KernelEx 4.5.2

[rustweaver]

After thorough investigation, we concluded it's a bug in Win98' user subsystem. It's not KernelEx/RP9 related. You can use user.exe/user32.dll from WinMe to fix it.

That solved the RPConfig issue, but not the Code::Blocks issue. Although they appeared to be related i guess they are not related after all.

But still, thanks a lot.

Google Picasa 3.6 does work with KernelEX 4.5 RC1 in general. But there are some problems. One of them is invisible Tools - Options - General tab.

- default compatibility mode - the language is forced to English, and it is not possible to change it since the Options - General tab is not visible. But, everything else seems to be working fine. While accessing Options an error message dialog appears with "Improper Access" message (the message is always in my local Polish language, I had to translate it from "Niewłaściwe dojście").

- Windows 2000 or newer compatibility mode - the language is automaticaly set to the local one. There are no error message when accessing Options dialog. The initial settings are not remembered. So, Picasa asks for them at every run. The file exploration does not work.

It seems the Picasa 3 is the only completely free application (all others are just free for noncommercial use), able to print large bitmaps (over 16MB in size) in Windows 98, with Polish language support. The only problem is I can not turn the Polish language on, without sacrificing other functions.

I've installed the Picasa 3.6 in the Windows XP SP2 compatibility mode. The first run in the same mode worked correctly with the proper (Polish) language.

But, then I tried to change the options. After that the Picasa returned to English, and the file exploration stopped working. I can change the language back to Polish, but exploration stopped working for good.

There is some problems with the configuration changes of the Picasa 3.6 in Windows XP compatibility mode. Just change Options once and the settings are getting messed up. Reinstallation is required, to make file exploration work again.

Could you please add support for World of Warcraft (after patch 3.3.5a)

"The WOW.exe file is linked to the 
missing export Kernel32.DLL:CreateFiberEx"

Is there a way to donate from Bulgaria without having a credit card?

We'll try, but can you please explore all missed dependancies (with depends)? Because it'll take much time to download and patch by ourselves.

Hi Xeno86 and/or Tihiy,

I tried to install MS viewers 2003 but without success - except Powerpoint viewer (this one installed and run OK). When I run the setup of Word or Excel viewer, I get the message:

The specified program requires a newer version of Windows.

When I set the compatibility for setup.exe, another message appears:

This program has performed an illegal operation

and will be shut down.

If the problem persists, contact the program

vendor.

When I click the Details, one can see following data:

SETUP caused an exception c06d007fH in module

Please could you give me a hint for successful instalation/runing of the viewers?

I have Win98SE (fresh installed) and KEx 4.5 RC1.

They won't run.

A month ago I wrote:

After installing KernelEx 4.5 RC1 each time I run Windows 98 Second Edition (Polish version) I get the message: "Błąd przy uruchamianiu programu Uruchomienie pliku KEXBASEN.DLL jest niemożliwe. Sprawdź plik, aby rozpoznać problem." ("The kexbasen.dll cannot start. Check the file to determine the problem.")

As it turned out later, I had understood the words of the error message: "The kexbasen.dll cannot start. Check the file to determine the problem." completely inversely to their actual meaning, wrongly seeing in them information about problem with launching KernelEx. That message had been really informing about inability to use KernelEx to open one of the programs launched in the autostart mode during starting the Windows system, and the KernelEx itself was fuctioning properly then.

It ist highly possible that the identical incident occured to fortcollis (posted 23 june 2010); in my opinion (Xeno86 please correct me if necessary) the discussed error emerges from the attempt to use KernelEx before it is even fully opened - in practice it applies surely to one (or more - if the message appears many times) of the programs launched in autostart. This program, due to appearance of the error, rather won't start.

In my case it was enough to use "Disable KernelEx extensions" in properties (in "Compatibility" lap) of the program to which error applies to: I think that it will be just like that in other people's cases.

---------- For the developers ----------

Here is the file required about WoW.exe dependencies.

WoW_3.3.5a_dependencies.rar

[Tihiy]

support for World of Warcraft (after patch 3.3.5a)

Unfortunately support for WoW battle.net.dll is complicated because of its heavy use of code obfuscation. This is the target for future KernelEx version.

Heyho,

I just dropped in because I've recently had some problems with some programs...

To be more precise,

its a 3d-surface-generator, "k3dsurf" ( k3dsurf.sourceforge.net ) , is someone willing to try it, plz??

for me it works best with the win2000-config. but not always... after a restart I sometimes get graphical problems, and it seems I am missing some fonts, can someone confirm that??

other things are

Inkscape and Synfig ,two drawing-progs..

they work best in win2000-mode as well.

in XP-mode I get errors causing a crash. For example just try a right-click in Inkscape..

Its a Gtk+ error, thats all I can say. Might there be a solution?? Or what is this telling me, since I'm not a programer..

Btw. whats you guys favourite drawing-program (2d-, 3d, CAD-)??

Greets Flipp

K3DSurf is a buggy application who never worked too properly AFAIK, I am not sure it can be fixed with KernelEx tbh, version 0.6 which I have installed is sort of workable though.
