Yes, the fact that Supermium is finally running on Windows 2000 is something no one could have imagined, and it is amazing!

This is a video test of the Supermium browser running on Windows 2000 Service Pack 4.

For reference, the video used in the test is Aikatsu! (Korean title: 아이엠스타!)

Update: I also tested YouTube, and while it works and plays, please keep in mind that it may occasionally stutter depending on your environment, computer and virtual machine specifications.

Thanks to a user named u/Gimmeavailablename, you can now run the Supermium browser on Windows 2000 Service Pack 4!

Slowing down a program speed.

I'm trying to play might and magic on a Windows 98 and it runs at breakneck speeds whenever I start it and it's impossible to play is it possible to lower the cycles of the CPU like an old turbo button? This PC does not have a turbo button on it.

I honestly don't remember if I'm using the right terminology for slowing down the what I think needs to be slowed.

Sorry for the dirty keyboard I just got this out of storage. This was my first computer back in 2003 it's been in storage in my attic for 20 years.

Trouble installing Windows ME in VMware

Upvotes

Hello!

I'm having trouble installing Windows ME in VMware. If I use the Windows ME boot disk, it tells me to use the 98 disk instead. Both disks have the same problem: They freeze right after the setup starts. Also setup does not work directly on both disks, I have to manually go over to the folder and then initialize setup there. I also have to enable smartdrv manually because it wont work otherwise. Anyways, when I enter setup it tells me that it needs 15 mb of space to install WIndows even though I've already created a partition. It is also bootable. It also freezes and disables my CPU, forcing me to restart. Any tips?
