That's pretty slick. The Chromium builds are here: http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-snapshots/index.html?path=Win/ I don't know what or why, but the page seems to be running a script and takes a while to render. Inside each directory there is a 'chrome-win32.zip' file, that's probably what you want instead of messing with the mini-installer.

Maybe this: http://www.statistics101.net/OODocBatchConverter/ not sure if it will work on 9x and it requires OOo/LO

Doesn't OpenOffice have a built in Wizard to do just what you want? File > Wizards > Document Converter. Edit: http://openoffice.blogs.com/openoffice/2007/08/taking-your-mic.html She's doing the reverse of what you're wanting to do, but as you can see, the options are there. Nevermind, doesn't work that way.

Have you done a clean install after replacing memory/ video card? If not, I'd reset the BIOS to default options before doing, perhaps choosing compatibility mode for HD, if applicable. Do not reinstall over current install, do format and all. Edit: My Motherboard only allowed two choices for the graphics card: 'On Chip VGA' and 'PEG slot' which I assumed (still do) means PCI Express Graphics slot. Sorry I didn't recall that earlier, hope your not in the same boat. Further Edit: I may have had motherboard resource conflicts too, until I updated the drivers using Intel's update I pointed to above or the unofficial one (for the 865) I pointed to in my original post: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/158239-installing-98se-on-emachines-w3629/#entry1009973 I had to extract them and do them manually, I went into the device manager and updated that way. One at a time, yeah it's a pain, but it obviously worked for me.

My apologies, my eyes were drawn to the 4096 + the fact that it is a four GB flash drive. Thanks for the clarification, all.

Glad you got that to work jumper. Thanks for the details too. I am wondering if part of that is being wasted though: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/137152-physical-adress-extension-and-windows-9x/ It looks to me as though that unless you have R. Loews patch, that anything over 2 GB swap may be a waste. Perhaps you could store TEMP and/or temporary internet files there too.

Sorry to hear. BTW are you trying 98 or 98SE?

http://www.mdgx.com/files/NV8269.TXT the links in the file work too. Edit: here too: http://www.mdgx.com/files/nv8269.php

Oops, wrong place.

It may not be the exact motherboard, but I did get 98SE running on a 945: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/158239-installing-98se-on-emachines-w3629/ Try it with 1 GB memory if possible. IMO, you should give up on AutoPatcher too. Try the unofficial SP instead. As you can see, I just used the generic inbuilt Intel Graphics card and the VBEMP 9x driver, so your result may be different. Quick advice (FWIW): Get to 1 GB RAM Reinstall You're already booting -- no need to fiddle with HD settings. Install this: http://www.mdgx.com/files/48BITLBA.EXE Reboot, see if you can get drivers going. Don't mess with updates (Patchers and SP included) until you can get the drivers going. BTW, the last official Intel Chipset driver will update a few drivers: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=8177&ProdId=816〈=eng&OSVersion=Windows%2098%20SE*&DownloadType=Software%20Archives I had to do them manually.

I suppose if you had very little RAM and very little disk space, you could assign virtual memory to the flash drive, couldn't you? I've never tried it.

I had to laugh when I ran across this: http://adminextra.com/threads/zb-block.3518/ Note Mikey's thoughts: Amen, Mikey. Amen. BTW, I should say that no one with half a brain ever implemented "RST cookies" like I mentioned above.

The only thing I can guess that he could be yabbering about is "RST cookies" Was there an update that addressed this issue specifically? Not saying this is how he's detecting 95, just likely what he's talking about.

The entire quote is: Don't you wish someone would have told you that you can't access the internet on Windows 95 before you did Andrew T.? I'm going to have to get the ol' Win 3.1 system up and running to see if I can access the site. Edit: User adwade is getting quite an edumacation from that post.
