OS Exploration #1: Windows 98 (Part 1)

[NeonAcrylics]

I always used to play computer games on this computer. It always took forever to start up, however.. I would get scared waiting for it to load in our creepy basement.

[heartofmusic27]

0:18-0:41- I love that song and used to hear that all the time on Windows 98. Does anyone remember where on Windows 98 you can hear that song? I don't remember.

[CrashManEXE]

@heartofmusic27 - It appears in the "Welcome to Windows 98" application.

[Robloxisepic777]

i still have a 98 but no internet

[marnky887]

I was a kid when my dad bought his first pc with win 98

loved it alot

[ModTheSims100]

When this OS came out, I wasn't even born yet!

[wtfboom73]

5:57 wasilewski injury! that's why win 98 does not like rsc anderlecht!

[MasterOfMonopoly]

i want to go back to 2000 when the first time i used windows 98 and plus in 2002 but in 2007 i was sad because my windows 98 was old

[MasterOfMonopoly]

whats that song 3:31 to 3:54

[CrashManEXE]

@MasterOfMonopoly  - It's "I'm A Scatman" by Scatman John :P

[Servonix]

Why would you delete your ISO? Not enough disk space?

[CrashManEXE]

@Servonix - Where did I mention that? =\

[robloxlover55]

windows 98 was on my very first virtual machine ive ever done

[fatbob2011]

[emilner5]

I changed my XP startup to the 98 one.

[Translink1001]

you love tetris?

[CrashManEXE]

@Translink1001 Of course. Who doesn't? :P

[FurryMutt]

This brings back good times. I still have an old computer like this in my basement, but the only thing I use it for is collecting dust xD

[xXThePCGuruXx]

How Did You Get Internet On The Virtual Machine?

Is It Wireless???

[CrashManEXE]

"The internet connection is basically shared with your own connection."

Just what I said to BanjoSonic five months ago when he was wondering the same thing.

[RedSuperSonicNinja0]

0:50 The sound of Nostalgia

[HYAAALP]

Ah, this was my first computer.

[poopskinTheLiar]

I just picked up a old IBM Aptiva for my collection (as a birthday gift), and after getting it a new hard drive to replace the mysteriously absent old one, installing 98 and installing video drivers for my only spare monitor, it runs great.

Of course, the thing has 128mb RAM and a AMD duron, so it would run well. (it did have a K6, apparently, but the old owner upgraded it to a duron. Kind of like running 98 on a pentium III, but whatever.)

[CrashManEXE]

I had an IBM Aptiva also, and I had it for like a few years before I got a brand new WinXP computer near the end of 2003.

[thiefrules]

i have it at my old school's library

[MegaBubbles31]

damn i used that when I was like 5 lol

[SpaceNinja88]

I have used 98 ONLY in the school. I had ME at home... D:

[schoolfilmer]

I used this a LOT when I was younger!

[emilner5]

@schoolfilmer I used to use this until I moved on to 2000 and XP.

[MattMc2]

Ah, Windows 98, I used to remember I had this, I miss the good old days. =(

[Clamper02]

I miss the good old days too. They were so much better!

[MattMc2]

Right now I still have an XP, and my laptop is a Vista.

[Hauntzor]

Oh man, this takes me back...

[casatodototal]

i installed a windows 98... in complete japanese xDDD

if you know the games you will know why i did it :P

[ivanelmasterzx]

it remembers me the computer i threw 2 years ago

[Blackboarder77]

My first OS was windows 98, bought second hand in 99. The thing broke rather fast and we got a computer running Me, I was in that hellhole for 6 years, now I have a win XP comp.

[SkieLuluMUGEN]

I had a Windows 95 for the longest time. :D

[CrashManEXE]

How long for? And let me guess... you never used Windows 98?

[SkieLuluMUGEN]

Until about 2001/2002 when we switched to a very low-memory Windows XP (which we still have, too).

I have never used 98, no. :P

[CrashManEXE]

My old WinXP computer had low memory... 256MB. Although its memory doubled when I got a new memory card but it got damaged afterwards. For this new WinXP I currently use, it has 4GB memory.

[Quadunit404]

I had Windows 95 instead of Windows 98.

But mah first OS was MS-DOS lol

[PerryMason123]

What was the third sound file you opened? I actually liked it, and the on-comp text is a bit hard to read.

[CrashManEXE]

It was the boss music from Journey To Silius.

[PerryMason123]

Thanks :)

I still should get round to checking that game out. I'm told it's great.

[CrashManEXE]

Yeah it's great, but it's also tricky :P

[CrashManEXE]

Well, I did intend to draw the owl from TV Mainos's logo :P

[BanjoSonic]

How did you get internet to work on a virtual machine? I've been figuring how to do that.

[CrashManEXE]

The internet connection is basically shared with your own connection.

[sonicfan966]

Coincidently, My friend just got Windows 98 running on Virtual Box *Sun Technology's Virtual Computer software* the other day.

[RedSuperSonicNinja0]

Awesome sause =) I think this was my first OS.

[kokody1995]

YAY! YOU GOT BLUE WALLPAPER!!!! I love blue colour =D

[CrashManEXE]

Yeah. It looks better than the default teal one :)

[N0obyN0ob]

My school is cheap and some Comps are still Windows 98.

[CrashManEXE]

As far as I know, the computers in my school were still running on Windows 2000. Don't know if they still use that or have they been upgraded to XP. I'll go with the latter.

[TrooperKoopa]

i had this a few years ago...before we got rid of our second computor

[fsvgm777]

I remember Windows 98 as well. I was 6-7 years old back then. Sadly, the old computer doesn't work anymore due to a HDD failure, but I still remember those days. My favourite sound scheme was the Musica scheme (which also has to be installed from the original Windows 98 CD). The Windows 98 version I had was the Standard Edition.
