DEFRAG.INF - DEFRAGMENT ALL DRIVES ON SUBSEQUENT WINDOWS STARTUP
================================================================
The
Disk Defragmenter for Windows 98 (DEFRAG.EXE) may start and
not complete
its task. If repeated attempts to defragment the drive
are unsuccessful,
it may be because an application is writing to the
disk. The Disk
Defragmenter cannot share access to a drive with
other tasks.
An application loading automatically at startup may interfere with
DEFRAG.
Run DEFRAG before applications load at startup by adding
a value for
DEFRAG.EXE /ALL to the RunServicesOnce key in the
registry.
To
add a value for DEFRAG.EXE /ALL to the RunServicesOnce key:
1. Select
DEFRAG.INF in the \Tools\MTSutil folder
on the Windows 98 Second Edition
CD.

3. Choose INSTALL to add the value for DEFRAG.EXE
/ALL.
==================================================
IPAC_OFF.INF - DISABLE TCP/IP IP AUTOCONFIGURATION
==================================================
The Windows 98
TCP/IP stack supports a new mechanism for automatic
address assignment of
IP addresses for simple LAN-based network
configurations. IP
Autoconfiguration Addressing is an extension of
dynamic IP address
assignment for LAN adapters. It enables
configuration of IP addresses
without using static IP address
assignment or installing a Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) server.
If a network LAN adapter
is configured for TCP/IP, and if "Obtain
an IP address automatically" is
selected on the IP Address tab in
the TCP/IP Properties dialog box,
Windows 98 TCP/IP attempts to find
and use a DHCP service on the attached
network to obtain a
dynamically assigned IP address. If it does not find a
DHCP service,
Windows 98 uses IP Autoconfiguration Addressing by assigning
the
adapter a Class B IP address out of the network number
169.254.x.x
IP address space. In this way, two PCs can be plugged into a
LAN hub
and can start without any IP address configuration, and can
use
TCP/IP networking for internetworking. Each computer that uses IP
Autoconfiguration Addressing gets an IP address and tests to
determine
that the IP address is unique and not already in use on
the LAN.
IP Autoconfiguration Addressing is enabled by default. IP
Autoconfiguration Addressing can be controlled by setting the value
of
IPAutoconfigurationEnabled (type DWORD) in the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\DHCP
If the
value of IPAutoconfigurationEnabled is nonzero or if the
registry key is
absent, IP Autoconfiguration Addressing is enabled.
An
IPAutoconfigurationEnabled value of 0 disables the IP
Autoconfiguration
Addressing feature.
If Windows 98 initially does not detect a DHCP
service and configures
an IP Autoconfiguration IP address, and then
subsequently discovers
a DHCP service on the network, Windows 98 uses the
DHCP service and
switches from 169.254.x.x addressing to IP addresses
assigned by a
DHCP server.
To set the registry value for
IPAutoconfigurationEnabled value to 0:
1. Select IPAC_OFF.INF in the
\Tools\MTSutil folder
on the Windows 98 Second Edition CD.
2.
Right-click IPAC_OFF.INF
-or-
Hold down the SHIFT key and press
F10.
3. Choose INSTALL to modify the IPAutoconfigurationEnabled
value.
================================================
IPAC_ON.INF - ENABLE TCP/IP IP AUTOCONFIGURATION
================================================
Refer to the previous
section for information concerning
IP Autoconfiguration.
IP
Autoconfiguration Addressing is enabled if the value of
IPAutoconfigurationEnabled is nonzero or if the registry key
is
absent.
To set the registry value for IPAutoconfigurationEnabled
value to 1:
1. Select IPAC_ON.INF in the \Tools\MTSutil folder
on the Windows 98 Second Edition CD.
2. Right-click IPAC_ON.INF
-or-
Hold down the SHIFT key and press F10.
3. Choose INSTALL to
modify the IPAutoconfigurationEnabled value.
=========================================
JAVA.INF - REINSTALL JAVA
VIRTUAL MACHINE
=========================================
When
you start your computer, you may receive the following error message:
Unable to install java packages. The command line is
invalid.
Cannot find file specified - Win32.cab
Cannot find file
specified - xmldso4.cab
Cannot find file specified - dajava.cab
Cannot find file specified - iejava.cab
Cannot find file specified -
osp.zip
This behavior can occur for any of the following reasons:
- You used the System.1st file to test or correct issues with
the
registry.
- Setup stopped responding and you restarted your
computer.
To work around this behavior, use the appropriate method.
NOTE: If you restarted your computer to finish Setup, once
Setup
is complete the Microsoft Virtual Machine (VM) for Java is
functional and the error message is not displayed.
To reinstall the
Java Virtual Machine:
1. Select JAVA.INF in the \Tools\MTSutil folder
on the
Windows 98 Second Edition CD.
2. Right-click
JAVA.INF
-or-
Hold down the SHIFT key and press F10.
3.
Choose INSTALL to reinstall the Java VM.
==============================================
MAPC_OFF.INF - DISABLE
MAPPING OF CACHED PAGES
==============================================
Windows 98 supports
the mapping of cached pages to increase the
amount of memory available to
running applications. The Windows 98
memory manager architecture divides
memory into 2 parts:
- Protected-mode disk cache (VCACHE)
-
Memory allocated to run programs and hold data (VMM)
Reading from
memory is much faster than reading from the hard disk.
VCACHE improves
performance by reducing the number of times the hard
disk is accessed. A
process in memory will demand a particular
section of code; if that
section of code is in VCACHE, it can be
accessed and used much more
quickly than if that section of code
needs to be read from a file on disk.
For example, if you were to
launch an application, close it, and then
shortly thereafter launch
it a second time, the application's launch time
would now be
noticeably reduced. This is a result of copying much of
the
application from VCACHE instead of the hard disk.
Memory
allocated to the disk cache is not available to executing
processes.
Reducing the amount of memory available to running
applications negatively
impacts performance by increasing the amount
of data swapped from memory
to the hard disk. Once again, reading
from memory is much faster than
reading from the swap file on the
hard disk.
In Windows 95,
there are two instances of some code in physical
memory; one instance
stored in the disk cache to reduce the time
required to load the
application should it be invoked again, and
another instance in VMM for
the running application. Eliminating the
instance of the data in the cache
would increase the amount of memory
available to VMM, but would negatively
impact application reload times.
Windows 98 supports the mapping of
cached pages to increase the
amount of memory available to running
applications. Memory mapped
I/O from the cache eliminates needless
duplication of data while
the application is running. Application code is
loaded into VCACHE,
and then executes out of the cache rather than having
to be copied
to another part of memory before it executes. When the
application is
closed, the memory manager labels the space that
application was
using as not currently being used to maintain the benefits
of
caching--if the application is not restarted, that space is given
to
other tasks. If the application is restarted, the application
still
exists in the cache, maintaining improved application reload
times.
Windows 98 maps cached pages by default. This performance
enhancement
can be disabled by creating a MapCache entry in the registry
key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\VMM
If the
MapCache entry does not exist, Windows 98 will map cached
pages. Creating
the MapCache entry will disable the mapping of
cached pages.
To
create the registry entry for MapCache:
1. Select MAPC_OFF.INF in the
\Tools\MTSutil folder
on the Windows 98 Second Edition CD.
2.
Right-click MAPC_OFF.INF
-or-
Hold down the SHIFT key and press
F10.
3. Choose INSTALL to create the entry for
MapCache.
============================================
MAPC_ON.INF - ENABLE MAPPING OF CACHED PAGES
============================================
Refer to the previous
section for information concerning the mapping
of cached pages.
Windows 98 will map cached pages if the entry for MapCache is
absent.
To remove the registry entry for MapCache:
1.
Select MAPC_ON.INF in the \Tools\MTSutil folder
on the Windows 98 Second
Edition CD.
2. Right-click MAPC_ON.INF
-or-
Hold down the
SHIFT key and press F10.
3. Choose INSTALL to remove the entry for
MapCache.
============================================================
NNT.INF -
REMOVE THE NAMENUMERICTAIL VALUE FROM THE REGISTRY
============================================================
If you
add the "NameNumericTail=0" value to the registry (as
documented on page
688 of the Microsoft Windows 95 Resource Kit)
and then run Windows 98
Setup, Microsoft Plus! 98 Setup, or the
Add/Remove Programs tool in
Control Panel, programs in the Program
Files folder may no longer work
correctly.
When you add the "NameNumericTail=0" value to the
registry,
Windows 98 Setup, Microsoft Plus! Setup, or the Add/Remove
Programs
tool may change the short name for the Program Files folder.
For
example, if you run the Add/Remove Programs tool after you add
the
"NameNumericTail=0" value to the registry, the short name for the
Program Files folder may be changed from Progra~1 to Programf.
If the
short name for the Program Files folder is different from
the name that
the program you are trying to run expects, the program
may not be able to
locate the folders and files it needs.
Various tools and components
installed in the Program Files folder
may use short file names internally
or during installation. If the
short name for the Program Files folder is
different from the short
name expected by a tool or component, the
problems described in this
article may occur. This problem can affect any
program installed
in the Program Files folder.
The
"NameNumericTail=0" value is not supported in Windows 98.
Although this
registry value works as expected, it can cause
problems for Windows 98
components.
To correct this problem, follow these steps:
1.
Delete the value "NameNumericTail=0" from the following registry
key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem
2.
Using Windows Explorer or My Computer, rename the Program Files
folder to
Programs.fld.
3. Rename the Programs.fld folder to Program
Files.
Note: Renaming the folder forces a new short name for the
folder
to be generated.
To remove the NameNumericTail value from
the registry:
1. Select NNT.INF in the \Tools\MTSutil folder
on
the Windows 98 Second Edition CD.
2. Right-click NNT.INF
-or-
Hold down the SHIFT key and press F10.
3. Choose INSTALL to
remove the NameNumericTail value.
=========================================
NOIDE.INF - REMOVE THE NOIDE
REGISTRY KEY
=========================================
If your
computer contains a PCI-IDE hard disk controller that
employs
serialization between the two IDE channels, you may
experience the
following problems:
- 32-bit file system access and 32-bit virtual
memory are
not available.
- Device Manager displays an
exclamation point in a yellow
circle for the primary and secondary IDE
channels.
Removing and reinstalling the hard disk controller does
not
resolve the problem.
This can occur if the protected-mode
driver for the hard disk
controller was not properly initialized when you
started
Windows 98 previously. When this occurs, a NOIDE entry is
placed
in the registry, preventing Windows 98 from making future
attempts
to initialize the protected-mode driver.
This problem
can occur with an IDE controller that requires
serialization between the
primary and secondary IDE channels.
The protected-mode drivers for these
IDE controllers can fail to
be initialized if one of the following
situations occurs:
- One IDE channel has a supported hard disk, and
the second channel
has a CD-ROM or other type of drive that requires
real-mode
drivers to be loaded. Because of the serialization between the
two
IDE channels, it is impossible to access the hard disk in
protected mode and use the other device in real mode. This causes
the
protected-mode driver to fail initialization, and the NOIDE
switch is
placed in the registry to prevent future errors. Both
disk devices then
operate in real-mode.
- The driver for the IDE controller is manually
removed from
Device Manager and then reinstalled, or the protected-mode
driver
is disabled and then re-enabled. Some PCI controller drivers
are
not designed for dynamic enabling and disabling, and can cause
the
protected-mode driver to fail initialization.
To cause
Windows 98 to attempt to reinitialize the protected-mode IDE
driver,
remove the NOIDE entry from the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\IOS
To
remove the NOIDE entry from the registry:
1. Select NOIDE.INF in the
\Tools\MTSutil folder
on the Windows 98 Second Edition CD.
2.
Right-click NOIDE.INF
-or-
Hold down the SHIFT key and press
F10.
3. Choose INSTALL to remove the NOIDE entry.
After you
update the registry, restart Windows 98. Windows 98 will
then attempt to
initialize the protected-mode driver for the
controller. If no problems
are encountered, the file system and
virtual memory will operate in 32-bit
mode, and Device Manager will
not display an exclamation point in a yellow
circle for the IDE
channels.
If the protected-mode driver is not
initialized properly, an error
message will be displayed and the NOIDE
registry entry will be
recreated. Windows 98 will use the MS-DOS
compatibility mode file
system the next time you start the
computer.
====================================================================
