bristols

Hi brutus1234, Thanks for your report. I have updated the 2000 Updates page accordingly - hopefully it will go online soon. However. Although I have made 828026 obsolete on the page, I have a reservation, which is that I believe 828026 is still good for WMP 7.1. Now, the 2000 Updates page doesn't consider that anyone wants to slipstream WMP 7.1. Windows 2000 ships with 7.0, and I'm not sure exactly about the upgrade path to 7.1. Indeed, I have no idea whether or not anyone would even want to slipstream 7.1 instead of 9, and I know no good reason. I know that the Updates page is not totally comprehensive, for historical (and good) reasons (decisions made before my involvement). But if I come to learn of a good reason to slipstream 7.1, I'll look into providing links to the relevant files. Probably it has been talked about before here. To anyone who knows: please chime in.

You're welcome. I'm not sure, but I suspect that the reason that usbser.sys is missing from the 'latest' update is because usbser.sys is for Windows 2000 Server. If you don't have Server (sorry - I don't recall whether you have specified in your posts ), I'm not sure whether or not the file will be slipstreamed. If this bothers you, then you need to speak to others here more experienced than myself for advice.

Just use only the one that is named as usual. I'll have to get back to you on that. I suspect one of those files is just some sort of registry fix, but don't quote me. Meanwhile, if you've requested and downloaded both, you could try running a Command Prompt from the folder in which you saved the two updates, with the "-x" parameter, which will extract the contents of those files, so that you can compare their respective contents for date and build number. So for example, you would use a command like this: Windows2000-KB838417-x86-ENU.EXE -x "Windows2000-KB838417-x86-ENU.EXE" being the update's filename in this case.

No problems to report about slipstreaming WillBill's unofficial updates? No sir everything workings fine on my end. All the newer versions replace the old ones and from what I see working properly. Thanks. Good stuff. I'll think about how to include them on the Windows 2000 Updates page.

No problems to report about slipstreaming WillBill's unofficial updates?

Mmmhhhh... Perhaps you meant "831375"? Indeed I did. Thanks for pointing out my error. I've updated the list. Actually, the note is possibly redundant in the context of HFSLIP. At least, I can just say that I found that manually installing 873437 before 831375 gave my system some kind of general protection error (if I recall correctly), and the OS wouldn't finish the boot process.

Here is a direct download link for .NET 2 SP2: http://download.microsoft.com/download/c/6/e/c6e88215-0178-4c6c-b5f3-158ff77b1f38/NetFx20SP2_x86.exe As far as I am aware, that is the last official release for .NET 2x for Windows 2000. However, MFSN member blackwingcat has .NET 3.5 SP1 working: http://blog.livedoor.jp/blackwingcat/archives/1095338.html (page in Japanese). Making a switchless installer for slipstreaming is beyond my ken, I'm afraid.

I have not yet tried to slipstream the below listed hotfixes, but intend to have a go soon. Has anyone else? I hope to be able to include them in the Updates page (and also perhaps WildBill's unofficial updates, but this post doesn't address them). The hotfixes below for Windows 2000 SP4 (Pro and/or Server) contain files which seem to be newer than those available from the updates on the Windows 2000 Updates page I maintain. These hotfixes were issued to address specific issues, and were not included in SP4 or the later SP4 Update Rollup 1. Many of the KB articles for these hotfixes mention 'SP5'. Probably several (if not all) of these 'new' files were included in MSFN member Gurglemeyer's Unofficial SP5 project. Most of these are available upon request from Microsoft. I've made two lists for the same set of hotfixes. The first is a simple list with the KB number for each, linking to its article. The second is a more detailed list, showing the relevant files contained in those hotfixes of the first list. In the detailed list, those files in green are the latest files I'm aware of for Windows 2000 (excluding files from subsequent unofficial updates), by version number. I know that version number alone is not enough to determine whether or not any given file is the latest release. If you're aware of any errors here, please correct them. Please take notice of the notes in red. And sorry that this looks a bit messy.

I wondered the same... @brutus1234: Indeed I'll add the Italian WMP9 installer to the page. Thank you.

Thanks very much WidlBill. You know I guess that BlackWingCat also produced a patch for MS10-099: http://blog.livedoor.jp/blackwingcat/archives/1371229.html It's a pity you guys couldn't work in tandem and share the load. Perhaps you do in some way(s) - if so, pardon me.

A while ago, Erpman (erpdude8 here) announced that he would remove his NT4 and 9x updates pages from his website (he has since restored the latter page, with several updates removed). Before he did, I took the opportunity to download everything there that I didn't already have for Windows 95. The updates that were listed there, as well as those listed by MDGx (and one or two listed at Lightspeed's now defunct Win95 page), account for everything I downloaded for the OS. A few of the updates were produced by Erpman - at least, a few of the NT4 ones were, but possibly also some of the 95 ones. Anyway, I suspect I got Q229670 from Erpman's site, if not that of MDGx. It would be good to get the Erp's input here. Unfortunately WayBack Machine doesn't seem to have indexed his 9x page when it was at its fullest.

For those that don't know, I maintain the Windows 2000 Hotfixes page on FDV's site. FDV hasn't responded for the past couple of months to my attempts to contact him, and as a result, the page hasn't been updated (I can't upload changes to the page myself). Does anyone have any suggestions? I will consider posting the page elsewhere if there's any indication that FDV cannot / will not any longer be available.

@LoneCrusader Try this page - hopefully it can supplement those updates you already have: http://erpman1.tripod.com/w9xmeupd.html You could also give this archived page a go: http://web.archive.org/web/20041229005517/erpman1.tripod.com/w95ntupd.html Erpman (MSFN's erpdude8) previously listed far more patches and hotfixes here. I believe I have most of them archived, so that cover collectively they include most if not all the files referenced in the post made by Petr. Do you happen to have a list of the actual KB numbers of hotfixes and patches you need? If so, I can probably supply you with each one if you wish. Edit: I've PM'ed you with a list.

It would be good to know the outcome of your comparison. Please let us know in that event. I think this was based on erpdude8's work (someone please correct me if I'm wrong). In any case, MDGx (of course) hosts an unofficial WMP9 for 98 FE here: http://www.mdgx.com/wmp.htm#WMP9 Direct download: http://www.mdgx.com/spx/WMP90_98.EXE

It's possible to install WMP 7.1 using a special script and a couple of files from the 7.0 package. Also the Windows Media 9 Codec Package for WMP 7 will install with only one error, an "Error registering OCX..." I don't remember the rest of it, Ill have to check again. But after that error it says it's installed successfully. As an off-topic aside, I'm interested to learn what advantage WMP7x has over 6.4 on Windows 95. Would either of you have anything to say on this? My only off-the-cuff idea would be about DVD playback, but I was under the impression that a simple registry fix can enable it in 6.4, too.

Boy, I admit that did not quite compute. Is the later release on the list? If so, which one? 967715 has the last official SHELL32.DLL - build 5.0.3900.7155. However the list of unofficial patches (to which I linked in my previous post) has a later (unofficial) build (thanks to WildBill!) - 5.0.3900.7158. The update in question is 2286198 - MS10-046 Vulnerability in Windows Shell Could Allow Remote Code Execution (update) - right now the first in the list. An obligatory word of caution - it's an unofficial update (although no-one seems to have had any problems with WildBill's updates, including me). Back and forth. ***** When you reply to a post, the first quote (in square brackets) shown in the message box contains the name of the quoted post's author and the time it was made.

Hi jinjou, Thanks for your time and concern. You're not alone. Other MSFN members are helping keep 2K alive with unofficial patches. Thanks for picking that up. I'll replace the web page link with this direct download. Hmmm. I found the direct download link for directx_9c_redist.exe, but Microsoft seems to have replaced the file on the server. Now, the size of the downloaded file is 1.3KB. Seems we need to find another (trusted) source for this file. Any suggestions? Well, Windows2000-KB908531-v2-x86-ENU.EXE is included for the sake of completeness, even though later release contain an updated SHELL32.DLL file. See, Windows2000-KB908531-v2-x86-ENU.EXE contains the file VERCLSID.EXE. It is the installation of this file that FDV does not recommend. However, in case someone needs this file (for some reason I know not what), it's listed. Perhaps I should make this update's situation clearer. I inherited the upkeep of this page. The "Don't do it!" remark was made before my involvement. I agree, it's not really helpful without an explanatory link. Thank you for supplying one. I'll make all these updates to the page and send it to FDV for upload. Thanks again!

Incidentally, for anyone interested, the Orangeware 2.3 USB driver can be found here: http://web.archive.org/web/20070321052856/http://www.doubleh.com.tw/dh-page/download.htm Direct Download: http://web.archive.org/web/20061201081001/www.doubleh.com.tw/download/Driver+upgrade/AliNEC23-931119/U2v2_3.exe

Did you find out if these are obsolete. And I found another one Windows2000-KB957579-x86-ENU 923414 - Srv.sys, replaced by 982214 (MSFN user Wildbill-produced unofficial update) 936021 - Msxml3.dll, replaced by 2079403 (MSFN user Wildbill-produced unofficial update) 957579 - replaced by 951748 v2 While they work for me so far with no problems, of course you install unofficial updates at your own risk. Regarding 936021 and any other (official) update: to find out whether or not it has been superseded by an (official) update, you can check its security bulletin page. Each update has a column listing "bulletins replaced by this update". Check it: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS07-042.mspx

Or indeed use an alternative. For example, the open-source SumatraPDF Reader is still in development, supports Windows 2000 and is far more lightweight than the Adobe Reader: http://blog.kowalczyk.info/software/sumatrapdf/

Here is some information from my notes (works for me, your mileage may vary): 2124261 = a Wildbill unofficial patch. Current, not obsolete. 914389 = replaced by 980232. 923414 = ? 936021 = ? 941644 = replaced by 951748 v2. 941693 = replaced by 979559. 943484 = replaced by 973037. 975560 = current, not obsolete.

Will do. Thanks for the suggestion.

I have an old Dell Inspiron 3700 Laptop, with 440BX chipset, Pentium 3 500Mhz CPU and ATI Mobility M1 8MB AGP card. I want to know whether it is somehow possible to enable Banked VGA Write Combining (BVGAWC) and Linear Frame Buffer Write Combining (LFBWC) modes for this card under non-DOS-based operating systems. Apparently in old systems, Intel left the implementation of these modes, and Write Posting (WP), to software/OS developers. Fortunately for DOS and 9x users, there is FastVid, which implements the modes from pure DOS: http://www.mdgx.com/umb.htm#FAS However, I've been unable to find a solution for NT-based systems (I use Windows 2000). Does anyone know of a piece of software that could help? I use WPCredit on this system to perform a few tweaks at boot time to the PCI Configuration Registers. Does anyone know whether or not I could change something here to enable these modes? I've managed to change three registers successfully, but I'm ignorant about the purpose of many of them. For your information, here is the registers file (PCR) for the 440BX chipset (and thanks in advance!): PCR(PCI Configration Registers) Editor / WPCREDIT for WIN32 Copyright (c) 1998 H.Oda!

@erpdude8 WildBill's patch is now at Version 3. It's here: Windows2000-KB2286198-v3-x86-ENU.EXE Check this post for a whole slew of further post-EOL patches for Windows 2000: The thread to which I just linked really needs to be made a sticky!! @WildBill I've been meaning to say: utterly fantastic work! All power to you! Do you intend to keep this up? I really hope the answer is positive.

It imported my Firefox bookmarks automatically, I believe. At least, they are there, and I don't recall importing them myself. Otherwise, go: Menu > Bookmarks > Manage Bookmarks, and from the Manage Bookmarks pane, choose File > Import Firefox Bookmarks. Opera uninstalls very easily and painlessly. In my experience it plays nicely with other installed apps. Yep, works without KernelEx. FWIW This problem does not seem to affect 98SE, it only shows up when Opera 10.50+ versions are installed on 98SE2ME or ME itself. The only workaround I know for this is to left click on the box you need to fill and hit 'Insert' button on the keyboard. This will get you a rather bold flashing line in place of the normal line, which is less than perfect but useable. HTH Ah, thanks for this. Indeed I am a 98SE2ME user. Hmmm. Wonder if it has to do with the ME version of msimg32.dll? When installing Opera on 98 SE, does it still complain about requiring a later version of msimg32.dll?
