> It was my CPU. No, it wasn't. Flash 9.0.47 doesn't need SSE/PentiumIII to work correctly. Now that O9+F9 works, please update from SP6 to SP6a. If that breaks it again, then SP6a is somehow at fault. If it continues to work, then Virtual PC 2007 must have been at fault.

Please try "-v -a6000" ala post #5 or create a batch file to do the same.

Looks good. If you've rebooted, then the original Shell32.dll should be unlocked. You can now replace it and restore the original KnownDlls setting, or leave things as they are. I suggest leaving things as they are.

Try replacing googleupdate.exe with a folder of the same name.

VLC is hiding the actual error which could be almost anything. Try running VLC within a debugger such as FineSSE to see the raw Exception errors.

The sequence should be: - have disaster recovery plan ready - Rename the 2K Shell32 to Shell2k.dll - Add it to the system folder. - Edit KnownDLLs in registry to redirect: Shell32 -> Shell2k.dll (need to be admin to edit registry?) - reboot - If system reboots okay, Shell32.dll will no longer be in use and can be renamed >How do I use NT permissions in NT 4.0? I really don't know. I think you need to be logged in as an administrator.

"CORE.INI [ApiConfigurations] default=2" doesn't disable KernelEx, but sets the default to Win98+enhancements. Set this registry value to disable KernelEx by default on apps not explicitly set to another mode: Kex+.reg------------REGEDIT4[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\KernelEx]"DisableExtensions"=dword:00000001And to enable: Kex-.reg------------REGEDIT4[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\KernelEx]"DisableExtensions"=dword:00000000

In the "Details..."->"Add..." editbox, try: http://ad.doubleclick.net/* or http://*.doubleclick.net/* Or in your HOSTS file add the line: "0 ad.doubleclick.net"

> I gave it a go on Win 98Se with KernelEx and the result is build failure. KernelEx told it you were running it on Windows 2000. Do one of these: 1) uninstall KernelEx or 2) In %windir%\KernelEx\CORE.INI, set [ApiConfigurations] default=2 then reboot and try again.

Google "portable projector mp4" e.g. £147.99 for the "Philips PicoPix Pocket Projector with MP4 Playback" + "Large image projection: up to 80" in size" + should be bright enough at 32-40" Or use a surplus Overhead Projector (no bulb needed) with a phone/tablet/laptop lying on the transparency surface. Google "overhead projector" (then add "diy") If you have (or can get) a full-page Fresnel lens, try this: The DIY $5 Laptop, Tablet, or Smartphone Home Theater Projector

I've been using ImportPatcher.38 for a long time now, so it's about time I post it! The key new feature is that Delay-load processing is now optional and defaults to OFF. For Kexstubs users, this is great for finding the minimal set of missing APIs that need to be added to stubs.ini (or Kstub822.ini). New in ImportPatcher.38: March 29, 2013Delay-load processing made optionalAdded file and data alignment checkingOrdinal import fields reversed in log (to match strings)ImportPatcher.39 is a first attempt at moving towards a dialog interface. The initial MessageBox is replaced by a dialog box and the settings section of the #.ini file has been removed. (In fact, if there are no missing dependencies, the #.ini file will be empty!) The log file output remains the same. New in ImportPatcher.39: July 6, 2013Expanded first MessageBox into fuller DialogBoxAdded export forward patching

In the <GUIConfigs> section of config.xml are: AppPosition "x""y"RememberLastSessionContents either yes or n.

If you don't have a mobile phone and your land line number is not unlisted, I see no reason not to use the land line number. A land line number won't help you regain access to a lost Google account, but then neither will not providing any number. It will get rid of the nags and can be updated if you do get a mobile phone someday. Also, a "Recovery" and/or"Alternate" email address can be set up to (regain) access (to) your account. Since Google is my ISP, I was getting nagged several times a week last year and almost broke down and used my land line number. But then sometime last Fall the nags mysteriously ceased; I don't know why. Maybe when iGoogle went away?

> instead of shell32.vlc, I could type shfolder.dll and that may work. Good idea. But "shfolder.dll" is one character too long so make a local copy and name it shfolder.00 or shfoldr.dll BTW, I think this version of VLC requires SSE. FineSSE might work if you only have a PII. (FineSSE should work on NT, but hasn't been tested yet.)

If you mean the Booting in Safe Mode warning, that is best diabled in MSDOS.SYS with: [Options]BootWarn=0

The manual, D945PWM_TechProdSpec.pdf, mentions a few things about the BIOS setup: Try disabling these (in the Advanced submenu?): - PCI Autoconfiguration - System Management BIOS (SMBIOS) - any unused on-board features There are also 12 BIOS versions available at the Intel D945PWM download site:Latest is "108".

Windows 9x and NT have different printing engines; this is basically why FF3 can't print in the first place. What we need is a version of Fireshot (and sss.dll) that is designed for 9x. Fireshot 0.76 is actually the first available version that doesn't support Win9x. The version to use is Fireshot 0.69. "Disable KernelEx extentions" on sss.dll so that it prints in 9x mode. Kstub822 and K452stub are not needed for these versions of Fireshot!

Have you tried disabling ACPI in BIOS? Disabling Plus-and-Play in BIOS? Selecting AGP/PCI video in BIOS? (un)reserving a VGA IRQ in BIOS? Reserving Resources in Computer Properties? Adjusting the PCI Bus IRQ Steering?

> ...I saved the file and launched VLC. So far, so good. > And when I opened Dependency walker to check, it says Shell32.VLC, but shows the error icon next to the file name. 1) Confirm that you have SHFolder.dll in your system directory. 2) Make sure that you renamed Shell32vlc.dll to Shell32.VLC and put it in your app folder. 3) In the DW Options menu, Configure the Module Search Order so that "The application directory" is moved up to the top of the search order. We may have a problem with API forwarding on NT (and also 9x). What version of VLC are you working with? I need to study the exact files you are working with.

> there is a large box above the small "Yes" box, containing the words "Test page in iFrame" in a large mono-spaced font. I do see this iframe in FF2.0.0.20. It seems something about your home system is causing the problem for 20 and 23pre. Try disabling KernelEx on them. And for Youtube, disable KernelEx on pre-10 versions of flash (I use 9r47 despite some missing movie player controls). Edit: I was able to make the iframe disappear by setting "browser.frames.enabled" to False and restarting Firefox. Update: It's not necessary to restart Firefox when changing the iframe setting, but a new instance of the page must be loaded in a new tab or window. Refresh and Ctrl-refresh are not enough. I was able to load the iframe test page in one tab, toggle the iframe setting, and load the page again in another tab with the result that the iframe was displayed in one tab but not the other!

> MinPagingFileSize=122880 > MaxPagingFileSize=122880 I'm using a 120MB fixed-size swap file. (Only 160MB available on that flash drive--the rest is already in use!) I plan to try min=256MB / max=1GB when I can (think 256/256+emergency head-room). I've used a small, expandable swapfile on my Ramdsk98 drive (R:) before with very good results. Only issue was the "file was in-use" warning at shutdown. Now I just use R: (~16MB) for intermediate files when compiling projects and as a quick scratch location for downloading/extracting/analysing files, etc. Again, this system has 248MB of main memory.
