Same thing here. Already posted there: Shortcut to send a file to Opera but without real success. Thank you for sharing

lol Opera 11.10 is nice stuff, but a few things has changed, that I need to set up to have it as I want: new thumbnails for the new Speed Dial, put the 'Open with' command in my customized menus instead of 'Execute program', some buttons with a script embedded are no more working, deal with the problem of multiple folders, ... So, for now, I stay with the previous version a bit longer. BTW, I have tried (I think) nearly all translate extensions, and this one suits me better. I appreciate your help, loblo .

Thanks loblo, for all those , but it seems that Opera 11.10 will take me some time to fix eveything the way I want. I can't deal with it currently. The 'operaprefs_default.ini' file you are providing, create a new 'profile' folder and makes Opera behave like an Usb install. I was already thinking about switching from a classic install to a standalone one, to avoid this spread out of folders. For now, I am using the original 'standard_skin.zip' with Opera 11.01, to get my extension working.

NO AV for years, but: * Update every component. For IE6 and OE6 (even if you don't use them), don't forget Maximus Decim InternetExplorer 6.0sp1 Component Update 3.4 * I use SpywareBlaster 4.4 for years: prevent the installation of spyware and other potentially unwanted software. * Use a up-to-date Hosts file. For instance Mvps Hosts File * There is also this old stuff, but it has not been updated for years : BugOff * I run HijackThis from to time, to see if anything has changed. * The main threat nowadays is from USB keys (or players, ...) IMO, and I use to avoid them the excellent Autorun Eater 2.5 beta, with KernelEx. See here: #1067. HTH Charles.

frogman, I'm using mp3DirectCut for years. It is fully compatible with Windows 98/Me! No install is required. His main interest is that it is non-destructive, that means you can do as much as operations you need with it, without loosing any quality and instantly. Audacity, for instance allow you to do much more, but you have first to edit (decompress) the file in Wave, and at the end to re-encode it in MP3. HTH Charles.

OK, my bad: I was testing with Opera 11.01 (because there's too much stuff that I don't like in 11.10: new Speed Dial, files are now dispatched in 3 places including 2 in %windir%, some commands are no more working like 'Execute program', ...) So, with version 11.01 (build 1190), this new skin doesn't make any difference. In version 11.10 build 2092, whatsoever skin (the previous or the last) displays the correct button.

loblo, your skin is breaking an extension: Translator The button is not working well with the fixed skin: Could you be kind enough to take a look in this issue when you'll have some time? I don't think it should be such a big deal. Many thanks in advance.

Here it is: KernelEx Wiki > Compatible applications Charles

Adobe Shockwave Player = 11.5.9r615

Very nice! Definitely better. Many thanks loblo.

I've looked at two different win-98 systems and neither have that "webview" key in the registry. As you said, I don't have this registry value either here in my Windows 98 SE pc .

loblo, there is still minor differences for thumbnails, between your fixed skin and the standard skin in XP. They are so minor that I'm not sure they are worthy of report: and I don't know if they can be easily corrected . Most of them aren't broken with the original skin in Windows 98/Me.

Yes, but does it works on Windows 95/98/98SE/ME (this forum)? I always thought it won't be reliable.

loblo you rock I really appreciate your work.

That's a good idea. Could have a place in the Compatibility database of the KernelEx Wiki. But you should read at least also this other thread: KernelEx App Compatibility Database .

Of course! So, I have tested the 'standard_skin.zip' in main Opera\skin directory with Opera 11.01 & with Opera 11.10 alpha (=Barracuda). Here are a few things I have found: 1- Ugly color on the address bar beginning: 2-Black frame remaining in Security infos (=click on left of the address bar): and with some Extensions (tried with Icon List by Vectronic): HTH Charles. EDIT: you can now change the thread title to '... Opera 11' .

duffy98, read here in Microsoft Support: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290700 (about the 290700usam.exe), in section RESOLUTION: When you install this update, a checkpoint is automatically generated. That could explain a part of your problem .

Cheers . PS: you may upload some files here on MSFN. (Max allowed amount is 1000 KB.) EDIT: this file is slightly different from the former but definitely better. BLUEC_STARTBUTTON_BMP1.bmp Enjoy!

Hi TmEE, the new start button has to be renamed from 'BLUEC_STARTBUTTON_BMP11.bmp' to 'BLUEC_STARTBUTTON_BMP1.bmp' in order to match with the skin_Superbar.ini ... but it is no improvement for me: EDIT (after further reflexion): I have used the work you had already done to carve this fixed button. I hope it fulfills your wish. [File removed. See below.]

AFAIK, last versions compatible with Windows 98 SE are: MSSTDFMT.DLL version 6.00.8450 OLEAUT32.DLL version 2.40.4520

Thanks a lot.

I have try the last build of Opera called Opera 11.10 “Barracuda: Version 11.10 alpha - Révision 2005 and it seems to run fine with last KernelEx installed (and compatibility setting to Win 2000 Sp4).

True but its also works on Win98SE. What is the roadmap to give a try with it? Does it sucks a lot of ressources/Ram (that is to say Does it need a powerful install? apart from disk space).

Hi Alan, it's not that easy, unfortunately. Read this thread for instance: Knowing what update / upgrade pack to use You could also take a look at this page in Fredledingue's site: Windows 98SE Updates Post Unofficial Service Pack 3-b4.

It works on 98SE too! I thought that Windows Me was the first OS including System Restore.
