I don't think that would be viable considering the scrollbars in IE itself are also modified by other webpages through CSS to change it's colour properties. In the end would only cause excessive amounts of fighting over who gets to draw it. The skinning engine or IE itself.

Thats because the other packs overwrote some critical files needed by Revolutions pack. Install order is the service packs and THEN revolutions pack. Just reinstall revolutions and you'll be set.

I doubt it's an O/S issue at all but rather it all boils down to the internet browser. Have you tried using a different browser or updating Internet Explorer (if that's what you use)? Since it's 'newer' websites having difficulties it's likely related to certain standards being used and website coding methods. It could also be whereas the webmaster themself are maliciously adding a browser / OS check to discourage certain userbases. However, that can be easily avoided by changing the browsers AGENT string.

Though I'd add on: Axialis IconWorkshop v6.1 - http://www.axialis.com/download/iw.html Folding@Home v6.0 BETA1 [text-only console] - http://folding.stanford.edu/English/Download - despite stating NT/2k/xp/vista only it works flawlessly on win98. The GUI clients however would/should work once we get support for 'GetLastInput' through the KUP project. Also, unsure if the GFX versions (uses vid card for processing instead) would work as I don't have any radeon series cards that it supports.

It's not just IE6 either actually. I had the same issue with even IE5 since I don't use IE6 on any of my systems. Glad to hear it worked for you.

I had this issue long ago with some ftp servers myself. Disabling the passive ftp mode seemed to have worked for me at the time. Option can be found through internet options -> advanced

My loyalties lay with the EPoX line actually. Their boards have been very flexible, overclockable, long life (have yet to have one die on me yet), and most of all rock solid stable even during many of the harshest over/under clocking enviroments.

Ironically those were long available as even Winamp 2.x plugins if I'm correct. ^,~ Personally, I've been using 2.92 for a very long time and it has yet to fail me in any way nor fail with any format's I've thrown at it. It's a pity though for the fans of the 5.x series that they're dropping it all of a sudden. Wasn't compatibility one of their focuses in the past? If they were dropping compatibility for the sake of code-size (I'm guessing here) through dropping the compatibility libraries, they should have provided the needed compatibility files as a separate download instead. For those still seeking older (functional) versions of winamp could benefit from taking a look at http://oldversion.com

All of my desktops/laptops run win98SE as well as my webserver.

Internet Explorer V5.0/V5.5 Avant Browser V10 Lynx v2.8.4 (Text-Browser) Mozille Firefox v0.8/v1.0/v1.5.0.7 NetScape Navigator v4.06/v4.79 Opera v3/v4/v9 WebTV Viewer v2.6 Why so many? Aside from my primary choice (which is IE5.5) I use the rest purely for the sake of site compatibility testing during any projects/site works of mine.

The closest used to be a service providing FreeDSL (freedsl.com?) but the service has long since gone kaput. Used to be ad-sponsered through a nifty little toolbar that wasn't really invasive at all. Goodluck trying to find anything beyond dial-up for free nowdays.

Out of curiosity - would this help you any in furthering this driver package, MDGx? Considering there were users having issues with the GeForce 7 Series (and possibly later?)? GeForce 6 and 7 series GPUs Windows XP/2000/Me/98SE - WDM Driver http://www.nvidia.com/object/wdm_geforce_4.13.html

What browser are you experiencing this under? Does it occur for other browsers or just a single one? The whole page itself scrolls just fine for me under IE5.5. However... div#left { color: #FFFFFF; position: fixed; left: 0px; top: 0px; width: 170px; height: 100%; background-image: url(assets/sidebar_body.png); background-repeat: repeat; text-align: center; } Seems to be the culprit. Your use of 'position: fixed' is removing the vertical bars from scrolling. Perhaps you should try aligning the left menu inside a table rather than positioning through CSS.

Use Maximus Decim's Native USB driverpack. That will take care of your driver issue for your enclosures. They will work for all storage devices such as enclosures, flash drives, thumbsticks, most mp3 players & cameras that have storage. Which can be found here: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=43605 I have several driver enclosures so I can confirm that the native drivers do the trick.

http://mechresource.myvnc.com/upload/sharpeon98.jpg The SharpE shell works under win9x - I just tested CVS6 of it. However, it has many issues. Applications will often crash under GDI.EXE through SharpE. Then it will progressively cause more issues while trying to load other applications as it then starts dying under Kernel32.dll and user32.dll before finally giving up. It worked fine for the first few minutes though. It might be issues in GDI.EXE causing the others to occur (possibly heavy resource leaks?). Additionally the default desktop icons such as my computer in it did not function right and so needed their targetnames changed. edit: The issues stop once you disable SharpeTray and not use the 'SharpVol' plugin with SharpeBar. They seem to refresh at an incredibly fast rate which is overloading GDI.EXE and thus causing it to crash. Other oddities include needing to reload SharpMenu after changing a theme since it isn't automatically reloaded and using the commantline plugin in sharpebar cuts off the last letter from what you enter for some reason. As an added bonus - the components that are used with it CAN be used without loading sharpe directly and so can be used as addon components overlaying the explorer desktop. From what it seems - the one component prone to causing issues is SharpeTray but it may not cause issues on other systems.

Ripken has the idea but he's mixing the idea of php with javascript. You cannot call a php (serverside) function directly from html or javascript (clientside). Download.php <? //NOTE: I took the liberty to make it a slight bit more secure. //By preventing outsiders from downloading anything they want //through adding a path to any other folder on your webserver //or even worse abusing it to use the page as an http-proxy. //Collect the passed filename from $_GET['file'] and then //strip out any paths to avoid the client from downloading //anything they want from outside the directory this script is in. $file=preg_replace('#.*[/\\\]#','',$_GET['file']); //Insert here the path to your files folder or leave empty for //script-root. For example: $path='myfiles/folder/is/here/'; $path=''; //check if the file exists - if not then stop executing if(!file_exists("$path$file")) die('File does not exist'); //send the neccessary headers since the file clears as existing header('Content-type: application/pdf'); header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$file'); //Read the file in and send readfile($file); ?> We would then call the script from the client (your html webpage or whatnot) by using this: <a href='download.php?file=whateverfile.pdf'> As mentioned nothing needs to be on the page for the header parts to work but that means that no output can be sent before calling them in the php script itself (code is fine without output). It doesnt matter what page is already loaded but rather what's sent from the script. Also, I could have hardened the code more to only accept PDF extensions but I didn't want to make it too much to handle.

That can be done through php with the use of Header() andn changing the content disposition. The info for that and more can be found at http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php Here is one of the examples that may be relevant to your needs. Example 1578. Download dialog If you want the user to be prompted to save the data you are sending, such as a generated PDF file, you can use the » Content-Disposition header to supply a recommended filename and force the browser to display the save dialog. <?php // We'll be outputting a PDF header('Content-type: application/pdf'); // It will be called downloaded.pdf header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="downloaded.pdf"'); // The PDF source is in original.pdf readfile('original.pdf'); ?> Be sure to read some of the user contributed notes for more hints and ideas on how to use this method to it's fullest with other file formats as well.

Ah, It had meerly seemed very odd to me which is why I'd initially shot it down to a software issue. My apologies 2 Words - Device Life If you leave the pc running for a time, shutting down the hard disks will help extend life through not running them. This will also reduce wear from heat damage depending on your disk and heat output as higher RPM disks run much warmer than their slower counterparts. Also shutting down the disks help the components inside the pc cool more as there is one less device producing heat and less strain on the power supply (which will also then produce less heat). Comes in very useful if you've multiple hard disks as the non-primaries [usually] won't be used so often and so will be turned off untill they are next accessed. Shutting off the monitor will reduce burn-in effects on an idle CRT display (which also blur a bit the older they get) or the wear on an LCD (display gets dimmer when they wear out). In all cases you also cut on power use thus reducing the electric bill a small bit. Surely you could just shut off the computer and/or monitor but there are those times you might just need it running.

I wouldn't go as far as removing ACPI/APM to 'fix' such an issue as it's likely caused by a certain piece of software running rather than the OS. I've literally hit around 908 hours last I looked (37+ days) before it got restarted due to a power outage.

edit in: It's late, I'm tired, and haven't much time on the net lately, so I may have rambled a bit here. Personally, I've been using a self-handled PHP session rather than php's built in session functions so, your mileage-may-vary here. Working with sessions myself are based off the users Primary-IP, Forwarding-IP (if applicable), and a random UID# which is sent through a cookie(only the uid is in the cookie). Those 3 variables make up the session itself which is then tracked/updated/validated serverside. So, take for instance, the users IP is 127.0.0.1, they are sent a cookie containing a randomly generated UID# which is stored on the client. The session ID is a combo of the users IP+UID#. If any any point the users ip changes, or the cookie is changed/deleted, the session is no longer valid. If it stays the same, the server looks up the stored session 'key' (made up of the mentioned info) and then matches it to the user. The drawback to using this method though means the sessions lasts as long as the users cookie & IP stay the same. So, 'remember me' logins & methods won't last. Breakdown: Users IP is: 127.0.0.1 User gets UID from server as cookie with uid: '1234' both of these create a session key (crypted possibly under md5) such as '13287sessionkeyblah1234'. The server stores the session in a local database or file (in this case) as: $session['13287sessionkeyblah1234']; The session however contains user relevant info such as the last active time, username, and other information. So, it would end up as: $session['13287sessionkeyblah1234']=array('time'=>12345678,'user'=>'username'); Now as long as the users ip's stays the same and their UID in the cookie stays as '1234', their session info will match. Otherwise there is no data to assign to them and so treated as a guest. The point of the timestamp is for session purging. Every page load the sessions would get queried by time and any of them last active longer than a set threshhold (such as 360 sesonds) will be removed. (yay! rambling!!!) What you store in the sessions is up to you as to what is being handles really. A session would really work out serverside for user specific functions as that could alleviate extra queries on the users database when looking up on the user themself. So, items such as: 0) What session 'key' am I bound to? 1) Which user am i? 2) When was this session last active? 3) What did I last click or do here? 4) Did I do this yet? or that? etc. would be best stored in a temporary session.

That depends on exactly what you are looking for really from XP in 98. Driver support: Starting to lack as more newer hardware without usable driver supports is released. However, there are more and more unofficial drivers being released to avoid such an issue. I see you are using a 7800 Nvidia, perhaps you might wish to try the unofficial or the slightly more recent nvidia drivers in one of two threads in this forum. Features: Can do (almost everything) winxp and do and sometimes more depending on your needs/wants. It may not be as new but it still has full DOS-Support which is especially useful if you still like to play older games and even more useful if you play them online at places like KALI. Some programs will not work (yet) on 98 if they are writen for XP but as stated previously, Xeno's KernelEX is starting to solve that issue with MANY programs. The very first incarnation of it allowed win98 to fluently load some 2k/xp only games such as doom3 and quake 4 to work without editing the main game file itself. If you want to get it to as close to XP as possible in appearance , perhaps TIhiy's revolutions pack would whet your whistle. ot only makes it olook and feel like XP but version 7 even gives it more of a VISTA feel as well. Furthermore, using the 98->ME service pack installed some of the better / more stable millenium files into 98 to add features from ME into 98 without losing stability. I hope that helped give the info you needed. If I'd missed out on something just ask. Final notes: However, I would do some research on your current hardware and get any hardware drivers you might need first before going the plunge. Additionally, seeing as you are using a cure-duo, you will only end up using one of the two cores due to 98 not having support for multiple cores as of this time.

There is no php validation as far as I know. However, whats validated is the HTML output from the php script.

There is a list of available doctypes at the following pages: http://hsivonen.iki.fi/doctype/ (contains more in depth info) http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_doctype.asp http://htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/doctype.html As for outputting the doctype... You can use the method phkninja declares or you can just add it in to the very top of your PHP outside the php tags. Such as: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <? //insert your php coding here ?> Php will output anything not in php tags just as it is. Thus allowing you to output non-dynamic html without the fuss of having to enclose it in a variable. Also to note - if you are not sticking to a strict standard and wish for alot of flexibility, I would personally recommend using HTML 4.01 transitional.

Hopefully this only ends up as a minor issue. Vista98. However, If you are able to access DOS but still can't get into safe mode, perhaps try rolling back to registry by typing in 'scanreg' then selecting one of the backups in the 'view backups' list. Not sure if it would help but it just might. Also, if that doesn't help and considering it never goes online, perhaps do a disk check through DOS if/when you get into it by typing 'scandisk' and letting it scan through. You might have ended up with a system file being crosslinked. If it reports any having been done so, keep note of which files they are. That actually depends as some mainboards support/enable Legacy-KB emulation through USB. Making the KB usable not only through the BIOS but in native DOS as well. Most of the keyboards needing windows drivers usually (never seen one that didn't) need them only for multimedia-button support if the board has Legacy-KB emulation. edit: Wow, I sounded snotty for some reason after re-reading (again) what I'd typed.
