I can't install usb stuff anymore

As far as i know RPLite can't cause this.
You can try to install RPLite without "Applets Update"
Can you post details about error?
NaCCuRiT
tihiy, I don't get any errors. When I plug in the usb stick or mouse, nothing happens, when I uninstall ur program the my notebook detects a new usb product.

Edit I reinstalled rplite and deselect gebruikersomgeving, the second option of the menu of the setup. I see no difference.

Edit2 look at the attachment,I only installed windows me, ati rage software, windows update, ur software, power dvd.
I formatted 3 times my notebook.... sad.gif

I'm thinking that the problem could be that you are trying to install rplite on a non english windows version...
NaCCuRiT
It's not a reall big problem for me.
What I do is install windows ME, then my usb mouse, usb stick, usb whatever...
then I install rplite, And I can work with the usb devices which are installed before rplite.
When I have a new usb reader/stick I need to deinstall rplite, install the usb and reinstall rplite biggrin.gif

But I can live with it (but it was nice if there was a solution for it, because wmp 9 and directX are broken after reinstall rplite)
Tihiy
Honestly, i don't recommend installing RPLite under ME.
NaCCuRiT
Try to restore sysdm.cpl and setupx.dll after RPLite:
CODE
extract <path to me files>\win_8.cab sysdm.cpl /l %windir%\system
extract <path to me files>\precopy1.cab setupx.dll /l %windir%\system

And that's right, maximus-decim NUSB update is erroneously shown under WinME.

Edit: 'Applets Update' seems to be named '"System" applet update' because translation wasn't updated for RPLite6:
NaCCuRiT
that does make the trick, at the set deselect Applet update (venster systeeminfo).

My notebook is detecting USB products!!!

Thanks again Tihiy thumbup.gif

I have a problem: I have a orginal Windows 98 CD, but i don't have a WinMe CD, if check "no WinME CD", installation is not full, is a partial.

Thanks Tihy!! You seem to work night and day for your project thumbup.gif

I am going to test this on the german Win98SE tomorrow! You released the ME files.. Do we need these files in the upcoming RP7, too? Or have you found another way to get RP7 fully installed (with all the features).

Shell32.dll fix for Explorer lockups with IE 5.xx/6.xx for RPLite 6 (+,++) [English]
http://tihiy.ahanix.org/RP7Shell32.zip

Note: this fix is recreated from latest Win'98 shell32.dll version, not ME version, thus it must be more reliable.
L24
Thanks for WIN ME FILES, Tihiy.

Oh. The problem is, RPLite does not support German 98 unsure.gif . To fix this, you must install English browseui.dll (for example, you can extract it from latest cumulative update: http://www.mdgx.com/files/IE925454.EXE). When installing RPLite, you must select English language in dropdown. ph34r.gif
Or you can install RPl6 without toolbar icons update.

Wow Tihiy what an amazing work you've done!
There is absolutely no mistakes and Rplite is not heavy on my computer free memory.

the menu doesnt open in my ff browser to vote for more stars whistling.gif
so i replaced the browseui.dll and it worked. then the shell32.dll has been copied without problems. after that "docprop.dll Extracting failed" and i had to exit the installer unsure.gif
Tihiy
If it is a bad karma, try this:

extract RPLite6++ archive to c:\RPLite6
copy win_8.cab to c:\RPLite6
specify c:\RPLite6 as path
make sure you haven't used 98Lite/IERadicator and other bul***** to remove extrac32.exe

Ok did I miss a good part of the history (slept like last 20 years) or there is something wrong with this question? biggrin.gif

As far as I know 98 is 32-bit OS? Tihiy please correct me if i'm wrong.

arent win nt3.1+ and 95B+ all 32 bit

I have major issues on setting up the taskbar vertically. However it seems to work when I disable the systray.exe program. Tihiy why don't you disable the launch of systray.exe automaticly on setup, since apparently you won't need it anymore.
Nevertheless great job this time also thumbup.gif

I see you included Shell32.dll ME 5.50.4134.127, however Anonymous Author only released 5.50.4134.120 for Windows. Have you manually patched the Shell32.dll to use the newest fix?

More bugs: screen doesn't get updated when moving the CTRL-ALT-DEL box around, and it's impossible to kill explorer.exe when systray.exe is active.
Tihiy

Yes, non-standard taskbar position issues are known and are under investigation.
QUOTE

Well, when it won't be needed i'll just remove it rolleyes.gif It is still needed, remember, this is a preview version.

P.S. I see you included Shell32.dll ME 5.50.4134.127

Yes

I've discovered fix for this: install kernel32.dll 4.10.2225. (This is not an RP issue)
QUOTE

It's impossible. This is a standard behavior: when you try to kill explorer, it tries to shut down. If not shutdown, it dies in 20 seconds.
I don't believe systray has something to do with this.

When microsoft paint is minimized and I do a right click in .. Example a 200x200 white screen the menu opens outside of it instead of being next to the cursor.

Thank you for Revolutions Pack Seven. Several bugs(RP7MM.exe):

I installed only \User folders and usening to this files...

* I'm usening without Shell32.dll update. Once again desktop icons untidy. I think, "Line up Icons", "align snap-grid" feature is default. Untidy icons picture:
Picture
I deleted to "shdll.dll" and fixed.

* New > "New Folder" is untidy:
Picture
I deleted to "shdll.dll" and fixed.

* Disappear title in Emule:
Example picture
I deleted to "shdll.dll" and fixed.

* Your Rundll32.exe still don't working FFDshow configurations. I'm back original rundll32.exe.

* Are you think to release new version for your external Taskmanager?

Thanks for new feature ("kernel panic"). I wish win98 be more more stable and never crashed. I know, this is an utopian... smile.gif

I'm so sorry my bad english.
Best Regards...

I also have the titles problem with Msn messenger, with small confirmation windows (Ok or Cancel) and also in User Proprieties.

I've removed code for this because this is no longer supported.
I don't know what you should do. You can just tweak horizontal / vertical space and voila.

* New > "New Folder" is untidy:
Will look; however, can live with it

* Disappear title in Emule:
If you had Compatibility tab you could just disable/set compatible LameSkin.
But you do not. What can i do?
edit: i've recalled: edit \windows\kernelxp.ini
make it look like:

[General]
LameSkin=0

Nope. It exists only in AeroBlue skin and only in this version.

Again, Hi;

I deleted to shdll.dll. All bugs is fixed. smile.gif Desktop and "new folder" icons untidy is fixed. Emule title is fixed.

I suppose Rundll32.exe bug. Example: FFdshow don't opening:
C:\WINDOWS\rundll32.exe ffdshow.ax,configure
Therefore I back to original rundll32.dll.

A Request: Windows 2000 and above, internet connection lights is system tray. I'm usening connected always to internet with ADSL(ethernet PCI card). But systray no lights. sad.gif I saw your new RPLite7 screenshots, there is connection light. May I show ethernet controller-connection lights in systray(2000/XP/2003 like)? Which must install files in RP7?

Sincerely...
Tihiy

This functionality IS NOT available in RP7 -- [minus minus] because it is a preview version.
This will be available for sure in next version and will also be available for Windows 98 without RP.
I've recalled again: you can just use rpconfig.exe to disable lameskin and this must fix your emule.

Tested the new release of rplite, I installing works good on the Windows ME system only when booted taskbar hangs, (not visible the clock and quicklaunch). This will not change when you End task Explorer.exe and open the task explorer (still hanging but visible again the clock and quicklaunch)

Its just info, I stick too RPlite 6 run good enough! thumbup.gif
Why change...

only when booted taskbar hangs

I'll look into this

Here is a fix for RP7-- MSPaint issue:

Hi Tihiy,
I tried to install in on my german laptop. It was patching browseui.dll or something like this and it froze.

What was that command in dos to restore everything back?

It can froze only if you've selected German language while you have English browseui.dll.
[I.e. languages must match. I'm trying to fix this.]
There is no command in dos to restore everything back.
If your system boots into GUI, press Ctrl-Alt-Del, select 'New task (Run)' and run rpuni
If you can't reach GUI, you must restore files from \windows\revbckup manually from dos (i'll recommend file manager like VC).
Drugwash
There is no System Restore in Win95/98; that function has been implemented only starting with Millenium.
There is scanreg /restore that can be used in DOS mode, but that is only restoring the registry to a previous working set, not the system files that have been replaced. So if you want to restore some system files, you have to do it manually, and you must be absolutely sure what you're doing, or you may scr3w your system up worse.
awergh
i think he was talking about the restore command in rplite5 and lower
night side
Tihiy, congratulations, this are optimum software that already I lowered, are perfect the RP7, and mine windows is Brazilian… They are with God…

Cool! thumbup.gif - But where is the setup.exe?! unsure.gif
qwerty12
Thanks smile.gif . For if you want to use 98SE2ME as well , this HAS to be installed before that. For some reason (and I tested this on 2 clean installs), if you do this after 98se2me then the inf installer complains it cant find setupapi and if you try manually ; your computer freezes before the logon screen.
