LOL .... that's the fastest sticky you've ever awarded MDGx !!! Not that it isn't deserving of this title, for it surely is!

Great work Galahs!

I think a list like this would be best made in the KernelEX thread, so not to confuse people who arn't using the mod.

[RetroOS]

Okay,
For those who wanted this thread stickified, It's been done!
Thanks MDGx

See this stickified list thread: http://www.msfn.org/...showtopic=95815

galahs, I know I mentioned having a KernelEx section, but I think you're right about keeping it in the KernelEx thread.
Since KernelEx is an ongoing experiment and has certain side effects, it really is not suitable for a mainstream software list like this.

Thanks for all your work on this list!

OK guys a couple of nifty FREEWARe programs that work great on win98SE. I've suggested some download links. do a google search for the programs if you have trouble:

(1) FTP program. It's very fast:

Leech FTP v1.3 Freeware

http://www.download....6-10122208.html

(2) RegCleaner 4.3.0.780

Hey galahs, why don't you just keep your edit text in two local text files and update those.
Just edit your first two posts and copy all text to the local file.
Then you can edit it offline and just copy and paste it into the edit windows!
Might be worth a go...

[galahs]

Yeah not a bad idea.

I'm actually going to modify the lists completely so I thought I'd do an online backup before the major change.

[Drugwash]

Dunno if I'll find the time to add useful apps to the list, however I'd like to mention that there are certain applications that do not work (at all, or work with limitations/errors/crashes/etc.) on a vanilla Win98SE, but they do work after system upgrades, provided by (un)official patches/packages; most important of them being KernelEx, which for example, allows me to run KMPlayer (which would otherwise throw a C++ error message box) and allows the use of Media library in QMP beta119.

Considering this, it may be a good idea to compile a list of applications and their versions that would run on such a fully patched system, together with the required upgrades for each of them. That would be hard work, I know, but it has already been requested so many times in the KernelEx thread and I thought it might be the right time to start building such information now.

OK, to contribute a little to this thread, I'll add a few apps that I use and think are noteworthy:
