I just installed the new Beta 1b (Version 4.90b[b].003) and all my problems seem to have been solved. No more RunDll32.exe crashes. It might really have been a problem with non-US Windows XP versions, as mine is German. The other problem, concerning transparent menus screwing up after starting an OpenGL application, have been solved as well, by checking the "Enable if you have corrupted titlebar buttons & text backgrounds" check box in the T

WindowBlinds 5 installed _almost_ fine here. After logging in, I receive two messages informing me that RunDll32.exe crashed. No Control Panel is working (RunDll32.exe crashes as well). It's a beta.

So it's basically a very fast and quiet graphics card, which is way too expensive (I wasn't planning on spending that much on my computer at all, and I still need a new CPU, motherboard and RAM). But I guess a l

I just looked the function SHGetFolderLocation up in the MSDN Library. According to that information, this function is only supported on Windows ME, Windows 2000 and Windows XP. So, unfortunately, the only answer there seems to be is "upgrade your OS". It might be possible to patch together a mix of Win98 and WinME, but I highly doubt that WinME's shell32.dll could possibly work on Win98. Plus, you might end up having no working OS at all. I'm sorry that there is no better answer. <A HRE
