Okay, simpler: download kernel32.dll from one of those locations: http://www.upload2.net/page/download/PvBN9...102222.ZIP.html http://z13.zupload.com/file.php?filepath=47608 replace one in \windows\system with one you downloaded. (http://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+replace+system+file+from+dos)

It depends. You can patch explorer.exe OR you can create explorer.exe.32bitimgl file in %systemroot% and you will have 32-bit icon it tray then.

Yes and no. Hex-edit kernel32.dll and replace 'user9x.dll' with 'user32.dll' string.

Well, if you don't have Windows 98 CD, you can't go back. RP 3.6 does not back up files by default. You can go only further. There are 3 ways: - 1st way: Download&install RP6 or 7. May work as expected. - 2nd way: Download&install latest USP. During install, always select to replace newer files from older. Restore your registry from old backup. - 3rd way: Download&install latest 98SE2ME, including option 3!

Can you try Windows 2000 RP on NT4?

Then something wrong with you. You must be able to find at least two values. I've just checked latest browseui.dll with HxD.

It should be language neutral.

Those aren't bugs which are because of bugs in 32-bit icon algorithm; those bugs are by design in Windows because of not implemented features or patch required. They're not present in Windows 98 RP, but that's another issue.

Are you sure they're both 32-bit? Check them for transparency with some tool which is able to show it. I'm certainly looking for a way to provide 32-bit icons with 24x24 size into Explorer toolbar. It is easily possible by patching files, but i want to find a way to do it on the fly.

Use ntldr / ntdetect.com from Win XP or newer.

Version 1.5 attached to the first post - Fixed Explorer crash which can occur while image-lists are being refreshed - Added 32-bit icon support into taskbar (Note: not every application will support it. Opera and applications compiled on Borland compilers may not show 32-bit icons on taskbar)

Believe or not, this bug is known. However, i though it to be extremely rare. That's how reputation is lost, eh Wait please for 1.5 where i'll fix it. I just need to find time for that.

Bugs #1,2: known, random, weird, trying to fix. #3: not explored & not known how to fix: Windows XP also doesn't display all 32-bit .ico files, only some of them. #4: this bug happens because when 32-bit & non-32 bit image is composited, it is impossible to distinguish what result is. Render may be either with weird arrow or weird arrow and no image at all. Don't know what to do either. Other than that, i'll try to fix #1-#2, and also add 32-bit icons in taskbar at least.

This means rpl2k.dll was already registered from this or another directory. Try to unregister before registering. If it won't help, manually clean AppInit_DLLs.

Well, rebuild icon cache (or install 1.2 which will do this automatically)

Well, her banning was one of the reasons why i've mainly switched to the W2000 improving. I've wanted to write insulting posts about that several times but could stop myself from this - coz' it's useless.

Well. Alpha-blended icons in taskbar, window captions and Alt-Tab dialog is not supported now because they're drawn at deeper system level. note: you can workaround this now by using WindowBlinds, TClock3 and other skinning programs. I think i can patch at that level as well, however, i need to know which user32.dll version is *latest* now and where can I download it now. Edit: oh noes calls go to teh kernal Version 1.2 with following improvements attached to first post: - Shell icon cache is now rebuilt after installation - Rocketdock images issue fixed

Well. That's can also be because Shell Icon BPP not equals 32. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics] "Shell Icon BPP"="32"(you may need to relogin) That entry is set when you register dll, but only for current user. Under other user, you must apply this registry change or re-register dll if possible. Oh yes. I've found the problem. The problem is that Rocketdock creates ILC_COLOR32 imagelist not ILC_COLOR32 | ILC_MASK. While this will work and display 32-bit icons under Windows XP (undocumented however), that will break any other icon that isn't 32-bit. But programmer was sure that there will be no such case? That's pretty bad! There are several solutions to that problem; i'll choose one that works best. Wait for 1.2

Does it work for anyone? I think it is Well, in such cases: 1) Make sure you're running 32-bit video mode. 2) Rebuild icon cache. The easiest way to do this is to open Display->Effects->Check "Large Icons"->OK, Display->Effects->Uncheck "Large Icons"->OK. 3) NVIDIA drivers were crap in all Windows versions (especially now - poor Vista users). In Windows 98, driver bugs were cureable by rotating screen by some angle and rotating it back. 4) Un-register and register dll again. 5) If you still don't achieve anything, post screenshots and/or Dependancy Walker logs for program.

Well, i've contacted author about that and managed to fix (workaround) this in version 1.1 (first post) Create empty file programname.exe.32bitimgl (where programname.exe resides) to force your programname to work with 32-bit images. With that (miranda32.exe.32bitimgl), Miranda displays 32-bit icons everywhere flawlessly! About upgrading: you should uninstall (unregister) rpl2k.dll first. Then reboot, replace dll with newer version, register new version, and reboot again (or logoff).

Here's the problem: http://miranda.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/...c?revision=4796 hImageList = ImageList_Create(GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSMICON),GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSMICON),IsWinVerXPPlus()? ILC_COLOR32 | ILC_MASK : ILC_COLOR16 | ILC_MASK,0,3); hIconsList = ImageList_Create(GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSMICON),GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSMICON),IsWinVerXPPlus()? ILC_COLOR32 | ILC_MASK : ILC_COLOR16 | ILC_MASK,0,100); This plug-in doesn't imagine itself Windows <XP with 32-bit icon support! So, possible solutions: * Ask author for change - Lie to Miranda what we're running on Windows XP - Force Miranda to get only 32-bit imagelists

I haven't used Miranda for a while. Can you please tell me which plug-ins/smilies i should install?

I'm sorry to multiply topics across the board, but i think you guys wanted this: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=93160
