Steven – I have run The BOINC Manger (version 4.45), with success, on Widows 98, but please provide the following info, so that we can perhaps be of more assistance:

    What projects are you intending to run?

    How much memory dose your system have?

    What speed dose your CPU operate at?

    Do you have a Dial-up or ADSL modem connection?

Knowing these answers would help a lot.

Regards,
Tom

I have successfully installed boinc_4.45_windows_intelx86 on a 0.2 GHz MMX with 192 MB RAM and Win98 .

I was only able to install the Single-user installation, and as i am not able to shutdown or restart Win98 as long as 4.45 is running (i have to exit 4.45 first, or kill its process at shutdown), i will replace it with the older version 4.19 as soon as possible.
