    Hm, don't have 98 system now, so try this in virtual system or make backups of everything!

    1) Please make sure you have at least IE 5.5 installed.

    2) Now, get these files from ME:

    EXPLORER.EXE

    COMDLG32.DLL

    SHELL32.DLL

    3) Run regsvr32 /u shdoc401.dll

    3.5) Run regsvr32 /u shell32.dll

    4) Exit to MS-DOS, delete shdoc401.dll & shd401lc.dll (from \system)

    5) Replace explorer.exe in \windows, shell&comdlg32 in \system

    6) Run windows

    there are 3 ways:

    (1): show taskbar&hangs - make "shell=command.com" in system.ini; proceed (3)

    (2): show nothing&crash - oops! roll back everything! my fault!

    (3): works great or almost no errors: run regsvr32 /i shell32.dll; reboot&let shell=explorer.exe if you've changed it.

    if there are errors, try to run regsvr32 /i shdocvw.dll, regsvr32 /i browseui.dll ...

    hope this helps to great pack.

  2. There are many official methods to check Windows platform id (9x or NT) and undocumented too. Office 2003 & other apps can check some undocumented functions. This tool hacks only official checking method, so...

    But, if "Viewer" versions of Office 2k3 programs can run on Windows 98, i think whole Office can. I'll explore this problem.

  3. BIG Update, PLEASE TEST!!!:

    (now works automatically and patches accurately)

    http://rapidshare.de/files-en/440666/TlbXPatch.exe.html

    This version *SHOULD* work on *ANY* IE5 and higher version.

    So, please test it everyb. It's good and *maybe*

    Gape will include it in SP as an optional component?

    This version patches somewhat slowly and hosting is not so good.

    IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG, there are .bak versions in \system folder remains.

  4. Ok, i've never seen this here, it's only One's expirience.

    Stuff:

    MS-DOS does not support Ultra DMA HDD modes.

    Read speed is limited to 1-2 Mb/s while Win9x protected-mode drivers aren't loaded and the difference between modern UDMA 20-30 Mb/s are huge even on hi-end system.

    So the solution is to enable Ultra DMA mode in DOS.

    1) Download latest copy of UDMA2 package for DOS

    http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/...dos/udma/devel/

    it's compatible with any DOS version.

    2) Include device=<driver name> or devicehigh=<driver name> to config.sys. U can use any .sys driver from package (i prefer UDMAJR because it's safe and fast)

    3) Find IOS.INI file in windows folder and add UDMAJR.SYS (or another driver's name) to the [safeList] entry (to tell Windows to unload driver when booting protected mode drivers)

    Reboot and feel the 3-10 seconds speedup.
