Update: Windows 98se Service Pack 1.5

[Bad Company]

Ok, Microsoft never made a service pack for 98, but here is one made by another company. It's got all the updates and alot of driver fixes etc.

Find it there :y:

Good luck to all those still using 98... Suckers :D

[The Destroyer]

Suckers? Yeah, we're real suckers for sticking with an OS that hasn't had numerous major security flaws exploited in it over the last year or so. :p

Have to wonder what MS think of this...

[Bad Company]

Destroyer, The reason 98 hasn't had any info about security flaws released is because Microsoft no longer support it.
As a Network Administrator Windows 2000/XP is a hell of alot more secure than 98 will ever be, I could get into details but really can't be bothered.
98 is good for PCs that arent quick enough to run 2K/XP, but if you can run better, why stay in the past? :p

I'd say microsoft doesnt really care, as they are just bundling the microsoft patches with a bunch of other stuff.

[The Destroyer]

XP would probably make my PC explode anyway. Old piece of crap that it is.

I was refering to stuff like the numerous worms that didn't affect 98 and down, just the NT family and XP...

[Bad Company]

Yeah, that was always a good thing about 98. And DOS :D

I hope it fixed my audio dilemma with quicktime.

doubt it tho

[Bad Company]

have you got the latest drivers for your sound card?

[Ninti the Mad]

It's an old Creative Live card.

I dont think theyve made a driver for that card in ages. At least, I couldnt find any.

Recommend me a good sound card incase this sound card cant be fixed. Nothing too fancy because I dont think an over the hill sound card in nessecary. :kiss:

[Bad Company]

wow, you're right
I just checked and they havent made drivers since may 2000.

That page has creative cards on it, I recommend them. Nice and user friendly.
I'd go for the audigy 2 PCI if you can afford it, with a good set of speakers it would own. It's $72.
Or otherwise go for the Audigy ES, it's the one between the live and the audigy 2 as far as age goes. Still a good card.

[Ninti the Mad]

WHat's so special about the Audigy 2 PCI?

I have some awesome speakers. :cool:

[Bad Company]

Well to start things off the Audigy 2 will have better driver support for more years to come because it's newer :)
I just asked a friend who has had both, and he says you wont notice the difference.
Get the Audigy
