From 7 Zip--
"
Why can't 7-Zip open some ZIP archives?
In 99% of these cases it means that the archive contains incorrect headers. ZIP archives contain two copies of headers. 7-Zip reads both copies and won't open archives with incorrect data in the headers. Other ZIP programs can open some archives with incorrect headers, since these programs usually read only one copy of the headers, or they just ignore errors.
If you have such archive, please don't call the 7-Zip developers about it. Instead try to find the program that was used to create the archive and inform the developers of that program that their software is not ZIP-compatible.
There is now also an extension to the ZIP format for strong encryption (AES) support. The next version of 7-Zip will support it. You can try the AES feature in the latest beta version of 7-Zip."
But can't find what "AES" is , and where access to it is in the latest beta version ?

Can't open any of your files on rapidshare.com with 7-Zip (*.7z) ?

Thanks everyone.
I'd be interested to see the translated pages too please eidenk.
[EDIT] Oh, you've posted tham!
BTW, I eventually opened your .7z file with WinRAR.
As you say, it's strange that WinZip won't cope with it, but I have found a few other compreesed archive formats which only open with WinZip and not WinRAR, and vice versa......
Funny, I can't open it with 7zip ?

I think something is wrong witj the downloaded file -- try twice both files won't open.

Okay, it was IE6 problem -- reinstalled browser and that fix the Flash problem. Seems funny that this was the only site with this problem that I could find, it must have been some setting it was looking for in the register that was missing or set wrong? --Charlie

Must be something to do with IE6 (or what ever version it thinks its seeing from the register)!
Have uninstalled flash and reinstalled several times but still it does not work.
Will only take me to adobe site --redirect--??

Having a problem with the site TOYOTA.COM and Flash Player, after installing Auto Patcher
when going to that site, it ask for adobe flash player and directs you to the Adobe site for a install which I did, but it still asked for the player every time you try to enter the site. Have removed and installed adobe flash player now several time and can not accessed the site still. I think its something with version it sees as the OS. HELP--Charlie

I do not know whether this applies to the discussion or not, but i have 128 MB ram and 380 MB swap file, i had a "Not enough Memory error" once and i just raised the swap file size to 420 MB and it was fixed. The Maxfilecache setting is at default 393216. I do not use any minfilecache setting.
How do you raise the swap file size?

After installing Autopatch my hotplug icon in the status bar (system tray) does not work. Clicking on it does not bring up a window to kill my USB conn. So when I close down my GPS or camera, I get the warning window that I should have use the system icon to close before unplugging device. Removing and installing drivers did not help, even merging a registry backup does not fix it. Backup with registry and files does still work(without Autopatch). So with the right drivers and right registry over Autopatch, it does not work, but with the old files and no Autopatch installed, it does work. This seems to be the standard hotplug icon in the system tray for disconn. storage devices - any ideals on a solution?
OK first remember that Auto-Patcher is an automatic hotfix installer so the problem should lie in one of the updates, not in AP itself. Are you saying that simply installing AP (but not running it) causes this problem, or are you saying after you have patched your system with AP that the problem arises ... which one is it?
No, just not installing but after I run it, so right its in an update - also noticed that hotplug.dll was a little larger in size, but version was unchanged, so I replaced it with old hotplug.dll and no help. Also deleted hotplug.dll (all of them) and icon still shows up in tray? Disabled system tray and icon does not show up and no warning when disconn. storage device. What file displays this icon - its in hotplug.dll, but must now run from some other file? ProcessExplorer does not list it as running? So if I knew which file kick it off I might locate the problem. Thanks
Any help here, or is this a problem with just my system. regsvr32 doesn't load hotplug.dll. This file is what disconn. storage device - and not what loads icon to tray, so I assume its a problem with it being registered.

Assuming it's not a problem simply installing AP, we need to find out which update is causing the fuss. Can you please see if you can narrow down which update it is, and also, when you report any errors in the running of AP, please post your log file and or report file text so i can see which modules you were trying to run. See the recent posts by Nathanson1947 where he doesn't always say much, but he does always attach his log files that tell me lots and lots about what he was doing when the problems occurs. This makes helping him very easy and makes me happy to help ... all you are saying at present is in effect "Auto-Patcher isn't working for some reason" and i need more info to properly help ... cheers.

I've tried SeSp2.1a and it insisted on ruining the icons by requiring the little arrow. TweakUI has no effect on it.
I tried WUpG98en and it does the same thing.
Somehow those developers have run into people who really want some outsider to mess with their desktop appearance.
So has anyone put together a Win98SE update package that does not make any changes to MY desktop?
Search registry for "IsShortcut" and replace with "IsNotShortcut".This will fix all your shortcut arrows to none. The best fix for this problem. If when you run a program that updates and breaks this, just go back and find where it puts "IsShortcut" back along with your "IsNotShortcut" and delete the extra "IsShortcut".

Question - Why does the "Microsoft Windows Pop-Up Program Support" keep poping up durning the running of Auto Patch, have to keep shutting down the pop-up windows so the reboot does not hang?Has this always happened? Does this always happen? Does this happen if you don't change the color scheme? I think it's a bug in the new color scheme option -- i'll look into it ...
1. Yes - this always happened - lots on first install - only one on last install.
2. Did change color, but it happen on first install too.
do you load ANSI in your system startup? Look in Config.sys and Autoexec.bat and see if there is any reference to ANSI and report back please.
3. No - and not in Config.sys or Autoexec.bat
Also some of us don't have Outlook on our machine and have to go back and delete all the stuff that gets install my Auto patch - should be an option or check if its on your system. That's a good point, others have made it as well, i'll add this to my to do list ... so can i confirm, in your case you have totally removed Outlook Express so the file named MSIMN.EXE is nowhere to be found on your computer?
4. Yes - and do not have this file on my system.

I am looking for a consol application that will search inside a group of cab files and tell witch cab file has the file that is being searched for.
Example:
c:\cabsearch explorer.exe D:\win98\
The file explorer.exe was found in xxxxxx.cabIf such a tool exist it would make my life a lot easier.
Thanks
In the Start Menu - use search command - in Folder or Files line put " * .cab ", and in Files Containing line put the file you are looking for - like " explorer.exe " all with out quotes.

If same name files already present in %windir%\INF, new ones will be renamed to *ME.INF.
What does this mean - do I delete old *.inf and replace with the new *me.inf since they are the newer files and this update was to install the new *.inf -- ONLY IF THAT FILE WAS NOT ON DRIVE even if it was older?
THANKS, Charlie

Hard ways (semi safe ways)
1. do BACKUP
2. open up dos prompt (command.com) and kill explorer (from task manager,explorer.exe)
3. switch to command prompt (Alt+Tab, doh)do some command (copy or xcopy) from dos prompt to replace the explorer
4. run taskmanager and select to run a new task, run explorer.exe
Semi-Hard ways (safe ways)
1. rename the 95 shell to explorer95.exe (just example) and copy it to C:\Windows
2. restart and go to command prompt (start in command prompt)
3. type edit C:\Windows\system.ini
4. search for line shell=explorer.exe
5. rename it to shell=explorer95.exe
6. restart or type win
PS: you can play a bit with system.ini, example : shell=C:\explorer95.exe (if you place the shell in C:\)
Thought you had to also replace with Explorer the 95's ver. of COMDLG32.DLL and SHELL32.DLL
at the same time?

MDGx,
When installing option 3 it now dosen't ask for backup so no 98a files are created--option 2 does ask for backup. I installed option 2 with backup then option 3 on clean install of 98se/fresh drive and wasn't ask for backup on 3 so no backup files for 3 were created just 2.
Hope this helps the find problem.

98SE2ME · UPDATED · 3-19-2006
By popular demand...
98SE2ME is the automated installer designed to perform all Killer Replacements 98 SE -> ME "transplant" operations completely unattended, a.k.a. "hands-free".
Enjoy.
MDGx,
I have tried without success in backing out of OPTION 3, but ADD/REMOVE option 3 dosen't work.
I did a fresh install of 98se on new drive and then 98se2me option 1 with backup--then option 3
with backup. Now I tried thru control panel--ADD/Remove option 3 and it didn't work (just a quick
batch window and thats it). I also looked for explorer.98a and any other files *.98a, but their not
there. Is their a batch file I can use with new files off 98 CD to back out of explorer ME on a drive
with OS that I would like to keep. I have tried putting old files back and registering them, but system
has many glitches and seem to be unstable. These were all copies and I have the orig. one I would
like to save if I could backup on the option 3. THANKS, charly

Great--it doesn't freeze while initializing the desktop anymore!
Everthing seems to run fine and installation was smooth.
Couldn't be happer!!! THANKS for all the work and speed in
fixing any problem. Don't know how you do it.

Um, I didn't get the System Properties general tab change back to 98 2nd Edition. It still says I'm running Me.
Also, when the system rebooted following the 98SE2ME batch run it froze while initializing the desktop and I needed to ctrl-alt-delete. When it booted up again the startup screen appeared saying Windows didn't boot properly and offering to start in Safe Mode. I declined, and it started up fine in normal mode this time.
I ran system file checker and the wdm audio files were updated as advertised, so the 98SE2ME did run. I needed to check because for some reason the splash screen had stayed up while the 98SE2ME batch was running so I couldn't view the dos messages (like "so many files copied with 0 errors" etc).
All is running fine, but I didn't get the general tab to change back to 98SE like you said.
I also don't know the effect of the Me WDM audio files since I'm using vxd audio at the moment.
A question. Does 98SE2ME do anything to USB joystick files? I ask because I've never been able to use my Saitek Gamepad P-880 on 98SE. But, since I've had the pad I've always run 98SE2ME so I don't know if the Saitek drivers would mess up Windows if I didn't have 98SE2ME installed. The pad and drivers run fine, but the "About" tab in the Saitek joystick control panel will freeze the control panel and Windows will have restart and shutdown problems with the Saitek driver installed. And they interfere with my USB printer as well. So I don't use the pad on 98SE. I've written Saitek, because I'd like to! We'll see if they reply with anything constructive. The Sidewinder Gamepad Pro USB and the Sidewinder Gamepad 1.0 don't give me any problems. Just the Saitek stuff. I just wondered if the Me joystick drivers are copied over and if perhaps they have something to do with the problem. Funny that the Sidewinder drivers and software (3.02 and 4.0) don't mess up anything.
Same here, but it has been happening since 6-30 ver.--but when you ctrl alt del
and it trys to start in safe mode and you move to normal mode it starts in Windows
and update files. The file it skipped on you was SYSDM.CPL just go to 9me folder
and move it out to replace yours with new 98 2nd Edition title in System Properties general tab.
I thought that their was something wrong on my computer when it keeps hanging
when it rebooted into windows--I get a blank screen with the hourglass that just sits their running until you ctrl-alt-del. Once done everything is just fine.
Glad to know its not just my OS!

Puzzling Registry Size Issue
in Windows 9x/ME
Posted
Tried all versions of 7-zip and latest version of winrar, also one other program #7z, but can not open your files (Regutils or Regdoc ) . Can open any other .7z files that I down load, so it seems to be your files when I down load them. Any other format you could put them in?
Sorry about not editing my post, your right I need to do that next time. I had not done that before, again I'm sorry. Thanks for your help - Charlie
