  1. nLite barfed with the rollup: "Windows2000-UURollup-v10d-x86-ENU - Hotfix integration failed. Verify that the architecture, language, and service pack level of this service pack update are valid for the target distributon folder. Please report if this is unexpected." So, now what?
  2. I am really hot to get the latest and thensome. The only way i can support (some) is with a few nickels (AKA financially). If this is acceptable, please indicate so, and what a reasonable amount might be. . It might be a while before i get back here to see responses,so please write/copy directly to me: robertbaer(at)localnet(dot)com. Thanks.
  3. I have never had those problems with Win2K; perhaps you should start with a blank or wiped drive. Do the build with the internet connection chopped off; turning power off things these daze does NOT turn things off! Yes, Win2K has a 4GB limit, but that is for a running program (less a small space at the top end); you should find that the OS and most support programs/files will be "outside the box". Be advised that if you manage to trick the system into writing a file larger than 4GB, that there will be troubles in River City (and then some).
  4. That is what i have..a multi-boot machine. Started with Win98SE, added DOS then added Win2K which created the multi-boot choice menu. But it sure would be (very) nice if the sound and video worked..the same way as it does in Win2K...
  5. Did not count number of devices, but those that are not satisfied does not include ACPI; the list is: Motherboard resources Motherboard resources PCI Bridge PCI Card PCI System Management Bus Unknown Device Last 4 are all grouped together. I believe that without the PCI drivers, the MB resources cannot work; all related to one of the "bridges" (North bridge or South bridge) not having software support. And that is why i tried KernelEX and all of the patches i could manage: registry changes to make it see WinXP and 5.10.2600 and same in various boot and boot support files. Came to find out on an Win98SE NG that KernelEx was intended to support only a few programs for the writer only and thus at this time is not useful in a more general sense. So maybe because no bridge support the NVIDIA drivers have no hope of working. ** ACPI is disabled in the BIOS setup; as i remember that has to do with power fault monitoring etc and i have no need for power flim-flam.
  6. 1. Operating system version: is it Windows 98 Gold (aka First Edition), Windows 98 Second Edition or Windows Millennium? -->Win98SE 2. KernelEx version - as displayed at the bottom of the Compatibility tab or in Add/Remove Programs tab -->Unknown; "compatibility tab"? what is that? first i heard about that. 3. Program vendor, program name and program version. -->KernelEx homepage by Xeno, 4.0 RC2 released on 2009-03-21 4. Description of the problem. -->No clue that it can work 5. Exact steps required to reproduce the problem - what to click and what to press after the program starts -->Starts? Are you kidding? What i did: Replaced [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion] * I had: Win98SE Win2K: Version "Windows 98" <nil> VersionNumber "4.10.2222" <nil> ProductName Microsoft Windows 98 <nil> * Now is: Version "Windows XP" VersionNumber "5.10.2600" ProductName "Microsoft Windows XP" Replaced [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion] * I had: Win98SE Win2K: (Default) (value not set) CurrentVersion 5.0 ProductName Microsoft Windows 2000 * I now have: (Default) "" CurrentVersion "5.1" ProductName "Microsoft Windows XP" Version "Windows XP" Installed Unicows.DLL and registered it Installed KernelEX Modified \Bootsec.DOS (to read MSWIN 5.1 and WIN XP) Modified \MSDOS.SYS (to read MSWIN 5.1) Modified \Windows\Winver.exe (to read 5.10.6200 and Windows XP in 2 places) Modified \Windows\W98setup.bin (to read 5.10.6200 in 2 places) Modified \Windows\Command.com *Negative effect: MSDOS shell doesn't work Even after all of that, sysinfo gives: Microsoft Windows XP 4.10.2222 A So do not know what else to fudge to fix the 4.10.2222... Still..the ASUS M2N-MX SE Plus CD bitches saying it dislikes WIN_4.11 as an OS; cannot find that string *anywhere*. So, what do i do to make it work? Is there a way to test the above patch? 6. Did the program work prior to installing KernelEx? Does disabling KernelEx in compatibility tab fix the problem? - important to classify the category of the bug. -->See above
  7. Do not know about ACPI drivers, first i heard that they might be useful or even needed. The Win98 install was done with a different, much older board (and CPU), and it would be big time (a number of daze) to re-install as i would have to start from scratch: blank HD, install Win98SE with upteen programs, then Win2K and its umpteen programs, and try to get all the personal data (larger yet) across; ain't gonna happen. Device manager has two "motherboard resources" (really useful and helpful and complete info, eh?) as not satisfied, default works for monitor; am using a universal VBE9x driver for VESA mode 103 (600x800 256 colors) as the best found that actually works ("VBE MiniPort" by Anapa Corp). Does NOT work: UNIVBE.DRV - Win98SE continuously beeps at load and then freezes; muchly UNrecommended! My PCIE video board is the NVIDIA GeForce 8400GS; i have no clue as to the equivalent NVIDIA chip number on the motherboard. Sound does not work; the RealTek ALC662 chip drivers for older OSes are conspicusly absent (the ADS PTV-390 Conexant driver is also for "modern" OSes). Forgive me but i have really messy notes; things scratched out, notes added thenscrached, etc - BUT somewhere i got what seemed to be a proper driver for use in Win98SE; the Wdm_a406.exe which runs and *looks* like it installs. Other than that, it DOES NOTHING. Cannot say anything about the ethernet port; cannot test it as have no hardware for that. USB works except for a very wierd Verbatim "drive", the version i have was unique of 20 or so that are of identical type and name by them; used a universal "stack" program called "nusb32e.exe" which works like a charm. * Sorry about all of the info, but i think that others using Win98SE might want to know about possible options. ** Meanwhile, how do i get KernelEx to work? (and test it)
  8. Well, after a lot of trouble getting an un-corrupted NV8269 driver set, there wre oter problems. Installing it came up with the following absurdity: "no NVIDIA chip found". But the ASUS motherboard M2N-MX SE Plus has an on-board video NVIDIA chip, and the video board i am using also uses an NVIDIA chip! So i decided to ignore that and use the Control Panel Display Advanced section and select the driver OR did i try "add new hardware" (so long ago i do not remember); got the message again. Forcing useage of the driver gives a lot of grief: 640x480 16 colors AT BEST! Patched registry to read Windows XP and 5.10.2600 everywhere appropiate. Installed Unicows.DLL and registered it Installed KernelEX Modified \Bootsec.DOS (to read MSWIN 5.1 and WIN XP) Modified \MSDOS.SYS (to read MSWIN 5.1) Modified \Windows\Winver.exe (to read 5.10.6200 and Windows XP in 2 places) Modified \Windows\W98setup.bin (to read 5.10.6200 in 2 places) Modified \Windows\Command.com *Negative effect: MSDOS shell doesn't work (because KernelEx eates conventional memory, i think). Even after all of that, sysinfo gives: Microsoft Windows XP 4.10.2222 A And the ASUS motherboard CD barfs complaining about "WIN_4.11". So, how the heck do i fix it?
