  1. You may have to wait a while, I do believe that Tihiy is currently on holiday (vacation). B.T.W, welcome to the forum.
  2. http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=45359&st=10 Scroll down to the post by WebMatze. http://www.webmatze.tk
  3. How narrow minded can you get?. Do you truly believe that the entire world should learn English (or rather your American dialect), because you think their own languages are 2nd or 3rd class?. Its just that kind of 'superior than thou' attitude that convinces some, that people from the US are an arrogant bunch (though im sure this is not generally the case).
  4. Can we have a download page that links to all the software that is scattered about this forum?. It must be better than the current setup, where all the links are buried in the threads.
  5. Are USB "type" harddrives affected by this limit?.
  6. I to have a harddrive bigger than 137GB (mines FAT32 format though), but I dont think the actual drive size is the problem, rather the amount of data thats on it. What happens when the drive fills beyond 137GB?.
  7. Windows 98 should have no problems with a wireless setup, however there is a fair possibility that an older machine (depends on how old) will not be able to handle the wireless hardware. I have tried wireless cards on a few older pc's and a number of them failed to even boot because the wifi card spec is to high for the motherboard.

  9. Oops!, sorry I meant Dotnetfx (I think I should turn this PC off for a while & get some rest!)
  10. Can anyone tell me what files/windows updates are needed to add to a clean install of windows 98se, so that DotNet 1.1 will install successfully. At the moment I keep getting an error and I cant remember what files I added to windows the last time, in order to get it to install. Thanks in advance.

  12. http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=38059 NUSB driver from the Maximus decim package worked for me The way I did it is as follows: Clean install os, update mobo drivers & usb 2.0 card drivers. Install the Maximus decim update and then reboot into safe mode & remove the usb storage device. After rebooting and windows installing the new drivers, I installed Gapes SP.
  13. Choices, choices, choices....................... You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can't please ALL of the people ALL of the time. So my dear departed Mum would say

  15. When installing the hotfixes (ONLY), the file ufd.inf gets installed also. When windows looks for suitable drivers for the external drive, this is what it decides is the best. If I remove this file windows then settles for the drivers that came with the device. All goes well (even the drive gets seen this time) but when the drivers are installed I get a BSOD message regarding vxd usbstor (01) .
  16. No luck , the result is exactly the same. Even selecting the hotfixes only, windows still looks for drivers for a "usb mass storage driver" first, and after the drivers are installed a "usb mass storage device" is detected, then a reboot is required. When the system updates the drivers for the "mass storage driver" it is looking for UFD.CAB, which as you know is in the SP. After the reboot my system always hang a few times either at the drive detection stage or during the windows 98 boot splash .
  17. Thankyou for your reply Gape. 1. I've tried every combination of - device drivers installed/not installed, device plugged in/not plugged in etc, but the result is always the same - windows detects a "usb mass storage device" before the SP installation, and I then have to manually install drivers for a "storage device" (1394usb). After the SP I plug in the device and again windows detects something but this time it first looks for an updated driver for a "usb mass storage driver", then it detects a "usb mass storage device", after which everything appears ok in device manager except there is no drive listed. I can't find the file "NTMAPHLP.sys either in an installed system or in any CAB file on the windows disk. do you mean "NTMAPHLP.PDR" , if not could you please tell me exactly where it is?. Hardware info: Intel pentium MMX @ 200MHz bus type ISA + PCI (v2.10) Motherboard SOWAResearch SR-M504 Intel 82430VX Triton II chipset 128 MB ram Award modular bios V4.51PG (01/07/01) Bios update via esupport.com
  18. I've now tried this with another usb device (a proper enclosure this time) and the problem remains. I am fairly convinced that the problem is with one of the hot-fixes (after all, if I dont install em - I dont get the problem) but if there are people out there who have successfully installed the SP and have an external usb 2.0 hard-drive working then please come forward and say so!!. Horsecharles: many thanks for all your ideas. Gape: can you offer any suggestions?.
  19. Ok, this is starting to get extremely frustrating . Starting from a fresh install of windows, I have updated the Intel chipset drivers and the (Belkin) usb 2.0 PCI card drivers. The motherboard does not have any usb ports itself, but it is able to. From the SP, I install ONLY the hotfixes and then reboot. When I switch on my usb device, windows detects it and starts the driver wizard. First it detects a USB 2.0 device and then informs me that its looking for updated drivers for "USB mass storage driver". Next I am asked to insert the disk "USB mass storage driver", and after pointing it in the direction of the SP files it detects a usb mass storage device and then quickly changes to "reboot for changes to take effect" screen. After rebooting, device manager shows a "USB mass storage driver and a USB mass device", but there is nothing in explorer .
  20. Is it possible that I can install all the hotfixes in the sp except the usb ones??, if so how???.
  21. This is definately a "noname" product, there is no fcc id/serial number or any other type of id on it. I bought it on e-bay for the sum of 3GBP (the [postage was 6GBP - just to give you an idea of how cheap this is) from a seller in Hong Kong. I dont quite understand this, the device clearly worked before I installed the hotfixes from the service-pack, but after the installation the device is gone. Surely the supplied drivers that I have tried must be compatible or I wouldn't be able to get them working in the first instance. http://www.jetechworld.com/ideusbadapter/ideusbadapter.jpg
  22. The external drive is simply a usb to ide cable and a power supply, a cheap noname from HongKong. I've updated the boards intel chipset drivers and also the Belkin 2 port usb pci card, but still the problem remains. When installed it shows up as a 1394/usb storage device.
  23. Ok, the problems occur when the "hotfix" part of the se sp is installed, all the other options install without any glitches.
