I am not using KernelEx or Pale Moon, just the portable version of New Moon. I also have UURollup installed which might make a difference.

UURollup implies KernelEx, just less updated.

You may try running PM27 on vanilla 2000 SP4 with updates from Windows Update, but not UURollup, and it should not work (since msvcr120.dll requires XP functions)

i was wondering how that most recent updated test binary of k-meleon 74 you listed compares with firefox 31.8.0 esr, more specfically for youtube as another forum member posted saying youtube worked on that k-meleon 74 version you listed but on windows me? i noticed just recently that apparently not all videos will play on windows 2000 with the extended kernel using firefox 31.8.0 esr, it mentions a html5 related error, i only tried two videos, one displayed the error message and the other didn't and played fine. 

i was wondering if that k-meleon browser would work on windows 98SE with kernelex? it would be nice to use that k-meleon browser on windows 2000 if it doesn't require the extended kernel, that way, one can substitute the extra space for other official updates such as in my case of having all contents a bit less than 670 MB after burning on a cd, i realized the only program i only really needed more modern from the extended kernel for windows 2000 was the web browser firefox 31.8.0 esr, i don't think i needed anything else per say.

Yes, that version doesn't require kernelex on windows 2000, it works also with vanilla one... As for windows 98, it requires the kernelex to work.

EDIT: Also, HTML5 videos will work fine.

nice, i actually tested it out right now on windows 2000, although extended kernel was installed, youtube videos worked fine and all content on the page loaded fine, has a 720p option to watch videos in hd which isn't bad or auto / 360p. i will need to test it on windows 98SE next with kernelex, the only things left are NT4 and windows 95, there is of course an existing NT4  api project in the makings to allow newer web browsers, w95 supposed for later.

hmm..., well i just tested k-meleon 74 with the goanna 2.2 web browser and it didn't work / launch on 98SE with kernelex 4.5.2 installed, mentioning failed to initialize. perhaps what you meant on k meleon working on windows 98SE with kernelex was the non goanna 2.2 combined browser / and / or an older version?

You need to install the last kernelex from jumper,KernelEx 4.5 Core Updates and set compatibility to at least windows 2000 sp4

well i did some changes here and there but encountering different issues, i am working on the compaq presario m2000 laptop ( EC214UA#ABA) with 98SE installed and before, i was not able to even get the pci card modem or ethernet to install, but now i have, which i suspect may have to do with using a newer smbus driver, 5.10.1000.7 vs 5.10.1000.4 that i was using before. 

i have not tested the modem, even though it has a wdm and voice modem entry, as for the ethernet, firefox went to google but gave an error listed below -

"could not initialize the applications' security componenet. the most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory. please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. it is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem. if you continue to use this session, you might see incorrect application behavior when accessing security features". 

i had installed "KernelEx 4.5.2016.17" full installer from the link provided by "ABCDEFG" in the other thread, when i set k meleon 74 with goanna 2.2 to 2K sp4 MODE for kernelex, it was able to lauch, however it also gave that earlier that i mentioned above, as a result of both, i can only get into the homepage but no further than that. 

i noticed that before, i used the initial kernelex 4.5.2 installer + the verify 2016.17 update which was a entirely different package than the ones i saw provided in the other thread which i thought was odd, also the release notes, after applying the full installer 2016.17 kernelex, it only lists up to like 2015 or so, which i also find weird. 

i am not sure what exactly the problems are, i think it could have to do with a combination of both software / driver and bios related issues, causing hardware / driver / software problems.

Yeah, probably... It works for me.

can you please tell me what kernelex version you use / which one you downloaded, like i was pointing out earlier, it is confusing to find out which exact updates to use. i currently have a package on hold named "KernelEx 4.5.2016.17" which apparently is the latest kernelex and all previous updates all in one, and i also downloaded the package with the name of "KexBeta.17", the "KexBeta.17" package differs from the existing one in my archived contents in that it reads 4.5.2016.17 when you hover over the verify application file vs 4.5.2016.16 with the existing file i have in my archive but also the archived one i already have does not have "VKrnlEx.vxd" in the newer package and i think some different file names. 

my bigger question is what is the purpose of the packages with verify in them if the "KernelEx 4.5.2016.17" is supposed to be a full package with all updates already in it?

I'm using this one, from the open post... Just replace them in the kernelex folder.

but isn't that just an update and not the actual kernelex program? 

You have to install first the kernelex 4.5.2 and then replace the files. It's an update. From now, send me a PM if you need help because this is the topic of windows 2000.

No, please keep it public, other people have an interest too.
Too bad KM74-goanna doesn't has its own topic, so it's now shattered across various others, very disorganised.
Here's one especially for Win9x:
