98SE2ME = Killer Replacements: ME -> 98 SE

[Analada]

Hi, this looks really promising! One question: What do I have to UNinstall first (if anything)?

I already have 98SE2ME done some six months ago or so.

Do I need to uninstall anything from that before doing the new one?

<snip> It is not necessary to uninstall anything, because 98SE2ME is always a full install package, and always performs the same full install which also include all current changes/updates [in this case the only changes are installing WinME SIGVERIF.EXE renamed file, WinME SIGVERIF.HLP + 2 shortcuts].

Just run the current 98SE2ME.EXE 4-28-2007edition, as usual [3 MB]:

http://www.mdgx.com/4

and install option 1 or 2.

That's it.

This will copy SIGVERIF.EXE from WinME CABs to %windir% as SIGVRFME.EXE, in order to keep Win98 SE SIGVERIF.EXE .

After reboot, you can run either 1 of these tools from their shortcuts:

How to use both File Signature Verification Tools:

Start button -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> run 1 of these shortcuts:

- "File Signature Verification Tool (Windows ME)"

- "File Signature Verification Tool (Windows 98 SE)"

HTH

First and foremost, many thanks for this great program.

Feedback: Couple of things.

(1) Installing 98SE2ME again broke the NUSB. OK, you kind of mention that in the readme, but would it be possible to prompt the user during the install to first uninstall NUSB and make sure it's around to install afterwards?

(2) I play FLV files using Media Player Classic. The procedure to do so involves installing FFD Show and configuring the player. (See http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/ho..._flv_files.cfm). I had done this procedure subsequent to when 98SE2ME was first installed. Just a few minutes ago I installed 98SE2ME again and Media Player Classic is now broke for playing FLV files.

I use Ghost 2003 and ghosted back to restore things as they were.

98MP10 [i assumed that's the 1 you are referring to: "XP SP2 stuff"] is an unofficial WMP9 update to WMP10.

Nope. This was from before anyone got MP10 onto 98SSE. Here's a batch file I picked up off the forum, I also found the exe2cab program somewhere. Just never have got a round-tuit to do anything with this.

rem i have use exe2cab.exe to convert WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe to					rem WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.cab

1) Excuse me, but there are advantages using WIN ME SIGVERIF.EXE than WIN 98 SE SIGVERIF.EXE?

2) I want to report a problem installing win 98 se drivers of a printer HP710c ONLY AFTER installing option 2 of 98se2me.

It is impossible to install these drivers because doesn't recognize LPT port.

The problem can be solved removing/reinstalling drivers (doesn't work always).

What could be for you?

98MP10 [i assumed that's the 1 you are referring to: "XP SP2 stuff"] is an unofficial WMP9 update to WMP10.

Nope. This was from before anyone got MP10 onto 98SSE. Here's a batch file I picked up off the forum, I also found the exe2cab program somewhere. Just never have got a round-tuit to do anything with this.

I've also seen that batch a long time ago.

At that time I was working on my own MP10 -> 98/ME project with the help from erpdude8 [also an MSFN member], roughly similar to the batch you found.

I have posted a working version a while after that at my site and here, and I thought that was the only working version, besides the batch file you mentioned, which only extracts and copies the files from XP SP2.

If you ever looked at the 98MP10 INF file, you would have noticed that there is much more to it, just copying the files and running regsvr32 won't make it work properly.

In comparison, 98MP10 is pretty much a "mature" release, tested in the wild, and works in most cases, except a for few portable multimedia devices that I can't test on my PC.

I'm using 98MP10 for ~ 3 years now, and never ran into any problems.

To extract 98MP10.INF from 98MP10.EXE, download 98MP10.EXE [7.5 MB]:

http://www.mdgx.com/98mp10/98MP10.EXE

Then run [example]:

98MP10.EXE /C /Q /T:C:\TEMP

Then open 98MP10.INF into Notepad to view its contents.

... Or download this small zip...

MP10INF.ZIP

1) WinME sigverif probably has newer code to recognize more digital signatures for newer files/drivers released after Win98 SE came out. [?]

Can't hurt to have both, I like having more than 1 choice.

2) Sorry, I can't test this printer driver on my PC, I don' t have such printer.

Can you elaborate, please, what exactly happens, step by step, eventual error messages, dialog boxes, IPF, GPF, lockups etc?

(1) Installing 98SE2ME again broke the NUSB. OK, you kind of mention that in the readme, but would it be possible to prompt the user during the install to first uninstall NUSB and make sure it's around to install afterwards?

(2) I play FLV files using Media Player Classic. The procedure to do so involves installing FFD Show and configuring the player. (See http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/ho..._flv_files.cfm). I had done this procedure subsequent to when 98SE2ME was first installed. Just a few minutes ago I installed 98SE2ME again and Media Player Classic is now broke for playing FLV files.

I use Ghost 2003 and ghosted back to restore things as they were.

(1) I have added a note about NUSB in READ1ST.TXT, closer to the top, under the "EXTREMELY IMPORTANT" section:

READ1ST.TXT

* MUST install Native USB Drivers (NUSB) current edition:

http://www.mdgx.com/web.htm#NUS

ONLY AFTER already installed 98SE2ME options 1, 2 or 7!

IF already installed NUSB BEFORE 98SE2ME options 1, 2 or 7, MUST reinstall

NUSB once again, AFTER 98SE2ME options 1, 2 or 7!

(2) I assume you are refering to 98SE2ME options 1 or 2.

I've installed FFDshow a few times in the past, bur never noticed any problems, but never tried to set MPC to play FLV files.

I use Riva FLV Player [freeware] to play FLV files:

http://www.rivavx.com/index.php?id=422&L=3

Download it from:

http://www.download.com/3001-2194_4-10442977.html

Riva FLV Player has its own FLV codec, doesn't need FFDshow or any other external codec.

More FLV tools [scroll down to "How to play Flash Video (.FLV)."]:

http://www.mdgx.com/toy.htm#SHFL

FYI:

The couple of times I've tried to set MPC to play SWF, DCR + DIR files [Flash + Shockwave offline], I've got errors/glitches, because MPC doesn't have web browser capabilities to play SWF files properly.

So I had to set SWF + DCR/DIR to be played by Firefox [MS IE is also a good choice].

Sometime in the near future I'll test FFDshow with MPC playing FLV, to see if I get any errors related to installing 98SE2ME option 2.

Ok... can you post me a list of possible suspected files concerning printer drivers?

The printer has usb support.

I don't have a USB printer, therefore I can't tell which files are used.

But you can do this on your computer if your printer is properly installed:

right-click "My Computer" desktop icon -> Properties -> Device Manager tab -> scroll down to your printer name, which is usually listed under "Printer" -> double-click on your printer name -> Driver tab -> "Driver file details" button -> post here all file names you see.

BTW:

I still need you to post here any errors/dialogs/GPF/IPF/etc you've seen etc.

Thanks.

Are you going to remove User*.* files from 98SE2ME because

Q891711 + U891711 = Unofficial MS07-017 + MS05-002 .ANI fix has permanent fix?

I can give you a detailed description of errors/dialogs.

The problem begins only after installation of 98seME.

Printer HP710C with LPT port (no USB, excuse me) not recognized!

START -> Settings-> Printers -> Add printers ->

I select Local Printer -> Driver Disk , and the problem is here.

Win98SE, after found correct .INF file, says, to the next dialog, that doesn't exist a LPT port

and if driver installation is started, says: "It isn't possible to terminate installation. Driver corrupted or damaged".

If I try driver installation from CD-ROM or Floppy (both absolutely original provided from HP), the computer, after reboot, is blocked.

For the restart it is necessary to reset.

Error messages, naturally are in italian, infact I've just translated here in english.

Later I'll follow your indications about entries in driver options.

At the end I've discovered that this is a bug of some hp printers.

A solution is :

1) replace Spool32.exe with the original;

2) remove checkbox on Win.ini file in msconfig, so during reboot Win.ini can reload printer.

Thank you again for your work, MDGx!

[PROBLEMCHYLD]

Small request, files like msconfig.exe which is backed up and replaced with meconfig.exe

Sigverif.exe etc... (Don't wanna delete manually file by file) can you make a script to delete those by choice because i don't want to have duplicate files on my system especially if i don't have a need for them.

This should apply to all files that are duplicates of others.

If theres a need to replace them i will until then i don't have any problems with them.

It can be called the Clean up option 8

A big thank U
