He presented it to Shah Jahan on his third visit to Kashmir at Ahrabal in Kulgam - the above verse is from that Masnavi. He died in 1662 at Lahore next to the grave of his father in Mugulpora. Kashmir in Persian literature: This is a series dedicated to Kashmiris and Persian poets whose work reflected Kashmir and its people. Kashmir, according to Iqbal, is known as the Iran-e-Sagheer - the Little Iran. If you're lucky you can still download old version 4.* of Avast from Oldapps.This is due to the Central Asian influence which added its essence deeply in the country 14th century onwards.(I’ll write separately about using a KVM (keyboard-video-monitor) switch, that allowed me to run this Windows 98 PC in tandem with an XP machine, sharing the same peripherals.) I could not find any on the web at all.Ī Vista lookalike skin for Avast 4.8, in Windows 98Īs long as serial numbers are available annually, then I hope to get a few more years out of the old Windows 98 Dell yet. You can disable Skins altogether in the Preferences. aswcs file to the Skins directory then double-click, they will then appear in the Skins selection list. I had some Avast skins in my archives: copy the. Hopefully this’ll continue until Avast changes the way that the registration operates, as a new registration number is needed every year. I’ve no reason to think that it’s not running properly – all the major features seem to be as I’d expect and it seems to make the right kind of noises. Several updates later and Avast had upgraded itself to V4.8 (watch for a green popup saying that a new version is available).Įverything looks to be in order but I’ll resist testing Avast in W98 to see if it actually traps a virus! It checks for updates and downloads the latest database every time, accompanied by a voice confirmation that says ‘virus database has been updated’. ^^ The ghastly silver control panel - how to get rid of it? V4.7 shown. ^^ Avast 4.8 appears to update itself with the latest threats - in theory anyway ^^ Avast proceeded to upgrade itself to V4.8 ^^ Avast 4.7 installed in Windows 98, showing 27th March 2012 I tried different browsers and I gave up bitterly disappointed after half a dozen attempts, only to find the serial number cheerfully emailed to me six times about 10 minutes later! I entered this into Avast 4.7 – success! – and the software then updated itself for the latest database. Then it’s necessary to register for a free 12 month serial number, without which the plan falls apart.ĭon’t be put off by a bug in the fill-in web form, which complained of ‘missing fields’ even though I’d filled it in properly. I had an archive backup of V4.7 which I installed in W98 pretty much without a hitch. It’s not available on CNET nor from Avast any more. To install Avast in Windows 98, you have to use Version 4.x (I used 4.7) which you’ll have to hunt around for if you haven’t got a backup copy. Not surprisingly, I couldn’t find any anti-virus protection for Windows 98 anywhere… but after some trials and errors I rediscovered an old friend in my backups that seems to make “anti-virus is running” noises in W98: namely Avast. Anti Virus for Windows 98Īnother aspect is the thorny problem of running anti-virus software under Windows 98. Paragon Software's free NTFS Driver for Windows 98 lets the Dell access the NAS NTFS-format files over the network without a hitch. The Windows 98 PC sees the NAS drive perfectly. The Dell runs under the FAT file system, and is blind to the needs of NTFS so I used Paragon Software’s free NTFS file system driver for W98 to let it access my Synology NAS drive over the network. Mindful of the Iomega Zip “Click of Death” I also back up over the network to a Synology DS211J RAID-type NAS drive. The PC hums along quietly to itself and reports and invoices are happily printed by a network printer.ĭaily backups are taken on a USB Zip drive which runs under W98, and disks are stored in a fireproof box. Several patches were therefore needed (carefully stored on disks with serial numbers – they’re irreplaceable) to get it running in the 21st century. Recently I rebuilt the old Dell from scratch before reinstalling Quicken 98, which came complete with its own Year 2000 date rollover bug. Why don’t I run it in Windows XP or W7 instead? Because Quicken’s sales invoicing add-on wouldn’t work and I’d lose my customer database if I did. It’s dedicated to running my Quicken 98 accounts package. Dell Dimension 4100 - there's life in the old girl yetI’ve still got an old Windows 98SE machine on my network, a faithful old Dell Dimension 4100 933MHz that cost £1,500+ when new.
