Re: Windows 98 SE QuickInstall

Posted on 2023-01-16, 16:44

So this will take an active install of 98SE and package it into an installer CD image? Couldn't you literally copy the entire folder structure of 98 to a new drive and everything will work as before, MBR not withstanding? This also can't be an actual 98 install on a HDD, it's a new virtual …

It's good usability to have a confirmation box, because you're making a very significant choice that cannot be reverted. Thanks for quoting, I assume you meant me? It's not a significant change, it's marking read a few discussions on a forum, it's not the end of the world. Even if you had the …

Minor, but still annoying (to me) is, when you click "Yes" in the "Mark forums read" window, you get a notification window "Forums have been marked read." But there's no "OK" button. You have to move the mouse cursor to the "X" to close the notification window (or press ESC on the keyboard.) So, …

If vogons.org disappears some day, all content is gone. (I didn't check archive.org.) So it's probably better to split knowledge between forums, although registering account after account for the different forums is inconvenient. "Federation" and "Fediverse" spring to my mind. Hubzilla supports …

Re: Vista build defender won't start

This is true, but a firewall does little good if you download and execute some questionable software. That is also quite true . If I was in OP's situation, instead of trying to update Windows Vista's anti-malware defenses (which is a quixotic quest, IMHO) and clean the current installation, I would …

I think you can still get latest Defender updates on Vista. You just need to download and install them manually. And Vista x64 will take even post-EOL Server 2008 SP2 updates. So you can still install current security patches on it. But you need to do a whole lot of pre-requisite update installs …

Whatever I did, did a number on my securities, it's been a long time since I've actually had to fiddle with my services to get Defender working. REgardless, I know there are no new definition updates, but I found the latest for Win7/Vista and tried to apply them, but it does nothing. Still says my …

If you mean that several people looked at Tapatalk and decided that it’s crapware, yes. It's not 'crapware'; it does a job poorly, but it's not worthless. XDA had the same opinion and thought they could do better, and they failed pretty badly. I frequent plenty of forums that support that platform, …
