Grainy Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Wow Windows 98 D: The memories! I doubt it is supported to be fair. Best bet is to post on the Tech Support section of the RSOF, get a JMod to answer your query. ~ Grainy's Blog ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seismos Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 According to Wikipedia, the latest version of Java that works on 98 is Java 6 Update 7. You could try installing that if you can find it on a trusted site. Other than that, you're probably out of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grainy Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 This is the latest Win98 Java download I can find: http://www.oldapps.com/java.php?system=Windows_98 Do you already have this? If so, I don't really know what to suggest buddy. If not, give it a try and let me know. ~ Grainy's Blog ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galco Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Uninstall windows 98. Install a light weight version of Ubuntu/Mint.Or if you know your way around linux, slackware.Get java on it.Then play runescape. Though you'll probably lagg like holy balls.So another suggestion. ==BUY A NEW FREAKING COMPUTER== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert_R Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 The minimum required java is 6 update 10. Windows 98 isn't supported anymore, according to this update from last year. http://services.runescape.com/m=news/change-to-required-java-version 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wkw Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 Thanks for the straight answer. I guess I can't use the laptop running 98 for anything other than scanning anymoreThanks :) Runescape player since 2005 Ego Sum Deus Quo Malum Caligo et Barathum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
