Also forgot I had changed some NT40 settings to BASE, I was posting from different OS. *\*.AX= BASE
>>I'm not completely sure whether changing the compatibility mode to Base Enhancements was the issue
Any 98 or ME setting will be OK as well but I even run WMPlayer now with BASE.
>>MPC-HC 1.7.9 installs on Windows 9x, but will not launch due to missing export UXTHEME.DLL:61
https://msfn.org/board/topic/173233-kernelex-45-core-updates-45201617/?do=findComment&comment=1157700 This will solve your C+ 61 missing error. If you need more info on how to do it let me know. It is not the full solution though. VerSetConditionMask needs a 2K setting and SHParseDisplayName needs a XP setting so MPC-HC 1.7.13 & 9 will need a KEX XP mode to startup. 1.7.13 does startup but because MPC now needs XP mode; there is a script error when linking to PCM API and I tried earlier version and it does not work with XP mode : = same result. Video will display but no sound perhaps I need the PCM file explicitly KEX set but it is a 16 bit module so it can not be set. It may not be worth pursuing any further; it is up to Jumper to allow SHParseDisplayName & the 2 Version Mask functions to be included in NT6a or lower settings. I have tested MPC-HC up to vs 1.5.1.2903 and works well but it will not work on a KEX setting above NT6a. Greater than NT6a and PCM error occurs.
Even though I tested up to 1.5.1.2903, it will not unload from memory :- stays in RAM. This may be due to a particular filter. I think 1.4.2499 is the better one to choose. There was no option to disable Haali on install so I was wrong there. It may have been Haali itself asking a certain setting on install or perhaps because I have not got Haali installed fully now. If WMP 6.4 is used to check properties of Haali Splitter the options should be available.
Dxva2.dll vs 5.01.1 does load with KEX NOHEAP if choosing EVR sync in MPC-HC. It may on play video for a short time before freezing. If this is the case it is good all I did then was reboot and swap resizer modes. I am using Bicubic 0.6 at the moment and all is OK. Remember that pixel shader 2.0 is required. Link Dxva2 to Radmin32 instead of Ntdll for missing function. Dxva2.dll 5.01.01 is from LH5552.
