    Firefox 24 - 52 for ME and 98

    Correction. Sorry, "Restore Previous Session, Recently Closed Tabs and Recently Closed Windows" doesn't really work with latest IceApe. The menu items are merely highlighted. It only works with Newmoon. I must have been quite tired yesterday. So check whether it works with Newmoon.

    How did you manage to do this? In IceApe, it only works after rolling back the two files mentioned earlier.

    I didn't make something special. I tested on two machines and also with fresh profiles. I can only guess. I could test on a more reduced system, maybe I could try with the Kext files I provide on the first page here.

    Yes, the files for Serpent and Newmoon are XUL and nss3. I already assumed that the problem is related to the Sqlite lib update 3.50.1. I wondered, whether it is possible to edit XUL, but I didn't find the sqlite identifier in it. So that it is possible to avoid the Sqlite update error message on start, if using the new xul file. For me IceAPE-UXP is really not my first choice, because of the 0bit download problem. Or is there a fix out there?

    Serpent/Newmoon latest Versions 20250617:

    Restore Previous Session, Recently Closed Tabs and Recently Closed Windows seem to be not functional and the History and the Bookmarks created on XP+ can't be used on ME/98 anymore - now empty. So Library could be almost completely broken on Win ME now. Probably the passwords aren't saved anymore and auto fill is broken, too. Maybe even more broke. The next days will show that.

    Windows 98 SE error: Windows Protection Error. You need to restart your computer

    in Windows 9x/ME

    Posted

    I think a memory problem can largely excluded, if the entries [386Enh] MaxPhysPage=40000 and also a[vcache] MaxFileCache=393216 exist in the system.ini. MaxFileCache must be smaller than 524288. I believe, I had tested an similar board with AWARD BIOS probably fifteen years ago. As far as I remember 98 or ME didn't boot. I can't remember the details anymore.
    I use G31 boards Asus P5KPL (EPU and 1600) - but with AMI BIOS - without problems. IDE Config in BIOS must set on Compatible (PATA Mode, max four ATA devices).

    Let's see what the bootlog reveals.

    We have different installation discussions and instructions on this board and also elsewhere on the web.

    Yes, look for Integrated Peripherals/On-Chip SATA Mode: First I would try "Non-Combined - Sets all SATA devices to operate in PATA mode and disables the integrated IDE controller". Don't set Enhanced Mode. (Award BIOS) Make sure that you don't allow more than 4 ATA devices and they must work in IDE (PATA) Mode. Be aware, that 98SE isn't supported by manufacturer. So there is no guarantee that it works. Apart from that some members had success with RLoew's SATA Patch.

    Last Versions of Software for Windows 98SE

    in Pinned Topics regarding 9x/ME

    Posted

    I did some quick tests on ME and probably the last fully working and stable version is 6.92. I already get access violations with version 7.00.

    From https://web.archive.org/web/20231215051734/https://www.aida64.com/ :

    "FinalWire Introduces AIDA64 v7.00

    Revamped Design and AMD Threadripper 7000 Optimizations

    Posted | December 4, 2023

    The new AIDA64 update introduces a revamped user interface with a configurable toolbar, as well as AVX-512 accelerated benchmarks for AMD Threadripper 7000 processors, AVX2 optimized ..."

    The developers have probably noticed this with v7.60 now. Version 7 and higher is only of limited use. It starts and runs by clicking the violation messages away. Memory Benchmarks and other things no longer work.

    NVidia drivers 82.69

    Indeed currently I have no Win98(SE) installation on a hard drive.

    Greetings. I have a video card with a similar design to yours and it looks like I will soon have to do the same procedure... Let me ask you, after the BIOS patch, do you have a normal exit from DOS (Back to WINDOWS) using the "Exit" command?

    This is a key issue that the NVCORE.VxD patch failed to address. More precisely, it was this patch that broke the exit from DOS, which was tested on the reference 128MB GeForce 5 video card, first with the original NVCORE.VxD, with which the exit from DOS worked fine, and then with the patched NVCORE.VxD, with which the exit from DOS stopped working, all other things being equal. And even fine-tuning MTRR did not give positive results in this issue (But it repeatedly increased the speed of 2D and page scrolling in browsers, as well as the performance of games under DOS). Therefore, there is only one hope left - a BIOS patch.

    I checked it on ME. It's probably just as it should be in the case of the DOS Box here. The box closes using the "Exit" command. But you changed the description of the problem. So maybe now you mean "Real DOS".

    Then I installed the Unofficial Windows 98 Second Edition Service Pack from there:

    https://www.philscomputerlab.com/windows-service-packs.html

    I chose to install the option to update Outlook Express as I wanted to upgrade it to OE6 trying to help fix my connection problems but after booting Outlook Express didn't start anymore because MSOE.DLL could not be loaded.

    There could be a bug in that SP or something went wrong. You could reinstall IE(OE)5.5 or 6.0 from another source. I'm not very familiar with Win98 service packs, because I'm running WinME, but the following links should lead to all the information you need.

    WIN98 email error

    in Windows 9x/ME

    I'm not sure about GMail and IMAP. I have a working connection with a POP3 freenet account. However, I haven't checked SSL for listening, so also not in OE account/Properties/Advanced. Checked is SSL for remote here in WinSSLWrap. Further I didn't change the service names (still POP3 {SSL} Protocol/SMTP {SSL} Protocol).
