hacked tcpip.sys / language version

[mmainio]

Hi,

Is tcpip.sys different in Finnish version Win Xp Pro than in English version - I mean when Finnish version of xp2 comes out can I use the hacked tcpip.sys to replace the original one?

I think tcpip.sys is in all language the same. I have a german OS and tcpip.sys is exactly the same as in english OS. tcpip.sys contains no language informations. You can use the hacked tcpip.sys to replace.

They could be the same, but you can't be sure enough.

The newest TCPIP.SYS (5.1.2600.2505) was exactly the same size as the one that came with SP2, but they had different checksums, and the code was slightly different.

I suggest you get the TCPIP.SYS for your language and do those patches yourself.

The tcpip.sys in SP2 is in german as in englisch exactly the same file and update of tcpip.sys (2505) is also exactly the same file in both. tcpip.sys contains NO language informations, so it is the same file in all language versions of SP2 and in the update to 2505.

@ Kleopatra,

If you take your german TCPIP.SYS, and right click it, Properties, Version [Tab], what does it say for language? English or German?

I have the german update. If you want use update file you need the coorect update for your language. If want only update tcpip.sys you must extract the file tcpip.sys and than you can use it. The included single file tcpip.sys is in all updates the same. It has language english.

You get also an error with german update file, because it has different language in installer to your OS. You need the included tcpip.sys and not the installer in wrong language. If you wish I can post the german update or the not patched tcpip.sys.

@enuffsaid

Thanks Kleopatra. I don't use Dutch myself, so I can't check.

BTW, is the TCPIP.SYS the ONLY file that's updated with this update?

Yes, it's ONLY updated tcpip.sys. No more other files or registry keys.
