Windows 98 SE: i need some patches\hotfixes...

[Joaquim]

1 - can i install the Nero Burning Rom 8? i get an installer update error(that i must update it)
i must use KernellEx and change it for Windows XP or i can't open..
2 - if i startup the Windows 98 SE, with Flash Drive(Pen), the computer freezes on startup(but not with External Disk)... is there a patch\hotfix for it?

PS: if we use more than 500MB's of RAM, we must use the Memory Patch for avoid memory errors.. i tested  and i have 1GB of RAM.

Why you want to use Nero 8? Nero 7.2.7.0 is latest for 98SE and should be enough for CD/DVD tasks.
I had long startups (not total freezes though) when booting 98SE with USB Flash Drives plugged in, I don't use USB drives to move files anymore, I use WinSCP and FTP to my main PC. Don't know of any fixes for this, can try different USB Flash Drive drivers/and or USB 2.0 drivers (from R. Loew and SweetLow)

Have you tried Windows ME? I am not sure but maybe it doesn't have that USB Flash Drive startup delay...

[Joaquim]

not tried on Windows ME.. just on Windows 98 SE...
news: i fix some bugs on my acer aspire 1690:
1 - finally i fix some problems with a different audio drivers and not force install them.. avoiding more the Blue Screen;
2 - i use 1GB's, but for avoid some memory messages errors, i use the memory patch;
thanks for all

Nero 8 is probably untested with (latest) KernelEx, so there is no workaround.

[Joaquim]

Insulate the problem point by bootlog.txt 

[Joaquim]

that file stays where?
when freezes, i must press the turn off button by some seconds for, after, turn on without the usb flash drive

[SweetLow]

It's one of the startup options for booting system - Logged. And I assume there is descriptions in the Internet.

I always remove the flash drive before shutting down. On start the flash drive messes up my partition order, so that my desktop partition shortcuts no longer work. I can't remember, if there where other start problems.

The bootlog should be directly in partition C.
