What are you talking about? Programmers today are using an extended form of Assembly which uses windows API's. I forgot the exact name of this language but it's still Assembly and you can use pure old assembly code into it if you want. Assembly is still the language of top programmers.

IE6 and Maxthon. I never tried firefox but someone told me that with FF they had ;ess problems. I was wondering if that was a Flash Player 10 issue of just facebook wanting me to change my browser/OS... How are our guys with Flash PLayer 10 + KerneleX doing?

In HTA Dim objShell :Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") should be replaced by Public objShell Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") ... and be placed before any function or sub. Like this you can reuse the objShell object in every sub and function and you don't need to nullify it everytime. The response returned from a MsgBox cannot be a boolean (True or False). It must be a number or a vb word (VbOk, VbCancel, VbYes, VbNo etc).

My advice is to chose from the begining wether you want/need scripting or programming. Because if you are like me and started with scripting you may never be able or have the patience to learn how to do an executable. I started with vb scripting thinking that I will easily move to VB, then to more difficult languages. Eneven as I consider myself an expert in vbs, I quickely gave up when tackling a programming language, even VB! It's a completely different way of having things done.

Thanks for all the replies. As I see there are two ways to reach a page: from the php interface and by direct link. In the direct link only the number following "-t" in the old address is needed in the new address (followed by "-"). That's already easier.

I'm adding links to some topics from MSFN forums on my website. I noticed the topic url's are not the same as previousely. e.g.: http://www.msfn.org/board/install-large-drives-above-137gb-barrier-t113142-pid-740545.html became http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/113142-install-w98-on-large-drives-above-the-137gb-barrier/ Note: install-large-drives-above-137gb-barrier became install-w98-on-large-drives-above-the-137gb-barrierSo it's not even possible to recompose the new adress from the old one because the description changes arbitrarily! Question: will the old addresses ending with .html be always valid or should I change all the adresses by hand? If I had to do so it will be a big work for me.

Last version of uSP is 3 beta 4. A beta version but it works fine. This + subsequent updates + links to discussions are also available here

I did it for w98se updates. http://www.htasoft.com/w98se_post_usp4.php I designed the php code myself, much smaller and much more efficient than pre-built freewares. The only thing I have to do is to upload the files via HTP and they appear in the list. If you want I can give you a slightly modified copy of this page (the php file) so that you can do the same on your website or collaborate on my website (as long as my bandwidth permits). Or both.

Says "Please install Adobe Flash Player" or something of that effect. It goes without saying that Flash Player is installed on my computer and it's version 9. Happy Aquarium is going slowly and doesn't allow to hunt for treasures. Any work-around?

If most computers were running w98, most viruses would be designed to work on w98. But most computers run XP/Vista/7 and viruses may or may not work on w98. It depends on the code. They also make use of well-known and easier breaches in XP/Vista and not of more difficult and less-known w98 breaches possibly useless on XP/Vista. Technicaly w98 is safer than XP and Vista, but it's false to say that it cannot be hacked. You can if you realy want to. XP can be secured with efficiency to the level of w98 and even better without a firewall or anti-viruses, but few poeple do that because some programs and some files used by common programs must either have special privileges or be located somewhere outside the Program Files folder. As a result it's quiet difficult to set up and use a safe, restricted user account on XP and most poeple expose themselves on the internet 24/7 on an administrator account. W98 is definitely safer than an XP administrator account but not safer than an XP restricted account. On Vista it's a little bit different and it depends more on the user's behavior IMO. Banks often have insurances against such frauds and often refund volontarily their clients on a fairness basis. It's at the bank discretion but they are eager to keep their clients. The refund may be in full for small sums or partial for bigger ones. Recently russians hackers stole very small amounts disgized as bank transfer fees from a lot of poeple. They went unoticed for months.

I have tested writing, reading and deleting on USB HDD full beyond the 1 Tib barrier and I didn't see any error. Moreover I'm sure the datas I tested are written "after the first Tib" because the drive was filled to 1 Tib at once and I added datas to it later. Now I'm not saying that every w98 users wil be as lucky as I'm!

enable48bitlba-break-137gb-barrier and install-large-drives-above-137gb. All you need to know is there. You don't need any driver. You just need a patch.

I would tell to make it w98 compatible + using the APIs contained in KerneleX. Add the KerneleX APIs to the W98 APIs.

I noticed already that lithuanians are not the best coders in the world. But this is indeed uncomprehensible. LOL. I changed the user agent to IE7: It didn't solve this specific problem but javascripts seem to work a bit faster in general (on other websites).

What's the PostBack javascript function. AFAIK all you need is the submit button. In fact you can create a form without any javascript. Proof is that you can fill and send a form with javascript disabled (except when it's intentionaly designed not to work without javascript but that's an additional complication). I was skeptical because the browser reacted as it didn't send the infos at all.

No it's only this aspx page. Here is the link: https://deklaravimas.vmi.lt/InternetAuth.aspx. If I click this link like that it opens in a matter of milliseconds just like any other aspx page. But of course it won't show me anything of value, just an message from the website itself that it hasn't enough informations to proceed (of course). But when the browser tries to sent form datas to this aspx page via "submit" button (see code sample below), IE fails to do anything at all and nothing appears. <form action="https://deklaravimas.vmi.lt/InternetAuth.aspx" method="post" name="packetForm"> <input name="TYPE" type="hidden" value="BANK"> <input name="PERSON_FNAME" type="hidden" value="FREDERIC"> <input type="submit" value="submit"> </form>

I can't open an ASPX web pages on w98, and to my great frustration I can on the Vista machine. I'm using Maxthon 2.1.5 + IE6.1 + MDIE6CU + all the important w98se updates. I tried with Maxthon and with IE alone, with different security settings to no avail. The page must open via the "submit" method just like you submit a form to an asp or php page. But the browser doesn't seem to send the form datas, or it ignores the submit command, or it doesn't know what aspx is. I don't know. It's the first time in my life I can't open an internet page on my w98se machine. Maybe I should try FireFox. What do you think? I can't post the link here because it's a secure domain and you won't be able to use the form to test it anyway.

Try with NUSB. You'll find it here: http://www.htasoft.com/w98se_post_usp4.php

DVD Shrink. I don't know about their last version but version 3.2 does work on my computer. No KernelX needed.

Thanks for the informations, rloew. Do we also need this or does this applies only when no driver is being installed for the device? When I plugged the USB drive a driver was installed. I had MD's NUSB installed before and I guess the driver come from that.

Webpage updated with May 2010 updates.

JFYI: New, large (>500Gb) USB Hard Disk Drives can work on w98, with the big HDD fix and NUSB installed... and if they are formated in FAT32. Reformatting USB Hard Disk Drives from NTSF to Fat32.

I thought that XP/Vista had an internal utility to reformat to FAT32. Yesterday I connected a brand new Toshiba external USB HD, 1.5 Terrabytes on a single partition. Plugged in my w98 PC, and it works like charm. Just amazing! It was already formated as FAT32. I don't know if it was formated at the factory or on the Vista platform where it was used the first time.

I too bought a scanner/printer with off-PC copy function. Great stuff if you print or copy everyday especialy when you need to do copy without having to turn the pc. But it's more like we used it once a month... and the cartridges were always empty. Now I use it only as a scanner because the printer is broke or clogged with dry ink.

If it's for fun or for the challenge, it's all right then. I'm also spending cuntless hours designing my own apps, while I don't absolutely need them.
