LightScribe not compatible with Win9x ?! So there's one more reason for me to stick with LabelFlash. It can burn labels on the data side of DVD media, for the label side you'll need a specific Fuji media though. And the only software needed for it is a newer version of Nero.

Doesn't "invalid instruction" mean an opcode not supported by the CPU ? Like MMX, SSE, 3DNow, etc. ? I've seen an MMX emulator "driver" some time ago. Although too slow for general use, it should clarify this. Unfortunately, i don't remember where i found it. Try Google.

The CD should be set as "Auto" in BIOS. Connect 1st HDD as primary/master, 2nd HDD as secondary/master, and the CD as secondary/slave. Make sure the jumpers on these are properly set. Now go in BIOS Setup and auto-detect the HDDs. Probably the CD won't be detected. Set the rest (primary/slave and secondary/slave) to "Auto", save the settings, reboot. Examine the POST screen while booting (use the Pause key if necessary) The BIOS should show something like "Secondary Slave : <CD drive model>" If it does, then everything is fine. However, if it doesn't and Win98 doesn't detect the CD too, consider putting both HDDs on the primary controller. You could also try looking for a BIOS update. Write down the number you see at the bottom of the POST screen and look it up on the net to find the exact mobo model, etc.

Remote Desktop, Remote Administrator (not free), Hamachi, and a dozen more... pick whatever suits you. HTH

I'd like to ask this too. I've tried with LordPE, but the modified program crashes on startup

To manually remove a device, start up Regedit and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Enum\. Search for exactly the same name you see in Device Manager, and remove the whole key (folder) which contains it. Then reboot to unload the drivers. For example, to remove my IDE controller i should delete the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Enum\PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_0571&SUBSYS_05711106&REV_06\BUS_00&DEV_07&FUNC_01 key which contains the value "VIA Bus Master PCI IDE Controller", and the child devices in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Enum\MF\

As the topic says, how one could create a dummy DLL file to replace an NT/XP DLL for use on Win9x ? Like the PSAPI.DLL replacement which was floating around. I'm currenly using the freeware TVUPlayer. The executable seems to be Win9x compatible, but it uses a debuging DLL CrashCatcher.dll which imports OpenThread from Kernel32.dll. My first try was to replace this function with CreateThread by hex-editing the file. Of course, it didn't worked because the function name length is different which messes up the DLL. I've looked at Kernel32.dll exports, and choose the DeleteAtom function (what's this?!?) which has the same name length as the original one. Currently the player works fine But i'd preffer to create a dummy replacement for CrashCatcher.dll, as it seems to not be needed for proper function of the program and just wastes resources. The problem is that i don't know how, my last (serious) programming attempts were on my Apple //e clone. A quick guide would be best (LLXX, Tihiy ?) Thanks in advance. P.S. I'd preffer mingw over VC++

There is a driver for Win2K on the Asus site, you could try to manually install it and see what happens. Here is the direct link for the driver. HTH

A wrapper to allow usage of XP drivers in 9x would be nice

I just found this: nouveau : Open Source 3D acceleration for nVidia cards Seems to be for Linux driver, but contains some useful info.

Get WindowsMedia9-KB891122-x86-INTL.exe from this page, install it and see if it works.

As a lot of IE parts are shared within the OS, it'll probably work. Just try, it's not a rocket science to install an IE component

WindowsMedia9-KB840648-x86-ENU.exe Supported Operating Systems: Windows 2000; Windows Server 2003; Windows XP No wonder it doesn't work

Ah, that's what I originally read. It seemed a bit complicated, though. Can Win95 be automatically booted with this (unless I do some other selection)? Sure it can. See this. The upper-left window is where you add partitions to boot. There you need to put a check mark on "Default boot item" for the Win95 entry, and set the "timeout" slider to a desired value. You could check the XOSL site for some explanations. Actually it needs either to be installed on the MBR or on a floppy

Japanese support for IE might help. It's available on the windows update site.

You could use LILO or another boot manager. If you decide to go with LILO make sure it defaults to Win95 and set a timeout for automatic boot. The other way is: Install Linux to a another primary partition, put LILO to that partition instead on the MBR, and install XOSL defaulting to Win95. XOSL can also boot a CD, floppy and second/third/fourth HDD, so you wont need go in BIOS to boot those. You'll need a third (smallest size) primary partition for XOSL, but it's worth it. Read this thread for some info on dual-booting with XOSL HTH

Mine almost never prompts. Or, do you mean Scandisk from DOS 6.22 ?

Do you think what you are doing is correct ? As software preservation is concerned, i support LLXX Besides, eidenk, how do you know for sure what he is doing?

Look for SCANDISK.INI in the C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND folder. Read the comments inside, and change the values to whatever suits your taste. HTH

Do you find this beta mail a bit slow ? At least on my Duron@950MHz it feels sluggish.

You don't need FireFox (nor its extensions) at all This is what i managed to do... Opera 9.02 : IE 6 SP1 : Just identify in Yahoo, then open this Enjoy

You could check if SpeedFan is able to slower your fans. HTH

I didn't meant you to install this. I suspected that some program which you already use might include such function Often when using HLT-based CPU cooling program, other (unaware of this) monitoring programs indicate 100% CPU usage for the kernel or the cooling program. Of course, your problem might be entirely different and unrelated.

It's old bug. When it happens again, click somewhere else to change the focus, then point at the icon again. Usually this works. HTH
