Could you describe the problem more precisely. I am afraid I just don't understand what you speak about.

If I am not mistaken from your posts in the thread where you initially posted, the one big problem is that disk read/write speed is unfortunately very slow. As for your questions, I have always used Windows with two optical drives plugged on the secondary IDE channel without any problems and I don't know what the line you have in config.sys is for precisely.

The guy I have quoted states the contrary quite authoritatively. It does not mean he is right though but perhaps it could be worth contacting him to make sure.

Nothing apart from KernelEx here. KernelEx: DLLName: C:\Windows\KernelEx\KernelEx.dll EntryPoint: _MprStart@4 Stack size: 0x00001000 I can't recall unfortunately. Well I hope I am not blaming KernelEx because of another problem I have.

Oldest Microsoft Ipv6 page I found on the wayback machine (april 1998) and no good news in it. http://web.archive.org/web/19980428082242/...ft.com/msripv6/

This could be perhaps interesting if it can be found.

Yeah sounds to me like a too high version of oleaut32. Nothing above version 2.40.4522.0 seems to be good.

You are a masochistic pervert aren't you ? Joke aside if you can compare a 98FE CD setup with a floppy one you may well find a way to make a floppy setup for 98SE.

I am experiencing that problem as well but not always. I experience it in about 25% of the boots. The boot process always locks when the wallpaper has been displayed and using Ctrl-alt-del will show nothing or cmdninst or mprexe. I am not 100% sure it is KernelEx but as a few people have reported a similar issue I thought I'd mention it as well. And I am not sure when KernelEx loads with respect to cmdninst or mprexe being used so I don't know if it does make sense or not.

Yeah I see the thumbnails as well but the lack of visible bookmarks text makes it virtually unusable for me unfortunately. Thanks for the head-up

Guys, I've just installed Adobe Reader 7. It runs nice and seems faster /sleeker than 6 but unfortunately I have empty tooltips (no big deal), no label on tabs (a bit more annoying) and no visible text on bookmarks (very annoying). Does someone else experience that ?

Yeah I have got this problem as well.

Yes, but it can be KernelEx problem depending on certain ugpraded library (like comctl32, shfolder).It's all working fine with IE 5.5 here it seems.

Put Firefox 3 in XPSP2 compatibility mode. Right click on the executable and choose properties to get there. It should work after that. There is a thread listing KernelEx compatible applications here : http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=120479

This does sound pretty bad doesnt'it ? It would be intersting to know precisely what drivers you are using then. Can't think about about another benchmark program right nowunfortunately but I think the one you've used is good enough.

The ODF converter integrator requires KernelEx to run on 98/ME but I don't know how well it does as I don't have a file to feed him to convert.

Well, while not AM2+, RLoew (1) at the Day-to-day running Win 9x/ME with more than 1 GiB RAM thread, post #2, is a Socket AM2 machine with nVidia chipset, which is almost, although not quite, the same thing. And it already lacked drivers, but does run Win 98SE. For a multiboot machine I think it's good enough. I am wondering what the performance is with only the drivers windows installs itself and viewing it through the perspective of building a beefy single core system to run 98/ME as it seems it is cheaper to buy an AM2 mobo, a 2.8 Ghz Athlon LE 1660 single core and a stick of 2GB DDRAM2, all new, than it is to buy a socket 939 board, a 2.8Ghz Athlon FX 57 and 2 x 1GB DDRAM, all second hand.

When I was experimenting with multibooting I used XOSL. I remember I liked it a lot because of its nice and easy to use UI. I have been using it without problems for booting into either 98 or several variants of Linux (and I think 2K as well but I am not sure as it's been a long time since then.) It does change the MBR. It does write files in the root dir of the first partition of the disk in addition to writing code in the sectors between the MBR and the first partition. As for ghosting, albeit I never ghosted anything, if Ghost is able to image and restore partitions or physical drives (which is what it is supposed to do I guess) then I see no reason why it should be incompatible with any boot manager.

Well I don't think you can install drivers for a Socket AM2+ with nVidia chipset on 98/ME at all but it is interesting enough to know you can actually install and run the OS on it. Perhaps you could report in this thread as well : http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=97588 As for the graphic card have you tried the drivers posted in the first post ?

Unless I am wrong of course I think you are out of luck with such requirements.

Yeah latest KernelEx and no I can't be bothered installing update 14 now. It is not 100% officially out anyway is it ? The main download page for the JRE still has update 13 as current if I am not mistaken. Why don't you install it yourself btw ?

It was web pages with java applets. For example, the Sun Java test page shows a blank space where the java information and test animation should be. See: http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml It works well with Opera 9.64 and Java 6 update 13 here. I can't test with another browser as I don't have Firefox and my IE does not have Java installed. I have also been running several applets I had downloaded without problems with the appletviewer executable from an old java sdk that was installed on my machine. I just needed two files from the sdk for that, appletviewer.exe and jli.dll. It doesn't read applets directly, you need to feed the appletviewer with the html file that contains it but it will run the applet only. A rather nice little tool for running applets without a browser btw. Here is a downloadable (and quite interesting) applet for example : http://psoup.math.wisc.edu/mcell/mjcell/mjcell.html

We haven't seen him for quite a while. You could PM him if you wanna know more I guess.

Two such core features, System Restore and System File Protection, were in their infancy, did not work very well, and were too much of an overhead. Successful, stable operation of Windows Me, is possible by disabling (not so easy) these 'features' and applying all updates. Yes, some people have had a good run with Windows Me as is, but generally it was not as reliable out-of-the-box. Actually it is very easy to remove System Restore and System File Protection from Windows ME with Oppcomme which you can still grab on the wayback machine : http://web.archive.org/web/20060829073935/...es/oppcomme.exe http://web.archive.org/web/20060829073935/...om/oppcomme.htm
