Welcome to MSFN, Johnny! Great to have another 9x user here on the boards! We hope you have a great time here.

Welcome, Skid! It's great to have you here. I hope you enjoy your stay here at MSFN!

Absolutely not. I will not downgrade my machines from 98 or 2000.

Welcome to MSFN, lizonya007! It's great to have you here. We hope you have a great time in our community!

In my opinion, it'll probably be a bit difficult to get videos working well on that machine. But you didn't mention how high quality the video is. Anything above 640x480 will probably be choppy, HD quality would definitely not be possible. The hard drive would definitely be faster than a USB1 port. It's noticeable between 1 and 2. How maxed out are you in hardware? Are you using an OEM machine or a custom built one? What I always do is if I have spare parts around, I try upgrading the machine as best as I can. But it's hard to know exactly what steps to take since I'm not quite sure what you're dealing with here.

Welcome to MSFN, Liang! We hope you enjoy our community!

We were wrong all this time, nitro, dead wrong.

Warining about how you could totally destroy everything stored on your disk drivers is actually a good idea there, Trip.

Welcome to MSFN! We hope that you enjoy your stay here.

I'm pretty sure it does, it seems to me that I put my router on WPA2 for a while before I reintroduced Windows 98 to my network and so I set it to mixed WPA/WPA2 since I'm sure Windows 98 doesn't work on WPA2 since I think it's lucky wireless works at all.

If you or other customers encounter problems activating Office XP, please contact Microsoft support (http://support.microsoft.com) for help. No update to Office XP is needed or planned at this time.

I have the volume license version so I can't tell you for sure since I can't test it. I personally prefer Office 2000 to Office XP myself.

Glad to have you here, Godonma! Enjoy MSFN!

Welcome to MSFN! We hope you enjoy your stay here with us! If you have any questions, be sure to post a thread in the appropriate forum.

Welcome to MSFN! We'll be glad to give you any sort of help we can. Just post a thread in the appropriate forum and I'm sure someone with the expertise can point you in the right direction.

Welcome to MSFN, kentet! We hope you enjoy your stay here. I'm sure you'll find several people who share the same interest as you do.

Right, and make sure your router is on mixed mode. It probably is since I don't know if it'll downright refuse connection to anything less than what you specify or not.

Sounds like interference to me. How far away from the router are you? Make sure there are no cordless phones running on the same frequency as your network within range. If you can, please try this adapter on another computer as well with a different OS. OS shouldn't matter as long as the driver installs and is working, but for the sake of exhausting possibilities, that's what I'd do.

This is why I absolutely love when software companies like Apple and Microsoft tell you to hop to the newest platform, always. Yet, I still believe that no matter how much you patch your code, there will always be vulnerabilities. There will be a weak point to everything whether they like it or not.

You won't be disappointed, trust me. I've been using it ever since Den recommended it to me about 2-3 years ago. Never looked back since! Plus it's pretty much compatible with all FireFox plugins.

Because it works, it has low overhead, and did I mention that it works? Really, are these top tech people so stupid that they can't understand why people are still using it? Not everyone needs all the latest coding put into the OS but usually it just runs amok with other code and older programs don't always work because of this. Microsoft went wrong starting with Vista. I'm not knocking Vista for the usual reasons though because quite honestly, all of Windows NT 6.x follows the same suit, it requires a lot of power just to run the OS itself. As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't matter if newer computers are more powerful...I'd rather have the power reserved for my games and applications, not just to run the freakin OS! *facepalm*

You will have some difficulty and in order to run it in this state, you will definitely need Rloew's RAM patch and even then Windows 98 will only see it as 3.1GBs. 250GB SATA goes over the 137GB limit, so you'll need Rloew's high disk capacity patch, although I think there are a few patches floating around here that'll work as well and they're free. HD Audio will never work with Windows 98 and I don't even know if there's ever anyone that could crack that open. As for the USB adapter, it's unlikely that it'll work but since you didn't specify the actual model, I can't say for sure. Onboard video won't work either, I'm sure. Windows 98 will *work*, but there will be a lot of configuring and playing around to do. Rloew's patches are pretty much a must though but those will cost a little bit of money. Not a lot, but some. Do you plan on running any other OS along side 98 or by itself? What form factor is the computer? You could add expansion cards that'll probably make it usable.

Just do what you can, man! You've already made super strides in the Windows 2000 community and between you and Blackwingcat, I've been able to keep 2000 as my production environment nearly 6 years AFTER Microsoft pulled the plug on it. Both of you deserve a big hand for all the hard work you've put into it as well as all the past members who'd contributed as well.

It's been in development for quite a few years now but quite honestly, with HFSLIP, it's almost like having USP5.2 slipstreamed right into your installation and if you grab the big .NET package he has available (If you rely on many .NET framework applications even up to 4.0), then it's a hugely recommended update as well!

All versions of Windows XP shipped with IE6, even with Service Pack 2/3, that doesn't change. Windows XP SP3 upgrades IE to IE6 SP3 as long as you haven't upgraded the browser on your own.

Warez is strictly against forum rules. Please obtain a legal copy of Windows 2000 and if you need help, create a new thread and we'll be more than happy to help. Until then... Topic LOCKED Just for reference, Windows 2000 is still available on both eBay and Amazon for reasonable prices, some even still shrink wrapped in their original cases.
