Nero 6
Your brother needs to get off of Win98. Seriously.
Go to eBay and look for roxio, cd-creator and nero disks. See what is being offered that will burn DVD under Win 98.
AS for the 500mb of memory. Quite impressive but I think Win 98 can only utilize 256 max
As has already been mentioned-Nero 6
If he's trying to use a USB burner, he's probably wasting his time. Windows 98 and USB have lots of compatibility/dependability problems unless he has the final revision of Window 98, (C or 3?) and even then they don't always work well.
If he has an IDE burner, he should be fine. If not go to Newegg.com and get one. Cheapies are under $25 with free shipping now.
Nero will work good for him, and he can go here and grab DVD Shrink DVD Decrypter and RipIt4Me for copying commercial movies he might rent.
He can also go here for instructions and info on how to use those 3 I just mentioned. They are free and will nail anything the recording industrie will throw at him.
Sheesh, tell him it is 2008 not 1998. I am thinking his processor is not going to be powerful enough to handle alot of the processor intensive tasks that are needed when you actually burn something to the disk, unless the data is already in the correct file format.
Nero 7 is the latest that works with 98. It’s 40 bucks on amazon

I believe Nero lets you upgrade as much as you want with the same serial number.
You might check out deepburner (free edition). The documentation says it will work with 98. I’ve used it for several years with XP. It is a nice cd/dvd burner program.
You been a FReeper forever, why is this breaking news?
that being said, I have a problem with loss of hot water pressure in my bathtub. Just replaced the valve in the hot water handle but that didn’t work. I’d post a help vanity but I’m afraid it would end up in breaking news and the laid off spell checker would swoop down on me.............LOL!
