I disagree you still don't get the fast boot using the WindowsME/98 Hack and you also lose the ability to restart windows in dos mode on 98SE when using these files. And What about the Windows Explorer additions?
For me it is Tough Call between Windows 98 SE and Windows ME.
Pros of Windows ME vs 98 se:
Faster boot up time (literally a few seconds on my computer!)
System Restore
Good USB support (I know this can be added to Windows 98 se)
I like the auto completeing functions in Windows Explorer that is on ME.
I think the TCP/IP stack is more stable.
I like the menu affects
the bad:
No restart to dos.
The Unofficial Service pack seems screwed up on Windows ME... The latest doesn't even install the main updates!
It seems the unofficial support of Windows 98 SE is overall better vs Windows ME.
I hope we all can think of something...... Even if we have to use a modern computer to process the website and then it sends the images to Windows 98 but somehow makes links clickable... The Javascript/CSS heavy websites (which are most of them now) can slow down even a 2.4ghz p4 processor..... It feels like new websites really need a Multit-threaded/multi-core process to load the website decently.
I wanna learn delphi 7 because it is the last good version to make apps that work on both newer windows and 9x. Is there a book I should buy or website I can go to anyone know of a good one? I have background in c++,vb,java,php.
Aot of links to find these old apps/games are dead... I have made a website and added a download manager I would like help on archiving all these tools before they are too tough to find online... http://www.retroelectronics.com/forums/index.php/files/
Yes was using winme before and switched to 98se... I forgot I used 9x in the title thread. I wonder if the APCI problem I had something to do with it..... THe computer seems faster with APCI disabled
