    KernelEx 4.5.2

    in Windows 9x Member Projects

    Posted · Edited by RodgerOver

    Additional information:

    Compatiblitity tab ... / ... improved as well.

    Hi Xeno and Tihiy,

    I am a computer layman, but like WIN 98 very much and I now had this - previously reported - issue (Kernel32.dll, error appearing when using Scandefrag) twice; that is why I dare submitting it (I have IE Explorer 6 SP1 on WIN 98 SE (4.10.2222 A + (now) KernelEx 4.5 beta 2 + Flashplayer 10 + Java 6.18) :.

    After a first try (KEx 4.5 beta 1), I decided to "retain my judgement" (like some ancient Greek philosophers called Sceptics, see: Pyrrhon and Sextus Empiricus, a theorie taken over later by the Scottish philosopher David Hume and others), and I disinstalled completly KernelEx, Flashplayer 10 and Java 6 see : # 2.

    Yesterday I tried again: this time with KEx 4.5 beta 2. I first disinstalled Flashplayer 9 and Java 5.22, then installed KernelEx 4.5 beta 2, FLASHPLAYER 10 AND JAVA 6.18 (AND DISABLED NEXT GENERATION PLUGIN). During the scandefrag process (I have the version for WIN 2000), I got the following message:

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    cvtaplog caused an invalid page fault in KEXBASEN.DLL at 0167:7d00d12e

    Registers:

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (I had the time to write it down while scandefrag was running). After restart I went to Start/Find and searched for cvtaplog, because I did not know what it was. After having found it I could reproduce the crah. I then replaced cvtaplog.exe with the intital file with SFC (from C:\windoiws\options\cabs). Then I searched again for cvtaplog, found the replaced (!) file and it crashed again, THIS TIME in Kernel32.dll (similar message than the hexadecimal message above). Finally I replaced Kernel32.dll and ... no more crash !!!. (But the first time the link was to KEXBASEN)

    Just for information and with the hope this might help you a bit, I am not able to read the hexadecimal message above!

    Good Luck

    Kernelex 4.5 Flash 10 install not working (for me)

    in Windows 9x Member Projects

    Posted

    Hi RD,

    perhaps this may not satisfy your needs: But I think there are too many changes in the world at the moment. Having installed MDIECU631_E.EXE (China_Google_update), I also tried what you did and had similar problems to your's, but finally distinstalled KernelEx 4.5, reinstalled the preceding version (KernelEx4.0_final2.exe) and installed the latest version of Flashplayer 10 (newer version than the one I had, latest version available on February 4, 2010).

    Having still some problems, I finally distinstalled Java 6.18 and reinstalled Java 5.22. Now I have a very stable system !! But I cannot see some Java applets. ... Tant pis (French, cannot be translated) ! Java 5.22 will still go some time (until automn I believe). So I think I'll have the time to change !

    And I am quite sure :-) that the newest version of KernelEx will also evolve until automn !

    GDI Heap Extender

    When I am using Bear and the original WIN 98SE Ressource Meter at the same time, I get 3 times the same values, but the values for GDI and User Ressiruces are inverted in two programs. Very strange !

    How can I know what is the real GDI usage and what is User ressources usage ?

    Thanks

    Flash 10 in Firefox with KernelEX not working

    in Windows 9x Member Projects

    Posted

    Chris,

    did you try to disable "Next Generation Plugin" in Control Panel/Java/Advanced/Plugins ?

    If you do not find or have Java in the Control Panel, go to the Start Menu, then Find and tape: "Javacpl.exe". When found, click on it and when it opens you will have the riders. Go to advanced, then click on the "+" before "Plugins". Remove the indicator before "Next Generation Plugin".

    Then it should work (at least in IE, don't have Firefox).

    Hi Xeno (and Tihiy ?):

    Runs REALLY nice your 4.5 on WIN 98 SE 4.10.2222 !

    [edit: Sorry my fault: I restaured original KERNEL 32.DLL from cabs, the re-installed KernelEX - everything is fine now].

    Good luck

    KernelEx 4.5.2

    in Windows 9x Member Projects

    Posted · Edited by RodgerOver

    I have tried installing Adobe Flash Player 10 with Firefox seveal times now with no success. I tried Firefox 2, 3, and 3.5. I have tried installing Flash by visiting a site like Youtube and following the link and by downloading the whole installer package. It seems to install fine but visiting a flash site like Youtube will result in a crash every time. What Am I doing wrong?

    Thanks,

    Chris

    Chris,

    did you disable the "next generation plugin" in control pannel/java/securityadvanced/plugin ?

    It's explained in more details somewhere in this thread or in the other KEX Thread, didn't find it back now !

    Hi Pierre Le Gnome,

    I also have WIN 98 SE installed, but I have nothing in the registry under WindowsNT. There must be two WIN98 versions.

    I needed to change the following registry entries:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Version (=> replace Windows 98 by Windows NT)

    and

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\VersionNumber (==> replace 4.10.2222 by 5.20)

    Don't forget to change back afterwards (note the initial entries), otherwise you will have problems when installing other software !!!

    Strange Problems with Pendrives

    in Windows 9x Member Projects

    Posted · Edited by RodgerOver

    Hi,

    found this: http://bbs.mydigit.cn/read.php?tid=61480

    and this: http://bbs.mydigit.cn/read.php?tid=62781&uid=495034

    in the Chinese forum to which the link in LoneCrusador's last thread refers. Translated with Google. But I do not understand (at least not everything), because I do not have the technical knowledge.

    At the end of the second link, repair tools can be even downlaoded, but one need to be registered in the forum ... and I do not really know how to log in a Chinese forum :whistle:

    Strange Problems with Pendrives

    in Windows 9x Member Projects

    Posted

    Thanks Dencorso,

    tried the Microsoft fix and the pendrive was recognized :) , but as an unknown device :( . Tried to reinstall the driver but it does not want to accept the driver (??). What is also strange (and that is perhaps the reason why the driver does not want to install) is that in the Device manager, the pendrive is now shown under USB controllers (crossed out, i.e. showing a sign that somethhing is wrong) and not under Disk drives anymore. Tried also ChipGenius (under WIN 98SE !), but it gives the following message:

    Device Name:

    PnP Device ID: VID = PID = (Invalid)

    Serial Number: (Invalid)

    Revision: (Information not returned)

    Device Type: Generic USB Host Controller - USB2.0 High-Speed

    Chip Vendor: (No match record)

    Chip Part-Number: (No match record)

    Product Vendor: (No match record)

    Product Model:

    Tools on Web: (N/A)

    Then tested with the old pendrive, same message. So I think I need to find a computer with at least WIN 2000.

    Strange Problems with Pendrives

    in Windows 9x Member Projects

    Posted · Edited by RodgerOver

    Hi LoneCrusader,

    I have EXACTLY the same problem (3 month old 8 GB Kingston Data Traveller and several years old 1 GB Extrememory USB keys). But I do not have NUSB installed, but the WINTRICKS Driver from this Italian guy: http://www.wintricks.it/faq/usbpen98_2.html (you need to klick thorugh the whole explanation to find the dwonlaod link at the end).

    I believe it's a default of the Data Traveller which has to do with different international setups. (At the beginng everything worked fine, like also described by LoneCrusader). But after three month, the Data Traveller gave the same message than the one described by LoneCrusador). I managed to get the key to work again with USBDeview (please google) and recovered my saved files (you need to restart after having used USBDeview), but I wanted to clean the whole thing up and formatted it (after having recovered my saved files with USBDeview), but then the volume was reduced (something like 2 GB less). So I made a THOROUGH scandisk (native windows 98SE tool - takes many hours, because you have the double size, do it overnight). Somewhere in the process there was a question "whether I had a different international language setup". Unfortunately, I clicked to ignore (I am used to this kind of message, because my computer is multilanguage - German, French and English), but I remember that it proposed a solution to this .. can't remember. At the end scandisk said that everything was ok, but asked whether it was a problem, if the key was not labeled. At the very end I saw several (no even a lot of) folders on the USB key, which all had names in (I beleive) Chinese letters. I thought that this was necessary to have them and did not delete them. But now the Data Traveller is not recognized at all anymore. If I click on my removable disk shortcut on my desktop with the data traveller pluged in, it says that there is no USB key ???

    However if I use my old 1GB Extrememory, everything is ok !

    Does anyone has an idea, how to resolve this strange thing ?

    Could it be that the key is not recognized, because it has no label ? I think I will try to repeat the whole procedure again (beginning with USBDeview) and then when it asks for the label, put in the name "Data Traveller" ? Do I need to add "8 GB" to the labeling. Does someone has a Data Traveller can and give me the exact labbeling when the key is plugged in ?

    Thank you for your help.

    .docx converters to .doc

    in Windows 9x/ME

    Posted

    Hi Steven,

    I am referring to your first message of 1 October 2009, this one:

    If you already have MS's DotNet Framework 2.0 installed (or have the space to install)....

    You can use the ODF Converter Integrator:

    http://katana.oooninja.com/f/software/odf-...3-installer.exe

    And either OpenOffice.org 2.4.3 (Save as Microsoft Office DOC file):

    http://download.openoffice.org/2.4.3/index.html

    or if your using at least Office 2000, install Sun's ODF Plugin for Microsoft Office:

    http://www.sun.com/software/star/odf_plugin/

    I di d everything as you told:

    - 1st installed NetFramework 2.0,

    - 2nd the Sun plugin (I have Word 2000 installed) and

    - 3rd the odf converter integrator.

    Everything installed well and seems fine (the odf converter icon is on the docx file), but when I try to open the file there is first a DOSbox that is opening (and closing) and then the follwing error message:

    "Warning (odf-converter-integrator)

    OdfConverter subprocess returned non-zero retun code = 1".

    When I close this message, there is a second one:

    "Converted file did not not materialize: C:\[Name of the file].odt"

    Any idea where the problem comes from ?

    Thank you for your help !

    GDI Heap Extender

    in Windows 9x Member Projects

    Posted · Edited by RodgerOver

    May you help me on the installation instruction please?
    No. Sorry, i don't need testing anymore, nor do i have time to review testing results. GDI Heap Extender is unstable beta (stable for someone/thing, but not everyone/thing) and there are known problems which require major changes which i can't afford yet due to lack of time.

    Hi Tihiy,

    beta 2 works now perfect hier (WIN 98SE + 4.10.2222 + IE6SP with newest = beta (unofficial) updates).

    After install, 2 Dr Watson messages (even if Dr Watson is not in the taskbar anymore, but still in the startup after installing your software):

    1st message:

    Windows Briefcase used an invalid or uninitialized "critical section".

    Module Name: SYNCUI.DLL

    Description: Windows Briefcase

    Version: 4.10.1998

    Product: Microsoft® Windows® Operating System

    Manufacturer: Microsoft Corporation

    Application Name: Pdexplo.exe

    Description: PowerDesk

    Version: 5.0.1.6

    Product: PowerDesk

    Manufacturer: V Communications, Inc.

    --> Reinstalled SYNCUI.DLL with SFC from c:\windows\options\cabs

    But then again:

    2nd message:

    Windows Briefcase used a system resource improperly.

    Module Name: SYNCUI.DLL

    Description: Windows Briefcase

    Version: 4.10.1998

    Product: Microsoft® Windows® Operating System

    Manufacturer: Microsoft Corporation

    Application Name: Explorer.exe

    Description: Windows Explorer

    Version: 4.72.3612.1710

    Product: Microsoft® Windows NT® Operating System

    Manufacturer: Microsoft Corporation

    --> Reinstalled SYNCUI.DLL again with SFC from c:\windows\options\cabs

    I suppose I needed to do this operation twice, because PowerDesk is his "grafted" on WINExplorer.

    Then an one the (start) page of my internet provider, who was saying that I needed to edit some lines in IE (I believe) to correctly read the page (some pictures where missing). After some trial and error, I replaced Flash 9 with Flash 10 (oups, forgot to set back the registry from WIN NT to WIN 98, need to do that after this message).

    NOW everthing is fine and VERY STABLE (GDI and Systems in Bear is at 77% at the moment). GREAT WORK AGAIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

    Good luck !

    ...

    What settings do you have in compatibility tab for JRE installer?

    None. If I set it to Windows 2000 SP4 or Windows XP SP2, I get the following error:

    The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed.

    This can occur if you are running Windows in safe

    mode, or if the Windows Installer is not correctly

    installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance.

    Hi RetrOS,

    did you get your installer problem fixed ?

    Just for information:

    I installed Java 6 update 15 (and 14) flawlessly (no 1723 error on both - setting compatibility tab to WIN 98SE and disabling next generation plugin after installl) on WIN 98SE with Kernel Ex final + SESP4 beta + RP 9). I changed frm Java 5 update 20, because this panorama-applet did not work in Java 5 update 20: http://www.maltacamp.at/de/terrassencampin...0-panorama.html

    Does anyone know why this is ?

    By the way newest Spamihilator version (best (??) free spamfilter for outlook express) also installed and works without any problem : http://www.spamihilator.com/

    Thank you again Xeno (and Tihiy)

    Roger
