As I presume, it could be problem of my old Windows installation (it was installed on 13 March 2004!) but Firefox 3.6 isn't stable enough with beta version of KernelEx. Because of that, I've switched to KernelEx 4.0 Final 2 and Firefox 3.5.7 and that duo working very well. Interesting, that ffdshow (rev. 3200) and MediaInfo Lite 0.7.27 are still working (looks like that was just an installation problem).

Bit off-topic: halohalo, you haven't problem with SeaMonkey 1.1.18? Because of some issue, I'm still using SeaMonkey 1.1.17.

Loblo, my question was concerned specifically to the chunk not Vcache size. Still, I don't know what is advantage having 2048 bytes instead of 1024.

I'm pleased to report that all programs which I had a problem with, are working great with latest beta version! Even more: newest revision (3200) of clsid ffdshow doesn't require an old (2322) revision for configuration panel anymore. I''ll check more applications soon. Xeno, Tihiy, big thanks for a beautiful piece of work! Btw, Xeno, you have a volunteer (Ramiro Polla). IMHO, having more brains in your small team isn't a bad idea.

Dencorso, thank you for the reply - I'll check those settings. Btw, for tweaking them, I'm using old but fine freeware program called Cacheman (version 5.50).

What value guys, you recommend for 1 GB of RAM? I've set MinFileCache=64 MB, MaxFile Cache=256 MB and chunk size=1024 (what sort of benefit you can expect with higher value of it?). Btw, I'm interested what you think abou that article: http://www.thpc.info/ram/vcache.html

Dencorso, thank you for the reply and interesting link.

As I understand, it's possible to install and running such type of disk on our old buddy. My question is whether it's worth to be taken into consideration? Btw, from that article looks like, that in term of use SSD, another oldie (Windows 2000) is better than newer OSes: http://www.liliputing.com/2008/12/whats-th...ndows-2000.html

Wsxedcrfv, you can install Java 6 till update 7 without KernelEx. Newer versions require KernelEx. No, you can install update 18 (yes, it's a newest version) but again with KernelEx. No, specifically Firefox 3.6 require at least Java 6 update 10 - check info from my link.

You need KernelEx (I'm using latest version) to install it. On the beginning of installation process you would be warned that your system (e.g. Win98 SE) isn't on the list of supported systems but that's all. Btw, I was wrong: with update 17 you need also to disable that Java next-generation plugin.

I've installed Java 6 update 18 and it works OK but for proper detection you need (at least that was in my case) to disable Java next-generation plugin (it wasn't necessary in update 17). Btw, one important info: NOTE: The Firefox 3.6 browser requires Java SE 6 Update 10 or later. Otherwise, Java-based web applications will not work.

I'm running that version too - no problem at all (Win98 SE + SP 2.1b + KernelEx 4.0 Final 2).

Like wsxedcrfv, I'm running the same version of uTorrent (but I have KernelEx 4.0 Final 2). As far as I know it doesn't required KernelEx at all.

I want to report a problem: Win98SE KernelEx 4.0 Final 2 Codec Tweak Tool 4.1.0, MediaInfo Lite 0.7.26 and ffdshow r3176 2010-01-02 (clsid) give an error: "Stream read error" and then e.g. "Exception EAccessViolation in module CodecTweakTool_410.TMP at 0002B902". "Access violation at adress 004B902 in module CodecTweakTool_410.TMP. Write of adress 80000002."

Installing ffdshow filter or Haali Media Splitter should resolved such problem (KernelEx is handy for those programs).

I prefer to stay with µTorrent - it's great, small BT client. I've liked Azureus but Vuze is so bloated that I can't recommend it to anyone.

Just for curiosity, I've checked MySpace and no problem at all (I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.22pre). Maybe it's issue with the Flash (I've latest 10 version of it)?

I've tried - it was possible to install it but it doesn't work on test page (version for alternate browsers). Because of that, I'm using the same version as you. Btw, here you have a small thread: http://www.msfn.org/board/shockwave-player-t139333.html

As you said, the major problem is hardware (and of course drivers for it). Here you have interesting article: http://www.guru3d.com/article/accelerate-x...-the-gpu-guide/

Yes, as I said ealier, no problem at all. As alternative, I'm using also a very good and freeware 7zip.

Sorry for that question but it's a legal version? I haven't seen such thing on WinRar site. I've legal 3.90 version and it works without any problem.

I don't using IE and IMHO, IE 6.0 is one of the worst browsers. I've tried to install Shockwave for alternate browsers and surprisingly for me it was possible (with the help of KernelEx and registry trick) but it doesn't work on Adobe test page.

Good to hear that! Could you explain how you've done it (are you using KernelEx)?

I'm running successfully latest version of Flash Player but I would like to know it's also possible with the Shockwave (recent version 11.5.2.602). I'm using quite old 10.2.0.23.

I can confirm that the same version of Flash works fine with Firefox 2.0.0.22pre too.
