When installing 98SE2ME on Spanish SE, try sourcing the ME files from a Spanish version of ME.

> the point is: Wine doesn't run on XP +1 Agreed. Wine runs on Linux which can be run in a virtual machine on XP; ReactOS in a VM would be more direct. Also: Wine plus XP in a VM, both on Linux; or XP in a VM on ReactOS Linux+Wine or ReactOS (or Vista+) on a separate physical machine can then be remotely accessed from the XP machine. Linux+Wine or ReactOS (or Vista+) on a separate physical machine can then be accessed with a KVM (keyboard+video+mouse) switch. And: Dual-booting to run non-XP software when only one physical machine is available is always a popular option.

Open the exe in DW and use the Profile menu. This will provide run-time diagnostics about what is going right and what is going wrong. Remember to try the various OS compatibility modes offered by Vista. There is lots of discussion about app-porting tools and techniques in the Win2000 and Win9x board forums here on MSFN.org.

@siria: Each of your URLs have a bad HREF value in the link tag surrounding it. +1 for you once fixed! :) Edit: The https://o.rthost.cf/ links on the page at http://rtfreesoft.blogspot.com/2018/06/other-browser-binaries.html don't work for me; the http://o.rths.cf/ links on the page at http://o.rths.cf/gpc/files1.rt/home.html do work.

But github isn't accessible from Retrozilla or any browser it replaces!

SM 1.1 is like FF 2.0, so RT's build of Retrozilla would be better.

Accessing a drive is causing an update to both something on the drive and something on your desktop. Things to consider: * Active Desktop * shortcuts to drives on desktop * viewmode of drives' root folders * custom folder settings * desktop color depth * shelliconcache settings * Advanced Graphics hardware acceleration setting * Config.sys accdate settings

ARDC 11.0.23 dropped support for IE versions 8,9 and 10. So even if we could somehow get it running on XP, without IE11 it still wouldn't be full-featured. (note: 10.1.12 also dropped support for XP)

@schwups: KERNEL32.CheckRemoteDebuggerPresent didn't exist before XP. VLC should be running in XP mode to use it. Why are you using k452stub and in which *stub.ini file do you have [KERNEL32] CheckRemoteDebuggerPresent defined?

@Goodmaneuver: > can function redirection use wild cards in KlEx eg CM_*=CFGMGR32.dll Not yet and not soon. It is planned, however. > if not then these functions I would like to add to the setupapi list ... I can do this, but do you really need them? If you are just experimenting, use Kexstubs to implement them yourself. > Can we redirect wmi* functions when called for in advapi.dll be redirected to wmi.dll? Yes, I found 23 functions that match. But WMI is not standard on 98/SE. SE needs an installer and 98 also needs IE5+. 98/SE/ME all need additional updates as well. So, no, I will not be doing this. You can use Kexstubs if you want to experiment. > Can _except_handler4_common calls to msvcrt be redirected to msvcr80? Msvcr80 is not standard. Use Kexstubs.

> Leawo Blu-ray player ... net.framework ... Maxthon 3 Test them with ImportPatcher and report what is missing. After looking back at old notes from loblo and others, I found 20 other CM_* requests. The supported list will now be: [SETUPAPI.DLL] CM_Connect_MachineA CM_Get_Child CM_Get_Child_Ex CM_Get_DevNode_Registry_PropertyW CM_Get_DevNode_Registry_Property_ExA CM_Get_DevNode_Registry_Property_ExW CM_Get_DevNode_Status CM_Get_DevNode_Status_Ex CM_Get_Device_IDA CM_Get_Device_IDW CM_Get_Device_ID_ExA CM_Get_Device_ID_ExW CM_Get_Device_ID_ListW CM_Get_Device_ID_List_SizeW CM_Get_Parent CM_Get_Parent_Ex CM_Get_Sibling CM_Get_Sibling_Ex CM_Locate_DevNodeA CM_Locate_DevNodeW CM_Open_Class_KeyA CM_Set_DevNode_Problem_Ex CM_Setup_DevNode_Ex

@Goodmaneuver: I haven't seen an app that calls both the traditional and CM functions from setupapi.dll, so making a local copy of cfgmgr32.dll renamed to setupapi.dll usually works. You can also forward them individually with Kexstubs.dll. That said, K.18 aleady forwards CM_Get_Device_IDW. K.19 will also forward CM_Get_Device_IDA and CM_Get_Parent. Do you need any others? @deomsh: Noted. Let me know when you have more details. @schwups: Try adding this to Core.ini: [WINXP.names] KERNEL32.CheckRemoteDebuggerPresent=kexstubs.0

Windows 95/98/ME - how to change System Code Page Windows ME custom installation should have the same option to set the System Code Page. This is the only safe way to solve the problem. Direct link from above to Microsoft page: "Instruction for Windows ME"

> Still, you can just redirect it to the normal InterlockedCompareExchange which is supported on XP On the x64 version maybe, but on the x32 version the total size of the parameters don't match: only 12 bytes vs 20 for InterlockedCompareExchange64. (On x64 it should be 24 vs 24.)

Because the folders can't be accessed, I don't think it's (only) a font issue. Path length maybe? What does Scandisk have to say about each of the drives? How about the Explorer Property sheet? If you can access the usb disk on another system, try renaming one of the Greek folders to English.

For those good with a hex editor: HRESULT SHCreateItemFromParsingName (4 params) HRESULT SHBindToParent (4 params) HRESULT SHCreateFileExtractIconW (4 params) HRESULT SHCreateShellItem (4 params) HRESULT SHOpenFolderAndSelectItems (4 params) HRESULT SHPathPrepareForWriteA (4 params) HRESULT SHPathPrepareForWriteW (4 params)

> I cannot access folders with Greek names, they aren`t recognized by the system (their names are only dashes and can`t be accessed). Are these remote folders located on a non-FAT filesystem? With what apps are you trying to access them? Scandisk will probably be able to tell you what (WinME thinks) is wrong with them.

Control Panel -> Regional Settings doesn't affect fonts. Try Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs -> Windows Setup -> Multilanguage Support -> Details -> Greek Welcome to MSFN.org!

Check your IRQ Steering in Device Manager->System devices->PCI bus->Properties. First option is usually ACPI BIOS, but can be changed. Some other system devices also reference ACPI BIOS. CPUZ and others often read the ACPI BIOS. That can usually also be changed. If BIOS has "Plug and play OS" enabled, that can be disabled after installation--sometimes device resource setting become more flexible.

@Goodmaneuver - Thanks for the heads-up on Radmin32.dll. I've investigated dsclient9x.msi before but was focused on other dll's in the package. + Dnsapi.dll -- has DnsQuery_A, DnsQuery_W, DnsRecordListFree (or can be used whole) + Cryptdll.dll -- has MD5Final, MD5Init, MD5Update + Secur32.dll -- has DecryptMessage, EncryptMessage, FreeContextBuffer * Radmin32.dll -- Kex overlaps: 68 Advapi32, 65 Ntdll, 37 Netapi32, 2 Winspool, 1 Kernel32 . . . Some are already implemented, but many are stubs. Win9x Advapi32 and other system dll's also have many stubs, so many more might be useful. Redistribution needs to be investigated. The whole package only needs to be installed for file sharing with XP+ systems. As for DelayLoadFailureHook, Tihiy already has it forwarding to Shlwapi in an odd way. Unfortunately it's not in the versions that ship with 98se and ME! @schwups - What is the runtime error and why did you choose to mention CheckRemoteDebuggerPresent, LeaveCriticalSection, and SetCriticalSectionSpinCount?

Maybe disable DPI scaling system-wide: Right-click desktop -> Personalize -> Adjust Font Size (DPI). Google "Vista DPI scaling" for more.

Is your TL-WN722N a V1, V2, or V3? Your inf is "DriverVer = 11/16/2017,1030.24.0601.2017" -- Did this file come with the hardware or did you download it? Perhaps the V1 driver works with Win2000 SP4 but the V3 driver needed by your hardware does not.

Once the first frame plays, try pausing and single-stepping or seeking. Do more frames display? Try disabling audio and playing at half-speed or even backwards.

The set of resolutions that shows up is the intersection of the set supported by the display adapter and the set supported by the monitor. If the display driver thinks the monitor can't really do the requested mode or can't actually do the mode itself because of the connection type (VGA/DVI/HDMI) or bitdepth, virtual mode results. If selecting "Automatically detect plug & play monitors" isn't working for you, then you must deselect it and install a proper monitor driver. Then you will have to uninstall the display driver (possibly in safe mode) and then reboot. (You may also need to reinstall Windows; see below.) Make sure the proper monitor driver is (still) installed before reinstalling the display drivers. This problem was already discussed and solved on this forum six years ago: "I just reinstalled windows and installed the monitor driver first. So I can't say exactly what solved the issue, but I think it's the driver installation order."

@filth - Please set IDA to Win2000 mode or higher. GDI32.DLL:GetCharABCWidthsI is no longer enabled in BASE mode. Testers, remember to check CORE.INI and KTree when a regression appears. @Dibya - Install 98se, then: 1) install Kernelex 4.5.2 choosing Disable by default 2) copy KernelEx folder to K45_2016. (DOS 8.3 name) 3) extract Core Update 4.5.2016. files to K45_2016. folder 4) exit to DOS 5) rename KernelEx folder to K45_0002 6) rename K45_2016. folder to KernelEx 7) reboot
