Do you have KernelEx installed on your system?

If so, they you should be able to run Opera 12.02. That's the only
version of Opera 12 that will run on a win-98 system (but only if it has
KernelEx).

I think you'd find that Opera 12 to be compatible with many web sites.

I myself still run Firefox 2.0.0.20 as my default browser, and
frequently view many websites with no Page Style if the default
rendering is too unworkable or faulty. But I will resort to Opera 12
for a few sites.



Yes, i have Kernal-EX.
But I would not install Opera on any of my computers for less than
$10,000. Pay me, and I'll do it.
(I can restore Win98 from my backup afterwards).

I've had that piece of **** Opera completely screw up my computer
several times over the years. That piece of crap is nearly a virus.

I run FF 3.6.28. Kernel-ex claims it will run FF up to version 6.x (I
think), but it dont run worth a ****. Ver 3.x seems to work fine though.
Nothing higher than that...
