Unofficial Windows 98 Second Edition Service Pack 3.66

[PushF12]

Main Updates in Version 3.66 install normally for me (on real hardware) if Main Updates in Version 3.65 is installed first.

The file hosting sites that have a copy of 3.65 and show download statistics say that U98SESP3 was downloaded millions of times. Thanks again, PROBLEMCHYLD, for this good work.

Now the vbs script will come in handy with trying to detect with VMs. Its so many VMs software we'll be working our asses off try to please every single user. So far, 3.65 works with VMware and not others and 3.66 works with qemu and not others. I have already started the process for 3.67. Maybe we can find the right combination for VMs because I really don't want to install 10 different VMs on my computer and configure them etc... Then its the versions of VMs, not everyone is going to be using the same build which will bring more issues.

VB script is unproductive for VM detection, a low level ASSEMBLER code need to be executed for this task.

If I were you, I'd find the most accurate emulator/VM and use it for testing, plus at least 1 system in real hardware for final testing. My suggestion for most accurate emulator is 86box 86box.net. It really is just unmatched in accuracy.

Anyways, I have an odd problem with my system corrupting the text. I can reproduce it by opening a source file in the open watcom 1.9 ide and quickly using the mouse wheel to scroll through the file. If I don't continuously scroll as fast as I can, it won't happen. Also, if I allow the PC to go into a power saving state where it turns off the monitor (after the screen saver), it will be fixed when I bring it back out of power saving. Changing resolutions/color depths does not fix it.

Oh yeah, forgot to tell specs.
CPU intel Pentium MMX 200mhz
RAM: 48mb
Motherboard: Intel TC430HX https://theretroweb.com/motherboards/s/ ... #downloads
Video card: S3 Virge DX 4MB
Sound Card: ESS ES1869F
HDD: 64GB SSD with Sata to IDE adapter

I've also installed OnTrack to make full use of the SSD because the BIOS doesn't recognize the full size.

Hey Problemchyld.
We spoke about the the I.E colored icons option about three years ago.
Now i beg you for help again
Can you please tell me where the icons are located, which file?

Im trying to make some personal work to the system my own purpose (as my hobby)
I will gladly upload a picture of what i've done, when its done
I just havent found the location of them yet

Another thing is that i badly need the option from WinME ¨Imagepreview¨ i guess you know what im talking about...
I've tried to make it work without luck...
Is there any way i can integrate it to 98? Such as registry keys and files? I know you have been looking at is at some point

Btw i got WinMe but i prefer Win98 as i think all you guys here does... The missing imagepreview is function is bothering me...

Maybe i can contact you via e-mail?
Please help.

To latest posters, I think PROBLEMCHYLD has been a little busy with his life these past few months, please await his answer when he is able to do it, he will respond to you.

If I remember correctly, it's in browseui.dll (any version). HTH

Hello.
In Unofficial Windows 98 Second Edition Service Pack 3.17 the file PDH.DLL 4.0.1314.1 Windows NT 4.0 was added.
I searched for this DLL in Spanish in various Windows NT 4.0 distributions but without luck. Could you tell me exactly in which distribution of Windows NT 4.0 this file can be found?

PROBLEMCHYLD tends to be gone for lengths of time. I don't think I'm going too far out on a limb here, pretty sure it's NT 4 'beta 2' or/aka 'build 1314'.
