Running vanilla Windows 98 in 2020 and beyond...
Dixel replied to Wunderbar98's topic in Windows 9x/ME
Draker forgot to tell you about the most amazing addon "SpellForce The Breath of Winter" , also released in one package with The Order Od Dawn under the name SpellForce Gold. Dungeon siege is nowhere near this game . I played them all . I can help you with the right version and setting up this game . There was a patch (official) that removes outdated CD checks . You need Spellforce any version below 1.3 . Then patch it with the patch 1.38. Can send you the link , if you're interested . I played this wonderful addon in 2004 on a cheap ar_se 1.5Ghz mobile Celeron and Intel "extreme" (lol) graphics and Win2000 . Worked fine. Later there was a "Phoenix" addon that bumped the version to 1.5x , but it's still being sold at steam , so no protection-free patches , but this addon is no good anyways ! In any case , do NOT patch the game to 1.5x versions to avoid bugs. -
This is what's happening here , in Holland already ! Source: @PvanHouwelingen

There aren't lots of options . And I'd suggest avoiding Linux at all costs . Like @Mr.Scienceman2000 wisely admitted , you'll just switch to another master and I agree . I'm also a gamer , but I try to stay with Vista . The experience is very good so far . Also , don't waste time on XP , there's nothing to gain for you there at all , should be obvious. Win 7 vs. Vista - Vista is the clear winner in speed and quality (sound , rendering and even HD playback). Now you wrote you have GTX970 , I can suggest some very good Vista drivers.

On the other hand , it's so bad what he did to the poor lizard ...

I remember when all those talks about porting DX10 to XP started . Fifteen years ago. We shall be in our late 50s or 60s in another 15 years . So , yeah , why not , let's wait another 15 years for nothing . Please remind me in another 15 years .

Could we buy it and move to Holland ? Our Vreemdelingendienst (alien's police) will protect it for now. http://www.amsterdam-expats.info/abc/a/aliens-police

Not only for the unvaccinated, but anyone who they deem “a danger” , see § 2120-A. "REMOVAL AND DETENTION OF CASES, CONTACTS AND CARRIERS WHO ARE OR MAY BE A DANGER TO "PUBLIC HEALTH";" They even typed on CAPSLOCK. https://www.nysenate.gov//legislation/bills/2021/A416 We're in some serious trouble , I'm telling you . Coming soon to the theatres near you ... If you have some money , get outta your communist country or even outta Europe . Heard Albania is somewhat quiet for now , but it may change any second ! I've got a friend who lived in Vietnam for almost 2 years, trying to escape this nonsense , what a fool ! He's from Hungary. Austrian father and Hungarian mother, it's a real hell out there , so he had to flee Vietnam and got back to Hungary... but there's masked hell out there too ... so he went to Albania , yes (who would've thought) ?!?. Spent quite a lot of money . I'm sure you understand how Vietnamese police works. I can't say for certain which country is safe now. It's starting to get on my nerves even here ! Some say Latin America is OK , I don't agree. I'd definitely say : avoid UK , AU , NZ , CA , US at all costs ! I won't write about obvious no-go countries such as Chino-Russia. Train your survival skills , buy gold , land and lots of ammo, lots (probably need to choose a country where guns are allowed) . I don't see any good finale .

It seems you already decided to stay on Win10 long time ago and no matter what , so what's the point ?
-
Trolling lvl 168 . I'm sure you know Cyberpunk 2077 is directx12 only , not to mention it's buggy as hell. And XP is what , 9.0b maximum ? Or smth like that.

I have no words ! But it was quite expectable, really . It all began a long time ago , when France started to let them in . Then numerous bombings "happened" , then thousands of churches "went on fire by themselves" , like Notre-Dame de Paris . And now it will have an African galleries or smth like that . Is that true ??? Geeez ! We still have an alien police force , but I don't think it will help much since the direction is almost the same here. Things aren't good here too , my friend just closed his shop . I lost my job because they hired an immigrant from Eastern Europe , who agreed to work for much less. But I beleive we are still somewhat holding on only because of our Royal Family . I don't think all of that you see in your country would've happened if France still had their Royal Family present. Vive la France !

Of course they were , they are and they will always be . DEMS=REDS=WOKE=COMMIES. They just try to hide under their new names . The problem is why the right wingers don't do anything about the current situation . And it seems they aren't going to . P.S. I live in Europe too , but like I said : don't think it won't go here ! I'd suggest you look at UK , US , NZ and AU as "testing grounds" before they move it here . Germany would be a good example . They've waited for the reaction in the English countries and only then started to tighten the screws in Germany . BTW , how bad is it in France ?

Now I understand why we have to deal with an absolute crap software in the last 15 years.

I'm sorry , I don't have time or desire to write and I'm not in a good mood . New "medical" concentration camps bill is coming. Bill A416 . Don't think it's for the US only ... https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FG8GhPEVUAEuwBs?format=jpg&name=large Source: https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2021/a416 New York Democrat's bill allowing governor to detain individuals dangerous to 'public health' https://www.foxnews.com/politics/new-york-bill-a416-detainment-assembly-ny We are entering stage 7 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FG8Ijq2WQAQTCYF?format=jpg&name=900x900 This bill is for their own citizens. BTW : I remember when they first introduced that red blue crap. The DEMS were the REDS. But media didn't like the connotation so they CHANGED IT. lol

1 - Yes , I know . I like evil parrots . 2 - Lizards are absolutely fine with cats and huge parrots , as far as I know. Though they need to be quiet and behave. 3 - Yes , when the weather is acceptable . It likes to ambush . It likes to walk in my yard . There is a hole in the wall ,so it can always get back, when it wants to .
-
Yes , 64 bit . I thought perhaps you could install x64 . It's better than nothing after all. Actually , you need to slipstream it with Nlite and choose "TXT mode" driver only . It worked for me , and I don't like to complicate things .
-
Dave , I had successfuly installed XP 64 (long time ago, without any updates) on my Haswell Laptop from 2013-2014 using only this AHCI driver . iaStor64.sys ver. 11.2.0.1006 x64 I don't remember where I got it . P.S. I can send it to you, of course.

Long time ago, my neighbours filed a lawsuit against me for their dog torn in pieces . It survived , but got pretty heavy damage . Has no leg , etc . And I won , because their dog came to my property and the Iguana didn't like it (what a surprise , lol !). They had to pay for the layers too , of course . I warned them before a million times , do not let the dog on my property . Strange people , really . Not to mention they like cemetery type of flowers . I want to add , the dog was quite big, yet it didn't stop iguana . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XT0q7fD-qfk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y86tk0IdA_U

Never had huge parrots , mostly the ones I could get for free off the streets , lol ! I had several budgies and several Fisher's - Agapornis fischeri (these I had to purchase).

My Browser Builds (Part 3)
Dixel replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
These days there's corporate "science" , woke "science". The real science is left behind . The first two have agendas : money , depopulation , etc . And history rewritten. P.S. I really liked your recent posts . -
These temps are OK for most lizards , I think . The room temps are just fine . What I meant you can't go over 28 degress (celsius) It's the absolute max. BTW , my room temp is 18 at max. , lol . I keep "hot" spots for the lizard all over the house, though . Not all exotic animals , I used to have parrots and they are absolutely fine with low temps, if there's no direct wind . They just eat much more , lol. In case you didn't know , we don't consider them exotic in Holland.

RTL8811CU or RTL190CT Realtek USB Wi-Fi with Windows 2000
Dixel replied to Jakob99's topic in Windows 2000/2003/NT4
I'm sorry , I can't/shan't do it , I'm very overloaded with the real life lately . Besides , using win2000 for the internet these days isn't a good idea , just sayin'. Not because of the "viruses" , it's more like you won't be able to use decent browsers . 360EE maybe ... and that's it. -
No , it knows I'm his master . It knows its name . It hears when I call it (him) by its name over a very long distance ! There was one incident when it wanted to go , but I was holding him and didn't let go , so it bit me very gently (a soft touch , just to warn me). It just wanted to go . It's a very powrful creature ! Definitely not for everyone . The size is approx. like this one from the video below. As you can see from the video , they are very calm and self-confident . They just know you're not a threat, you would be too weak for them , lol . But when they are small , they are somewhat afraid of you , so if you scare them , yes they can run away or whip you with the tail ! None of these had happened with me for all these 17 years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6HBK9A-r6Y It's a serious commitment , think twice before you decide to get an Iguana. EDIT : Agree with @msfntor, applies to every pet ! Also , Iguana size drastically changes and you need to be prepared .
