Microsoft silver light by sandrine durand
I have found that this application crashes my Internet Explorer or Firefox whenever I am in my Hotmail account. Has this bug been fixed yet? I am afraid to install silverlight now.

"Illegal operation" by dan
As of late IE 6 (win 98 se) is posting this dump on certain sites, eg: Consumers.Org, LLBean.com and a few others. I tried to track why but no results. It's frustrating in that most other sites come up fine. This is the dump: IEXPLORE caused an invalid page fault in module MSHTML.DLL at...

Compressing video and audio to save disk space - some insights by Bill in Co
I thought I'd summarize my findings in case anybody else can get something useful out of it, or wants to debate it. :-) It seems if you want to conserve disk space and get the best file compression (i.e., to get good quality in a small package), the following seems to be true: For VIDEO...

VMM32files lists, anyone? by Lostgallifreyan
If you're willing, please post an export of your W98 registry branch: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\VMM32Files (Also, if you're willing, state the mainboard make and model, though that might not matter so much as I'm after a statistically useful base). I'm looking to see...

How to install DirectX v9c on W98 SE if you hate IE... by Lostgallifreyan
I wanted DirectX v9c, and found that I couldn't have it because I didn't want Internet Explorer. I got an error message: "A cabinet file necessary for installation cannot be trusted" That word 'trusted' bothered me, it smacked of policing, of M$ telling me that if I didn't accept their will to...

Default to keep newer file during installs? by Lostgallifreyan
Is there a registry key to set W98's hardware (and perhaps software) installs to default to silently overlooking the presence of a newer file, and keeping it, when installing new hardware? An INI file entry will do equally well if there is one, but not a commandline switch as the install process...

Window placement accuracy limitation by Lostgallifreyan
Does anyone know why W98 defaults (in 640x480 16 colour VGA) to placing windows in quantised steps of 8 pixels in the X axis? The Y axis is freely settable to any pixel. I want to override that stepped behaviour to optimise placement of two console windows in what is extremely limited space.

Ini files. and the 64K filesize limit by Bill in Co
In Win9x, the INI files are normally limited to 64K bytes, which normally is not a big problem. It can be problematic, however, for most CD music players that rely on an INI file (cdplayer.ini) to store the CD text (artist, title, etc) information, since once that 64 K filesize is reached...

WebM? by Bill in Co
I just came across some articles discussing how this is coming our way (whether we want it or not). Looks like some of us W98, and even XP, users got more troubles ahead, if you want to watch or download any videos on the net (which are currently FLV(h263) and MP4(h264) in formats. For one...

Multi-core CPU support for win-98 by 98 Guy
I see that Rlowe is selling a support package that allows win-98 to utilize multi-core CPU's. http://rloew.x10hosting.com/prerel.htm It's not clear to me if the package allows existing multi-core applications to run transparently on win-98 and make use of all available cores, or if this is only...
