Ktree9h and Ktree9 obey the window metrics where as Ktree10 does not. This is the difference at resolution 2560x1440 : - using font size 139%. Picture is of Ktree9h 4.5.2 with no kstubs.

81.89 and 82.16 NVopenGL give similar results to 82.69 when just swapped into the system with the rest of the 82.69 driver left in place. See picture on page 20. NVopenGL is loaded in RAM by the diagnosis program. 77.72 NVIDIA did not show by the diagnosis program, it must have showed results for Microsoft OpenGL32 even though NVopenGL was loaded. So 1.1 was only shown as supported with 12% of vs 1.2. Function calls are appropriate for plugin compatibility for example but not solely a determining factor for the functioning of the DLL.

You need to accept the rather large green rectangle at first time visiting the site then it does not need to be accepted again as it does not appear after that. All writing will be in German I believe. I downloaded it twice using FF52.9 on Vista.

It was just a thought but if you are interested I think MakeHumane will need Python installed. Python from the Python web site, choose 2.7.1 https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-271/ which is the latest one which will install from the MSI. Choose Windows X86 MSI Installer. Then you copy over the files from another installation like XP x86 do not forget Python2.7.dll which will be in System32 and goes in the ME system folder and replace the one in the MakeHumane folder too. I have copied over 2.7.13 but I think the latest 2.7 should work too which is 2.7.18. Apart from that it will need Win2K KernelEx setting and USP10 and I have a later Glu32 than ME original, it might be OK though. I have Blender on BASE setting and it works with menus working but it is not easily learnt and can give a NVopenGl exit error but does exit properly. I have registry config *\NV*.DLL as BASENOHEAP KernelEx setting. The no displaying the Humane character is the video card, Quadro FX5500, it is the only thing that did not work properly yet worked when I swapped monitors as described. Image upload of blender upper right corner with mouse point over the down arrow and top menu item 3D view.

I have presorted it now with all errors fixed, hopefully. The Kstub823.ini is now running right on the limit and if I add another line then KernelEx stops running. I have made it easy for myself and added APPHELP.DLL definition functions redirect from bottom function names up alphabetically sorted till KernelEx stops. APPHELP is file vs 1.1.2599.4 BWC product vs 5.1.2600.5513. SDBAPI is WinME native. Kstub823_1.zip

I have to say that OpenGL 2.01 did not show up as such after removing all NVIDIA files from the system and installing 77.72, it only showed 1.1. After installing 82.16 I got OpenGl 1.1 still and then when installing back over 82.69 back to 82.16 I got 2.01. The 82.16 is the same size as 81.98 and looks similar but definitely not the same. Now either 81.98 and 82.16 are of OpenGl 2.01 standard or only 82.69 is. More checks about it need to be done. I got the Human character to display by hot swapping the monitor then rebooting. There were no exit problems at all but I cannot now get the character to display again, did not hot swap again though.

Did they help? If the message did not bounce then keep trying. We will miss you and you will miss one of your keen interests, so dial the emergency help line now and get help.

It will be supported up to 66% of OpenGL 2.1 extensions though with 82.18 and 82.69. If there is a bad NVopenGL exit problem the program can be left in memory and cannot be terminated as NVopenGL did not release from memory when the program tried to detach (DW terminology). Otherwise there seems a delayed exit and there are no symptoms shown like your instance and the program exits. As well as what Jumper wanted, see if Firefox is still running with Starter or Process Explorer. My take on the NVopenGL is that the cube is very minimalistic and the exit problem could be a hardware issue. It seems NVopenGL needs exercising more. You could try Blender 2.64 or Make Human 1.02 etcetera to see if there is problems with exit there as well. One build of mine does not even display the Human and others work. Blender causes a NVopenGL exit error on that same build and another build does not have any exit trouble at all from Blender but has a python error on starting Make Human 1.02. It is the first time that I encountered a nondisplaying Human although with a non 2.0 card it can be non textured - white. (I am using a newly acquired video card as well as a different PCI SCSI card just recently changed but I think I can rule this out now because of the other builds characteristics).

I thought I had sorted it. Please say if I did it wrong. Thought thought wrong, I forgot to sort some definitions or more likely did not save it to the correct location which also meant the .DLL suffix from 19 entries were not done which would free up some more characters. It would be still nice to know if the MSVCRJ.DLL entries were sorted correctly as it was sorted and it is the most complex. There were some other errors, you need a keen eye so I thought best to update it again now to fix the sorting and errors. I might append to the zip file in time. The original size is 4.6kB. I could not test all redirects but majority are straight forward. The main one of concern is the NtCurrentTeb one as I could not find the Microsoft document page for the NlsMbOemCodePageTag and relied on my memory and it is not proven and is wrong from what I understand now. For reference purposes the NtCurrentTeb routine returns a pointer to the Thread Environment Block (TEB) of the current thread. I have removed it from the zip and the OEM code page tag could be language specific 1252 for western European. My OEM Code Page is 437. https://undocumented.ntinternals.net/index.html?page=UserMode%2FUndocumented Functions%2FNT Objects%2FThread%2FNtCurrentTeb.html has a Certificate error but is an interesting site about the functions. The IPHLPAPI.DLL ones do register fast. I do know of a module that did not register when it should have. the registration stalled. You may not like it but I think it is NtClose that caused it to lock. I have registered some with all function calls known that do register then tried registering a module where the only unknown was the addition of NtClose in an implicit linked DLL and the registration locked up. I know that registering is not the full test but it is a good start.

Yes but it is OK at the moment because you have not extended MSVCRT. There is extended NTDLL to MSVCRT which in my case at the moment will go to MSVCRJ. Yes I intentionally used Safe Mode to eliminate KernelEx to test DllHook as DllHook did not seem to work at runtime and rLoew said it may not be compatible with latest KernelEx. I used MSVCR80 as MSVCRT, booted into Safe Mode then lauched DllHook then started a program that needed time an a few others I had redirected with DllHook. Is LZ32 used because it has the same return values as a stub? It does not add up though if not as those stubbed function calls are not in LZ32 and besides one function call is not stubbed and it does not exist in LZ32.

About Kexstubs and applying to 4.5.2 as well as 4.5.2016.24 and refers to Kstub823.dll and K452stub.dll: There is a limit of about 15000 characters in kexstubs ini. In a just in case scenario this limit is easily exceeded and I would like this limit extended to at least trice this amount. Any file that has an underscore in it can not be redirected so for example, msvcr120_clr0400 has to be renamed like 120clr0400 to be compatible. Redirecting to NTDLL can not be done it does not work. I have redirected MSVCRT to MSVCRJ with registry conventional KnownDlls, not KEX KnownDLLs, so I have only MSVCRJ loaded as MSVCRT and is always the case. This is done so that Kexstubs is compatible. KnownDlls redirection will work in any mapped environmental location, here is an example :- AutoExec.bat SET PATH=C:\ME\JAVA\JDK\bin;C:\=(next environmental variable) If I have Definition named MSVCRT with the same module renamed back to MSVCRT and KnownDLLs MSVCRT redirect deleted, I get a red screen of death :- RSOD is System.ini MessageTextColor=0 MessageBackColor=4. Even though time, the function, is not listed in Ktree it cannot be redirected to in Kstubs. This idea was experimented on because Msvcr80 is acceptable to use in Safe Mode and it would have less redirects in a just in case scenario. Dllhook did not redirect time and others successfully when experimenting in Safe Mode either - it stalled the load from what I remember when directing to CRTDLL. In the Uploaded Kstub823.zip MSVCRJ is 8.0.31113.25 :- it does not cause any problems and has less functions to redirect. TRACEPRT is 5.1.2454.1. RADMIN32 is 3.51.867.1 note that the A has to be added on the end of some Kstub823.ini redirects as I have removed the A in my RADMIN32 to be compatible with some direct redirected modules. CFGMGRNT is CFGMGR32 5.0.1864.1. CRYPTROS is CRYPT32 ROS 2017. This module will work as CRYPT32 buy only with some programs. DNSAPI is 5.12296.1. DNS2KAPI is DNSAPI 5.0.2195.7284. MSVCRG is 7.0.3790.4341 but any MSVCRT that works renamed will do except one redirect will not be available unless Win2K3SP2 MSVCRT is used. MSVCRS is BWC's DLL wrapper msvcrt.dw7, see other posts about it. MSVCRX is 8.0.40607.52. SECUREXT is ROS 0.0.21.0 2002. UXTHEMEBASE see other post about it. Other Definitions are self explanatory or are WinME native. I would like KernelEx to be able to redirect DLL forwarding and many redirects in the upload are of those. I am not sure DLL forwarding redirect with Kstubs is working because DLL forwarding only happens if a module calls for the Dll forward function. I have not seen my Kstub823.ini load Kstub823.dll on a DLL forwarding function. PS It has been a month or so since I have worked on this and I may have forgot some crucial issues about Kstubs. Lesson learnt about logging points and saving ini files as I accidentally saved Kstub823.dll instead of Kstubs823.ini so a more substantive list was lost. Kstub823.zip

Best to be alive and talk about it then rather than die silent about it even if it be a PM. 10yrs to go until you are eligible for the pension. Crazy not being a politically correct word, has that something to do with your contempt of the world of human inhabitance. Perhaps you have done time in a mental facility:- a mental inhospitality center. With about 50% of Romanian population connected to a sewerage system and about 10% of rural population connected to water there is a good chance some people may be used to your situation. The fleas disappearing in winter is strange though as they should still be there. If the fleas are not biting or rarely have a go they may be getting blood from outside from the neighbour's pets? Bird lice infestation is worse than fleas where a tree gets too close to a house in the shade but will depend on if the fleas are biting and you get a disease from them. Keep your phones charged they may be OK for emergency calls or photos. If the battery gets warm/hot on a charge then discharge. If it gets warm/hot on a discharge then charge. https://www.notforsalecampaign.org/romania/ https://www.relieffundforromania.co.uk/partners_romania.html https://m.facebook.com/SOSSateleCopiilor https://www.humedica.org https://www.thesmilesfoundation.org

The fleas coming in summer could mean that wildlife roost either under your house or in the roofing area in winter and leave in summer and they would leave fleas behind if they had them. Squirrels or rodents etcetera and if that be the case you need to mesh out all entry points to under the house. Even when the source of the fleas is removed it will still take a year or 2 for them to all go. You must be near water fresh water to have mosquitos around. With dragonflies, amphibians and other species going extinct due to polluted water the mosquitos could be flourishing. Like you I am baffled what to do except accept help from the the bank account and PayPal idea before your power is cut. Write to these charities straight away www.humedica.org www.thesmilesfoundation.org and any other ones you can find in Romania. Is there anyone you can think of that might help apart for your EX. Your house will not be uncleanable you know. Cat litter is not the worst kind of litter to clean.

Solved: CRT monitor refresh rate drops on games under Windows 98SE
Goodmaneuver replied to Nokiamies's topic in Windows 9x/ME
It is not the plug and play monitor though. Go to update monitor from System Properties and update driver then Specify the location of driver then Select a list of all the drivers then Show all hardware and under Standard monitor types there is Default Monitor and it should be the top one. It was odd for me going back to a CRT and it hurt like you said but a dot going faster from left to right does not mean that it is easier on your eye system. It should be OK as we used them before but Beta particles (β) are high energy, high speed electrons and hitting the steel grid would create X-rays I think. You would have to be within 200mm of the screen though to be effected by it. My skin on my thighs went numb for a long time like months or it may have been a year or 2, it was a long time, after working for several hours bending over the front of a color TV CRT. The CRTs can not be recycled because the residual radiation in the glass. -
Solved: CRT monitor refresh rate drops on games under Windows 98SE
Goodmaneuver replied to Nokiamies's topic in Windows 9x/ME
The game may be choosing optimum or default monitor settings which could be 85Hz or it knows your video card and determines that 85Hz is the highest it can run at. Also the video driver may have different refresh rates for 3D which could be a maximum of 85Hz. You could try updating the monitor driver to a default monitor where there is no restriction in refresh rates and resolutions. It will obey the video driver available settings and those that the monitor can handle. You may just need time for your eyes to adjust to a CRT screen again. Perhaps use 85Hz on the desktop as well. Flicker is best seen when not looking directly at the screen. -
If I lived in Romania I would jump in my car and head to your place to help you out as soon as I knew your address. Did your EX help? The fleas:- How far away is the nearest neighbour? Cats if they are healthy can usually get rid of fleas. I think it their brain power and the way they clean themselves. They will not be able to if inundated with them though. Fleas are a pest and like being in your socks and jump on you. It happen to me once the neighbours moved. It turned out it was the neighbours dog kennel about 6 meters away that had the fleas. You need to get anything that is around your house that could harbour fleas lifting it up and exposing it. As you say it seems nothing can shift them probably because they are coming in from outside. If there was a dog near by I would get rid of the kennel. They will eventually go with no sources of blood around. They can not live on you. The house can be cleaned. Cleaning the house is not that hard, I have a vacuum cleaner that has a shampoo attachment. It would do a good job and once a week then after will get it cleaner and cleaner. You have tank water then a shower will take less water than a bath. I know it is tough to bathe in a frost but a bucket with small holes punched through from bucket being upwards through the base will last a fairly long time. Seek out Smiles the charity they might be proficient who knows, it is worth a try. For a boarder you could say free board for one, only need to provide food for one more, help with house work, and pay for bills.

DrugWash. have you tried bringing in a house guest. There might be some young people starting work who looking for a residence. I might be reading into your last post too much but in case I am not:- There is a scientist's idea of a parallel universe but I bet they are not all in agreeance. If everything was truly backwards - it would be just like forwards and would be a mirror to what we have. If one dies in one universe it is mirrored in the other. Partial backwards as you are implying would not be the same as the the scientific idea I believe. For example walking backwards when your eyes are at the front. The doctor would not have been able to revive you if you were really dead. It depends if you were left disabled and by how much is how grievous you might be, but I can not remember before 3 yrs and you are not mentally impaired nor physically as far as I know. The backwards idea does not compute real well unless you are referring to a twin brought forward from the parallel universe idea. Doppel 2020. I would not think that way, simply put, you did not die. Things may have changed but you have developed very well and have good skills. I like to get answers but sensible ones are not obtainable without enough information or the wrong information. Thinking too much hurts our brains and we need time to repair after.

It is a big deal DrugWash; of all the people dying in this world it does not have to be you at this time in your life if you get some food into you as soon as possible. You are talented with your writings and present your self nobly without error and are are favorite MSFN member of mine. You have achieved much in the world of computing look at your programing the crystal update and the case switch. How far away is the nearest bank? Please seek out a bank on-line that requires a non deposit to set up a bank account. If none, a money order to the nearest post office how does that sound to get you started. You have not created the worlds dystopia so do not hold yourself in low esteem. The world has made it harder for people to get a job or welfare but it would have been a better place if trickle down politics were not in place. I do not want to accept charity either and but I would if I needed it. Cheer up DrugWash do not lose the will to live.

If are under 65 years of age and have no friend or relative to help you then you did the right thing talking here. Do not die starving, accept help if you can get it. You may not be allowed to ask for charity but you can accept gifts. A bank account only need a lew to set up then PayPal can send money to it. It will not cost you any money except to open a bank account.

No everything is OK with 3 controllers I defragged a 20GB drive from the Creative controller. The old secondhand drives especially with DOS OSs do not get the end of the drive written to that much and possibly never. That destroys the drive eventually. The AB-PX5 is not that strong. The 2.5GB was working on the Syncomp it could have stopped spinning but I think it was spinning. Sometimes they stop spinning if not spun enough after storage. Its just one of those things but I believe I can access it on another machine. Often dual processor boards have a strong IDE port. I will send you over a sound card and drive if you want. 95 OS may have been a problem and a little more difficult to correct an installation that has caused a kernel fault. 95 has Creative Sound Blaster 16 AWE driver supplied with the OS. I am sure 98 and know ME is OK. I will check and report back in a few days. Your machine has a strange BIOS for ISA that can have non plug a play devices. I hope your money situation gets better.

I can not find an ESS6869 with IDE but have found ESS6868F https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/164957316021?epid=4030735549&hash=item266838e3b5:g:jv0AAOSwekdg7XMr There are also a few Creative Sound blaster 16 with IDE selling. The price of ISA parts has shot up but I don't think most are that rare. I have a Syncomp V466D that has 3 VESA slots only. I can theoretically use up to 30Gb on the single IDE port. It has not much driving power though and most of my drives that I have create IO errors for the machine. I have a 250MB (original); a 2GB; 4 x 4.3GB and a 10GB drive that work on the Syncomp machine connected straight to the IDE port. It has an IDE detection BIOS function which sets up the HDD to work if it is OK. Otherwise I can go to User and Normal mode for the drive and type in the CHS settings manually then switch to LBA and the settings will still be OK for the drive to boot if LBA is correct for the drive. The size reported in BIOS will not be correct over about 3GB I think but will not matter to functionality. The HDD's have to have sectors that are not hard to write too as the IDE interface has not much power as mentioned. The maximum number of cylinders is 65535; 255 heads and 255 sectors per cluster. I have tested my Creative SB16 on Syncomp and it works though slower than the main board IDE so best to use the sound card IDE port for a CD ROM probably. I used WinME for the test but the onboard TRIO64 graphics reported error 23 which says, 'correct main display and then it will work' but there was no other display hardware. The SB16 creates its own Creative IDE port. It is a bit stronger than the IDE port on the Syncomp main board but not much so some more drives can work on the Creative port. l also have tested SB16 on AB-PX5 which has 2 x IDE main board ports and the Creative port is installed separate and there then are 3 controllers but the SB16 is only a single channel. If the hard drive attached to the SB16 is undetectable because of IO faults then the C: drive is mirrored to the SB drive letter. I had a 2.5GB attached and was E: drive and I copied to E: some data which went to C: as the 2.5GB was not detected properly and was mirroring C:. Placing the 2.5GB on main board IDE on the AB-PX5 machine had an undetectable result. The access speed from the Creative port is much the same as it was on Syncomp and is very slow compared to the AB-PX5 main board IDE. I have manually set PIO mode to 0. UDMA cannot be changed from auto for main board IDE and has the same BIOS interface as the Syncomp for setting up HDDs. Have to say, very week PCI bus for this board.

windows 98 - Explorer- how restore the 'like Web page'?
Goodmaneuver replied to Joaquim's topic in Windows 9x/ME
You mean internet explorer I think. The problem can be created from a number module function failures. Sometimes a third party application will update Oleaut32 to an early WinXP version and this will mean that the script processing will not work. The pie graph script processing is not included into the newer versions. If Msvcrt has not got the old functions in it then this will cause the problem as well. Msvcrt usually has all the old functions in it, it is when we substitute some different modules for Msvcrt is when we may encounter some missing functions. Look for modified system files whether by accident or installed ones. -
I have to emphasize that the devices would not have been installed by the BIOS just yet when I plugged in the cards as it was straight after powering on. I had to think a bit more on what I did way back then and then correct my post. I have some ISA sound cards with IDE. From memory it was either the sound card IDE or the main board IDE but I am not 100% about that. I think I could not get both to work at the same time? Another idea is to use an IDE to SATA plug in card. It implements vs 6 in firmware so that large drives can be used on the old machines. There are 2 designs; one plugs into the main board IDE socket and the other design plugs into the SATA drive. I have talked about it here https://msfn.org/board/topic/180571-hd-ac97-audio-beyond-the-137gb128gib-barrier/?do=findComment&comment=1175057 That is a brilliant idea if it worked and you had no PROM burner.
-
I am sorry to hear that card blew up on you. We tend to remember the bad things better than the good I think. I have plugged in several PCI cards straight after power-up ( though I do not recommend it ) out of desperation to try and get get them working. It worked once but no luck after that; no damaging consequences. The pins would have to line up perfect so none made shorts or are in the wrong position. I know of one person who said that they got a motherboard going by placing in the BIOS chip after power-up.

windows 98 - Explorer- how restore the 'like Web page'?
Goodmaneuver replied to Joaquim's topic in Windows 9x/ME
I do not know any explorer show as a web page. There is right click on desktop area then Web tab then 'show web content on my active desk top' where you can add web pages or photos. It might be a third party app if it is a right click on Start button context menu.
