Unofficial Win98 SE SP 2.0 BETA 1

[Gape]

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.

What about the new boot logo with the Second Edition tag on it, that I've heard on other forums, will it be added in SP v2.0 ?

[Gape]

I released BETA 2, you can check my own forum (the link is at my web page). It contains "Boot Logo".

well even though 98 isin't my main os anymore i still consider it to be very good and worth keeping around just when support ends you'll need to dl all your drivers

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'll try it on my P60.

nice

SO can anyone answer to my question ?

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.

Hi Gape,

u r doing a great job. I think u must add a Security Center like thinggie in the Win98 SP2 because Security is the need of every indiviual and this is really a cool way of reaching people with legacy OS like 98.

Umer.

Shocking but we still use 98 client PCs at work, ive been installing these "unoffical" releases since the start and have been great.

Keep it up I say! :)

Well, I found out you need 32MB Of RAM to use it.

Too bad it doesn't have 40MB in it anymore :(

Hey TheBigB,

10x for the tip with the logitech mouseware driver, it works like a dream, it seems like the mouse cursor it moves even smoother.

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

98 is still useful. Thanks!

I use it professionally for data processing and software development. 98SE actually gives me a much better thoughput than any other OS I know of when I access lots of files randomly. Dunno why... :p

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.

[jago25_98]

Really useful. If you run something like VMware I like Win98 because it's fast and small.

Nice :)

Gape, hope to see Win 98 SE SP2 soon. I offer you mirror on ftp.teol.net if you need any.

And for me most inportant new feature in SP2 is Universal USB drivers

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.
