I can do 2 and 3 without issues. But I can't replace InitializeCriticalSectionEx with InitializeCriticalSectionAndSpinCount. If I try it in CFF Explorer which I usually use to modify imports, it fails. New string is too long and can't fit in import table. If I try it with HEX replace all other imports are broken after then. What tool have you used to fix this import please? EDIT: I have only one idea how to achieve it. Delete both import in CFF Explorer and then manually select needed functions from list and rebuild import this way. This will be hard as there are 152 imports from kernel32.dll in x64 MSVCRT Edited October 6, 2022 by George King 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anton12 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Hello blackwingcat, thanks for your answer. System: P3 with i815 Disabled SSE2 yes Sorry,as I have discovered now I should have been more specific. Opera 12.18 on "Windows2000-KB935839-v31eM-x86-ENU.wlu" won't work (crash) with the following URL: https://www.google.de/advanced_search? https://www.google.de However Opera 12.18 on "Windows2000-KB935839-v30fM-x86-ENU.wlu" has no problems with the above URL. RoyTam1 browsers St52 , K-Meleon , NM28 , Firefox work ok with v30fM and v31eM when visiting the above google URL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anton12 Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 (edited) Hello blackwingcat, The following setup options for v30fM and v31eM are activated (all others off): Disable Vista MUI Disabled SSE2 NT5 Series 5.81 Series StringEx funtions ApplicationRecovery funtions ConditionVariable funtions InitOnce funtions The following crash messages are given: opera.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program. An error log is being created. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DrWatson fatal error DR. Watson was unable to attach to the process. It is possible that process exited before Dr. Watson could attach to it. Windows 2000 returned error code=5 Access denied ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Opera Another user is running this copy of Opera. You should install Opera with individual profiles to allow multiple users to run the same copy independently. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I should add that W2K with "Windows2000-KB935839-v31eM-x86-ENU.wlu" is installed with FAT32 - not NTFS.

anton12 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Hello blackwingcat, Thank you very much, opera 12.18 now works with fixed v31fM. However, I just discovered problems with notepad and wordpad with v31eM and v31fM - but v30fM works fine. When closing notepad or wordpad after having worked on a document the following happens: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notepad The text in the Untitled file has changed Do you want to save the change ? [] [] [] (Y) [] [] [] (N) [] [] [] [] [] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wordpad Save changes to Document ? [] [] [] (Y) [] [] [] (N) [] [] [] [] [] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Instead of squares ([]) and (Y) and (N) it should read: [] [] [] (Y) [] [] [] (N) [] [] [] [] [] Yes No Cancel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible to localize it manually by using Resource Hacker, but I don't remember which .dll has this particular dialog box template stored in it.
