Newest Version of Windows Media Player compatible with 98SE

[anonymous74]

I got a Windows 98 laptop a few days ago, and I would like to know what the latest version of Windows Media Player compatible with it is. Right now it has version 6.01.05.0217. Thanks in advance!

It goes up to windows media player 9.

Thanks! That worked. Could I run anything newer under KernalEx?

It may be possible to run WMP10 under 98... But I haven't test

Looks like the best chance of that is with NT 4.0 or Me. So, I think I will have to settle with version 9 for now . It's fine though, my original goal was just to get a version running that had visualizations and could play some MP3s that MP6 couldn't do. Thank you everyone!

It goes up to windows media player 9.

Last version supported under Windows 98 1st edition was WMP 7.1.

9 works flawlessly, but it is possible to install 10.

Believe or not, I actually got Windows Media Player 10 run in Windows 98. Although it is highly unstable and couldn't play any format for music or video. It is still very interesting.
(Sorry I forget how I made it work and I am work hard to find the way that i made it work.)

Personally I like to use the stock WMP Version from Windows 98, 6.01, also if I want some modern one like XP's, i use WMP 7 or 7.1.
