Just one: w98SE usp3.0

Has anyone tried it? Is it even possible (outside the drivers issue)?

If you like minimalist shells (realy minimalist), you should try GO! zip size: 314k

What the hell may he be talking about? Many other update boxes were appearing and disapearing at a rapid rate, before, during and after this message was displayed... Is it because uSP 3.0 uninstal Virtual Machine?

A single library with an ini file listing the index nmberof the icons + the possibility of using other dll's or change de default dll. Maybe the default dll could be edited by an apropriate software so that the user can add or remove icons so that only the useful icons will be there. Or have different libaries sorted by theme. I don't like the idea of havin many subfolders with hundreds o separate icon files. (just my opinion)

I think I could write something like this in HTA. I just need an application able to detect and write automaticaly into a text the version of the dll and other system files. I know such program exists but I need one with could work on comand line and with an export-to-text option. As for scanning thousands of system files, it's sort of my speciality. See my Installed (System) Files Checker. I would need also some helpful information from those who know better than me: Which extention files should we look for, etc Well one more thing I'll need is... time. Now, personaly, I think it would be still easier to crank up one of the packs and here you go...

Aloha, You can remove the Message boxes from the script so that there will be no "OK'or "Yes" to click if that's anoying. Like that: Set WshShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell") WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics\CaptionWidth", -500, "REG_SZ" WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics\CaptionHeight", -315, "REG_SZ" Then it will be totaly silent. HTH

That could be pretty easy if ever we had a website storing all the files. Not the installers, but the files without installers. Like that the program could compare date and version tags of the files on the system with those on the internet. Then update the file right down the download. For some reason I haven't seen any update available withou an installer but I imagine that it should be feasable.

Open Notepad, copy paste this code and save it under RegWindowsMetric.vbs (or whatever you want to name it - with .vbs extention). Then doubleclick the vbs file anytime you need to restore the registry key I didn't test it as I didn't want to mess with my own registry but feel free to reply if it deosn't work HTH. Title = "Restore My WindowsMetric Values" If (MsgBox("Restore WindowsMetric registry keys?", vbYesNo, Title) = vbNo) Then wscript.quit End If Set WshShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell") WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics\CaptionWidth", -500, "REG_SZ" WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics\CaptionHeight", -315, "REG_SZ" MsgBox "WindowsMetric registry keys restored.",,Title note: You can use modify this code for writing any other registry key when needed.

No problem so fa with the last uSP. I had an expected issue with ESDI_506.PDR, but that's not common, more specific to my computer, I think. For those having the same issue with ESDI_506.PDR, please try the version 4102222 from LLMX's patch see forum

I had downloaded the last Java runtimes (jre-6u6-windows-i586-p.exe) 10 days ago, on april 18th. Are you sure there is an update? ...and how many update of DTS will there be?

I use too many Windows applications to migrate to linux and look for the corresponding softwares (re-learn how to use them and so on). I also use and create tons of VBScript everyday and VBS doesn't exist on Linux. There ae other scripting languages on Linux but all are much more difficult to learn. I have no time learning them. TBS, I don't exclude switching to Linux one day. Never say never...

I'v heard that Acrobat 7.0 is better than 6.0 but not w98 compatible. Also that Acrobat can be made much faster with some tweaks (but I don't know them). Foxit is **** fast without tweak and no bloatware. On my PC it opens like Notepad or something. I guess you can instal the last version.

For those who are interrested, I'm currently developing a hta application to customize right click menus on files (and file associations by the way). In the meantime, search and download ContextEdit software and use it. Keep in touch!

ONG FREE Zmule/Emule I'v tried Zmule (local version of eMule and the same program, I htink) Tip: In the ini file enter "0" after "WinXPSP2=". After that zMule worked almost normaly. Crashing here and there, but nothing preventing to use it. Reducing the down and up load threads helped make it more stable while using the computer with other programs. While not using the computer, I set it on full all night, every nights for 2 weeks, without a glitch. I'm not sure about the "impaired" perforances they are talking about: It was often downloading and uploading up to the physical limit of my aDSL connection...

Foxit is much faster than Acrobat. No problem reading evrything I need. My PC is Adobe Acrobat Free. (not even a registry entry). Adobe poducts for those who like slowly responding, giga-sized bloatwares with millions of files, like Vista users. Normal they told it's not for us.

As you may have noticed I'm posting on Gape's uSP thread the list of updates included and not included in its last release (uSP 3.0 beta3). The goal is to list all the updates needed after uSP 3.0. Useful if for some reason, you don't use the autopatcher. Or if you want to create a simplified, smaller, autopatcher for post uSP upgrade only. (just a suggestion : ) Please correct this list if you see missing or erroneous datas. It's not easy to do such a list. I refers only to MDGx's thread on last updates. The list of included updates concerns only the most recent ones. HTH (Link Updated)

These updates are included in uSP 3.0 Beta2. (not a complete list but some of the most recent updates) 237493usa8 .....USER.EXE + USER32.DLL 249973USA8 98KRNLUP .........KRNL386.EXE COPY2GB ..........(another fix is included in uSP) CRYPT9X DCOM98UP EXPLOR98 ..........EXPLORER.EXE FDSKFRMT HELPHLP HHUPD KB917344-x86 Q250876 Q253912 ...........VCACHE.VXD Q301453 ...........NDIS.VXD + PPPMAC.VXD + VIP.386 Q891711 ...........USER.EXE + USER32.DLL* Q918547 ...........GDI.EXE + GDI32.DLL* Q926247 Q929120 Q931836 Q932590 ...........MSVCRT.DLL Q942763 ...........TIMEZONE.EXE RICHED9X ..........RICHED20.DLL + USP10.DLL rootsupd ...........ROOTSUPD.CAB RUNHELP ...........RUNHELP.CAB SHELL98 SHELL98b TRIEDIT WINFIL98 * So are Q918547 and Q891711 still useful or not?

Update suggestions for future release Update OLEAUT32.DLL 2.40.4519 to new version 2.40.4520 from last OLEUP.EXE Last version in Q304708 is 4.90.3004. Maybe that last version is better? Not forgetting... HTH

LOL, I'm not very good at word association: It took me weeks before I understood what "Vistaish" meant. I thought it was something from India. Well, Vista was probably coded there.

LOL: The system was running 13 years with major problem (otherwise they would have changed for something newer). Maybe someone send them a link to our furom so that they can a solution to their problem, and a nifty 95 service pack.

I'v been using DVD Shrink on w98 (and a DVD decipherer too) without problem. Just use a temporary folder for the new files, then remove the original DVD and insert a blank one when required. It doesn't create an image like an ISO file orsomething. It only creates the same files that will be on DVD on your HD and these files are +- 1.2 Gb only. HTH

I'm capturing video at a resolution of 640x480 since 2002 on my w98se computer with excellent results. But I don't use a tv-tuner, I use a Video-in on a tvI/O videocard. Tv-tuner usualy suck. I don't understand why a few milliseconds bothers you. If you capture in high bitrate mpeg-2 codecs, your movie will be split in 4 or 5 parts only. Losing, even one second every 25 minutes will go unoticed. It's also easier to recompress/reedit the video by shorter clips than the whole movie at once, from my experience. But breaking the 4Gb barrier would be awsome anyway.

What I meant was that you need a special tool for this purpose.

You can't move Windows from an HD to another by simply copying the files. You either have to copy the partition with a software used for that very special task or reinstall Windows from the CD. A fresh install is always recommanded.
