How can you programmatically measure per-process (or better, per-thread) CPU usage under windows 95, windows 98 and windows ME? If it requires the DDK, where can you obtain that? Please note the Win9x requirement. It's easy on NT. EDIT: I tried installing the Win95/98 version of WMI, but Win32_Process.KernelModeTime and Win32_Process....
Hello, We're looking at upgrading from Visual Studio 2005 to Visual Studio 2008. I discovered the following disturbing comment: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/6sehtctf.aspx "Beginning with Visual C++ 2008, Visual C++ does not support targeting Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, or Windows NT." Does this mean that if we rebu...
I need to write a little tool for a customer to be run on Windows 98. Since this is a very small project I'd hope that I could avoid having to go native C++ and use C#. The .net Framework 2.0 download claims to support Windows 98. Are there any caveats or hitches to be aware of when installing or coding? ...
Up to now in my application, I've been supporting all flavors of Windows from Windows 98 to Windows NT/2000 to XP to Vista. But because of adding Unicode in my next version, support of Windows 98 would still be possible, but very difficult. I know there are still some of my users running Windows 98. What are the pros and cons of me n...
I've been searching around for this and cannot seem to find a solid answer. I know the 2.0 version of the .net framework is supported in Windows98, but does that include SP1? ...
We have thousands of DOS programs that were all written in the 80s using 16-bit C, comprising over 1,000,000 lines of code. Many of these programs utilize libraries that directly access the screen, drive, etc. (and we don't have the sources for these libraries). Whenever we try to run them in Win2000 or above, even in compatibility mod...
My question is related to this one: "Does Visual Studio 2008 support windows 98?" The accepted answer to that question is "NO", and to support Windows 9x you will need to continue using Visual Studio 2005. I prefer to believe anything is possible (for a price), and I'm trying to find a solution that would let us have our cake and eat i...
Conditions: Windows 98 SE WMI not available I have code that looks like this, written using my steroidal wrapping of VBScript using MSScript. do a = files.collectfiles( "c:\userver", "" ) for i = 0 to ubound( a ) f = a(i) if strings.endswith( f, ".usv" ) then d = files.readfilee( f ) on error resume next executeglobal...
I'm trying to write a small accounting app, mainly for my dad's use. His PC is running Windows 98 (and upgrading is pretty much out of the question due to technical concerns as well as logistics). Java 4 and 5 still seem to work with Windows 98, but I'm totally lost about the DB part. Does anybody know a good, up-to-date database that in...
We had an arcade/redemption game running on Win98, but hardware which can run it has finally gone obsolete. The game used a number of scaling effects, some through the 3D path, and played some tricks moving things in and out of video memory. If I was to undertake porting it to run on Windows 7, how much trouble would it likely be? Wou...
I'm running a py2exe-compiled python program from one server machine on a number of client machines (mapped to a network drive on every machine, say W:). For Windows XP and later machines, have so far had zero problems with Python picking up W:\python23.dll (yes, I'm using Python 2.3.5 for W98 compatibility and all that). It will then ...
I am performing this project but there is problem of program . we chose a program based on the 'C' language that runs on window 98. But we need to run this program in window 7. So same program will run or not? if not then what to do. ...
I'm trying to write an application that should work both on Windows 98 and XP. I decided to go with Python, but I'm having trouble even installing it on Win'98 (Python 2.7 installer says something about missing features of Windows Installer, but AFAIK 2.0 is the latest Windows Installer version compatible with '98). Does anyone have a...
