Acheron Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Is it possible with new 98 SE SP to slipstream all updates into original Windows 98 SE source CD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gape Posted November 17, 2004 Author Share Posted November 17, 2004 Is it possible with new 98 SE SP to slipstream all updates into original Windows 98 SE source CD?Only hot-fixes (Main Update) are slipstreamable. It is different from Windows XP's slipstream method. Firstly, you must copy your Windows 98 SE Source CD's WIN98 directory into hard drive (like D:\WIN98). After that, you must only extract SP2.CAB into D:\WIN98. Windows Setup will use these newer fixed files during installation.Note: You can see setup file's (SESP20B2.EXE) contents with Winzip, Winrar or PowerArchiver (Right click - Open with Winzip). SP2.CAB is in the setup file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shuKaru Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Hello !Gape, how about to keep original Windows 98 SE icons. ?The colour scheme from Windows 2000 seems to be fine to me, but I really don`t like the icons.And...how about to replace the original boot logo with Windows 98 Second Edition boot logo.A release date ? [i can hardly wait ... ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gape Posted November 18, 2004 Author Share Posted November 18, 2004 shuKaru,As I said, Windows 2000 desktop icons and Windows 2000 color scheme features will be optional. 2.0 BETA 2 contains a new boot logo as optional feature.All,I have just got 16 new hot-fixes, so I think perhaps there will be a Release Candidate (RC) before FINAL. Sorry about this but we must be sure about these new hot-fixes' compatibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSI Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Gape!I know that vxd fix is myth.Read this please!http://www.infinisource.com/techfiles/vmm32.htmlAnd do you have a 320798 hotfix ?Microsoft Office Documents Open Slowly After You Visit Korean Web PagesThat is only Korean-localized versions of Windows 98 and Windows 98 Second Edition.I'm using Korean-localized versions of Windows 98 Second Edition.If you have a 320798 hotfix, send me email please.My email address is myinbox@empal.com.Thanks.

Gape Posted November 18, 2004 Author Share Posted November 18, 2004 I know that vxd fix is myth.And do you have a 320798 hotfix ?HSI,I read the link, thank you. According to this link, "missing vxd files" is NOT a bug. They are already in the VMM32.VXD. I totally agree.From the link: "M$ says that extracting system files that are rolled into VMM32.VXD will not increase system performance..." I don't agree with M$, sorry. Extracting some VXD files into Windows\System\VMM32 directory improves performance. I made some tests on my system with WinTune and PCPlayer 3D Benchmark, and these benchmark applications say my performance increased approximately %5 after VXD extracting. I know some other people reports similar results.VXD-Fix contains 7 files. Service Pack contains updated versions of 4 of them. So, I already have to install these 4 files into Windows\System\VMM32.I don't have 320798, sorry. Perhaps, you can request it from M$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soldier1st Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 what about adding that task manager for win98 se and replace the windows 98 se one with this one instead?here is the link:http://www.niresoft.com/tm.aspalso would it possible to add the choice of adding or removing the windows 2000 color scheme and icons to the add/remove in the control panel or add it to the windows setup like what 98lite does so that if you make a mistake you can reinstall it without running the service pack?

ujjwal Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Well I think there isn't too much point adding too many 3rd party applications, we can download them anyway ... they merely increase download size My suggestions -1. Conservative Swap file enabled only on systems with 128MB or more RAM ...More later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gape Posted November 19, 2004 Author Share Posted November 19, 2004 ujjwal, with the version 2.0, conservative swap file is in the "Performance Tweaks" option.soldier1st, we can discuss this task manager for 2.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ujjwal Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 Actually I got a good performance increase on a PIII 450 with 128MB RAM with conservative swap usage, but I run on a celeron 266 + 64MB RAM at home Great to see that 2.0 organises updates in such a fashion, good work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soldier1st Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 the AlwaysUnloadDll Registry Trick works wonders for windows 98 se,not very good under 2000 or xp though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
