure if menu commands are named as I wrote. Edit: Even after restoring EXE association it's strongly recommended to check your system with a full-featured antivirus. You can try downloading and burning a boot CD with an antivirus, and then check the system after booting from the CD - without the need to upgrade Windows.

Notepad++ often crashes on exit for me even on Windows 7. I doubt it is KernelEx-related.

May be it's worth to post about this experience in details. It unlikely is useful, but definitely is very interesting.

Does K-Meleon 74 run on Windows 98?

It doesn't require webkit. For me, it successfully worked in new Firefox and partially worked in Opera 12.14. This means that Opera 12.02 (which is the latest version of Opera that runs on Windows 98 with KernelEx) probably can run it too, at least partially.

Right today I have found and uploaded two Uberskin versions, but ElectricString was faster and has more Uberskin-related info and files. Fusionos, does it work for you?

Yes, it was intended for Windows 98. I'm talking about Uberskin, it was released between RP7 and RP9 for testing - as pre-RP9. And some of the builds worked under Windows 95 (probably with issues).

There was a successful attempt to start UberSkin (prior to the release of the latest Revolutions Pack) on Windows 95 with IE 5.5, someone posted a screenshot here. Try to find UberSkin builds. However, now I cannot find them, even the UberSkin topic itself. May be I'll search for it in my files and upload it later, however I'm not sure I have a working build.

I have even posted here with D+ Browser from Pentium 1 computer with 16 megabytes of RAM

.NET Framework exists for Win9x up to .NET Framework 2.0 (without SPs).

Have anybody tried FormatFactory? It claims to work on "All Windows OS" (though I doubt it works on Windows 95). However, on Windows 7 this is my favorite encoder.

I think, 98 should be considered 98 while it can run all the applications, compatible with Windows 98 natively. So we should stop only when we break compatibility with older applications. Unfortunately real life shows that we stop much earlier - when developers lose interest.

About Opera and Heartbleed - actually the browser itself isn't affected by this bug. That was only autoupdater exe that was affected and is fixed in 12.17. And since it connects to Opera update servers only, this bug could have been used only if somebody had placed malicious code on these Opera servers or hacked your DNS. Thus there is not much sense to update - you can simply delete Opera autoupdater if you are that much worried about heartbleed. Actually I don't update Opera since 12.14. It seems that its stability and site display just goes a bit worse with each subsequent release. And though they fixed some minor security flaws, it seems that there are no actual cases of exploiting them at all because noone targets older versions Opera 12.

Probably that's because it should load the file successfully to display this tab, and the newer file cannot be loaded because of missing imports. Have you tested it with newer Windows?

Which XP dlls exactly are necessary?

I'd try to install XP on this PC - just for fun. Should work on it

A better version of userenv.dll (based on Wine sources) was included to KernelEx. After this I didn't see a reason to continue it.

I also was running them together for years with mostly no problems and no graphical glitches. Briansurvivedwindowsme, have you installed all the updates, required by Revolutions Pack? Could they be overwritten by some other installation? As I recall, some graphical glitches could occur if some required dlls (or exes) were not updated or updated to other versions.

As I recall, old version of Object Bar didn't require KernelEx and allowed having XP style taskbar and start menu on Windows 98. However it was resource hungry (GDI and USER resources), and mostly failed to remember the recently run application list.
