Hi all,
I've read everywhere that Opera 9.xx is the latest browser that is going to work under Windows 98 and ME, but after installed the INSTMSIA package (Windows Installer) found in an unofficial ME service pack I'm now able to install and use also Opera 10.10.
Is it ok or I've installed Kernelex without even know it? How to check if Kernel files were updated?
Thank
Bye

Opera 10.63 works in Win98SE/WinME w/o any KernelEx. The only trouble is - you must update Win98SE msimg32.dll for transparency effects.
I will test Opera 11.x later.
