Where can one get download of msimg32.dll for me?

[Guest henry]

Opera 9.5 for Win 98 gives a startup message saying you need a me

version of msimg32.dll. See

I have looked in the top listed google dll download sites and

they have version 5.1.2600.1106 which says xpsp1.

Mine is 5.00.1693.1. I find some references on the net to

5.00.2218, which may be the me one.

 

Does anyone know where to find this me version of msimg32.dll?

The ME version of msimg32.dll is 5.0.2218.1 .

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.

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..

It's *fast*. I did some tests with different websites, and in all cases

O9.27 used twice the processortime to render the site.

That is v. 5.0.2180.1. Not sure I'd be putting that one in there. It's

definitely from Win2K.

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.

HMMM,,,,

This isn't one of those issues which previously required developers to

include GDIPLUS.DLL in their application coding and install folder, and

direct the coding through this library first??? Seems I remember something

about this, but that's soooo long ago.. any coders monitoring here?

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].

 

BTW: where DID you download the ME version, or did you have it locally? I

found lots of XPSP1-2 versions and noted that they had created issues in

certain cases/configurations when attempted at use..

I'm going back to 9.26.

 

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.

My bad. I downloaded it and thought I had double checked the version

too. I quess the similar set of numbers keyed the transposing gene

and I fell for my own defect without a clue I had done anything wrong.
