erpdude8 Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Quick update guys: Finals for me are coming up for this semester at school. I don't think I'll be able to release anything before the first weekend in February. I will still be here from time to time though. If something is released before then, it will be in the next week.the_guyI'm thinking of sending you an updated SPUPDATE.INF file that will resolve most of the problems found in the current beta of the ME service pack. let me know if you need it.

the_guy Posted January 19, 2007 Author Share Posted January 19, 2007 @erpdude8: send it. I might have already fixed most of the problems, but if not, the updated ink would be a good help.the_guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erpdude8 Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 (edited) Glad to hear the problems are being worked out - is there no way to fix the broken DLLs in the meantime or would that be more trouble then it's worth?Thanks!Chris.Don't worry about the broken DLLs, Chris. the_guy and I are working on the problem and will be resolved in the next beta release.@erpdude8: send it. I might have already fixed most of the problems, but if not, the updated ink would be a good help.I'll be sending it in a few moments today, the_guy. I may also have to revise the SCR56.INF file and make that INF file force the installation of the WSH 5.6 build 8832 files, overwriting the broken build 8833 files.be sure to include the WSH 5.6 build 8832 files as well as version 5.50.4134.120 of the SHELL32.DLL file Edited January 24, 2007 by erpdude8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erpdude8 Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 It's a Pentium II 266 w/ 160MB of RAM. Slow, but it gets the job done for what I need.try to put more RAM into your WinME computer, -Chris-. WinME works best with at least 256Mb of RAM, which my HP Pavilion computer has. my HP computer with pre-installed ME used to have 64megs of RAM but now it has 256megs (though I may up it to 512Mb a few years from now if the RAM chips get cheaper, my HP computer can handle up to 512Mb of memory).

erpdude8 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 also, try to include the updated MSASN1.DLL file from the KB891861 post-Win2k SP4 update rollup pack. the MSASN1.DLL file is dated 4/8/2005 and seemed to work okay under my Win98 & WinME computers.

Did however upgrade teh CPU to a Pentium 2 400, which was incredibly difficult and now I fully understand why they say laptops aren't upgradeable.

Did however upgrade teh CPU to a Pentium 2 400, which was incredibly difficult and now I fully understand why they say laptops aren't upgradeable.then u should downgrade Windows to Windows 98 SE. Windows ME needs horsepower. 160 megs of RAM AINT good enough for WinME, Chris. Win98se, on the other hand, should work at optimal performance with 160Mb of memory and uses much less system resources than WinMEYes I have, and done! KB925753 was added for a while.so, the_guy, have you obtained the KB925753 hotfix yet? please email it to me ASAP. I'll include it in the next release of the 98fe SP Edited February 16, 2007 by erpdude8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kept my later version.Looking at the entries in qfecheck under WME SP2, the one listing the ASPI files is titled " SP21ASPI %UPDNAME%"Looks good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
