@MiKl: "complains on start about uxtheme.dll" Details, please. KernelEx4.5.2 supports all uxtheme api's listed by schwups. If needed, however, we can move uxtheme.dll from the Windows\KernelEx folder to Windows\System, and add stubs to it. I've previously searched for a good uxtheme.dll replacement, and the current version from ReactOS looks very promising.

I sometimes run 10.63 on 98se and this sound familiar. I would retry running Opera after each of these steps: 1) Reboot. 2) Delete all Opera cache, temp, and log files (anything modified in the last day). 3) Restore the previous day's registry.

Opera 11.64 / 12.02 See the Opera - KernelEx Wiki for details.

Searching with Google for "Dlink Airpro DWL-A520 win9x" I see references to:

> Does it look like this? No. Just a thin-frame editbox directly under the page-section header. In FF2, Quick Reply looks something like this: [ Reply to this topic ] jumper's Photo......[ Post ] [ More Reply Options ] [ t ] [digg] [ / ] [ R ] [ sv ] [ M ] {#} / V \ [ 1 user(s) are reading this topic ] Opera 10.63 is the same, but with social buttons on one line. In full edit mode it is the same: no toolbars, no gear button. Also, previewing the post causes the source to get mangled and content lost. In Opera 10.63 today, toolbars do not appear in any reply mode. Also, previewing the post in full edit mode causes the editbox to disappear entirely. :angrym: PNG graphic sheets have been used by Google for years and work fine in FF2 (also in Netscape 4.7!). PNG files are not the problem, missing toolbars are. Edit: And when editing in-line, clicking "Save Change" does save the changes but doesn't reload the page or appear to respond in any way. Error console reports: CKEDITOR is not defined Source File: http://www.msfn.org/board/public/min/index.php?ipbv=84e6bd1b24bca89cbc1c926a47159e30&charset=iso-8859-1&f=public/js/ipb.js,cache/lang_cache/1/ipb.lang.js,public/js/ips.hovercard.js,public/js/ips.quickpm.js,public/js/ips.textEditor.bbcode.js,public/js/ips.sharelinks.js,public/js/ips.textEditor.js,public/js/ips.topic.js,public/js/ips.rating.js,public/js/ips.like.js Line: 1187 Edit 2: And in-line editing also mangles the post, in this case removing the empty "code" and surrounding "indent" tags. "Preview post" is now worthless, because what it displays is (too) often not what get posted! Edit 3: K-Meleon 1.6b2 to the rescue (if I can Save Changes successfully)--inline editing appears to be fully functional with two toolbars that pop up other dialogs as needed. Edit 4: The gear brings up an Options dialog: Editor Options x------------------------------------------------[ ] Paste as plain text by default[ ] Clear my saved content [ Ok ]

As I previously mentioned, in Firefox 2 the toolbars don't work anymore. The old board worked much better in FF2 in all respects. Like -X-, I don't see edit controls/tool buttons either--just a bare editbox. No Expand/Collapse Toolbar buttons or Resize thumb; no JS or CSS errors, either. In Opera 10.63 and K-Meleon 1.6b2, however, the two rows of toolbars do appear as expected if javascript is enabled. Same in QtWeb 3.7.5 after dismissing five scripting error warnings. Win98se with KernelEx 4.5.2 and Kexstubs. Ad/element blocking disabled.

Modes 11 and beyond do not work reliably. Delete an unused mode (such as Win2008) and renumber.

You might try running it through minf to check for section names that are too long.

K-Meleon 1.6.0 beta 2 requires KernelEx in W2K mode. I'm downloading beta 2.6 now and will report back.

@xper: I'm not seeing the Special BBCode align buttons to display the popup (nor any of the two ribbons for that matter), just the bare editbox in FF2. @Tripredacus: I'm seeing lots of text, but no image.

What is the exact text of the error message? Please quote it in full. We need to know the name(s) of the missing DLL(s).

> Any idea if there is a way to get it to work? Yes. What is the exact text of the error message?

Do the 11.x versions produce the same error on XP or later? Perhaps they call additional apis that KernelEx only stubs. Please check the K452stub.log and Kstub822.log files for clues.

In the Version History for SpeedTest, 1.0.3 lists: "Bug (Fixed) = Better support for Win98/95." OTOH, I'm not sure that SpeedTest even tests "LAN/network bandwidths/speeds." It is primarily an Internet bandwidth monitor and there are many online tools for that. If you wish to check the speed of your LAN, try mapping a network drive and measuring the speed of that drive. The System Monitor can be used to measure the performance of ram-disk-to-ram-disk file copies across the network as well as reads and writes by any app from/to the networked drive.

I have a WPC54Gv2 right here sitting on my desk! The datasheet in the Downloads tab at http://support.linksys.com/en-us/support/adapters/WPC54G says: "Compatible with Windows 98SE, Millennium, 2000 and XP." The driver package is 18MB. I also have a WMP54Gv4 that works in Win98SE. The WPC54GX datasheet at http://support.linksys.com/en-us/support/adapters/WPC54GX says: "Minimum Requirements ... Microsoft Windows 2000 or XP" and the driver is only 4.89MB. There are many versions of the WPC54G, however, so if one of them uses the same chip as the GX, that SE driver might be worth a try. WMP54GX: "Minimum Requirements...Microsoft Windows 2000 or XP" Summary: Wxx54G Wxx54GX

Relogon. But that will probably trigger the crash again. You need to identify and uninstall the offending startup process.

> I did that after trying to run the latest version of Aspell which requires this function and that msvcr71 doesn't provide. _ctype is a variable, not a function, so can't be stubbed / redirected. > On reboot I get an error message saying that mprexe caused an error in kernelex.dll and KernelEx doesn't load, no programs relying on it work. Perhaps something is dynamic-loading _ctype and trying to use type macros on the resulting function pointer instead of falling back to using the CRT functions. > I've now removed this entry from KxStub822.ini and am using msvcr70 as a replacement for msvcrt, Aspell runs fine and no other program I have which requires msvcrt/msvcr7x substitution appear broken. It now looks like msvcrt70 is the better choice for msvcrt substitution. Good work! I checked my system and found these versions of MSVCRT that export _ctype: MSVCRT20 2.11.000 MSVCRT40 4.22.0000 MSVCR ..... 6.10.8924.0 MSVCR ..... 6.10.9848.0 MSVCR70 .. 7.00.9981.0 And these versions that don't: MSVCR71 7.10.3052.4 MSVCR71 7.10.7031.4 MSVCR80 8.00.50727.762 MSVCR90 9.00.21022.8 MSVCR100 10.00.30319.1 MSVCR100 10.00.40219.1 > msvcr71 is version 8.0.21213.0 and msvcr70 is version 7.0.9981.0, they are the most recent I have and I didn't try with other versions so not sure if it would always happen. I haven't seen this version of msvcr71, but it must come bundled with msvcr80. Msvcr80 has a dependency on msvcrt for _getdrives, so perhaps that msvcrt is worth a look.

Yes, I'm very interested * How's the connectivity going? * What version of the WUSB54GC do you have? Is it one of the following from this HowTo? WUSB54GC v1 Device Name: Compact Wireless-G USB Adapter FCC ID: Q87-WUSB54GC Device ID: USB\VID_13B1&PID_0020 Chipset: RT2501U: RT2571WF MAC/BBP, RT2528L 2.4 GHz Transceiver Driver: Ralink-rt73 WUSB54GC v3 Device Name: Compact Wireless-G USB Network Adapter FCC ID: Q87-WUSB54GCV3 Device ID: USB\VID_1737&PID_0077 Chipset: Integrated RT2070L: RT3070 MAC/BBP, RT2020 2.4 GHz Transceiver Driver: Ralink-rt2870

Here's a link to some chipset details: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ensoniq_AudioPCI#EV1938 No mention of virtual audio devices, however. You may need to find WDM drivers rather than using VXD drivers.

Win98se does let you. My SIS embedded audio was just playing three wav files in three different apps a minute ago and I could here all three mixed together. I think it's up to the sound card drivers how many virtual audio devices are provided. The easiest fix is probably to install a better sound card, but you might be able to add a virtual device to extend your systems current audio capabilities. What sound card are you using?
