I've just tested it on a Win98 box and it works fine.

the plug-in gets automatically installed, and i can see the configuration options in the preferences section of winamp. but how do i get it to appear in the msn-?

Tools -> Options -> Personal -> Check "Show song information from Windows Media Player as a personal message".

windows media player 9 is only compatible with windows 98 second edition, not with the standard version ...

[slightly off topic]
  Many bugs and many security issues are fixed in 98SE. You should update to it for many reasons.
  98 is considered obsolete...

hehe thanks for posting that but nah, i wont update my windows just to make a plug in work ;) i was wondering if there was something i could do with the standard edition of windows 98, but it's ok if there's not :) thanks for replying anyway, means a lot.

No need to update your Windows... jsut download Media Player 9 from Microsoft's website.


RE: what im listening to - for windows 98 by daredavid on 06-21-2005 at 12:25 AM

it says it's only compatible with windows 98 SE -second edition-, are you sure it wont cause me any troubles considering that i have the first-? :)

Shouldn't

No, not to use this feature, but 98 has major security issues and many bugs. those are all fixed in 98SE (hence the major reason for SE). If you go on the net regulary, use 98SE instead...

thanks a lot, i downloaded it and it's working perfectly now :D you guys are the best :D

You downloaded AND installed it???
How did you do that???
Sure I can download it but I can't install wmp 9, the installation program doesn´t let you go further than a message telling me what I already know (I can't install wmp 9 unless I have at the very least win 98 SE)

If you did it I certainly wanna know how

See ya..
