Yes, yes. Looks like it's just hardcoded patch for w95.

Yes, i can replace that bitmaps and it will be good if i'll be able to change them. Which Windows Version Changer did you use? Mine?

While examining undocumented structures which are used by Eppie, i've found that standard Windows title buttons is also stored in strange blue-lighted state. Is there any undocumented buttons behaviour or registry key that can make such effect - blue buttons? I remember i saw something like that, but i don't remember where...

Ahm... Looks like... Kind of... bashing me?.. Lol, my son.

Io.sys from Q311561 reduced by 100KB. I've removed DOS configuration manager and standard boot logo. logo.sys still can be used. It can be interesting. WINBOOT.zip

can be: - Software confict - Registry error - Incorrect Explorer.exe version - .pwl (password file) issue

You just can't search. http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=43605

Don't include any. Hm... Why?

I can remove standard logo from IO.SYS, not add. It is packed with some proprietary algorithm, i'm not so good in compression.

Yes, it is pure trash

According to Patch137 manuals, Windows scandisk and Defrag unable to work with big disks. However, DOS scandisk able. In Safe Mode, Windows uses only DOS to access HDD, so no pdr or other drivers loaded.

"Invalid switch /M/W". space seems to be needed for start.exe.

Maybe. The main problem with these applications that they're written to take advantage of Unicode functions which are't implemented in 9x/ME. KernelXP project (set of wrapper libraries) allow some simple applications to run, although complex application does not work correctly in most cases. Another big problem that KernelXP is uncompatible with Revolutions Pack - what's why this project is paused. I'll give Adobe Acrobat Reader 7 a try.

You probably have MB with Intel chipset or own IDE/SATA drivers.

You can try and look. It's very small in size, but I was unable to find what it does. Not sure about anything, i have 120GB HDD max.

Gape, you're an oracle. This crazy address http://members.aol.com/__121b_HeNUO+UpHGm0...9g/v5yhhca3pTc= leads to patch for Esdi_506.pdr, which enables handling of 145GB [and more in full ver]; but it is demo and no even warez copies exist. Recently maximus have sent me a hexed copy of that patch which works with drives up to 400GB; i'm currently testing it now. Also some DOS/Windows tools can't handle this limit as well. It can be fixed by using Windows ME tools like scandiskw or defrag. New DOS tools can be used from FreeDOS. "DOS driveletter fix" is a patch for any io.sys which makes DOS to forget drive letter order when installing new drive.

You're right here; your product is more flexible and suitable for almost anyone. But MDCU specializes on wise install order which advice full installation (98lite seems also not supported), so "preserving" (sp2.cab) and file-existance check is not need. As for MS article, i studied it when was creating inf scenario for RP. I noticed almost all flags not working properly with setupx installer (i don't know is it true), so i'm using setupapi (NT-like) installer, which is faster and correctly uses all flags.

Gape, you're wrong in some criterias: Not exactly true. It uses same Windows install mechanism and does not contains any IE/MDAC/WSH/MSI/VCRT updates, so all updates can be installed well. Adopted from ME. Sometimes even better than ME support. - Preserve mechanism (new files from sp2.cab) + Really solves 512+MB of RAM problem SE SP doesn't contain some features of MDCU: - DOS driveletter fix - QFECHECK entries - Install order. It's tested many times and different from SE SP.

"as legal as possible" hm... Shell Update contains files which aren't available separately, only from ME. So you need valid Win ME.

You cannot use /custom parameter under Windows. I remember you can use /a parameter for scandskw to perfom automatic scan. Set parameters for checking in scandisk.

azagahl, wrong topic I'm aware of that problem, it'll be fixed in next version, i've already told.

Yes, clicking on a lot of "No" buttons is annoying.

*insulting* Good Idea, although if you haven't tried, don't post just to post. Hm... Why am I posting now?

Cute. Please don't doublepost. Then KernelXP will be able to do something serious, i'll tell. Currently project is paused.
