WinXP icons looks ugly on Win98.

A full slipstreaming is not possible, Windows 98 doesn't support slipstreaming. But, I added (in 2.0) a feature which is called "semi-slipstreming". If you extract SP2.CAB (which contains sipstreamable hot-fixes) from the SP into Win98's setup directory, Win98 will use these newer files during installation.

Hey all,

You know that there is an option for the mouse in Windows XP saying "Snap To" (check box) , Automatically move pointer to the default button in a dialog box.

I get used with it, and I would like to have it in Windows 98 SE too.

(because I'm using both systems)

So, Does anyone of you know if that is possible?

I've searched the web, but without any luck ... so if any of you know any application that makes it possible ... please tell me about it.

i think if you install logitech mouseware (its free and works with mice other than just logitech ones) you can do that. i remember seeing the snap to option in the mouse control panel. http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/download...,contentid=6003 is the download link. it doesn't have any spyware or viruses. i hope this helps.

I still have a 98 machine I use for playing old games.

98 is still useful. Thanks!

Last time I tried to use Windows 98... I installed all my software (granted, that is a lot of software).. the machine started randomly crashing every 1/2 hour :laugh: Kernel32 errors and the like... I went to XP and haven't had any problems since, on that machine or on my newer system.

Link is dead.

Can we not ban trolls who come to this section of the board with no purpose other than to badmouth the designated OS?

Good idea to rephrase that statement.

should be, 'can we ban trolls who come to this section of the board with no purpose other than to badmouth the designated OS?'

My reading of what you wrote was that you want 'Trolls' here dissing the thread.

    • As long as Manifest v2 extensions keep working. I always enable compact mode from about:config. I hope I won't have to switch to LibreWolf or WaterFox anytime soon.
    • Threads scales past half a billion users, brings deeper community and feed controls by Fiza Ali Meta has announced Threads crossing a major milestone of 500 million monthly active users. And, at the heart of this growth sits something simple: communities. From books to basketball, parenting to music, Threads says its rise has been powered by people clustering around shared interests and, in turn, giving the platform its identity. In response, the platform is expanding its Communities feature beyond beta and introducing a set of new tools designed to make participation easier and more engaging. A redesigned Communities Hub will now appear in the main navigation menu, allowing users to jump between groups without leaving their feed. Each community will also receive a distinct Community Icon, giving them clearer visual identity and making them easier to recognise across the platform. Then there’s Community Progress, which is a kind of live gauge showing how close a topic is to becoming a full-fledged community, alongside guidance on how users can contribute to its development. In addition, Meta is also expanding its Community Champions programme, recognising more users who actively contribute to community engagement. And then things go more local; Local Communities is already available in 100 countries, including North America, South America, Asia, and Europe but are now rolling out with native-language tags starting in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. The platform is also expanding Live Chats to more communities in the coming weeks, adding features such as co-hosting and the ability to quote moments directly into users’ feeds. Beyond communities, Meta is tightening the loop between users and their feeds. Earlier this year came "Dear Algo," a feature that lets people tell Threads what they want more or less of. Now it’s being paired with a new tool, "Your Algo." It allows people to adjust how frequently certain topics appear, with options lasting one, three, or seven days. Meta says these preferences remain private and can be managed alongside “Dear Algo” in a unified settings hub. The rollout begins in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand. Finally, the company says these changes are part of an ongoing effort to refine Threads based on user feedback and that further updates will continue as the platform evolves.
