maybe it's because i don't have IE6? the older version v10b installed fine, but msn messenger is now still asking for a procedure in another dll that's not kernel32 anymore...

saw a video of someone running the extended kernel installer and i don't ever get the setup window or the installer afterwards, it just extracts the cab and then tells me reboot is needed, every time. wonder if it refuses to install because of lack of SSE

i love to waste away every single one of my weekends never enjoying myself at any point and getting rewarded with having to work the next dat

so i can't replace kernel32.dll with the blackwingcat windows 2000 extended kernel EVEN on safe mode. i can't find a single other soul on the internet who's experienced any issue like this, can anyone please tell me what i'm doing wrong?

does anyone want to do anything tonight

is there something like vdmsound but which passes on to a wdm device instead? want to use my ess 1876's fm emulation for dos games on windows 2000

god i missed mirc

i can't boot into safe mode because the laptop does not detect external keyboards until it's in the OS even if it's a PS/2 one

i say i have the only one because no amount of googling finds any other person with the same problem as me. no matter what i do, i just can't replace kernel32.dll with the newer one by blackwingcat

apparently i have the one version of windows 2000 online which locks kernel32.dll from being edited which means i can't install kernelex...

built-in sound is just a 7-pin header that tore off the board, i might be able to bodge a new connector. keyboard might be relatively accessible to replace, but going to need to import from outside my country...

well after a long day of work on the Compaq armada i managed to go from partial sound and partial keyboard to no doing and no keyboard, killing my new expensive toy in a record two whole days

definitely one of the most intimidating keyboards i've ever taken apart
