  1. I use Opera v. 10.10.1893.0 without KeX (and IE6 SP1, when really unavoidable) but no FF at all on 98SE.
  2. Are you using Daemon Tools Version V 3.47 or earlier?
  3. Not me, I'll use Linux first! 7 maybe. That's where I draw the line. But I'll keep using XP (besides 98SE) for a long time yet. It still got 50% of the market, and should retain at least half of it for a long time ahead. Now, this really is more of a thread for the 7 forum, but I'll keep it here for the time being. Let's see whether someone here solved it. I bet editing the inf of a later driver should do the job. At least for XP. But LoneCrusader is right: if there is a Vista driver, that's the best bet for 7 and maybe 8.
  4. With all due respect, do you honestly believe you've provided enough info for anyone to be able to answer your question?
  5. I'm sorry Rjecina, with all due respect, but even after long consideration, I really cannot understand what did you intend to say when you wrote the sentence below: Could you please kindly elaborate? The part in blue italic is the one I cannot make any sense of.
  6. Then you need to install theMicrosoft Visual Studio 2012 redistributable VC++ libraries: x86 or x64
  7. I always do it first thing when I buy a netbook or notebook. It gives me confidence, since whatever mistake I may make afterwards can be easily corrected. I don't do it first thing on desktops because I always build my desktops myself, so that, for them, my first full image is done only after the moment I install and activate XP on them.
  8. Good. 120 GB is small enough to create a real forensic full-disk (= dumb, byte-by-byte) image.
  9. I fear you actually are mistaken, I'm sorry to say. You wouldn't be so, however if you had read the whole thread as you should... because, as I said in post #2: There are no drivers whatsoever for the RENESAS (NEC) uPD72020x, and that's the real problem. The PCIUSB3S2 has been actually superseded by the PCIUSB3S22, the diference being the former used a molex connector for additional power, while the latter uses a SATA power connector instead, all the rest being the same.
  10. Yes, you've got that right! It's now officially called Legged Squad Support System (LS3), it seems, but BigDog is the catchy name that'll remain, IMO. It has enough in common with horses and mules, of course. including the intende use (a robotic pack-animal), but many of its moves are more similar to dog moves than to horse/mule moves, AFICS... and probably that's why DARPA's people dubbed it BigDog to start with. In the US, as here in Brazil, apartment buildings without elevators are next to non-existant. However, that's not so in Europe, where they are common in the most expensive neighborhoods, even in London, Paris and Milan. So what I do envisage as the probable 1st civillian use of a BigDog would be to be bought by such condominia, to bring up the stairs things, like, say, the packages with the goods just bought from the local supermarket.
  11. Wow! "To mindlessly go towards a mindless misconception of the future" is a quite memorable paraphrase of the most famous among Star Treck Intro's lines, and is an epic apophthegm in itself! No, not really. An SSD is just another disk, for a byte-by-byte image... with the added advantage that it probably is 128 GB or smaller, so that the full-disk backup outweights the full-partition idea. How big is it, in fact?

  13. While insect-sized drones will remain sci-fi until someone finds a solution for powering them (from an ob-board source) for long enough for them to be actually useful, cat/bunny sized robots are probably just around the corner in the future, and man sized robots are already feasible right now, although super-ultra-expensive and not very bright, nowadays... but I'd say they may become commercially available in 10 years or maybe even less, even if still quite expensive. There were some news about a "big dog" pack-animal robot being already in tests for usability by the US Army, IIRR.
  14. Sure. I was thinking along that line since I read your post where you say there is IE9 in the Add/Remove Software list. My take would be: create a full backup (yes, I mean a dumber-than-a-doorknob full-disk bit-by-bit image, but I'd settle for such an image from just the partition containing Win 7). Then remove IE9, and let's see how the restored IE8 behaves. As for other browsers, my recommendation is for PaleMoon (with PlainOldFavorites, RefControl and the User Agent Changer add-ons). PlainOldFavorites allows one to really share the Favorites folder between IE and FF/PaleMoon, and makes using both really easy. My sole issue with Opera is there isn't something like it for Opera.
  15. I fear you are getting forgetful, jaclaz... duffy98 had already posted about the RoboBees... and I had followed that post with this one... Those RoboBees are really a big jump forward (or a miniature flight upwards, maybe)... but I wonder why nobody seems to be pursuing the sole long duration power source viable for such a nano-bot:
  16. Well, and, at that point, if you highlight the full link info, cut it and then past it where you originally wanted it to be, does it get moved there as it should? Furthermore, can you create the link by hand, by typing, say, [url="http://www.any.link"]My link[/url] and does it stay in place or does it teleport to before the first character in the text, too?
  17. I didn't test it (I still have a USB 1.1 only machine, but I have to restore it to bootability before I can use it for anything... it's a socket super-7 K-6 III machine). I guess so, however, since the standard implies that. If you intend to buy one USB 3.0 device for tests, buy the best of the lot, which is, at the moment, the Kingston DataTraveler Workspace 64 GB (it reports itself as non-removable to NT-family OSes, too, which is unusual, but welcome, albeit irrelevant for 9x/ME). As for the mode, by using USBView one may see, in the "Device Descriptor", bcdUSB = 0x0210 (instead of the usual 0x0200), when in USB 2.0 compatibility mode, so I wouldn't be surprised at all if it reported something like 0x0120 (instead of the usual 0x0110 or 0x0100), when on USB 1.x compatibility mode.
  18. All USB 3.0 are backwards compatible as per the standard. When connected to USB 2.0 ports they enter "USB 2.1" mode (= compatibility mode), and are generally faster than the fastest true USB 2.0 devices used to be. See my tests in the attached .pdf file. As for PCI (not PCI-e) USB 3.0 add-on boards, there is at least one such board, manufactured by Star Tech, the PCIUSB3S2 (of which I own one)... but it's useless for Win 9x/ME, until some retro-loving programmer develops a driver stack for it.

  19. The Doors - People are strange RIP, Ray.
  20. I confirm it: it's at <other\updates\voltrack\>... so we both had it all the while!!! And it's inside ideup.exe, on the same folder, too: and that may be a preserved renamed version of the particular remideup.exp we were after...
  21. Got it! It's inside zipremid... accept the agreement, download it and use 7-zip to open it. Inside there's a remideup folder, containing the unpacked remideup files and a further copy of the original remideup.exe. B)
  22. The one with v. 1116 is easy to find: it seems to be the last. It has CRC32: C90D2429 and MD5: CFF50F370D3A5D050DA7158728CF7A37 and it's size is 147,096 bytes.
  23. OK. Keep me posted, please.
  24. It appears to still exist inside Nest.zip, a superseded driver still present at the DriverGuide. But since they now refuse to let one download without installing their Downloader, I'll not be able to download it to ascertain whether the old remideup.exe is truly there. I'd have to back-up my system, download, then restore my back-up image to remove the last trace of DriverGuide's crappy downloader... I'm sorry but I don't have the needed spare time to do it right now.
