  1. If the only hard drives you have are connected via a RAID controller then I assume Vista will be unable to search them [in DOS mode].
  2. http://www.elitegrounds.net/trainermakers/...erstudio1.6.zip Here is an old Wise installer for Windows 3.11 that PEiD fails to detect (because it's not a PE). I successfully unpacked it with HWUN.
  3. Can i5comp extract InstallShield 7 cabinets? Phew, after a few hours I have at last successfully extracted the archive using ISCAB 12. The cabinet was "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City" installer on 2 CDs. At first I had overlooked a small dummy cabinet data3.cab on the second disc, which obviously contained the #1418 file. There were also uncompressed files on the disc, and when listing the contents uising -l iscab did not differentiate between uncompressed files and files packed in CABs. So, those files also had to be copied over (first I tried extracting in the current directory, overwriting those files with themselves). Iscab created all required subdirectories.
  4. Thank you both Nitro and Stranger for your extraction tools. Much appreciated. Can you please tell me how to use the cracked InstallShield Cabinet Viewer 12? I tried to unpack an IS7 cabinet (split into data1.hdr, data1.cab, data2.cab), which is unsupported by i6comp, using ISCAB and IsCabVu. Both applications parsed the header file without errors. Finally IsCabVu allows me to extract files one by one. The problem is that there are over 1000 files packed. To do unpacking in batch mode I created an ini file using command. iscab data1.cab -i"iscab.ini" -l Then modified the ini file to include target path according to this helpfile. Upon running the extraction process iscab tells me it can't find a file #1418. There is no file with such index in the cabinets and my ini file. iscab.exe data1.cab -i"iscab.ini" -x To exclude the possibility with mismatched seachpaths, I have finally copied the installer, iscab12 and the ini file in the same directory.
  5. You might need to switch back to compact "small icons" mode when using special 'upgraded' Open dialogs, which can't be enlarged. (The enchanced Open/Save may lose functionality if the dialog in COMDLG32 is replaced with a larger one.)
  6. I can't believe you care so much about licenses and pay so little attention to common sense. Would you stop eating and sleeping if you had accidentally accepted a specially crafted 30 kB long license (that nobody reads) forbiding you to do it?
  7. There is an application called PDDLGHLP that when run on system startup will stay resident and preserve the look (and size) of the Open dialog. This program was part of PowerDesk Utilities 98 (?). If you want it, I can send it to you.
  8. Thank you for your reply. I think that I got very lucky because only USB 2.0 is left without the driver under Win98SE. Here is my experience with my Intel 915P motherboard (Gigabyte). I have tried Geforce 6200 PCI-E and its driver was very unstable under Win98. nVidia's tech support (after complaining a bit that they do not make video boards) told me to stop using this obsolete operating system. However, two different models of ATI X550 do work properly. They have limited DOS memory to maybe a megabyte or smth, but it is OK. The driver for Realtek ALC codec (integrated) is not stable, but I don't care as I have a good sound card (Yamaha YMF724). Yay, DOS games! VIA VT6410 SATA/RAID controller works properly. I have tried only P-ATA devices (three 250 GB hard drives are connected). Operating of RAID-ed drives in DOS mode is possible, but if writing is attempted it may corrupt the entire disk. Marvell network interface works properly (except, read below). This Windows 98 machine can not operate for more than 4 or 5 days because of some timer problem I have not been able to resolve so far. The system clock slows down, then there appear timing problems in MIDI hardware, then network card (Marvell) wouldn't accept incoming connections, regular digital audio wouldn't play (PCI board). I suspect it's because system timer shares IRQ 0 with an IDE controller, but I'm not sure. There are no observable problems running Win98 for shorter periods of time, like one day.
  9. Hello, Petr. Have you managed to install USB 2.0 support on your i915 chipset? I have tried different OrangeWare drivers with no luck, and http://www.winpack.org/petr/usb2-ow-2.04.zip is no longer available. Thanks.
