erpdude8 Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 (edited) Gape, can you hold off in releasing the next release of the 98se SP?See my topic about "CacheWriteDelay" registry value:http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=67785I mentioned there that the REG files delay2.reg, delay4.reg, delay8.reg and nodelay.regshould be added into the next release of the 98se service pack. The Q273017 updatefor Win98 SE installs those four REG files into the 'WINDOWS\INF\QFE\273017' folder.Installing the Win98se service pack creates the "CacheWriteDelay" registry valueand sets it to 2000, which may not be for all Win98se users out there. Some Win98seusers will need to change this value after installing the Win98se SP to something moreappropriate for the size of the HD. Those using small HDs should set "CacheWriteDelay"to 0. Those using very large HDs [137Gb or higher] should set it to 4000 or 8000.The newer U891711 fix for Win98/ME now has KB891711.exe version 4.10.2225 but isdated 10/4/2005, the SAME EXACT date as version 4.10.2224 of the KB891711.exe file fromthe previous release of U891711. Looks like the author of U891711 forgot to changethe date of the newer build of KB891711.exe. I had to make the change so thatversion 4.10.2225 of the KB891711.exe file is dated 2/11/2006 instead of the older datefrom the previous build. that guy needs to do a better job dating and versioning files so that Win98/ME users can easily distinguish between newer and older builds of files.

This file is from the Web Folders KB892211 update and the FP4AWEC.DLL file is installed into the 'Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\40\BIN' folder. Win98se originally has an older version of this file. Edited March 4, 2006 by erpdude8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
