Seems like after all there is a dependency hell for windows, too. It's a slower, but more thorough kind of cancer. Trying to download an older version of opera (opera 9 works) with internet explorer 5 is impossible because of web standards. The windows update web site creates a redirection loop. IE does no not even try to render some sites, instead there's a neat error popup. The shitty graphic card can't do 1600x1200. Lots of Installers of modern software use functions which are not available in win98's dlls (even though the program itself would possibly run fine). I successfully installed Half-Life, but it has been patched too far so support the feature I'm seeking out.
This is what only runs on windows 98 and why I'm going through all the mess: http://toni.org/a3d/ "flame.exe is an executable file. For security reasons, Google Mail does not allow you to send this type of file." - oh may
