Rick Chauvin: Many thanks for your kind appreciation. I'm glad you like what we're doing here at MSFN. Best wishes, MDGx

You're very welcome.98SE2ME does not impair 98 SE functionality, especially multi-boot and MS-DOS. But you need to know about the currently unresolved bugs [see the "KNOWN BUGS + FIXES" chapter]: http://www.mdgx.com/9s2m/READ1ST.TXT 98SE2ME options 1, 2 + 8 install WinME USB, Firewire + WDM Audio drivers. All the details are in READ1ST.TXT: http://www.mdgx.com/9s2m/READ1ST.TXT HTH

As far as I know, Safe Mode in Win9x [95/98/ME] OSes cannot be protected by a password, without [as you have mentioned] 3rd party apps. If you need PolEdit files + guides, please see this: http://www.mdgx.com/add.htm#POL HTH

The 925753 fix for Win2003 server is on my site since October 24 2006, please take a look here: http://www.mdgx.com/ws3toy.htm This is the file you need: * Microsoft Windows 2003 SP1 VBScript Error VBSCRIPT.DLL Fix: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=925753 Direct download [648 KB, English]: http://www.mdgx.com/files/WS925753.EXE HTH

ok, I know what I did. I was supposed to click OK (or press the Enter key) when the Timezone dialog box pops up while running the Q931836 patch. instead I pressed the Esc key (same thing as clicking the Cancel button) and that's when things got screwed up [DOH!]. The US Pacific timezone was changed to "Casablanca". anyway, I changed the timezone back to US Pacific from the Timezone dialog box and clicked OK and things were back to normal. I didn't really like the idea of the INF file removing the TimeZoneInformation registry info and the KB931836 updates for WinXP & Win2003 do NOT do that. I have removed the delete code from the INF [so no more deleted reg values].So now it still works [but may *not* change DST to new date] even if user does not click OK right after install, as instructed. - Unofficial DST Update for Windows 95/OSR1/OSR2/98/98 SP1/98 SE/ME [68 KB, English]: http://www.mdgx.com/files/Q931836.EXE - Unofficial DST Update for Windows 95/OSR1/OSR2/98/98 SP1/98 SE/ME [70 KB, Italian]: http://www.mdgx.com/files/IT931836.EXE HTH

All info you need is here [see M$ web pages]:http://www.mdgx.com/ietoy.htm#RCF * Microsoft Internet Explorer 4/5/6/7 Root Certificates Update (RCU) for Windows 9x/NT4 SP6a/2000/ME/XP/2003/Vista: http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...rtf/en/4702.htm RCU [268 KB, English]: http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...en/rootsupd.exe More info: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=931125 How to Fix RCU Errors in Windows 2000/XP/2003: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=822798 Microsoft Root Certificate Program: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/archive/s...s/rootcert.mspx Certificate Support + Update Root Certificates Component: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechn...t/03_xpcer.mspx HTH

Can you post more details about what's wrong with WU access, and eventually how you fixed it [REG entries, DLLs, roots update problems etc]?I've also noticed that WU/WUC can't be accessed unless one reinstalls the newest roots update over and over whenever WU/WUC sites don't work??? Thanks.

Again, please understand that this package includes only fonts that can be downloaded/installed from M$ programs, updates, packs that can be found on the internet etc.TTFPAK does not include fonts that are only on setup/install CD-ROMs, or distributed solely by commercial/shareware software. If I would to add other [3rd party, free] fonts to TTFPAK, I should actually add more than 100 fonts, which [as you may have figured out] would add a lot to the size of the executable [TTFPAK is already ~ 4 MB]. And the purpose of this pack is to install only [newer/updated] fonts needed by the OS and/or OS components, like MS IE/OE, 3rd party web browsers etc. HTH

You're right, we each have our preferences, for example, I've replaced that banner with my web site logo.

Win98 retail/Gold/RTM/FE (First Edition) canNOT be upgraded to Win98 SE, no matter which pack you install. Win98 can only be upgraded to 98 SP2: http://www.msfn.org/board/?showtopic=44732 Similarly, 98 SE SP2 is only for Win98 SE: http://exuberant.ms11.net/98sesp.html Win98 can be upgraded to Win98 SE only with a Win98 SE setup CD-ROM from M$. HTH

Theoretically the roots update should install on all Win9x editions with MS IE 4/5/6 installed, including Win95, but I don't have any of those OSes installed anymore, so I can't test.If anyone has Windows 95, 95a OSR1, 95B OSR 2.0/2.1 or 95C OSR 2.5 please test and post here results. Thanks.

Thanks for testing.Done. Replaced OLEDLG.DLL 5.00.2195.7114 with older build 5.0.1601.0 from WinME. Should work ok with all Win9x editions. Please test to make sure. * Unofficial Windows 98/98 SP1/98 SE/ME OLE Automation Libraries (DLLs) 2.40.4528 OLEAUT32.DLL, OLEDLG.DLL, OLEPRO32.DLL + STDOLE2.TLB Update: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=259403 Direct download [512 KB]: http://www.mdgx.com/files/OLEUP.EXE HTH

None of these URLs work for me. Could you upload this file somewhere else, please? Or if you wish, please email it to me: http://www.mdgx.com/form.htm Thanks a bunch.

Try this one [tested, works fine]:http://www.mdgx.com/add.htm#TZU respectively this file: Unofficial DST Update for Windows 95/OSR1/OSR2/98/98 SP1/98 SE/ME [68 KB, English]: http://www.mdgx.com/files/Q931836.EXE HTH

This has been done a long time ago by Gape, and included [explorer.exe] in his 98SE SP2 package: http://www.msfn.org/board/?showtopic=61749 98SE2ME option 6 also installs this file: http://www.msfn.org/board/?showtopic=46349 HTH

Please see this post for the fix: http://www.msfn.org/board/?s=&showtopi...st&p=632734 HTH [Hope This Helps]

Actually, I've tried the SanDisk 2 GB Cruzer USB stick again, and works 100% with the new SETUPAPI.DLL and NUSB 3.0.Weird? HTH

From Anonymous author... Actually I thought of this too, and never uninstalled Q928090, but just installed the newest roots update as of January 31 2007 [this link now works *properly* with Win98 + ME: http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...en/rootsupd.exe = and is newer than the roots update we were talking about in this forum a couple of weeks ago], and voila... now all these URLs work ok: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/catalog/ http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/catalog/ HTH

I have found (finally, I hope) a command line tool that can be used with Win98/ME to adjust DST time zone unattended from within a BATch file. Windows XP SP2 Support Tools: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=838079 Direct download [4.7 MB, English]: http://download.microsoft.com/download/d/3...rtTools-ENU.exe Extract the CAB files using the /X parameter [if using 2000/XP/2003] or use WinZip or PowerArchiver or similar tool [if using 98/ME], and then extract timezone.exe from SUPPORT.CAB . This timezone.exe version *is* compatible with Win9x OSes: For US English Win95/98/ME OSes we need this command:TIMEZONE.EXE /S 02:0:2:03 02:0:1:11 The only problem is I didn't have time to fully test it. It appears to function properly under Win98 SE. What I've noticed, if it is run after the DST start time was changed [after March 11 2007 02:00 AM], it doesn't change these 2 registry values [example]: But if it is run before the DST start time kicks in [before March 11 2007], it does change those 2 reg values to [example]: Also, each time zone probably needs a different timezone.exe command.I'm still working on it, and will post here more results. The purpose of all this testing, is to add timezone.exe to the DST patches for Win95/98/ME, in order to make them fully automated: http://www.mdgx.com/add.htm#TZU Anybody wants to test this? HTH TZ__DST.ZIP

Very much so [especially registry entries (?)], otherwise disk clusters/files/directories [even if deffective] have nothing to do with money99 or any other software program.The only thing that might happen if the money99 clusters or files are deffective, is that you might get an invalid/GPF/IPF/or similar error(s) because the money99 executable cannot find other files/directories it depends on for proper operation. HTH

Does this update require Internet Explorer to be installed beforehand? All 98SE2ME options [except option 3] do not require IE, any version, only the one that installs as part of the OS [iE 5.0] when you first installed Windows 98 SE.But option 3 [which installs WinME explorer.exe, shell32.dll, comdlg32.dll, docprop*.dll, webvw.dll and a few others] requires IE 5.5 or newer: http://www.mdgx.com/toy.htm#IEX because WinME files installed by option 3 require it.
