Besides Internet Explorer, many other Internet companion applications are included such as, and a Web Publishing Wizard, and (which was replaced by 6.2 in Windows 98 Second Edition). The Windows 98 integrates all of the enhancements from, an Internet Explorer 4 component, such as the Quick Launch toolbar, deskbands, ability to minimize foreground windows by clicking their button on the taskbar, single click launching, Back and Forward navigation buttons, favorites, and address bar in, image thumbnails, folder infotips and web view in folders, and folder customization through -based templates. Another feature of this new shell is that dialog boxes now show up in the Alt-Tab sequence. Windows 98 also integrates shell enhancements, themes and other features from such as 3, Compression Agent, Dial-Up Networking Server, Dial-Up Scripting Tool and. Is included on the CD-ROM but not installed by default.
Windows 98 had its own separately purchasable Plus! Title bars of windows and dialog boxes now support two-color. Windows menus and tooltips now support slide animation.
Windows Explorer in Windows 98, like, converts all uppercase filenames to for readability purposes; however, it also provides an option Allow all uppercase names to display them in their original case. Windows Explorer includes support for compressed files. The Quick Res and Telephony Location Manager Windows 95 PowerToys are integrated into the core operating system. Improvements to hardware support Windows Driver Model. Main article: Windows 98 was the first operating system to use the (WDM). This fact was not well publicized when Windows 98 was released, and most hardware producers continued to develop drivers for the older driver standard, which Windows 98 supported for compatibility's sake.
The WDM standard only achieved widespread adoption years later, mostly through and, as they were not compatible with the older VxD standard. Windows Driver Model was introduced largely so that developers would write drivers that were with future versions of Windows. Device driver access in WDM is actually implemented through a VxD device driver, NTKERN.VXD which implements several -specific kernel support functions.
NTKERN creates and sends them to WDM drivers. Support for WDM audio enables digital mixing, routing and processing of simultaneous audio streams and with high quality on Windows 98. WDM Audio allows for software emulation of legacy hardware to support MS-DOS games, support and.
The Windows 95 11-device limitation for MIDI devices is eliminated. A Microsoft Wavetable Synthesizer licensed from shipped with Windows 98 for WDM audio drivers. Windows 98 supports digital playback of, and the Second Edition improves WDM audio support by adding DirectSound and DirectSound 3D hardware abstraction, kernel support, sample-rate conversion (SRC) for capture streams and multichannel audio support.
All audio is sampled by the Kernel Mixer to a fixed sampling rate which may result in some audio getting upsampled or downsampled and having a high latency, except when using Kernel Streaming or third-party audio paths like which allow unmixed audio streams and lower latency. Windows 98 also includes a WDM streaming ( Stream.sys) to address real time multimedia data stream processing requirements and a WDM kernel-mode video transport for enhanced video playback and capture. Windows Driver Model also includes, the backbone for TV technologies support in Windows. For Windows utilized BDA to allow viewing television on the computer if a is installed. TV listings could be updated from the Internet and WaveTop Data Broadcasting allowed extra data about broadcasts to be received via regular television signals using an antenna or cable, by embedding data streams into the (VBI) portion of existing broadcast television signals. USB Windows 98 had more robust support (e.g. Support for ) than Windows 95 which only had support in OEM versions (OSR2.1 or later).
Windows 98 supports, USB scanners and imaging class devices. Windows 98 also introduces built-in support for some (USB HID) and PID class devices such as USB mice, keyboards, force feedback joysticks etc. Including additional keyboard functions through a certain number of Consumer Page HID controls. USB audio device class support is present from Windows 98 SE onwards.
Windows 98 Second Edition improved WDM support in general for all devices, and it introduced support for WDM for modems (and therefore USB modems and virtual ports). Microsoft driver support for both USB printers, and for is not available for Windows 98; support for both was introduced in Windows 2000; however generic third party free drivers are available today for USB MSC devices. ACPI Windows 98 introduced 1.0 support which enabled Standby (ACPI S3) and (ACPI S4) states.
However, hibernation support was extremely limited, and vendor-specific. Hibernation was only available if compatible (PnP) hardware and are present, and the hardware manufacturer or OEM supplied compatible drivers, non- drivers. However, there are hibernation issues with the file system, making hibernation problematic and unreliable. Other device support improvements Windows 98, in general, provides improved—and a broader range of—support for IDE and SCSI drives and drive controllers, floppy drive controllers and all other classes of hardware than Windows 95. There is integrated (AGP) support (although the USB Supplement to Windows 95 OSR2 and later releases of Windows 95 did have AGP support).
Windows 98 has built-in DVD support and 1.02 read support. The Still imaging architecture (STI) with support was introduced for scanners and cameras and Image Color Management 2.0 for devices to perform transformations. Support allows using up to 8 multiple monitors and/or multiple graphics adapters on a single PC.
Windows 98 shipped with 5.2 which notably included. Windows 98 Second Edition shipped with DirectX 6.1. Networking enhancements. Main article: Windows 98 networking enhancements to include built-in support for, signing, a new IP Helper API, (APIPA) (also known as link-local addressing), (including support and – ), and performance enhancements for high-speed high bandwidth networks ( and –, –, TCP Fast Retransmit and Fast Recovery). Support with TCP/IP is improved and includes listener support.
The client has been enhanced to include address assignment conflict detection and longer timeout intervals. Configuration in the client has been improved to continue persistently querying multiple WINS servers if it failed to establish the initial session until all of the WINS servers specified have been queried or a connection is established.
Cd Rom Driver Windows 95
5.0 support means Windows 98 can support a wide range of network media, including, (FDDI), (ATM), (WANs), and. Additional features include NDIS power management, support for, and support for a single file format across all Windows versions. Windows 98 Dial-Up Networking supports tunneling, support for ISDN adapters, multilink support, and connection-time scripting to automate non-standard login connections. Multilink channel aggregation enables users to combine all available dial-up lines to achieve higher transfer speeds. Connection logs can show actual packets being passed and Windows 98 allows PPP logging per connection.
The Dial-Up Networking improvements are also available in Windows 95 OSR2 and downloadable for earlier Windows 95 releases. For networked computers that have user profiles enabled, Windows 98 introduces Microsoft Family Logon which lists all users that have been configured for that computer, enabling users to simply select their names from a list rather than having to type it in. The same feature can be added to Windows 95 if is installed. Windows 98 supports 3.0 that specifies both Serial Infrared Devices (SIR) and Fast Infrared (FIR) devices, which are capable of sending and receiving data at 4 Mbit/s.
Infrared Recipient, a new application for transferring files through an infrared connection is included. The IrDA stack in Windows 98 supports networking profiles over the IrCOMM kernel-mode driver. Windows 98 also has built-in support for browsing trees on shares. Windows 98 Second Edition added ( and capabilities).
Later supported NAT traversal by means of. UPnP and NAT traversal APIs can also be installed on Windows 98 by installing the Network Setup Wizard.
An client can also be downloaded. By installing Active Directory Client Extensions, Windows 98 can take advantage of several Windows 2000 features. Improvements to the system and built-in utilities Performance improvements Windows 95 introduced the 32-bit, protected-mode cache driver, VCACHE replacing SMARTDrv to cache the most recently accessed information from the hard drive in memory, divided into chunks.
However, the cache parameters needed manual tuning as it degraded performance by consuming too much memory and not releasing it quickly enough, forcing paging to occur far too early. The Windows 98 VCACHE cache size management for disk and network access, CD-ROM access and paging is more dynamic compared to Windows 95 resulting in no tuning required for cache parameters. On the FAT32 file system, Windows 98 has a performance feature called MapCache that can run applications from the disk cache itself if the code pages of executable files are aligned/mapped on 4K boundaries, instead of copying them to virtual memory. This results in more memory being available to run applications, and lesser usage of the swap file. Windows 98 registry handling is more robust than Windows 95 to avoid corruption and there are several enhancements to eliminate limitations and improve registry performance. The Windows 95 registry key size limitation of 64 KB is gone. The registry uses less memory and has better caching.
WinAlign (Walign.exe and Winalign.exe) are tools designed to optimize the performance of executable code (binaries). WinAlign aligns binary sections along 4 KB boundaries, aligning the executable sections with the memory pages. This allows the Windows 98 MapCache feature to map directly to sections in cache. Walign.exe is included in Windows 98 for automatically optimizing Microsoft Office programs. Winalign.exe is included in the Windows 98 Resource Kit to optimize other programs. Has been improved to rearrange program files that are frequently used to a hard disk region optimized for program start. Windows 98 also supports a Fast Shutdown feature that initiates shutdown without uninitializing.
Windows 98 supports write-behind caching for removable disk drives. A converter utility for converting drives to FAT32 without formatting the partition is also included.
Other system tools A number of improvements are made to various other system tools and accessories in Windows 98. Microsoft Backup supports differential backup and devices in Windows 98., a new tool, enables users to clear their disks of unnecessary files. Cleanup locations are extensible through Disk Cleanup handlers. Disk Cleanup can be automated for regular silent cleanups.
Scanreg (DOS) and ScanRegW are Registry Checker tools used to back up, restore or optimize the. ScanRegW tests the registry's integrity and saves a backup copy each time Windows successfully boots. The maximum amount of copies could be customized by the user through 'scanreg.ini' file. The restoration of a registry that causes Windows to fail to boot can only be done from DOS mode using ScanReg.
System Configuration Utility (also known as ) is a new system utility used to disable programs and services that are not required to run the computer. A Maintenance Wizard is included that schedules and automates, Disk Defragmenter and., with and engines is built-in and upgradeable to version 5.6. Checks installed versions of system files to ensure they were the same version as the one installed with Windows 98 or newer. Corrupt or older versions are replaced by the correct versions. This tool was introduced to resolve the issue and was replaced in.
The Windows 98 Startup Disk contains generic, real-mode and SCSI CD-ROM drivers and has been preconfigured to automatically start MS-DOS mode with CD-ROM support enabled. For computers without an operating system and that do not support booting from optical drives, the Startup disk can be used to boot into MS-DOS and automatically start Windows 98 setup from the CD. A critical update notification in Windows 98 The system could be updated using. A utility to automatically notify of critical updates was later released. Windows 98 includes an improved version of the utility that collects and lists comprehensive information such as running tasks, startup programs with their command line switches, system patches, kernel driver, user drivers, DOS drivers and 16-bit modules.
Watson loaded in the system tray, whenever a software fault occurs (general protection fault, hang, etc.), Dr. Watson will intercept it and indicate what software crashed and its cause. All of the collected information is logged to the Windows DrWatson folder. Windows Report Tool takes a snapshot of system configuration and lets users submit a manual problem report along with system information to technicians. It has e-mail confirmation for submitted reports. Accessories Windows 98 includes, Accessibility Wizard and 1.1 API upgradeable to MSAA 2.0.
A new system with 15 Troubleshooting Wizards was introduced to replace. A utility to convert file systems to is provided. Users can configure the in. Supports GIF transparency. Supports a TCP/IP connection method allowing it to be used as a Telnet client. Supports output to a log file. Miscellaneous improvements.
(TAPI) 2.1. version 1.2.
Ability to list fonts by similarity determined using information. Autocad 2013 keygen xforce download free. Tools to automate setup such as Batch 98 and INFInst.exe support error-checking, gathering information automatically to create an directly from the registry of the machine, customizing IE4, shell and desktop settings and adding custom drivers. Several other tools are included on the Windows 98 CD. Windows 98 has new system event sounds for low battery alarm and critical battery alarm. The Windows 98 startup sound was composed by Ken Kato. Windows 98 shipped with and preinstalled.
Windows 98 Second Edition. Windows 98 Second Edition Upgrade (for Windows 3.1x/95) box cover Windows 98 Second Edition (often shortened to SE) is an updated release of Windows 98, released on May 5, 1999. It includes fixes for many minor issues, improved WDM audio and modem support, improved support, the replacement of with, Web Folders ( namespace extension for Windows Explorer), and related shell updates.
Also included is basic -compliant (IEEE 1394a) camcorder support (MSDV class driver) and SBP-2 support for mass storage class devices, support (if ACPI compatible drivers are present) and, which allows multiple computers on a to share a single Internet connection through. Other features in the update include DirectX 6.1 which introduced major improvements to and the introduction of, improvements to support (/ATM, /ATM and support), 6.2 replacing the older, Microsoft 3.0, and. A memory overflow issue was resolved which in the older version of Windows 98 would crash most systems if left running for 49.7 days (equal to 2 32 milliseconds). Windows 98 SE could be obtained as retail upgrade and full version packages, as well as OEM and a Second Edition Updates Disc for existing Windows 98 users. Windows 98 Second Edition did not ship with the API or 4.0 unlike the original release of Windows 98, both of these being superseded by DirectX and Windows Media Player. Name Version Release date Internet Explorer version Windows 98 4.10.1998 June 25, 1998 Windows 98 Second Edition 4.10.2222 May 5, 1999 Upgradeability Several components of the Windows 98 original release and Windows 98 Second Edition, can be updated to newer versions.

Several other components such as 3.0 SP7, 2.0, 3.01, 3.8, 5.6, 2.81 SP1, 1.5 and 4.0. is the last version of to be compatible with Windows 98. Although Windows 98 does not fully support, certain Unicode applications can run by installing the. Press demonstration The release of Windows 98 was preceded by a notable press demonstration at in April, 1998. Microsoft CEO was highlighting the operating system's ease of use and enhanced support for (PnP).
However, when presentation assistant Chris Capossela a scanner in, the operating system crashed, displaying a. Gates remarked after derisive applause and cheering from the audience, 'That must be why we're not shipping Windows 98 yet.' Video footage of this event became a popular.
Product life cycle. Percentage of Google accesses attributed to Windows 98 Microsoft planned to stop its support for Windows 98 on January 16, 2004. However, because of the continued popularity of the operating system (27% of 's page views were on Windows 98 systems during October–November, 2003), Microsoft decided to maintain support until July 11, 2006. Support for also ended on this date. Under minimized software support now the Windows 98 (SE) market share as published by had diminished slowly to 2.7%.
Windows 98 is no longer available in any form due to the terms of Java-related settlements Microsoft made with Sun Microsystems. System requirements System requirements include:. 2 66 MHz or a compatible CPU with a (Pentium processor recommended). 16 MB of RAM (24 MB recommended, it is possible to run on 8 MB machines with /nm option used during the installation process).
At least 500 MB of disk space. The amount of space required depends on the installation method and the components selected, but virtual memory and system utilities as well as drivers should be taken into consideration. Upgrading from Windows 95 (FAT16) or 3.1 (FAT): 140–400 MB (typically 205 MB). New installation (FAT32): 140–255 MB (typically 175 MB). or higher resolution monitor (640×480). CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive (floppy install is possible but slow). Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device (optional).
Users can bypass hardware requirement checks with the undocumented /NM setup switch. This allows installation on computers with processors as old as the. Windows 98 is not designed to handle more than 1.0 of RAM without changes.
Workarounds and third-party patches are available to fix this shortcoming. Both Windows 98 and Windows 98 SE have problems running on hard drives bigger than 32 GB and certain Phoenix settings. A software update fixed this shortcoming. In addition, until Windows XP with Service Pack 1, Windows was unable to handle hard drives that are over 137 GB in size with the default drivers, because of missing support. While Microsoft never officially fixed this issue, unofficial patches are available to fix this shortcoming in, although the author stated that data corruption is possible and didn't guarantee that it would work as expected.

VMware Workstation 4.5 Installing VMware Tools Installing VMware Tools The following sections describe how to install VMware Tools:. Don't Forget VMware Tools Don't Forget VMware Tools It is very important that you install VMware Tools in the guest operating system. With the VMware Tools SVGA driver installed, Workstation supports significantly faster graphics performance. The VMware Tools package provides support required for shared folders and for drag and drop operations. Other tools in the package support synchronization of time in the guest operating system with time on the host, automatic grabbing and releasing of the mouse cursor, copying and pasting between guest and host, and improved mouse performance in some guest operating systems. The installers for VMware Tools for Windows, Linux, FreeBSD and NetWare guest operating systems are built into VMware Workstation as ISO image files. (An ISO image file looks like a CD-ROM to your guest operating system and even appears as a CD-ROM in Windows Explorer.
You do not use an actual CD-ROM to install VMware Tools, nor do you need to download the CD-ROM image or burn a physical CD-ROM of this image file.) VMware Tools for Windows supports Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 guest operating systems. When you choose VM Install VMware Tools from the VMware Workstation menu, VMware Workstation temporarily connects the virtual machine's first virtual CD-ROM drive to the ISO image file that contains the VMware Tools installer for your guest operating system and you are ready to begin the installation process. VMware Tools for Windows Guests VMware Tools for Windows Guests The detailed steps for installing VMware Tools depend on the version of Windows you are running.
The steps that follow show how to install VMware Tools in a Windows XP guest. Some steps that are automated in newer versions of Windows must be performed manually in Windows 9x and Windows NT. Note: If you are running VMware Workstation on a Windows host, and your virtual machine has only one CD-ROM drive, the CD-ROM drive must be configured as an IDE or SCSI CD-ROM drive. It cannot be configured as a generic SCSI device. To add an IDE or SCSI CD-ROM drive, see. For information about generic SCSI, see.
