Nice that you solved the problem. Normally, there is no reason to install NUSB on Win ME. Win ME has the (HID) drivers by default. Maybe there is a problem between ME and QEMU.

DLL files are basically easy to find: https://www.dll-files.com/msvcr90.dll.html https://www.dlldump.com/download-dll-files_new.php/dllfiles/M/msvcr90.dll/9.00.21022.88/download.html msvcr70 7.00.9981.0: originaldll.com is currently down. https://originaldll.com/file/msvcr70.dll/16310.html https://web.archive.org/web/20220730162919/https://originaldll.com/file/msvcr70.dll/16310.html Older version: https://www.dll-files.com/msvcr70.dll.html KernelEx 4.5.2 for the end-user: https://sourceforge.net/projects/kernelex/ KernelEx Wiki: https://msfn.org/board/topic/186285-kernelex-wiki/ https://web.archive.org/web/20230506001046/https://kernelex.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=Category:Compatible_applications&redirect=no https://web.archive.org/web/20230602161148/https://kernelex.sourceforge.net/wiki/Help:Contents For testing.

I think a memory problem can largely excluded, if the entries [386Enh] MaxPhysPage=40000 and also a[vcache] MaxFileCache=393216 exist in the system.ini. MaxFileCache must be smaller than 524288. I believe, I had tested an similar board with AWARD BIOS probably fifteen years ago. As far as I remember 98 or ME didn't boot. I can't remember the details anymore. I use G31 boards Asus P5KPL (EPU and 1600) - but with AMI BIOS - without problems. IDE Config in BIOS must set on Compatible (PATA Mode, max four ATA devices). Let's see what the bootlog reveals. We have different installation discussions and instructions on this board and also elsewhere on the web. https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=52119 https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=41065

Yes, look for Integrated Peripherals/On-Chip SATA Mode: First I would try "Non-Combined - Sets all SATA devices to operate in PATA mode and disables the integrated IDE controller". Don't set Enhanced Mode. (Award BIOS) Make sure that you don't allow more than 4 ATA devices and they must work in IDE (PATA) Mode. Be aware, that 98SE isn't supported by manufacturer. So there is no guarantee that it works. Apart from that some members had success with RLoew's SATA Patch.

I did some quick tests on ME and probably the last fully working and stable version is 6.92. I already get access violations with version 7.00. From https://web.archive.org/web/20231215051734/https://www.aida64.com/ : "FinalWire Introduces AIDA64 v7.00 Revamped Design and AMD Threadripper 7000 Optimizations Posted | December 4, 2023 The new AIDA64 update introduces a revamped user interface with a configurable toolbar, as well as AVX-512 accelerated benchmarks for AMD Threadripper 7000 processors, AVX2 optimized ..." The developers have probably noticed this with v7.60 now. Version 7 and higher is only of limited use. It starts and runs by clicking the violation messages away. Memory Benchmarks and other things no longer work.

Could be this: SYSDM.CPL or search on https://www.mdgx.com/ (https://www.mdgx.com/web.htm)?

That's probably what you're looking for: https://web.archive.org/web/20210722053944/http://www.mdgx.com/files/USB20DRV.EXE (https://web.archive.org/web/20210506185314/http://www.mdgx.com/files/)

Indeed currently I have no Win98(SE) installation on a hard drive. I checked it on ME. It's probably just as it should be in the case of the DOS Box here. The box closes using the "Exit" command. But you changed the description of the problem. So maybe now you mean "Real DOS".

Youtube: The button "Remind ME Later" on request page for Browser update doesn't work anymore. Now also version 52 and Mypal 29.3 is affected. One solution is to change the useragent (Firefox 68 or higher). Or use RT's forks like Basilisk or Palemoon.

Yes now it runs on XP(SP3) here. But about: preferences => XML Parsing Error ...

I've done the reverse - You are right.

I replaced nssckbi.dll, but the message remains.

It doesn't run, but I can't test it on older processors and older XP. I mention it, because the older version of 20240606 (firefox-38.8.0-vc10-tls13.7z) is OK.

There could be a bug in that SP or something went wrong. You could reinstall IE(OE)5.5 or 6.0 from another source. I'm not very familiar with Win98 service packs, because I'm running WinME, but the following links should lead to all the information you need. https://msfn.org/board/topic/61749-98-se-sp-332/ http://www.htasoft.com/u98sesp/ http://www.techtalk.cc/viewtopic.php?f=1047&t=65&sid=aee9014099ffba7695b62484f7df4567
