1.4 error in user32.dll

1.4 Does not work under windows 95 (1.3 did)

My dependency viewer says the problem with the SpybotSD.exe is in the user32.dll the EndMenu() fucntion does not exist or doesnt and in TEATIMER.EXE the function MsgWaitForMultipleObjectsEx() does not exist or doesnt work. This of course prevents spybot from running. as I said, 1.3 didnt have this problem. none of the other exe's or dll's appear to have this problem. This is a great program and I hope it can be fixed.
 
Also

aports.dll wont work, no such dll = NTDLL.DLL. But as I cant get spybot to load, i dont know if this is a problem or not

Win95's user32.dll file is missing the "MsgWaitForMultipleObjectsEx()" function which is featured in Win98/NT4 and higher Windows versions of the user32.dll file.

BTW - what version of Win95 are you using, SlimySlayer? Right-click on the My Computer icon on the desktop and select Properties.
 
Nevermind, I forgot I got a computer at work that I used my 95 disk to isntall Windows on. This is its version, I think I can assume its the same.

4.00.950 C


And, I have winsock 2+ and Common Controls Version 6, 5, Etc.

Versions 4.00.950 B and C are OEM Service Release 2 [OSR2] editions of Windows 95.
If you type VER at the MS-DOS prompt in Windows 95 C it will say:

Windows 95 [Version 4.00.1111]

The original retail version of Windows 95 is 4.00.950 and installing Service Pack 1 will make it 4.00.950 A. Typing VER at the DOS prompt in the original and SP1 versions of Win95 will say:

Windows 95 [Version 4.00.950]

I know this since I had used different versions of Win95 for a long time on my old computer.

Also be sure to install the Windows 95 Year 2000 Update to make Win95 C fully compatible in the 21st century.

You can get Spybot S&D version 1.3 here:
http://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=spybot

just to let you know, there will be NO updates that will add the EndMenu() and MsgWaitForMultipleObjectsEx() functions under Win95.

Just have to make it not use those functions, otherwise it will never work on windows 95 and it will always complain about "A device attached to the system is not functioning"

If thats the case, then a download link to 1.3 should be made readily available.
 
Oh, and i have looked into the Y2K update, it just fixes some date displays, thats all. and to top it off, MS's site, although claims to have the download, clicking download returns a 404 page. I tried another site on MS for it, and it wants me to verify windows, needless to say, that didn't work lol.




Hey!!!, 1.3 isnt working anymore either, same error. Hmmm. Maybe ill go DOS and replace user32.dll with the one in XP (That should cause some good effects lol)

NO DONT DO THAT! Do NOT replace the user32.dll file from XP onto a Win95 computer or you will mess things up and make things worse.

you may want to upgrade to Win98 if possible
 
I figured it out, the uninstaller for spybot doesnt actually do anything lol. I deleted the folder manually and it started working. As for replacing user32.dll, that was fun lol. It worked, computer booted, but it complain of a lot of missing exports and devices attached to the system not functioning.


winodws 98, are you crazy? that OS is so buggy clicking the view menu on a folder will cause an explorer error. And I mean the SE version lol. I have windows 98, it lasted a total of 1 week before I went back to windows 95.

Win98 SE buggy? yeah right!

I installed a CLEAN installation of Win98 SE (2nd edition version 4.10.2222) on my old computer and it ran just FINE. it was even more stable than Win95.

mu-hahahaha! that's what you get for replacing Win95 system files with XP versions. you screwed things up didnt ya? shame on you, SlimySlayer.

hopefully you have put back the old win95 user32.dll file to make Win95 work properly again.

the next version of spybot being developed should work again with win95 without needing the "EndMenu()" function. :D:

almost forgot to say, AND I get to use Spybot 1.4 under Win98se (woo-hoo!) :bigthumb:
 
I should add that version 1.3 under windows 95 doesnt auto update. It doesn't find the servers and it always says there are no newer updates. you have to do the manual update every time (thank goodness there is a way to manually update)

I just installed spybot 1.3 under another PC with Win95 osr2.5 (version 4.00.1111 C) and the uninstaller works. for some reason, the uninstaller on your Win95 PC is missing some uninstall files.

SlimySlayer,

I had been using Win98 SE for more than FIVE straight years now on an old computer of mine and it has rarely crashed! In fact, Win98se works on old and new PCs. And no I am NOT crazy.

and since I've gotten reactions from some other Win98se users online who have Win98se pre-installed on their computers, they're not too happy of you saying that Win98se is buggy. It's been proven otherwise.

perhaps you say that because your slow computer is not capable of handling Win98se. at least my computer can handle it well.

I am in the process of beta testing the newer spybot release and it does work under win95.

you didnt reproduce the problem correctly.


install 1.3
Install 1.4 to same location
Delete 1.4
Install 1.3

(at this point SBS&D shouldnt work)
delete 1.3
delete SPS&D folder (many files left behind)
install 1.3
Works now
