98SE2ME = Killer Replacements: ME -> 98 SE

[PROBLEMCHYLD]

I thought I'd chip in regarding a new banner for 98SE2ME.

Someone mentioned that they'd like to see gold lettering (maybe PROBLEMCHYLD?). I thought that would be a giggle, so I tried. I've attached the result with this post.

This is only a quick job just so that any who is interested can get ideas. If anyone likes the idea, I'll do my best to produce something better, working within the constraints. I'm sure that, with attention, a better job can be made.

The font incidently is Franklin Gothic Demi.

Thats Crucial.

Great Work

I'm jumping on the bandwagon, with a minimalistic banner.

Thanks for trying.

D*ZIP DLLs v5.xx are from current edition of DynaZip tool [shareware] from the DynaZip web site.

I guess they removed support for M$ ZIP Folders.

I think we'll stick with v3.xx in 98SE2ME.

And actually this doesn't matter, because if 98SE2ME detects newer versions, it does not copy the 3.xx ones to %windir%\system .

Thanks.

Here are 3 more variations on the 'gold' theme for a Start menu banner. I've saved these at larger sizes, so boot screens/desktops are a possibility.

Sorry everyone - I promise that this is the last time I pursue this 'gold logo' stuff.

How about adjusting the existing logo to read "98SE2ME Killer Replacements", using the same font (various weights of Franklin Gothic) so that we keep the original style? Maybe I'll attach efforts in that direction, when I have a bit more time. How exciting is that?

PS - these files have 16 colours each, and all have the same dimensions: 21 x 233 pixels (in line with the specs that MDGx gave).

I think WolfX2 artwork would be perfect for a boot logo

and yours bristols would be perfect for the start banner 157-3 .

Thank you guys for lookin through my eyes and seein my visions

only to make 98SE2ME UNTOUCHABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm still waiting for more entries for the Explorer Start menu banner, so I can compare different designs.

So far, I like better the 1 created by jimmsta. Nice work.

jimmsta:

What font did you use?

Thanks.

sorry if this has been covered. a search didnt help me much.

whenever i run the 98toME program, several registry entries are added to my system without asking.

Copy to Folder

Move to Folder

Send To

i've removed these registry entries (they are added to the registry in several locations). i noticed in the README it says it adds these keys, without any Undo/uninstall.

why? my Right Click menu is cluttered enough, and i hate having to re-remove the registry entries every time i run the program.

[PROBLEMCHYLD]

Now that i got my Windows update working again

I get the Q329048 update at the WU site as if the files doesn't register correctly

Now the files are installed and they work

but i just don't understand why i'm prompt to update Q329048

it never did that B 4.

Also I'm using telnet 5.0.1755.2

the version from 98SE2ME is 4.90.3000

and it keeps overwritin my newer version

Can you ad code to all files thats being replace to not overwrite

if they detect newer versions

I have added uninstall option.

Q329048 [WinME zipfldr.dll hotfix] is not a Win98 SE hotfix/update, therefore will not be detected by WU as an installed update, no matter what you do.

The similar update Q329048 for MS Plus! 98 that shows up on the WU list requires to have MS Plus! 98 already installed, otherwise Q329048 from WU can't install.

To my knowledge the registry fix to force zipfldr.dll to install without Plus! 98 only allows zipfldr.dll hotfix to install, but has nothing to do with how WU detects it.

Therefore I don't think there is a fix for this.

And this should not break your setup, because even if WU tries to install [in the background] Q329048 for Plus! 98, it doesn't matter, because you already have the newer 1 from WinME, which should not be replaced.

I have removed TELNET.EXE from 98SE2ME because newer 1 is installed by Win98 SE MS99-033 security fix:

PROBLEMCHYLD:

About adding UPnP to 98SE2ME:

MS already released a UPnP update for 98SE, which is a web only update.

It can be installed on 98SE only if WinXP ICS client is already installed.

But I have added instructions on how to install it on 98SE even without XP ICS client [scroll down to "Microsoft Windows 98/98 SE + ICS UPnP Unchecked Buffer System Compromise SSDPAPI.DLL, UPNP.DLL + SSDPSRV.EXE build 4.90.3003 Security Vulnerability Fix:"]:

[PROBLEMCHYLD]

Thanks for the Upnp tip above.

I have them both installed.

Also can you remove Clipbrd and add Clipbook

because Clipbrd is already functional in clipbook so we don't need both.

Try to consider irmon.exe=infrared monitor

Thanks again

You're welcome.

Thanks for your suggestions.

I will add clipbook.exe in the near future.

I won't remove clipbrd.exe because has different functionality than clipbook.exe, and I bet there are some people who like to use it.

But I'll also add clipsrv.exe , and eventually their help files [CHM, HLP].

I tried to run irmon.exe from WinME [even if I don't have any IR devices on my PC], and I got this error:

"the irmon.exe file is linked to missing export shell32.dll:SHGetFolderPathW"

which is probably present only in WinME shell32.dll.

I'll consider adding irmon.exe only to option 3 [which installs shell32.dll].

I need to do some testing 1st, of course.

-Explorer.exe IS NOT replaced with new banner

-Start button -> Programs -> 98SE2ME -> run "98SE2ME Option 2: Remove ZIP Folders = ZIPFLDR.DLL" - NOT IN START MENU

-Start button -> Programs -> 98SE2ME -> "98SE2ME Option 2: Restore Original Win98 SE System Files" - NOT IN START MENU and no backup in start menu for this, like BACKUP Entire Original .

-Start button -> Programs -> 98SE2ME -> "BACKUP Entire Original Windows 98 SE OS" + "RESTORE Entire Original Windows 98 SE OS" - IS IN START MENU

Sorry about the delay in answering your post, but please install the current 98SE2ME edition:

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=46349

It should fix all errors you reported.

Please see "BACKUP + RESTORE WINDOWS 98 SE" chapter in READ1ST.TXT for all backup + restore options access locations:

You may want to consider Xeno86 KUP If not using it already.

because it add functions shell32.dll:SHGetFolderPathW and a few others its also stable

and yes i finally able to run Windows Movie Maker

I am aware of KUP [KernelXP project], but this is not a candidate for inclusion in 98SE2ME, because as you may already know...

* 98SE2ME is STRICTLY a collection of scripts created with the SOLE purpose to

"automate" the replacement ["transplant"]of WinME system files from WinME

Setup CD CAB files onto your pre-installed Win98 SE OS. 98SE2ME is NOT a

system update, service pack (SP), patch, (hot)fix, upgrade, tweaker etc.

That's why I do NOT include here system files, patches, fixes, mods, tweaks

etc that can be installed from other sources like MS or 3rd party web sites

and/or by MS IE, WMP, Scripting, MDAC, DirectX, Jet, JVM, MSI, DCOM, WMI, HTML

Help, .NET, OLE, VB, VC+ etc and their updates/patches/(hot)fixes/service

packs/etc, or by Gape's SP2, Maximus-Decim's MDCU, Maximus-Decim's NUSB,

Tihiy's RP, Xeno86's KUP etc, UNLESS they are NEEDED by WinME system files

installed by 98SE2ME.

Thanks for the MM tip.

Can you please post here how [step-by-step instructions] you made WinME Movie Maker work with 98SE?

Thanks

Thanks for the MM tip.

I'm not that good with scripts

so what i did was installed Win Me and all its updates copy the Windows Movie Maker folder

to my Removable drive then copied it to my win98SE computer then installed the KUP

and its smooth sailin from their.Works like a charm.
