The only difference between the CB9 and FF10 files is that CB9 ones are linked to msvcr90 and FF10 ones are linked to msvcr80. They should work with all FF versions. Or you could try rzbrowser-tls12-20200127.7z ones which are linked to msvcrt. My grepref.js might help. FF3 could really only cache to the HDD up to 100MB or it would get into trouble. I have turned browser cache to the HDD off but the HDD will still be used a lot. I said I upped the size to 1GB that is if it is enabled. The UI can set size which I set 1GB so I did it as default. Forgot I had it disabled. When experimenting the 1GB worked well until it filled up then froze. The extra speed comes from pipelining. Originally pipelining was disabled. Original pipelining settings were OK though and tuning made an improvement but I found someone else's method and I stuck with theirs.

XUL10 or greater are unacceptable as the virtual memory is not being used as mentioned before and if virtual memory is not used, that is the vcache, then the swap file will not get initiated from the vcache. Take for instance with the TLS2 up grade and visit GameFront, all of my RAM gets used up and then the HDD gets used with CometBird9 or 11. I have effectively 1GB of free RAM before CometBird is run. (Total 1.5GB, 200MB is used up on a RAM drive but not in use). If visiting a site you may be lucky first time with CometBird11 but it will soon go to 100% CPU usage and not recover. Once this happens the chances of getting through to the same position in a web site is worse. To speed up XUL9 to be responsive as 11, perhaps 13, is to use XPCOM.dll from FF13, this will speed responsiveness until the HDD is needed. Best to make use MSVCR80 or 90 to match other browser modules. As mentioned on page 8 other SM10 (SeaMonkey) files can be used as well. If you use my grepref.js then this should speed up performance too but I think the browser agent may be causing timing issues with MSN portal. An error page is sent when pages are nearly fully loaded. It is a much more difficult load compared to Opera or IE6. I did not notice any problem happening before nor with original grepref.js. It is the only site that I find that has a problem like this. Just confirmed XP FF31 user agent string possibly a bit ambitious. Does work on most sites including MSN and YouTube but timing is what I think is taken into account at MSN. It seems to fail when skipping thought the servers at speed though, but I think throughput is still what the test is or there is not enough choking - likening to torrent transfers. I have crippled the browser in certain respects but does perform better but my NIC card can only go at 3.7MB / sec so tuning browser will depend on ethernet and internet speed. MSN home page loads fast enough then click on something of interest before package data failure message occurs. (This page is not available at the moment) Using this UA makes MSN portal a much more complex web page with many ads in comparison to older browser settings like Opera12 or IE6. If choosing a moderner OS as UA then even more throughput is expected but web pages can load faster. I tried to make a minimum of buffer and connections to streamline memory usage.

Thank you Roytam1. Original testing done with fully original CometBird11 with all your 11.0-NEW-NSS files. Later testing with my grepref.js + rzbrowser-tls12 + original XUL. The main difference I have discovered about Mozilla 11 compared to Mozilla 9, is that 11 does not use any virtual memory where as 9 does use virtual memory. I say Mozilla is because I have tried FireFox SeaMonkey and CometBird and the XUL behaves with the same effect. I do use your files to upgrade the 9.01 Mozilla browser. I have 1GB of HDD cache set now in the grepref.zip on page 8 this topic. I use WinMe with 500MB of virtual file cache which I believe is the commit charge but I need correcting if wrong. When a fairly complex page is loaded with XUL 9, the commit charge is increased toward 100%/500MB then the HDD is being worked then when the page is finished loading, the Commit Charge, (from process explorer v10.2), then drops to zero. With XUL 11 there is no commit charge used and if web page does not change ie no ads for example, then Mozilla 11 can work and your set of files do work the TLS1.2 sites but after a period of time with XUL 11 (and as mentioned dynamic sites I think), the processor goes 100% and does not recover. Your XUL mod does stop the error in PLDS4.dll - (in my case). I have overcome this error before but the solution eludes me at the moment, it was a choice of file. If using original XUL 11, the complete swap of your upgraded rzbrowser-tls12 files work but with expected XUL 11 behavior as mentioned. Is there an advantage with the v26 files over v21.4? The NSS file versions you have of v49 work CometBird 9 but the URLs do not attempt to load. The 11 new NSS files as a whole unit excluding XUL do not work with CometBird 9.

Your correct about BitComet but it is interesting my Wiki did not say developed by BitComet developers. If I type in "CometBird is developed by BitComet developers" it does bring up the info in a Google shortcut. Certainly developed in China.

France is my guess. The Google home page I think is what you are referring to. It could be differently presented to different country participants. Their forum is similar to MSFN's.

The sunken capacitor. If it shaped like an "I" it is an inductor. Do not touch it, it should have a low resistance.

Wiki sites load flash plugin which crashes browsers so I will remove flash plugin for now. Correction, I think I just did not remove all the utility files not sure yet. Wiki plays WebM 480p from within the Opera 12 browser and not loading Flash. I mentioned AdvrCntr.dll as having a reg setting of Single but I think this is causing problems. To assign a threading model of Free then a library must look after itself to unload and must have these two functions; DllGetClassObject & DllCanUnloadNow. Thank you Jumper for including ACM files in KEX, as an initial test I have disabled MSGSM32.acm that can cause an exiting problem.

I seemed to fix the exiting error with Wizardry8 see here for more info https://msfn.org/board/topic/173233-kernelex-45-core-updates-45201617/?do=findComment&comment=1177977

Full width view is not working with Opera 12.02 see my other post here here. It would be good to have it back to full width again.

Does everyone experience a 600 pixel wide view when viewing MSFN forum now with Opera 12.02 or is it just me. I post with a full width screen and view my profile with full screen width with desktop mode 1920 x 1080. Users can choose their window width and text size to what suits but not now.

I have fixed the Wizardry8 DDRAW.dll exit race to unload problem by disabling KEX on DDRAW.dll and using ThreadingModel Free in Registry InprocServer32 CLSID locations. With modules requiring a KEX setting though, setting threading model other than Apartment or Both, the appropriate module will not load. Single should be OK but have not tested only ADVRCNTR.dll from Ahead Nero is using this setting. JAR.exe archiver guard pages problem from https://msfn.org/board/topic/173233-kernelex-45-core-updates-45201617/?do=findComment&comment=1159232 has not occurred since KEX24 I believe.

BIOS settings under Shadow Configuration page 65 of Cubx manual for video BIOS shadowing. I can not help if you do not answer my questions.

Asus Cubx-e Rev. 1.01 is not native 133 FSB. This is not acceptable for Tualatin IMO. The CPU seller has not got 440BX as a recommended chip. Have you tried setting to 100MHz FSB or lower? A faster moderner Northbridge often has more sensitive inputting. ASUS CUSL2 motherboard i815E Northbridge I used with the CPU adapter and this works but this board only can work with 512MB of RAM. 768MB would sometimes get to boot screen with the best RAM sticks I had but was unusable. It is best to use a more modern board than Cubx although it is not worth pursuing unless board is inexpensive. There is usually no trouble to get Win98 working with early PCI Express graphic ported boards. How have you got your SSD drive attached? Have you tried setting IDE speed say to PIO mode 1 and DMA mode 1? The sunken capacitor; perhaps someone has pushed in a bulging one and should be replaced. Always replace Caps from CPU outwards and better caps will tend to lower the CPU voltage slightly due to less ESR producing a less noisy output but depends on switch mode's feedback control so test board again in a sequential manner after replacement. A capacitor with lower ESR can stop CMOS from toggling its output further away from supply sources as it acts as increasing the voltage a little. Be very careful of solder splatter and check thoroughly before powering up. If board works properly as designed then there is no need to change the caps too much as a working board may not boot after a long time left unused if cap changes were done unnecessarily. Unless the BIOS update has major improves like RAM control I doubt that flashing BIOS would help. There are sometimes pre-flashed chips available just ready to plug in and therefore easy to go back to original BIOS. Sometimes to squeeze in a more modern feature a BIOS update can make other compromises that may make other ports less likely to function.

Microsoft Installer update and Usp10.dll, Uniscribe Script Processor, should be included in the SP-3.64. Psapi.dll is obtained from within top post on page 9 of this topic.

I have discovered that it is the timing issue on exit that causes a problem and therefore KEX24 is not at fault. I have tested Flash ActiveX on Internet Explorer with this site without problems & without exiting problems. http://www.wickham43.net/flashvideo.php . This site link is a Wickham's HTML & CSS tutorial. When testing on this site with Flash Mozilla/Opera plugin there is no exiting error as I talked about in previous post. It may be marginal in Opera though and still have tab/page exiting problem. FLASHUTIL32_23_0_0_207_PLUGIN.EXE and earlier versions have errors in KEX so I delete this file and FlashPlayerUpdateService.exe in case an auto update occurs.

Bruninho :- Have you unicows and USP10 and psapi and MSI and DirectX update installed? Check Opera crash report in Temp folder. When crashes if cannot remove the last loaded page in time, the start without any plugins or pages loaded second option is the way to go. Also a Windows restart may fix it. I do not need to restart Windows anymore though. Also opera has to exit fully before restarting so if restart menu pops up after a crash then close the restart window to allow Opera to exit then start Opera. As mentioned elsewhere Flash pages will crash with latest KEX if flash plugin is installed. Did you install Opera_1100_int_Setup.msi and try that before updating to 12.02. I have given more instructions here https://msfn.org/board/topic/178283-how-you-really-browse-the-web-on-98me-in-2019/?do=findComment&comment=1162500 The plugins load if media is to be played so make sure DirectX is working.

Your program error is very similar to mine. I think my CometBird ApiLog gives the best report. Created when opening the Flash test page. The Flash & Opera.zip was created while profiling in Depends and opening the Flash test page. The Opera crash report did not contain any NPSWF32_22_0_0_209.dll string so I did not include it but I could if you want. When testing Browser Audit with Win7 latest Opera & Flash32 it says skipped tests because "The web browser is blocking the Flash Player plugin on this web page." First time I tried Browser Audit : - after I installed Flash on Win7, it would not progress to testing like the 4.5.2 test I did on WinME. With my system, WinWord97 may be best suited with Basen other than what was stated before. If set Disabled or Min then it says when saving that there is not enough memory available. I rename Flash32_23_0_0_207.ocx after installing flashplayer23_0r0_207_winax.msi to flash.ocx and registering so that early flash is compatible. Flash screen saver tested this way and OK. The standalone player flashplayer23_0r0_207_win_sa.exe works although a timing issue when exiting occurs. I have *\FLASH*.* set to DCFG1. CometBird Flash.zip Flash & Opera.zip

I know that Flash is being phased out in the Web but Amazon Prime can still be configured to use Flash according to Web advice. If flash is installed it crashes Opera 12.02 when Flash is being loaded and in Mozilla it creates an error in the Flash plugin or Kernel32. I have tried several Flash versions from 11.1 to 23.0: - same result. Here is a test page https://www.dhs.state.il.us/accessibility/tests/flash/video.html. If testing with BrowserAudit.com with Mozilla the error is reported in Kernel32. I have not gone back step by step in KEX versions just yet but have tested with 4.5.2 on the test page and OK though Browser Audit prepares but does not start the test. BrowserAudit.com test is OK with Flash not installed.

You can use a screen capture program like Ace - WinScreen. When saving text it is best to save to a PNG file as it removes all unused colors and is MSFN friendly.

I do not know much about Win95 but if it is similar to WinME then the default connection has probably switched to the network card. Run home networking wizard to what you require again. Home networking shortcut for WinME points to NetConn.exe but Win95 may be different like MsnSetup.exe. Make sure your modem is still installed in Device Manager and Dial-Up Networking. If there is too many devices installed in networking than this can create a problem so remove some old unused network cards using Network control panel. The device itself along with its corresponding TCP/IP has to be removed. Having too many devices stopped the network login. I personally think that your topic title has nothing wrong with it.

In DOS mode I think that the video diver will not be running. One of our members has designed a standard graphics driver that is 1024 x 768 and 256 colors. I apologize that I can not find their post. When a DOS program is running in Windows the program is displayed in the task bar. If you right click the program in the task bar and select properties then screen, the program can be run in full screen or windowed. In windowed mode the DOS window can be stretched to 960 in my system. The aspect ratio is about 3 x 2 though. In PicView the system information F4 key :- see image.

If you have an older wireless router that allows a compatible protocol that can be cable connected to the new router then you can log in to the older router and go through the new router to the WWW. You can also use a wireless bridge/repeater. A third party designed one is cheaper, I have used VAP11G from Vonets, says "Note:VAP11G-300" in fine print afterwards. It plugs into your Win98/ME RJ45 and this way connects your Win98/ME via a router to the WWW. It will have its own SSID and use same key as router and might give you extended wireless range if needed by using its SSID via wireless on another computer. It gives RJ45 configuration login password and user ID on back of device. See http://www.vonets.com/download/VAR5G/VONETS Series Product Instruction Guide.pdf for more info.

You must have less than 2GB of RAM when running pure ME. I am running ME with 1.5GB at the moment but any size under 2GB is OK. I have used 1GB + 500MB + 256MB + 128MB in 4 RAM slots and all was good.

Siria: I use Paragon Partition Manager 5.6, package vs 6.0, I think it is free I got mine from a magazine, are you sure you do not understand this https://msfn.org/board/topic/180571-hd-ac97-audio-beyond-the-137gb128gib-barrier/?do=findComment&comment=1174759 .The Win98 tools should work when KEX set disabled on the Exe. Programs are launched under Explorer.exe and if KEX is unset on the program then the program is launched under what setting Explorer has. If Explorer is set disabled, (I have not tried this setting) then the programs should launch KEX disabled. I run Explorer with legacy base enhancements at the moment, if the programs were 16 bit then try to disable their implicit 32 bit load modules IMO.

I have talked some here https://msfn.org/board/topic/180571-hd-ac97-audio-beyond-the-137gb128gib-barrier/?do=findComment&comment=1174759 it is free software.
