Its sad that the only known way of obtaining WPA2 on Windows 98SE or ME is Odyessy Client...and that can only be obtained illegally now due to discontinuation of the software... We need to find more wireless utilities! Windows 2000 and earlier always had the mutual issue of no generic interface for managing wireless connections! (This is so sad xD) A universal wireless manager utility will solve this problem, but so far all of MSFN and Vogons seem to only know of 2 publicly available clients. Unless someone knows how to code Windows 9x well enough, we can't solve this common issue that's bad enough for many people to believe there is no WPA2 for Windows 9x.

Can anyone try to test if there's one with WPA2 for Windows 9x? If you go to the archive pages and download there; no version available for Windows 9x with WPA2 is downloadable

I've only managed to install the Kernel32 on my W2K laptop ONCE. I could never get it to install due to the requirement of Internet Explorer 6 Security Update...Even after installing the update, nothing changed... Yeah, the Kernel broke firefox. Prior to installing the kernel32, my laptop used uulrollup updates instead. After I installed Kernel32, firefox refused to open and gave an error message...

5/21 My friend's pc automatically updated to Windows 10, he says it crashes doing the simplest tasks like opening Windows... Microsoft, stop releasing this crap... This isn't relevant to Windows 10 (Windows 8 technically), but the first generation surface my family own had always crashed for the simplest tasks...like opening Excel. An example of Microsoft forcing bloated OSes on their devices.

Like how come there's no way to download?

I'm curious, I looked at older posts on MSFN and found a few mentions of the Unattended Boot Disc. Why was the once popular disc removed? It seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth when I tried googling it. Is it ever possible to bring it back?

These links won't work...but thanks they did on Internet Archive! I need to find Korean now...

I'm currently trying to search for Microsoft's official file that was required for Windows 95, 98, and ME in order to have any Asian language support. Microsoft had removed the file on their website, so does anyone know where copies are located? Also, certain characters like hearts, checkmark's, stars, etc would be useful as well! Thanks!

Are you running Windows 95 or 98/ME? Try installing a codec pack for Windows Media Player and have the video on the Windows hard drive! (If your computer has enough space on its hard drive) Often newer video players are "bloated" (Use up more installation memory, require more ram to open, etc!) older programs require less because they were made at a time when computers had lower specs! Obviously VLC player is NOT meant to run on a system with those specs! TL; DR Try using Windows Media player with a codec pack installed instead, it takes up less ram and cpu to load. And copy the video to your hard drive if possible, USB 1.0 is pretty slow...

Thank you so much! I've tried to search this issue but no one was mentioning an answer (I feel so dumb right now). You should add Vivaldi on the last versions of software for Windows Vista as well, I'm so darn disappointed Vivaldi doesn't support Vista!!! Its basically the same as 7!!! I can confirm that Cyberfox does work on Vista! (64bit AMD version)

Hello, I have another problem, my Windows Vista laptop is having a rather high rate of failure to open installers. This issue has prevented me from installing a lot of software like Adobe Reader, Cyberfox, Vivaldi browser, and the list goes on. Does anyone know a solution to this problem? I am running Vista x64...I would run Windows XP if possible, but its not supported, Vista itself isn't officially supported either but works anyway with Windows 7 drivers. I had to use Vista over 7 because 7 wouldn't properly function and was even SLOWER than Vista and its own display driver wouldn't properly work or something, preventing aero from working.

Didn't someone create a KernelEx 0.01 or something or XP??? What happened to that topic? Maybe with that chrome 50 and later could run?

Sadly not (At least the site says so, W2K SP4 and XP only) KernelEx maybe worth a shot, although KernelEx does not work well (If at all) with drivers... Be prepared to manually uninstall and delete in case. WPA2 has been always problematic in Windows 98, there are ways of obtaining WPA2 like Odyessy Client 3.1 to 4.52 (Discontinued Wireless Utility), Wireless Cards (Requires installation), Card buses (Be very careful which one you buy, some do not work with Windows 9x despite being adv'd doing so), Wireless USB adapters (But like mentioned, maybe cause issues, these same issues maybe present in card buses as well), or changing your router's settings if possible. I'm somewhat confident there must be some sort of Wireless Utility released back in 2001-2008 that contained WPA2 with 9x support. We just need to look for it... Biongo Wireless Utility (Archive.org version doesn't support wpa2) Macafee Wireless Security Utility (Archive.org version doesn't support wpa2)

Title says it all, is there any system utility capable of force uninstalling programs on Windows 9x due to the following -Corrupted file(s) which won't allow uninstallation to continue -Deleted folders which contained files required to uninstall a program -Program is incompatible with Windows 9x and refuses to uninstall itself

This issue is only found in Windows 98SE for me. Oddly Windows ME does not have this issue. Besides some bloat, I'm beginning to wonder why everyone hated ME so much; Came with generic usb drivers, more updated dll's (Better enough for someone to even make a program which allows "killer replacements" to 98SE), more hardware tolerant, even software tolerance occasionally, and if you need DOS there's a patch online. Is this issue likely linked to dll files or something? There must be something in WinME that prevents this error

Thanks, it says I have 35.5GB of free space. Yes, I created only a single C: drive. I guess I'm better off using Windows ME in this case (Which completely worked from the box, minus the drivers), Windows 98SE is not worth the extra hassle...

I know my computers...I was being stupid because it was late at night... Info: My hard drive is 40gb, my OS uses all the hard drive space possible if that helps. Both WinRAR and 7-Zip give me this error. You are correct about K-Meleon's size. I doubt my hard drive is close to being full (36360MB free according to System Properties, Virtual Memory. Let me know how to properly find how much a hard drive is full if possible!). Even after getting this error I was able to install other programs. I'm kinda new to file compressing. I know its making files smaller, but I'm unsure how to find the size its supposed to expand to though since I didn't compress it... Haven't used the laptop for a few days now and I guess I deleted the file or something. I instead have a Qupzilla Portable file. Its about 171.13MB if unpacked and its about 66.786kb compressed

Odd...I tried changing the temp folder to a new folder on a desktop (Testing) only to get the message 7-zip has preformed an illegal operation... I haven't tried changing the temp folder yet and the temp folder is the default size included with a Windows 98 installation

I reinstalled Windows 98SE on my Dell Latitude D600 and am facing just one issue. I was trying to extract K-Meleon 75.1 into a folder from 7-zip I get an error "Cannot Copy file: File System Error (1026). This error doesn't only happen with my K-Meleon file, but most files opened in 7-zip or WinRAR as well. Any fixes for this?

Its completely fine! You helped me plenty already! The only viable option for WPA2 is Odyssey Client 3.1 and later (Up to 4.52), using the wireless card inside the laptop. I wonder how Linksys managed to sell such a crappy product that doesn't even work. Haven't tested it on Windows 2000 or XP.

I really hope this OS dies off soon, its been nothing but problems for me. Its fussier than Windows Vista, currently.

It would just be easier to install all the official updates from the unofficial service pack for Windows 98SE or Windows ME (Depending on which one you're using). The all official updates includes this I believe, I tried it and could install KernelEx afterwards. Note: KernelEx is better for software NOT DRIVERS. I tried KernelEx on many W2K and XP only drivers on two separate laptops only to fail due to dependencies. If you cannot find a proper video driver for your computer, try extracting driverpacks then go to device manager and install. If that still doesn't work there's this (Note: Lacks acceleration and d3d, I think) http://www.navozhdeniye.narod.ru/vbe9x.htm Sadly there are no driver adapters like KernelEx for Windows 98SE...However, depending on your video card/graphics there maybe modded drivers out there to work with Windows 9x. 祝你好运！

Actually, I just realized; Mcafee Wireless Security or Boingo Wireless do support WPA2 on a later version. Look on their archive site for the Windows 2000/XP minimum version, it may contain WPA2

Can't edit due to rendering issues in my web browser... There is ThinkVantage Access Connections which has WPA2, compatible with W2K, but it probably won't work since the adapters maybe aren't supported
