I'm not really undertanding you. Let's clarify something right away - wuweb.dll - (WU) Windows Update = Windows Updates Only muweb.dll - (MU) Microsoft Update = Windows Update + Microsoft Non-Windows Updates (e.g. MS-Office) The second is where you would Opt-In, which is *supposed* to install the ActiveX (muweb.dll). Have you read this whole thread? What version of MUWEB.DLL / WUWEB.DLL do you have? You can determine if you have them "registered" by - 1 - Start Internet Explorer 2 - Go to "Tools->Manage Add-ons" and change from "Addons Currently.." to allow ALL listed. 3 - Scroll down to find "MU..." listed and (possible) "WU..." Remember the difference between the two. Let us know after you've read the entire thread.

"Inconceivable!"

KInd of slim pickings (the RAM). 98SE would "work" but 95B would "fit better". Try both. What's to lose? KISS on the "extras".

YVW... in fact, it seems that getting that message won't hurt a bit. REGVR32 all of them - those that fly, OK, those that don't, no biggie, right?

@jumper - Huh! Never paid much attention to that. With low specs and trying this on (assuming) a VM heck yeah, stuff will lock up! I have 2GB RAM and only alloacate 512MB of it to VPC for testing, otherwise the Host OS slows down drastically. In addition, if you have Dual Core, you *must* set VPC on the Host to use *only one* for Win9x (as Guest VM), otherwise bad stuff happens. Task Manager->Processes->(Right click the one to be changed)->Set Affinity Again, HoppaLong, you're not being very forthcoming. It seems impossible that so many other Members have had nearly no problems but only *you* can get -one.lousy.application- to function. If you wish to be helped, tell all... clearly... in sequence.

Even so, the BS still (apparently) "downloads" to your PC (even though it's "invisible"). Clearing the Cache in FF takes a few until the little red light stops. Then I can shut down the PC.

@Monroe - In a Command (CMD) Prompt, do a "FORMAT /?" the look at "/A:size". Files as small as Links will use more Disk Space with a larger Cluster Size. It's as simple as that. There's a very good reason "Size" (real size) and "Size On Disk" (Bytes consumed via Clusters) is different. For a Folder, the total is calculated for all Files (including the Filder and Sub-Folders). It's not that complex. I thought this was made clear here. http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/174371-question-about-windows-xp-and-flash-drive/#entry1106904 5eraph gave the direct link to the appropriate MS article (about Cluster Sizes aka "Allocation Units"). http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/174371-question-about-windows-xp-and-flash-drive/#entry1106912 That should clarify your confusion. HTH

Nope, "ACLUI.DLL" won't because of that very error message. Read this. http://www.ewall.org/tech/msi/com-registration

@HoppaLong - Still, I browsed through all of your prior posts and that was basically all I could glean. You've not been very forthcoming with much. Besides, that's a *really old* USP that *may* be causing all of your problems.

I haven't found much by way of exactly *what* you have. IBM ThinkPad T23 BIOS_v1.20 Embedded Controller_v1.06a P-III Win98SE "Highly Customized" (transferred from an old Gateway?) using USP2(?). What's this about a Dell Latitude D600? http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/140866-booting-from-external-usb-floppy-drive/?view=findpost&p=901246 ThinkPad (512MB RAM?) http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/140798-refurbished-laptops-and-98se/?view=findpost&p=900814 Seriously, you've never given much info as to what you're using in the way of Hardware. Please help us to help you.

Maybe this helps?

Internet Explorer was available on Floppy as well in the "Plus! Pack" for "Windows 95 RTM". Win95 RTM floppy version was an Upgrade Only (AFAICR) but with an MSBATCH.INF over-ride it could be installed "clean". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_95 All later versions of Win95 were OEM-Only "clean" but could also be "manipulated" to install as Upgrade. Unless it's a *really old* PC, I prefer Win98SE, although both will run *old* DOS/Windows Games (AFAICR). Later Windows are not conducive to DOS games and some older Windows games (again, AFAICR). Windows 95 limits way too many MS (and other) Applications to older versions. You do realize that this Topic is going to be a repeat of *way too many* previously started ones, right?

El-cheapo PS/2 Keyboard in any thrift store (e.g. Goodwill) in the USA - $2USD or less. It would behoove you to purchase one to eliminate the possibility of a bad port *and* to have a spare. You seem to be burning a lot of time on this without fully testing (i.e. with a true PS/2).

@CamTron - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension You realize you've opened up a can of worms? Jaclaz is going to smack your hand with a ruler!

Ummm, my *last* post was to correct my error. Did you see the post that said You said You're saying they *did* work but now don't, right? It seems that your problem is with the Living Room PC itself.

Win95/NT4 - I wouldn't... Win2K *will* use both cores. The rest of above is (more or less) true. There are "free" work-arounds for RAM (98/ME) but the patch is the best. Read the Stickies. And again, it all depends on the MoBo/Chipset, but *probably* will "work" as already stated.

(Heh...) My bad... http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/174284-bad-ps2-port/#entry1106086

With that hardware (as little info as you gave), you might want to go with Win2000. Can you provide more info, e.g. the Make/Model of the Motherboard/Chipset?

Nope... MS Proprietary (AFAIK). Convert ESD->WIM if you really need to look inside.

Well, you could "dump" the Resources ( ) to get the current info, but wouldn't you still have to manually figure out which was what in order to modify each one or even to add another several without "stomping on" the pre-existing ones? It kind of looks like you're "stuck" with manual and "test". That is, unless jaclaz has a "simple solution".... In any case, you'd *still* have to Test and construct a suitable script to repeat what you've already done.

No, WMP11 can't be directly integrated. You need to use a separate program to do that. This hasn't been updated for a while, so the latest WMP11 "fixes" may not be listed. http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/162279-how-to-integrate-basic-updatesie8wmp11/ CABARC (as noted in the script) may/may-not download. That's MS' fault that sometimes the sites are "down" for some reason. The one downloaded for WUA was part of a script developed to create it (another Topic) and was "plugged into" UDC directly. Feel free to modify the script to use that one at the front-end of the UDC script instead of later on. IE8 "checklist" - must have been something "missed". -X- quit bothering with IE6 since MS Update was a "nag" about IE being a "Critical Security Update". Note that ONLY XP Basic Updates are downloaded, *not* any "Extras/Optionals" (hence the reason WMP11 is *not* included). UPDATES.TXT is a "check" and is irrelevant that a line appears twice (look inside the Script for the reference/usage). Feel free to remove one. The UDC script hasn't been updated for some time, so the Flash may no longer exist. Feel free to change it. WUA is required to go to Windows Updates. If you install the "original download" (see WUA script section) and install it, you'll find that WindowsUpdate *will* update you to the latest. WUA references here - http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/157027-windows-update-agent-which-version-do-you-have/ http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/173049-windowsmicrosoft-update-not-working-on-windows-2000xp2003/ http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/170879-solved-win-xp-pro-sp3-freshly-installed-wont-update/ http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/163751-windows-update-trouble/ Basically, if you *don't* use WU, then *if* you install dotNET, Silverlight, etc. ("optionals" not in UDC). then you won't know what other Updates (for them) you may need. Feel free to not use it *but* remember to "turn off" WU. In addition *if* you were to install, say Office and want to use WU, then it won't because Microsoft Update *requires* WUA and will install an additional ActiveX (see above links). As for dotNET (etc), you'll have to look elsewhere (RyanVM, WinCert, etc) since these *are* Add-On's ("Optional") and need to be "cosntructed". Also note *all Add-on's" are (in essence) CAB's or 7Z's. HTH (Did I miss anything? That's a lot of winks!)

USB->PS2 adapter is simply a "rewire" of the connection. There's also PS2->USB so I doubt this is a problem. Driver is irrelevant in your case. The keyboard (from the tests you've shown) indicate that it's a deader. Time for a replacement.

Uhhhh, jaclaz, my good friend, I haven't trusted journalists to report truth for a loooong time. I'm constantly amazed at what they leave out of a story to sway you to "the establishment's way of thinking" (comparing what I find with what's reported). So, I'm going to "assume" that you're jesting when journalists are telling the truth about anything. "MS says so, so it *must* be true!" And investigators/auditors investigate/audit their own department/company/administration and come up with nothing. Suuuure they do!
