Is there an option in your bios to set usb keyboards to legacy?

Yes the link mina7601 posted is the download link. I haven't tested the latest 1.6 version. After getting kernelex installed you need to get the core updates. Once these are setup you should be along the right path to then get Java going. You need to install Java 6 first which I believe is the last installable version and then download jre8. Once downloaded and extracted (the instructions are on the forum) you need to set the exe's to WinXPSP2 compatibility as per firefox. Once java is set you need to add a path in msconfig. The path for msconfig is essentially just to redirect the appdata folder for the app as it uses this location to store config data. I kept things easy and made a folder called appdata in my c: root. Msconfig has the environment tab which allows you to then set this variable. After, start the jar app using jre8 and not the version 6 you installed earlier. Once done you should be good to go

So further on from my post in the XP forum, I decided to play around on Windows ME to see if I could get the new Java based Spotify client working and to my surprise it works and plays! Steps included installing Java 6 then Java 8 as per the instructions on the forum. I have manually set appdata in command line to a folder called appdata in C root however I need to test if this is required or not. I don’t believe there has been a spotify client up to now for Win 9x so this may be quite a novelty for some!

Hi All, This isn't my project however I have tested and found it to be working https://github.com/werwolf2303/SpotifyXP It's based on Java and restores music streaming for XP.

No it’s a completely different system that just looks similar to normal Windows. You’re basically trying to run a normal Windows app on android/linux/ios/macos. It’s not going to work without programming skills
-
Windows CE is not based on the NT kernel so without recompiling your apps they aren’t going to run unfortunately

Modern browsers work on Windows 98 as per the first post. Read the hard work put in by other members to find out how to do it.

It’s not speedstep but have you installed the 2k dual core registry fix? That may be causing part of the hotter temperature. My D630 runs fairly cool with the fix but I think my CPU is a T8 something or other

Can someone find a w2k tool thats on the tip of my tounge?

NNN4NT5 - it’s included with BWC’s extended kernel -
Fair enough that could be an issue... I do have a folder full of 2K updates which I saved with WSUS offline so if worst comes to worse I could put them on a file share for you. I believe on the internet archive people have saved all the updates though too so that might be easier access so you could download and burn to a disc if your laptop has a reader? Failing that you’d probably need to go down the slipstreaming route for your installer

@i430VX posted a very handy video which may help you out here

Does anybody have this old 256 MB USB stick (photos included)?
ojt_1998 replied to Gansangriff's topic in Windows 9x/ME
Those memory sticks were branded Integral here in the UK. My Dad had either the 256mb or 512mb and I had the 1GB version. I still have my 1GB and it emulates a floppy which has the driver on so I’ll see if I can access it and if so what OSes it supports -
Fair enough - it's almost like all data for each session isn't getting saved - when starting again I don't get any autocomplete from before. Maybe it's down to path differences between 9x and NT OS's? I'm running Roytams build of FF45 SSE version. Haven't had any crashes as of yet but I'll let you know if I do.

Apologies for what feels like spam posting... Further to my endeavors I have discovered the following: Address and search bar can be worked around using the above post or by installing Adobe Type Manager 4.1. I used this to install AwesomeFont 4.7 and after this coincidentally fixed the bars. I'm guessing this is down to it installing some required but not necessary files. The browsers do work in a Virtual Machine using the files I got from my extended Windows 2000. This leads me to think there is potentially an issue with one of the files from XP SP3? Anyhow, once again thankyou for all the work that has been put in to getting these working.

So I've had a play around this morning with Classic Theme Restorer and it seems that if you change the toolbar mode from Show Icons Only to any other option then the search and address bar display all the text. Not sure how or why but it's a decent work around. Is there any way on FF45 to get it to remember that I've accepted the Google user agreement or is that something I should live with?
