Ok I went to Install the 98 version and when I was a message popped up and said that my OS is no longer supported for this program.. :(
So I am asking are there any other programs like WindowBlinds out there? And by a chance are they free? They must be able to support Windows 98, Thanks.

You could try a whole shell replacement.

BlackBox for Windows

LiteStep

GeoShell

Or many, many others that you can find with a little googling.

I thought it would have been better to ask. I mean there must be other Window's 98 users here besides me and maybe they used something like WindowBlinds and they could have told me what Program to use. But Thank you Luke for showing me those Programs I will look into more of them later on.

You could also try to find an older version of WindowBlinds that supports 98. I seem to remember a version not too long ago that was built especially for compatibility with Windows 98.

EDIT: I looked around on the official site, and they have the little logo right on the main page that specifies support for XP, 2000, ME, and 98. Maybe you just did something wrong.

Maybe I should update my system. Maybe it's time. I will take a Picture later when I am home.

So basically if you want to get the previous version that DOES support WIN98, your going to have to pay for it.

Ouch...I guess I can either Torrent it. Or go find some FreeWare program like WindowsBlinds.

I'm a big fan of StyleXP, which pretty much does the same thing. It's available off their website, and is pretty popularly pirated via torrents. Looks good, works well, and makes your comp look awesome.

My List. Remember, everything can be bought, for a price.
