Another question: Is it possible that my USB device (64 MB) will be detected and work without any drivers. I have never used USB drives before. Thanks in advance for any help.

You mean with NUSB not installed? No, this is not possible.

It will work on Windows Me, 2000, XP and Vista, but not on older OSes.

Please help:
1. Will these drivers work on Dell GX 110?
2. Do i have to remove universal serial bus controller driver before installation?
Thanks in advance for any help.

What do you mean exactly?

nUSB is not USB Controller driver but USB Storage driver.

It is not dependent on your USB controller provided it is supported by your operating system (OHCI, OHCI Controller) or separate driver (EHCI controller).

So you should not remove your USB controller driver, but the USB Storage drivers (if any) should be uninstalled and removed from the system.

The official resource is Microsoft Windows 98 Resource Kit, especially Chapter 4 - Automated Installations and Appendix D - Msbatch.inf Parameters for Setup Scripts.

If you will use Google or search function of this forum you will find many topics like Unattended and Updated Boot CD for Windows 98, How to do it with code and links

There are certain chipsets it doesn't seem to work properly on, but then again it might just be because the original chipset hardware was not 48-bit LBA capable, and there's nothing I can do about that.

Do you really think that there is something like "48-bit LBA capable chipset"?

So I have exported all registry entries after KB928388 applied and converted them to Windows 9x format and created both complete and update both reg and inf files, see the attachment:

Can Windows 9x use "Dynamic DST" information? Probably not.

For some timezones "TZI" = "2007", but for some not. Any idea why? What should be added to Win9x servicepacks, TZI or "2007" contents?

Petr do you localise these files manually? Or do you have some patcher to automate things. Meaby we can work on a new Windows 98SE Service Pack for all languages! You have come a long way already

I wrote some scripts or small programs in foxpro - the only language I know a bit.

I'm also able to transfer localized portions of VXD files and 16-bit DLL/EXE files from old localized file to new updated file that it is in English only. It would be nice to have somebody who could write such tools with much higher professionality and much quicker than me.

Regarding the most popular Windows SE servicepack, there was no update for almost a year already. Gape wrote me few days ago that he will wrote longer message so I will see.

I think it would be much better to have complete list of necessary files for all (fe/se/me/95) servicepacks before localizing all files to all languages - because it not very good to go back and localize again different versions or additional files. It would be hard work anyway.

Unfortnately I see not many people wanting to work on the new servicepacks.

I have tested winboot.98s Dutch on my system. It does work as far as I can see. I compared it with mine translation. Might be interesting to spot differences:
winboot.98s:
054D0h: 5347 6A02	"SGj."

11EA0h: 5347 FA14	"SG.."

2F574h: 0600 1600 0001 C400 0000 1900 2B00 8900 A000 A900 AE00		"............+........."

2f63eh: 5347 C400	"SG.."
io.sys (mine):
054D0h: 5347 5802	"SGX."

11EA0h: 5347 9F12	"SG.."

2F574h: 0600 0A00 0001 B700 0000 1200 2500 8800 9F00 A800 AD00	"............%........."

2f63eh: 5347 C300	"SG.."

English Q311561:

5266 dw 258

54b8 dw "IOSYSMSG", 258

Dutch Q311561 - mine

5266 dw 26a

54ca dw "IOSYSMSG", 26a

Dutch Q311561 - your

5266 dw 26a

54ca dw "IOSYSMSG", 258

Dutch - original

5256 dw 26a

54ba dw "IOSYSMSG", 26a

The word after the ISSYSMSG string is the length of the localized block, but you have left the length of the English block here.

The same for

11EA0h: 5347 FA14	"SG.."
2f63eh: 5347 C400	"SG.."

and

11EA0h: 5347 9F12	"SG.."
2f63eh: 5347 C300	"SG.."

Regarding the remaining difference:

2F574h: 0600 1600 0001 C400 0000 1900 2B00 8900 A000 A900 AE00		"............+........."

2F574h: 0600 0A00 0001 B700 0000 1200 2500 8800 9F00 A800 AD00	"............%........."

it seem you have left values valid for English version again.

I've discussed this topic here already: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=76654 but nobody was interested in it.

Windows 9x Member Projects · November 25, 2006

As it was several times mentioned here, Microsoft put US English IO.SYS (WINBOOT.SYS) files to all language versions of Q311561 based on US English code.

Apparently Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Japan, Korean, Arabic and Hebrew versions are correctly localized and Thai version is in English even in the original Windows because it is "Enabled" only.

Now I have localized remaining updates, just moved the strings from original files to the Q311561 update:

Please let me know if everything is OK.

There may be one problem, even in originally localized files by Microsoft. There are three sections containig localized strings, the first and the second (that contain most of the strings) start at 16-byte page boundary so there are correct for sure. But the third, small part does not start on 16-byte page boundary and the system how offsets are calculated is different for US English version and for localized versions.

In US English version the offsets are relative to 16-byte page boundary after the real start of the localized resources, while the offsets in the localized version is relative to the real start of the localization block here is the example. The first column is relative position to the beginning of the localized strings, the second colum is the offset from the beginning of the WINBOOT.SYS file.

Original Windows 98 SE US English version:

2F4AE DW 0006, 000A, 0100, 00B1, 0, 12, 25, 88, 9F, A8, AD
0000 2F4C4 DB "None of the above", 0
0012 2F4D6 DB "Enter your choice:", 0
0025 2F4E9 DB "Windows cannot determine what configuration your computer is in.", 0D, 0A
			  "Select one of the following:", 0D, 0A, 0D, 0A, 0
0088 2F54C DB "Original Configuration", 0
009F 2F563 DB "Undocked",0
00A8 2F56C DB "Dock",0
00AD 2F571 DW "MSDCMMSG", 00C3

00C3 = 2F571 - 2F4AE, but what means 00B1 as the fourth word?

Only if you consider as a start not 2F4AE, but the second 16-byte boundary after this real start, then:

2F571 - 2F4C0 = 00B1

Original Windows 98 SE Czech version:

2F4AE DW 0006, 0016, 0100, 00B0, 0, 10, 1F, 73, 8A, 93, 9A
0000 2F4C4 DB "Nic z uvedeného", 0
0010 2F4D4 DB " Zadejte volbu:", 0
001F 2F4E3 DB "Nelze zjistit konfiguraci tohoto systému.", 0D, 0A
			  "Vyberte jednu z následujících voleb:", 0D, 0A, 0D, 0A, 0
0073 2F537 DB "Originální konfigurace", 0
008A 2F54E DB "Mimo dok",0
0093 2F557 DB "V doku",0
009A 2F55E DW "MSDCMMSG", 00B0
	 2F568 (padding)

00B0 = 2F55E - 2F4AE, the same number is both as the fourth word and at the end of the localization block.

This rule is valid for all 19 languages with except of US English.

Q311561 US English version:

2F574 DW 0006, 000A, 0100, 00B7, 0, 12, 25, 88, 9F, A8, AD
0000 2F58A DB "None of the above", 0
0012 2F59C DB "Enter your choice:", 0
0025 2F5AF DB "Windows cannot determine what configuration your computer is in.", 0D, 0A
			  "Select one of the following:", 0D, 0A, 0D, 0A, 0
0088 2F612 DB "Original Configuration", 0
009F 2F629 DB "Undocked",0
00A8 2F632 DB "Dock",0
00AD 2F637 DW "MSDCMMSG", 00C3

2F637 - 2F574 = 00C3, but this time is the fourth word 00B7. Why?

Only if you consider as a start not 2F574, but the 16-byte boundary after this real start, then:

2F637 - 2F580 = 00B7

So the correct contents of the fourth word is unknown. As well as the correct contents of the second word, it is 0010 for US English and 0016 for all other languages.

I'm not sure if these wors are used anywher at all so maybe it is absolutely irrelevant to try to figure out what are the right numbers.

But if anybody encounters any problem with displaying the right message when using the notebook docked or undocked we know what to check. In that case pleae let me know and I will try to find the right solution.

Q311561 WINBOOT.SYS files are identical for both Windows 98 (Gold) and for Windows 98 Second Edition.

Unfortunately I have no idea how to localize Windows Me WINBOOT.SYS and WINBOOT.EBD files - all text resources are packed with code and compressed so the only way would be to find out how to uncompress this part of the WINBOOT.SYS file, localize it, and then to pack it again.

I've found a bug in wextract.exe in Slovak and Slovenian languages, correctd.

November 24, 2006

The list at http://www.nvidia.com/object/81.98_9x_supported.html is not correct, much better is to use the list in the INF file posted by MDGx

And just a note, according to http://download.nvidia.com/Windows/81.98/8...lease_Notes.pdf just AGP versions of 6xxx are supported, not PCI-E versions. PCI-E and AGP versions have different PCI ID.

I have forced Win98SE to use this driver with some PCI-E graphics boards (6200, 6200 with Turbo Cache, 6600) and it worked.

Petr

November 23, 2006

There are no nv4_NV3x, nv4_MB_NV3x and nv4_WSApps_NV3x_DOEB sections in the W9x 81.98 inf file so it has no sense to add any of the a.m. lines.

Can the USB 2.0 files from WinXP work on Win98SE
with a lil tweaking and patching?

Better from Windows 2000 SP4 but nobody succeeded yet.

Petr

November 21, 2006

http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=1284
they did 2!

This is standard Nvidia WHQL 81.98 Win9x driver downloaded from nvidia.com, please read the list of supported types above - there is no 7xxx type.

Or you can read the Release Notes: http://download.nvidia.com/Windows/81.98/8...lease_Notes.pdf

Petr

I remember that the Gigabyte Ge-Force 6600GT I have came with drivers that by the NVidia ReadMe's did not support the card!

Accoring to the Release Notes 6600GT (AGP) is oficially supported by Nvidia.

Petr

November 20, 2006

There are no drivers for these new boards, e.g. for the SATA controller so it is no chance to install Windows Me on this machine - maybe in some compatibility mode with significantly redced performance. But Intel made boards are extremely hostile to old OSes.

If you really insist on Windows Me and you don't have license of Windows 2K/XP, you can use any Linux distribution with Vmware Server, it is free of charge, and you can run Windows Me inside Vmware.

If you have Windows 2K/XP license, you can run Windows Me inside of Microsoft Virual PC 2004 SP1, it is free of charge too.

November 20, 2006

As you may see at http://www.nvidia.com/object/81.98_9x_supported.html Nvidia does not have any Win9x drivers for 7xxx and 8xxx series.

Yes, Gigabyte GA-K8VM800M-RH contains VIA K8M800 chipset as well and I believe more in Gigabyte, but it is everybody personal preference.

November 19, 2006

It does not look very good.

945G chipset - my INFs will be needed but

- integrated graphics - no Win98 driver from Intel, you may get 2D driver from http://my.scitechsoft.com/

- USB 2.0 - no Win98 driver

- Sound - Realtek ALC883 - no Win98 driver

- SATA controller: no Win98 driver, can work in combined PATA compatibility mode, but not all BIOSes enable to set this mode, some of my Gigabyte boards yes, my MSI and Intel boards no, has to be verified

- LAN Controller Realtek 8110SC: driver is here: ftp://202.65.194.18/cn/nic/PCI_InstallShield_5649_061019.zip

- Radeon X800: Catalyst® Version 6.2 for Windows ME has beta support only, I have experienced some problems with PCI-E video cards with 256 MB RAM

One comment - D945 is cheap but power hungry processor, you may consider some Core 2 Duo unless you have your own power plant.

Analog Devices AD1881A @ Intel 82801AA I/O Controller Hub - AC'97 Audio Adapter [b-1] PCI

OK, this is the important information. AD codecs use SoundMax drivers, they are OEM specific and not available from Analog Devices, just from the motherboard manufacturers - and you have not mentioned it yet.

For example, all of these drivers are SoundMAX drivers for AD codec with 82801AA AC'97 controller:

http://downloadmirror.intel.com/df-support...DM3030D_SM3.exe

But I'm not sure if they work just with AD1881A chip and with your motherboard, every motherboard has its own ID and these drivers support the following ones (for 82801AA):

Subsystem Vendor ID 8086 = Intel, 107B = Gateway

Intel uses two letters identification converted to hexa code in the Subsystem ID, it means:

4241 = BA = BA810 (Baton Rouge)

4F52 = OR = OR840 (Outrigger)

4341 = CA = CA810 (Cayman)

4153 = AS

4257 = BW = BW810 (Birchwood)

4753 = GS = GS810 (Great Smokey)

4250 = BP = BP810 (Black Pine)

5355 = SU = SU810 (Sumatra)

4652 = FB = FB820 (Fairbanks)

4541 = EA = D815EEA (Easton)

4742 = GB = D850GB (Garibaldi)

424E = EN = D815EEA2/D815EPEA2 (Easton 2)

This is specific to specific manufacturer and therefore is so hard to find the right SounMAX driver if you don't know the motherboard manufacturer and type.

is this what you mean?
i actually have two computers with this soundcard onboard.

What version of Everest do you use? I remember that the old versions did not displayed this information, I use the latest one (3.50.xxx). For my controller the first build showing the correct information is 2.451

1.51.195 to 2.20.444:

--------[ PCI / PnP Audio ]-----------------------------------------------------

	Intel 82801DB ICH4 - AC'97 Audio Controller [B-0]								 PCI

- not useful information

2.20.451 to 3.50.792:

--------[ PCI / PnP Audio ]-----------------------------------------------------

	Realtek ALC650 @ Intel 82801DB ICH4 - AC'97 Audio Controller [B-0]				PCI

- useful information

Im having trouble finding a working driver for my sound card, according to everest this is what it is
Intel 82801AA I/O Controller Hub - AC'97 Audio Adapter [b-1]

This is incomplete information, there should be something like:

--------[ PCI / PnP Audio ]----------------------------------------------------------------

	Realtek ALC650 @ Intel 82801DB ICH4 - AC'97 Audio Controller [B-0]				PCI

in the Multimedia section.
