Windows 98 is now 21 years old. That means it's an ADULT and is able to drink in all 50 states. If you are still running Win98, put a bottle of whisky inside the case.

Hello all, I just created a 5 GByte bootable FAT32 partition and formatted it using the /s option (to transfer the systemfiles to it). However, when I than restart there just is a delay of about 10 seconds, after which it reboots. The odd thing is that booting from a FAT16 thumbdrive and than...

What is the last version of Thunderbird that can be used in Win98se? I have ver. 2.0.0.24. I have been using that for decades and never had a need to upgrade. It does all I need, so why add more bloated crap. I use gmail, and use their SMTP pop mail to get my email to TB. I no longer have any...

I like the comment field in the .jpg image format; if viewing an image in IrfanView, I just type I then C, and I can add comment text, that then actually becomes part of the file, thus surviving any renaming, zipping, even emailing. (I use it a lot in listing who's who in group photographs ,...

Could my Windows 98 computer be getting too old? I just had a reminder pop up on my screen telling me to start packing for the Woodstock Music Festival which starts on August 15, 1969. - Woodstock Survivor -

Hi, I bought a Win95 laptop around 1996. This laptop does NOT have a USB port. Years later, I installed Win98se to replace Win95. It has a FDD (floppy disk drive) and CD drive. Also has two PCMCIA card slots. The FDD no longer "works". I searched for an external FDD that connects to...

Windows 98se I have a lot of icons on my desktop. Every once and awhile they get all jumbled up, and it takes me nearly an hour to straighten them up. I have a specific order I have them so I can find them quickly. I have never figured how they get messed up and probably never will.... What...

Using Win98se with Kernel-Ex, I am able to use Firefox 3.x (3.6.28). Anything above that dont run well. With all the added security on websites (httpS), I am constantly getting security errors. Is it possible to take the files used for security from a newer version of Firefox and replace them...

I posted this days ago, as part of another thread, and never got any reply. I mentioned removing K-Meleon, which was my default browser for years, but no longer works properly with the HTTPS sites. But now it seems I have a bigger problem. Firefox is the default and only browser in use now. This...

I'm running Win98se. For many years my default browser was K-Meleon, and I also had the highest (usable in 98) version of Firefox installed. (FF version 3.x). K-Meleon no longer works on almost any website, and the upgrades for it are only for XP and higher. I want to switch and make Firefox the...

Ok, As most of you know, I had a partition go bad on one of my drives and I lost much of the data on it, because I did not have a current backup. I got rid of that hard drive, even after a re-format showed it to be usable and not have bad sectors. This is an old IBM brand computer from about 2001....

Running Win98se and I am stuck with using Firefox 2.x or 3.x. (with Kernel EX). Although Kernel EX says I can use (I think), up to version 6, that has never worked well. I just stick with ver 3.x. This has driven me nuts for years. I never have understood why Firefox goes into OFFLINE MODE about...
