The Winamp Classic and Nullsofted skins make it look a lot like the old 2.* Winamp. -- http://rr.www.cistron.nl/ -!- http://www.rr.dds.nl/ http://www.dread.demon.nl/ |

Also, I came across the following: ------------------- The above answers were correct when it comes to erasing the history. However, the Mozilla Firefox 3 has a new feature called "RichResults", which unfortunately is more of an annoyance than a useful one. RichResults stores the pages you have visited and tries to give you access fast to the results that you want. As a result, all your history gets reviewed - even the unwanted pages. Now, there is unfortunately no way to erase the "rich" history (sucks, eh?). The only thing you can do is disable the RichResults feature by: 1. Type "about:config" to the address line 2. Go to line "browser.urlbar.maxRichResults". The default value is 12, change that to 0. However, by doing this you wont get you history to show up even if you wanted it in the future. Maybe i misunderstand what you write or perhaps this is a bug that only affects Firefox 3.x under Win98? But under WinXP i've had browser.urlbar.maxRichResults set to 0 (zero) from the start of using Firefox 3.x and still have had access to my browser-history via both Ctrl+H (Sidebar) & Shift+Ctrl+H (the URL-library) I had to scrap the whole Firefox 3 because of this and go back to version 2. Shame that they let this go into the release version as it ruined the release for me. They even knew it in the beta phase but argued that its a "feature". Heh, quite a feature, destroyes security completely or renders the browser useless (as you cannot see history if you disable RichResults). ----------------------- The only way (i knew) to stop the distracting popdown-list in Firefox 2.x was (the ugly hack) to lock the history.dat (when it was empty) and then one would not get any history-entries either. For me still having history-access but no longer having the distracting popdown list in the address-bar was a big plus moving up to version 3.x. -- |

It is simple to use, yet very powerful and extendable. http://sourceforge.net/projects/vlc/...2.exe/download I've tried VLC a few times in W98/2Ed, at ver 0.8 and the current version. Neither would run after installing (in a non-default directory, with audio registrations disabled). When I try to run it: "Device attached to system is not functioning" "LIBVLCCORE.DLL file is linked to missing export KERNEL32.DLL:CreateTimerQueueTimers" RL |

Your machine is screwed up. On a properly updated win-98 system, VLC version .8 or .9 works fine. I'm running VLC version 1.1.5. I can run that version thanks to KernelEx. Look that up in google. |
