wolfpack Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 first let me say hello to everyone and i hope that someone can answer my questions concerning the unofficial SP 1.6.2, I am planning on reinstalling Windows 98SE on a friend's computer and I would like to know if I were to use the 1.6.2 unofficial service pack,would I have any problems updating to or using Internet Explorer 6.0 or are there any Windows updates or programs I should not absolutely use if I want the unofficial service pack to be trouble-free?? so I guess I am basically wanting to know what are the negative side effects of using 1.6.2 ? thanks.
tim_horton Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 sp 1.62 works great no problems u can install dx9 and explorer 6.0 no sideaffects dude.
Kelsenellenelvian Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 I found a MAJOR side effect the system ran better and had a more capabilities.......O did you mean bad side effects sorry my bad.
soldier1st Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 there is one minor side affect that won't be in version 2.0...If you have problem with Windows Update after installing version 1.6.2, you must run these commands (from Start-Run):regsvr32 wintrust.dllregsvr32 cryptdlg.dllregsvr32 rsaenh.dllotherwise all i have noticed is a much more stable and faster osthe new icons make it look more modern.
Acheron Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 You can't install 1.6.2 on a 98 Lite Micro or Sleek system, wonder if that's fixed in the new version. For the rest no side effects
wolfpack Posted January 21, 2005 Author Posted January 21, 2005 thanks for the quick reply, I think I will be giving the unofficial service pack a try.
soldier1st Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 the sp 2.0 will support sleek,right now it supports chubbymicro is crap
CLASYS Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 the sp 2.0 will support sleek,right now it supports chubbymicro is crap No, it's just not for what you think is important.We discussed this already: MICRO is for extremely teeny systems that can boot on an LS-120 without any usage of the hard disk whatsoever, so you can maintain your hard disk from that vantage point while it is not booted up. No hard disk files are exempted from any form of access/deletion, etc. Incidentally it's fast, but the point is that it is fully-featured *enough* to run defrag, scandisk, anti-spyware/antivirus stuff, etc. that can find problems with your main system that it itself cannot even find due to cleverly-hidden viruses, etc.Every variant of 98lite has a valid purpose, including OVERWEIGHT; it shows you what 98lite does by omitting the improvements temporarily!cjl (have used all 4-5 variants)
