  1. What about Paracelsus for serpent.

    "Paracelsus (1493—1541), was an Austrian physician, born Phillip Von Hohenheim. On accident, he discovered he could speak to snakes. He had no explanation for the phenomenon and made no attempt to document its simple existence.

    In the 1990's, the now-famous Harry Potter discovered that he was a Parselmouth"

    Mail newsgroups doesn't need its own name, it can be added after the same name roytam1 decides for UXP..

    So if he decided on Sea Wolf for UXP

    Than it would be Sea Wolf Mail & Newsgroups

    Mozilla did the same exact thing.

    They called it Mozilla Mail & Newsgroups. 

    Perfectly acceptable. 

     

    BTW The Sea Wolves is also an excellent movie.

  2. Hi everyone. real talk here who doesn't like wolves? or Wolfs

    The best new moon name is Wolf Moon as This full moon occurs in January—a time when tribes often heard wolves howling outside their villages. 

    The best serpent name is Cerberus  as in  3 headed wolf , a serpent for a tail, and snakes protruding from multiple parts of his body.

    The best UXP name is Sea Wolf as in the boat. giving hints, to sea monkey and Navigator.

     

    Ty all.  Make is so.

     

  3. that is strange.  I googled 0xc000001d and several results listed as a SSE error, even though you say the browser will run with MMX only.

    AMD always has these bugs for years, They even have incomplete SSE instructions on CPUs as late as Athlon 64 X2. as seen here http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/error_message/en350007

    It probably has to do with incomplete SIMD implementation on the K6, or that Mendocino may have early incomplete SSE SIMD instructions but I can't find anything official about that.  It's hard to know I don't think its worth fixing.

    AMD K8 Slot A, Pentium II, P55C, K6, Pentium Pro and Xeon II are pretty much the only CPUs that benefit from MMX only build and all of those users combined is less users than Pentium III users who have SSE. To be totally honest PIII is long in the tooth as it is and even with DUAL socket pentium III 1000 Browsing the web is slow and you still can't watch youtube cuz its slow

  4. He did a lot for the 9x community, It's a huge loss.  I heard about this little over a week ago but I never bought anything from him or did I know him more or less than other people around here.

    Ya we don't know anything about his estate, or if anyone inherited his intellectual property.  We don't know if his programs and drivers will continue to be available or become abandonware, with no way to acquire going forward.

    Id say it's probably better to give it some time and see if his work is taken over by new management.  if not than everything he did will be lost forever, unless its archived for the public.

    I did archive his entire website last weekend in the wayback machine, but most of his stuff wasn't free.

  5. ya, I install 98lite chubby after that what I do is uninstall Internet explorer.  That way you still have pointers and support for some applications that use IE help engine, and IE rendering engine. 

    I been successful in just installing the IE 5.5 sp2 core files from SP3 not the SP itself on top of uninstall IE with chubby and gotten applications that complain about needing IE 5.5 Installed. 

     

    There is a procedure tho to run chubby + no IE + 5.5 sp2 core files + the updated Explorer/2000 theme + Rp9.  This method is the best I found.  But you can run that without installing the 100s of patches.

  6. Performance only patches

    Like many others out there who only want to run programs on a private lan and do not care about security fixes on a unsecurable operating system.

    Thats the key argument here un-securable.  I've tried 98se SP3 before SP2 98se2me.  All of those just make the computer slow. 

    At this point in time 2019 I do not care about having every fix known to man for 98se,

    1st I only run 98se on Retro hardware that is already slow, like pentiums 2s and 3s maybe even less.

    2nd I only play games or toy with old programs.

    3rd only network connectivity I use is local but I do care about fast lan connectivity.

    I have some Idea of just basic patches like TCP 1.4. IOS.sys, larger capacity drives etc but what I want some advices on is a list of only fixes that increase performance, and stability.  probably under 20 hotfixes or less for 98se.

    Maybe a clear guild for patches for network only, HDD, ram, cpu, video, sound etc and stability for just runing games etc that increase speed and stability.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

  7.  

    Ever since Lenovo bought IBM the notebooks have just got worst.  T43 was the last real thinkpad.  And IBM always had good docking stations like selectadoc II and  III, I have one of those for my 770x and it has 3 PCI and ISA slots and my T43 I have a Dock II that has a PCI slot.  Can just install a sound blaster in those and game like a champ,  I got a voodoo 2 and a AWE64 gold in my 770x laptop.

  8. I'm so confused.  What are you trying to capture video from a webcam?  Or from like a TV card or frame grabber?

    Free There is windows media encoder 7.1 "wmencoder71.exe" http://www.mediafire.com/file/v1x8y98cshp236j/wmencoder71.exe/file

    Free Windows Media Tools 4.1 "wmtools.exe" http://www.mediafire.com/file/chc4wag44byd658/wmtools

    Not Free Nero Vision Express 6  it basically was free and came free for billions of people if they bought a CD/DVD burner as bundle ware.  It is basically free.

     

    For video recording it require device that has direct show drivers for 9x

     

     

     

  9. There are universal sata drivers for XP but you have to have compatible hardware.  if you do not than your issue is specific to you not to XP booting on modern hardware or to other users.  you either integrate the driver into a install source using nlite or you put it on a floppy and F6 the driver on install.  https://www.win-raid.com/t3024f45-Guide-Integration-of-AMD-s-AHCI-RAID-drivers-into-a-WinXP-W-k-CD.html

     

    I dont use retore points so I never had this issue before personally I have no need to use system restore on anything because I know what I am doing.  But try this.

  10. Ya i guess I don't find much use for somthing that works in a VM, but wont work on period appropriate hardware.  Since If the hardware is not period appropriate there no benefit to run 9x aside from just wanting to.  But for me personally I cannot be convinced to run 98se on a fast computer that could run XP for wanting to not be able to actually have something that works just because.  Theres actually very few things that wont run on XP better than they run on 98se, aside from period hardware and period drivers, and there is even less software besides DOS based programs that wont run. 

  11. Your post makes no sense.  If you have no media than how can you change a pid.  If you have some media than what keys does it take oem, VLK, retail?  There also is no way to convert a 32bit source to 64 bit so don't think you can do that.  I am not sure if there is a way to convert 2003 server x54 to xp 64bit either, at least not as simply as changing the pid.

     

    Also why do you not go search around beta archive for an ISO if you do in fact have a legit key that should be perfectly acceptable fair use.

     

    I have also never heard of an action pack, there is a such thing as MSDN keys but I have never heard them refered to as that.  I think what I am trying to say is you don't know what you are talking about.  So its very hard to help you.  If you have a legit running x64 instal on a physical computer, why not just dig out the key with like jellybean finder.

    You could alsways not really have a windows key but a Dell or OEM key like a HP key that in not actually a real key they may of used SLIC keys in the bios.

  12. ya I managed to get KM74-g22 working as well, but it really did not work well at all.  I don't mean to diminish the achievement to get it running.  I just meant to say in the original post that nothing beat just using VNC to another computer that had a web browser that actually worked.  Even Getting Opera working the best it can will not beat that.

    Youtube just simply isn't an option either not because you couldn't view it but because older computer can never be fast enough to playback MP4, my T43 even struggles with that.  I don't see how a P3 or even a P4 would do better. That being said even if you manually download the Mp4 from youtube to play in like VLC it will not be watchable in a way that doesn't stutter and drop frames because Old computers cannot offload decoding of MP4.

    On one of my old computers I managed to used adapters, to get a boradcom crystalHD mini PCI express to a expresscard slot on a laptop and only on windows XP that made youtube watchable with potplayer.  I fail to see how 98 could ever be acceptable on that level.  Since you cannot even install a crystalHD on 98.

    I'm getting this crash when launching the 64-bit version in XP x64.  Any advice please?

    palemoon3.png.60c7a1874b4365a81c13958671c2caca.png

    I tried it with a new, clean profile as well.

    Thank you.

    Same just tested it on 2003 64bit, I do not get an error, it just immediately closes.  Also tried with clean profiles.

    New moon 28 64bit works fine tho
