Correct, those are all the files I was talking about.I haven't tried to replace only those few files [usbui.dll +/- usbhub.sys + dependents], because IMO that may just break the USB functionality. But feel free to try, and if successful, please post your results here. Thanks a lot for your time. Hope this helps. __________________________________________ It's all a trial-and-error game, basically you need newest INF files [for most USB devices], some may work, some may not.USB support implemented in WinME is really primitive, and limited to the devices available on the market at the time of the OS release [2000]. So I wouldn't expect too much, some devices won't probably work no matter what.

This would involve some work + testing with ME system files, eventually modding INF +/- HTA files and probably some registry tweaking. But unfortunately I don't have a scanner or a digital camera, so I can't test this [yet].

Please see this fragment from READ1ST.TXT [found under the "FAQ" section]:READ1ST.TXT Hope this helps.

I can't seem to find the site you mention.Could you email me the link, please? http://www.mdgx.com/form.htm Thanks in advance for your time.

Thanks for making the patch.I'll post it as soon as you send it. Yes, the older Q892313 is superseded by newer 911565. I have removed all links to 892313 from: http://www.mdgx.com/wmp.htm Thanks.

I have removed DEVMGR32.DLL from 98SE2ME.Eck: Thanks a lot for your hard work.

U891711 Patch updated 2-14-2006: When KB891711.EXE starts it registers itself as a Service Process and patches USER.EXE. When a user logs off it stays on as a service process, but unpatches USER.EXE and does not patch USER.EXE again when the same or another user logs on. This means KB891711.EXE no longer provides protection. Therefore KB891711.EXE was updated to build 4.10.2225 to fix this. DrWatson can be used to reproduce this issue and verify that the fix works. It lists USER.EXE as patched if there is protection from KB891711.EXE.Please see top of this topic to download and install updated patch: http://www.msfn.org/board/?showtopic=58780

I have installed QT 2.1.2.59 *both* the 32-bit and the 16-bit versions, and old games [Myst, STNG etc] + old screen savers [After Dark Star Trek, After Dark Star Wars] seem to work ok in 98 SE.Then you can also install newer QT 6.5.2 [i recommend QT alternative 1.55 which installs QT 6.5.2], has completely different files, just don't allow any newer versions to delete older ones during installation. All available QT versions, including unofficial QT alternative [nag + bloat free]: http://www.mdgx.com/toy.htm#MED QT alt home: http://home.hccnet.nl/h.edskes/finalbuilds.htm#quicktimealt To view JPEG/JPG files, I recommend using IrfanView, XNview or PhotoFiltre, all free(ware): http://www.mdgx.com/toy.htm#GRA Hope this helps.

Thanks for your bug report.This is experimental, please try this see if it works, and let me know. Thanks. I have removed these 4 files from 98SE2ME [%windir%\SYSTEM]: DEVMGR32.DLL ENABLE3.DLL HWAGENT.DLL IOSCLASS.DLL 98SE2ME.EXE: http://www.mdgx.com/4 From now on please use the original Win98 SE files from the setup CD, which can be restored by running this batch file: @ECHO OFF EXTRACT/Y D:\WIN98\WIN98_28.CAB DEVMGR32.DLL /L %windir%\SYSTEM EXTRACT/Y D:\WIN98\WIN98_29.CAB ENABLE3.DLL /L %windir%\SYSTEM EXTRACT/Y D:\WIN98\WIN98_30.CAB HWAGENT.DLL /L %windir%\SYSTEM EXTRACT/Y D:\WIN98\WIN98_31.CAB IOSCLASS.DLL /L %windir%\SYSTEM CLS EXITD used as example, must change CD/DVD drive letter if different on your computer. Reboot after running the batch, and then (re)install your video drivers to see if it works. If everything works properly now, no more delays, then please take the time to replace these 4 files 1 at a time back with their WinME counterparts [then reboot after each change], and see which one is the culprit for those freezes/delays. WinME setup CD files locations: EXTRACT/Y D:\WIN9X\WIN_10.CAB DEVMGR32.DLL /L %windir%\SYSTEM EXTRACT/Y D:\WIN9X\WIN_11.CAB ENABLE3.DLL /L %windir%\SYSTEM EXTRACT/Y D:\WIN9X\WIN_11.CAB HWAGENT.DLL /L %windir%\SYSTEM EXTRACT/Y D:\WIN9X\WIN_11.CAB IOSCLASS.DLL /L %windir%\SYSTEM Greatly appreciate your time + concern. Thanks again. Hope this helps.

Sorry mate, 98SE2ME is strictly a Win98SE to WinME "upgrade" pack, not an interface lift/tweak package. To get UI/shell enhancements, alpha blending, transparency etc you want Tihiy's RP:http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=58357 If you have ever read through my 98SE2ME guide: http://www.mdgx.com/98-5.htm#KRM9S you may have noticed that I also recommend a few files from XP SP2 + WMP10 XP as replacements that work with 98SE. But that's as far as 1 can go. NTx OSes are very different, most core files do not work with 9x OSes. If it could have been done otherwise, I'm sure by now some1 would have done it already. Hope this helps. P.S.: To make 9x/ME/2000 desktop look more like "XP/Vista" style, you can d/l + install Ultimate XP Theme: http://www.mdgx.com/bin.htm#UXP

Because of different CRYPT32.DLL builds:- Q329115 = 5.131.2133.6 = newer [but older date 9-12-2002] - Q835732 = 5.131.1880.14 = older [but newer date 1-23-2004] I have used the newer build. P.S.: Have you tested this new CRYPT9X.EXE on your 9x computer(s)? Please let me know if it doesn't work ok. Thanks.

Actually those shortcuts strictly allow people to play those 5 games with other opponents throughout the internet, there is no link/advertising/promo/etc to the MSN gaming zone or any other web site.At least that's what happens when 1 installs 98SE2ME options 1 or 2. The only way you can go to the MSN gaming zone web site is if you click from within each game: Help -> "Game_name on the Web". And I took a look [out of curiosity] at the MSN gaming site, most of those games are either crippled shareware [try-b4-u-buy] or pay-per-game, only few are completely free(ware). The 5 games shortcuts installed by 98SE2ME are 100% free. _______________________________________ To my knowledge there is no MCIQTZ.DLL file in any edition of Win9x/ME or their updates.BTW: DirecX 9.0c installs newest builds of MCIQTZ.DRV + MCIQTZ32.DLL. I guess Marius '95 typed the DLL name without "32" by mistake. He probably meant MCIQTZ32.DLL.

Yes, I know, but if using the XP files the settings are not kept [like chat, sound, etc], you need to reset them [including the starting nag boxes] every time you run those game executables.All settings remain the same way they were set last if using WinME files. BTW: I haven't noticed any faster performance when using the XP files.

BTW:Just in case some don't know yet, VMWare Server Edition is now freeware: http://www.vmware.com/products/server/ Where to d/l: http://www.vmware.com/download/server/ The only catch = they log all customers: Must login with unique ID in order to receive SN: http://www.vmware.com/programs/8/serverbeta.do New customer registration login: http://www.vmware.com/programs/NewCustomerLogin.do See d/l links for both Windows + Linux here [scroll down to or search within the page for VMware Server Beta]: http://www.mdgx.com/xptoy.htm#2KXP Have fun.

Sorry about not being able to install MM properly from wupg98en.exe.I've also tried to do this, but did not work. I'm going to try some more to install MM from WinME CD on 98SE in the near future, and if I succeed, I'll add it to 98SE2ME. I believe [?] MM needs 98SE2ME option 3 already installed. Many thanks for your kind appreciation.

98SE2ME · UPDATED · 2-8-2006 Please see the top of this topic for most recent 98SE2ME update. ____________________________________________ Thanks a lot Marius '95 for noticing this bug.I've also noticed this bug a while back, but didn't pay much attention to it, thought it was due to M$ installing WMP [6.4/7.0/7.1/9.0] to replace MPLAYER.EXE with WMPLAYER.EXE [or MPLAYER2.EXE]. I have also noticed this under XP, no matter if SP1(a) or SP2 are installed or not. P.S.: On my PC with 98SE2ME [option 2] + all updates installed, this IPF error happens no matter which MPLAYER.EXE version I use. WMP 9.0 installed [with WMP9 from XP SP2 "enhancements"]. I have even tried MPLAYER.EXE from Win95B OSR 2.0 setup CD. No go.

Then extract files in respective subdirectories [preserving directory structure] using PowerArchiver or similar tool: http://www.mdgx.com/toy.htm#ZIP Then go to the W subdirectory, open INSTALL.BAT in Notepad, and look at this line: Copy C:\wupg\mm1 %windir%\MovieMaker Then go to the MM1 subdirectory and look at the files there. Hope this helps.

What kind of scripts r u interested in, INF, SED, BAT and/or other kind(s)?

Seems that you have answered your own question. The good: if u have a recent full OS backup from before installing Turbotax, restore from it. The bad: if u don't have a recent full backup, must reinstall OS into same directory. The ugly: if u don't have a Win98 [FE = First Edition or SE = Second Edition] setup CD, u must either borrow or buy 1 in order to reinstall OS. FYI in case u don't know...
