The Tweak UI "General" tab has the option: [_] Show Windows version on desktop I have it checked and see "Windows 98 4.10.2222" in the lower-right corner of my desktop. There is also a "Logon" tab with the option: [_] Log on automatically at system startup

This is excellent information -- much better than the guesses I almost posted yesterday! I still use VC5 most of the time, but sometimes VC6. I have also been experimenting with Orwell Dev-C++ / MinGW32 4.7.2 with some success.

Good work. I was finally able to download and test mpc-be and confirmed your results. I found three versions of uxtheme.dll that contained ordinal:61 and tested with two of them. I also added several stub definitions and was able to launch the app. Unfortunately, the first window that pops up is an error MessageBox titled: "MPC-BE Mini Dump" with just an [ OK ] button, but no message. Clicking [ OK ] results in a crash dialog with the details: MPC-BE executed an invalid instruction inmodule MPC-BE.EXE at 016f:0041bb23. and Bytes at CS:EIP:f3 0f 10 05 28 c4 d2 00 8d be dc 13 00 00 f3 0fMy C3 processor doesn't support SSE and fineSSE isn't currently enabled, so this result wasn't totally unexpected!More on the ordinal problem later, but clearly I need to add ordinal support to both Kexstubs and ImportPatcher.

@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.
