If the BIOS has an "Enable L1 cache" option, unchecking it will usually cripple performance!

>I did set a static IP address, but it didn't seem to improve the boot time much. Disable the network adapter in Device Manager. That should speed the network boot delay and you can reenable it on-the-fly in Device Manager when you need it. >What exactly is Windows doing when it "enumerates" devices? Synchronously loading each device driver one at a time, waiting for each to complete before loading the next. >booting in Safe Mode is slightly shorter Not everything is loaded. Safe Mode without networking should be even faster.

The internal CDDA filter (v6.4.0.2) in MPC6.4.9.1 is "2K/XP only" (tip text). Disable it in View>Options>Internal Filters when trying external filters.

Just put a copy of GdiPlus.dll in the Windows System folder. I use version 5.2.3790.136.

If you use DHCP to assign a dynamic IP address, your router must be up and running before Tcpip loads or you get a long delay. Assign a static address or disable the adapter if the network is not always available at boot.

Create a boot log and check it with BootLogAnalyzer bla.exe. Networking is a likely suspect.

Another idea: C:\>attrib/s R:\test.cmd | find/i "\oem\runonc~1\test.cmd" A HR TEST.CMD R:\OEM\RUNONC~1\test.cmd A TEST.CMD R:\Z\OEM\RUNONC~1\test.cmd

Redirect WindowsCodecs.dll to LZ32.dll REGEDIT4[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\KnownDLLs]"WindowsCodecs"="LZ32.DLL"then use Kexstubs to create definitions for any functions reported missing by Dependency Walker or ImportPatcher.[Lz32.dll] --- including API's in modules that use KnownDLLs to forward to LZ32 ---;WindowsCodecs.dllWICConvertBitmapSource=--- OR ---Use ImportPatcher to replace "WINDOWSCODECS.DLL" with "IPstub.dll" and missing functions with "yn" (or something better).

In the lab with 600 new stubs.ini definitions and dlls from IE7&8 and ReactOS plus several unreleased custom dlls, Yes if you don't mind alpha-caliber stability.

On second look, it's almost pure HTML5--lots of <svg>, <canvas>, <filter>, and <animate> tags and ECMAscript. There is conditional html for IE 8, so try setting your user agent to IE 8 (or to IE 9). I finally got it working in KM74_31, but the fine print is impossible to read on my 1024x768 monitor--needs a larger physical screen size!

Appears to need javascript and webkit (Chrome or Safari?). QTweb 3.75 doesn't work. Pops up an alert box in IE5 saying 'Old IE detected... please upgrade' or something to that extent.... best option I could find was to view source and peek at the text graphics in the script comments (worth the peek!).

ImportPatcher is built using VC5 so should run on Win95+ and NT4+, maybe even win32s and NT3.5. It will check (and can correct) the OS subversion (target platform) of any PE32 file. IP37 and IP38 will auto-target to the current (reported) OS version. Polish Jack1024's PEInfo.exe 0.9.1.1 (d7p) is also very good for editing PE32 header values.

Could be a problem with the driver itself which, despite the 9x entries in the inf, was clearly never successfully tested on Win9x by Realtek themselves. In the 2014 inf, the 8106E uses the same install as the 8105E in which the only addition over the 8104E is something called EEE which can be enabled/disabled. So lets try creating an 8106E entry in the 2008 inf by cloning the 8104E section: To the 2008 inf file below [Realtek];8104E%RTL8104.DeviceDesc% = RTL8104.ndi, PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8137&REV_03%RTL8104.DeviceDesc% = RTL8104.ndi, PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8137&SUBSYS_813710EC&REV_03add;8106E%RTL8106.DeviceDesc% = RTL8104.ndi, PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8136&REV_07%RTL8106.DeviceDesc% = RTL8104.ndi, PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8136&SUBSYS_813610EC&REV_07And below[Strings]RTL8104.DeviceDesc = "Realtek RTL8104E Family PCI-E Fast Ethernet NIC"addRTL8106.DeviceDesc = "Realtek RTL8106E Family PCI-E Fast Ethernet NIC"You can also try using RTL8102.ndi as that is DEV_8136&REV_02 compared to the 8106E's DEV_8136&REV_07

>The file version is 6.0.2600 but if you extract the package you'll see it contains the W95INF16.DLL AND W95INF32.DLL. >http://sdfox7.com/win95/rootsupd.htm That version of W95INF16.DLL is byte-identical to the 98se version. That version of W95INF32.DLL is file timestamp 9/5/2008, link timestamp 6/6/2000, file version 4.71.0016.0. The version on my 98se system is file timestamp 7/17/1999, link timestamp 9/17/1996, but file version 4.71.17.0.

Posting with K-Meleon74_31: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/31.0 K-Meleon/74.0 All these new K-Meleon versions (1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 74) now run on my customized Win98se+KernelEx+Kexstubs system, but very slowly. I'll post details in the MSFN 9x sub-forum and on the K-Meleon forum.

I hand-optimized both the v2008 and v2014 infs and got them both down to versions that are extremely similiar. Following is my 9x-only version of the v2014 driver inf: edit: Oops, posted my v2008 inf which is extremely similiar; now it's the v2014 mod with the 8106E entry. :blush:

The XP .inf file is about 16x too big for 9x to recognize. Try deleting everything that is clearly not needed, then run it through minf to reduce the size to below 64KB and see if 9x will recognize it then. I'll compare the two files and report back later with my findings. These are all-in-one driver packages, however, so there probably isn't an actual 8106E driver file in the 9x package and the one in the NT package probably won't work in 9x.

Thanks for the links, I'll give it a try and report back. BTW, I do have KM74 running in 98se but there are some glitches and it needs more testing.

Change your monitor type from "generic Plug 'n Play" to "W2043" by updating the driver via "Device Manager->Monitors->generic Plug 'n Play->Driver->Update Driver" or "Display Properties->Settings->Advanced->Monitor->Change". Then you should be able to power up or reboot even with the monitor turned off and still be in the expected mode when you turn it on.

> in August I discovered the KM v1.8.24 I haven't been so lucky. Can you provide a link to this version? I'd like to test it in Win98se.

I see now that a static version of the entire page contents is hidden in a <noscript> block. With scripting on, a dynamic version should be loaded but doesn't (I don't see any scripting errors in the error console, so I don't know why not). We want to see the static version that is already there, so disabling javascript before loading the page or using the NoScript add-on to black-list the page should work. (I use a QuickJava button in my status bar to toggle JS; Using AdBlock Plus to block the scripts won't enable the <noscript> content.) But for those times when you have already loaded the page (at nbcnews.com or another) with scripting enabled and nothing displays, here's a bookmarklet to instantly display the content of all <noscript> blocks: javascript:db=document.body;db.innerHTML=db.innerHTML.split("noscript").join("div");void(0)To create a toolbar button in Firefox for the script: drag a site icon from the addressbar to the toolbar to create a bookmark button, then edit its properties by adding the code into the location field and providing a name like "unNS" or "!noscript".

Now I'm at home and just tried loading it in Firefox 2.0.0.20 with Javascript and Images disabled and...It displays! (and quickly!!) With Images enabled and no JS, it also displays but with no images. With Images and JS enabled, very long load time and then nothing. Disable JS and reload and it displays again.
