Windows 98

On less powerful processors, such as the Pentium II, Windows 2000 offers a significant speed advantage. However, Windows XP has better support for multi-threading and multi-processing, which makes it faster than Windows 2000 on newer processors.

Fdisk.

Windows 98 cd's are not bootable (for the most part) so in order to partition a new hard disk in preparation of a windows 98 install, you will need to make a boot floppy (or boot CD, or USB) which will enable you to partition and format the disk for windows install.

Follow the link below for some disk images, utilities, and workarounds for the windows 98 bootdisk dilemma.

If you have the hardware to support Windows 98 you can use Microsoft Virtual PC to install multiple Operating Systems that run on your current OS.

Microsoft Virtual PC software is free; it is just a shell however that allows you install Operating Systems just as you would on a new hard drive, provided you have a valid OS on disk like Windows 98. You can download Virtual PC at Microsoft's official website.

You may be asking how to install a dual boot system with Windows 98 and Windows 2000. If this is what you're trying to accomplish then you will need to know that you must install Windows 98 on its own Primary partition. Each operating system must be installed on its own partition. If you have a hard disk that has only a single partition, you have several options available.

1. You could reformat your current hard drive after backing up all your important files and re-install your operating systems and partition your hard drive into 2 Primary partitions.

Windows will only allow a Primary partition to be made bootable; Windows will not allow Logical partitions of an Extended partition to be made bootable so you cannot install Windows on a Logical partition. An operating system like Linux will allow Logical partitions to be made bootable. -- Meaning you must create at least 2 Primary partitions to install a dual boot system with Windows.

Also you can only create up to 4 Primary partitions on a single hard drive. Or you can create up to 3 Primary partitions and 1 Extended partition.

Also you must know that the native files systems for Windows 98 and 2000 are not the same. Windows 98's native file system is FAT32 and Windows 2000 is NTFS. FAT32 cannot see an NTFS partition; however NTFS can read a FAT32 partition. The boot sector must be able to be read by both OS's. Which means the boot sector must be on a common file system between both OS's; FAT32 in this case. Installing Windows 98 first will install a FAT32 boot sector and will be able to be read by Windows 2000 after it is installed. This way the system will dual boot correctly.

On another note DO NOT INSTALL Windows98 after Windows 2000 has already been installed. Your system will not dual boot correctly; you will overwrite the boot sector. Remember Windows 98 cannot see an NTFS partition, by default Windows 2000 creates an NTFS boot sector, since Windows 98 cannot see an NTFS partition it will overwrite the boot sector and your system will not dual boot correctly.

Not all Windows versions can dual boot together. To see the supported dual boot configurations and more info on dual booting see related links.

2. Your other option; which is perhaps the best choice for what you are trying to accomplish is simply hook up another hard drive inside your PC case and you will be able to configure a dual boot system much easier and won't have to reformat your current hard drive. On a side note, you cannot use an external hard drive to boot to an Windows NT operating system, such as a Windows OS later than Windows 98. You will receive an error and the system will not boot! However, you can install an open source operating system such as Linux or Unix and have it boot to an external hard drive. Also Linux/Unix operating systems will even boot to a USB stick.

There are a few differences between Windows Mobile 6.0 and 6.1, the most noticeable being:

- The texting application is now displayed in a more modern, conversation-like form
- There are performance and efficiency improvements, some of which you might not ever see
- The OS is preloaded with new music
- In many devices, there will be an interface change on the home screen. With HTC touch screen devices, it might come with an optional grid-like plugin for the Today Screen (home screen), allowing you to more efficiently manage information. On non-touchscreen devices, a modern new interface called "Titanium" is implemented on the Today Screen (home screen), allowing for sleek content organization.
- On some phones, functionality is improved. An example is the AT&T Tilt, receiving the once absent feature of PTT or Push To Talk
- An over all improve on menu/inbox performance


There are many more changes between the two OS's. If you have any questions, email me at gustavoser@hotmail.com, as I myself upgraded my AT&T Tilt from 6.0 to 6.1.

This is quite a complicated question! In many ways, Vista is an improvement - DVDs are handled much better (XP doesn't really understand writing DVDs), navigation in explorer is better, finding applications is easier, multiple screen handling is better, wireless networking is better, finding applications is much quicker - press start and type the name and the application you want will pop-up instantly. With all these (and other) improvements, there is little that compels one to use Vista over XP; this is quite common with newer operating systems. When XP was released, it was a year or two before "killer" applications were released that were XP only (Photoshop CS was one such). Against Vista is the hardware requirements; 1 Gigabyte is too small to use comfortably. This is generally the case, XPs hardware requirement is much greater than Windows 98.

You CANNOT save a .MSWMM (Microsoft Windows Movie Maker) file to a flash drive or any other removable device.

The .MSWMM file must first be "Published" (Vista version) or "Finished" (XP version) in the WMM program before it can be viewed in a media player, emailed, uploaded or burned to CD/DVD. This finalizes the project by means of "mixing down" audio/video properties.

Movie Maker files that are not Published or Finished can only be viewed/edited in the Windows Movie Maker program. Here are instructions on how to Publish/Finish your WMM project so that it can be saved to a flash drive or other portable/removable device:

> With your project in the time-line view of WMM

> Click on View and Tasks, to open the task pane

> Under Publish to ---- (Windows Vista v2.6)
> Under Finish Movie (Windows Xp v2.1)

> choose - This computer

> Name the movie and select a destination to save it in ---
(Choose/make a folder to save it in that you can access easily)

> Click Next

> Select option: Best quality for playback on my computer (recommended)

> Click Publish or Finish (depending on your WMM version)


When the video is published/finished, you should be able to find it in the folder you saved it in. Click on it and it should open up in the media player you use. If it does, you have successfully Published/Finished the project.

Remember:


** A WMM project is still in "unfinished" form(.MSWMM)and can only be viewed/edited in Windows Movie Maker.

** A PUBLISHED/FINISHED WMM video is the "finalized" format.

This usually occurs after formatting or putting a new hard drive into a system and needs to be fidisked. To do this get to a dos prompt usuing a bootable floppy, type in fdisk and partition the hard drive using the on screen options (create new partition)(fat32 for windows 95/98/me ntfs for nt/xp/2000)

Basically, ME was a new coat of paint for Windows 98. It had a look similar to Windows 2000 and some added functionality over Win98, but also seemed to have a large number of reliability issues. ME was geared towards the personal computer user. Windows 2000 was developed from the Windows NT kernel, making it a far more robust platform. Since 2000 was developed more as a server operating system, it lacked some "personal" functionality, such as graphics and other function geared towards gamepley. Much of this is included in Windows XP, which is a more personal use extension of the Windows 2000 foundation.

Delete sends the file to the recycle bin. Shift + Delete destroys the file immediately and does not send it to the recycle bin.

The drivers for the mouse might be incompatible with the Windows 98 operating system.

Passwords are completely useless in Windows 98. If you would like to recover a personal profile, all you need to do is delete the password file. It will be follow the syntax of USERNAME.PWL, where [USERNAME] is the name you log in with. Just delete this file. Then log in using a blank password, and change it in the Control Panel.

Yes.

The most common symptom of Paget's disease (osteitis deformans) is nonspecific bone pain.

Typically, language is not the determining factor in developing or programming a GUI. More importantly is the application that determines the development platform you are using. At that point, language is not so much of a factor. Depending on the application and development platform, certain languages are better suited though, so once you choose your application, then you pick from the languages that are available. Still though, ease should not be a factor, but servicibility and reliability are way more important than ease of programming. If you can eliminate all other factors, than you can pick the simplest platform available, usually the highest level programming language that has everything you need is a good choice.

That said, some programmers will just go for the simplest platforms every time and try to shoehorn it into the problem they are trying to solve. Java's as popular choice for some apps, WinForms on .NET are also really simple for Windows apps, you can use various languages for that though, C# is pretty easy if you have the tools. Really depends on what you want to do for your GUI though, so there's not really one answer. You have to answer questions like, Is it a Web app, Phone app, Windows app, Apple App, or what? That really determines your programming language.

It is possible to have more than one window open.

Think of a window almost like the page of a book; in a book, you can have a page open that you are reading, and you can have another page marked with a bookmark further through the book, ready for you to go to easily.

In a similar way, an active window is a program that is in use (like the book page that you are reading) and inactive window is a program that is not in use (like the page you do not have open but have placed a bookmark for ready access).

Yes, but you have to get the OSR2 release, which came out in 1997. It includes FAT32 support, USB support, etc.

The autoexec.bat and the config.sys were files created for MS-DOS and Windows 3.x as an easy solution of loading the files required for various devices as well as the operating system to properly run. These files are required for later revisions of MS-DOS and Windows 3.x to load. Because Microsoft is trying to steer away from MS-DOS, these files are not required for Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP, or later operating systems. However, in some cases it may still be necessary for users to edit or configure these files.
