Have been searching for an updated copy of NetAPI32.DLL that works on Win98SE2ME. All I have found so far are for Server2003, XP, and all that are newer than what I have.

MDGx,

I have not been able to do the 'LiveSearch' on your site. All that appears is a blank screen with a small box in the Upper left corner with "Loading . . ." and in the StatusBar "DONE". Cannot type in anythingy and do have allowed the livesreach.com and MDGx.com.

Have attempted to find that file on your site but all are of the wrong breed for my system.

Any HELP!! would be greatly appreciated,

P.S. My copy of NetAPI32.DLL is v4.10.1998

There are only 2 versions of NETAPI32.DLL that work with Win98 SE [with or without 98SE2ME options 1 or 2]:
- NETAPI32.DLL 4.10.1998 = from Win98 SE setup CD-ROM/CABs
- NETAPI32.DLL 4.90.3000 = from WinME setup CD-ROM/CABs
M$ never released any (hot)fixes/patches/updates for these 98/ME files, that I'm aware of.
All NT4, 2000, XP, 2003 or Vista versions do *not* work with 9x OSes.


About the Live search script at my site:
it should work ok, I downloaded it and added to this HTML page:
http://www.mdgx.com/sl.php
from the Live Search web site:
http://search.live.com/siteowner
It does work ok on my computer, with both Win98 SE + XP SP2, in all browsers I've tested so far: MS IE 6.0 SP1/7.0, Firefox 1.5.0.11 + 2.0.0.3, Mozilla/Seamonkey 1.1.1, Netscape 8.1.3, Opera 9.20, Netscape 3.04 Gold.

If it doesn't work on your computer, you either:
- do no wait for the loading... message to disappear = you must wait until the loading... text disappears from the search box in order to type your search keywords;
- connect thru a remote/local proxy and your proxy scripts deny this URL.
Not much you can do if using a remote proxy on a server you do no control.
But if using a local proxy [software on your computer] or on a server you control [a cgi/perl/php/ASP script on your own server domain], make sure the Live servers are not banned/denied in the proxy scripts.
- use a custom HOSTS files in %windir% [usually C:\WINDOWS] that lists the Live servers preceded by 127.0.0.1 or by 0.0.0.0 or by 0 .
HOSTS guide:
http://www.mdgx.com/hosts.htm
If this is the case, you must remove all lines that point to the Live servers from your HOSTS file.
Then you need to reload your web browser(s) for the modified HOSTS to load, be it MS IE [+ its variants: Maxthon, Crazy Browser, Neoplanet, Avant, SlimBrowser etc], Firefox, Mozilla, Netscape, Opera, Seamonkey etc;
- if using a firewall or an internet security suite or an anti-malware utility that bans/denies access to specific servers, you need to make sure Live servers are not on their lists;
- if using MS IE -> Internet Options/Properties -> Security tab -> Restricted Sites -> custom Sites list, you need to make sure Live servers are not on that list;
- if using MS IE -> Internet Options/Properties -> Privacy tab -> Advanced -> Override automatic cookies handling -> make sure the "Always allow session cookies" box is checked;
- if using MS IE -> Internet Options/Properties -> Privacy tab -> Edit -> "Managed Web Sites" list -> make sure Live servers are not on that list.

Live servers:
http://search.live.com/
http://live.com/
http://www.live.com/

Live search servers use extensively Javascript [and possibly VBScript], therefore you must have Javascript and VBScript enabled.

HTH [Hope This Helps]

"MDGx,"

I have enabled Live.com for most everythingy so far, as of just now, had them allowed for session before which usually works. Will make another attempt shortly, have had other issues that needed max attention for the last several weeks. That is now done, just need to find the time to do this type of testing again. Need to cut grass, spray insecticide on yard, give dogs bath, well you get the priorities. With all of the rain that has come through this year the grass is already over my dogs backs and it has only been a week.

Enough of my problems, BreakTime is over get back to work,

Thank you for taking the time to look into my problems,

NativeTexan:

If Live search at my site still doesn't work for you:
http://www.mdgx.com/sl.php
try the Google search box [the blue magnifying glass button] for my site, it has the advantage that it displays cached pages with keywords highlighted:
http://www.mdgx.com/search.htm
I've put Google search back in at my site recently.
My main page:
http://www.mdgx.com/
also has a navy-on-pink Google button on the left side menu near the top, right under the "Lost? NOT!" message.

I don't think Google search requires any special permissions, unless you're using some custom firewall/internet protection tools/hosts scripts/permissions/protection.

will this file be added to 98SE2ME

Works fine here. Thanks. (98SE2ME, win98 Lite)

I've had this file installed by 98SE2ME for a while, but this is why I removed it:Quoted from UPDATES.TXT:
