Still no luck on Win98

I will test the WinXP system, which is the one where it should work.
But as my Win98 system, contrary to the WinXP system, has access to the net,
it is so much easier testing stuff on this outdated system.

On WinXP i have installed ipc-deamon2 as service and got ipctestcygipc.exe h
working after unsetting the password of my Admin account. But here still the
same,
[ws] sorry, your system is not supported X shared memory extension. :(
