Windows 98 starting up for the first time 🔊

Really? Windows 98 came with Diablo, working sound drivers, and half a desktop of icons? That's not what happened when I installed it a few weeks ago, lol

Windows 95 + Prince of Persia on 1.44MB floppy disk💾👌😂

Ya right. As if your sound card worked right out of the box lol....

It felt great even setting it up was fun

Windows 98 and Windows 3.11 can connect to a version of reverse engineered AOL still :)

Favorite media player back in the day

. The main reason many remember 98 is that 95 was so full of bugs.

my first OS was Windows 95... then 98... a long long long long time ago...

it will be playing at FULL BLAST

I hate this song because I listened it everytime I had to reinstall the system after various kind of fatal failures.

Stating for the first time with games and programs installed not to mention working drivers yeah nice bait

I love it. 🥰💖

Old good days!

Memories!

Win98 SE was quite good…

Now there's copilot to do things. Gone of the day when MS offered their first installed software help like in windows 95/98. Not everyone is an expert in to OS straight off, it's difficult sometimes for even experts to figure out the latest software without experience training.

Windows millenium 😁🤦‍♂️

A lot of users probably never heard that sound, as sound drivers wouldn't be installed at that point. Also it wouold possibly show up in 16 colours...

@wowstartsnow Back then it was nice way before you had Microsoft trying to shove services down your throat

Ok now play it a 0.25 speed and you get the real experience of back then😁 HDD's and mother's in 1998 have a 1.2Mb/s at best A Intel SE440BX (Seattle) with a HDD WD800 7200RPM give you 12.5Mb/s We buy it for editing video with Adobe Premiere 6.0 and Animation with 3D Studio 4

Sounds like a news headline is being reported

Encarta….

I remember our family switching all the way from 3.1 to 95 to 98. Magic every time.

😍😍😍😍. I have never stopped this welcome screen from being on my desktop at startup because I just love that tune 🤩
