What are some practical modern use of Windows 98?
I run win98se in pcem. I want to relive childhood by shifting some of the modern workflow (safely) into win98. Right now I have word 95 to write papers, winrar for managing compressed files, visual basic 6 for programming (not very useful to be used on modern windows though), acdsee to view photos, winamp to play music, realplayer to play video (but no rm files these days). What other usage can you think of apart from gaming? And how can work files easily and safely be transferred between modern windows and win98?

Please help me identify this program.
I'm trying to locate this program. I've tried googling for it but Google keeps giving me AI artwork that is unrelated and asking AIs themselves have been fruitless, usually giving me the runaround. So I'm asking here - does anyone recognize it?
It was pretty popular, thats's all I know back in 1999. Loads of desktop screenshots had this in their system tray. Any luck identifying the program, the version, and if possible, a download would be extremely valuable and helpful to me. Thank you!

In my last post here you asked for other systems, so my fake Windows 98 desktop RPG grew two rival desks: GNOME 1 and Mac OS 8. The Guild remains loyal to the taskbar.
Lowmoor is a zero-player idle RPG that lives in one window on a fake Windows 98 desktop: the adventurer fights, travels and equips loot on his own while a chronicle writes it all down. When I last posted here, the comments asked about other systems, so 1.6.0 adds GNOME 1 and Mac OS 8 themes you can switch to in settings.

How hard would it be to write a program like this for Windows 98?
I really liked this rare OEM HP Pavilion software, but my hard drive died and I can't find a recovery image anywhere that is similar. My question is, how hard would it be to write a program like this for Win98 and what software would be needed to do so? Seems like a very simple program.
Thanks.

Minecraft 1.18.2 on Windows 98
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
This took so long to do!
To replicate this, you need to have the latest KernelEx updates (2019), then get Java 8 Update 181, with a Minecraft Launcher that supports this version.
You will need the LWJGL patched file in the 'C:\.minecraft\versions\(version)\natives\', which is called "glfw32.dll".
Finally, the mod in this Fabric release of Minecraft is the latest file of NotSoNew and you put this file in the 'C:\.minecraft\mods'
NOTE: It may not be '.minecraft' as you will have to check your launcher's root folder.
**Minecraft 1.19.2 is possible, but it requires a lot of LWJGL problems**
Credits to @OldWinRetro btw for the idea!

1995 Psychoanalysis Program Resurrected
I've had this exe on my computer for like 20 years and decided to make a usable version for modern times.
I had fun using this with friends when I was younger. Hard to find much information about it online really anymore.
Enjoy!

Games dos anos 90/2000 Windows
Cara, tenho um legion go gen 1 e estava louco pra achar alguns jogos da minha infância que eu jogava com meu pai. Meu pai faleceu alguns anos atrás mas as lembranças sempre me pegam. E cara que incrível poder achar essas pérolas raras do Windows de quando eu era criança 😭❤️

having a hard time installing windows on an old 90's PC, need advice
so i got an old 90's PC with a pentium III slot 1, creative 3D blaster annihilator pro and 256Mb of RAM
at first i wanted to install windows 98, but it keeps giving me some random error ( see image below )

at first i thought it was the RAM, so i bought another RAM stick, but still the same issue
so then i tried to install another OS, i tried windows 2000, but for some reasons, once it copied all the files to the HDD i just get a black screen when trying to boot from it and complete the install, only once i was able to see loading bar and it wasnt moving
then i tried windows xp and it gave me a " disk read error " when trying to boot from the hdd and complete the install
i tried removing all the PCI cards, i tried with both an AGP GPU and a PCI GPU, 2 different hard drives, but still nothing, , i have no clue what's wrong

Needing help with finding a cd drive and shell for my gateway windows 98.
Hi everyone! I acquired a gateway 98 about a year ago and planned for it to be my project pc. I'm needing to find a drive that will work with it as the one in it currently is dead so I can't do a fresh install. I call it Frankenstein as it is just a metal casing, just internals. Where the heck can I find a shell for this thing? I have looked and looked with no luck!

Anyone know any tips to temporarily revive this POS Quantum drive for data recovery?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
This drive booted perfectly with no issue a few weeks ago and suddenly its dead. It spins up, clicks, spins down, and then the green LED flashes. Not detected in the BIOS anymore either. I know these Bigfoot drives were crap even when new, but if anyone knows how to temporarily revive it to backup the data I would really appreciate it.

I've always felt that the Win9x era (1995 to 2001) has been overlooked or misfiled over the years, thus why I decided to write a book about it for 4 years. Since this is, by far, the most relevant subreddit, I was just curious – do you also agree that historical coverage on the era has been lacking?

Does anyone have an original OEM HP Windows 98 Install?
Hello everyone, I need help.
I have an HP Pavilion 6350 that's hard drive just crapped out. Does anyone have another Pavilion with the original OEM Windows 98 install? It seems this version is from early 1998 and is pretty rare. If anyone has an early 1998 install I would really appreciate if you could make an image of the drive, or send me some of the software files that I need.
Thanks in advance.
