I'll let you know as soon as I have my Win98 SE up and running again...

In a perfect world, maybe, but in the real world that's not possible.The OS has to use that 1% for itself, even if "stripped down" to the max, without any extra "features" [read "bloat"] or background programs/processes. HTH

No, wmvcore.dll 10.x.x.x [any build] does not work with Win9x OSes.You must use wmvcore.dll 9.00.00.3355 , the most recent 9.x.x.x build to my knowledge. HTH

Please do not dismiss all of us, just because we use Win95/98/ME. Some of us [like myself] also care to tinker heavily with DOS 6/7/8.

I am using afvxd.vxd 4.90.3000 from Windows ME setup CD-ROM [CABs]. Works like a charm.

Hi guys, I'm back. I had an unfortunate computer crash a couple of weeks ago, so I had to rebuild my PC from scratch. I have changed the hex address in DISKTSD.VXD as instructed by dencorso [thanks again ], please install again to see if now getver displays the version correctly. I can't tell because I don't have access to Win98 SE anymore, I'm running XP exclusively for now, my new mobo may [or may not] support 98 SE, so until I get on a computer with 98 SE [or fix my mobo Intel P35 chipset INFs to work with 98 SE], I won't be able to test anything. * Unofficial Windows 98/98 SP1/98 SE USB Floppy Lockups DISKTSD.VXD 4.90.3001 Fix: http://www.msfn.org/board/?showtopic=43605&st=352 Direct download [112 KB, English]: http://www.mdgx.com/files/USBFDD98.EXE This DISKTSD.VXD 4.90.3001 Fix installs also as part of Native USB (NUSB): http://www.mdgx.com/web.htm#NUS HTH

To my knowledge HOSTS location in Windows 95/98/ME is "hardwired", and must be found in %windir% [usually C:\WINDOWS]. In NT4/2000/XP/2003/Vista HOSTS location can be changed by modifying this registry value: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechn...ntry/33565.mspx There are probably [?] network/internet applications which use customized HOSTS, and those probably have a way to specify HOSTS location, but I don't know of any. IMHO: Sounds like "include=filename" for custom HOSTS location might be a Perl, CGI or PHP application/config file. [?] HTH
