Hi there Celtish

Many Thanks, for the link to your download location for 98se Beta 2.
I have, unfortunately, never had any success whatsoever trying to download anything from Rapidshare.

Gape's packages have always been excellent stuff and trouble free, at least for me, so I
cant wait to install hie Beta2 package. Thanks once again.

Attached File(s)

  Number of downloads: 9

Beta 2 installed without preblem but a few days later on re-booting I started to get shutdown error messages persistently citing Kernel32. This might of course not be anything to do with Beta 2 but has anyone else had this problem?

Kernel32.dll 4.10.2226 is the copy2gb fix, this bug is already addressed in the shell32.dll fix, but I have tested it and find it dosen't cause any conflicts, so there is no harm in adding this fix. I am, however against adding NUSB because MD updates his pack more often then gape does, so this will become something that I will have to manually remove, then re-install. Also, MSFN is beginning to crack down on EULA's so I don't like the idea of including legally questionable windows ME files. I really don't want Gape's pack to become a bloated monster, so IMHO he should stick to OS updates only. WIA is a format that is not widely used, what limits most scanners working in 9x is lack of driver support, not WIA support.

No problem so fa with the last uSP.

I had an expected issue with ESDI_506.PDR, but that's not common, more specific to my computer, I think.
For those having the same issue with ESDI_506.PDR, please try the version 4102222 from LLMX's patch

Bug report: Installing the latest beta after installing IE6 SP1 gives an error on Windows Update.

Reinstalling IE6 SP1 fixes the issue.

Gape are you working on a Beta 3 or perhaps an RC? Any ETA?

Thanks for all your work to keep Win 98 alive.

[Chozo4]

Strange as it is - I reinstalled to correct a corruption on my drive earlier today and found out a small issue (again) cropped up.

I didn't seemingly have it untill I installed SP3b2 and then KernelEx. AFter installing both, use of a command prompt will cause the dos box to cause a fault at random intervals (could be within 10 seconds or within 5 mins). If it happens during say , a ping or ipconfig; it causes the whole windows session to lockup.

So, anyone else notice this or am I just losing it? I get the same thing on my desktop from one of the earlier 3.0 beta's as well. I never mentioned it before because at the time I wasn't sure what was roughly causing it.

Maybe,this is root of problems with using Kex0.3.3a and above for my older 2 systems 64mb/128mb Ram-when I installed newer Sesp3.xxx series.....Update's <Always Sesp2.1a is Stable even with Kex0.3.4..newest version....!!!> Noticed something "WIERD"to do with opening programs after a couple of days running *Ram Usage Size and Progam use with the Sesp3.xxx and above with Kex0.3.3a -0.3.4.*Some update either backdates or changes some value in AutoPatcher too!Stated these same "98SE Crash Performance Reactions" when using MDCU2.5 a few months prior.and was tring new Sesp3.xxx and above ..So,maybe it was not MDCU2.5 and RP7 colliding updates and functions therein ,but Sesp3.xxx....could be the culprit ????? *Now using Kex0.3.4 ,Uberkin ,RP8 ,update filesfor 98SE, 98SEregedit<New!>,Sesp2.1a and all other recent updaters up to today on all my 98SE systems-NO CRASHES!!!!!{*also Shockwave11 and Flash10 }Trying to use Nero7,just bad cdrom as it fights install on 98SE.All other xp/2k programs work though....even installed some Win2000/AdvSvr programs as have on another system and tried for fun of it they ran fully functional "Surprisingly Enough!!!"Sesp3 is in BetaStage , yet still needs work before becoming a RC release as too many problems with older systems using 98SE.

When is the final version coming?

This post has been edited by PROBLEMCHYLD: 23 June 2008 - 09:23 PM

[aLeXis]

When can we expect an rc or rtm build

[Gape]

3.0 Beta 3 is released.

Hopefully it is latest beta.

Enjoy!

Please note that, as always, installation on a clean or freshly installed Windows 98 is highly recommended.

[aLeXis]

Great....i can't wait to get the final...will be ok to install on an already updated install ?

What exactly is this problem ? I got a hdd related problem in that when i enable dma on my second hdd it screws the fat (tho its fixable with minimal data loss) & when i copy files between hdds crcs change. Is this related to esdi_506.pdr ?
