August 21, 201214 yr Thank you, BlackWingCat By the way, I was wrong about SRWare Iron. I've tested it one more time and it does work... but there seem to be a problem in all version of Chromium related to javascript. Processing of javascript freezes in certain situations and the only way to "solve" it is to reopen the problematic tab. I've got no screen shots at the moment so it's a little bit difficult to explain the problem in details but I'll try to prepare them later.
August 21, 201214 yr I would like to say here, Windows Live Messenger 2009 now runs on Windows 2000, however it seems that it cannot connect to the servers. It cancels out with an 80010004 error. While this is no concern for me since I don't use it anymore, it's a step in the right direction for the kernel extension program.Edit: I may have found the reason why it doesn't connect. In the contacts folder which is in the Windows Live folder, wlcomm.exe complains that ordinal 327 cannot be located in dynamic link library OLEAUT32.dll. Whether anyone cares about this or not, I don't know. I would just like to think we could overcome this and be able to use one of the newer version of WLM on Windows 2000. @blackwingcat, if you are at all interested in looking into this issue, I will be more than happy to test it out for you.

August 25, 201214 yr @blackwingcat It seems that we still have a few problems but I did notice a few functions that several programs I've tested out have in common...would it be possible to add these?kernel32.dllFlsAllocFlsGetValueFLSSetValueFlsFreeIsTNTshell32.dllSHCreateItemFromParsingNameSHCreateQueryCancelAutoPlayMonikerSHGetFolderPathExmpr.dllWNetRestoreConnectionAuxtheme.dllDrawThemeTextExadvapi32.dllEventRegisterEventUnregisterEventWriteRegGetValueWmsvcrt.dll_get_terminateThat's some of the more common ones I've noticed. I know it's a tall order but we might make a few breakthroughs if you're able and willing to add those to the kernel extension project.

August 25, 201214 yr Oh, I see. Well, I get these results when I profile programs in Dependency Walker, some aren't Vista+, some of them are programs designed for Windows XP as well, at least the functions in kernel32.dll that I listed pop up. Edited August 25, 201214 yr by SearanoX
August 25, 201214 yr @blackwingcatThese functions:kernel32.dllFlsAllocFlsGetValueFLSSetValueFlsFreeadvapi32.dllRegGetValueWare included in Windows 2003 Server (NT 5.2) too! They aren't NT 6.x only.
August 25, 201214 yr Mpr.dll:WNetRestoreConnectionA exists in Win98se. It is not in my VC5 documentation, so probably does not exist in Win95 nor WinNt 3.51.A few years ago a number of developers reported it missing in this MSDN thread.The answer seems to be Q&A #2 in this Dependency Walker FAQ:Q. Why am I seeing a lot of applications where MPR.DLL shows up in red under SHLWAPI.DLL because it is missing a function named WNetRestoreConnectionA? I also get a "Warning: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in a delay-load dependent module" message.A. Some versions of SHLWAPI.DLL (like the one on Windows XP) have a delay-load dependency on the function WNetRestoreConnectionA in MPR.DLL. Missing delay-load functions are not a problem as long as the calling DLL is prepared to handle the situation. Dependency Walker flags all potential problems as it cannot detect if an application intends to handle the issue. In the case of SHLWAPI.DLL, this is not an problem as it does not require WNetRestoreConnectionA to exist and handles the missing function at runtime. This warning can be ignored. See the "How to Interpret Warnings and Errors in Dependency Walker" section in help for more details.
August 28, 201214 yr Windows Live Messenger 2009 UpdateSo, I was playing around with it again today and after digging a bit, stupid me found something and remembered....they DO have connection testers in the options menu. So, I decided to run them. Running a TCP test, it appears that I can actually connect to the server and data is able to be sent. So, it tells me I can use the messenger service. Well, no, not really. I put the password in and I get the same error saying that the service is temporarily out of commission. However, the connection troubleshooter caught my eye. Ooooh, let's click that! So, clicking on it and running the tests, which only seem to run part way BUT might be a huge breakthrough, it seems as though *for me anyway* that the default gateway test fails. It says that your gateway is offline. Now whether it's my service...or we're just missing a vital kernel extension, I don't know. However, it seems that may be the trouble we're having for getting it to actually connect to the service. Edited August 28, 201214 yr by SearanoX

August 30, 201214 yr Author Silverlight 5.1 works again on Extended kernel .But Download context can't play.I think the reason is that something block network access.
September 2, 201214 yr Author Is there any hope that Silverlight DRM protected content will work too?I think so that because It doesn't create Application Data\Microsoft\PlayReady folder.
September 2, 201214 yr Author I find wlcomm.exe boot from DCOM Launcher Service.But Windows 2000 does not have DCOM Launch Service.How can We launch wlcomm.exe on Windows 2000 ?Windows Live Messenger 2009
