Win9x Patch , you can play XP games and use programs


Recommended Posts

There is still a reason why my old Windows 98/2000 box is running Fedora 9.

Oddly enough, with 320 MB of RAM and a PIII 550, it runs Linux (with GNOME by the way) a lot better than it ran Windows 98.

Yeah right..... Windows 9x is dos based.... DOS has alot guts to it and much more better then linux.... Its very powerful.... Can linux run simcity 2000 noo it can't!

Just because it can run SimCity doesn't mean it'll run faster on old hardware.

dear, oh dear..

Edit: While were at it, lets all play the original test drive on our window 3.1 machines...

I'm so sorry, but using 98 is just :| :o :wacko: BUT i guess to each, his own. I'm certain there are lots of computer related jobs that are productive nowadays using 98se

Does nVidia or ATI even make video card drivers for win98?

No Nvidia last video cards for 98 is 2006 :( I've installed windows 98 se on my amd xp 2500 1.8ghz 512mb of ram box and it runs amazingly fast! I love it! I can't believe how much more responsive windows 9x is compared NT based OSes

Do you know how many security holes are in Windows 98?

None? All worms like blaster were all NT based. 9x is a very secure OS believe it or not.... Its simple network system doesn't make it harmful to worms etc....

*COUGH* naive... *COUGH*

well at least no new ones are developed anymore, or if, just few...

No security holes?

More like no security at all! All files readable by all. All users have write access all over. No account separation.

It was a nice OS at the time, but its time has long gone in a security-minded world.

Also, anybody could steal your computer, bypass the password box and they have access to everything.

Time makes everything insecure, XP is the worst kind of insecure OS I've ever seen (people could remotely attack!) I did not see such in W98! (remember that damn blaster virus?) that is just to name ONE! Life before SP2 was HELL!

I still remember those days, Install XP, tweak it, optimize it, install softwares, start internet AND BANG! Install XP, tweak it, blah blah blah (i even remember having dreams of setups 10% 20% FAILED! ERROR! etc) hehe :D Even after disabling most of the services @services.msc, out of no-where, worms pop and shutdown system (new worms, viruses 2 to 3 times a month!!!)

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!
    • Same, never saw it on Android or iOS. Guess only some people got it *shrugs*
    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
