Probably all of them [in theory], because as far as I know none of the files updated by the unofficial patches replace Tihiy's RP files. But I haven't experimented this yet. Tihiy may have more details about this subject. Hope this helps.

You are probably refering to the older U891711 patch files, that were included with Gape's SP2 2.1a. Please try the new ones: http://www.msfn.org/board/?showtopic=58780 Gape knows about the new versions, and will probably include the new ones in the next SP2 release. Please post your comments/feedback about U891711 patch in this forum: http://www.msfn.org/board/?showtopic=58780 Hope this helps.

...and more importantly... I'm not shutting down a system that has had over 3 months of uptime so far just to replace a few files for protection against a supposedly "critical" vulnerability, but also cause resource leaks in the process.Here is the answer from the author of the GDI + WMF patch: From now on please post any comments/feedback regarding Windows 98 SE/ME patches in this forum: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=46581 This way I can read all posts and answer accordingly. Thanks for your time. Hope this helps.

Anything wrong with the 77.72 drivers that I'm unaware of ?Please see this post:http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?s=&sho...ndpost&p=345887 Hope this helps.

FYI: You probably installed 98SE2ME [if using Win98 SE] and/or one of Petr's UPDATE.SYS fixes: - WinME fix: http://www.mdgx.com/web.htm#MEU - Win98 SE fix: http://www.mdgx.com/web.htm#9SU 98SE2ME [options 1 + 2] also installs newer sysdm.cpl from WinME hotfix: which I modded to display "Windows 98 Sesond Edition" instead of "Windows Millennium Edition" in System Properties control panel applet.System Properties CPL without any updates: http://www.mdgx.com/ver95.gif Hope this helps.

Bethrezen: If you determine that your lockup is caused by U891711, please post your feedback in the U891711 forum: http://www.msfn.org/board/?showtopic=58780 More details about these patches: http://www.mdgx.com/files/U891711.TXT Hope this helps.

I posted something related to this subject here:http://www.msfn.org/board/?s=&showtopic=65...ndpost&p=447938

DISPEX.DLL 5.6.0.6626 is also included in [English]:- MSE 5.6 build 5.6.0.8825 for Windows 98/NT4/ME [665 KB]: http://download.microsoft.com/download/4/c...c1c/scr56en.exe - MSE 5.6 build 5.6.0.6626 for Windows 95/OSR1/OSR2 [716 KB]: http://download.microsoft.com/download/win...-US/scr56en.exe Hope this helps.

That would be very easy, but requires NT4 SP5 or newer and MS IE 5/6 already installed.I'll make one in the next few days. Bummer, that's a big bug. Did you try to send MS feedback about it? Maybe they can correct the INF scripts. [?]

I thought of using INF and/or VBS scripts [i have no programming knowledge, any help from you guys is always appreciated], but that would require a major rewrite, and unfortunately I don't have as much time as I need to do this. Maybe 1 day...BTW: Yelling never helps. But feedback does. I have checked option 2 files list against XP SP2 files list: http://www.mdgx.com/98-5.htm#XP and cabinet.dll is the only 1 that needed to be removed from option 2, because the 1 installed by XP SP2 is newer. EXTRAC32.EXE 5.2.3790.0 installed by 98SE2ME [all options] is newer than XP SP2, because it is from 2003 Server setup CD. As you well know, I've spent 1 year [since 1-20-2005 when I started this] creating + improving 98SE2ME, but like everybody else, I'm not perfect, therefore 98SE2ME cannot be [especially because of the nature of this particular project] perfect, there will always be some kind of flaw, error, bug etc... And that's why I opened up this forum, to get feedback from as many as possible testers [thank you guys!]. IMHO that's the only way this project can be improved. Therefore please keep sending your feedback, it is always welcome and valuable, because this way I can correct whatever errors/bugs/flaws/etc I fail to catch on my own. Hope this helps. ____________________________________ I'm afraid you need to post more details about what exactly you want 98SE2ME to do.In case this is what you want... please see the "FAQ" chapter from READ1ST.TXT: READ1ST.TXT Here's a fragment: Hope this helps.

The unofficial IE Q896688 patch was created by a concerned user, it is not official from Microsoft, therefore I cannot update it whenever MS updates their official IE cumulative patch.But recently I have received the newer unofficial IE905915 patch from the author, and I'll post it as soon as I can at my site. Hope this helps. I have reproduced the error you mention when trying to install MSASN1.DLL from Q828028.After reboot, all I have in %windir%\system is MSASN1.QFE [the newer build 5.00.2195.6905 from Gape's SP2] and no DLL. I had to rename it back to MSASN1.DLL to make it work. Therefore I have added a warning: * Microsoft Windows 98/98 SE MSASN1.DLL build 5.00.2195.6824 Security Vulnerability Fix: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/...n/ms04-007.mspx Direct download [166 KB, English]: http://www.mdgx.com/files/Q828028.EXE More info: http://erpman1.tripod.com/current/asn1fix.html Do NOT install this Fix IF already installed Unofficial Windows 98 SE SP2: http://exuberant.ms11.net/98sesp.html which installs newer MSASN1.DLL build 5.00.2195.6905! Hope this helps.

Actually, I just tried 81.98 on another Windows 98 SE computer, and it does lock up whenever FastReboot is enabled. Also locks up when trying to restart Windows after exiting to native MS-DOS by typing WIN and pressing Enter. So I had to revert back to older 71.84 , which so far is bug free.

I have updated the WinME GDI patch installation instructions:http://www.mdgx.com/web.htm#MEU The patch author date-stamped the GDI files for Win98 SE. I do not know the reason why. Hope this helps.

I will ask.BTW: This fix is also available here: http://ftp.isu.edu.tw/pub/CPatch/msupdate/.../289635usa8.exe Done. MSASN1.DLL Q828028 fix is not by me, it was obtained by Petr from Microsoft.I am aware that it is older than MSASN1.DLL from Gape's SP2 2.1a, but Q828028 is the only one available for separate install. Please notice that all patches at my site which start with Microsoft are official patches from MS. Similarly, all patches at my site which start with Unofficial are unofficial patches by me or by others. Hope this helps.

Thanks for noticing.I have removed WinME CABINET.DLL from 98SE2ME. Please download the updated file: http://www.mdgx.com/4 Details: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=46349 Hope this helps.

Petr That's a personal note from the author of the patch. But the author told me to post this patch without asking for beta testing, because... Hope this helps.

Please see top of this topic to download and install updated patch:http://www.msfn.org/board/?showtopic=58780 It is bad that there are two different KB891711.EXE 4.10.2224 files with the same size and date. Petr I thought of that too, but I tested the updated patch with the newer file and installed it over the older one, and installed ok under Win98 SE + ME.Hope this helps.
