When I install the service pack I get a "registry corruption" error after the reboot. Then SCANREG attempts to fix the registry, but the error persists after every reboot. So, the Win98 becomes completely disabled...
How can I try out this service pack? What am I to do? Could you check your C:\MSDOS.SYS file? It must contain "SystemReg=0" line...

-every patch
-all updates
-directx
-.net 1.1, 2.0
-ie6sp1, mp9
-etc.
Simpy perfect. Only thing still missing is an updated driver package...
BTW: i don't give a XXXXX about download size anyway
It was discussed before. They're big, they have different versions, and some people don't like some of them such as Media Player 9 (I don't like it, too
).However, I can include updates for some of them, especially for IE 6.0 SP1.
@Lunac: It works on my test system. On the other hand, I strongly recommend that, you should backup your system (You can use Emergency Recovery Utility for a quick and simple backup).

@all: If anyone can, could they code a little message to say that. Maybe I could get someone to modify the popup in infex 0.3beta to say that.
You can easily add a popup message with IExpress.

* New INFEX is improved much. The ugly BATCH window has gone (No RUNPOST.BAT).
* Slipstream support is improved.
* Windows 2000 icons and color scheme will only be installed if you choose "Windows 2000 Theme".
* Unofficial updates are added such as UPDATE.SYS, VOLTRACK.VXD and KRNL386.EXE.
Of course, there is some new official updates.

I have the 2.0 BETA 3 service pack. I assume it would be a simple task to upgrade to this new version? I am not really a computer person, so I hope you don't mind me asking.
Thanks, John
Simply install the current version over the BETA 3. Don't forget the close all open programs.

* Try much lower MaxFileCache setting.
128 MB:
MaxFileCache=131072
* Also try to decrease AGP Aperture Size from BIOS.
This problem may occur more readily with Advanced Graphics Port (AGP) video adapters because the AGP aperture is also mapped to addresses in the system arena. For example, if Vcache is using a maximum cache size of 800 MB and an AGP video adapter has a 128-MB aperture mapped, there is very little address space remaining for the other system code and data that must occupy this range of virtual addresses.0 -
Happy new year to all !

3) Is the problem about Windows 2000 icons (which I've already mentioned) resolved?
No. It will be resolved in the next version.

SPUPDATE.INF contains:
; 313829
HKLM,"%CurrentVersion%\RunOnce","q313829..",,"%25%\Verinst.exe q313829"so everything should be OK.
IE6SP1 has a bug about this update, it just removes this information during setup. So, I recommend that you should install USP2 after installing IE6SP1.

and I would like to see the pack display a dialog box asking whether or not to un-install the 98se SP.
Double-clicking on SE SP in Add/Remove programs uninstalls the pack immediately, without prompting
the user whether to uninstall the pack or not. that's kinda dangerous since one time I accidently clicked on the uninstall SE SP entry in Add/Remove programs on a Win98se machine. ouch!
2.1a does that.

Is there an alternative installation method?
maybe another number than ",4"
Use ",32"

@plop:
This is a normal situation. Because 982ME installs some newer WinME files. I think keeping newer files is a good idea.
But you can re-install latest 98SE2ME after installing 98SESP to make sure that everything is OK.

Thanks for the info.

Hi Gape, thanks for ideas but everything mentioned above seems to be OK.
Additional ideas:
* Did you install latest firmware for your CD-writer ?
* Did you try to update Nero's ASPI, too ?
* Did you disable the "AutoRun" setting of the CD-writer ?

Have you ever tried the WinME's SPOOL32.DLL ?
Do you mean SPOOL32.EXE or SPOOLSS.DLL?
I mean SPOOLSS.DLL.
But you can try both of them, too.0 -
I use to have Nero 5.5 with a Lite-On CD-RW burner that worked fine before I formatted and reinstalled 98SE, then my Lite-On DVD-RW drive and finally the service pack.
I cannot burn nrg files or even iso files... when I try, I get a "Command Sequence Error / Cannot Start Disc-at-once" error message and the burn fails.
After numerous and frankly useless e-mails with both Nero and Lite-On tech support, I assume there might be a problem with my setup and the service pack.
So, I hope someone can see this and maybe relate?
* Did you install Adaptec's ASPI ?
* Did you install AMD IRQ Driver ?

I have one problem with my fully patched Windows 98 SE system, either with the original ASPI, or with Adaptec ASPI 4.60 or with 4.71.2.
When any application, like Nero, wants to find the CD burner, the system completely freezes for upto several minutes, mouse is dead, clock is not incrementing seconds, nothing. After that delay everything works well but it is very very annoying.
It should not be a problem of ASPI layers, because Nero has own ASPI layer, and it does not use Adaptec's ASPI.
* Did you install your latest IDE drivers for your mainboard, too?
* Check that your CD-ROM drivers' DMA is enabled.
* Look at your CD writer's manual, what do they recommend about master and slave settings ?

for years I have annoying problems with Invalid Page fault during system startup. They are related to Fineprint and pdfFactory dipatchers.
Have you ever tried the WinME's SPOOL32.DLL ?

In fact, I don't like to add any 3-rd party program into the SP. But, Notepad is an exception. So, I wonder your opinion about Notepad replacements.
Thanks.

Why doesn't the hack (Supposed to show detailed processor info. like stepping, etc.) in the registry where you add a space between the "VendorIdentifier" string value under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Hardware\Description\System\CentralProcessor\0 work after I installed 98SE Service Pack?
Please look at this topic.

1.7 is the most compatible imo (and many others). i know Gape knows this so why the change it ?
It was only an idea, but I removed it from the list. Thanks for the feedback.

OLEAUT 4522 finally no good for me :
I hadn't used eMule since quite a long time and a few days ago I tried to use it again and to my surprise it systematically froze the entire OS (including mouse and keyboard) after about 5-10 minutes of use, forcing to reboot the PC using the power button.
I did downgrade several recently updated sytstem files in use by eMule to finally find out that the culprit was OLEAUT 4522. I did downgrade to version 4275.1 from VB6.0-KB290887-X86 to clear out the problem. This also apparently cleared a non terminal BSOD during boot that I was attributing so far to some vxd.
Could you try the OLE files from IE 6.0 SP1? They are in the OAINST.CAB and their version is 4518.

Maximus-Decim NUSB: Generic USB driver for mass storage devices such as USB flash disks.

Yes it works with the two lines....
Thanks WebMatze. It looks like a language problem. Does anyone have this problem in English Win 98 SE?
@swgreed: It looks like DSOUND.DLL problem is similar. Please, add these two lines for DSOUND.DLL and COMPOBJ.DLL to solve "in use" problems.

How can I try out this service pack? What am I to do? 
Unofficial update - new version - crashed system!

I recommended to add "SystemReg=0", *not* to add "Backup=0"...
This registry problem rarely occurs on the some systems because of the new IO.SYS file (WINBOOT.SYS / Q311561). This update has a problem which is not fixed by Microsoft. A workaround is to add "SystemReg=0" into the MSDOS.SYS.
