http://rapidshare.de/files/18431825/MSN_Me...er_7.5.zip.html This is MSN Messenger 7.5 with version checking removed from MSI file, English version. I'm not sure if it works; it loads and displays all right but i can't test it coz my 9x machine has no inet. INSTALL: Install msi file as usual (remember that toolbar seems not working) Then copy dummy PSAPI.dll to MSN messenger exe's directory. Then copy unicows.dll from \windows\system (you have it if you have SP2) to MSN messenger exe's directory. I'm not sure at all what you need, but you may need to: 0) Remove and wipe out MSN Messenger 7.0 1) have UNSP2 2) have IE6 3) have WMP9 4) have ME shell (98SE2ME opt.3 or RPLite) 5) have Kernel Update If it works, please upload it to better hosting.

Acrobat Reader 7 running on 98 with latest Kernel Update + Unicode libraries (KernelXP). You know, it's just political. There was no technical difficulties for Adobe. ^^ See the proof ^^ Also notice some RPLite5 features (hm, sometime it'll be released).

That's because IE6SP1 used same binaries for 9x,2k and XP. Those DLLs are delay-load and should not cause problems (?)

Looks like you've messed your shell. Do this: run regedit: search keys for value: "none" (exaclty) and delete them so it looked like this: _______________________ (default) "none" and will look like (default) (value not set)

You are welcome

Please notice that link you're providing is a RPLite4 update and it should be installed only on RPLite4, available from its topic.

Check this topic please.

Check RPLite topic for download. Sorry for bump.

Very nice! I'm impressed, but I can't test now: i'm falling asleep. I'll explore into this tomorrow... Also, Xeno86, make sure you're targeting kernel32.dll 4.10.2225: it has significally less space between sections so i'm not sure in Method 1.

Probably final Windows 98 Revolutions boot logo.

Added fixed for dos 7.0 version to the first post.

Well, bad. I haven't tried to run it in dos/9x, but in xp/dos it work well. I'll explore this problem.

I have hard time writing this thing in pure assembler, and now i'm proudly presenting my new work: SVGA (not VGA!) animated XP-like boot screen! I want you to test it! Please download,extract,run and test: - Does it display propertly? (describe your hardware) - Does it animates propertly? - Do you like this kind of boot screen/animation? (DO NOT complain about picture, it sux i know) This version just displays picture and terminates, final version will be in/with win.com. It is going to be available in RPLite 5 tech beta in two weeks, source code will be avaiable. XPLogo2.zip

Install RPLite v3, which is available in RP Lite topic.

1. No 2. No It's not easily possible to use this DLL in any OS.

Sometime ago i wanted generic SVGA/VESA driver (like in XP) to include onto my 98 rescue CD. I've found generic SVGA driver for Windows 3.11 circulating in net (SVGA.EXE, you can find it here for example). But it refused to work (even in 3.1 on 486) But recently i've found a cool patch which adds VESA compliant video card support to this driver. And now you have 1024x768x256 instead of 640x480x16. I think it is much better! MDGx may advise this driver and patch somewhere in his useful tips. I've created a zip with required files and nothing unnecessary. You must merge system.cb included into this zip with yours in \windows (if you have one) and copy other files into \windows\system. After that, in safe mode, you will get maximum resolution. You can reduce "resolution=" in system.cb I haven't tried it enough - it does not work under VMWare (but nothing bad must happen, just error message and VGA driver loads) SVGA.zip

I think that's because this patch modifies GetVersionInfoEx build number hi word to detect itself; propertly written applications should never examine buld number hi word. Better not to rely on GetVersionEx, i hope it'll be solved in next patch version (?).

Well, LLXX, i'm not sure what it is so easy to add functions. In the patch you've submitted, no new functions were added into export table - they were in 98 kernel, but unimplemented. I know, adding functions to entry table is much harder. Are you sure that it is possible?

Excellent.

Patcher won't work on Win9x without rewriting .cmd-files to .bat ones with 9x paths. I've tried it, looks great, but too Linuxish to me - too different from Windows icons, even from firefox html icon. Do not forget that you'll need to use RPLite to turn on 32-bit icons support, because there is no 8-bit analogs!

Install WDM Update (included in Unofficial Service Pack) and use manufacter drivers instead of kX.

It is good, however, i'm sure that main improvement in tcpip.sys and it is not included in 98SE2ME. I also don't know which files or registry entries are responsible for it.

Yes? Give me examples. Any. Also: you want to say Win9x APIs are emulated in NT? Give me examples.

Link21, please, give examples instead of nude words. What do you mean? Which old applications? new applications? Which newer APIs? obsolete APIs? Just another agressive dreamer.
