For my Multimedia Vocabulary CD, would it be illegal if I ripped and put a download link? Pro One is COMPLETELY DEAD. No manufacturing and company left.

So where do we start? Maybe some source code of a webkit browser? A Win98 compatible coding application? Compiler (updated headers and libs)? We need to work on certificate and protocol issues mainly.

If possible, I also need help figuring out how to modify the registry to install this heart-warming screensaver! https://www.screensaversplanet.com/screensavers/night-before-christmas-3d-1235/#reviews Windows ME says the reg file isn't a proper registry file! How can I modify it to work? The main issue is the program thinks anyone using it needs to install flash player 7 regardless if they have it or not. The reg fix listed on the site allows the program to work on windows 8 and 10 (I think it probably works on XP to 7 as well). Reg fix (Needs to be tweeked to work on 9x!) Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000}] @="Adobe Flash Plug-in" "IsInstalled"=hex:01,00,00,00 "Version"="7,0,19,0" What do I need to change? When I open the text file in ME, fonts are missing (I tried changing to multiple fonts)

This maybe only compatible with Mac OSX, Linux, OS/2... Thank you so much DOSFreak! A possible fix for browsing web sites in browsers as old as Netscape 4 maybe possible!!! https://virtuallyfun.com/2014/03/11/web-rendering-proxy-update/ https://github.com/tenox7/wrp Found another similar concept - it has a Windows port!

I tried that but no fix unfortunately. I don't know if I can even find support because the software is so ancient. This is the exact software I'm talking about https://www.amazon.com/Pro-One-Multimedia-Vocabulary/dp/B00066DDIO

Keep it comin'! I love 9x software! Thanks, maybe I could try modding the installer to allow 9x >:3

My bought obscure PC software from the mid-late 90's created by a company called "Pro One". So far their Algebra, Geometry, Calculus, and Grammar software works fine on my Windows Millennium installation but their Vocabulary software refuses to work. Oddly when the program first created a shortcut it claimed the program was unavailable. Turned out the program made an error directing itself to the F:/ drive (USB drive) instead of the E:/ drive (CD Rom). Upon fixing that part, the program gives me an overflow error. Got any ideas?

Please share this! I'm sure everybody would love this! I'm 1000% confident implanting W2K API and later is doable on 9x; Microsoft previously implanted unicode for 9x, third parties developed NTFS for 9x, ram patches for +512mb, implanting WPA2, people of this community creating wrappers for 7-Zip, SumatraPDF, rloew creating a slipstream-able 9x program, and the KernelEx project! While we could in theory backport anything onto 9x the problem is who's willing to put the time and effort into it? Or better yet has the proper skills to do so? Not many know how 9x works under the hood besides rloew. Might as well list all your ideas of backporting a modern browser somewhere, maybe someone can try them ^_^ We also need a good list of programming software on 9x along with driver development programs. Maybe while I'm at it, I could create an updated list of working software on 9x.

Which version? Can I have them? The easiest way I know in theory to backport a web browser is obtaining QT 4.3.3 (last Win98 tested version) and MingGW (I have both linked if anyone ever needs those) then modifying an older version of Arora browser, QT Demo Browser, maybe even Qupzilla or QTWeb (although I couldn't figure out how to open it in QT after downloading version 1.0.0's source code). Using one of the previous mentioned browsers is probably the easiest way to obtain a Webkit browser. Making a modern web browser for 98/ME (I have no idea if it would even work on 95 or if there is even a way) would probably require backporting newer versions of QTWebkit. SSE2 isn't a problem with me because my laptop is barely new enough to include it (LOL). But the biggest problem would be protocols and certificates preventing pages from even entering. I myself can't do this task because I can't even figure out how to open Qupzilla 1.0.0 in QT 4.3.3 >o< (Apparently there's no UI designer file!) and my little knowledge of Java probably wouldn't help much...

I'm hoping to stay on Vanilla ME because kernelex probably contributed to the dozens of botched 98SE installs on my D600 which led to me either reinstalling or finding another OS. Surprisingly ACPI fixes a bunch of issues I encountered on 9x such as keeping a usb plugged in during boot causing hangs and yes, ACPI does give a battery meter however it's not sufficient to keep me vigilant of battery life (Dell Latitude D600's don't have a super long battery life). Thanks for the tips! I'm gonna try a few of these!

Topic is not about upgrading, it's about finding utilities for 9x!

My system is a Dell Latitude D600- even slow on an XP installation. My only other viable option is W2k (without bwc's kernelex).

I'm somewhat confident there's a web browser out there with Win98 compatibility. Has anyone tried searching the internet in other languages such as Chinese? A while back internet explorer 6 was China's top browser. I was desperate enough to install the shady 360 browser, but that failed. There's countless browsers that are not well known such as blackhawk (although it's a rebrand of chrome).

Does anyone know where I could find... A third party battery meter - something similar to this. The program does not properly work on ME after changing a setting. Screen brightness adjuster and maybe color as well - Windows ME lacks one A decent office utility (besides Openoffice, something more modern) Modern PDF reader Third party screensavers - Just for fun; I wanna show to my peers that Windows ME is never truly obsolete Thank you!

Isn't there a way to spoof the browser into fooling the webpage thinking the browser is a phone? I don't like the thought of viewing web pages using the mobile version but it maybe the only choice now.

Have you tried downloading larger files ~100mb? The wireless seems to time out after a while.

PROBLEMCHYLD, please reply when you get the chance. When using your broadcom driver to download anything on Windows 9x the card often times out or breaks while downloading, thus making larger file uploads/downloads impossible.

So...has anyone found a good pdf reader? I found Filezilla's Free PDF Reader, but it costs money to view the whole pdfs T_T I wanna read my bible!

Anyone know of a modern PDF reader? Windows 9x is surely good for reading ebooks.

Can you link me to MinGW 3.2.0? I can't seem to find an older version.

I apparently found a download to version 1.03 of Sysinternals' NTFS Driver for Windows 98! http://loadion.com/en/NTFS-for-Windows-98-1.03_69715.html Found version 2.0, BUT it's in Spanish... https://ntfs-for-windows-98.softonic.com/descargar Random video I found claiming to have NTFS for Windows 98 (It's in Japanese and requires a niconico account to view) http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm26911273

Malwarebytes still works on XP. Although it's super bloated; my T7200 laptop lost a lot of CPU and ram using it! As antiviruses become harder to obtain on XP, luckily it's the same with malware. That's my favorite part of Windows 9x :3 Once I tried installing shady offers on my XP installation, the malware wouldn't even launch because I was missing updates!

I'm sure people have their reasons NT only software (not that I know of any)? Maybe their hardware is extremely old and W2K is a bit too much. Maybe the drivers fundamentally written for NT 4.0 may not work on W2K.

I found a media player that apparently still supports Windows 9x http://www.vuplayer.com/vuplayer.php It claims to support mp3. Someone needs to create a new topic for concurrent Windows 9x software or change the thread OP. The thread's creator isn't actively updating the first page, so there's plenty of software out that is not listed. Also, does anyone know of a player that still supports 9x or a mp3 codec? I swear, Windows 9x has so much abandonware that the developers have completely abandoned due to closing down such as Multimedia Calculus.
