  1. Sorry for not reading properly. It looks like the INI file in the windows inf folder has to be updated as well. In my case %WinDir%\INF\Other\ATI Tech - EnhancedC7_30314.ini for the X850. Once the INI and INF files are ready I would not allow installation from the compressed catalyst install directory. I would tell windows to find files in the inf\other system and system32\drivers folders. You can uncompressed files, expand them yourself. eg expand C:\ATI\ati2evxx.dl_ C:\ATI\ati2evxx.dll  .I still run ATIPTA and ATIPOLL (starting up) always when using nVidia cards as I  have trouble otherwise.

    About nVidia drivers, the 81.98 did not work on standard PCI cards (hardware configuration wrong) but 77.72 did work these cards. 82.69 from "Win9xForever" does work these PCI cards I think but I do not run NVSVC from this driver.

  2. @CamTron; @ABCDEFG; I was talking nVidia, my error. Yes the ATI card drivers do not have this resolution, you can temporary manually up date the registry but when you install a new card then it will be overwritten. I fluked the manual registry update, I could not emulate it. I like ABCDEFGs' idea of updating the inf,  I tried a similar thing myself but failed. There sometimes are several infs that 6.2 can use, and when installing make sure that it is choosing the one you have altered. Also be sure to update both infs. the one/s in the %WinDir%\inf and the one where the catalyst install directory is. 

    Some manufacturers put some of their driver files into the windows install directory (options install), ATI All in Wonder did this and it caused installation problems afterwards, so I put the install cabs in a different directory. I have to tell windows were the install cabs are when it requires them but that is OK by me. AIW: ATI really put their best chips in these.

  3. @jumper; Can we utilize radmin32 ansi library for all the ntdll and advapi32 functions that it has, it would enable the use of a wide range of new libraries. Can we redirect DelayLoadFalureHook to shlwapi IE6 SP1. The KnownDll list, not all are fully compatible but may be of use.

    msvcr80 vs 8.0.31113.25 or 8.40209.38 are a fully functional replacement for msvcrt and only have _ctype missing from the 6.1.9848 msvcrt. They share the same memory base as Kexbasen and either Kexbasen or Msvcrt need to be relocated in memory as a consequence. 07D000000 can Kexbasen be shifted up a bit? Update (There are more functions that are missing but they seem not to be used. For the record I have uploaded the official differences comparing 3 Msvcrt substitutes : - output.csv - in the knowndlls.zip).

    Divx Player 7.2 or later vs calls for an ANSI function when viewed in depends but when run using kernelex2016.17 calls a Unicode function in advapi32 (which is there) but it does not run.

  4. @XPocalypse Survivor: You could try the monitor drivers from WinMEs' precopy1.cab I have no trouble with selecting 1440x900. HKR; Handle Key Relative to what's specified in the inf. If you open regedit then all registry sections start with HKEY which is Handle Key. Curious your signature; did you motherboard get better or gradually worse? Mine just started it AMD, when using nVidia AGP.

  5. I use "media info" Win9x version of the exe is of 7/2009 but you can run with a later Mediainfo.dll, I use 0.7.78 (2015). The frame rate is important of course and HD could be down near 20 hertz. Photoworxx bench on my ME system, core2duo 3.3Ghz E8600 was over 9000 which is real good. At the moment one of my boards just had problems and I have gone back to P4 2.8Ghz single core which has got CPU Queen bench of 2700. I know I can play HD on the core2duo and AMD 2.4Ghz dual core but not sure about your frame size whether they would, nearly have scores double the 2.8 single core. I will have to rig up again. CPU limiting on VLC audio will be in sync but if CPU limited on KMplayer the video will lag behind the audio but not always the case.

    Some hardware will run / boot faster with 32bit and depends on OS compared to 64bit.

  6. I know there is an IE5 SP4 available, a security rollup for 2K 2015 I think. It was next to an update that had a Gabest mpeg2 decoder filter update.

    The Google server stopped IE6 not long after the "poodle" attack on eBay, Sept 2014. I had to manually turn off SSL when trying to brows eBay after the "poodle" attack for a while. Google has not stopped IE5 as other members have proclaimed. I wonder if 5.5 SP2 works? (I would make an external 1:1 drive copy before experimenting though as it may be difficult to get these settings back?). IE5.5 would have limited use unless the OS encryption could be updated to 256bit. Having said that, YouTube was using 128bit security last time I checked. It would not be sensible though to mis out on functionality in other areas because Google blocked IE6.
     

  7. @Nomen; I slightly misread your question (tired). Sounds like the file is damaged have you lost it on your camera? The question is, is 5MB correct for a 25s clip?  If it is, it does not mean that the file is all there. A partial downloaded file will play if it is streamable. I must have partially copied, years ago, an 8GB video from one drive to another that only played first 10%, the copied file size was 8GB. I wonder if this happened because NTFS preallocated the file size?

  8. Before I change a video card I update to a Standard Graphics Adapter first. This is to avoid hardware configuration differences between cards. If you can not update to a Standard Graphics Adapter then after the driver is installed do not reboot, progress into windows and then in device manager update driver to the Standard Graphics. Then reboot and update to the driver you want from device manager once working as the Standard Adapter. If you have installed driver prior with problems the configuration errors as I was talking about then safe mode uninstall the offending graphics card or you could use scanreg /restore (starting from within the "Command" directory), to go back in time depending if the device was just installed. 

    "Universal Vesa Drivers" are helpful does not have 3D acceleration but has mini port drivers for any card. It has not let me down yet, works good. You could test your monitors compatibility at different resolutions?

  9. I found that my monitor would do as you proclaim 1280 x 768 was fine though and 1920 x 1080 was working but in between had sync problems. My big screen TV will not sync at all, it momentarily goes blank then says no signal, so it is close to working but doesn't. Plugging in another monitor and it is fine on 1920 x 1080. You might be able to try 1920 x 1080 on your monitor?

    If your monitor is not syncing at higher resolutions with a nVidia card, then go into nVidia display panel menu to the nView Display Settings; Device Settings; Device Adjustments; and select "Display adapter scaling", before adjusting up the resolution. If it is already selected then try selecting "Monitor scaling", but I have to select "Display adapter scaling" every time I install a nVidia card.

    If anyone has got a new AGP AMD video card, any later than X850, needed the reverse side AGP interface "ralo" (not sure of its name now) chip heatsinked. This is necessary to prevent motherboard damage and of course the "ralo" chip from destroying itself. I have glued a strip of 3 x 25 mm copper on mine, onto some plastic packers to keep the correct parallelity, full length of board, painted black.

     

     

  10. KernelEX 4.5.2 is what I mean. I thought that kernelEX 4.5.1 was 11 and 4.5.2 was 12. I will edit my post. I have swapped some system files and added some. I had planned to post about it. For instance Crypt32.dll from whistler 5.1.2296.1 is helpful, it has all original functions plus some more. Ordinals 1003 to 1011 are forwarders to Advapi32. They are Reg Key functions of which Advapi32 has all except RegOpenKeyW. These functions would not usually be calling Crypt32. Main upgrade is the msvcrt though. When using VLC3, do not change skins, only use native style. Some custom skins have trouble, not only with win9x, when they were supposed to be compatible.

  11. VLC3 should play H265 perhaps convert a file for a trial to a smaller resolution.

    VLC3 will play on winME, use msvcr80.dll from framework 2.0.31113 as msvcrt.dll substitute supplied with Longhorn 4074. It has not got _ctype import but neither did msvcr70 . Need KernelEx 4.5.2 (final) and CheckRemoteDebuggerPresent function in the GUI libqt_plugin needs to import IsDebuggerPresent. Not all plugins are working though, unlike VLC2.05. Icecast does not work and manual file open of DVD ifo required but H265 plays.

    Using KernelEx 2015v8 then the Lav filters can work. The KMplayer 4.0.4.6 works need KernelEx (winXP setting) 2015v12 or greater for GetSystemTimes redirected to GetSystemTime. There will be other programs, I am still to find out. Kernelex2016 prevents VLC3 from operating until KEX22.<EDIT

    msvcr80.dll ver 8.0.31113.25 will get some programs running eg Miro video converter v3 with 2k KernelEx settings.

  12. Latest Opera browser works well on oldapps.com, downloads good, but latest FireFox does not download from OldApps.com nor does IE11.

    oldversion.com en.uptodown.com afterdawn.com orbitaldownloads.com filepuma.com there are many that offer previous versions
