Version 2.0 BETA 2 is ready.

Sorry, but some features still don't exist:

- General USB MSD support (Need help: Post).
- Windows 2000 Desktop Icons, 256-Color Tray Icons, Better Notepad (Need help: Post).
- Uninstallation.

This BETA is only for TESTING.

Download BETA 2

The next release will be probably FINAL.

Please, write ANY comment (If it even works properly, write it), I need your support.

great work! just a suggestion doesnt windows 98 have a ram probably leaking and things like that windows xp dont really have ram problem can you add like a ram release program to make 98 se more stable? just a thought

Unfortunately, Windows 98's memory management is not good. Some updates in the service pack fixes some memory leakage problems, but this is not enough. RAM release programs also don't solve this problem.

I recommend that you should use well-written mature programs, avoid to use any beta/alpha/new programs.

Unfortunately i have an error messege as same as the old version 1.6

so it dosen't work properly........

What is the exact error message? Could you write your IE and MS Office version?

Hey it works great for me ...
I've just installed it ... I'll wait to see how it work for harder jobs

Keep walking .... Jonny Walker !!!

I found using Litepc to partially remove (de-integrate in their words) IE did an amazing job of increasing the stability of win98se.

Just a side note, I installed this Beta 2 and here are a few things I seen missing or maybe the update didn't install at all.

1. Windows 2000 / ME color scheme changes.
2. Windows 98 Second Edition Caption on the Start Menu

I installed 1.6.2 and these two things showed up

ok my dear

it is the blue screen as same as it in the old version and i have IE 6 Office 2000

thnx

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.

Thanks

MCSNetworks
try install in this way
1. Win98SE
2. DirectX9.0C
3. Drivers (inf-udates, sound, video and so on)
4. any of UnSP (1.62 or 2.0B2, but only no need to install both of 'em)
5. IE6.0SP1 + updates
6. all the rest ...

Issue Found, Defective / Wrong Driver for Sound Card. Interaction with current multimedia drivers / direct X 9.0c put computer into a fatal error.

Thanks

WINDOWS ME DEFRAG.EXE INCLUDED HERE AS ATTACHMENT !! (Much Faster Defrag)
- RENAME WINME.JPG TO WINME.EXE - IT'S A SELF-EXTRACTING WinRAR FILE.

why doncha just upload the defrag
coz it sounds like if you change it it may be a virus or somthing bad,until i see that is is what it's sposed to be i won't dl it

funny that, i have 3 systems running IE on win98se and they all run stable. but get this, 2 of the systems are running Cyrix processors.

the only IE probs i have faced when dealing with other ppls IE probs is where JAVA applets freeze the browser. For those of you who play yahoo pool on 98 im guessing you know what im talking about? simple fix - updating JAVA.

I believe i read that Gape was wanting ppls support to help the development of sp2 rather than jackass comments towards fellow members.

if you won't download it, then it wasn't meant for people like you
(and btw son an .exe or .rar file cannot be uploaded to the board)
the file is ok of course, now available here:

WinME.RAR

WINME.RAR Checksum 0F333325

I cant quite find the time to make the second link work; the checksum number is there anyway though.


AND DO YOU NEED SOME VASELINE WITH THAT? ROFL

o im sorry, are u trying to b funny? hows about you translate that into a 'joke' we can all share..

a joke we could all use but nimba has some good ones,i didn't dl it cuzz i didn't know u can't upload exe's,sides i already got it from another source
now lets add some poopy diapers to it and have a laugh

Unofficial Windows 98 SE Service Pack 2.0 beta 2

Another link

http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enh...vice-Pack.shtml

if you visit windows update n get the updates there you won't need sp2 beta 2
just wait till rtm comes or final

C'mon people. Start acting like mature and civilized folks.

AVOID downloading the WinME.RAR file. Go get the WinME Defrag
along with the WinME Scandisk tool at Mdgx's Addons page instead:
http://www.mdgx.com/add.htm

It's far better than downloading just the WinME defrag tool because both
the Scandisk & Defrag tools of ME are faster than the 9x versions. Mdgx
has packaged both of those tools in a zip file. Get it directly from his site.

Dear Gape welcome back

HAPPY NEW YEAR DEAR

1) how to uninstall the sp2b2 from system
2) how to run in silent mode.

gape needs to fix that
the ability to uninstall the sp 2.0beta
hopefuly in the next one it will be fixed

2.0 Beta 2 does not have uninstallation support. It is a BETA.

Of course, the final version will have uninstallation support.

also ppl thats why it's beta,if you install the sp 1.6.2 then the beta then the 1.6.2 actualy becomes the 2.0beta uninstaller just rename it if you want to be specific

just popped in to say that i have installed the beta and everything runs smoothly...no bsod's or anything, and i'm not the type that installs betas but i said what the hell it couldn't do any more damage than destroying the windows installation ...really i think u should consider releasing the final

I did the same with a fresh install of 98se. It runs great! I was a little worried, but no troubles after three weeks. Much better performance than the stock install of 98!

in the beta there is no windows update bug but you won't be able to uninstall it but i doubt you'd need to uninstall it if it works for you,the 1.6.2 has a windows update bug but allows you to uninstall it
when the official 2.0 comes out then i will install it but for now i'll stick to the 1.6.2
