Yes, this is the easiest way to connect to mcsi.net and the way that we recommend the most. Review the manuals or on-line documentation for Dial up Networking.

Click Start, then move the mouse cursor to Settings, then click Control Panel, then double-click Display, then click the Settings tab. Adjusting the slider bar generally tells you what you need to know about your video system's capabilities right away. Not necessarily. Many video cards have room for more memory chips. Sometimes adding RAM to your video card can increase the video card's display capabilities.

PicoZip requires newer versions of some system files that came with Windows 95/98. These system files may have been updated if you installed newer versions of some software such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0, etc. If you install PicoZip and it does not work properly, please see Questions 3, 4 and 5. Note that this does not affect later versions of Windows such as Windows 98, Windows ME, WindowsXP, etc.

The CYBERKEY cannot be partitioned using DOS or Windows 95 because it is not supported by these Operating Systems. On Win 98, you can partition the CYBERKEY by using any Windows or Macintosh supported utilities or software.

The user authentication (i.e. password verification) is validated by the system, first when connecting via the dial up access point and also when connecting to the mail server for sending/receiving messages. In case either the login name or the password is incorrectly entered, the system displays the most general message without any details, which is done for security reasons.

Install Windows 95/98 first, after that FreeBSD. FreeBSD's boot manager will then manage to boot Win95/98 and FreeBSD. If you install Windows 95/98 second, it will boorishly overwrite your boot manager without even asking. If that happens, see the next section.

Yes. Windows XP has Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) which allows sharing of a single internet connection.

Running DOS, go into the tools/ directory of your FreeBSD distribution and look for bootinst.exe. You run it like so: ...\TOOLS> bootinst.exe boot.bin Boot the FreeBSD boot floppy again and go to the Custom installation menu item. Choose Partition. Select the drive which used to contain your boot manager (likely the first one) and when you come to the partition editor for it, as the very first thing (e.g. do not make any changes) select (W)rite.

Second, untar the decompressed file using a shareware tar utility. Place the ThoughtTreasure distribution in a convenient location on your hard disk such as C:\ThoughtTreasure. Click on the [Properties] icon. (In Windows 95/98, if you place the cursor on an icon, its name will be displayed underneath it.) Exit the MS-DOS window because the changes made do not take effect until a new MS-DOS window is started.

Download and install DJGPP version 2.01 or higher. DJGPP is a complete C/C++ development system for PCs that includes ports of many GNU development utilities including the gcc compiler. A makefile is present in the src directory of the ThoughtTreasure distribution. Edit the makefile for your platform, as explained in the makefile.

Make sure ThoughtTreasure is installed and compiled. (See "How do I install ThoughtTreasure under Windows 95/98?" and "How do I compile ThoughtTreasure under Windows 95/98?")

Printed documentation comes with Windows 95/98, as well as some documentation on the CD-ROM. Help files are available from the Start menu. The Windows 95 Resource Kit contains in-depth information on Windows 95. It's available at bookstores and software stores. World Wide Web support for Windows 95/98 is at: http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/ http://www.microsoft.com/windows98/

In the one case I have been able to examine, following the steps in the question above (10.2.3) solved the problem.

In the sole case that I have been able to examine, following the instructions above (Q. 12.2.2) allowed the game to run.

Yes. Right click on a shortcut of the program -> properties -> compatibility and check Run in compatibility mode.

No. PortsLock only works on Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP and it is impossible to install it on Windows 95/98 or Windows Me. However, if you would like to have user-level access control for TCP/IP connections on Windows 9x/Me, you can take a look at a third-party product - Internet Access Scheduler developed by Shatran Software.

No. Windows Me is designed to replace Windows 95 and 98. You can, however dual boot Windows Me with Windows 2000, or use a third party utility, such as System Commander or BootIt Direct, if you wish to dual boot Windows Me with Win9x.

I ran the vncserver program and got a 'Number found where operator expected', 'prototype mismatch' or 'out of memory' message. I started the X server using vncserver, but it dies with a message "Could not open default font 'fixed'. " I get errors like "failed to bind listener" and "Failed to establish all listening sockets" in the log file.

Possibly, depending on your hardware and installation. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it crashes as soon as you run it. You may have better luck if you set the following settings for the MS-DOS session that the game will run in (right click on CDSHOCK.BAT or SSHOCK.BAT, depending on which version of the game you're running) and select Properties.)

The PCAUSA SNTRANS project is an example NDIS 3.1 PROTOCOL virtual device driver for Windows 95. SNTRANS is written in the 'C' programming language specifically for VtoolsD for VxD framework, and provides a basic empty shell for developing your own protocol driver. SNTRANS is functional only to the extent that it registers the SNTRANS protocol and automatically binds to one MAC adapter, and unbinds when the driver is unloaded. No other functionality is provided in the sample.

In general IRDA ports provide a 3-4 ft range for the Mindpath Remote. A better option would be to use the Mindpath External IR receiver which provides upto a 50 ft range. To configure your laptop's IrDA Port for use with the Mind Path Remote, first go into the BIOS of the system and enable the Infrared Port on Com1 or an open Com Port. (Note: If you do not know how to enter your computer BIOS, contact your computer manufacturer.

Some Windows 95/98 users seem to have very slow logon times, as long as two or three minutes. The symptom is that Windows 95/98 will dial the number, successfully verify username and password, and then seem to hang for a very long time at the 'Logging on to Network' phase before completing the connection. The cause is that Windows 95/98 is attempting to negotiate a connection with several network clients and protocols that are enabled by default for Dial-up Networking.

The resolutions available in the Windows display properties are dependent on two things, what the driver supports and what the monitor supports. The resolutions for your display adapter are defined in the Windows registry when a device driver is installed. The resolutions for your monitor is a little bit different. Information for your monitor is dependent on how it is defined in display properties. In the 'Advanced..

No, Curtain does not support Windows 95/98. To run Curtain e-locker, the workstation must be Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows 2003.

Not at this point. We are planning to port GeoWorlds to Windows 98, but this has been a low priority task compared with the otehr commits we have so far. Moreover, all our customers and beta testers use Windows NT machines.
