Revolutions Pack 9.7


Recommended Posts


Hi Tihiy,

congratulations for the remarkable version 9.7, you can view the menu properly GoogleEarth 5.1

Greetings and thanks for your superb work

Btw. How did you actually install Earth???

The web-installer doesn't even start (KEX: min. w2000-mode) and the standalone versions 5.1 & 5.2 load (the installer?! even twice..) but then a message appears telling me that it couldn't access some win-installer-services and that this might happen if win runs in save-mode (..I don't).

I just unpacked the installer with 7-zip and found the program, but when I run it, it just crashes after a few seconds.. is there another way??

bye

Thx, setting "-setDX" worked!!... (and after having done this, it even worked without it, but is slower, -why?!)

Is this a general bug with openGL? To me it seems that the 3d-graphics-window is just not refreshed when using openGL!!! (sometimes, when mini- & maximizing the program, or on right-clicks it is refreshed, that why I think so...). Another prog seems to behave just like this, called apophysis.. so is it my fault, or what to do?!

...but I get this after quitting Google Earth:

We recommend using KernelEx 4.5 RC 4, use DirectX mode, my system is fluid in his movements, E5200 cpu 6800gt graphics card. The stability is not comparable to the 4.3 version but has made a big step forward. The version 5.2 does not work. Maybe it's an argument for Xeno86

What is wrong in my computer that Windows Explorer still sorts the files in order (for example):

1.txt, 10.txt, 2.txt (and not: 1.txt, 2.txt, 10.txt) ?

MS Windows 98 SE + KernelEx 4.5RC5 + Revolutions Pack 9.7.0 (with unselected option: "Don't use natural file sorting")

Explorer.exe 4.72.3612.1710

Shell32.dll 4.72.3812.634

Kernel32.dll 4.10.2226

In Windows register:

in key [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] - not exist value "NoStrCmpLogical"

in key [HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] - exist the value "NoStrCmpLogical"=dword:00000000

What else can have influence on file sorting in Windows Explorer?

- Updating icons to XP/Vista-style, only "My Documents"-icon will be updated, but "My Computer" and "Network Area" icons will stay old. I guess this doesn't happen with English version of Win98. (I have Finnish-version.) (Of course they can be manually updated, but of course the program should update them all automatically after changing.)

Copy below text into a file and execute it. Then change themes to refresh.

Tihiy, this is so minor I'm almost embarrassed to report it:

about0.jpg

Unfortunately, I have one of those cheap Intel 82810 graphic cards built-in to the motherboard. It's max setting is 24-bit, but I have to keep it at 16-bit or some problems occur with VLC (version 1.02) and some old DOS proggies. Under RPConfig I have icon-quality set at 16-bit. That's really the only "problem" I've noticed. Obviously, I've blacked out the name.

Seems that natural sorting fails to work with SeparateProcess turned on. Thx for reporting.

Tihiy,

'Natural file sorting' doesn't seem to work here too:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer -> don't have such key

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer -> don't have the value "NoStrCmpLogical"

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced -> don't have the value "SeparateProcess"

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer -> don't have the value "DesktopProcess"

Thanks Tihiy for your excellent work and continued development of Revolutions Pack. It has been working very well on my Win98 SE systems with one persistent annoying bug starting with my initial installation of Revolutions Pack 9.6.5 and continuing in every updated version since. For some reason, the Recycle Bin icon no longer accurately shows its status (empty or full) especially within Windows Explorer. The Recycle Bin icon on the desktop seems to behave more normally most of the time (vs. the Windows Explorer Recycle Bin icon) but I don't think it's 100% accurate either. The Windows Explorer Recycle Bin icon is almost 100% inaccurate after the first filling/emptying of the Recycle Bin (i.e., shows it as empty when it is full and vice versa). I've Googled this problem and tried a host of possible solutions without any luck. It's not a showstopper but it is quite annoying, and it became immediately obvious after my initial installation of RP 9.6.5. Any help or possible solutions would be greatly appreciated!

I know that is not a discussion thread about this, but I just ad vocem; see here:

When writing my post, I thought that I am "guilty" of no "natural sorting" in RP 9.7. In truth, I expected the requirement of cooperation with the relevant Windows files in their respective versions, but I did not know with which files and in which versions.

"SeparateProcess" I really did had turned on, not even remembering about it - but disabling this option, and even complete removal from the Windows registry key, did not help at all.

Which is a injury, because it makes contents of the folder more readable (I know this from Windows XP). :(
