Default Opera 10.54 on Windows 98 SE

After updating msimg32.dll on Windows 98 SE, Opera 10.54
appears to install and run without any problems. Without
updating the DLL, Opera will still run, but gives an error
message about the transparency feature.


I always find it interesting when someone without much of a
posting history posts to a dormant windows 98 newsgroup. I
wonder what motivated them to do it. How exactly did they
choose which group to post to. Why didn't they do a little
more investigation to see what might be the best group to
post to.

So because this looks like some-what useful information,
I'm adding a couple of much more active groups to the
original distribution so that more people will see it.


What would the world do without your sage advice and protection?

On the same system, Opera 10.60 will not run. So maybe
v10.54 is the last to run on Win98.

The msimg32.dll v5.00.1693.1 that comes with Win98 needs
to be replaced with v5.00.2218.1 that comes with Windows
ME. For details, see this thread:

Changing the DLL did NOTHING on my USB@10 install. IIRC, it
actually ****ed it up. It's probably just another way MS have
thought up of introducing spyware into computers whose owners
don't like IE.

I don't use opera myself, as Firefox 2.0.0.20 works just
fine as a web-browser for win-98, and netscape communicator
4.79 is a perfectly good usenet client.


Not to mention you are too stupid to use Opera. Firefox - IE for
people who like to proudly say they "don't use IE".
