Can WannaCrypt infect a Windows 98 system by [email protected]
I've only heard it can infect Windows XP and newer versions of Windows. What about Win98, or Win95, WinME, or Windows 2000? Anyone know?

Need to remove a bad file association. by [email protected]
For some reason, VLC adopted the .BIN type file and associated itself with that extension. Those BIN files are system files and should not be associated with VLC. Since Win98 has several BIN files, I need to unassociate that ext. How do I do it? Clicking on one of them caused a system crash.......

Problem with writing/updating to a 32 GB USB stick. by R.Wieser
Hello all, I've got a problem with accessing a 32GB FAT32-formatted USB stick. Although reading from it seems to go fine, either writing big or many files to it causes the computer to freeze hard (forcing a hard reset). 8GB sticks have always worked fine (never had or used 16GB sticks). Does...

I like how these annoying people like to learn people what it's legal and illegal. They make as mistakes in their life as they can, and when it is for a something like that they have a mouth/fingers to talk/type. They are the Good people on earth... This is not your business to learn people what...

Is there any way to Disable "secure" webites that use HTTPS? by [email protected]
When using the limited browsers available for Windows 98, such as Firefox 2.x or IE6, it was bad enough trying to open many of the current websites which are highly bloated with a lot of useless scripts and other code. Now, it's gotten 100 times worse with so many websites switching to "secure"...

Presently I can only access a few of these flash drives and they are all 4gb or less. I want to try this file, but I...

I'm running VLC for XP on Win98se by [email protected]
This is interesting. I installed VLC 2.0.5 (32 bit) on Windows 98se, and it works perfectly. This version is listed for XP and higher. It's not even supposed to work on Win 2000. The last version intended for Win98 was ver 1.0.2 from 2009. I wonder how this can be????
