98 FE + 98 SE + ME updates + patches + (hot)fixes


Recommended Posts


Petr has sent me the some Win95 hotfixes, including the Q175629 fix. send him a PM if you need the patches.

I was also suprised such an important fix was not yet published on the net. However today noone wants to use Windows 95, since we have Windows 98SE with 98SE2ME right :P

yup. one former Win95 OSR2 user I encountered online a few years ago had already upgraded to WinXP (and bought a new PC that came with XP).

MDGx told me several months ago the author of the Q249824 voltrack.vxd fix for Win98 will NOT create a Q249824 voltrack.vxd patch for Win95; forgot the reason why.

what are these files for

W95UPG.DLL

W95UPGNT.DLL

do a search on these files at Yahoo or Google.

w95upg.dll is a migration DLL file when upgrading from Win95/98/ME to Win2000/XP/2003/Vista

w95upgnt.dll is a migration dll file when upgrading from older NT versions like WinNT4 to Win2k & higher

i believe these two files are used during Windows setup when installing a new version of Windows

@MDGx,

I was looking at your Q912919.EXE file, and I just removed a whole lot of crap from it to make it more like the ME version. The 2 main INF's went down to 299 bytes, from 1.92 kb. The Q912919.INF file went from 715 bytes to 260 bytes. I removed the qfecheck files as they weren't needed, and I shortened up a whole lot of strings as well. I also removed the uninstall, as I didn't think it was needed. send me an email if you want my reduced copy.

Also, could you update your Riched files with usp10.dll version 1.0422.3790.2706 from WS919136.EXE? What's the difference between them anyway?

Thanks a lot.

I got your updates, I'll post them probably tomorrow, time permitting.

Please send revised Q912919.EXE .

I'll add USP10.DLL from WS919136 to RICHED*.EXE also tomorrow, time permitting.

I also got your older NT updates.

I'll post them in the near future. I'll let you know when.

Thanks.

ME Webvw.dll from 900725 should NOT be 5.50.3900.7069. Change it to 5.50.4134.7069 because original WEBVW.DLL from WinME is version 5.50.4134.100!

I happen to have newer FPX32.FLT file than one found in the GRPHFLTS pack; it was from MS Works 6.0 [2001].

also, need your take on what shadell said in his posts here:

@MDGx:

On the note of the GDI fix for 918547 posted today, would you be able to get the author to make a patch for 98FE? Also, could you try to make the patched 98FE and the patched 98SE (4.10.2225) ESDI_506.PDR in 1 file, and then rename the file with ESDI_506.PDR 4.10.2226 to SE48BLBA.EXE?

Slightly O/T: Would you be able to contact the author of the unofficial 918547 patch to see if they could patch user.exe and user32.dll to prevent the 891711 flaw.

hmm, looks like the author of 918547 will need to patch the 98fe GDI files.

the_guy, what is your input of the person at this thread suggesting to add an option to NOT install updated user.exe/user32.dll files from the 98se SP:

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=67610

unfortunately he's experiencing the screen saver taskbar problem in 98se. seems to be mostly fixed in WinME since I only get one screen saver icon taskbar and not multiple screen saver taskbar icons in ME.

patching user.exe & user32.dll files in 891711? yup. like the idea. better than using kb891711.exe/q891711.dll files.

I did remember Tihiy patching the user32.dll file for 98se making it 4.10.2232. he didnt patch the user.exe file and made another DLL file, ti891711.dll. Tihiy's version of 891711 was for win98se only.

OR use the ME explorer interface under Win98se by installing either RPlite5 with Shell update or 98SE2ME with option 3 to install the ME GUI under 98se. The ME Explorer GUI prevents the multiple screen saver icon bug from happening.

MDGx's GRPHFLTS.EXE pack will need to be revised again. It still has a faulty INF file but now causes error message "INF Install Failure - Reason: Invalid INF File". I noticed now the GF.INF file is 85Kb which is WAY too big. Shrink it down and separate the info into two INF files. I'll send the revised INF files to MDGx.
