Last time I used ie6 to browse nvidia's site was back in 2011 for a retro build. I was looking for their old tech demos for the geforce 256. I got an error page saying "Internet explorer 6? You cannot be serious"

[@TheStepmonkey]

LOL

[@randomchannel9331]

​@Blackblur610there's a post in reddit that shows it

[@binplus8517]

I have a msg CMD at the moment on installing a driver downloaded from Sony Vaio, that disappear very quickly... but you can read what it says... And it said.. "You are using fucking Windows Vista" or something like that... LOL!

Until you put something magnetic near them, had a chocolate fountain that nearly ruined mine for some reason.

[@Annielogue_YT]

[@bricktasticanimations4834]

[@Earthquake_tracker]

Dont do it now your windows 98 is on torjan attack

[@daveadams6421]

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't Firefox work just fine on old hardware?

[@vwvwvwvwvwvwvwvwvwvw9]

Depends on the version. I'm pretty sure modern Firefox is definitely unsupported.

[@NottJoeyOfficial]

Modern Firefox won't work on anything older than Windows 7 officially and maybe Vista with an extended kernel.

[@xBruceLee88x]

Firefox ESR52 was what I ended up using

[@whiteshipcentral4767]

Firefox worked for windows xp in 2019

[@NottJoeyOfficial]

@@whiteshipcentral4767 yes, but it's not 2019 anymore lol

[@SidTheGeek]

absolutely amazing old memories

[@hega5honda]

it has a virus

[@Anilocin]

Install graphics drivers first, or else you will be stuck with 640x480 16 colors VGA

[@SuperMinky]

that is 256 colors im pretty sure

[@chezburger57]

That’s only on VirtualBox

[@Anilocin]

@@chezburger57 nope, without graphics drivers, Windows 9x/Me defaults to standard VGA 640x480 16 color mode

[@ToastedHeadcrab]

my xp pc can use internet with my pal browser it awesome i have gaming pc

[@RetroNorth]

Not impressed, I’m surfing on the modern web using a virtual Windows NT 3.5.1.

[@emmanuelmontalvo1676]

[@thelazycat7204]

The Nintendo Power one looked pretty good...

[@zac_os]

YOOOOOOOO I should try this on my dads old windows xp laptop which just has a bunch of photos of fish that he'd caught back in the day (because he likes fishing)

[@chrisandrea4963]

you can still do a lot of things with win98 if you view the source of web pages and copy links and try to find ways to view html versions of pages or ftp

[@austinstitzel]

I'm gonna guess that you are a Scorpio.

[@amethystsimp]

Protoweb is this but 2.0,with working revivals

[@samukadatp7969]

This site is so epic that it even works on the Nintendo DS web browser (i know this because of Michael MJD)

[@Micro486official]

Code a proxy with a .bat file works for me

[@iftekhar77]

Is it just me or the click is so satisfying 🥲

[@LesCrocsSepulcraux]

Absolutely

[@ModricoTV]

I wonder if Windows Mobile phones could survive the Internet in 2023. Any answers?

[@FloppyBoy123]

Absolutely. i have a Compaq Hx2110 and it works fine with Opera. The only problem is that you need a wired or Bluetooth gateway with an internet connected device, or find a wifi CF card that's still supported by todays standars

[@CAPPY-MarioOdyssey]

I’m installing windows xp on a more modern pc
