    What’s the name of the first song that you played on the Fast Foward Rock CD?

    They were all unnamed.As a matter of fact, the Fast Forward Rock CD’s were limited-time promotional CD’s offered by the Colombia House music club (Mom was a member) and weren’t even offered for sale! lol!

    I’ve actually found that all versions of 9x (95, 98, ME) behave differently on different computers.Windows 98 SE runs excellent on all 3 of my 9x computers (The Compaq, Packard Bell, and Acer), Windows 95 ran good on the Compaq while it was a little unstable on the Acer, and Windows ME ran awful on the Compaq but excellent on the Acer.lol!

    If someone can make that, AND a compatibility fix for modern computers, i would LOVE to run Windows 98 SE on my Samsung NC10 netbook, it even supports Wi-Fi!btw, the standby CD player function is DAMN cool!

    You don’t need a compatibility fix to run it on modern computers – you need drivers for the computer’s parts. If the manufacturer(s) of the computer’s part(s) didn’t make a Win98 driver, then you’re outta luck.

    It wouldn’t even run on my previous 2004 Acer laptop (the one I mentioned in the stereo vid) with anything higher than 16 colours and PC beeper.

    That’s because you needed to go on the internet and download the right drivers. Windows 98 comes only with drivers that work on hardware from the early to mid ’90’s.
