I don't know why they dump this triedit.dll file at this location as it just would be better located in the system dir IMO. That's where mine is. It's a COM object, it can go anywhere. It just needs to be registered.

The triedit.dll file does NOT get installed into the System folder on my WinME and my WinXP desktop machines as I've checked there.

If you install Internet Explorer 5.x/6.x (or Win2000, ME, XP or 2k3) which bundles the the triedit.dll file, IE's setup installer puts it in the \Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\TRIEDIT\ folder which is where it belongs.

and besides, IE uses the triedit.dll file from that location.

I have never said it was installed in the sys dir. I am just saying that triedit is in the sys dir on my system because I MOVED IT AND REGISTERED IT THERE.

and besides, IE uses the triedit.dll file from that location.

IE is going to use it from wherever it is registered.

Hi Guys,

I am new to this forum, where can I download the ME service pack? The links to beta 3 and earlier have timed out and I can’t find the link to beta 4,

T.I.A

that's because the_guy did NOT actually post up beta 4 of the ME SP yet. I'll contact him immediately and have him post it up whenever he is ready.

About Unicode Support (MSLU) in Win ME.

MSLU can be downloaded from here http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=14851 (v1.1.3790.0).

I think its already included, i'm not 100% sure. Is it already included (latest version) ?

unicows.dll

some type of free software for supporting the DOUBLE BYTE unicode characters, can be included in future releases ?

NATIVE unicode support in Win ME ?

sometype of free software for using multiple code pages in same machine/OS ?

any plan to include the free unicode font for 9X/ME : Bitstream ?

email Bitstream, to get it.

any plan to include Gulim and Gulimche font for Korean language support for ie?

download : http://www.microsoft.com/ie/download/

Reference(s):

answer to ALL these questions is NO!

well too many questions and requests could further delay the release of the next beta of the ME service pack.

I've emailed the_guy and he said he just needs one more thing and it will be online soon.

Note to Tareek: NATIVE unicode support in Windows ME is NOT possible because unicode support for Win9xME systems is LIMITED. If you want FULL Unicode support, use Windows 2000, XP or Vista. Win2k/XP/Vista are fully unicode compliant.

Thanks erpdude8.

Some time before, (I) needed better unicode support in Win ME, for my old machines (overclocked) (right now i have 2), (now they are Servers). Then i realized, if those tools are readily available, then many one's could have still use the old machines with the newer soft (which are still released for Win9x/ME).

At the beginning, wasn't able to see/read many websites, or, use many soft with unicode character support for document editing, then, further enhancements helped to reach the goal. (I) needed unicode support mostly for viewing unicode characters, writing/editing documents with unicode characters, etc.

PCs were much faster with ME than XP. One PC (have three partitions, DOS, Linux, ME, XP,) i use for surfing the net and soft test, already contains MSLU, opencow.dll, reg-hack, etc for unicode support. Even though by enabling the unicode support, overall performance gets lower, still faster than normal XP. When unnecessary graphics features are temporarily disabled in XP, then XP gives better performance than before, but still cannot beat ME (in many areas, for a old machine, with smaller hard-drive space).

Few more tools mentioned below, if for some reason, "the_guy" or one of you, have enough time to look into these, he/she may include/choose these or something better, in one package. Then, those who needs to make old PCs still effective even in multilingual app/soft areas, can use these tools. Very effective for the users of those countries or in school, which still uses comparatively older PCs.

Unicode Support on Windows 98, ME :

thanks.

oh ... NO :no: ... this posting is big ... bunch of useless info ... may be, it should have been posted in some unicode related thread ... if they are not repetitions :unsure: ...

Nice, but why it is named mesp202en-b4.exe again, the same as the beta released 2 months ago? I see it a bit confusing.

oops, sorry.
