You make a good point. The date I gave to backdate was just an example. I don't have to use that specific date. But people have been having problems with the SP, maybe because of files conflicting with each other. I think we should all be on the same page. LoneCrusader made a great point. There should be the original version and only one modded version. IMO your patches for files has yet to let me down. So there is always room in the SP for your files. Semi off-topic If erpdude8 patched Explorer.exe and didn't disclose the specifics of what he patched he must have had good reason and for MDGx to allow it on his site. Everything does not need to be advertised or broadcast. If people feel insecure about using modded files then they shouldn't use any modded files.

It depends on the flags that are used. That's why a lot of files inside the SP doesn't install because of their flags. If some files don't exist on your system SP will NOT install the updated files. It varies from file to file and the importance of that file.

More reason to backdate them. Example: If you just patched IO.SYS a year ago and I backdate all unofficial files, the service pack will not override your files because they would be considered new. Your recent files will stay untouched. Its only about 25 files I need to do this to. Another reason is everybody using different versions of Explorer.exe + other files. Me backdating modded/unoffical files is considered somewhat a safety precaution. Most unofficial files came out after support ended.

It might be a hardware problem. I went through the same thing on my dell latitude c600. It would install ok, but after a few shutdowns it would start looping at the splash screen. I removed the cd/dvd drive and all is better. Of course I replaced the dvd drive with a cd drive.

After doing a WDMCHECK for QV2KUX.SYS, I got module has no missing import links. If you can add the drivers and send me the updated USBSTOR.INF, I can test this over the holidays. I'm going to borrow a casio/canon digital camera just for testing purposes. Thanks

Here's a newer version of USBVIEW.EXE http://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Utilities.htm I have not tested.

My next USB flash drives I buy will be 2 crucial 16GB Gizmo! Crucial is great, all my computers has their memory. Never had any problems with them.

The usb is cheap. I got it working though. I will never buy another PNY usb. I has to force it then jiggle it til it started to load.

yes

Thanks but it don't work. The USB itself is 2.0 so it doesn't look in the USBSTOR.INF, it looks in the USB.INF or USB2.INF.

Now you guys can choose the modded version since NO ONE is using the original Maybe someone can combine all the modded version to the original. This could be one reason many of us have problems with our system. Too many modded versions. I'm positive we are all not using the same version. ================================================== Filename : EXPLORER.EXE Original MD5 : 2e52fd906097acb2adae3e7e9380f921 SHA1 : 3100b44587982f15b4e0163748c1a301fbddf79b CRC32 : 69912e1e SHA-256 : cf26998a095e547052af5dd47858d312cb44e1e3dea92c859a4f7a485a1c87fd SHA-512 : 53c6eac94a2dba5e6890e32c4b6823f37bbaf58dc1141ef4f50e54fea3b1bd77f7473e022ed92de4c7a14a2392759ac557961d4a9c18769e011eb152ed2b89d7 Full Path : C:\TEMP\EXPLORER.EXE Modified Time : 3/16/1999 11:43:06 AM Created Time : 12/20/2011 7:30:39 PM File Size : 171,280 File Version : 4.72.3612.1700 Product Version : 4.72.3612.1700 Identical : Extension : exe File Attributes : A ================================================== ================================================== Filename : EXPLORER.EXE modded by dencorso MD5 : 7592a203dbe52197be9731dd14ba19ce SHA1 : ba7f975ef1d5d40792a92c965d166207104fcad5 CRC32 : f7197660 SHA-256 : 9bba0cc0aa6975821fbe249bedd41ea26645fea9e85f7fdc2927ed8b90632112 SHA-512 : 3d2814cac4948951ee89fd1ff12caba724ae5f7cd646b055bf1b70b9a5898aa5ded113f5bd1420d63bb43cb4dc035d116546760eda674b8ddf46048f86dfaa3e Full Path : C:\TEMP\EXPLORER.EXE Modified Time : 12/20/2011 7:29:56 PM Created Time : 12/20/2011 7:29:56 PM File Size : 171,280 File Version : 4.72.3612.1705 Product Version : 4.72.3612.1700 Identical : Extension : EXE File Attributes : A ================================================== ================================================== Filename : EXPLORER.EXE modded by erpdude8 MD5 : 6c7f9111965a6ccc06819248579c6702 SHA1 : a561b510cdf45abca34afc49a2047f1de8e0506e CRC32 : 9501e425 SHA-256 : 2451ddd4b8d5a73149ec0591dc5f6b1a135f6487d65c925c3e03af007a8b1dfd SHA-512 : 695617bf6e3c2f506ed06aa586e1bf63d344c4a3584ca174d0fd3935f7a435fe3d125b12150a7865e602bf18eea12d9ee9df5d37887614a72912d213c4f3dc58 Full Path : C:\TEMP\EXPLORER.EXE Modified Time : 7/11/2007 6:25:00 AM Created Time : 12/20/2011 7:58:25 PM File Size : 171,280 File Version : 4.72.3612.1710 Product Version : 4.72.3612.1710 Identical : Extension : EXE File Attributes : A ================================================== ================================================== Filename : EXPLORER.EXE modded by Gape MD5 : 9d8796311c1cabb9630e0b07b1996d0d SHA1 : 5f83c9787eb8bd1a9d8c4f58f790578fdf22b1a4 CRC32 : de2c1837 SHA-256 : 3ef36354fd6a57c14a01798fd5ea455865e57bb4d16f95f152f05625c2e1097f SHA-512 : 42199c5d1be7ca91298627eed7ff76082a669140e23b868a631c8c0bde8f83f62a473ad23205f2efa86533d158e85e5ee3e210be59cae87c9e76e6e953208df1 Full Path : C:\TEMP\EXPLORER.EXE Modified Time : 7/11/2007 6:25:00 AM Created Time : 12/20/2011 8:17:23 PM File Size : 171,280 File Version : 4.72.3612.1710 Product Version : 4.72.3612.1710 Identical : Extension : exe File Attributes : A ==================================================

Thank you both for the input, but I'm going to patch the Shell32.dll because it easier.

Thanks, I'm hoping maybe someone can improve the patch listed below by

Updated

I'll fix it. What do you guys think about all modded and patched files having the time and date backdated to July 11, 2006, 12:00:00 AM since this was the day support ended for Win98SE. All modded and patched files comes from here or MDGx site. We will all be using the same version just different time stamps. Then we all would know the exact origins of those files. Just a thought
