Spoofing 98SE
in [Windows 98]

From: Tamiami on 25 Nov 2008 10:02 Greetings, Anyone know how to spoof 98 to appear as XP to software and web sites. I remember something from like 2001, but alas, old age has over-ruled. Thanks.
From: Howard on 25 Nov 2008 11:38 You might want to try KernelEx which is now up to version 0.3.6. It replaces the Windows 98 kernel file and fools some software that it is Win XP. I can't say that it works with everything but it has allowed me to install and run OpenOffice 3.0 successfully and, so far, hasn't caused any obvious problems. To check it out and get the free download, go to http://x86.neostrada.pl/KernelEx/ If anyone else is using this fix, please can they say what software they have managed to run?

Are you overclocked? If so, is it stable?

If so, is it stable? No overclocking. I'm running Win 98SE with an AMD Athlon processor (as AMD intended). I haven't experienced any stability problems with programs that were already installed (under the original Win98). So far, the only new program I've installed with the modified Win system is OpenOffice 3.0. Fingers crossed - everything seems to be working okay. I haven't checked but it might be worth checking with a Google search to see if there are any postings on other Forums by happy (or unhappy!) KernelEx users.
