  1. GetGlythIndicesW should be GetGlyphIndicesW... it's a 2k+ API, doesn't look too easy to implement... Process32FirstW and Process32NextW are just W (unicode) versions of APIs that have existed since Win95, so interfacing them to the existing A versions should not be too difficult (quick Unicode conversion: delete every second byte from the string).
  2. I'm not aware of any. It'd make sense that 98se APIs would be a superset of the 95/98fe ones, considering backwards compatibility is very good in the 9x line.
  3. You have not optimised your TCP parameters. XP comes with the TCP parameters set for best performance in broadband connections, but when 98se first came out broadband was not as common as it is now, so the TCP parameters are more conservative and better for dial-up use.I can saturate my 10Mbps cable (real speed ~1.1MB/s) easily in 98se with a download manager like FlashGet. The best setup IMO is a dualboot - I have 98se *and* XP Pro on separate HDDs, and can switch between them whenever needed. I still mainly use 98se though, the XP being reserved for running programs that absolutely demand it.
  4. Kill the MRUs. Delete completely the whole subkey: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StreamMRU and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams (Explorer will recreate StreamMRU and Streams when it restarts)
  5. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...b;en-us;Q257751 That is probably the Microsoft USB Mass Storage driver they mention. Actually what I would do is try plugging the card into the port, to see if it can be recognised by any existing UMS drivers you may have installed. Then try downloading the other drivers on the sandisk site for their other USB drives, what I've found is that all USB Mass Storage drivers are similar but can be coerced to work with similar types by adding new device IDs in the INF file. Maximum Decim is basically a generic driver with an INF file that includes many device IDs.
  6. Borrow another computer to put the hard drives in as secondaries, to see if you can read the data from them.
  7. How to install many fonts quickly. Open a cmd prompt and type: for %a in ( *.ttf ) do copy %a %windir%\fonts Maybe you should add an action "Command Prompt Here" instead... very useful.
  8. You should also Disable all network adapters in the Device Manager other than the one that you are actually using, otherwise it causes some confusion as well as slows down boot time a bit.

    FilterKeys

    FilterKeys... I think it's one of the most useless features there is. Having it enable by "parking" on the shift key for 8 seconds is equally stupid, since resting on the shift key is something I should be able to do! At a computer lab I worked at, we'd frequently recieve reports of "bad keyboard" when it was actually FilterKeys! I think uninstalling the accessibility utilities will remove it.
  10. I remember suggesting to another member here a few weeks ago to downgrade to a lower version and it fixed his problem... he tried 6 but it didn't work, 5 worked perfectly. I've been using 5.x for quite some time with no problems at all. The quality of Adobe's programs is going downhill...
  11. Maybe they've closed some ports?
  12. Torrents and P2P also work best with a fast upload rate.
  13. What process on your machine is making those connections? Get rid of it. You should redirect downloads.aaa1screensavers.com to 0.0.0.0 with the HOSTS file while solving this problem.
  14. Is that a Server case?
  15. Quite a coincidence that I actually have one of these. Original version was written sometime in the early 1990s, this one is a mod from 1996. It added ability to switch between LPT1/LPT2/LPT3/LPT4 (left and right arrow keys). LPTEST.EXE
  16. Make sure you have default gateway set to the router's IP. Do ipconfig /renew from command prompt to see if DHCP is working correctly.
  17. What else does it have?
  18. Redownload and reinstall the C++ runtime libraries?
  19. Download the PDF and *then* open it, does that also cause this problem? I suggest you go to version 6 of Acrobat, or even lower, unless you are specifically using PDF features that are not supported in the older versions.
  20. Ok the translator isn't working too well, but what he's asking about is when is version 1.0 going to come out.
  21. I think you have a hardware problem... if you were able to access the memory after flashing then the firmware probably was the right one.
  22. Then don't leave the keyboard plugged in during boot!
  23. Too late if you've restarted. Otherwise, if the command prompt is still open, the up-arrow button will recall previously entered commands.
  24. .NET is one of the most bloated runtimes I've ever seen. I just stay away from anything that uses .NET.
  25. ...or you could change the version number it returns, that should get it to work... I don't think they implemented any new functions in DOS 8.00, other than removing pure DOS mode.
