Last Version of Software to Support Windows 98 Second Edition

Macromedia Flash MX 2004

Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004

Macromedia Fireworks MX2004

Adobe Photoshop Elements 2

Quicktime Alternative 1.54

Good topic! Here's my list of Win98 compatible software essentials that have not ben listed yet. All are free.

Xnview--http://www.xnview.com/

Xmplayer--http://www.un4seen.com/

Gomplayer --http://www.gomplayer.com/main.html

ffdshow--http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow

SumatraPDF--http://blog.kowalczyk.info/software/sumatrapdf/

Deepburner--http://www.deepburner.com/

SIW--http://www.gtopala.com/

Maxthon 1.6/2.0--http://www.maxthon.com/

Spybot S&D--http://www.safer-networking.org/


I still use Avira antivirus but support for win98 is ended already and antivirus-updates won't be available anymore in 2008. Not really fit for this list anymore.
Xnview is getting more bloated and slower since the 1.9 branche is out. For the same reason I use SumatraPDF and not Foxitreader:

Though I'd add on:

Axialis IconWorkshop v6.1 - http://www.axialis.com/download/iw.html

Folding@Home v6.0 BETA1 [text-only console] - http://folding.stanford.edu/English/Download

- despite stating NT/2k/xp/vista only it works flawlessly on win98. The GUI clients however would/should work once we get support for 'GetLastInput' through the KUP project. Also, unsure if the GFX versions (uses vid card for processing instead) would work as I don't have any radeon series cards that it supports.

EXCELLENT thread - thanks all!!

Plenty of my favourites in the lists above. Thanks for the info about others.

My addition is Skype. I have version 3.2.0.175 working very well, so long as I remember not to try video. Skype announce a version 1.4.x as the last to support Win98, but go on to say that later ones might work, they just give no guarantee.

http://support.skype.com/index.php?_a=know...neral%3C%2Fa%3E

Their forums give mixed response.

Programs Still Supporting Windows 98 Second Edition

Audacity

Miranda IM

Broken : Filezilla, Python 2.5, Media Coder, all open source stuff that is using pango libs.

Photofiltre -> great paintshop program still supports 98.

This thread is very important, IMHO.
So I think it ought to be stickified.
Could a moderator be so kind as to do it, please?

Only really useful if one can still get the software. Would it be allowable under the forum rules to post the software (assuming the licence allows it of course)?

Hi galahs,
Excellent idea. I was just about to start a similar thread... Glad to see you've done it first!

I suggest that you edit/update the first post with all new additions so there will be a complete list at the beginning of the thread.
I've noticed that lists are overlapping because items are not in the first post!
Also it would be a good idea to create sections like Windows components, Games, Utilities, Applications, Incompatible (for new software titles that will not work) etc.

BTW, I had not thought of actually installing Sun Java 1.6.0_03... Seems to work without any problems!
The installer only says that it is best on the listed OSs but not that it will not work on older ones...

That was also a very nice surprise for me!
Galahs, thank you warmly for excellent thread!

Great work galahs on the category sections!
One suggestion though is that you put the last update date clearly at the top of the first two posts.
This way people can easily see when you last updated them!
I know that the last edit date/time is at the bottom of the post, but it would be so much clearer added to the top.
Also, I made a typo in my list (that I'll correct):

It should have been (changes in red):
Symantec LiveUpdate 3.0.0.177 - current 3.0 - not 3.1+ - free - ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_...3.0/lusetup.exe
Symantec Event Library 11.6.8.1 - current 11 - not 12+ - free - ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_...t11/sevinst.exe

Can you correct your list too.
There's still some items in my list that would be good for others to see in your master list.

Another section you may want to add is software that only works with Xeno86's Kernel Update Project installed.
See Xeno86's thread for a growing list of software that works now with KernelEx.
The Kernel Update Project is still experimental so "use at your own risk" applies.



Hey rainyd, I'm still using Java 1.6.0_03 without any problems!
It actually seems faster than 1.5.0_13 that I had installed and now removed...

Sometimes one has to ignore the "must have" OS information on websites and actually try the software!
I've been using Skype right up to current version 3.5.0.239 without any problems.
I've even been able to get the video test window to work sometimes...
I use video Skype under Windows XP...

That sums up this excellent thread!
Let's pool all the information on all software that still works (or does not work) in Windows 98SE (or Windows Me for that matter).

To all software testers, tinkerers, tweakers, average joes, what do you know?

I totally agree with the above comments. This thread ought to be stickified... even if only the Freeware software is allowed.

When I've got the time I'll see if there's anything I can add in the way of software links that are allowable.

Kensington MouseWorks Software Version 6.11 for Win 98(FE/SE)/ME/2k/XP, for PS2 or USB mice (it does not support serial or bluetooth mice). It works great also with Microsoft Intellimouse 1.0 or 1.1 (of course, they don't tell you this) and defines more configurable mouse events than MS Intellipoint 4.12 for five-button mice (two more, in fact: right+left chord and outer+inner chord; chord is clicking simultaneously two buttons) and also allows one to program sequences of keystrokes as mouse events.
