What service pack for Win98se?

No need to apologize. Just recognize the utility of posting to the appropriate newsgroups. However, I note that you *again* did not cross-post to microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion, even though you are continuing this dialog on a path that pertains to windows 98. You seem to be going out of your way to NOT post replies in this thread where I have already added microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion to the distribution, but instead when you reply you do so by creating a new thread - and only post it to the XP help-and-support group. This is highly suspicious behavior. I am using Win98 for one reason that is I bought an old pc game that needs an old pc so I have built a pc for that but I though the service packs for 98 and xp were the same, I was wrong there. I know I can run VMware, dosbox or program compatibility on Win xp but I don't want to do that. It's been a while for me with win 98 so my questions were a bit off - my apologies again. I needed a service pack for 98 because before I installed an ATI Radeon 3d card driver I had to install "Net Framework 1.1" and internet explorer 6 or the driver would not install, later I found the driver or the card were not working 100% so before that I thought an up to date service pack might help as one game I used as a test said something was missing but I was later seeing a bad driver problem because of graphic mishaps after the driver was installed so now I am in the process of getting another driver to try or I'll use an NVidia card. Thanks all GK I can only say that I'm baffled by your continued use of the XP help-and-support group to post questions pertaining to win-98. There might be others that will help you install win-98 with all the appropriate accessories (like a functional driver for your video card, .Net framework, etc) but I no longer have the inclination to help in this hand-holding process just so you can play some old games. Just tell him to use 'Compatibility Mode' in WXP. I don't have a clue what that even means, exactly, (I don't run WXP) but I know that people who do often get W9X stuff running on it by doing that, without recourse to virtual machines. |

But it only works with some apps, as might be expected. I don't know what it is doing behind the scenes to accomplish this feat, however, (but that would be interesting to know). |
