I've also revised Q891711.EXE [418 KB]:http://www.mdgx.com/files/Q891711.EXE Q891711 ReadMe: http://www.mdgx.com/files/Q891711.TXT SED and INF to install automatically, no matter which versions are installed. Same with EXPLOR98.EXE + KB918547.EXE . Besides that, the text file that pops up right before install now has this: And at the end of install, you'll always see this popup: I've done the same with EXPLOR98.EXE [171 KB]:http://www.mdgx.com/files/EXPLOR98.EXE EXPLOR98 ReadMe: http://www.mdgx.com/files/EXPLOR98.TXT Actually, EXPLOR98 pops up this right before install: and KB918547.EXE [373 KB]:http://www.mdgx.com/files/KB918547.EXE HTH

UPDATED · 5-29-2007 Updated: - Updated NV8269.EXE = added more GeForce2 GPUs + revised INF. - Added EXPLOR98.EXE = 98 SE EXPLORER.EXE fix. - Auto-Patcher 1.96.55 Update. - UBCD98 4.5.20 Update. - Updated DXTEST.EXE = added 4 new D3D samples. - New KB918547.EXE = 98 FE GDI32.DLL + GDI.EXE 4.10.2004 . - New ITDXM9X.EXE = Italian fix. - Updated ITCRPTME.EXE = Italian fix. - Updated IT237493.EXE = Italian fix. - New DISKMIND.EXE = dmindr32 + dmdos disk scanners. - Shockwave 10.2.0.022 .

bad link ? 2.15 was the last "freeware" version, next, I think, were shareware or evaluation versions. 1. Not a bad link:http://www.mdgx.com/fw.htm#FWL Please try again, I just tried it and works ok. Maybe my web provider was doing some maintenance on their servers when you tried 1st time. [?] 2. Kerio Personal Firewall (KPF) 2.1.5 is the last freeware, newer versions are all trial shareware [become "crippled freeware" after 30 days of evaluation]. Kerio doesn't even develop the personal firewall anymore, they sold it to Sunbelt, who now makes the 4.x.xxx shareware versions of SPF (Sunbelt Personal Firewall), but only for NTx OSes [2000/XP/2003/Vista]. If you wish, you can try SPF [also linked at my web page above]: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/Home-Home-...sonal-Firewall/ SPF [6.27 MB]: http://go.sunbelt-software.com/?linkid=440 HTH

1. Q891711 double-install issue:Why would one wish to install it twice? Every time one runs Q891711.EXE, it installs the same files over and over. Because of the backup feature, this does happen, because the current USER*.* files are renamed to *.O98, and only after reboot the new USER*.* files are actually installed, because the USER*.* files are in use, and cannot be replaced while Windows is running, this replacement has to be done from native MS-DOS [by means of wininit.ini], before Windows GUI loads. I guess I could prevent this from happening by adding "TargetFileVersion=@FileSectionList" and "[FileSectionList]" in the SED file to abort the install if USER*.* or USER*.O98 4.10.2233 detected in %windir%\system . I'll have to experiment, to see if this actually works. 2. If one has any newer versions of the USER*.* files [like the WinME ones installed by 98SE2ME options 1 + 2], the Q891711.EXE installer will prompt the user if he/she wants to replace the new ones [already there] with the older ones from the Q891711 installer. If the user says yes, the newer version files will be renamed [backed up] as *.O98 files, and then the older ones will be copied to %windir%\system as USER.EXE + USER32.DLL after reboot. I see where the problem is: If the user says no, the newer ones will be backed up [renamed] as *.O98 after reboot, but the older ones won't be copied to %windir%\system anymore, so there will be no USER32.DLL + USER.EXE files in %windir%\system after reboot. Ouch! I don't see any solution to this problem, except for deleting the backup feature, until I come up with another/better solution. I could use a DOS batch file instead of the INF to do this, but unfortunately it won't be the M$ hotfix way. Or I could just add ,,,4 after the file names under the copy section, to always overwrite [without asking any questions] the ones in %windir%\system with the ones from Q891711. BTW: As far as I'm aware, WinME USER*.* [4.90.300x] files are not needed for WinME EXPLORER.EXE + SHELL32.DLL [5.50.xxxx] to work with Win98 SE OS. But I'll do more testing with different USER*.* versions to make sure. HTH

Most all free(ware) firewalls that support Windows 9x OSes [95/98/ME] are listed here: http://www.mdgx.com/fw.htm#FWL Supported OSes clearly stated for each firewall. HTH [Hope This Helps]

Sorry, this doesn't make any sense to me. Can you explain in more details what happens, and what program or update are you installing, or what program is giving you this error? Also, if this is Windows Vista you are asking about, please understand that I do not have experience with Windows Vista, so you may need to ask someone else for help with your problem. Hope This Helps [HTH]

When you'll answer my PM... !!!Seriously, I'm getting tired of waiting for a reply... Basically the error was about an invalid parameter. I didn't spend time to figure out where the error came from since the original 82.69 worked. I'll still try to install manually if you want but just not right now since I've had trouble trying to use DVI display (windows fails to start half the time and chooses unsupported frequencies...) and everything seems to work fine since two reboots. I don't believe the error can be language specific since it says invalid command. Do you think it worth the effort to change the language value in the setup.ini or even mod the executable just in case ? Did you mean the PM about your win9xforever logo?I have answered it, and have removed the logo, as you requested. I have been busy, that's why I haven't answered your PM sooner, ok? About the tweaked NVidia driver: About the invalid command error: please post the screen shot of the error when you have time to install the tweaked driver. I don't think the invalid command is related to a specific language either. I would have to see the screen shot of that error. About unsupported frequencies: Please find out which frequencies are actually supported by your monitor, and eventually post them here when you have time. Then you could [on your computer] edit NVAGP.INF [installed by the tweaked driver] found in C:\WINDOWS\INF with Notepad and modify the appropriate [NVxxMOD] AddReg section that contains the frequencies for your NVidia card and delete the unsupported ones. Save your file, and then reboot. Eventually you could recompile the driver using your modded INF. If you want to do this, I can send you the SED file to make it easier. HTH

You got it... lupus = wolf

I have tested this last [fixed] driver on 2 computers, and worked great both times.I have not seen any errors. Please download again, and test [14.5 MB]: http://www.mdgx.com/files/NV8269.EXE Please be more specific, can you post here the entire error dialog box, eventually a screen shot? BTW, the installer [setup.exe] was made by InstallShield, the same company who makes M$ installer [MSI], and is meant to be installed on English language OSes. Is it possible that the error might be specific to a language other than English? What you can also try: Run: NV8259 /C /Q /T:C:\TEMP to extract all files to C:\TEMP . Then right-click on Desktop -> Properties -> Settings tab -> Advanced button -> Adapter tab -> Change button -> check "Specify the location of the driver (Advanced)" -> check "Display a list of drivers in a specific location, so you can select the driver you want" -> Have disk button -> browse to C:\TEMP -> double-click on NVAGP.INF -> OK button. See if you still get that error. If you do get any error, please post here the exact dialog box or screen shot. Thanks.

Be careful, MS-DOS 7.1 was officially released only as part of Windows 95B OSR2.0/95C OSR2.5/98/98 SE setup CD-ROMs.If you meant the boot/emergency/startup floppy/CD-ROM, that can be created from Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs -> Startup Disk tab. Although this way only a boot floppy can be created. To create a similar boot CD/DVD one needs a separate burning program. There is no such thing as stand alone MS-DOS 7.xx or 8.xx. Last MS-DOS released as stand alone was 6.22 [1993], before Windows 95 [1995], which installs MS-DOS 7.00. HTH

@ECHO OFF = should be the 1st command line of any DOS batch file. @ = makes the ECHO command itself invisible. ECHO OFF = turns off command ECHO-ing = makes all following commands invisible. Run: ECHO /? CLS = CLear Screen = wipe out the entire DOS screen display. By itself may or may not close the running DOS batch. Run: CLS /? EXIT = should be the last command line of any DOS batch that runs from within Windows [DOS box or full screen]. Closes the running batch and returns control back to the DOS command prompt. Run: EXIT /? HTH [Hope This Helps]

FYI:1. Wild animal: Lupus = wolf in Latin [commonly known as the gray wolf] is a wild animal, closely related to the domestic dog. The full species name is Canis Lupus: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf Canis = dog in Latin: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canis In zoology, Canis is a genus of animal species, which includes dogs, wolves + jackals. 2. Human disease: Lupus erythematosus [commonly known as lupus] is a chronic autoimmune human disease: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lupus_erythematosus This disease was named after the red face rash, a.k.a. erythema [most common sign in lupus], which resembles the face of an enraged wolf.

Hi,Thanks for your feedback. The files installed by 98SE2ME option 3 must be installed together or not at all, because of interdependencies. Please see READ1ST.TXT for details [see "* Option 3:" under the "98SE2ME.PIF COMPLETE GUIDE" chapter]: READ1ST.TXT If you have experienced problems with option 3, please uninstall it as instructed in READ1ST.TXT [see "* Option 3:" under the "98SE2ME.PIF COMPLETE GUIDE" chapter]: READ1ST.TXT To my knowledge, I haven't heard of problems with files installed by 98SE2ME option 3. Is there a chance you're using other programs/updates/patches that give you those errors? HTH [Hope This Helps]

Updated May 21 2007: Campaign logos [97 KB, ZIPPed]. Added glocK_94's new logos. Enjoy.

I would keep the 4.10.2233 USER*.* files [Q891711] because they fix the .ANI exploit.HTH

After the next reboot I got a message implicating kernel32. Another thing I have noticed is that the nVidia desktop manager no longer appears in the systray?Fixed install error dialog box [again ;-(].Please download the driver 1 more time [14.5 MB]: http://www.mdgx.com/files/NV8269.EXE This time everything should work ok, including the NVidia Desktop Manager in systray. The INF AddReg section error was actually [similar to the 1st error] non-essential, because setup couldn't "understand" why the INF had 2 empty sections one after the other without any rows to separate them, something like: [WhatEver.REG] [WhatEver2.REG] instead of: [WhatEver.REG] [WhatEver2.REG] No matter, the installation was completing 100% anyway [both times], even if you were seeing that error dialog box.

This works for me... If for whatever reason your desktop reverts back to 800x600 60 Hz [default values written by the NVIDIA driver into your registry at install time, considered lowest supported resolution by NVIDIA developers], or even worse, back to 640x480 60 Hz [i.e. default Windows 95 values built into the generic VGA.DRV], and this might happen if driver files become for some reason incompatible, broken or mixed-and-matched, there is a way to force a resolution/frequency pair other than default. Please see this reg file [keys 0001 and 0002 are mine, yours might be different depending on video driver installations]: -------snip------- REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Config\0001] "Resolution"="1024,768" "RefreshRate"="100" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Config\0001\Display\Settings] "Resolution"="1024,768" "RefreshRate"="100" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\Display\0002\DEFAULT] "Mode"="32,1024,768" "RefreshRate"="100" -------snip------- Save this as a REG file, and merge it back into your registry whenever you need. Or you could load it unattended in the background from your Startup folder or from the registry "Run" key, if you want it to load with Windows every time. Example: regedit /s c:\temp\nv_def.reg or from within a batch file if you wish: HTH
