blackwire Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 (edited) The Copy2GB patch is not necessary. The 634 version of the shell32.dll patch already fixes the copy 2gb bug. I tried the copy2gb patch a while ago. It caused unusual behavior on my computer. It also changed the buttons, which I didn't like. About the Enable48bitLBA, the readme says that if used on smaller drives, it might cause data corruption. If these patches must be included, maybe an option not to install them should be avaliable.

Q931836.EXE.But I think it doesn't contain New Zealand update probably. Could you post/email your INF ? It will be great and helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molecule Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 awesome to see you're back! one might even say that sp21a (after thinking about it, and on how much I use my computer) has become ... (choke choke (harhar) ) an important part of my life!!I'm on dialup, so I use a Kingston thumbdrive to transport large files that can be easily uploaded/downloaded at my public library -- now I'm totally addicted to USB drives.MaximDecim's USB driver didn'twork on my sp21a machine, nor did Kingston's drivers (also very large)But ... an Italian programmer fixed my problem with a 10k zip, by posting a small no-frills generic USB thumbdrive driver that is only 10k with no registry alterations. It's only 10k in size -- please consider adding it.Here are some links:driver homepage (in Italian) -- http://www.wintricks.it/faq/usbpen98.htmldownload page -- http://www.wintricks.it//download/wtgenusb.zipjaclaz posted a translation of the webpage here -- http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=2411pat98usb did some more hacking described here -- http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...st&p=664191don't know if Jesus is in his office or not, but it's good to see you back ... please include the thumbdrive if you can.regards... theMolecule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gape Posted August 17, 2007 Author Share Posted August 17, 2007 sleffing, Molecule, thanks for your feedback.Yes, uSP 3.0 contains unofficial updates. Now 3.0 Alpha 1 is almost ready [Alpha releases will focus only to collect currently best updates]. There are only 2 problems:- Although I added required Windows Update information into the registry. Q891711, and Q918547 are still showing up on the Windows Update. Does anyone know something about it ?- "COMCTL32.DLL file cannot start" problem during uninstallation of Adaptec ASPI or Boot/Shutdown logos.Some new features like USB thumb drives support, Enable48bitLBA will be included in the next alpha/beta release.

Does anyone know something about it ?Windows Update does not use the Update information for these I think.I have tried many ways andit seems Windows Update looks at the files on diskand checks the versions of the .dll AND the .exe.It does not check the RunServices key I believe.Maybe someone else knows a 'workaround'.

galahs Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Great to hear your going to work on this again Gape Can I suggest your future Update has the following options:1. Install Official Microsoft Updates (upto July 2006)2. Install Un-Official Microsoft Updates (July 2006 +)3. Install 3rd Party Updates (USB, 137GB +, 2GB Copy etc)That way people can install the the parts they want.I know some businesses don't allow Unofficial or 3rd party updates on their systems.Either way, great to hear we will soon have a single patch that brings our 98SE systems back up-to-date :correct: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
