Why are you posting in the Windows 9x/ME section? Thanks, LoneCrusader.

If not Firefox 2.0.0.20 running on stock Windows 95, please provide version and operating environment details.

> I do not think that USP10 was set disabled with 4.5.2 from what I remember. Check settings.reg. Regarding GDI32.GetCharABCWidthsI, the Kernel4.5.2 source code states in UberGDI.c: //NOTE: usp10 is probing for that function, don't forget to exclude it GDI32.GetCharABCWidthsI is disabled in Core.ini for Base, but reenabled for Win2000. So Usp10 must be set to Base or disabled. If set to default, it will inherit from the app that loads it resulting in incorrect behavour for Win2000+. > LH5048 USP10 had to be set disabled were as LH4093 and MS Office XP 1.420.2600.5969 did not need be disabled. LongHorn or other upgraded versions might probe for other functions, so Disabled is the safest mode for USP10. Thanks for testing these other versions and reporting what modes to use for each of them.

EAX is 0, so 099515ee (first stack value) may be the return address following a "call eax" instruction. Use Procwin to disassemble the instructions just prior to 099515ee. Look for a GetProcAddress() call. Notice that the last line in ApiLog2K.txt is "1 ffe77dd5 [ADVSPLASH.DLL]099515c1:GetModuleHandleW = bfc00000" 2. Profile it in DW. Any GetProcAddress() failures should be highlighted. I was able to reproduce the original problem in KMPlayer_EN_3.0.0.1442.exe. The definition for SetLayeredWindowAttributes changed in Kex..11 so this regression must be that old. This issue is arguably a design flaw in the KMPlayer installer: Instead of testing for the functionality it wants, it tests for the platform and then assumes what functionality is available. @Dave-H, repeated sections are ignored (or maybe just repeated section+names ???). Try changing descriptions; one place will work, the other won't. Leaving repeated sections in place now risks problems later. @Goodmaneuver, I don't understand: > causing problems with CometBird what are the symptoms? > which relies on USP10.dll for text why do you mention this? > I use USP10 KEX disabled. Good. That is how 4.5.2 sets it because it is required! Any other setting would be an invalid installation.

Oops, missed a few Aliases! Try appending the following to CORE.INI: --- Aliases to support legacy (old) registry settings --- [DCFG1] inherit=BASE contents=std,kexbasen,kexbases desc=Alias for Base enhancements [WIN98] inherit=WIN98SE desc=Alias for Windows 98 SE [NT2K] inherit=WIN2000D desc=Alias for Windows 2000 SP4 [NOHEAP] inherit=WIN2Kstd desc=Alias for Windows 2000 SP4 (standard heap) [WINXP] inherit=WINXP2 desc=Alias for Windows XP SP2 Also (optionally) delete the DCFG1, WIN98, and WINXP sections from higher up . Thanks!!!

Sounds like it hangs autodetecting one of the internal devices. If you can't boot in safe mode, try a logged or stepped boot. Otherwise you'll have to try all the regular installation problem suggestions.

@Dave-H > 4.5.2016.20 just contains an updated kexbases.dll for instance. Incorrect Not quite. It also includes the Core.ini update that unlocks all new Kexbases.dll improvements. Both should be installed together. @Goodmaneuver KexBeta18.7z was nearly cumulative, but .19 and .20 are just "delta" (changes to .18) updates. > Having install trouble with KEX20 on anything above NT6a on an install that only requires KEX enabled before. KMPlayer any vs 3+ installed on any setting before except disabled. Is this an expected outcome? No, please debug it. TIA.

...and KG74 (KM74+Goanna 2.2), and builds of FF3.6 and Retrozilla (FF2)

Try adding to the source code: BOOL QueryThreadCycleTime( HANDLE ThreadHandle, PULONG64 CycleTime ) { SetLastError (120); return FALSE; } or #define QueryThreadCycleTime(th,ct) (SetLastError (120), FALSE) Otherwise try returning thread elapsed time converted back into tsc units (multiply by ~2000000 if ms->GHz?). What were the missing dependencies of Chrome.exe on Shell32.dll and Chrome_elf.dll on KernelXP.dll and Dbghelp.dll (if not listed above)?

> Though when installing the 4.5.2016.18 package on WinMe(Fresh install fully updated) <sigh>...Please correct your error or refrain from using these Updates. This is currently a project, not a product. Users who either cannot follow instructions or cannot make accurate reports do not qualify as testers and should wait for a product release.

Slimboat is covered elsewhere. Ask with more details in the "Backporting" or "Really" thread if Google site:msfn.org doesn't answer it.

Verify.exe needs KernelEx to be enabled on it with any mode other than the new "Minimal".

Kexbases.map is just a text file the linker outputs that can be used for debugging. It has no effect on the execution and isn't even required. The new Core.ini sets the default mode to Base. If you previously had it set to something higher, that might explain why the ReactOS (or other) files seem faster.

If SpeedDial is implemented as a local page, we should be able to modify its style sheet. In Opera 10.63, gstreamer required KernelEx when the rest of the browser didn't. In 12.18 it might also need more help from KernelEx than the rest of the browser. I'll take a look. It might also be possible to downgrade gstreamer to 11.x or 10.63 for smoother playback.

No speed-ups intended--same code and build options. Just some new Version data and functions that can be accessed via new Core.ini modes. Perhaps SM is now running in a different mode?

Maybe later this week. Will be testing on SE+IE5.

Are KB971512 and KB2117917 two of those four, or in addition to the four?

> The *\mfc*u*.dll in KEX registry stopped working for me with K19. I use the full paths now. I have no idea why. Please provide details on how you came to this conclusion. I have already added support for eight new OS versions to Kexbases.dll: + Windows Vista sp2 (6,0,0x1772) + Windows 7 sp1 (6,1,0x1DB1) + Windows 8 (6,2,0x23F0) + Windows 8.1 (6,3,0x2580) + Windows 10 (10,0,0x3AD7) + Windows 10 (10,0,0x42EE) + Windows 98 (fe) (4,10,0x040A07CE) + Windows XP sp3 (5,1,0x0A28) They are added after the existing functions for compatibility with existing CORE.ini modes. Please request now any other Windows versions you would like added.
