Vcache also caches reads as well as writes, so disabling write-behind caching is unlike to completely disable Vcache.

Experiment. Don't be afraid to try a bunch of variations. It's only software.

Those are good to start with. Sort your points by depth (z) and draw from back to front.

Explorer slowly grows. Kill and reload it.

Google "codec pack for nt 4.0"

It depends upon which module that instruction is in. Any process viewer can tell us. I use ProcWin v1.6 (my build) or TaskInfo2000 v2.1. Dependency Walker in profiling mode will also reveal module load addresses. Or try a different codec pack. If it works, great. If the error is different, it's probably the codec; keep trying. If the error is the same, it could be WMP7's AVI file parser or splitter; not good, the file is invalid or otherwise incompatible.

Posted messages have different priorities. Draw messages are higher than paint messages. Too many draws will block painting, sometimes until another action causes a paint message to be sent.

Throttle the window update rate to prevent queue saturation.

Please clarify interfaces used for each drive.

Usb, Firewire, or eSata? Don't hotplug the drive; only dis/connect when system is powered down.

Ntfs has continued to evolve since the last versions of all 9x-compatible tools. You must reformat the drive to an earlier version of Ntfs using NT4 or similar. Others options include: networking to the drive (installed in another computer or NAS box); run Linux or similar in a VM inside 9x.

Not easily. Least effort would be to manually install, then backup for future restoration.

Subst causes Windows to use DOS compatibility mode. That was okay for my aging 98se box for many years.

Shell32.dll has corruption in the Import tables. First entry, so probably the fault of UPX or other compression.

Perhaps. Please provide a document and code sample.

I'm still having trouble getting changes applied to the pif, like W98 is buffering a la ini files. But did finally get CoE to set 10h at 63h.

It's just where it should be in the 386 section. Follow the 16-bit chain of headers to find the 386 section. Chain starts at 171h as legacy section header actually follows its data. Header struct (size 22d/16h): Char [16d/10h] - szSectionName Word Next, dataOffset, dataLength You have an extra 16h+6h in your section calculation. Maybe an extra 286 section that mine (98 and ME) don't have? (Sorry, can't post files from pc now.)

1B0h in my pif tests on 98: Fc/b y.pif z.pif Will try again on ME. Update: Close on Exit is 01h at 1B0h on 98 and ME, so !Suggest must be 04h at same on both.

Try profiling it in Dependency Walker for clues as to which module is causing it to abend.

You're running in full-screen and don't want to be interrupted by Windows, so for best performance you should be in MS-DOS mode. 1. Don't dismiss the dialog! Run the wizard to create a new shortcut. 2. Use the other tabs to set better options. 3. Install a program that will click the buttons for you. 4. Use a different VM to run the more challenging DOS programs.

Means at least 3 ( >= 3 ).

Or after 12/31/2107. All other dates get wrapped into that range. This is correct for FAT partitions.

Patching the import table is easy.

Thanks. My cd's aren't at hand, and extra folders didn't get copied to disk....

But you just called it a: And was your first response about FE or SE?
