My charger does indeed work (tested it on another dell, my e4310 model) and is actually a genuine dell. I disassembled the laptop to look inside and see the jack. I've read there might be pins which determine if the charger is genuine? Could I in theory manually have the pin moved to ensure the laptop always reads an ac adapter as genuine? Haven't doen research yet, at school atm EDIT: Searched a bit What I've found Modding the bios (although there doesn't seem to be any modded bios) Opening up the charger's power supply (not recommended) Link you gave me I just learned Dell is pretty lousy...

My Dell Latitude D600 suddenly decided my Dell AC Adapter isn't genuine despite being used for nearly a year now, like the title says my battery cannot be charged because the system claims its not genuine and performance is throttled because of it. Are there any fixes to this?

I don't believe so. Its been happening to me all year around.

I've been experiencing this stupid issue on Windows 10 as well. My computer using wireless loses its connections for moments daily, its annoying because it NEVER happened on my unstable Windows 98 (or any other operating system, including Linux) installations...

I still need to add programming languages, open source, wares, etc.

Title says it all. My Dell Latitude D600 laptop is refusing to show battery level despite not even being on an AC Adapter. I went to the Power Option Properties in the control panel, but still no change. Am I missing a dll file? Once I had this issue installing XP on the same computer, but fixed it by downloading the missing dll file and placing it in the right system folder. Edit: This this ACPI that's missing? Edit 2: Googled a bit and found lack of ACPI is the issue. Enable/Disable ACPI Enabling/ Disabling - The following instructions will allow enable ACPI with Windows 98: To enable ACPI after Windows 98 is installed, run Regedit and go to the following key in the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Detect Create a new DWORD value called "ACPIOption" and set it equal to 1. In Control Panel, run Add New Hardware and choose hardware detection. ACPI should be detected and installed. After the system is rebooted, all ACPI-enumerated devices will be set up again. You don't need to insert your cd, just direct the driver finder to C:/win98

Once I tried running a virus on Windows 2000 SP4 (I think I also had BWC's kernel32 extension) and every single virus failed xD Not ONE out of 60+ viruses it attempted to install worked! Missing dependencies and windows version check was too much for it Most virus writers want to do as little work as possible, they're not gonna bother with legacy systems

Just hopping on. Windows 10 gave me another issue of its start menu turning completely black if you tried to search anything. Found a workaround; install classic shell.

Just dropping by Man XP is so much more efficient with my T7200 processor than 7 could ever be. My 9 cell battery has ALMOST 4 hours with xp, the battery life is about an hour shorter on 7. My only issue is watching html videos on kissanime, but I haven't checked the thread addressing this yet.

This I think I may can confirm Windows 98SE doesn't crash with more than 512MB of ram on physical hardware (Dell Latitude D600 has 1gb ram) although I wouldn't recommend going over 512mb, it might be the reason 98SE and ME are so unstable on the laptop...

I quickly determined it by looking here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dell_Latitude#D-Family Ah, it looks like I made another mistake (darn it, I'm on a streak of mistakes). Didn't check closely enough if the D410's video driver was 98 friendly... Actually there are drivers for the 900 series (910, 915, and 925) if I'm not mistaking https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/14713/Chipset-INF-Update-Utility-for-848-865-875-910-915-925-Chipset-Based-Intel-Desktop-Boards Correct me if I'm wrong

When I get the chance I will, Windows 98SE loves giving me problems all the time and ruined my dualboot because I reinstalled 98...need to fix it atm

My dual boot Windows XP installation has been giving me issues despite being supported...then again my laptop has been giving me issues in general I got the message Windows cannot install the battery, fixed it by placing a file in system32. Now I've installed the drivers for the system (Mine has a broadcom wireless adapter, the Dell True Mobile drivers won't work...). I used the program Snappy Driver Installer (SDI) and only one driver is giving me an issue; broadcom 802.11 multiband network adapter. When I try to restart or turn off the system, I get a BSOD; "STOP: 0x0000007E (0xC0000005, 0xF15717CC, 0xF7C6EB58, 0xF7C6E854)" "bcmwl5.sys - Address F15717cc base at F155F000, DateStamp 4ea8c598" Of course I deleted the bcmwl5.sys file to test if anything changed. My system was free of this error, but then I cannot connect to wifi.

Okay, I might need to reinstall Windows 9x or something because another user reported the program worked for him. This is what he's reported: The final thing we need to get working on the D600 for 9x is DOS sound!

Now I just need to figure out where the dll's are located in Windows 98...I have no idea how to really code so I'm going to go through a bit of trial and error with making stubs. This is gonna be a lot of fun >.< (If I can even get started and figure out where the important things are) What's MODEXP? Could you share it with me?

I can't seem to figure out what's going on >.< I installed everything needed and all the main system updates via unofficial service pack

I'm very close to getting the sound work on DOS!!! I've just ran into one issue >_< Official page for VDMSound (Project is long dead, it was originally a program to make modern sound hardware emulate DOS hardware to allow sound! Ported to 9x due to many sound blasters not being dos compatible) http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=900 The required VCREDIST.EXE (linked it here because the links on the original post are broken!)

I'm hoping to contribute expanding KernelEx one day (But I honestly have no idea how to code). I downloaded the Hex editor and Dependency Walker linked on Jumper's kernelex project page. So far I'm figuring out how to use this thing, could I remove parts of the code that prevent the program from installing on Windows 9x? Doing a little experiment with NanoBrowser and Sleipnir 3, so far these two are the only web browsers I've found without any missing dependencies that give errors in the program. I'm extremely new to this hex editor stuff and have no idea what grey means. Both refuse to open because of my windows version. I also downloaded Microsoft's SDK for Win 9x as well (Never really used C++ before...)

I checked now, the instructions you originally gave me from microsoft works! Turns out I was using the wrong commands I wanna thank whoever contributed to this "project" The unsupported Dell Latitude D600 models can now unofficially run Windows 98 properly! This topic can also help those trying to get older models to work as well. The D Latitude Series' compatibility with is hit and miss with choosing models I can confirm Windows 98SE is indeed possible on the D505 http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=15907 Other compatible models include (According to here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dell_Latitude#D-Family) D400 -Intel 855PM Chipset, Intel UMA integrated (Intel(R) Extreme Graphics 2 driver), Broadcom 5705M Gigabit Integrated Controller, Dell 1450 miniPCI Wireless Card (Broadcom BCM4306 802.11 a/b/g Wireless Card), AC'97 (Soft Audio) D410 - Intel 915GM Chipset D500 - Intel 855GM Chipset D505 - Intel 855GME Chipset *D610 - Intel 915PM Chipset model only! ATI Mobility Radeon X300! Broadcom 57xx Gigabit Controller, Intel PRO 2200 (802.11b/g) or Intel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG or Dell 1370, SigmaTel C-Major STAC 9751 (AC97) (Same audio as the Dell 600 I believe!) D800 - Intel 855PM, nVidia GeForce4 440 Go, SIGMATEL STAC 9750 (The driver used on the D600 and D610 may or may not work!) D810 - Intel 915PM, Nvidia FX1400 Models require the unofficial video card, other models come with ATI discrete X300 video card (supported on 98!), Sigmatel STAC 975X (The same audio driver for the D600 probably works), wireless can be a Dell Wireless Card 1350/1450/1370/1470 (A.K.A Broadcom) or Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG, same ethernet as D600! Incompatible D510 - Intel 915GM Chipset, Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900...(No Windows 9x drivers for that...)

I found these two that claim to hold support for Windows 98, but these are untested! The latitude models with the 945 chipset are not included 945PM http://download.cnet.com/Intel-Chipset-945PM-8-1-1-1010-zip/3000-2122_4-162336.html 945GM http://download.cnet.com/Mobile-Intel-R-945GM-Express-Chipset-Family-Display-Drivers/3000-2098_4-98144.htl One last thing I need to solve: Getting sound to work on DOS!

I've tried it myself and I find it mediocre personally. It will get the job done and all, but if you browse this website there will be glitches everywhere. I'm sure its a lot better than any browser for Windows 95 though I appreciate the fact that someone on the internet is making an effort to improve web browsing on legacy OSes!

I'm really interested in joining this project But, I'm kinda a newbie and know very little coding... Do I need to know a lot to contribute to this?

I think I got good news for you! I've managed to find a version of QTWeb NT 4.0 compatible! https://code.google.com/archive/p/qtweb/issues/182#c2

I actually had more issues with Windows 10 than Windows Vista or ME :l Even ME had better USB support than 10, had to reset once or twice because usb stopped working.

I tested this, now DOS works HOWEVER I get an error "File not found" "Invalid drive specification" when directly launching a dos program that automatically restarts 98se into dos mode. When I try going into another dictionary, I get the message "Bad command or file name" when I tried c:\>dir /GAMES (Folder) I simply get the message "Invalid switch -/games. I've tried doing / and \, nothing seems to be letting me enter a folder even though I can use the "dir /ad" command!
