  1. Yes, a very underrated OS. The last amazing OS after XP. Try Ex7ForW8 (Explorer from Windows 7 ) on it and see how the OS flies. Modern OSes (10,11...) started with 8.0... well I wrote a lot about it... I don't want to say the same again, but I'm happy to see when people appreciate this nice OS and I hope we have a good KernelEx for it one day.
  2. are you sure? don't believe the truth Net Framework 4.8 can be installed on 1511 / 10586
  3. First of all, thanks, this is gold for me. Ok I can see both CF-18 Models as you say @awkduck: - 82852/82855 GM/GME Graphics Controller - Mobile Intel(R) 915GM/GMS,910GML Express Chipset Family but... are you sure I'll have 3D acceleration ? Cause I have read this regarding to "Intel(R) 82852/82855 GM/GME Graphics Controller": " -Driver does NOT support 3D acceleration it appears; attempting to play 3D games displays a glitched screen. " ( https://retrosystemsrevival.blogspot.com/2019/06/intel-945gm-display-driver-for-windows.html ) _ I guess the Panasonic thoughbooks are the only fanless laptops with Pentium M & 82852/82855 GM/GME Graphics Controller, due to the metal case, right? Or these is a fanless smaller laptop with same/similar cpu&graphics?
  4. @awkduck Do you know if there is an alternative to CF-28 like these fanless laptops compatible with Windows 9x but with a VGA port in laptop ? (vga port for these are on the dockin station) Panasonic Toughbook CF-M33 Panasonic Toughbook CF-M34 https://panasonic.fandom.com/wiki/CF-M33 https://panasonic.fandom.com/wiki/CF-M34 1024x768 will be good. Doesn't matter if it's 800x600 I knwo it's the standard back in the day. I prefer fanless than 1024. https://history-computer.com/panasonic-toughbook-full-history-of-the-toughest-laptop/ https://download.milesburton.com/Libretto/www.fixup.net/tips/cfm32.htm (comparison) http://laptop.pics/panasonic-toughbook-cf-m34/ Thanks Edit: I just found Thinkpad 560ED doesn't have a fan, but can only support 80mb of ram and screen support only 64k colors... well I can change the screen by the one in the 560Z model https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_ThinkPad_560 Just discovered MITSUBISHI PEDION today, an ultrabook that runs WIndows 9x native. My life won't be the same. http://insight.actapricot.org/insight/products/notebook/pedion/ped-main.htm https://wiki.preterhuman.net/index.php?title=Mitsubishi_Pedion&mobileaction=toggle_view_desktop
  5. A kernelex for w95 could be amazing @WinFX also please, try to make usb 2 work in windows 95, I know it's possible cause @rloew done it back in the day: https://www.betaarchive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=443788&sid=60024bc16295245fc3274557940557a2#p443788 I was able to get USB 2 to work with Windows 95. It took a combination of Files from 98FE, a Beta File, an Interrupt Driver I had to write, and some Patches to get it to work.
  6. is there any site to see stats about how many people really use Windows 10/11 Store/MetroUI in a PC or a laptop? Look at this: ALL Metro-ified components of Windows ever since Windows 8.0. https://winclassic.net/thread/1652/list-metro-ified-components-windows This is the major mistake since SP3. This can't be a replacement of an Old Win32 or whatever OS classic component. Metro needs to be a separated component, moving and replacing system parts to a metro based application is a mistake. Luckily you can get almost everything back with the help of winclassic forum, but a shell divided into classic and modern metro components it's not a user friendly interface. Anyway, programmed obsolescence will disappear, and MS will be forced to create new updates for 9x and NT5, why? there is no reason to get rid of old hardware on this warmed planet that is already saturated with tons of trash. you do not believe it? look what a (G)oldie OS means: Please Bill, come back. Come back... it was all cool back in the day. Even the grey taskbar without themes. What happened?
  7. is online video playing fixed on supermium @Jody Thornton ?
  8. that's what I call GOOD NEWSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS !!!! thanks for sharing this, I just checked on MS site (Lifecycle FAQ - Extended Security Updates) and yesss this is amazing long life to the best Microsoft OS since Windows XP, aka 8.0 | NT 6.2 | Server 2012 (R1) https://pureinfotech.com/windows-8-to-dramatically-reduce-memory-usage/
  9. Have you seen this? Post by @rloew » Fri Aug 09, 2019 7:31 am (on B.A. https://www.betaarchive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=40171 ) I was able to get USB 2 to work with Windows 95. It took a combination of Files from 98FE, a Beta File, an Interrupt Driver I had to write, and some Patches to get it to work. Has @rloew released the Interrupt Driver and these patches somewhere in the past?
  10. On 8 only in sandbox mode @win32
  11. Does anyone know how can I enable Console Mode login on Windows 8? Like the server core version (2012 R1 / R2) neesd to be something related to logonui.exe, winlogon, Windows.UI.dll, Windows.UI.Cred, Windows.UI.Xaml, Windows.UI.Immersive, rundll32 and some registry keys. Can't be really difficult to have it working instead of default login screen. Thanks
  12. Ok, thanks, which dll is involved in video playing?
  13. Thanks @D.Draker but this version of chrome doesn't work... The procedure entry point DiscardVirtualMemory could not be located in the dynamic link library... chrome.dll
  14. Thanks @win32 Supermium running on the lightest NT6 OS ever made (8.0) by MS But the same problem as in the previous version someone released some months ago... online videos not working, do you know how to fix? (except for youtube)
  15. is there something like win8verhack for w10? yes, I'm looking for the opposite to make one Windows 10 application think it's w8. I want to do a test with the explorer & taskbar. Thanks @K4sum1 @vinifera
  16. @windows2 Looks great! thanks !! but... my first fear (even more with Portable Office) is to lose the document that I'm writing when I spend time without saving it... are you sure it won't close Office while I'm using it, if it runs in background? I started using taskkill especially to close several instances of a program without asking me to save... Well I don't know exactly what you check with the .exe but one way to accomplish it will be to list opened windows title ( like this one but with a command line utility https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/winlister.html ) and if Word, Excel... it's not on the list you can close the process I think... like: tasklist /fi "IMAGENAME eq winword.exe" /v why it won't start?
  17. Just in case you missed this one I have recently discovered. A m a z i n g work! @WinClient5270 _____ Do you know if there is also the Watercolor (Whistler) default blue theme? The watercolor theme I've found on this thread seems to have a dark blue color instead of the default, also the caption bar buttons are small. This is what I want: and also the taskbar: I have seen a Windows Blinds theme for Windows 2000, I don't know if it can be used with RP9 Uberskin on 98... https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/windowblinds/3178/ (.WBA can be opened like a .zip) So this is the one I want: https://guidebookgallery.org/screenshots/whistler2257 So if somebody can create it, please... I don't currently have XP to do some tests, but with some modifications maybe the dark Watercolor can be changed to the default one (also with the default taskbar)... Original Whistler Watercolor theme is available on Devianart and can be installed on XP without any modification (no theme patches or similar required) After getting used to seeing the visual theme of Windows 8.0/8.1/10 during these years, I now see the Watercolor theme in a different way, since plain themes are modern these days or at least is how I feel them. Thanks !! Edit: Ok, I just read this on @Tihiy website http://tihiy.net/uber/: FAQ - Easy Windows XP skin porting
  18. @awkduck Do you think VBEMP can enable VGA output (dongle) on VAIO P11Z ? Intel GMA 500 __ Long story short, the only "new" compatible netbooks with windows 98 are: VIA C7 chipset VX700 like VIA NanoBook UMD Astone UMPC
  19. @awkduck I have also seen Dell CPx with this FAN at the back, does it has variable speed? It really has a big heatsink, maybe the fan speed can be lowered a bit Maybe I can make some holes so that it doesn't heat so much?
  20. @jaclaz @awkduck thanks maybe I can underclock one Acer 5315 I have from 2006, I don't remember the Intel gpu it have, maybe GM965 ? Does it have w98 drivers? The fan from this model turns on and off automatically so it's not always on.. maybe this can be underclocked anway... I prefer a fanless one rather than a fake signal.. I have investigated this in the past Ok, there is no Libretto 100CT alternative netbook with same hardware + more ram and fanless, right? so going back to the available fanless options, maybe I can buy fanless one (so not a high cpu) and buy a PCMCIA GPU (so I can have a 1920x1080 monitor connected when I need more resolution and 3D) https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=47417 Yes, I didn't know this exists...
  21. How can I confirm this is fanless 100% as an user said on vogons? Sony vaio Model PCG-V505DX Sony Vaio PCG-V505DX 12" 1024x768 4:3 display Microsoft Windows Millinium Edition Intel Pentium M 1.4GHz ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 128MB 40GB 5200 RPM PATA HDD 1GB DDR RAM Yamaha AC-XG Audio Intel Proset Wireless 2300AG DVD-ROM Drive "In terms of heat the machine is a fanless design which outputs minimal heat apparently sinking most of it into the bottom of the chassis. I have had no thermal related issues nor have I encountered any thermal throttling." https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=55562 Strange cause it appears here with a fan https://www.insidemylaptop.com/upgrade-hard-drive-sony-vaio-pcg-v505dxp/ Maybe same model name has different hardware config...
  22. So it doesn't have a fan? Well, I just seen all Thinkpads have a connector for the dock, maybe I can find one with lower cpu
  23. I think I just need to try different VIA HyperionPro drivers versions and maybe a Kernel Ex or as much updates as I can on W98 or WME to get the gpu working cause the comment of the HP user in vogons isn't bad at all.. I think there is an option to get it working...
  24. @awkduck thanks, holy s**t I just found this one, I never knew about it. sadly it have a fan but it's incredible how you can put AGP gpus on it. using the dock which is the size of a full desktop more or less haha
