Installing Windows 98 on a Modern Laptop
Рет қаралды 2,366,055
5 жыл бұрынJoin me on my quest to keep old software alive despite the ever-changing landscape of PC hardware! Will Windows 98 thrive on a system made twenty years later, or will it be more like an old man trying to figure out TikTok? Let's find out together!

I tried to sync up the CRT refresh rate with the camera shutter speed and this was the best I could get, I have a feeling the camera's 1/60 is actually more like 1/59.3242 or something. Also I wonder how well those specs for "your $3,000 gaming rig" will age lul. Also sorry about the weird mic noises in some of the clips in the second half, I was trying a new recording setup and it sucks.

Few things to mention. You CAN make the USB work in Windows 98, there are universal USB storage drivers available. Also you can play with Novell Netware for DOS/Windows, ODI drivers were universal at that time and theoretically could work with any Ethernet adapter. Also there were all sort of audio drivers and tweaks that can make your Windows sound-aware, even using the internal speaker. Not that all this is worth the effort. :)

Hey, I think I know about the battery usage: Old DOS didn't really use interrupts for the CPU, so they where 100% even while idle (wonders of having really low power hungry processors). Windows 98 actually supported power management, only detects it automatically in APM machines... You can force the setup option /p j and force ACPI and that high juicy battery life (not compatible with Windows 95)

It was similiar with XP - on some PCs it took 30-40 minutes to install, on other 3-6 hours. As to not talking about ME or 2000, the latter was for workstations, not for PCs, so not many people had even seen it (my first contact was in 2012, when I had to make a new medical treadmill work with an old medical workstation). I don't know, how it was in the west, but in a country from the Warsaw Pact replacing OS every 2-3 years was not an option because it was too expensive. That's why most PCs had Windows 98 SE, Windows 98 or even Windows 95 installed until XP-era. I've seen ME only once, when my younger cousins got a PC and I was asked to set it up. There was a preinstalled Windows ME and it crashed (BSOD) 15 minutes after first launch. After 2-3 hours I've installed them Windows 98 SE and I wasn't needed until they wanted me to install Windows XP on their PC.

@@michamarkowski2204 It was the same around here for a little while, many companies would run old operating systems through fear of breaking things. I remember servicing a very large Bank and they had Windows NT on some work stations around 2003-4 and hospitals or local GP's were the same. Around 2000 was when they started to produce factory built PCs to sell to every day families and that created Windows Millennium Edition, companies like Time PC or Tiny PC eventually most of these went bust. ME barely ever worked, we always used to install 98SE over it for reliability. Good times, I found it more interesting working with PC's in that era. I can't stand Windows 10.
@andrew_koala2974 3 жыл бұрын
ChemiiOneLegacy Windows ME was not for me. Windows 2000 certainly was. I stayed with Windows XP for quite a while before jumping onto the Windows 7 Bandwaggon. Windows XP was easier to customize than Windows 7, besides which I had to write my own Scanner drivers for Windows XP to use the $1500 UMAX Scanner, which worked very well, and I was not about to start writing a driver to make the scanner work on Windows 7, which made me stay with XP. I have since written drivers for the UMAX scanner for Windows 7 and Windows 10 64 bit, and the scanner sits unused. Being a 3 pass scanner it is slow.

Windows 98 is slow on modern hardware because of the way that Windows 98 manages RAM and CPU. It doesn't have a proper "Idle" process so it populates 100% the CPU at full bore at all times, whether it's used or not. So it freaks out when it sees way more RAM than it expects to run on. Windows 98 on a PC from the late days of XP and early days of Vista would be about the limit since they are normally had about 1 GB of RAM at the lowest would be about the limit of what could be effectively ran. If you add an app that applies the Idle process, it will run properly. something about ACPI or something like that has to be fixed to make it work right. Virtualbox has this issue as well. Heck a Netbook makes Windows 98 run like lightning. but that's because most only came with 1 GB and had low resolution screens.

1:51 Actually it is possible to have up to 3.3 GB of RAM in Windows 98 (like in any 32-bit Windows). Back in 2008, some hacking was done in Germany on a third-party Windows 98 memory patch to remove elements of copy-protection or proprietary installation and convert the files into fully portable, fully distributable working versions. In early 2014, some mention of these hacked files was made on certain english-language web-forums, and the link from which these files could be downloaded was discovered. The files in question are replacements for VMM32.vxd and VMM.vxd. They allow Windows 98 to boot and run on systems with huge amounts of RAM, and make use of up to 3.3 GB of RAM. I myself had installed Windows 98 on a machine with 20 GB of RAM and it's been running with little to no problems. The only side-effect of using these files as-is, is that when you get BSOD errors, the text of the errors is written in German, and not English. Here is a link to these files (vmm98sed.zip): www.freora.de/index.php?option=com_docman&task=license_result&gid=3&bid=3&Itemid=52

You can hack the registry to make some Win2K drivers work on Win98. It is literally a case of installing the driver and the editing the registry entries to rename references to Win2k as Win98. It was discovered as a way to get older hardware to run in 2k but surprisingly, it worked in reverse in many cases. Don't ask for a link - I found the instructions on a BBS back in the day and had to print them out. LOL

At any rate I stumbled across this video and found it entertaining and educational... and nostalgic. You do a good job of explaining and really follow through. I will subscribe to your channel as I think you have a lot of talent and creativity and personality, I expect to find more worthwhile videos. Hopefully you'll gain some sort of payback in the future.

Had dual boot with Windows XP and Windows 98. XP for me , 98 for my father since he is bit of old school. Man I played games, learned many stuff on that little machine man. It is pretty nostalgic for even to hear the word Windows 98 now. Thanks for the video.

VERY entertaining and informative. I found myself here after trying to plug an old QUANTUM 5.4 BIGFOOT HDD with Win98 into a T5082 eMachine (came with vista but now has win7). After getting the typical errors about out of memory and initialization blah blah , I thought I had a chance....until I saw your creative tutorial video. Sigh, I guess it's on to VB now. My reason for trying to get this to work is to play an old USNV97 CDRom game that used to play flawlessly on an old 1995 home built system until I got a strange low battery error on boot up. And the motherboard had NO battery. It must have been built into one of the chips. Seriously though, thanks for making this video . You are a funny, creative, and knowledgeable utuber. I wish you were my neighbor.
