My problem with Flash 10 (imageshack.us) = run FF with disabled KernelEx / Firefox 2 (Enabled only on FF 3.5)
I think this problem is flash-specific. See: this thread
...Opera 10 is the last modern browser (if you do not count SeaMonkey) you can run on Win9x.Ahem, K-Meleon?

sp193, thanks for posting status.
Among the programs I have working thanks to SH95UPD:
Virtually all incompatible 98/ME stock programs; InfraRecorder; GTK+ 2.6.10; import function in Firefox 2.
Opera 10 milestone 1606 and Firefox 3 need to point to the 98 shell; I mention these
because I don't think it's from missing ExtractIconExW/Shell_NotifyIconW functions.
SHGetSettings is used by a few programs, notably Tihiy's RP9 setup.

Flash 10 (and last 9 (v. 128) ) work with any problem (not full function on Imageshack.us. e.g.)
Do you have any idea what is wrong with me in my case? I can install Flash 10 on Firefox 2 with registry trick. However, my installed Flash 10 does not function.
On my system, Flash 10 works with Firefox 2 as long as KernelEx is enabled for firefox.exe.
The thing is, enabling it creates a problem with mailto links (Thunderbird 2 has the inverse problem).

...little silly problems such as the inability to properly size large directories...
I misunderstood. I rarely deal with such files; I view hdd free space a lot more often.

Agreed. There was no such patch.
Well, I don't use Windows 95 OSR2.x but I do use the shell32.dll 4.00.1112 (From Windows 95 OSR2.x) under Win98SE, and it still mis-calculates the file sizes that are greater than 4GB....(The file size would wrap round at 4GB, hence this shows that MS had only made the SHELL32.DLL to use 32-bits)
I have no official OSR2 shell to test, but I maintain that the >4GB display problem goes away when I use the patched 95B shell. Did you try it?

That's why I've developed SH95UPD to solve the Win95 shell32 missing exports problem with 3rd party programs.
Using it.
I have a small compatibility list for your thread if you want.
Controller has a 95 shell update that fixes this...I see now that it was probably fixed in OSR2, as the patched 95A shell doesn't do it and Controller doesn't mention it.

If autopatcher works for you, stick with it. Everything in there is about as recent and comprehensive
as possible. I wouldn't call 98se with IE6 stable, but it'll run supported apps with minimum hassle.
If it's stability you want, run a 98lite clean install with Gape's sp2.cab slipstreamed in. Zero effort, solid 98se.

I have to comment here: I've just tried Chun Sejin's Imagine and it is spot-on what I was looking for.
Super-solid; fast; non-flaky UI; intuitive operation (on an image viewer—imagine that!)
Proof that modern apps—however small—are in development for 9x.
Thanks, Drugwash, for bringing it to my attention.

Because using the Win95 shell with Win98 opens a whole other can of worms.
This is the first time I've seen 98lite's main draw referred to negatively.
My 98micro system has been running 5 years without a shell conflict.

I still use 98lite, and was one of the most prolific people attempting to get him to make a stable version 4.8 that would actually work, i.e., a "V2" implementation of the SLEEK shell. To this day we still have a paradox:
...
...use IE60 and suffer...
...
You're using SLEEK V1 interchangeably with 98lite's sleek shell-swap option. I thought SLEEK Vx was a buggy attempt to improve program compatibility by leaving shell32 as-is and pointing explorer and comdlg to shell95.dll.
Of course there are minor issues of the Win95 shell having little silly problems such as the inability to properly size large directories [over 4 GB]...Controller has a 95 shell update that fixes this...

I mention it because the developers include a non-unicode build specifically for Windows 9x.
A version based on Gecko trunk 1.9 is underway. Gecko 1.9 on Windows 95... imagine...
Does the latest Flock work on 9x?
