Guys, this is a thread about KernelEx, not one about I've installed a browser and messed up my html filetypes associations...

Came across this little known one, PerigeeCopy (http://www.xmission.com/~jstanley/pscopy.html). It is IMO very good, I think I am going to keep it installed. Source code included btw for those who are programmers.

This is the normal behaviour of Windows, nothing to do with KernelEx and it can be disabled in the advanced options of the System Configuration Utility (type msconfig in the run box and then go to the advanced dialog and check disable scandisk after bad shutdown should you wish to disable it) . As for cross-linked files, it makes sense to make copies of them, however, since cross-linked files are files sharing identical filesystem clusters, something which should not normally happen, it is likely that those copies will have corrupted content. Other than that I would append to log rather than replace it.

Frogman, everyone knows what your problem is by now... And everyone also knows by now that if you want Shockwave 11 to run, the most likely is that you need a more recent CPU than the one you have, one that supports SSE instructions, in addition to have KernelEx installed. As for your question about setting such or such compatibility mode for control.dll, why don't you try it yourself instead of asking???

Very cool feature. First time I saw it was in Akelpad not long ago where it's called sort by integers and I thought it would be rather cool to have that in explorer as well but with little hope it would ever happen. Thanks Tihiy.

The installer is not the problem. Yes it crashes but apparently when it does it has already installed all the files and written all the registry entries needed so that the software can run properly. And it is not 64bit vs 32bit CPU either I guess albeit I would think the issue is indeed CPU related. What's probably happening is that your CPU doesn't even support SSE instructions and that the shockwave player 11 makes use of those instructions. If I am not mistaken, CPUs older than Intel Pentium 3 and AMD AthlonXP don't have SSE registers.

In case you didn't notice, the files you are looking for are mirrored in the post just above yours.

Frogman, I have an Athlon64 FX-55 CPU clocked at 2.6Ghz which is SSE2 capable. And by all executable I just meant to say that no particular setting was needed for both installing and then running shockwave 11 in browsers.

I remember xeno said something about pipes with regards to the new java plugin quite a while ago.

I am pleased to say that the superb Blender 2.55 Beta, which is, I think, built on Python 3.1, seems to work perfectly fine in 2K mode. It's much nicer and much more user friendly than the previous versions which I could never get the hang of. I haven't tested it extensively but I have spent the last couple of hours with it and I could import and export obj files , work on them, save and load a project and also render the scene with the latest LuxRender which I have been able to integrate in it without problems.

Full installer (didn't try the slim one) and default KernelEx settings on all executables.

Posted in this thread as proof it runs with KernelEx... and you really couldn't figure out whether it was supposed to be a 98 or 2K screenshot? Saying no more...

FWIW, latest Shockwave installer crashes here but seems to nevertheless install properly and it runs in Firefox 3.6 but not in Opera (10.70 Build 9050, currently my default browser) Edit: Actually it works in Opera as well, it turns out I had KernelEx disabled on Opera.exe (and forcing default mode on opera.dll) for some reason so I did put back opera.exe in default mode and it runs perfectly now.

This must have cost you a little fortune to buy all that.

Latest version (1.4.2703) from XvidVideo.RU running. I thought I'd mention it since the version on Sourceforge (1.4.2499), which is much easier to find, doesn't run. http://www.xvidvideo.ru/media-player-classic-home-cinema-x86-x64/

Don't worry about installing IE6 (SP1), it's painless. I finally upgraded to it only a couple of months ago because I needed it to run foobar2000 0.9 series properly (in conjunction with KernelEx) and this fixed the missing "lock taskbar" and "lock toolbars" which I was also suffering from but did not really care about. Actually I don't even think I ever had those with the IE 5.5 shell.

I guess reinstalling IE6 may fix your missing "lock taskbar" menu item.

Could this vulnerability be in any way related to this rather fishy (IMO) little known ability of shortcuts?

Interesting, I didn't know that FAT32 could hold 16386 more files than it can have clusters. I was also surprised to discover that FAT16 doesn't support compression.

Thank you very much Tihiy. Not sure how I managed to discover that software only so recently. It's most probably going to become my notepad replacement now. Thanks again, cheers.

Any feedback/news on the Akelpad crash front Tihiy?

I am surprised you did manage to get the converter working with 0.9.5.6 since I am also running this build and had to replace the foo_converter component with the one from an older build to get this to work. CD playback is not working and this I could do nothing about since all older CD components that were compatible with this version fail to detect the CD drives but this is no big deal. The open folder command is also not working but I have been able to replace that with the identical command of the third party foo_run component. Why I have settled with 0.9.5.6 is because no more recent build is able to build an album list database. Finding components compatible with old versions can be very tricky and in some cases apparently nearly impossible even though they aren't that old, nonetheless by dowloading all sorts of foobar components packs and foobar mods I have been able to gather a lot of them who work with this version 0.9.5.6. Let me know which component you are after and you can't find as I'll probably have it unless it is a newer one which did not exist yet at the time of 0.9.5.6 and will be hence unlikely compatible with it. As for why 1.1 doesn't run, there is more to it than just heapqueryinformation such as encodepointer and decodepointer (and the same goes for most newly compiled components), MSVC2010 oblige.

My system which is Windows ME with a VIA chipset and an AMD Athlon64 2.6Ghz CPU (but no SB Live)is certainly victim of those and I can't run half of the Tolvan Data programs because of it. http://www.tolvan.com/products/ And both the test programs posted at http://www.econos.de/fpu/ crash on my machine. Is there a possible fix for that?

As it's quite hard to find old components for foobar, here is a list of archived components for foobar 0.8 series (the last that runs natively on 98/ME). http://foobar2000.h12.ru/components_old.html And btw, the use of the ASIO output component also requires to have an ASIO driver installed such as Asio4All (http://www.asio4all.com/).

Will do but it's not going to happen anytime soon I guess since there are only a few 10.70 builds who run under 98/ME even with KernelEx. I'll do a new skin when/if we get all 10.70/11 builds to run properly. And of course I'll update the skin for the 10.60 builds if anyone finds issues with it (I am not using all of its many functions so I might have eventually missed/overlooked a few things).
