Ive tried Window blinds and ive had a look on google and couldnt find a thing.

I had to try an older version of Window blinds because the newer version only runs on win2k/xp.

i just want to have a little play around with my windows system.

i dont think its illeagal (correct me if im wrong)

cheers

Sam.

What exactly is it you are trying to do? I've heard that you can download a skin which gives W98 the look and feel of AmigaOS. This sort of thing?

A quick Google for 'Skins for Windows 98' comes up with some interesting stuff.

Win98 isn't as skinable as say XP or OS4, and most skin programs take up resources as well big time..

You may also want to look at a shell replacement like Aston.. AFAIK works on Win98 and has some nice features. Still I always went back to the default explorer shell tho.

Hardly.. look ? Close but not enough. Feel, no way. The underlying GUI engine is just to different. (using GUI engine cause can't think of the correct term..)

I like the fact that you've changed MS IE to "Exploder!"

Now my thread "Amiga slogans" has been immortalised in that screen grab!

Why win9x? WinXP is far more stable etc. than the old windows stuff. Are you using it because your hardware is a few years old?

WinXP can also be a lot more incompatible with older software...

That's why I'm not using XP.

Get linux! Is free and both gnome and kde is way more skinable than any windows.

Unless you need win9x for certain games that does not run under linux/cedega..

Or is it possible to convert amiga .info icons to png icons?

@Tomas

ive already tried linux to run on my pc but my pc wont run it coz my pc is a pile of poo

i tried Ubunta Linux and Mandrake Linux

any way i want windows for games and stuff and maybe internet exploder until the bring out a good browser for amiga.

sory IExploror Haters but if IE does wat i want it to do then i dont give a ####.

maybe the next update of ibrowse will be good

You might consider using Gentoo, it's abit/alot of work to setup, but it's the best thing i've ever installed on an x86 ;)
