No, I haven't such problem - as I presume, it could be something wrong with your sysytem (but you must remember, that I'm using KernelEx 4.5 Beta 2).

You haven't seen message from Xeno86?

Dave-H, same as you, I'd like to replace my old Radeon 9700 (if I remember correctly, bought in 2003). Theoretically, I'm in a better position than you because I have a PCI-E slot on my motherbord. But we will face two major problems: first, you can't buy a new graphic card equipped with less than 512 MB of graphic memory (not resolved issue on Win98/ME). In fact, I don't even know if it's possible to run PCI-E graphic card with 256 MB on those systems. Second problem, it is of course, lack of drivers. In theory, you could hack drivers for Windows XP/2000 - they use WDM model driver which is supported by Win98/ME. But as I presume, it's more than difficult. As to your question: if your motherboard supports AGP 2.0 (mode 4x) you can put a card from X800 family as the strongest on the ATI side. From Nvidia, it would be a GeForce 7 family.

I'v tried to check newest version of it (RC 7). Uninstallation of the previous one (10.0.45.2) was smooth. No problem with installation of 10.1. But it doesn't work - looks like it's not detected. Anyone using it successfully?

Personally, I do not using built-in download manager (Firefox 3.5.10) Maybe you could try freeware FlashGet (classical version 1.73) plus FlashGot extension? I'm using that combo for a long time and I must say it's really effective. Btw, in that way, you can keep easier traces of your downloads (if you need that).

With PCI, you must remember that bandwith of this bus is shared with other PCI devices, when AGP is for graphic card only. Another thing is, that AGP 2x rate is equal to 533 MB/s when PCI is just 133 MB/s. You can't even dream about 512 MB on the card - it's not resolved issue with Win 98. For newer PCI graphic cards (like HD 2400 Pro or GeForce 8400 GS) at least Windows XP is required - no drivers for older sytems. I would recommend you to keep graphic card which you have or buy better motherboard/CPU/RAM, etc.

First, congratulations for a new and improved version! Second, sorry for my lame question but those updates from your site should be applied before installation of Revolutions Pack or after it?

Of course you can disable all internal filters in Media Player Classic: Options then Internal Filters. With help of the KernelEx, I'm using clsid ffdshow version (from 10 April) - I don't have problem with various media files. Btw, I don't recommend you to try MPC-HC - it doesn't work well on Win98SE.

Thank you for the explanation.

I hope this wonderful project wasn't frozen because there's no new updates on sourceforge since February.

In that way Gape, Xeno and Tihiy (most precisely their work) were immortalized. Btw, you've made some nice videos.

Molecule, I don't know AIM but I've asked my friend about it. It's his reply: A1: AIM is independed from Google and needs an extra AIM account. A2: Did the user successfully finish account creation? (Sometimes an activation email will be sent). A3: User: the part before @ Domain: gmail.com Ressource: leave blank In any case it's important to know if the access to AIM/GTalk/etc is allowed in the network or if it requires a proxy (can be set seperatly).

Yes, it's called Pidgin - I'm using it for chat with my friend on ICQ: http://www.pidgin.im/ To use it you need also to install GTK+ libraries (2.6.10 is last compatible with Win98/ME). Btw, it's support many protocols. Supported chat networks: * AIM * Bonjour * Gadu-Gadu * Google Talk * Groupwise * ICQ * IRC * MSN * MXit * MySpaceIM * QQ * SILC * SIMPLE * Sametime * XMPP * Yahoo! * Zephyr

Yes, I can confirm that too. I have Java 6 update 18 installed (next-generation Java plugin is disable) and it works with Firefox 3.5.8 (KernelEx 4.5 Beta 2) Unfortunately, it doesn't work with Firefox 3.6 (no matter, if that plugin is disable or enable). Honestly, I don't know what could be the reason/reasons. Btw, PierreLeGnome, I don't think that Firefox 3.5.x is so much slower than Firefox 3.6 The bigger problem is that officialy, it could be supported just until August.

Maybe instead of asking so many questions you could simply install Opera 10.5 and learn about it yourself (I'm not you and my expectation/expectations would be different than yours most probably).

I could fully agree with you (about marketing pap) if we talk about an commercial product (for which you need to pay) but it's a freeware browser. I don't know, what you expect from me: some tests/benchmarks or something else? I think, that simpliest idea would be to try Opera 10.5. If you like it, you could use if not you will stay with Firefox. My default browser is Firefox 3.5.8 (with help of KernelEx) and Opera (stable 10.10 version) is my third choice - after SeaMonkey.

Newer, faster, technologically more advanced browser and also more secure - FF 2.0.0.20 was released in December 2008 (you can expect some security issue/issues with that version but on the other hand I don't know if they could affect Win9x users).

Xeno/Tihiy, again, very good work guys! I see significant improvement in stability of my programs with KernelEx 4.5 Beta 2 version (with previous one I had some crashes).

You know, Firefox 3.6/3.5/3 require at least Windows 2000 (many other programs too). But through KernelEx we can use them (of course not all). On the other hand, what you expected (Win98 SE was released more than decade ago)?

I have IsoBuster 2.4 and it works under Win98 SE. From their changelog looks that 2.5.5 version ist the last compatible with older systems. It's info from the 2.6 release: Btw, have you tried to use KernelEx?

No, it's latest stable version of Opera for any Windows version. Btw, latest build (3248 aka Beta 1) looks like is ok too - I've tested it shortly.

I can confirm that build 3241 works ok but installed in seperate directory than stable version (with presence of KernelEx 4.0 Final 2)

In fact, I've installed that Alpha to the directory of stable 10.10 version but I don't know if that was a reason for my unsuccessful run. I can't uninstalled KernelEx because some of my programs required it's presence.

Modicr, I've tried 3228 build of Opera 10.5. It was possible to install it but it can't run (despite of help of KernelEx 4.5 beta 1). As I've seen, officialy the oldest supported system is Win 2000 (similar to Firefox).

Sorry but I couldn't agree with you. Yes, both are BT clients but IMHO, BitTorrent (I've used it in the past) is some sort of bloatware compared to uTorrent. Duffy98, as to the your question: I have 1.8.5 version and it works but I'm using KernelEx 4.0 Final 2. I've installed also version 2.0 RC4 but I don't know how it works - I haven't tested it yet.
