I think we can trust our members and not this obscure torrent! Mine is from http://windows98.xf.cz.

I use it for years (zip file is about 2MB). It supports reading and writing. There is only one necessary file (PNTFS.vxd 100KB) to access NTFS drives. The file also can simply copied into the IOSUBSYS folder - reboot required. Apart from that there is a old version of the Partitionsmanager in the package.

I realise this is an old thread, but just hoping for some advice.
I wanted to get access to an external NTFS drive under Windows 98, and found the Paragon software that supports this.
It is free now, but when I downloaded it from Paragon and installed it, it seems to work fine but it appears to be read only.
I can write files to the NTFS drive under Windows 98 OK with it and seem to be able to use them OK, but on reboot, they have disappeared!
Is this a limitation of the Paragon program?
I gather that there was originally a free read only version, and a paid for full version.
Paragon tell me that the full version is no longer available, and they no longer support Windows 98 in any way shape or form!
They also don't support their free software anyway, so that was the end of that!
When I downloaded the "free" version, I was sent an e-mail with a registration code, which the software didn't ask for, which makes me think that there must be a fuller version still out there somewhere.
Try as I might I cannot find it though, all there is is the version I've got, an about 2 GB file.
I did find a torrent that was 12 GB, which claimed to be the full version, but it wouldn't install, with an "Installer CRC Error".
Presumably it's corrupted.
Anyone any idea where I can still get the full version, as I assume the registration code they gave me will unlock it.
Thanks, Dave.

The flac file stuttering error is fixed with latest VLC version 2.1.2 - released today.
I tried VLC 2.1.2 with kex (upgrade from 2.0.5) few days ago but when I click file menu it crashes while 2.0.5 didn't (but drag&drop a file seems to work) so I reverted back.
Hallo,
VLC 2.0.6+ should run. It runs on all my systems ME and 98SE. The MSVCRT.dll has to be updated. Running vlc with KernelEX comp. mode 2k or XP can lead to such problems. VLC must run with default compatibility options (KernelEx is enabled). 2.1.0 and higher must be installed with XP mode but must run with default compatibility options. Kext isn't required.

I can't check it out. I haven't a machine with a CPU without SSE support anymore. Did you try to open the Java panel "javacpl.cpl" directly in the program folder (C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin)?

Dinput8.dll (MS DirectInput) comes with DirectX 8 and higher. Make sure that the file is in place.

I'm looking to replace the GF4 4200 on my Win98 machine. What's the latest Nvidia card that supports AGP 2x 3.3V? An FX5200 worked, but I'm not sure if 5600 and such would do.
Every Nvidia AGP 3.0 grapics card should be completely compatible with 2X, 4X, and 8X.

Subject "Open panels via Start Menu"
Note to Win ME:
It can succeed on ME, but usually it doesn't. It had worked only on my first ME test system for a while. On ME I get the message "RUNDLL32 has caused an error in IMAGEHLP.DLL. RUNDLL will now close.". It's possible to open the panels on ME by replacing IMAGEHLP.DLL with IMAGEHLP.DLL of 98SE.
I am still not clear why it works on 98SE and not on ME. I like to understand why!I'm still not able to understand the Windows error messages.I hope one day I'll learn it or go on a course.Perhaps there is someone who helps out.
Dependency Walker: The main difference between the use of imagehlp of Win ME and imagehlp of Win 98SE seems to be the additional delay loaded DBGHELP.dll.But it is probably not relevant.I already tried different versions of DBGHELP.dll (5.0, 5.1, 6.x) IMAGEHLP.DLL (5.0, 5.1) and RUNDLL32.exe (XP/Vista).MSVCRT or updated to MSVCR70 makes no difference.As I said, only the IMAGEHLP.DLL of 98SE leads to success.

Indeed no sound with VLC 2.1.1 (portable) !!
MediaPlayerClassic Home Cinema (1.5.1.2903) plays the file but sound is very bad - sounds almost like a mono recording from the 1930s !!
So it may indeed be something more 98se related than a player 'issue'.
I think I found a way with the above mpc-hc without installing/using external filters.
Please test:
- Audio renderer: Default DirectSound Device (Other renderers might work too)
- Load the flac file
- Right click -> filters -> ffdshow audio decoder -> click Properties
- There is an option called 're-sample'. Activate it and set it to 96kHz.
But, of course, recent versions of ffdshow may allow even higher re-samplings.
Yes it works here, too. It sounds good and it isn't mono. Testet with MPC HC 1.5.1.2903, K-lite codec Pack 8.40 (ffdshow 4324) and then with ffdshow 4525. GOM Player doesn't play the file with that ffdshow setting. Soundcard: Creative SB 128 PCI

In regard to ffdshow I don't think, that you're gone to far, though I haven't yet testet latest ffdshow versions enough. Of course there is the start menu shortcut problem. Installation problems with the K-Lite Codec Pack occur with version 8.70 and higher here. I always recommend to make a clean install. Don't install over an older version.

K-Lite Codec Pack
The last version officially supported on Windows 98/ME is K-Lite Codec Pack 3.4.5 (17.09.2007). Newer versions might work if you install KernelEx.
I've tried to install newer versions of K-lite, but the install ends quickly when it determines it's running on a win-98 system. I've tried to unpack the k-lite exe file using 7-zip, but that doesn't work. How do you get newer versions of Klite to bypass the win-98 check?
Did you install the K-Lite Codec Pack with KernelEX comp. mode Win2000 SP4? Versions 7,8 and higher require KernelEX comp. mode XP!

Is there a control panel for madFLAC? I can't find an entry point to call in madFLAC.ax.
It exists in the K-lite codec Pack (Tools), not in ffdshow.

K-Lite Codec Pack
The last version officially supported on Windows 98/ME is K-Lite Codec Pack 3.4.5 (17.September.2007). Newer versions might work if you install KernelEx. Don't expect everything in the pack to work.
Wiki:
http://kernelex.sourceforge.net/wiki/K-Lite_Codec_Pack
Some configuration panels of higher versions don't work (DScaler5 MPEG-2decoder , Haali video renderer) or might cause a system crash (e.g > madFlac).
Another problem is that the control panels don't open anymore via Start Menu with versions 6.40 and higher, also with corrected shortcuts.
(Start Menu > Programs > K-lite Codec Pack > Configration > "choose panel" > properties > Shortcut > Target )
The panels need to run the RUNDLL32.exe.
e.g. Shortcut for ffdshow audio decoder: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\rundll32.exe "C:\Programme\K-Lite Codec Pack\ffdshow\ffdshow.ax",configureAudio
98/ME has the RUNDLL32.exe in the windows folder and XP in the system32 folder. The installer creates wrong Start Menu shortcuts on 98/ME. Up to version 6.30 (ffdshow rev3530) it's possible to correct the paths.
Workaround:
For higher versions it's required to use a newer RUNDLL32.exe and the Kext file below supports missing functions.Kernel32.dll:
ActivateActCtx
CreateActCtx
DeactivateActCtx
ReleaseActCtx
First, it doesn't make sense to replace the original file. An annoying message will appear on system start.
I recommend to place the newer RUNDLL32.exe into the system32 folder or renamed into the system folder. Keep the original file in the windows folder. The Shortcut paths must be adjusted accordingly.
Required:
KernelEX 4.5.2
Kext Kstub822 (an updated Kstub822.ini)Kstub822.7z
Kext Installation:
- extract Kstub822.dll and Kstub822.ini into the KernelEx folder (C:\WINDOWS\KernelEx)
- modify contents= line in Core.ini to read: contents=Kstub822,std,kexbases,kexbasen
- upon reboot it will take effect
rundll32.dll (XP version 5.1.2600.2180 (xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158) maybe other versions might work, but not testet) rundll32.7zI look forward suggestions for improvements.
The workaround works on 98SE.
Note to Win ME:
It can succeed on ME, but usually it doesn't. It had worked only on my first ME test system for a while. On ME I get the message "RUNDLL32 has caused an error in IMAGEHLP.DLL. RUNDLL will now close.". It's possible to open the panels on ME by replacing IMAGEHLP.DLL with IMAGEHLP.DLL of 98SE. The easiest way is to rename the 98SE file, e.g. imagehl.dll, and to paste it into the system folder. Then the value data of the registry string HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\KnownDLLs IMAGEHLP has to be modified to IMAGEHL.DLL. So far I can not see any abnormalities.

Just look at the strings in shortcuts. if there's no RUNDLL32 call before the ffdshow.ax, it may not work due to many missing functions (Kext may help with that). Older versions run it through RUNDLL32, newer ones don't. Not sure at which version they made the switch.
I found a relative simlple workaround to open the panels of k-lite codec Pack versions 6.40 (ffdshow rev3574) and higher. KernelEX and Kext are requiured. This should also work for ffdshow only. I'll change the topic or open a new topic for "k-lite codec Pack and ffdshow with KernelEX and Kext", because it is off-topic.

The ffdshow panels open with corrected shortcuts up to version 6.30.

Gomplayer and 24-bit/192 khz flac file:
"Process uncompressed audio (PCM)" ( DirectShow audio decoding filters ) was introduced with k-lite codec Pack version 5.05. GOM 2.43 plays the file, if the filter is activated (set to ffdshow - AC3filter not tested) during installation. GOM 2.43 doesn't require Kext. K lite codec Pack 5.05 full installed with comp mode Win 2000.
Another Test:
GOM plays the file with K-lite codec Pack 6.10 Full and Standard, but not with the 6.10 Basic version.

@Drugwash
Now, you asked about the ffdshow control panels. I've has that issue too and downgraded a few installations before realizing where the issue was.
Apparently, the shortcuts created in Start > Programs > ffdshow are using full path enclosed in double quotes for the Target field. And everytime the darn thing wouldn't fire up. So I finally replaced the full path with standard 8.3 path, losing the double quotes.
So from this:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\RUNDLL32.EXE "C:\Program Files\ffdshow\ffdshow.ax",configureAudio
I got to this:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\RUNDLL32.EXE C:\PROGRA~1\ffdshow\ffdshow.ax,configureAudio
and the codec control panels showed up right away. There's no need to modify the Start in path. But please be aware that this control panel uses ffdshow.ax, which - depending on version - may require registering and may also require XP compatibility mode (and I'm not sure it will work even then - see missing dependencies).
I currently have build 3562 installed and control panels working correctly. This may be true for Haali and other control panels, but it's up to you to test, since I don't have those installed here.
Hopefully all this is not just wasted web space. That's about all I can do, at least for now. Good luck, guys!Thank you for the quick reply and the work out. My first attempts with version 7.70 failed. I'll try to find a method to open the panels and see what's possible.

Just found. I need Kext to run GOM Player 2.1.47 and higher.

I'm at a loss and would rather use my time on something more meaningful. Sorry...
Of course, it isn't very important to play this specific flac file.
Gomplayer:
madFLAC isn't the key reason. The decisive factor is to set "Process uncompressed audio PCM" from disabled to ffdshow during the installation of the K-L codec Pack! I'll check again. Latest Test on 98SE, SB 128 PCI, Gomplayer 2.1.50, K-Lite codec Pack 7.70 full, P 640 Prescott.
VLC Player:
I never read that SSE2+ is mandatory required for vlc. I read in the changelog "Support for SSE3 and SSE4 capabilities in some codecs" (since version 1.1.0).
K-lite codec Pack:
Is it possible to open the config Panels (ffdshow, Haali...) of version 6 and higher on 98/ME? missing shortcut...?
@Nomen
If I select Microsoft Soundmapper, I can hear the music.
Did you find a possibility to play the flac file?

NTFS support in Win 98/SE/ME?
in Windows 9x/ME
Posted · Edited by schwups
NTFS4Win98 works here on 40GB drives up to 250GB drives both PATA and SATA. I don't have a bigger drive than 250GB. I never testet eSATA and I'm not sure about USB connection.
halohalo said about bigger drives:
