Subject: Can't install Tweak UI in Win 98 SE (1/3/2006)
(Sorry Kelly I messed up your site w/ this querry. Wasn't sure you
were helping out here also).
Re: Tweak UI (the note at Power Toys download site said this would work in
Win98 also). I initially saw the scoop at following site, I believe (before
went to Microsoft site). This is what I copied from that site:
NoBuck$ Freeware connection
Tweak UI v1.33 : 111Kb Homepage
Upgraded version of the Microsoft "Power Toy" for use of modifying the
appearance and behavior of Windows. For Windows 9x, Me, 2000, NT--
I tried to install TweakUI in my Win 98 SE (downloaded a day ago from
Microsoft
site for Power Toys) but got error message:
"The TWEAKUIPOWERTOYSETUP.EXE file is linked to a missing export
Kernel32.dll -GetDllDirectoryW" .
Immediately after another Win 98 error message (w/ the red background/white
X) popped up behind the 1st:
".... (file path here)... A device attached to the system is not functioning".
I note there are 962 "finds" in Google for : "GetDllDirectoryW" but I think
all refer to similar error at Win XP (my system is Win 98 SE).
What exactly is this error message trying to say and how to fix it?
-------------------------------------------------------------
I'm in a vicious circle. Reason I downloaded TweakUI was because in some
Forum post somewhere I read that it could help solve my problem ("Win 98
dial-up won't remember password" [in I/E 6]). Now I can't even install
TweakUI.
Don't tell me this may be the wrong version (is latest) or that it won't
work in W98 (I hope not).
Any hope?
