  1. As far as I can recall Photoshop Album crashed my Windows ME system so badly that I removed it permanently a few days after install.
  2. For windowscodecs.dll you could also try installing a working Windows Imaging Component in your system as per my topic about it here: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/171338-windows-imaging-component/
  3. Breaks the execution of the only vbscript I use.
  4. Sure you can as I just did it. They don't play too well together however, I couldn't pause the video and audio was choppy. Unfortunately those bugs/incompatibilities will never be fixed so I'd recommend to use latest/current Zoom Player (v9.41 as of this writing) with LAV as they work flawlessly together. PotPlayer's also an option, although running the latest builds requires editing one import by ordinal from shell32.dll in potplayer.dll (can be done with Detect It Easy). And in case someone still wouldn't manage to get LAV running, it's also necessary to replace msvcrt.dll by msvcr70.dll.
  5. LAV 0.63 works absolutely fine here (splitter, audio and video) so I guess you might be missing some definitions in the kernel32 section of your kstub822.ini, LAVVideo appears to require all this (probably not the best/most optimal definitions but it works): GetLogicalProcessorInformation=f2 GetNumaHighestNodeNumber=f1 InitializeSListHead=f1 InterlockedFlushSList=f1 InterlockedPopEntrySList=f1 InterlockedPushEntrySList=f2 QueryDepthSList=f1 Also, you may want to try processing the bundled dlls with jumper's gccfix.exe instead of UPXing them. (The LAV ax files don't require either as the are compiled with MSVC.)
  6. Even if you'd manage to overcome this (presumably) Vista and above dependency, you'd encounter many other problems with recent versions of MPC-HC. I managed to get earlier builds to run, using ReactOS uxtheme.dll and some other hacks, but none were fully functional, the best I got was video playback with no audio. Last good MPC-HC version is probably 1.5.1.2903 which most certainly can be configured to use latest Lavfilters (v. 0.63 as of this writing). I think this topic should be stickied btw.
  7. After unsuccessfully trying to do lots of things in the bat files themselves I ended replacing the bat and pif drophandlers in the registry by the windows script host drophandler. From: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\batfile\shellex\DropHandler] @ = "{86C86720-42A0-1069-A2E8-08002B30309D}" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\piffile\shellex\DropHandler] @ = "{86C86720-42A0-1069-A2E8-08002B30309D}" To: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\batfile\shellex\DropHandler] @ = "{60254CA5-953B-11CF-8C96-00AA00B8708C}" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\piffile\shellex\DropHandler] @ = "{60254CA5-953B-11CF-8C96-00AA00B8708C}" Works nicely, now the output of my batch files using %1 arguments is always LFN. However, this would presumably break working with 16bit dos programs that can't handle LFNs but in this case it would be easy to temporarily toggle those values with a couple of registry files. And btw processing multiple files using forfiles.exe from the Win98 resource kit and bat files always results in LFN output regardless of which drop handler is being used.
  8. I don't do VoIP so I don't really know but if I did I'd I'd try MicroSIP or Phoner/Phoner Lite.
  9. Sounds like a hardware issue, memory or motherboard dying I would guess. You can always retrieve the data by plugging your drive on another machine provided it's not a HDD failure issue (works cold but fails as soon as it gets hotter).
  10. It's not clear what USB devices you're speaking about. If it's mass storage ones then this is "normal" (bug) I think as I can't boot into Windows ME either if any USB mass storage device is plugged. Not sure if there is a solution or workaround beyond unplugging those device for booting as I haven't really much followed USB discussions on here. You should give say which devices exactly causes crash when you plug after boot them otherwise I am afraid nobody's gonna be able to help you with that. Usually I fix any USB problem I have by deleting all the USB subkeys in the registry under the HKLM/Enum key and reboot but I don't think this is going to help you. You can try nonetheless.
  11. I still have the RAM patch installed so I have a full 2GB. I removed the RAM because I had annoying issues not being able to boot with BIOS shutting down the computer after "USB overcurrent detected" message and this appears to be a common issue with those A8V boards with 4GB and some BIOS software version. It's a "new" board and BIOS is v1017, I had the latest beta with the the old one and also had this problem but not so frequently. I don't want to flash the BIOS right now as I don't have a spare board yet in case it fails. I replaced the board because the old one died with VCore voltage all over the place (capacitors failure). I like those boards but they end up dying easily because of blown capacitors. I have 4 dead ones now (one or two of which I bought dead or almost already). I think the next "big" thing I'll attempt at some point is to resurrect one of them by replacing the capacitors with polymer ones. 2GB is enough anyway to run WinME and all the sotware I have comfortably.
  12. Well not quite anymore as I've fried my 7950GT due to power supply problems and use a 5200 since then. I also only use 2GB of RAM at the moment.
  13. A 720p YouTube video consumes about 200MB of RAM and uses 80-95% of my Opteron 154 CPU (2.8Ghz). About half the RAM and CPU for a 480p one. I couldn't play a 720p one smootlly with Flash 13 so decoding performance of Flash has obviously improved a bit with v14 but Flash is still an unoptimized CPU hog as playing the same 720p video downloaded on the desktop with PotPlayer uses only about 45% of my CPU and streaming it in QMPlay2 uses only a bit more than that.
  14. Nope, not so far, Opera 12.02 is the most recent "big" browser that can run AFAIK. And if somebody had been successful at running a more recent version, we would have heard about it I think. As I posted in another thread, the further I managed with 12.16 or 17 is have it to load but I always got a message that autoupdate fails or something like that and I never got to see the UI. I couldn't find a workaround for that and I finally gave up after many attempts, I am happy with 12.02 anyway as it does everything I need and some more.
  15. Latest flash (v14) runs fine in Opera 12.02 with KernelEx and KxStub. And it runs better and smoother than previous versions which were quite buggy IMO. Problem with html5 videos is that no browser running on 98/ME supports the VP9 codec which YouTube now uses for those if I am not mistaken.
  16. This: http://www.videohelp.com/tools/WMNicEnc It only takes avs scripts as input so you'll also need to install avisynth too: http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Avisynth Not an easy solution but if you want wmv as output, this is it I guess.
  17. Thanks jumper, very useful!
  18. It's best IMO to add function definitions only as the need for them arises.
  19. Is that so? I have GetLogicalProcessorInformation=f2 in my kstub822.ini and it sure allows me to run certain programs...
  20. Add a definition for that function in the kernel32.dll section of your kstub822.ini, reboot and try your program again. For example: GetLogicalProcessorInformation=f2 And make sure you read this topic entirely and thoroughly before you ask any more question as this is something you could have figured out by yourself easily if you had done so.
  21. If this is a on fresh ME install with nothing updated I suggest you install the (unofficial) Windows ME service pack and IE6SP1 and see how it fares after that.
  22. Perhaps but the oldest version I can find (from 2010) requires KernelEx. http://classic-web.archive.org/web/20100611204417/http://www.dvbsupport.net/download/index.php?act=view&id=230 If there is one to be found it would be korean language only I guess.
  23. Recent versions of PotPlayer are great but don't run on stock 98/ME. Up to version 1.6.47358.0 it requires KernelEx and UPXing. And the current version you mention doesn't run unless potplayer.dll is additionally edited because of a missing ordinal 727 dependency in Shell32.dll. Replacing that ordinal with one present in 98/ME shell32.dll allows it to run but it crashes on trying to use the playlist unfortunately.
