Allanon 🇮🇹 :amiga:Are there any simple solutions to have <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/3d" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#3d</a> hw support on any free <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/vm" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#vm</a> for <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/windows98" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#windows98</a> and <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/windowsxp" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#windowsxp</a> ? I'm on <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#linux</a> <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/manjaro" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#manjaro</a> and need to revive old times 😄

Tyler K. NothingI’m definitely a fan of <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RetroComputing</a>, but my allegiance clearly lies with <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Apple</a> rather than <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Microsoft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Microsoft</a>. My old PCs run <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> or <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Haiku" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Haiku</a>, but I get what retro <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Windows</a> peeps want. So, if you want to install <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Windows98" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Windows98</a> quickly, here you go. <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tech</a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/howto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#howto</a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/utilities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#utilities</a> <a href="https://boingboing.net/2025/03/31/how-to-install-windows-98-asap.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://boingboing.net/2025/03/31/how-to-install-windows-98-asap.html</a>

Ethan Black<a href="https://mastodon.social/@256" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@256</a> I can only imagine how cool it would look to have a 9-monitor <a href="https://social.librem.one/tags/Windows98" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Windows98</a> setup with CRTs of different sizes, in a half-organized manner (like the setup in <a href="https://social.librem.one/tags/CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs</a>)

njsg<a href="https://tilde.zone/@movq" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@movq</a> I don't remember details about the "Documents" in the file search, I'd have to check.As for "Active Desktop", didn't that come with an IE version that could also be installed in Windows 95? (But yes, it came out of the box with 98)The explorer look can, IIRC still be changed to smaller icons, and the "Web view" can be disabled. The web view also means you can add a lot of HTML code to the folder display, I think (was this "folder.htt"?).I think some regard 2000 as "peak UI". I'd say the peak is for sure somewhere in these versions, 4.x and NT 5.0.Also: one feature I really miss from these days is floating desktop toolbars: <a href="https://superuser.com/questions/444427/how-can-i-create-a-separate-toolbar-from-the-task-bar" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://superuser.com/questions/444427/how-can-i-create-a-separate-toolbar-from-the-task-bar</a><a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/Windows98" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Windows98</a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RetroComputing</a>

Da Linux beardudeOk. 2 seconds boot time. This is kinda close to <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/templeos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#templeos</a> territory.No amount of modern <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#windows</a> debloating will get you this close. A simple startx will bring me <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/xfce" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#xfce</a> on and get it using like a regular computer.

Cainmark Does Not Comply 🚲Finally copied it all, saved to my own laptop and left with hers for her to copy.I'm sure others would have an easier way to this, but I felt accomplished that I got it done.6/6<a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/z_lib" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#z_lib</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Software" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Software</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/qa_computer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#qa_computer</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/computer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#computer</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Windows98" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Windows98</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/PuppyLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PuppyLinux</a>

Cainmark Does Not Comply 🚲Couldn't find the hardware detection program so turned it off and on again. Hardware detected, searched for driver on that CD.Not found.Huh?Oh.Copied to hard drive and ran as executable and searched again.Winner!I ❤️ love love The Internet Archive!Tried to copy and nothing would copy.

Cainmark Does Not Comply 🚲Turned it off.And remembered the Internet Archive <a href="https://archive.org" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://archive.org</a>Maybe they had older drivers?Searched and used CTL-F to search for USB mentions in each old Windows98 page I used.

Cainmark Does Not Comply 🚲So I tried the wifi dongle to connect to wireless. Probably too old to connect to modern wifi. Got an ethernet cord out. No ethernet port to connect.Turned it off and on again, hoping Puppy Linux would detect it.Nope.Turned it off and on again, hoping Windows98 would detect it.Yes!But no driver!Oh, fiddlesticks.Maybe I could get a USB 3.5 floppy to USB reader? Or take it to a computer repair place?Turned it off.<a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/z_lib" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#z_lib</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Software" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Software</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/qa_computer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#qa_computer</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/computer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#computer</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Windows98" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Windows98</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/PuppyLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PuppyLinux</a>3/6

Cainmark Does Not Comply 🚲So tried to copy to USB in the USB port in the back. No USB Flash drives could be read. And I don't have a floppy drive in my current desktop or laptop.Then I found older USB Flash drives. I found one that was only 512mb and thought that maybe it could be read.Couldn't be found in Puppy Linux. Windows98 didn't find it.<a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/z_lib" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#z_lib</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Software" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Software</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/qa_computer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#qa_computer</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/computer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#computer</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Windows98" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Windows98</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/PuppyLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PuppyLinux</a>2/6
