fortcollins Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 With Opera 12.02 under Windows 98, I cannot access many websites. I get fatal error 40 messages, no matching encryption methods. I followed the technique suggested in the link above of copying a Opera 12.18 system to a Opera 12.02 folder to get Opera 12.18 on Windows 98. The technique says to leave in place, from Opera 12.02, opera.dll, html5_entity_init.data, and the gstreamer directory. I had some difficulty getting this to work because, in my Win 98 system, I had Multi User=0 in [System] in Operaprefs_default.ini. When I copied the 12.18 system from Windows 7, I copied the Windows 7 operaprefs_default.ini file. That file did not include a Multi User spec. The copied system did not recognize my profile settings in program files\Opera 12.18\profile. When the program opened, I had no menus. When I put the spec back in, the program worked. It took a while to figure this out. Having done that and used the program, I wonder what this exercise accomplishes. In settings, advanced, security, security protocols, details, I still have the ciphers that I had in 12.02 in Windows 98. Compared with the ciphers available in 12.18 in Windows 7, I have no ECDHE, elliptic curve Duffie Huffman ciphers, and no GCM, Gelois Counter Mode, ciphers. I saw only six common ciphers in 12.18 on Windows 7 and my 12.18 and 12.02 systems on Windows 98. The web sites that didn't work, such as motherjones.com, still don't work. It looks like I still have a 12.02 system? Did this exercise accomplish anything? Has anyone had more success with this technique? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodmaneuver Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 (edited) I am sorry about that, I had heard it done before on MSFN so I tried it myself. It does not seem to accomplish anything & can make Speed Dial look ugly. Also misaligns resize modes selection spot in playback on YouTube. Why start a new topic though? I know that one of Destro's topics has been lost before, so I might take a personal copy of some of my posts. motherjones.com works with CometBird with the mods I suggested. Page loads fast but as I scroll down the page stops with no CPU usage & no extra virtual memory commitment, so needs investigation, inherent with this vs XUL runner I would guess. Wyzo uses FireFox 3.6.28 in my build & uses the Retrozilla library mods, as I put them in system, & works easily with motherjones.com. One problem with FF3.6 is that Gif images do not work. A compromise might be to use an in between vs. Loblo's suggestion of using Burp is really good but I am still investigating and I will try to create a shutdown script to unregister the Burp settings and re-register on startup if needed.

Goodmaneuver Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 (edited) Wikipedia works but I have had trouble with standard 12.02. Found this does not work without Opera 12.18 files update as well. https://xem.github.io/minix86/manual/intel-x86-and-64-manual-vol1/o_7281d5ea06a5b67a-197.html This comment is not true it was because TLS2 and TLS1.1 was not enabled.
