I just now looked at the Realtek ALC880 Series Datasheet and it is backwards compatible with AC'97. WDM_A404.exe is the AC'97 driver. wdm_r124.exe is the HDA driver. A real ALC880 should support both. If the nForce 430 (or 410) with HDA sound is only based on the Realtek ALC880 design, it might not be backwards compatible with AC'97. If it is paired with a real ALC880, the AC'97 might be disabled in some way. Is there a square, 48-pin (4x12) Realtek ALC880 chip on the MSI K8NGM-V Motherboard?

I think you have an nForce 430 (or 410) with HDA sound that is maybe based on the Realtek ALC880 design. You probably need an NForce 430 or generic HDA audio driver.

Some apps probe for functions and then make assumptions based on the results. When emulating Win95, the correct behavior for KernelEx is to disable IsProcessorFeaturePresent. If you would like to create an experimental mode for Core.ini named Win95++ that enables it and possibly other APIs as well, please do so. There are many examples already in the current Core.ini. Feel free to post it and discuss it here in this thread. Others are also encouraged to share their experimental modes as well as discuss the structure of Core.ini in general.

And no one said it was (certainly not SnooPY who stated the converse).

Just guessing: < must be entered as &lt;, so it's easier to type Ctrl+C than <Ctrl> C

I downloaded it, but the readme didn't look promising. WMP10 and 11 and a special USB controller are required for testing. Someone would have to get the SDK working on XP (or later) and then see if a custom client can be created for 9x/ME.

You jumped the gun by about 15 minutes! :lol:

The PSAPX method was only needed for a short time. An updated Psapi.dll for KernelEx was released almost five years ago.

Please debug what is going wrong with Vuze and JRE in W2k mode. Unless an app was written for NT4, if it calls IsProcessorFeaturePresent it should work on W2K. (There is no point to calling it on 9x/ME as they always return FALSE, and 95 doesn't even have it.) >> It continues to be deactivated in Core.ini for non-NT modes. I must have been looking at previous unreleased versions when I wrote that. I was adding and making lots of OS-related changes at the time. > It was not deactivated in Core.ini for non-NT modes so I have removed them in Core.ini20i. Good. The correct solution is to move "KERNEL32.IsProcessorFeaturePresent=none" to [WIN95.names] and remove all other references. For everyone who reported problems with IsProcessorFeaturePresent back in July, thank you for reports and your patience. I will adjust the *.24 package and release it very soon.

> I don't hate everything about Google; I still use their search engine (albeit via Startpage.com). Startpage.com gives me a "No cypher overlap" error. Google.com doesn't, but requires a FF2 UA to be usable! > They say reCaptchas also let you pass without any probs in other browsers if you're logged into a Google account... This summer Google invalidated old login cookies and updated their login JS, so it is no longer possible to login on FF2. So while I still use SM2.0.14 90% of the time, I continue working on making Roy's browsers more usable on 9x/ME via KernelEx (KG74 is currently the only way I can upload MSFN.org attachments from home!).

Try an older version of libgio-2.0-0.dll. File version: 2.28.8.0 7/19/11 8:00 AM is XP-compatible.

It can't be done directly anymore. This was discussed in detail several years ago. External storage is as easy as replugging the card into a compatible card reader. Otherwise, if the phone appears as a sharable drive on a modern system, you might be able to access it remotely. Another option is to backup the phone to the cloud and access the files directly (or indirectly) from there. Your phone might also be able to email you individual files of interest. Can Linux access modern smartphones? If so, there is a slim chance the source code could be adapted to Win9x.

According to information at VideoHelp.com, it appears that starting with PotPlayerSetup-1.7.19955-ads.exe the installer is Ad-Supported.

Oleaut32 45.32 is Win2000 and 4532.3 is bwc24d. This first is actually older than 4520 for 9x; 4532.3 adds new functions to 4532. Search Google for "Oleaut32 2.40.4532" and you will find two MSFN.org threads from nine and five years ago that discuss which version is the best for 9x/ME. For systems without KernelEx, the answer is 2.40.4520 and it is the version used in all the latest service packs. That should be the version in Windows\System. Optionally, later versions of Oleaut32.dll can go into Windows\KernelEx and be activated via [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\KernelEx\KnownDLLs], but only if they include the APIs: #442 RegisterTypeLibForUser, and #443 UnRegisterTypeLibForUser. (KernelEx already supports these functions, so this option is pointless at this time!) > from http://el1.cz/infos/Native.htm "EliCZ, Aug-15-1999" Obsolete information about NT4. NTAPI is the NT driver API. KernelEx does not support drivers or NTOSKRNL. > CloseHandle returns 0 if fails as well Correct. That is why it is called by NtClose instead of just being forwarded to. > The DriversDocumentation document I quoted is still relevant & correct for Ntdll.NtClose. Incorrect. Read the Requirements section: the document is for NTOSKRNL.NtClose, not NTDLL.NtClose! > I have JRE7 working but Vuze only starts up with BASES, BASESN, or NT40 or above settings. The text is not displaying... As described, this isn't a regression. When you figure out what changes need to be made to KernelEx to better support this JRE7/Vuze combination, let me know. > Depends does not profile correctly. Right. Depends works in undocumented, mysterious ways and often doesn't work as desired with KernelEx apps.

Lots of ideas from searching: Traceback "ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found."

Does this help? "It seems I've been able to fix it by adding permissions in the dcom service directly."

But when disabled did the messages (or anything else) change?

> I get mixed results with Depends profiling programs Depends.exe should be set (before launch) to the same mode as the KernelEx app being profiled. > So it looks like KEX settings are determining differing outcomes. Yes, that is the whole point of having settings!

> Infared is not a "port", per se. Infared is (an adapter connected to) a serial port. In the system BIOS, make sure the IR serial port is enabled. If it already is, disabled it to see how the system reacts.

> Dillo was ported to Windows once, now defunct. Three times that I know of, so still not clear. Do you mean: 1) The real Windows port "dillo3.exe" ("This version of Dillo was built on Nov 28 2011 using GCC 3.4.5 (mingw-vista special r3).")? 2) the Dillo fork "dillo-win32-3.0p9.exe" (December 5, 2009, ten years old!) 3) D+ Browser / Dplus (version 0.5b, October 15, 2013)

Does Win98 need to exit to DOS or can PupWin98 run in a DOS VM console (with WIn98 still active)?

> So I click the download link, and the File/Save Box loads. Is the desktop the default directory listed? If so, try changing the default to a non-standard user folder to avoid triggering the Desktop Undo Manager or disturbing networked links. Recreate the delay while a process viewer that shows cpu usage is visible. Does the Firefox activity go up or down during the delay? (Is FF busy or waiting for the system.)
