Guest henry Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 Opera 9.5 for Win 98 gives a startup message saying you need a me version of msimg32.dll.

Guest MEB Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 Re: Where can one get download of msimg32.dll for me? It appears that a reasonable answer was already presented for why this occurs: QUOTE There were problems in 9.5 on Win9x systems, caused by problems in the old dll. Not just in the final build, it has been more work then in earlier versions to make sure Opera 9.5 works properly on Win9x systems. If you don't use areas in Opera were transparency is used, you might not notice. And since it's 10 years now since those OS's were new, the developers opted for the quick solution of not modifying their code to work around these issues, but issue a warning. But of course it is annoying to get that popup every time, so the next release will probably have a 'do not show again' checkbox. Rijk van Geijtenbeek Opera Software ASA, Documentation & QA END QUOTE Just a question since I have the old version 9.27 for testing: what is so important or new in this 9.5 release anyway.. What is it, more people demanding XP/VISTA eye candy [transparency] in their applications instead of functionality... IF you really think you need this junk, then download the correct version. Opera apparently still functions WITHOUT upgrading that DLL, though I see why it was brought to the attention of the developer... as was noted by Rijk, these OSs are over 10 years old, so it would appear that any competent programmer would not need to spend much time understanding work arounds necessary for compatibility.. ME? I'll wait for the update/fixed version.. -- MEB http://peoplescounsel.orgfree.com -- _________ "henry" <henrh@nospam.com> wrote in message news:OtoLX1fzIHA.1772@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... | Opera 9.5 for Win 98 gives a startup message saying you need a me | version of msimg32.dll.

Guest MEB Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 Re: Where can one get download of msimg32.dll for me? Okay, that makes some sense then. I had noticed that the 09.27 version was slower at loading and some sites than some of the older versions. Hopefully the programmers can straighten out the code in the fix release. I found a similar issue discussed here [regarding Miranda]: http://forums.miranda-im.org/archive/index.php?t-13660.html It would seem that there is a failure to understand proper registry and DLL call entries by the newer/younger programmers. Then again, many of the newer compilers are NOT compiling properly for cross platform applications as support has been drop in THEIR coding. -- MEB http://peoplescounsel.orgfree.com -- _________ "Ingeborg" <a@b.invalid> wrote in message news:Xns9ABF9042187BDabinvalid@217.21.244.90... | MEB wrote: | | > Just a question since I have the old version 9.27 for testing: what | > is so important or new in this 9.5 release anyway.. | > | | It's *fast*.

I don't know where you're talking about. Opera warns at startup that the detected msimg32 version is to old for optimal rendering, especially when transparency is involved. That's all. No bugs/crashes whatever. You can happily ignore the message. I didn't notice any difference when I added the ME dll. (Except I didn't get a warning anymore).

Like I said, something popped up in my mind concerning the gdiplus.dll but it was one of those "aaaahhh, huh" moments... If you searched for other like errors with MSIMG32.DLL you would have found numerous instances of that very issue cropping up for years, but particularly since last year when using certain programming applications and compilers [hence my other comment related to that].

After upgrading to 9.5, and while downloading a 20MB file with the Transfer window open, Resource Meter showed that the System and GDI resources were rapidly disappearing. Closing the transfer window, without interrupting the download, stopped the rot, but by that time my resources were in the red. Only after exiting Opera was I able to reclaim most (all?) of the lost resources. - Franc Zabkar -- Please remove one 'i' from my address when replying by email.
