got the escargot server to properly return a 405 on IE6, but still getting a (now different) error trying to sign in through msn7... might need to ask in the forums now

msn 7.0 launches now, but now another roadblock.. it needs to connect over IE, but IE won't see the server

Show thread

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...

Show thread

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?

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

Show thread

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
