Highest Adobe Reader with KernelEx 
  ... ... Doesn't matter what browser you normally use. Does your system have IE 5.01 or 5.5? Win-98se comes built-in with IE 5.01 - unless you do a bone-head thing and remove it (ie win-98 lite). My default pdf reader is adobe acrobat 6.0.2 (I believe there are updates that will go to 6.0.4 or 6.0.5). Every PDF file that I download... more »

Micro$haft admits failure on Windoze 8 
  I told you that Windoze 8 was a flop when MacroShaft fired the guy responsible for it last year. I'm still seeing people downloading several versions of Win-98 on bit torrent. I was even seeding a few of them this past weekend. ============================== ================= May 7, 2013, 4:45 a.m. EDT... more »

What version of DirectX for 98? 
  A program on my XP computer was bitching about upgrading DirectX. I went to the Microsoft site and found the newest was ver 9c. Actually I thought there was a ver 10, but it was not on there. They did have a ver 11, but that appears to be a beta and only for Windows7 and maybe 8. Anyhow, I have not upgraded DirectX on my Win98se computer. The... more »

Thunderbird wont match data folder on dual boot 
  I have Win98 as my main boot and Win2000 as my secondary OS installed (dual boot). I'm finding myself having to use Win2000 more often lately because certain things, especially browsers, will no longer work in Win98. I'm trying to avoid having to install XP, and Win2000 seems to work fairly well for most of the XP apps. However there is one problem... more »

Last version of Adobe Shockwave for 98 
  What is the last version of Adobe Shockwave Flash that can be used with Win98se with the latest version of Kernal-EX? I'm running Firefox 8, and have Shockwave 10.xxxx installed, and constantly got messages to update it. I finally disabled it entirely. I'm not sure what purpose it serves, but it appears that I cant view... more »

Firefox 8 Tabs question 
  ... ... First I have to ask why you're using FF 8 - or point out to you that bookmarks and the recent-history drop-down bar don't work on FF8 with win-98/KernelEx. I believe that they do work in FF7. ... I can confirm that with FF2, new tabs indeed DO NOT open according to your selected home-page (which I didn't know because my default is a... more »

Do they still make keyboards without the "Windows keys"? 
  Do they still make keyboards without the "Windows keys"? I have never used them, and dont plan to. Every keyuboard that has them annoys me. because I'm always bumping them. I just remove them on a new keyboard, but that makes an ugly keyboard.

Playing MIDIs with Win98's original SB16 OPL3 sound card 
  I keep running into dead ends here. I have a modern i7 machine with Windows XP and Microsoft's GS Wavetable SW for MIDI which sounds different than the one I remember in Win95/98 when I used Voyetra AudioStation to mess with MIDIs. I tried Virtualbox which doesn't simulate the old OPL3 MIDI device, I... more »

Is there any browser left for Win98se? 
  With the html 5, I'm constantly getting script errors in the browsers I have been using, namely K-Meleon, Netscape, and Seamonkey. I quit using IE years ago, and know that IE6 is the last version for 98. (which was always crap). I found a browser called Flock, and found out it wont run in Win98, nor will Chrome. The only one that still works halfway well,... more »

Any WinRAR experts out there? 
  Disclaimer: I'm sorry for posting right here, in W98! I couldn't find a special group for WinRAR. However, I found most of the answers to questions regarding WinRAR in groups dealing with W98. That's already my first question: Isn't there any group, board, or something out there for WinRAR (maybe "advanced") USERS?... more »
