I have noticed on my Win 98SE setup that I now have two MS Hotfixes that need to be reinstalled. I have KernelEx 4.5 RC 5 installed. When I run Belarc Advisor it shows that UPD272137 and UPD320798 need to be reinstalled. So I did reinstall UPD272137 and had to reboot ... then a box pops up that KernelEx is no longer working and must be reinstalled after the reboot. I checked Belarc Advisor again and UPD272137 is now OK. So I delete KernelEX , reboot and reinstall KernelEx and the UPD272137 is no longer OK and must be reinstalled. I guess those two updates are affected by this newer version of KernelEx. I didn't notice this problem before with earlier versions of KernelEx. I also went back a few pages on the messages to see if anyone has already talked about these two updates, didn't see anything. Any ideas on this ... may just have to live those two updates being messed up. I noticed this also on my other notebook. thanks ...

You should always check *what* the updates in question are...
Q272137 installs Kernel32.dll v. 04.10.00.2224 for Win 98SE and was superceeded by
Q320798, which installs Kernel32.dll v. 04.10.00.2225 for Win 98SE and was superceeded by
the Unofficial Win9x 2-4 GB Files Errors Fix, COPY2GB, which installs Kernel32.dll v. 04.10.00.2226 for Win 98SE!!!
If you didn't install it in your system up to now, now is a good time for you to do it.
And, while you're at it do add also the Unofficial Win 9x Explorer Lockups With IE 5.xx/6.xx update (SHELL98), which installs Shell32.dll v. 4.72.3812.634, and the Unofficial Win 9x Stack Corruption, 98KRNLUP, which installs Krnl386.exe v. 04.10.00.2000, and, then, reinstall KernelEx, and you're all set, no matter what Belarc says about it.

Here is the error I get when I tried to install latest shockwave 11 slim version on I.E6, thought this may help find out why I receive these problems, after I did this when I attempted to test it on adobes site I.E then goes into an error loop.

AppName: iexplore.exe AppVer: 6.0.2800.1106 ModName: control.dll
ModVer: 11.5.9.615 Offset: 0001a801

I've just checked Shockwave 11 slim on IE6 and couldn't see any problems apart from already known installer crash.

What is the correct and preferred compatibility mode for the Mozilla Firefox 3.6.12?

At the moment when I check it I have it as Windows XP SP2, is it ok for to leave it at that?

Prefered compatibility mode is "Default mode" for firefox.exe + "Windows 2000 SP4" for xul.dll (these are also the default settings used after KernelEx install, unless you change them). In this configuration Firefox will report to be working under Windows NT 5.0.

[duffy98]

dencorso ... thanks for the information on those updates. I uninstalled KernelEx and put the updates on in the order that you said, reinstalled KernelEx and all is OK. I never would have figured all that out. ... thanks

I get the crash as you mention, but when I check for the player 11 to be working it just doesn't although it shows in the add/remove program list.

So I am back with shockwave 10 as I don't see the point having it in the list but not actually working or be recognised when tested, in other words I don't get shockwave 11 to show up as you do on that adobe site.

I looked for the Control.dll file, and noticed that it is showing as default mode for KernelEx, would I need to change that perhaps especially as that came up as an error as I shown earlier.

Frogman, everyone knows what your problem is by now...

And everyone also knows by now that if you want Shockwave 11 to run, the most likely is that you need a more recent CPU than the one you have, one that supports SSE instructions, in addition to have KernelEx installed.

As for your question about setting such or such compatibility mode for control.dll, why don't you try it yourself instead of asking???

Is there any hope of running Silverlight (Microsoft's version of Flash) on Win98 with KernelEx?

A search in this forum would have given you the answer.

Silverlight & Windows 98SE

Very funny, but that thread merely contains a lot of irrelevant descussion followed by (the link I wish you'd posted):

TmEE, on 02 September 2010 - 12:04 PM, said:

Silverlight wants .NET 3.5 form what I recall, and one cannot install 3.0 or newer on 9x...

SO, I guess the question becomes: Is there any hope of running .NET 3.5 on Win98 with KernelEx?

Again, I suspect the answer is no, although I've now learned that merely asking can seem unbelievably naive to some folks.

Bug report: Last version 4.5 RC 5 is breaking my printing (printer HP Laser Jet 1022).

• Print freezing with Word 2200 or Maxthon (IE6SP1)
  
• Idem with Ctras.dll renamed in Ctras_dll

Here are Dr. Watson logs:  Dr.Watson.rar (25.36K)
Number of downloads: 3

• Uninstalling RP 9.6 (or downgrading to version 9.6.6) doesn't help
  
• No problem to print a test page from the driver
  
• Uninstall of KernelEx, or ReInstall of version 4.5RC4 solves the problem!
  
• New Uninstall of KernelEx and reinstall of version 4.5 RC 5, and then 'Disable KernelEx extensions' (without reboot) is not helping.

Hi, I like to note next 2 programs I successfully run under KEX RC5:

Avanti 0.4.9 GUI for FFMPEG encoder (compat XP-SP2)
MKVMerge GUI 2.9.8 (compat XP-SP2)

[Pari_IT]

It appears to affect my printer too ....Epson CX3100

[paoloapaolo]

rc5 version also freezes at startup when there are network printers, I returned to rc4 is more reliable

Hi Pari_IT,

did you try to uninstall KernelEx and then reInstall the former version 4.5 RC 4?
I don't have any printing problem with this one.

[frogman]

Anyone use the latest version of the SuperAntiSpyware program with KernelEx installed?

http://www.superantispyware.com/

[Tihiy]

CharlesF, Pari_IT, other ppl having printer problems, please give us your printer drivers. It's more like Epson related (CharlesF has Epson drivers too). We don't have Epson printers (nor problems with our printers) so if problem won't be seen in drivers statically, the only option left will be to test all revisions between RC4 and RC5. Thanks.

[Pari_IT]

will get details over the weekend

Possible bug report,

I appear to be missing bookmarkbackup.interval on the about:config on Firefox 3.6.12.

Anyone with KernelEx installed that use this version of Firefox if they could confirm the same please.

My Firefox 3.6.12 lacks it too. (KernelEx 4.5 RC5)

Well, it must be a super-serious bug, my XP system lacks it too.

Edit: Try installing Bookmark Backup and see if that's what you're looking for. Here's a link:
