I have fixed KernelEx settings so that RP9 is not impacted by doing a registry restore or I deleted KernelEx Apps and merged back original I am not sure. Either way should produce the same result. It was done as soon as the fault arised though and even then the theme had to be changed temporarily. The icon fault occurred after a KernelEx file setting change. Even at the time I was not sure what the file was, I was probably doing more than one manually as the KernelEx reg settings should not be merged over the top of an already in-place KernelEx Apps registry. If I find out I will say.

The known DLLs in the KernelEx folder will be the same as placing Msvcrt in the system folder and is unnecessary to place it in KernelEx folder as all of my programs have KernelEx involved except Kernel32.dll itself. I have explorer set to DCFG1 so every program loads KernelEx. KernelEx is hooked to Kernel32 so it is the first to load if a module which has a KernelEx mode setting or if following a mode setting of another module. KernelEx known DLLs act like the normal KnownDLLs and modules will load from the KernelEx folder instead of the system. The Known DLLs in KernelEx if there is no renaming is a convenient way to change system files instead of having to go off line. Your KernelEx updates are the same as mine except update Core.ini if you had not already. I know from your update to the website. I am not using KexStubs though. KernelEx Core Updates the MSFN Jumper Topic. https://msfn.org/board/topic/173233-kernelex-45-core-updates-45201617/?do=findComment&comment=1179474 Do not use Explorer as DCFG1 unless you have read above posts in KernelEx Core Updates.

The crash can be looked at in fault log in Windows directory, it could be NvOpenGL.dll See my latest settings in KernelEx Core updates. For single files though that use BASE then BaseNoHeap can also be used. OpenGL.dll is set disabled *\NV*.dll is set as I said but can use BaseNoHeap make sure there is no clashes with different settings in KernelEx Apps registry. Do a search and remove all other NV..... settings as the *\NV*.dll is now doing the settings. Then reboot to try it. Can you please say exactly what you have done as your explanation is not clear. I do not know if you have updated system Msvcrt with BWC's MSVCRT or you have placed it in VLC folder or you have done the BWC's Dx9W2kFx.zip MSVCRT.

Once the icons have changed it is difficult to return to the correct ones this includes the Start button icon. What should be done is to refresh the ShellIconCache and ttfCache by booting into Safe Mode every month. I have done experiments and deleting KernelEx Apps registry and merging one from a drive that has been playing up with the icons and guess what, the merged registry drive did the same thing. I suggest keep RP9 if you have it installed it as all important functioning still works. It is also important to back up the drive while all is well. K24 (the latest KernelEx) is fully compatible with RP9 for me I have several drives that have it running. K24 is the best as it should be remember to update Core.ini manually removing IsProcessorFeaturePresent. If you have a favorite build and RP9 can not be reinstated exactly as designer fully intended, then for a try, KernelEx Apps registry can be deleted then merged back a good one taken from another hard drive and most importantly do not interfere with the good copy. Make sure you have booted into safe mode prior to this on a previous boot and fully delete KernelEx Apps in the registry prior to merging back the good copy. Then you need to go to RP9 config and change themes.

It might be RAM not working properly, try System Monitor on Memory Manager : Page Faults. Expect some but not thousands.

ZaPbUzZ: Everyone will have differing experiences and you had different experience than me. DDR on P3 is not common but there are some, Iwill made it happen. ECS Elitegroup P6S5AT has both SDRAM & DDR but with the same controller there is virtually no difference between performance. I think one type or the other had to be chosen. MSI 6378 was modern compared to the OS. Boards were made with the ISA slot as an added option so no PCI slots were lost and it would only be useful if owning some ISA cards. I thought I was buying new as well but the Chinese supplier lied or was said to be like new. They were inferior to new for sure. The registered memory SDRAM 184 pin or 72 pin was usable even in P11 but sometimes it was not up to scratch to run especially 184 pin in my experience. I had better luck with P4 machines with this. Not all boards run single sided RAM it depends on how the RAM stick is wired that is chips on one side but wired to both would be considered double sided RAM. If the RAM chips are missing, not soldered on one side of the stick then this is single sided. You must have a moderner board than the average P3, is it a dual processor board? 5.1 surround audio card will you share this model that has 98/ME drivers? I found this an information boost https://www.oempcworld.com/support/singlevsdualram.html

>>I asked for a link and a legal way to get access to this file. Yes sorry about that sometimes I do not read whats actually written. Also my router needed powering down MSFN was inaccessible until now. WinWorldPC but there are some old final editions there, but without a valid licence key then it would be OK. Google then select library. I have used 40607.52 but no good unless you go to a lot of trouble and then even had to link directly to FFmpeg files to work, see other posts. There might be few versions in between that I have not found but you can not use any newer version than 40209 due to missing functions. 40209 is essentially the same as 31113. The 40607.16 I will have to investigate but sounds like it will be similar to 40607.52 but will have to see. The earlier ones have their own _getdrives internally. BetaArchive has probably got a wide selection, I am not a member, I tried but did not get email so I did not pursue it any further.

Make sure you follow my instructions though, needs function call redirection. It must have no function call errors test in Dependency Walker as it gets loaded very early and needs to be safe mode friendly. NtClose does not work in KernelEx last time I checked, K23. The Msvcr80 ones are direct system replacements. Because not all plugins in VLC3 work it is best to have 2.05 installed as well because sometimes VLC3 does not start but if you start VLC2 first then exit it then VLC3 will start. BWC's DX wrapper does not work in VLC folder last time I checked and is unnecessary anyway. Sometimes the only difference with later BWC's modules and earlier ones is that the later ones have been signed.

FantasyAcquiesce: My ideas of an upgrade to Msvcrt https://msfn.org/board/topic/173233-kernelex-45-core-updates-45201617/?do=findComment&comment=1171794 you might be the first to confirm it. The wrapper should only be used when required not suitable system swap but the others are. I like Msvcr80 31113 the best. It is strange no-one has said anything this is not a serious old OS help site I am thinking. Deomsh has commented and I replied one page back. KernelEx does not do its wrap if the function is found in the Msvcrt.

@Bruninho: I found that IE6 works real fast on your website, error though but if I turned off DDE it would probably work like Maxthon. @Schwups: Well done. The Rtl in Ntdll are stubs, KernelEx might be able to sort this out. The only thing I do not understand is XUL does not call any NTDLL implicit functions. I tried ImportPatcher on the XUL of 24esr8 no Ntdll.

There is another way is to use X-Setup Pro see image below.

If the card shows boot screen on the IBM compatible and nearly works, I do not think it would have special flash for MAC. Have you tried them on a newer/different machine. If your Pentium 75 machine does the same thing with both cards it still could be the machine. Some drivers drivers do not work properly and I think from memory it is the one that came with WinME that only works but this might have been for a different earlier card. If using 6-2_wme_dd_cp_30314, latest ATI driver, then ATI2CQAG.DL_ has to be replaced with an earlier driver file for all cards. Replacement ATI2CQAG.DL_ is from driver 4.15.1.9163 17/08/2005. ( Day/Month/Year ) If this file is not back dated then the performance will be as you experience. I tried my Rage 128 same as your picture in current machine and the machine pipped through the system board speaker but had no video output. It has been a good card and probably still is in the right machine.

You could try FreeVoice 1.2, free ware, uses MSAGENT as sound reader. Win98 MsAgent files should not be updated though as they do not work. I am using WinME but should be same with 98. The MS Agent files are dated 15/09/98 some are 08/06/2000 which is still WinME files close to release date. All you do is right click copy text then get the Agent to read clip board.

You can do this too and have the nostalgia of 95 but employ some 98 files see here https://msfn.org/board/topic/175486-wpa2-for-windows-9x/?do=findComment&comment=1161913

I believe that the assigning in most modern Windows of some files to use SSE2 and some to not use SSE/2 is fine tuning and we should take note of this. Msasn1 has SSE2 where as Msls31 has not. Msasn1 can be made compatible with BWC's wrapper and BASE & see here https://msfn.org/board/topic/173233-kernelex-45-core-updates-45201617/?do=findComment&comment=1171794

The instance about www.y8.com reported 5 posts up was not the UA and is something to look into. The User Agent of about FireFox 20 range is unusable with CometBird 9 it almost stalls with downloading many web pages (incompatible) but about FireFox 31 UA is good. I have updated the grepreff to fix the rsa_seed_sha to true and made UA Vista FireFox 34 as it is a bit better. No good for MSN as before though, it is very fast and shows page properly but to browse MSN easily original UA should be used or as explained before or use Opera12.

>>not for the web browsing on Win 9x (but it could be used there, with other relevant applications for this topic)... Retrozilla is OK with the TLS update but IE5 with a User Agent perhaps. I made a mistake posting this really.

Just a few points. NTFS cheats and is slower than FAT32. NTFS has ownership rights which are a pain and dangerous when employed to the registry. There is a post I said about Far Cry 1 working which can be still attempted which would be good and has got something to do with disc security or CryTek did not want it to work on 98/ME. (Some other games also claim to be 98/ME compatible but do not work, have I got a system disc protection check problem, I do not know). It is the modern Windows OS's loss that they check the FAT32 drives every boot. NTFS cheats in normal operation as well. I do not like every progression made in Windows for personal home use of which many of us use it for. FILE64 has my vote. FAT32 has hangovers from FAT16 and FAT12 and it would have been nice to have 30 bit file access but we have RLoew's FILE64.

Right, Opera dark theme might have made me think your site had a dark theme and there was a page that had many videos or something in a dark boundary. There might be updates with CSS3 but it still is called CSS3, I do not know exactly but CSS3 was implemented in 2011.

I tried your website because it was not encrypted with IE6 and Maxthon 2.5.18. Maxthon worked but only seemed to show the 3rd party stuff. It was ~ 1300 GMT. IE6 had a script error which is probably because of Msjava too old. No I got the wrong file name, Jscript but mine is not that old. The /#en did not work to convert to English. I am having trouble posting from Opera 12.02 at the moment, so I will try doing a profile back date but why did this happen? > Profile back date fixed this and can post again. I also enabled hardware acceleration which needs a reboot and Ddraw + DCIman32 + D3D9 + Dsound etcetera loaded now with Opera. I also enabled Show Notifications For Widgets and WebGL.

Ktree9 Jan 2013 if that the latest does not include functions of those shown in the other image for DirectX 11 which D2D1 is used in programs mentioned in other posts. Blackwingcat's Msvcrt wrapper (includes _ftol2_sse) does not need to be used, it depends on what files are chosen but BWC's wrapper was shown in 6 posts up. It works if not used to extreme as a replacement for Msvcrt - the memory manager has trouble. The DownlevelLCIDToLocaleName is equivalent to LCIDToLocaleName for instance, so redirecting LCIDToLocaleName to DownlevelLCIDToLocaleName should work. Please consider.

Nlsdl has the missing kernel Dwrite functions. I have read somewhere in MSFN that may have helped to redirect functions to other modules using KEX stubs and core.ini is there instructions?

I do not know but other sites like AOL Yahoo or ESPN New York Times FOXSports they all work with CometBird 9. One thing is the sites are split up into many different sites (possibly ads or other 3rd party sites) where as yours does not appear to do this. Perhaps the data load in one big package is too much, that is, does your site load progressively or in one hit? HTTP:// makes no difference. Also one game site on the CometBird Google home page that displays white; if transversing back with the back return one page button on the navigation tool bar; the page displays for a fraction of a second? This might be because of my FireFox 31 User Agent. No tested it is not the UA. (www.y8.com) I personally like the old style of page where sites had separate packages and background colors could match your system colors. Use old user agent for this on MSN, I have enabled the use of system colors in grepref. There is some attempt with this with modern browsers with the dark theme. Most of the time we are stuck with bright white to backgrounding on more complete page downloads but Bruninho your site is not white of course.

@FantasyAcquiesce: >>what version of KMP Player works on Windows 9x? I have referenced this too many times though https://msfn.org/board/topic/153566-windows-98-as-high-quality-video-player/?do=findComment&comment=1160640 and here https://msfn.org/board/topic/178000-h265-playback-on-win-98-with-vlc-or-mplayerc/?do=findComment&comment=1157157
