How to install Windows 98SE or ME on Dell Latitude D600
FantasyAcquiesce replied to FantasyAcquiesce's topic in Windows 9x/ME
Same issue here, not sure how to solve it though...Might need to ask on multiple forum sites as well. -
I don't have any useful information, but... do you know if there's a way to include support for Skylake CPU's and later pc's that refuse to accept a Windows 8.1 and earlier CD?

Hello! After being dissatisfied with Windows 9x on my Dell Latitude D600 (I love Windows 9x, but its instability bugs me >.<) I'm hoping to try NT 4.0 instead. The drivers were a billion times easier to find for NT 4.0 than Windows 98SE/ME So far I'm at the formatting part. I'm wondering if there's any way I could get NT 4.0 to go beyond a "8gb" partition. When I tried to make a partition that's 8000MB, NT forced it to be 8001MB and refuses to let me install on that partition because its "too large".

How to install Windows 98SE or ME on Dell Latitude D600

I'm just double checking: Has anyone that attempted to play games requiring real dos mode experience issues? -
How to install Windows 98SE or ME on Dell Latitude D600
FantasyAcquiesce replied to FantasyAcquiesce's topic in Windows 9x/ME
Thank you for the information! Added these links to the description! Does anyone have a VM to test this on? http://drivers.brothersoft.com/modem/conexant/ If this downloader is legitimate, this maybe the driver for the modem! It says it supports ME! I'm unsure how many different API's ME has from 98 (Heck, someone mentioned only some 98 drivers work on me, but it didn't seem that way in my experience) or if that has anything to do with compatibility issues. -
Samsung Galaxy i747 Wifi forced off???
FantasyAcquiesce replied to FantasyAcquiesce's topic in Android
Welp, I found help on another site. If anyone's Samsung Galaxy S3's wifi and audio stop working because of upgrading the bootlauncher, go here http://androidforums.com/threads/samsung-galaxy-s3-i747-wifi-wont-turn-on.1085760/#post-7420685 -
Hi MSFN! I messed around with my old, slow phone (with no warranty left) by rooting it with iRoot, then proceeded to remove system applications that bloated up the phone, then installed clockworkmod recovery. After countless failed attempts of trying to upgrade to Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, I upgraded the bootloader then I noticed the wifi won't turn on. I tried resetting the phone, but the removed system apps and wifi did not come back. I tried airplane mode, but the phone got stuck on it, with the icon still appearing after reboot while the options said it was off. I tried using a backup from when the wifi did work with no luck, I kept getting pestered with a message that a certain process wasn't working. After fighting with the phone I tried going into odin download mode then flashed the i747 stock rom. This fixed the errors, but now my phone is missing system apps and the wifi still REFUSES to turn on. Any tips?

How to install Windows 98SE or ME on Dell Latitude D600
FantasyAcquiesce replied to FantasyAcquiesce's topic in Windows 9x/ME
To fix the CD or DVD Drive, go to system, resources, uncheck the default configuration, then click the very bottom option of the resources, go down one so it doesn't conflict, then the cd or dvd drive should work and be recognized by Windows after installing software for the Storage Controller (However, it still has an explanation mark afterwards) -
Anyone still using Windows XP as main OS?
FantasyAcquiesce replied to Stefan43's topic in Windows XP
Windows XP is the latest version of Windows that works quickly on my laptop with a Intel Core Duo 2 T7200. Anything newer makes the laptop rather slow, while its still usable Windows 7 w/ all updates caused a very high framerate drop on the game of Minecraft compared to XP considering the laptop isn't even meant for that. Plus I highly doubt Windows XP support in general will evaporate even half as fast as Windows 2000 and 9x.- 78 replies

Not sure if this counts (more like hardware): A mouse I bought at daiso japan claimed to be compatible with ME, 2000, XP, Vista, and 7. I actually tested this and it did work on my ME, yet strangely would not work on 98SE on the same laptop unless I plugged in my ancient usb hub with built in drivers first than the mouse, but the mouse itself couldn't be plugged in alone. Windows ME in general has better plug n' play support than 98SE quite a bit even after installing the universal usb driver for 98SE (Not sure about the instability or not since I found both equally as unstable). While they both suffer from the same issue of keeping anything in the usb port during boot that causes hanging, ME is superior with the price being no DOS (although it can be patched).

A few sketches I made

Finally figured out the jagged lines were due to VERY low dpi... Do you have any idea how to change dpi in Manga Studio in a drawing? -
Sounds like a variety of issues I had with XP on an unsupported laptop that could only run 7 or later and forced bad specs on the user. For your WIFI issue, try this Not sure why it does this: WPA2 doesn't seem to work on unsupported XP laptops despite the wireless adapter being compatible with XP, odd enough the WPA2 works on Vista and later. You need to install Biongo Wireless in order to re-enable WPA2

I feel your pain :l I like Windows 7, but I actually like Vista more than it. Windows 7 is straight up bloated compared to XP (Sometimes Vista!). Unfortunately sometimes we're forced to use it because of programs companies forcefully block XP :l My school used really bad tiny computers which were pretty slow even with XP, once they "upgraded" to 7 all the computers could barely be used for typing.

Not really sure about drivers themselves, but you could always try Snappy Driver Installer or Driverpack Solution, or maybe even Freecd.cn-easy driver as a last resort. (All of these are free automatic offline driver installers! Helped me a lot! Can be run from a flash drive!!!) Not sure if this is relevant: My Dell Latitude D600's official audio driver would not properly install, neither would the official video driver. Sometimes Snappy Driver Installer worked, but usually the drivers would fail to install oddly. I tried " free cn easy driver v3.0", a discontinued offline driver installer and it worked! There might be a good chance one of these could help your issue if official drivers are giving you an issue.

I believe Waterfox supports XP x64 Its a branched off version of Firefox. When the main version of a web browser doesn't support XP, usually its best to look for branched off versions if you hope for legacy support.

Has anyone tried Windows 10 IoT Core?

Title says it all, looking for something decent and not overrated (only to be disappointingly mediocre)

Hope this topic helps; how to obtain WPA2 if your wireless device's utility doesn't include it (The wireless device must have G). Also includes some alternative wireless devices other users of MSFN use.

Title says it all; looking for a docking station for a laptop which is capable of replacing the video/graphic card to improve performance in a laptop (Capable of replacing a PCI or whatever its called card, any size is fine with me) I've heard of the Advanced Docking Station which would work with my Thinkpad R60 and improve performance if I replace the Half Size Express Card.

A few sketches I made
FantasyAcquiesce replied to FantasyAcquiesce's topic in Graphics and Designing Art
I used Manga Studio as well, including the coloring. I currently play around with Kirita a little bit to color (Although I have little to no knowledge of the program). With Manga Studio I make the outline on multiple separate layers for hair, body, clothes, hands, face, eyes, etc (Outlining a sketch I scanned) then use Manga Studio's line smoothing feature if it looks too sharp. Used a friend's computer for Photoshop CS6 to convert a few of these into renders. Considering playing around with SAI paint if its any better. My only issue is getting the illustrations not to be sharp on the outline as if I used MS paint (Stabilization doesn't seem to help me much on Manga Studio) I'm a noob at coloring (probably outlining as well) Attempt of coloring with Kirita (I don't like this one >.< I had to smudge the lines because the anti-aliasing caused whiteness in between the line and color) If I continue this one, I'm probably gonna add more color blending to make it more lively looking Another WIP made in Manga Studio She's saying "I love you" in Korean -
Last Versions of Software for Windows 2000
FantasyAcquiesce replied to thirteenth's topic in Windows 2000/2003/NT4
Has anyone found a location to download dooble 1.4.0? That is probably the best web browser for vanilla w2k out there... -
Over the summer I never really went outside, so I decided to doodle all day. I'm hoping to color in the last two, but I keep getting weird white lines half the time.

I Want To Run XP On An HP 15-G010DX - Is It Possible?
FantasyAcquiesce replied to cc333's topic in Windows XP
I'm often lazy when it comes to installing drivers; try this offline driverpack if you can't seem to find them (You can run it from a flash drive!!!) https://sdi-tool.org/. Although, since the laptop isn't officially supporting XP, be very careful if you do use it. In my experience a few incompatible drivers will say "entry point not found", once my XP (Maybe it was 2000, I can't remember) installation kept giving me a blue screen after booting due to drivers. -
I experimented with my Dell Latitude D600 with running Windows 98SE and ME, both have encountered a bunch of issues I haven't seen on Windows 2000 or later versions of Windows. According to a scan (I plan to check it later) my hard drive could have a bad sector. Windows ME A lot of applications tend to act weird (Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing 8 crashed upon downloading via disc, I Spy Fantasy installs yet the actual in game clicking to find objects doesn't work despite working the rest of the time) Tends to "lag" a lot (Even XP didn't lag nearly as much) Windows 98SE USB mouse won't work even after installing the universal usb driver, mysteriously it magically works if I plug in my usb hub made for 98 then my mouse Flash drives don't work after installing the usb driver Way fussier than ME when it comes to installing drivers in general 7-Zip gives me errors if I highlight then drag, yet works if I press the extract button then have it go to another When I install new drivers it tells me it needs to find it in a location after boot, using the unofficial service pack for all official updates usually fixes these issues Most DOS games don't even seem to work? Since my laptop lacks a mouse ps/2 port, the game Oregon Trail Deluxe refuses to work because I lack a mouse (Haven't tried DOS much though) Won't shut off unless I press the off button Both Tends to be unstable in general Should I keep Windows 98SE (or ME) on my laptop or are there any solutions to these issues? Should I ditch 9x for 2000, later NT versions?
