Yes,thats right he fucks it up.
I'm talking about my WMP7.1. I insert cd and I receive a stack error,fair enough.Then I am told I need to update to WMP9.Okay I try it it doesn't work,some error message about cannot update.
So I figure fuck it lets install WinAmp instead,so off I go and d'l WinAmp (which is a terrible piece of software).
Then I try 3 times to Uninstall WMP7.1 no sucess,I can't uninstall.
So I seek Support,they tell me its a design fault (whats new?) and they tell me I need ti install the lastest player WMP9!Which to my joy doesn't work again!
So I'm left with the basic built in cd player or Win98SE and I have to play Mp3s on a very unfuctional WMP7.1.
Once again Bill Gates and his Microsoft chronies,I thank you.
"Microsoft Works" yeah right!
I had to get that out of my sytem,and I have to get WMP out of it too.

Quite a few spelling mistakes in that post,mainly because I wrote it in frustration.

Yes in my opinion WinAmp 2 is better than 3, purely because all I want from it is the ability to play music. It is small, quick and excellent quality, and you can get some well funky skins for it :D

As I understand it, Nullsoft knows how badly Winamp 3 sucks and is rolling some of the better features into the Winamp 2 code base. Eventually that will be the version to become the new winamp 3, or 4, or however they decide to number it.

They'll number it 2.2 or something so people recognize that its not some shitty 3 upgrade.
Oh and get WinAmp2 instead.

i use win98se and winamp2, and theyre really quite stable. thats because I have tweaked the system to remove all the crap. I use it purely for music, and I'm very careful about what I install, and have a registry backup for when I need to do some disk editing with a 'scalpel'.
to fix your problem, copy all the stuff you need to a new partition/disk/cd/other, re-install win98 and dont bother with any 'background' programs, custom backgrounds, themes,etc.
on a slightly different subject to stop crashes, which my mate was getting on win98(due to heat probs on cpu), I packed my motherboard with about 7 fans I salvaged from powersupplies. The celeron400mhz has a fan on chip, fan to blow in the case.fan to extract.fan blowing on motherboard.fan blowing on 60gig.fan blowing on psu and fan for upper drive bays(cdroms)....and no crashes, so re-install and get some fans is my advice...oh and get BeOS :)

bravo! something constructive and not the same bill/microsoft/windows=shit...
i would like to see you try to make the OS EVERYONE uses and make it stable with EVERY programs ever encoded and those not programmed yet...
I'm using win98 from the start, the only time my comp is crashing it's because of cracked software, and i didn't even do what dave did... can't be bothered...=)
