Atmosphere XG Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 (edited) Happy 4th Of July Guys! So, I'm curious what's the minimun processors I can use on Windows 98 & 98SE.Keep in mind, I'm not talking neo 98 nor lite 98. Just Microsoft's Standard 98 & 98SEThanks to MDGx's website, I found out that I'm using the final versions of 98 &98 SE.Here's what processors I have starting on my 98 Computers;Windows 98 First Edition Build 4.10.1998EXPLORER.EXEKERNELL32.DLLmmtask.tskMPREXE.EXEMSGSRV32.EXEWindows 98 Second Edition Build 4.10.2222 AEXPLORER.EXEKERNELL32.DLLmmtask.tskMPREXE.EXEMSG.32.EXEMSGLOOP.EXEMSGSRV32.EXEI have a Windows XP computer as well, however, I'll just post the Windows XP Minimum Processors startup on the XP Forum. In regards, to Windows 98 & 98 SE, can I disconnect anything else?Thank you. Edited July 4, 2006 by Atmosphere XG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XP-is-a-CRAP Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 What Are The Minimum Processors Needed To Run 98 & 98SEUnreproductable. Maybe the minimum __processes__ needed ?I have 7. (+graf driver). None of them is "MSG.32.EXE" or "MSGLOOP.EXE".Beware: CTL-ALT-DEL does NOT reveal ALL of them. On my PC it shows only 3 (+graf driver). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainyShadow Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Well, the absolute minimum processes are:KERNEL32.DLLMSGSRV32.EXEEXPLORER.EXE (or some other shell)Add MPREXE.EXE if you have network installed.Your sound programs might need MMTASK.TSK and/or DDHELP.EXE (not sure about these two).P.S. Check those MSG.32.EXE and MSGLOOP.EXE with some antivirus!!!btw.process = program, application;processor = Central Processung Unit (CPU) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janus zeal Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 (edited) msgloop.exe and msg.32.exe are driver files for a crystal audio sound card, although i dont know if they really need to be running. Edited July 4, 2006 by janus zeal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainyShadow Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 msgloop.exe and msg.32.exe are driver files for a crystal audio sound card, although i dont know if they really need to be running.Never had one of those cards. Let me guess, MSG.32.EXE is the mixer, and MSGLOOP.EXE is related to MIDI synthesis, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLXX Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Minimum processor?386DX-25MHz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atmosphere XG Posted July 5, 2006 Author Share Posted July 5, 2006 Thank you Gentlemen. I appolgize for my terminology error The 98 SE Computer is for DJing so, I would guess, that's why msgloop.exe and msg.32.exe are running.The 98 First Edition, is only for the Internet. I'm not using msconfig btw. I use a process starter to view everything running on my computers. Upon startup, 98SE offers 99% free, and, 98 First Edition states 98% free, so, I guess I'm fine. How can I disconnect MREXE.EXE completely from Windows 98 SE? I'm never going to use this computer for anything that pertains to the Internet. Thanks.

T D Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I have problems w/out systray and some websites say it's problematic too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chozo4 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 (edited) I would always disable systray for the mere fact that you can access what it provides easily through the command line anyway. Only reason I run it right now is due to not knowing the command to access the 'stop hardware device' applett from the command line. Otherwise I would flat out keep it disabled.Never experienced any problems with it disabled. It would free up about 2-3% resources however being disabled.I am curious however, I_D.. what problems were you experiencing with it off?
