sonyu

@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

sorry I only tried on 8 and xp great to see it's working

Well, I prefer to find something fanless first cause it's safety... but thanks ! @MrMateczko thanks @awkduck Yes, after I take a look, Pentium I MMX and Pentium II are the most common ones without a fan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compaq_Armada Then I find some Pentium II with a fan for the entire mobo, so I don't know if it makes lot of noise.. https://wiki.preterhuman.net/Compaq_Armada_7730MT https://wiki.preterhuman.net/Compaq_Armada_7710MT https://www.elektroda.pl/rtvforum/topic667027.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compaq_Armada 12.1" screens and S3 Aurora64V+ (2MB) video; but it's only 1024x768... and I don't think this gpu has 3D I'm not worried about usb cause I can add pcmcia ram can be upgraded too __________ this one looks promising too Armada 1750

If I can't find one with VIA Eden, best will be to search for a netbook since they have been released 2007-2009 So I need to check if I can find one compatible with one of these... maybe Asus EEE pc Intel(R) 855GM Chipset Intel(R) 852GM Chipset Intel(R) 855GME Chipset Intel(R) 852GME Chipset Intel(R) 910GL Express Chipset Intel(R) 915GV Express Chipset Intel(R) 945G Express Chipset Mobile Intel(R) 915GM Express Chipset Mobile Intel(R) 910GML Express Chipset Mobile Intel(R) 915GMS Express Chipset Intel(R) 915G Chipset Intel(R) 945GM Express Chipset - GMA 950 is one example

Thanks @awkduck so it isn't something about Himem.sys or system.ini patch, right? yes it looks more like a bios problem... I'll need to take a look at this one https://www.parkytowers.me.uk/thin/neoware/M100/ since it's CN700 and it's working here for desktop https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=64878 Anyway will be hard to find this one and also to check if it's fanless... Or I'll need to check for laptops with less power like Libretto 100CT... but I prefer to have something faster with 3D...

Can we know more info about the VIA chipset looking at these photos of the mobo: Linux lpsci result for almost the same hardware can be found here (HP Mini-Note PC 2133) : https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/HP/HP2133 And the owner tried Windows Millenium on it and posted the results here: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=62888 It could be due to excessive Video RAM memory used (maybe) cause he has 2GB of ram or it could be Windows ME missing some updates, I don't know... Strange cause he have problems even with VBEMP But maybe he has problems with a driver version, cause I read some drivers are more stable than other: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p=1081436#p1081436 Similar problem, different topic: I remember also having problems with nVidia cards, W98SE and VIA chipsets. It helped to NOT install an agp driver from 4in1 and Hyperions (I tried different versions) and install the nVidia driver itself. With the VIA agp driver either falling after the installation of nVidia Windows drivers, there was a black screen with or without a cursor, or a report of an incorrectly configured adapter popping up.

Well, I look for: - portable (laptop > tablet for what I'm looking for, but doesn't matter if it's a tablet or a convertible like this one) - fanless - 512 to 2gb ram - > 1024x768 why fanless? Cause once you try you don't want anything else with current SSD prices and NVME NGFF speeds I prefer to loss some cpu power and have less noise. Well the real reason was because the fan of an old laptop that I have some ago, made lot of noise, I know there are tons of fan sizes and forms but I prefer without it since I discovered these type of devices running fanless cpus back in 2014. In terms of maintenance, of course over time the fan can make more noise.. so this is an extra point; you don't need to worry about it. just the right quantity of thermal grease and all will be FUN without FAN . I know I can buy a weeCee or a thin client to have w98 and put a gpu on it, but I prefer to have a laptop so I can have my beloved w98 everywhere So the candidates are: VAIO X505 only sold in Japan if I'm not wrong, and this is compatible with Windows 98 - Also the PCG-505 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Vaio_505_series The first one looks amazing, will I need to say how much a "fruit" company was inspired by these to release it's "laptop air" ? If you take a look back in history, you'll see how amazing are all SONY designs. I love all of them. UMPCs, Picturebook C1, Vaio p11Z... hardware it's maybe a bit limited for some games, but it's amazing to have one of these small laptops with windows 98. Back in year 2000 I think these were more expensive than 2010s small laptops aka netbooks... ENJOY the most beautiful laptop ever made: https://m.eprice.com.tw/tech/talk/1184/2830/1 Really difficult to find , and still very expensive when you find it online these days: https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/sony-vaio-x505-subnotebook-so-nur-in-japan-zu-bekommen-ovp-/1042232314-278-3030

create closeoffice.bat with this: pause taskkill /F /IM winword.exe (a bit faster than taskmgr) (added pause to confirm close with a key, in case you opened it by error) even faster: add the batch to quick launch, now the office close button is on bottom left instead of top right of screen and you don't need to look for the desktop shortcut.

Thanks for your research @awkduck !! Yes, I know the standard of that era was 1024x768 (sometimes it can be forced to a higher resolution in w95 / w98 but I don't remember if it depends on the monitor connected or the gpu...) Anyway, I found the a lightweight tablet, I need to check if it have a fan Ports: It's a Pentium M I need to check also the 3D support What do you think? And... does it have WDDM drivers (just in case I want to dual boot windows 7,8,10 one day)? I have seen it have NVIDIA Geforce 4 Go 420 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_Compaq_tc1100 Not all versions come with nvidia gpu, I think this one has only "Intel 82852/82855 GM/GME "

Thanks for this info @awkduck

Does VBEMP enable VGA video output? @awkduck And why there is a Windows 98 CN896 driver here: http://download.viatech.com/ if you choose: 1 Microsoft Windows 2 Windows 98SE 3 Integrated Graphics 4 CN896 Direct link: https://d34vhvz8ul1ifj.cloudfront.net/Driver/cn896_win9x_15-56-68-06.zip or this one https://theretroweb.com/drivers/14 https://theretroweb.com/uploads/drivers/via-hyperionpro-v524a-631a049fe8b61078724933.zip And I have seen users talking about CN896 compatibility here: I'm looking for a fanless Windows 98 laptop with at least 1000MHz and 512mb RAM

I'm looking for a fanless Windows 98 laptop 15,4", 14", or 13" screen will be great. Just found this one: Wyse X90L and X90Le https://www.ruggedpcreview.com/3_notebooks_wyse_x90l.html hardware info can be found also here: VIA C7-M ULV 1200 MHz VN896 https://www.parkytowers.me.uk/thin/wyse/Xn0L/xn0l.shtml Will I be able to get Windows 98 running with the VGA / DVI video output working or there are no gpu and chipset drivers ? CN896 (can be found here http://download.viatech.com/DriverDownloadSubmitAjaxSvl ) Thanks

Yes, I was looking for the first version or an earlier version (Windows 98 compatible version) of the Intel Embedded Graphics Drivers. iegd.inf | ssigd.inf This is just an example on Intel pdf...

Yes, just seen. Thanks and sorry! (I hope @win32 make an x86 version too)

Can you please share more info about this? Thanks Edit: Sorry. I just read the post and realized you're talking about Vista x64,

I prefer xp,vista,7,8.0&8.1 too, I hope we will find an alternative and be able to run decent browser

so, are we going to a world full of gui lag and telemetry without brakes? well in 2-3 years this thread won't matter as much as it does now. the reason? modern cpus will be capable of running 10 and 11 at least as fast as 7 & 8 runs on NT6 & wddm capable hardware

Ok, I deleted part of the text since I don't know if it's allowed. _ This seems interesting: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/enhanced-h264ify/omkfmpieigblcllmkgbflkikinpkodlk?page=1&hl=en&itemlang=en Choose what video codec YouTube should play for you enhanced-h264ify is a fork of well-known h264ify extension for Firefox/Chrome which blocks VP8/VP9 codecs on YouTube, so that you can use H264 only. This may be useful because there are lots of devices on the market which support H264 hardware decoding and do not support VP8/VP9. This extension has new features such as manual blocking of H264, VP8, VP9, AV1 codecs and 60fps video. By default it blocks everything but H264 and 60fps video. It works only on YouTube. GitHub: https://github.com/alextrv/enhanced-h264ify but it's only for YT and for old hardware I guess.

Interesting, I compared chrome://gpu of these browsers & versions all running on windows 8: IRON 104: Video Decode: Software only. Hardware acceleration disabled CHROMIUM 112 (bp): Video Decode: Hardware accelerated GOOGLE CHROME 107: Video Decode: Hardware accelerated 1440p60 it's smoother on chromium 112 - I have also found these extensions when I tried to get hardware acceleration on IRON 104 first: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/h264ify/aleakchihdccplidncghkekgioiakgal/related https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/magic-actions-for-youtube/abjcfabbhafbcdfjoecdgepllmpfceif/related _ Ok, I made some more tests after I read about how to enable Chrome hardware acceleration [DELETED] (I don't know if I can post this) Long story short, I enabled acceleration on Iron playing with [DELETED] Anyway, I not discovered the wheel (the wheel was discovered by blackwingcat ), so comparing this to chrome on w10, I want to have the best video playback experience on w8, at least as smooth as in VLC, so I'll continue investigating... I knows this -maybe- doesn't bring anything new to the table, It's more like a personal appreciation about how accelerated video playback works these days on different chrome versions and windows oses... but I remember an old HP laptop from 2009 in which I installed 10 1511 10586 (wddm 2.0) and youtube on iron worked better than in Windows 8. This is what always kept me curious trying to understand...

No, it seems I was infected before I downloaded the modified chrome. And I'm the only one infected, you can continue all with the topic, it's just a coincidence I noticed it after I download chrome that's why I posted about the possible virus here. The chrome I downloaded was clean. It doesn't have any virus. Sorry. (And my files are clean since yesterday cause I was infected with the same virus 2-3 years ago and now I know a bit more about it) So: NO VIRUS HERE. JUST a personal infection in my computer and not realted to this topic. _ Keep the good work @D.Draker - And one interesting thing about ported chromium: 1080/720 Youtube videoplay in Chrome ver. 111/112 running on Windows 8.0/8.1 removes Intel iGPU micro stuttering. (With, of course, a gpu capable of playing 720/1080.) I noticed this cause it's the only thing I miss from w10 running chrome/ium. I don't know if somebody else noticed the same or if it's related to a concrete system file......

Thanks to you all Since I can't find https://github.com/jack51706/byte_stinker compiled, I searched all partitions for .exes containing TjProjMain and I deleted lot of downloads. If anybody can compile this and send me it by dm, will be also useful for you all since I don't know if there is another option to recover .exes infected by this virus even Malwarebytes doesn't recover your .exes I think how to recover the infected .exe files using stinker.exe: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/66956355/125113641-9666ed00-e0f1-11eb-920d-30e6d759d478.mp4

I downloaded the files 2 days ago, now the links are removed, I know. But I'm not sure if I was infected by the files on that thread cause I just found a bunch of .exe files with Creation date = 08/02/2023 Anyway the first time I was infected with this was 3 years ago, but now I'm faster searching for the common infected files with "SwiftSearch" utility Please, if somebody can recommend me a tool to detect the infected files I'll be very grateful.

is there someone who has downloaded the files in this topic that is now infected with the TJPROJMAIN.EXE virus ???????????????????? I need to confirm this since I found a virus on one of my computers today and the only .exe I downloaded recently was the chromium from the link. It's easy to check if you're infected https://github.com/skidaim/TJprojMain-explorer.exe-remover (I'm not saying the .exe from the link was infected but I found this today and I don't think I downloaded other application recently. ) I have had this virus in the past when it wasn't known, if you have "byte_stinker" please send me a private message (I don't know if it can be posted here) but I really need HELP right now. I know this can be offtopic.. but please if you know an alternative method to remove this virus, please tell me how. Thanks

Yes, thanks Youtube works perfect. Better than chrome 104, cause I always have stuttering on HD and 1080 videos on Windows 8/8.1, (tried different hardware and this doesn't happen on w10) so now I can play youtube without stutterings (I don't know if it's the chrome version or the dll...), amazing! But on all other sites where I tried online Embedded video players, the video playback don't work, I don't know why. This is an example of an error I get on one site: JW Player Error 202630. For more information see https://developer.jwplayer.com/jw-player/docs/developer-guide/api/errors-reference#202630

Please check the link for 112 in first post, it's linked to 111 version too, only working with copy-paste link text.
