Well, you can try to hex-edit VXD and replace "taskmgr.exe" to "explorer.exe" in it. Virtual Reboot in RP is different; Reload in Taskmgr does the same work as Start->Shut down->Reboot+SHIFT.

I've written such VXD many months ago. It hooks CTRL-SHIFT-ESC and displays simple task manager which can run programs (including explorer) even if everything fallen. http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?s=&sho...ndpost&p=412089 'Virtual Reboot' feature which you've described is included in my Revolutions Pack (since 2.5) and in RP Lite (in Unofficial Service Pack forum). It does not reload VXDs (because static VXDs do not support such functionalty), but it reloads processes.

Problem is in Revolutions Pack 3. Consider upgrading it to RP Lite v4.

Annoying Please show me 16-bit app which you use and it loads icons from Internet.

NotepadEx.

no. There is a registry tweak which is present in ME explorer, but it may not work in 98 explorer. Grippers won't dissappear - it is implemented completely in RP.

Elementary. System backups are deleted to prevent registry conflicts with old files which will be restored with restoring old Windows files and registry, coz RP3.5+ files are highly uncompatible with other system files. I'm agreed that this is unintellegent command to workaround several backup/restore errors, but i WON'T fix it in RP4. - RP is ended. - Better use RP3.6. - It warns that product is dangerous and backup/restore is not reliable. Backup is NOT by default. - This issue is not present in RPLite.

This post was made after RP support have ended. I can't just delete a line from script without testing - it was added somewhen with some purpose. So better use RP Lite - it does not contain this command and supported now.

Yes, I do.

You can jugde me, but LOL Wait plz for 'new RP release'.

Ok dude got ur point but i'm not sure it is possible to do what you want. Better try Windows 3.1 for this Easy: 1) Cut everything and set shell to command.com 2) make winstart.bat in windows dir and add command.com to it. I've noticed before that winstart.bat is loaded after shell and main kernel32, but i'm not sure about win32 apps and of course no multitasking there. Advanced: - how Windows loads: - win.com starts vmm32.vxd - vmm32.vxd contains vmm.vxd, which is started first (virtual machine manager) - protected mode starts - drivers are loading - shell.vxd from vmm32.vxd starts krnl386.exe - gdi&user are loaded - vwin32.vxd from vmm32.vxd starts kernel32.dll - 32-bit gdi&user are loaded - gui appears So... Only possible solution i see is to write vxd driver which will provide dos and multitasking.

msdxm.ocx contains bitmap logo for MPlayer2. dxmsaf.dll contains animated logo.

Looks like you're wrong, MDGx. According to Dependancy Walker, PSAPI.DLL from NT4 SDK or 2000 CD won't work with 9x. And I don't know any. But it is not so hard to write own...

OMG! IT HELPED!!! Thx you, rico2k_uk!

I highly doubt... Install don't even use amdk7.sys... I'll try to leave setup for night and then install it, but i don't think it is the remedy.

amdk7.sys ?! Try to remember, rico2k_uk! I'm not sure that it is driver problem, looks like more a chipset problem (<=266Mhz AMD chipsets affected).

I'm also affected! Athlon-1000,Abit KT7A,256 PC133,120GB,GF4MX - took 4 hours to install, everything works very slow, but, in safemode, everything works perfect (both for Beta1 and 5219)! I've tried removing all devices, reinstalling drivers from XP, but still no remedy. Maybe Microsoft can help?

To solve SHGetFolderPathA dependancy, install my 98 Revolutions Pack (with care!) (http://tihiy.ahanix.org) discussed in Unofficial Service Pack subforum or 98SE2ME with option 3. Or you can replace that string with any other shorter non-sense function.

Can you just replace that strings in exes/dlls with hex editor? Will game run?

Remove /b.

Very interesting, although i'm not German. Strange that I still can see topic and links UPD: Really, really very interesting and hard work, at least on 9x distro. I've never seen such quality before.

That's the main problem of all free task managers - it's impossible to get memory usage without writing a low level driver. I remember MS WinTop PowerToy did it well. If I'll rewrite my taskmanager I'll use WinTop driver functionality.

And what about New 98 FE + 98 SE + ME patches available? There are a bunch of fixes not included in SP now, including interesting unofficial KRNL386.EXE patch.

Well, IE slipstreaming is possible, but hard to make right. I think you should do 2 things: - copy all IE updated files into setup dir (i.e. mshtml*,browseui,browselc,shdoc401,sh401lc,shdoclc,shdocvw,urlmon,wininet,iexpore and some other files) - edit ie*.inf (search Unattended Windows, nLite and other forums for details on IE6->Win2000 slipstreaming) for correct version, new files and other info. That's advanced. As for DirectX it's much easier to do silent install (you can turn off Dx6 install and break install order to reduce setup time, but it's very advanced).
