PROBLEMCHYLD

I disagree Old does NOT mean cheap. The only thing that was HP related was the case. All other hardware has been updated and brand new except the motherboard. I have seen people sale stock DELL/HP/COMPAQ etc.. with single core and less ram for $150.00. I'm not in no rush to sale it. Again, the only thing used in the machine is the motherboard. Even the PSU is brand new. I can strip it down and make twice as much, but it takes too much time to sell parts individually. The ram cost about $80. I wasn't asking for no outrageous price, but 125.00 is a slap in the face. If I can't get the asking price, it will make one hell of a server for Windows 2000.

Does anyone have an actual download to USB Easy Transfer Cable 5.1.3785.0.The link at cnet points to the WinXP version.

I found the bug. It is NOT the file SYSDM.CPL 4.90.0.3001. In order for USB drivers to silently install you need these keys, and they do NOT work on the Win98 version of SYSDM.CPL 1. HKLM,System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\USB,"SilentInstall",,"1" 2. HKLM,System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\USB,"SilentInstallNotify",,"1" but wait, registry key (2) is the culprit. When that key is removed, the icon bug disappear, but wait, when that key is removed the icon bug is gone and everything installs silently and you don't get the New Hardware Found box that shows the USB drivers installing because everything installs in the background. This only happens when updating the .SYS drivers. USB flash drives devices shows the New Hardware Found box. This is not a bug since the whole purpose is to let drivers detect silently without the users input. If users are using NUSB 3.6, just remove key (2) up above, remove all drivers in safemode.

Well, I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is SYSDM.CPL 4.90.0.3001 is now working on my system. The icon bug is gone The bad news is, I don't know what I did to get rid of it. Look at the screenshot for proof. You'll see the Disable System Restore option which is not present on Win98 along with no buggy icon in device manager. BTW, the link to the none System Restore version is broke.

It seems all of the methods work under certain conditions. Windows 98 native COMMAND.COM didn't understand (GOTO :NEXT) but understood GOTO NEXT. WIN95CMD.EXE file understands both. So it seems certain flags/pipes/variables etc..,.. are recognized by both, but the WIN95CMD.EXE seems to recognize most if not all. Thanks guys, its working smoothly.

Yes, this works but not with the original Win98 command.com. It works when I run it in cmd.exe, which is win95cmd.exe renamed. Thanks and sorry for wasting your time.

No, they don't work. they keep deleting FILE.THREE/IRFTP.EXEI'm on using Win98 BTW.

@ECHO OFF IF NOT EXIST %WINDIR%\SYSTEM\NSCIRDA.SYS DEL %WINDIR%\SYSTEM\IRFTP.EXE IF NOT EXIST %WINDIR%\SYSTEM\SMCIRDA.SYS DEL %WINDIR%\SYSTEM\IRFTP.EXE CLSThis way is wrong because it deletes IRFTP.EXE before it checks for the next file.

FILE.THREE keeps getting deleted even if FILE.ONE or FILE.TWO exist.

I need a list of every single update and hotfix for Internet Explorer 5.01 SP4. Thank you

The drivers are missing function NdisQueryBufferSafe

IF NOT EXIST FILE.ONE OR FILE.TWO DEL FILE.THREE IF EXIST FILE.ONE OR FILE.TWO DON'T DELETE FILE.THREE Remeber the (OR) because either file can be present. It doesn't need both files, just one or the other.

Yes one or the other. If neither file exist then delete file3. If one or the other file exist, leave file3 alone. Im half sleep. Sorry bout that.

Thanks, but I need it in BATCH format, because WSH is not present at the time. Also your script looks good but it didn't delete the file. I will have a use for it in the future.

A couple of ideas IF EXIST FILE.ONE (IF EXIST FILE.TWO (GOTO :NEXT)) DEL FILE.THREE :NEXT IF NOT EXIST FILE.ONE SET _OR=T IF NOT EXIST FILE.TWO SET _OR=T IF DEFINED _OR DEL FILE.THREE Thanks, but I'm trying to delete FILE.THREE only if FILE.ONE or FILE.TWO don't exist.

I need something similar. IF NOT EXIST FILE1 OR FILE2 THEN DEL FILE3

There is definitely something wrong on your end. It works fine on mine

Netmeeting 3.01 runs on Win9x natively, without the need of any SP, KernelEx etc......I was going to add it to SP, but you seem to be the first to have mention using it in a very long time. What probably happened was, Netmeeting detected NT on your system and installed the NT files instead of the Windows 98 version.

I feel the same way. People are so quick to say gimme and don't give anything back. Some people want it all and most won't even say thank you. Even though I don't use WPI, I'm saying thank you. I know what it feels like to be taken for granted as well as appreciated. We are losing at a rapid pace.

I thought it was the root problem. Apparently I was wrong, it happens, we all make mistakes, but to say I'm only targeting something base on my assumptions and your assumptions, I guess then we are both asses. I guess if someone makes a mistake down the line, they have to be targeting something specific. Thanks again!

I'm using KeX 4.5.2 and GOM Player 2.1.43 (build 5119) and haven't got any problem (even small glitches). I presume that issue could be hardware/software related, because of various DLL's, etc. We are not talking about KeX 4.5.2, we are talking about the latest beta. I agree, we all use different hardware and software, so it can be a number of things. I was referring to the latest beta. It would be nice for the guys who like to give feedback, to read all of the post and stop cherry picking specifics. No one is talking about 4.5.2

Thanks rloew. Great feedback. I think you guys are missing what I'm saying. I will say it for the last time, if you don't get it, its time to move on. I know VKRNLEX.VXD is the CORE of KEX. I'm not saying anything BAD about it. I was able to reproduce some of Drugwash bugs. Its was cause by VKRNLEX.VXD. It might be a BAD line of code or whatever. Everyone thinks I'm out to get KEX. If you install KEX with GOM, the version Drugwash uses, and you click on about GOM player, and click any tab, the system will hang. No three finger solute helps it. You have to power down. When I deleted VKRNLEX.VXD, the problem went away. That being said, there is a bug in the particular VKRNLEX.VXD file. How hard is that for users to comprehend. All someone has to do is look in VKRNLEX.VXD and see whats causing the problem. Sometimes people make things more complicated than what they need to be.

For MemPanel, it was because of GetForegroundWindow_fix, I removed it from window.c, it retrieves the current foreground window from the thread's desktop current foreground window. But the foreground on the desktop is only changed by a call of SetForegroundWindow_fix, and not from the USER's window manager directly. GOM Player is like messed up on my side anyway, when I install it, it fails to call DllRegisterServer with "Could not load: GVF.ax, but I can still run it, however there are no languages, every strings are dashes. Do you mean you can extend the SP with extensions ? KernelEx is a separate package, and actually it has many incompatibilities, so you shouldn't. And I'm glad we're back to normal talk Yes, I mean the SP. I mean updated system components addons whatever name you want to give it etc.....I meant this would be in the future once everything is stable. I found the GOM bug. I did this for you Drugwash. The bug is in VKRNLEX.VXD. I deleted this file, rebooted, got an error saying VKRNLEX.VXD was missing, blah blah. But the about GOM tabs worked. Also when you log off and re-log on, the system tray icons are missing. Also get a missing function with NETAPI32.DLL:NetGetDCName. I also got the DllRegisterServer you got Leyok.

I know we are all in different time zones, but Drugwash and Ley0k, I think we can probably get something going. I think we should grab a few testers from each one of our ends and work behind the scenes, since so many users are $h!+ starters. Its hard for any of us to focus when you have people in denial. You guys can get exclusive SP updates for testing. I wish rloew would chime in. He is a great programmer as well. He don't like all this taking sides and fighting and bickering. I don't either, but I'm not backing down and I wouldn't expect anyone else too either. Enough ranting. You guys let me know how you feel and we can go from there. If all goes well, I can extend the SP with extensions. I'm ready when you are. It really helps when users have multiple systems, so no one messes up their main one.

I never really had a problem with you. I do forgive you because I don't know how to hold grudges and hate a person. Remember, when you have people like LoneCrusader and loblo who constantly adding fuel to the fire, we are always going to have problems. This forum has there favorites and them 2 are not mines and I know I'm not theirs. I apologize for disrespecting you on another forum and bad mouthing you since MSFN don't allow us to express our frustrations. So will you forgive me? I can work with you. In case you didn't know, I do have a lot of friends behind the scenes. I do respect you as a man, and it took courage to admit when you are wrong. We both was wrong. Lets learn from this and not let others break our unity and have us competing with each other.
