Perhaps off-screen compositing is using a YUV color space or other compressed bitmap to reduce memory consumption.

IE 5.01 or 5.5 For 98fe or 98se?

Slipstream the driver into the OS install. Sleep requests can be blocked by any driver, program, or process. It might be possible to kill vga.sys programmatically once the new driver takes control.

The restart is needed to deactivate the default driver. This can be prevented by installing the drivers for the new hardware before attaching it.

The combination of things you want might not be possible. So install IE5.5, test, then try "removing" it and testing again.

Don't extract, install! You need other supporting files as well.

Dr Watson for system snapshots with versions and descriptions of drivers. System File Checker for detecting file changes. Both available from the Tools menu in System Information, or directly from %WinDir%. Revert system to last working. Take snapshot with DrWatson and have SFC scan and update. Try installing USP2.1, then USP3.0beta. Take new snapshots and have SFC report changes.

The logs look correct. I'll check out the garbled text.

Very good. Then these should also work: CryptEnumProvidersW=>CRYPT32:CryptEnumProvidersU CryptSetProviderW=>CRYPT32:CryptSetProviderU CryptSignHashW=>CRYPT32:CryptSignHashU CryptVerifySignatureW=>CRYPT32:CryptVerifySignatureU

Try the "Desktop... -Position" page. (Down two in left-side menu.)

I'm also on Win98fe. IE is 4.0. Shlwapi.dll is part of IE. Win98se has IE 5.0, ME has 5.5. Best way to update Shlwapi is to update IE to 5.5. (IE 6.0 sometimes causes Explorer hangs.)

Is W2k detecting it via P-n--p and correctly reporting the make and model? If not, you might need a create a custom driver for it.

Analog cable? Use the auto-resize button on the monitor. Check the advanced display properties for H and V synch options.as well as size.

A stub for GetGlyphIndices{A|W} should take five parameters and return GDI_ERROR. A small, full version that calls Usp10:ScriptGetCMap is in KernelEx:UberGDI.c.

Image link is dead already.

In Display Properties>Settings>Advanced>Performance, try reducing the Graphics Hardware Acceleration level to correct problems with the mouse pointer. Also try different color depths and resolutions.

Excellent read. Kernelex 4.5.2 only fixed the delay; the sqlite3 write problem still exists. LockFile in 9x works differently than in NT, so can't be used directly to implement LockFileEx and also needs to be fixed itself. Sqlite3 uses file locking to maintain database integrity on multithreaded, multi-core systems. Because 9x doesn't support multiple cpus/cores/hyperthreads, the simplest solution might be to replace the *LockFileEx failure stubs MS provided in Kernel32.dll with success stubs: LockFileEx = o6 UnLockFileEx = o5 Also for NT modes: LockFile = o5 UnLockFile = o5 These will work as NT expects with FileMapping while faking all flags and overlapped I/O. Create a new compatibility mode in Core.ini by cloning XP3 or Vista. Use these stub definitions in a new copy of Kexstubs and add it to Contents. Use this new test mode for mozsqlite3.dll or sqlite3.dll in Firefox going back to 3.6.

Can someone with this working try clearing their logs, then refreshing a webpage or adding it to Bookmarks? The new log entries might reveal what API sqlite is having trouble with when trying to update its database files.

RaiseException=v4 RaiseException=>GetFileTime This is a debugging api so there might be others--use mode Windows XP Debug. I've added two RaiseException wrappers to Kexbases.26. The debug version currently displays the parameter values before passing on the call. The default version will ignore the call if it is "continuable", or call the debug version if not.

Use my new Uxtheme. It is faster and lighter than all others. Now that it is complete, there should be no reason to use any other.

uxtheme423.7z Now includes all 124 known functions from Microsoft, Wine, and ReactOS. With source code and Developer Studio 97 Project file.

Ex functions almost always add another parameter, so dropping the Ex very rarely works. When selecting a replacement, the number of parameters must match (look for the first return instruction after the function entry address). The return value should also indicate an error.

Should read "WDDM is..." (WDM is an unrelated driver model, not a display model at all.)

KMDOD is a WDDM sample for Vista and later, not XP.
