Thank you very much!!! 1) I restored KERNEL32.DLL manually; 2) Run the KernelEx 4.0 Final2 installer; - Installation was Ok; - I see now KERNEL32.BAK in windows/kernelex directory.

1) What do you mean by "unofficial Add/Remove applets"? 2) How can I install 4.0 Final2?

KernelEx 4.0 Final2: Can NOT install this version I can not install version 4.0 Final2 on my box. O/S: Windows 98SE Russian. 4.0 RC2, and 4.0 Final can be installed without any problem. I tried to uninstall them and then make clean install of 4.0 Final2 - no success. I tried to install 4.0 Final2 "above" them - no success also. Please see the attachment to my message containing screenshot of the installer error message. (Please note, that during installation of 4.0 RC2 and 4.0 Final I also did not see any c:/windows/KernelEx/kernel32.bak). PS: Creating c:/windows/KernelEx/kernel32.bak before installation of Final2 did not help.

Did you try to create and run .reg file with the following contents REGEDIT 4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\KernelEx\AppSettings\Configs] "*\\setup.exe"="WINXP" or did you add the key to the registry manually? Please check the value by regedit.

RetroOS, thank you for pointing me to the "right" topic. But it seems nobody found any workaround yet... So, I downgraded back to Fx 2.0.0.20 (as most of us).

1) Running "internal" setup.exe from Firefox 3.5.2 installer in XP-compatible mode really works fine! ("REGEDIT solution" does work with KernelEx 4). 2) What about the problem with the printing in Win98SE - KernelEx 4.0 Final - Firefox 3.5.2? Is it going to be fixed? May be nobody else met this problem? In brief: - Print Preview command doesn't work at all: "Printer is not found" error message pops up instead. - Print command works, but the output is Plain text without any formatting, graphics and images.

OS: Win98SE ZoneAlarm: 6.1.744.001 I uninstalled KernelEx. After reboot ZA is working as before! So, it seems to be KernelEx 4 problem...

Thank you! It works! 2) Printing problems in Firefox 3.5.1 or 3.5.2 still exist :-( Under Win98SE / KernelEx 4 Final I CAN NOT run "Print Peview" - I get error message that printer IS NOT found. If I run "Print" printer IS found, but instead of images and formatted text I get just PLAIN text. 3) Yes. Prior of installation of KernelEx ZoneAlarm worked! I tried to disable kernelex extensions - did NOT help. I tried to force ZoneAlarm run in Win98SE compatibility mode - did NOT help also.

OS: Win98SE (rus) KernelEx 4.0 RC2: - OpenOffice 3: Ok! - Firefox 3.5.1 (3.5.2): installation Ok, browsing Ok, PRINTING DOESN'T WORK at all (Print preview: "printer is not found", while printing I get clean paper without any letter or image); -Firefox 2.0.0.20: Ok; KernelEx 4.0 Final: - Firefox 3.5.1 (3.5.2): CAN NOT EVEN INSTALL. Error message is: "...This version of Firefox requires Microsoft Windows 2000 or newer" (please see screenshot in the attachment) - ZoneAlarm v6: DOES NOT start (no icon in the tray, no control...) What could be the reasons and what can I try to do? -- Thank you.
