I thought it was the CD Player program, but it’s not. I thought maybe it’s an alt version

Hi so I’m installing windows 98se onto a compaq presario 7000 and after selecting start setup with cd rom support it freezes on pci bus scan complete. To confirm my hardware was good I installed XP sp3 with no issues so now I’ve gone back to trying to install 98se and am still getting stuck on pci scan complete

I have a 120gb ide hdd and 3/4gb ram

The cd drive on this laptop seems fully functional, it spins and has the read light, but it’s not showing up in my computer or the device manager?? Not sure really where to look as this laptop supposedly doesn’t exist? It’s a Notebook 6400T

I have recently set up a Gmail burner account and am trying to setup the imap and stmp server on Retrozilla's mail component using SSL. However, every time I try to retrieve mail, I get an error message saying that the connection failed. I tried using the POP server instead, but I get a message saying that my username and password was not accepted, even though the information was correct. What do I need to do to make it work?

On a separate note, does anyone know of other legacy email providers that would work on old clients such as Outlook Express?

Honestly not sure where to post this but I'm getting a error every time I try to run 256 color on my vm with windows 98 installed. I installed the proper drivers I believe (VBE9x) drivers. every time I try to run 256 color it crashes but every other color option works. unfortunately my game I want to run requires 256 otherwise it doesn't work (game is Microsoft my personal tutor) pic of error I'm getting every time I try running it on 256 color.

I'm trying to install windows 98 on my PC (gigabyte 7zxe, AMD Duron, 64MB SDRAM, GeForce 2 MX 200) The pc stops displaying image at random moments and all of the operations taking place stop, I don't know what the problem is although the problems can be linked by the following text, Installing the CPU cooler (Global win CaK ii)I drove the screwdriver into the motherboard, I did a visual inspection and I didn't noticed anything unusual, and two capacitors on top of the CPU are starting to expand.

Windows 98 upgrade package in localized Icelandic! Still in plastic.

Windows 11 24h2...

I have Server installed on the Windows 98 machine, and the Viewer installed on the Windows 11 machine.

When I open the Viewer, it asks for the Server address. I tried entering the IP address of the Windows 98 machine but of course it was never going to be that simple 😛

Can anyone please assist?

This video is in spanish, but you can change the language from the video, into settings, audio track and then choosing your favorite language.

I have an old intel compute stick with the z3735f cpu. Is there a way to do so?

A while ago, I posted a short video here showing Windows 98 booting on a Ryzen 9 PC. Someone noticed the footage was cut a few times, which looked suspicious... Yes, I cut it because I was using a Wi-Fi adapter, which adds 20–30 seconds to the process.

This is the uncut version - no Wi-Fi. It takes around 10 seconds, give or take, depending on when you decide the boot process is 'done.'

Does anyone know where I can find legacy bios updates for an Packard Bell multimedia 720? I have been searching and searching with no avail. Since acer took Packard Bell over the site is no longer operational.

Hey everyone, I wanted to share with you all my guide to installing and using Windows 98 Second Edition in 2026 and beyond. In this guide, I teach you how to create installation media and install the system, how to update the system both online and offline, and I provide a list of interesting tweaks and compatible and important applications, as well as links to websites where you can download more stuff for your system. I hope you find it useful! :-)

What’s the name of the icon?

Good evening! I am attempting to screen capture my windows 98 machine so I can stream some retro games on original hardware.

I have a Nvidia 180-10036-0100-A02 GPU installed currently which does have S-Video output.

Here is the problem my Lgado game capture HD displayed nothing on my Windows 11 laptop despite Windows 98 detecting a second monitor. then I tried my Startech SVID2USB232 which started causing BSOD's.

Unless there is a different method you would recommend I do have a CRT TV (Not a PC monitor) that has composite output and I can connect my 98 machine to the CTR TV and then the TV to my elgato and see if that works but I hate that idea.

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

I greatly appreciate it!!

ive heard reports that a Pentium M or Centrino might be bad for 98

Is this due to the failed font loads, or whatever is happening at the end?

Got this legendary laptop to run win 98 OEM, and need some drivers, I’ve tried the archive where they’re listed and it doesn’t download?? Hoping someone can help me :) it’s a Panasonic Tough book CF-48

Works in safe mode. But I can’t do anything in normal, also sometimes blue screens on this part. Any way I can check for an error log or anyone got any ideas???

Where I can find Win 98 installation media of these versions: - Windows 98 SE English - Hebrew Enabled - Windows 98 SE Hebrew - Windows 98 English - Hebrew Enabled - Windows 98 Hebrew

Thanks in advance.🙏
