  1. >>1) ntfs has more security checks Slowing access to files. And easy enough to bypass. >>has additional streams that can be used for example, like kaspersky does, to extremely speed up antivirus scanning More often used by viruses. Oh and have i said that kaspersky is crap? >>windows uses less ram to read ntfs drives Oh? NTFS wasn't included in 9x, because it eated too much RAM. FAT32 structures are never loaded into memory completely while MFT do. >>4) ntfs supports compression and encryption without needing extra software Which noone in right mind uses. >>5) ntfs has a rollback system that automatically undoes interrupted operations if for example your pc powers off while the ntfs is being written Oh, i remember XP SP0 rolled back my entire work day. Better read: http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/pubs/vista_cost.txt However, it is paranoid enough. There is no crashes in current Firefox versions which are solved by upgrading. Oh noes, i recalled: Mozilla had to release a Firefox 2.0.0.1 just to make it work with Vista... O RLY? Again, there were no Catalyst updates. And that means they've included buggy driver into RTM. I won't tell how ugly Vista is and how pathetic it comes perfomance-wise. I'll tell you funny story:Recently, i had to install XP on a modern Sony Vaio. After installing it and fully updating, it kept hanging on shutdown or standby. After several support calls and mass hysteria i've found a fix that must solve this problem. And guess what? It does not exist for Russian XP version (however, it was found 2 years ago), nor it was available for public. I had to hack file in Safe Mode just to install 'hotfix' for an 5-year-mature OS which hanged on shutdown. Oh, and didn't you heard a recent story where one simple MessageBox caused memory corruption, privilege elevation and BSOD on 2000-XP-Vista?(It is still not fixed) Mac OS < X didn't have a decent memory protection too.
  2. Well, according to this: %USB\VID_03EE&PID_6901.DeviceDesc%=USBSTOR_CBI,USB\VID_03EE&PID_6901 USB\VID_03EE&PID_6901.DeviceDesc = "Mitsumi USB Floppy" seems no. Are you stating that all USB FDDs will fail?
  3. This DLL is language neutral.
  4. Here is D3DX9_32.DLL with patched header to run under 9x: http://rapidshare.com/files/8639801/d3dx9_32.zip.html besides header, it seems it does not contains evil checks aganist 9x. However, i can't check if it is really working, because there is no app which uses it now.
  5. OMG! You've done it while i hasn't! Congratulations! However: 1) MOAR screenshots please. And i mean a lot MOAR. 2) I don't believe that Sourceforge hosts this! Dunno what MSFN'll say. 3) 2 CD - sure a lot. Can you please write a short list: what's included, what's removed, what's extremely different?
  6. Sorry for crossposting. I've released new patch for IE6 which must fix "gray background in 32-bit png" issue for any pngfilt.dll version: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?s=&amp...st&p=600188
  7. I think NotepadEx is the best 'strict classic' Notepad replacement. If does include everything what you want, no toolbars, highlighting, text formatting and other weird things Notepad should never have. Plus it is fast and does not suffer from Richtext features [it IS based on Richedit, however, you should not notice it]. I can upload version with ~exact XP look [Lucida Console].
  8. NO, it won't work. You can make it run on 9x, but it won't make difference, because problem in mshtml.
  9. Well, i can patch latest version, although, it does not fixes "transparent png" issue, it only makes them have window instead of gray bgcolor.
  10. I'll suggest: 1) Install VC into directory with short name. (ms build tools still have problems with them) 2) Add executable file directories to PATH.
  11. 180 MB That's definitely too much even if it includes ALL updates.
  12. Well, Firefox must be internally Unicode, and thus must use unicode APIs. If they'll use ANSI strings and ANSI apis, there will be much more headaches.
  13. Better say how'd you skinned windows and taskbar. edit: nah i see now... efx and taskbar wallpaper... omg
  14. It should, but i can't reproduce it... Does your IE crash on this page? http://www.security.nnov.ru/files/mobb_018.html edit: omg 777 posts
  15. It's not that terrible; it's just alpha.
  16. Hi people! I think you should try Supercopier Download link: http://supercopier.sfxteam.org/modules/myd...cid=1&lid=8 It replaces Windows copy/move operations and thus should workaround this IE6 problem.
  17. TERRIBLE and DISGUSTING. Even worse than first MSN Toolbar with tabbed browsing.
  18. Okay, open browseui.dll with hex editor and search and replace values. This is for browseui.dll 5.5,6.0 and may be 5.0. For Lange Icons toolbar set. Replace hex values with ones you need. Toolbar size: (20->24) S: 6A14BE0501 R: 6A18BE0501 Go button size: (16->20) S: 6A10682201 R: 6A14682201 Go button size: (16->20) S: 6A10682301 R: 6A14682301 Toolbar size: (20->24) S: 6A1458A3 R: 6A1858A3 Go button size: (16->20) S: 8D048510 R: 8D048514
  19. Here they are! http://rapidshare.de/files/34656937/Window...Forums.rar.html
  20. I feel some deja vu. Several mothns ago i've downloaded 'Unofficial Windows 95 modern processors update' from some OSBA server. I had a lot of modified VXDs. If i'll find them on my PC i'll upload them somewhere.
  21. It won't work since mspatch does not rely on COM. mspatch functions are extremely easy to use. API is described here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default..../bdcapitech.asp I use them in RPLite V [English]. It is easy but requires some weird string format.
  22. Wait, looks like bools***. It may be my fault. Try to expirement with different .3GR and .386 files. (IIRC 386Grabber files provide support for video-mode changing for DOS apps...
  23. Look&Check here: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=69569 Universal SVGA 8bit driver. Apply instructions to system.ini instead of system.cb to use it in normal mode. Hope this helps.
  24. One byte can be changed to make it work on 9x, but why? Is is useless standalone. Sometime i'll make shell patch to fix those MS??-??? vulnerabilites, but i'm not sure when.
  25. I haven't checked code, but project seems excellent. It is not needed to patch Kernel Update because it is patch itself and does not provide kernel32.dll But patch 4.10.2225!
