I've just installed this on a fresh, brand new reinstall of 98se, and so far everything is working really crisp, fast and lovely---a GREAT service pack!
Where though do I find WMI----?
I've used a few links I've found here and there, but cannot find a download link that works anyware!
Also, I have installed WMP 7.1---and used the updates for that, found on Erpman's sight.

I cannot repeat how great this is working!

You can get WMI here:

Thanks gkar!


I could not find it anyware.
Now I can continue with what really seems a spiffy and great super tonic for 98se!
Necessary enriched substinance for 98se! So far working in a most excellent manner.
Once all is installed the test for small discrepencies can commence, though none have showed up yet.

Well, I did not install it yet.
When I went to install it, it says that there is an older version and do I want to overwrite it.
I do not remember ever installing WMI at any time.
Is this something that is part and parcel of Win 98se?
And, am I supposed to overwrite this supposedly older version?
I do not want to mess things up when everything is working so well!

Windows 98SE comes with some old WMI 1.1 files, so, yes, WMI 1.5 will want to upgrade these.
WMI 1.5 allows many information tools to read details from your motherboard and other components properly (via SMBIOS and other means).
For example, the DirectX 9 DXDiag tool will correctly show the motherboard information on the first page.

There are a few post-1.5 WMI updates too:

Thank you 1000 + times over RetroOS!

Now some might ask me, could you not have looked these things up yourself, but every time I searched for this info, and activated a link--I got a white page telling me something or other about something or other no longer there!

I never could really work with "official" instructions, and had to have it retold to me by those who had gone that way before. Yes, I found a great amp head once and proceeded to read the 'official" instructions that came with it.
It made it quite clear to use a special speaker cable, and not a guitar cord when hooking the head to the cab.
Well, to make a long story short, I dismissed the instructions all together, saying to myself "what does this guy know, he only designed the amp" !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Needless to say, it cost about 200 dollars to re-do the head.
Thanks again! And since that incident, I have forced myself to improve to such a degree that I actually relish reading instructions when I can actually find them readily available.
But I still like to hear it spoken in plain simple English, rather than technical jargon.
I am learning a lot from MSFN, even about things I have never tried to do, yet might end up doing.

I'm using russian Windows 98 SE.
Yesterday I installed MDCU 3.05 (russian), and after it explorer menu became partially english. And the following bug appeared: after playing Worms 2 portable all letters of Total Commander and Lister menu disappeared, only underscores left. They restored after reboot (but not after restarting Total Commander), but this bug returned after playing Worms 2 again. I reinstalled MDCU 2.5 which I had before, and bug with Total Commander menu disappeared. But explorer menu is still partially english. Any ideas?
