What's the problem of 6.10.xxxx? It works properly on my test systems...

Thanks tentonine, It's a very good batch file, maybe I'll use it later. For RC2, I think my solution is enough.

Sp2's shell32.dll is not modified, it is for 98lite Sleek and slipstreaming. Supp's shell32.dll is our old friend (from SP 1.6), it is modified for icons. OK, I hope I will fix "restart prompt" problem soon. Win2K colours and boot logo should not be installed because of this problem.

2.0 RC2 Softpedia RapidShare Fileforum (15.4 MB) What's new in RC2? - ADDED: 2 new hot-fixes (192425, 246817). - ADDED: All cosmetic enhancements of SP 1.6 such as Windows 2000 Desktop Icons. (Sorry, but they are not optional). - FIXED: Lots of bugs are fixed. (MaxCachedIcons typo bug, %DosNameHere" bug, Verinst.exe uninstallation bug, 256-color tray icons bug, Notepad patching on Sleek bug, Executing SP from different drive bug.) - REMOVED: General USB Mass Storage Device Drivers. (I recommend a much better generic drivers: http://rapidshare.de/files-en/516500/nusb20e.exe.html. My drivers doesn't support some devices and it has some bugs, we have a good alternative, so I removed it.)

I have just found the solution: %winbootdir%.\ cd %winbootdir% It works perfectly...

I want to change directory in addition to changing folder. This is possible on the Windows 2000/XP with "/d" parameter. cd /d %winbootdir% How can I do same thing on Windows 98? Thx.

All, I've not released RC2 yet, I'm sorry about that. (I have some exams at school). I follow all your posts, and try to fix all these problems. Hopefully, RC2 will be very stable, and I hope I'll release it asap. Thanks for your patience.

Yes, it's correct. I got your emails. Thanks.

In general, mixing DLL files with different languages is not a problem. But, SP (and some hot-fixes) is not just DLL files. It has some registry settings, some directory locations and some other files (VXD/SYS etc.) that can cause problems on different languages.

Hi, Probably these drivers are checking a Windows 98 SE file such as KERNEL32.DLL which is updated by SP 2.0. So, can you learn that which file is checked by this SMC drivers? Also can you try to install this drivers manually? Some drivers can be installed manually.

Thanks for the info. 2.0 RC1 has problems about patching. I'm working on it now. After solving these patching problems, I'll release 2.0 RC2.

PATCHE.EXE -> Explorer 256-color patcher. This will be removed in the RC2. PATCHNP.EXE -> Notepad.exe patcher. PATCHNPS.EXE -> Notepad.exe patcher for 98lite Sleek. PATCHRE.EXE -> Regedit.exe patcher. All patchers are made by WinPatcher. But, because there is a lot of problem on the Explorer.exe's patcher (i.e. file-in-use problems), I have removed it for the RC2. RC2 is ready, but I have not solved the problems about Windows 2000 desktop icons optional feature. So, probably I will return the old method (1.6.2) for installing desktop icons on the RC2.

I don't have it. Different Microsoft employers said that this patch is only for 98 GOLD (FE). It isn't for 98 SE.

You're right. VMM.VXD is the loader part of the VMM32.VXD. SP has a special installation method for it (RPLCLDR.EXE). But probably it's not related with jaberwock's problem. I sent Q192425 patch to MDGx.

Boot in safe mode. On the Device Manager, remove any IDE controllers and Primary, Secondary IDE controllers. Reboot in normal mode. Let the Windows recognise your IDE controllers and devices. This should solve the problem.

Did you installed SiS IDE drivers? You should install any drivers provided by SiS (IDE, AGP etc.)

Yes, please send it to me.

VMM32.VXD problem is interesting. I'll fix it, if it is a bug. Clean install on a real machine or on VMWare/VirtualPC? Can you write the exact error message? You should try that: In the SP's setup EXE, there is a SP2.CAB file, and it has VMM32.VXD. Extract it, and copy it as VMM.VXD into your installation (SYSTEM\VMM32 directory).

Please make sure that you read my previous post. Also, can you write your detailed hardware list? Mainboard, vga card, sound card etc.

Probably you can extract the update's contents with Winzip, Winrar or Tugzip. Right click on the file, and select "Open with Winzip".

So, if anyone strongly wants to replace these two files on a IE 6.0 installed system, he/she should use this updated browseui.dll from 867282 IE 5.5 SP2 update. Of course he/she can use an INF file for replacing, or she/he can replace these files on the real DOS mode.

English or French Windows? Firstly, you should install proper version of the SP. I highly recommend a freshly installed Windows 98 SE. Secondly, make sure that all your hardware drivers are installed and latest versions. Especially your mainboard related drivers should be installed (Intel INF, or VIA 4-in-1 etc.).

Microsoft still releases updates for IE 5.5 SP2 ? If so, maybe you can find updated IE 5.5 versions of browse* files.
