Hi All ... ... just wanted to ad that I am using Shockwave Full v10.2.023 and Flash Player 9.0.115.0 (IE) from FileHippo and both are working just fine in my two Win 98SE notebooks. I also use Proxomitron and have tested both Shockwave and Flashplayer at the test sites mentioned a few posts back. I have downloaded Autopatcher (Oct 2007) but have never used it ... just Gape's older v2.1a and Maximus Decim Cumulative Update ver.2.50 for Windows 98SE. I do like the Auto-Patcher project by Soporific but I don't need everything that's in it ... so I update using the two I mentioned earlier. Maybe there are some conflicts with programs and Shockwave and Flashplayer ... but the latest versions seem to be working for me. A question for Sop and maybe just some information for some. I have stayed with the older WMP v6.4 but have installed the K-Lite Codec Package v3.4.5 (Full) with Media Player Classic ... this is the "last" version that will work with Win 98SE. Have you ever thought of adding this nice codec package to Auto-Patcher ... and I just mention it in case others have never heard of it. It is on FileHippo. duffy98

.... from the last post about Process Explorer by Sysinternals. I also have that on my machine ... went to the site and downloaded a newer version. It's a good program. Now as to my earlier post #26 ... I have gone to the WinPatrol site and downloaded the latest version ... there is a "free" version and a "plus" version. I decided to try the newer version again, it has had a few updates since I last downloaded it. It is a good, simple program with little "Scotty" always on patrol. 1st link ... http://www.winpatrol.com/upgrade.html .... 2nd link ... http://www.winpatrol.com/ .... ... I just reposted to be more specific about the latest version and in case some readers out there had never heard of this neat little program. ... I still have Process Explorer by Sysinternals on my machine also ... Memload also works for Win 98 ... there are downloads still out there. duffy98

Hi ... would also like to know the answer to Post #29 (01-17-1008) : "So has the download in the first post to 2.50 been updated to include the fixes?" .... I had downloaded an earlier version of 2.50 before all this discussion of outdates and updates started. thanks, duffy98

I also like this program ... AnVir Task Manager Free ... and checked it out. I did notice through Memload that it does consume a lot of system resources ... it provides a lot of information but I decided to uninstall it and continue using an older version of Win Patrol (v7.0.1.0) that does a lot of what AnVir Task Manager Free does, but with a lot less resources. When I ran AnVir Task Manager Free my memory usage was 2.3 M compared to only 296 K with that version of WinPatrol. I'm not exactly sure of that 2.3 M figure for AnVir Task Manager Free ... it was over the 2.0 M mark according to Memload and I'm thinking it was near the 2.3 M or 2.4 M figure. Perhaps someone else can check this out to confirm. ... now I want to add ... this is not a complaint of any kind ... I like the program and will keep it handy to install if I need more info about something in particular ... but as an earlier post said ... it seems to be everywhere and you have to hunt some things down after uninstalling ... but it may be everywhere only because it does monitor and check so many things ... but for me the 7.0.1.0 version of WinPatrol does almost the same thing in keeping an eye on everything with less resources. That version seems to work best with Windows 98SE ... for me anyway .... the newer version seems to work OK but the resources used go up a little ... and the newer version doesn't seem to offer anything much better ... just my 2 cents on AnVir Task Manager Free. .... but if you need to have extra information on something, it does seem to provide that ... definitely something nice to have around unless the resources used are of no concern. duffy98

... just a thank you for putting this together and keeping it updated. I also liked Gape's version ... but I have read maybe he isn't well or something along that line. ... miss his project and his input ... but you have been a big help ... I find the Auto-Patcher is a nice program but is is more than I need ... I use your update and then add almost everything else that you mention in your "order of install" file. ... I still install Gape's last update first right after a fresh install of Win 98SE ... the reason is that I like the Windows 98SE startup and signoff logo that is in his update. Do you know if that was his "invention" or is that available from somewhere else to download ? ... that's the only way I know how to install it on my machine ... run his 98 SP 2.1a first just to get that 98 SE logo installed and then I go with your MDCU v2.40 update and everything else. ... can you add this logo to your update or site ... I searched on Google but couldn't find that particular logo anywhere for download... if it is Gape's invention then I can just get it from his last update. ... again, thanks for your project ... works for me. duffy98
