German Version 2.0 final is online: http://www.creopard.de/win98sp (or check 1st post)

i'll have to revise my posting... the test installation failed... i don't know if it was this "3" or something else.... better keep the "3"...

I noticed this thread too late... aliide.sys = 1,,,,,,4_,4,1,,,1,4 does also work. What's the difference in setting it to "3"?

gdi.exe and user.exe - were english in RC3, now german in RC3a Msvcirt.dll & Msvcrt.dll were taken from english RC3 does win98 run normally after you got that VGAFULL.3GR error? can you open a dos-box without this error message? I also don't have the 'Explorer' and 'Open' entries in the registry, but a rightclick on 'Start' shows: Öffnen, Explorer, Suchen, Kommandozeile

Thanks, I could fix it in the meantime...

Good to hear that

mprexe was a bug in the German version, please go to this thread: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=43865 for a download link of the new/fixed version

Hi, I'm aware of this problem. A new (German) version RC3a is available at this mirror-page: http://www.treiber-koenig.de/download.php?view.147 Changelog: FIXED: 'MPREXE'-Bug beim Herunterfahren FIXED: 'Nabtsfec.sys' Deinstallations-Bug FIXED: Shell- und Explorer-Aktualisierung The mprexe-error should be really gone when installing this version. I really don't know what or which file caused this "illegal operation in mprexe". It was a problem just in the German version. That's why I recreated the German SP again.

A question concerning the "runpost.bat": if exist %winbootdir%\system\iosubsys\SMARTVSD.VXD goto end why should the batch end here, when SMARTVSD.VXD is present? SHELL32.INF or SLEEK.INF and PATCHRE, PATCHNP, q240308-update won't be executed. Is the behaviour really wanted this way?

German Version 2.0 RC3 is online... See 1st post (unfortunately I cannot change the topic title here)

I got your point. I was blindfolded by the 2005 release date but didn't look into the inf/zip file

ALI: their drivers page is broken http://www.ali.com.tw/eng/support/drivers.php SIS: that's not quite right. Newer AGP & IDE drivers can be found at http://www.sis.com/download

It's official: Microsoft confirms problems with this patch in Win98, ME http://www.techweb.com/wire/security/159907205

very well... is there any reason why shell32.dll exists twice in "supp" and "sp2" folder?

what exe-editor do you use, for editing vxd files? reshack and exescope won't open vxd files!

unfortunately, I can only offer you a german vpowerd.vxd 4.10.2223

thank you! check your emails, I'll consider you as the resource hacker by the way... Version RC1_B was released yesterday (not yet including the new kernel32.dll) http://www.creopard.de/win98sp/beta.htm

Very well! Thank you very much for sharing that piece of information! so all that's missing, are localized versions of kernel32.dll and winboot.sys...

what program did you use for editing sysdm.cpl? so you tool the english sysdm.cpl and changed the version number and set the language to "407"? did you translate any content? this could never be accomplished within 5 minutes... what exactly did you change? could you email these two files? thanks I'd really appreciate that!

localisation is quite possible SYSDM.CPL - 5 minutes in any hex editor (WinHEX, HT Edit, Hiew and so on) (U can send me via e-mail your german 4.10.2222 version in zip and it will be done for U) B) KERNEL32.DLL - has PE header and can be edited with any PE Resource Editor (PE Explorer, Restorator, eXeScope, ResorceHacker and so on) in any case all russian cpl/dll/vxd/386/com files are ready <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ok, i've attached SYSDM.CPL for you, maybe you'll be able to open it... It's possible to open and modify Kernel32.dll, but exescope and reshack keep crashing or end up with weird messages... I'll try PE Explorer... SYSDM.rar

is there a listing where i can can see what each patch does exacly? I know for sure only patchnp.exe (which patches notepad) what does the rest patch?

patching? you mean the patches in PATCHES.CAB? they seem to work... I tried a hexeditor on winboot.sys... but there's so much different, even the language stuff starts and ends on other offsets. I think, I might break up more than I would fix Did you make it work?

German Version 2.0 final is online.. Get it here: http://www.creopard.de/win98sp (German)

exactly the same phenomenon here! KB885250 installs a "mrxsmb.sys" version 5.1.2600.2598 that causes these problems. the latest non-bugged "mrxsmb.sys" version 5.1.2600.2541 from 14.12.2004 (can't remember the KB-Nr) does not cause that problem...
