GigaFast 802.11b USB adapter
Wireless network issue

New MessageGigaFast 802.11b USB adapter (modified 0 times) KneuB_2

I obtained a couple of the GigaFast 802.11b USB adapters so my little girl could play on Barbie.com a little more efficiently. After installing the drivers (Win 98) I keep getting the message;

The ZDconfig.exe file is linked to missing export MFC42.DLL:6907

I have repeated the setup several times now with the drivers that came on the CD plus downloaded the latest drivers form the GigaFast site and repeated the process several times. In addition I downloaded various versions of the MFC42.DLL and tried them without success. What other options do I have to get this thing running?

OK I have now downloaded and installed all the system and critical updates .... no success yet. I have also run the System File Checker (SFC). One file "user.exe" has either been deleted or become corrupt and needs reinstalled. The installation wizard is unable to fine it in the CAB file. "user.exe" does not sound like something that should be of concern to this issue but I'm grabbing at straws here so where can I get a copy?

Any suggestions would be very appreciated.

In the device manager (Win 98) there is a conflict listed. Under "Hard Disc Controllers" is listed "VIA Bus Master PCI IDE Controller" (with a yellow exclamation mark). The properties for the VIA Bus Master PCI IDE Controller states "This device is causing a resource conflict (code 15)". The Resource tab states;
"Interupt Request 15 used by Cyberblade i7 AGP (v6.50.5482-10)"
"Interupt Request 15 used by VIA VT83C572/VT82C586 PCI to USB Universal Host"

This conflict does not sound right to me, how do I correct it?

I don't mean to sound ignorant, but have you installed all the drivers recommended on this BBS? You might also want to look at my post concerning the D-Link DWL-122. I didn't have the conflicts in Device Mgr. you mentioned, but your installation experience sounds very similar to what I just went through. Worse comes to worse you could try the D-Link DWL-122

Thanks for the reply, it was getting really lonely in this thread.

This i-opener is the V3b with all the goo still intact (I just love the irony of that). Back when drivers were discussed heavely I followed the thread rather closely and the only drivers that I recall ever being recomended for this i-o version were the upgraded USB drivers from VIA Arena, and the cyberblade video driver and as I recall I did both. However, I admit my memory is a little foggy on that so I just went back to those threads to freshen up a little and noticed something that I don't recall ever having read. In the post IOPENER DRIVERS By Bad Flash he mentioned the need for setting the IDE to a single channel or it generates conflicts. I'll try that next and see if that helps, but other than that if you know of any recommended drivers that I may have missed please point them out.

Thank you

Setting the "IDE to single primary only" resolved the "interupt request 15" conflict mentioned above but the initial problem "The ZDconfig.exe file is linked to missing export MFC42.DLL:6907" is still with me. Any more suggestions?

Well, I don't think the IDE setting to one channel had anything to do with it, because (doh!)I checked mine and had the same problem until last night. I corrected it thanks to you for pointing it out, but I still was able to hook up my DWL-122 USB adapter prior to correcting it.

Just a couple of thoughts:
1. Are you using W98SE or the 1st edition of W98? I was able to get mine working with my W98SE Iopener, but was never able to get my K6 desktop with 1st edition to get going. Now I was able to get the driver installed, just could never get the configuration program to run.
2. How are you getting the drivers onto the Iopener? I tried loading everything direct from my thumbdrive first, but then ended up copying the program/drivers from the thumbdrive into a newly created file on my C: drive and then ran it from that file. I'm not sure what the difference is, maybe it was just a coincidence, but that's how it worked for me.
Also, rather than having the installer use the 'CAB' file, I created another new file and that seemed to make a big difference. Again, not sure why and maybe just dumb luck, but it worked. I had the same problem as the installer could never find anything in the 'CAB' file. Weird.

I set my Iopener up for my kids to avoid fighting over the main family computer but my 10 year old son complains it's not fast enough for his Neopets games. Fortunately my 13 year old daughter is more into emailing friends and downloading anime art so speed is not critical. I use it to email, check bank accounts and sports teams and surf ebay while my wife watches TV and reads so she doesn't complain about me being away with the main computer!

Anyway, let me know if any of those ideas above works.

I'm running Win 98SE. I installed the drivers from my thumb drive several times and then I just downloaded them straight from the manufacturers web site. All methods seem to install just fine. I just can't get past that missing export MFC42.DLL:6907 message however. I've been re-reading all the threads on installing Win 98 and I'm starting to think that maybe the OS is partially still thinking that it's installed in the desktop machine that I originally used to do the install. I'm now trying to figure a way to clean out all the registries of all the chip set info etc. so I do not have to do an all new clean install. Any suggestions?

Well, I'm not really sure how to do that to be honest, but at the same time I'm not sure you need to. I would think if all your hardware drivers show no conflict in Device Manager you should be set. I may be showing my ignorance here. I'm running out of ideas short of getting a new USB device to try. Maybe you know someone with a USB wireless that you could borrow for a weekend and see if that works? If it does, sell the Gigafast on Ebay and buy the one that does work. Your delta$ is probably $10, but you've probably spent that much in frustration.

OK I have decided to flatten the HD and do a clean install to see If that will fix things. My game plan was to install the contents of a startup disk on the sandisk and add USB support to the DOS system so I could run the install CD off my USB CD-RW. At least that was my game plan. So far I have used Fdisk to delete the four partitions on the sandisk and create a primary DOS partition that consumes the entire sandisk. Fdisk would not allow me to set it as active. After rebooting into windows 98 I formated the sandisk drive from the explorer window with the"copy sys files" check box checked. It formated as FAT12, whatever that is, and added a few DOS systems files. I booted back into MS/DOS and Fdisk still would not let me set the partition as active. On the next boot I used tab cntrl alt esc to enter the BIOS setup and set the boot order to start with the sandisk. Upon rebooting I get "Invalid Startup Disk" error and everything just hanges. Reset the BIOS start sequence and booted back into windows. I then attempted to create an emergencey startup disk which of course is not possible since there is no "A:" drive. Any suggestions here would be greatly appreciated.

Fdisk will not let you set more than one hd to active. You need a third party like
Ranish to set it active or 128.

Ahhhh!!!

I used Ranish to set the sandisk drive active (I think), anyway I no longer get the "Invalid Startup Disk" error message when trying to boot from it. Instead I get an almost 1/2 second flash of the Win 98 logo before it reverts back to the I-opener Welcome screen, which at this point is in a rather wierd gray scale, and there it hangs. I suspect I have hosed the autoexec.bat and/or the config.sys files which I had to build from scratch since I wanted to add the USB support.

If anyone has been able to make the sandisk drive bootable (DOS) would you explain how you did it please. A drive image to download would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You

$#!^

It sure should be simple but that does not seem to be the case. I took Wednesday off work to accomplish this - no luck - Thursday night untill 1:00 AM - no luck - tonight and it is now almost 1:00 AM and still the same problem. I have FDISKed this SoB so many times I have long lost track. I have partitioned this thing in every size imaginable both from FDISK and Ranish. The only thing that was consistent among all of these was that I activated the primary partition with Ranish. Some times I formated it before making it active and other time I formated it after making it active. Some times I formated it from windows, sometimes from DOS and sometimes from Ranish. I have tried adding the Sys files at the time of format and I have tried various imaging applications to copy existing boot disks onto the drive. BTW: most of them simply would not work because this is the D: drive and not the A: or B: drive. The one DOS imaging application that I did find that supposidly does not care if the target drive is A: B: D: or whatever....simply didn't work. In all cases every attempt to boot from the D: drive ended the same way; After the I-opener Welcome screen there was a momentary flash of the Win 98 boot screen and then back to the I-o welcome screen except at this point the screen was always in a rather weird gray scale mode .... and there it would hange.

95% of the attemps were of the following order:

Delete all Partitions
Create new partition(s)
activate the partition
Format and add system files to the partition
change the boot sequence
reboot

The few times when this was not the sequence I only varied the sequence by formating the drive befor making the partition active.

I have also gone back and read as many of the posts on this subject that I could find and the interesting thing is that every post that I found was someone talking about what they believed should be possible but not one real success story among them. I find it real difficult to believe that this is not possible, but I'm running out of options to try. The one thing that really bothers me is getting a momentary flash of the Windows Boot screen during a DOS boot. This just doesn't make any sence. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated about now.

if you need help get ahold of me. As for the booting off a sandisk there are a bunch of things which can make it not happen. first question I have is do you have a cdrom setup on the system yes no? if yes remove it. The sandisk is set as slave PEIROD. if you have a hard drive setup on the iopener is it set as master??? if not set it to master. as for setting up partition's on the sandisk. Its fat12 but any formatting software will set that automaticly. First things you really need to do is update your bios if you have not done so already. version 5.4 bios ?? that will solve a lot of problems. Other wise you have to have a bunch of things in an autoexec.bat and config.sys for TSR's. next getting the sandisk bootable is easy. wiping out the partition's can be a @#%@#$ at times. boot off a hard drive and get to a dos prompt. bring up ranish partition switch to second ide device which should be the sandisk. WIPE it out erease all partition's on the sandisk and save then get out of the program. next bring up fdisk type "fdisk d: /mbr" thats going by memory?? if it works it will clean the master boot reccord on the sandisk. ok next bring up fdisk. once in switch to the sandisk which should be the second drive. make a standerd partition FULL thing. it will automaticly make it fat12. now get out and format the drive. "format d: /s" the s switch is for system or BOOTable. now that that is done get back into ranish. you'll need to switch to the sandisk and set it active. once that is done save and exit. reboot and get into the bios. SET it to boot from D: drive. if you did all of that correctly there is NO reason why it shouldnt boot just fine. and give you a dos prompt.
Now for the driver problem with the 802.11 card thing. if you dont have the usb mode changed via the dos fix OR the updated bios your going to have all kinds of wierd problems period. Now you said that you had some kind of user.exe problem??? that to me says VIRUS all over it. chck your virus scanner that its updated. nortan or avg. AVOID AVP software.
You maywant to try the first aid software thing as well? Also as for the bandiwth of that adapter you got hehe. the usb ports on the iopener are usb 1.1. thats basicly 1meg a second or less. Depends on the processor. If you have a k6 processor at 400mhz or faster you'll utilize the full speed of the ports. Any thin less then that and you wont really ever achieve full speed of the ports. Besides 10 base T is 10megabit which is 1.24megabytes a second in both directions at the same time. 100base-T is about 12megabytes a second. gigabit is about 54megabytes a second. If i remember correctly.
Dont forget you CANT boot the iopener at any thing past 300mhz. You can overclock it onces its up and running but not befor. Thats why the amd k6-2 550mhz mobel processor is the best choice. Because you can overclock it to 600mhz easy. 650 with good cooling. 700mhz is possable but requires exteam air cooling and one bleep OF a heat synk setup.
If you get the deep back for your iopener you can hide a nice big heat synk inside but trust me cut a hole for the fan. Box gets hot. I have mine setup with a nice 60gig hard drive fullsize and cdrom and 256megs ram. I run mine with a k6-3 450 moble processor at 550mhz and a speical heat synk setup sucking the air threw an air duct setup to a fan blowing air OUT side of the case. So the case is very cool very stable. I can acheave 600mhz for about 20-30min under heavy load but its just to much for the heat synk to cool oh well. ??? :) water cooling lol!

I could give you a dolly image of a DOS boot image for the sandisk.
oh ya I remember now boot to the hard drive get to a straight dos prompt. You said you have a working dos partition even with the extra partitions. if thats the case change to that drive so "cd d:" then type "fdisk /mbr" for the /mbr thing to work you must be ON that logic drive. that will make it finaly boot. The reason its not booting for you is because there is a linux boot manager in the boot reccord basicly a form of lilo. Thats why its freezing after you boot. dont forget if you dont have windows/command in your path code of your hard drive in your autoexec just type path=c:\windows©ommand\ anywares. You are running win98se right? I'd put money on it that that will fix your issues. But trust me use ranish to get rid of the non dos partition's. Between this post and the other one you should be all set.

My system:
i-opener:
V3b (with all the goo still intact, Rezz was right the irony is to delicious)
CD-Rom: None
Hard Drive: 10 GB (set as master) Single partition (Can't remember the model)
OS: Win98Se
BIOS: Flashed it once using QNX flash, but I do not remember what version of the BIOS I flashed. I will flash it to 5.40a just to make certain that it is the latest. Of course now that I've have wiped the sandisk clean I no longer have a QNX OS so I shall have to try my luck with UniFlash. I hope it works, I heard there was a new release recently.
Mouse: USB
keyboard: Standard Dell

Your comments on wiping clean the Master Boot Record have me a little confused. If I understand you correctly, if I run in MSdos mode off the c: drive the "Fdisk D: /MBR" command will not work because I'm not running off the sandisk. But by doing a "Format D: /s" then "cd D:" I can then do "Fdisk /MBR" and that whould clean the master boot record, because at that point I would be ON that logic drive. Is that the gist of what I think I just read?

I would love to have a copy of a working DOS sandisk image. I used to have dolly here some place because I used it to put the early sandisk image onto the HD in-order to flash the BIOS since the V3b Bios had to somehow identify the QNX system or it would not allow the machine to boot. I'm sure I can dig dolly up again somewhere. If the image is only a few meg it should fit in my e-mail, any larger and we will have to try something else.

Virus...Hmmmm. I scan this thing on a regular basis but I shall update all the Norton DAT files and scan it again before I flatten it. In fact, now that I think about it, this is my daughters machine and it is the only one that does not have Spybot running on it as well, I'll give that a try before I flatten it also.

Partial Success

I used UniFlash V 1.29 to flash the BIOS. I do not recall where I got it from as I have had it for some time now, but I probably got it from UniFlash.org (BTW: They released V1.36 two days ago). I flashed the V540a BIOS that I downloaded from itresource.com. Placed both in the same folder on the C: drive and re-booted in MSDos mode. Ran the command "Uniflash -E V540a.bin" It ran the process without my interference. Everything works great and I now get the V540a Bios screen at boot. Now the really good part. I changed the boot drive in the Bios and re-booted off the sandisk....IT WORKED! without having to delete partitions and reformat etc. all over again. That is right .... the same boot image that hung on every previous attempt, now works.

Now I'm wondering if I really need to flatten and re-install the OS to get the wireless adapter to work.....Hmmmm? I shall have to look into that next.

Just for the record; This machine is the V3b and it is now running with the latest and greatest Bios V540a and it still has all the original hacker stopping goo "intact". Rezz was correct; There is something really pleasing about that

The V540a Bios does indeed clean up a lot of sins but it did not resolve the missing export DLL. I shall go play with the virus toys for awhile and then finish the DOS boot drive to see if I can flatten and re-install throug the USB port.

Glad to be of survice. need any thing else just ask. err email.
the latest bios added the memory interleave mode 4 thing. and a bunch of other things. Also ifyou add a cdrom, there is a thing in the bios called smartdrive or something like that. As a boot drive option. If you choose that its just some boot manager which has the ablity to boot from a cdrom if you so have one installed. Also if you should install a cdrom. IT HAS to be a cdrom that you can set to or is already set to slave. there is a small list of slim laptop cdrom's which fit the ticket. and any full sized drive with jumpers works. :) tahts part of why I like the deep back for my iopener so much. Then when YOu have a cdrom loaded if your running off of the hard drive the sandisk is disabled in the bios and the cdrom is slave. you can have the cdrom be master and run off of the sandisk but why??

Well the virus stuff didn't help. I have the sandisk booting well but I can't get the USB CD-ROM to work. When I use and editor to open each of the various drivers that I have for it (98, ME, 2000, XP, ?) the first line on each is something to the effect "This program cannot be run in DOS mode". Interesting twist, the CD-ROM (actually it is a CD-RW) works great under Win 98, but when I open the device manager to see what driver it uses there is a note that says: "No driver files are required or have been loaded for this device". From that I assume this CD-RW meets the Plug and Play standard for USB (actually it said something to that effect in the documentation as I recall). Is there such a thing as a DOS extention that would provide that funtionality when booting from DOS?

Since I am having so much luck with accessing an external drive and I do not have one of those few laptop CD_ROMs that can be set to slave, I decided that while I seek an answer to the question above I would try to partition off a section of the HD and place the Win98 flat files there. That way I figure that I could boot off the sandisk format the boot partition and run the Win98 setup to install a clean Win98. Unfortunately the HD partition is so hosed that neither Ranish or Partition Magic could do anything with it, other than delete it and start over. In hind site I'm kind of wondering why I am still able to run off of it.

I guess the gist of all this is if there is no way to see an external drive through the USB port when running off the sandisk then using the sandisk as an emergency recovery drive is just wishful thinking. Something is wrong with this picture?

Before I open this thing up and put the HD into a desk top machine to work on, does anybody have any suggestions for resolvinng this delima?

Update

The generic "any mass storage device" driver USBCD.SYS found here has made it possible for me to see my Hi-Val 6x4x6 USB CD-RW when booting off the sandisk using DOS. Now I shall flatten the HD and see if I can figure out a way to install the OS even though the setup file on the CD will not run under DOS.

The Plan, The Execution, and The O$#!*%[/dolor]

The plan was to slice off a small partition on the hard drive and copy onto it an image of the bootable OS installation CD, then make the partition active, boot from it and run the installation program to install the OS onto the main partition, reset the main partition as active and go from there. That was the plan.

I used Ranish to reduce the main partition on my 10 GB HD to 7.5 GB so I could create a 2.5 GB partition for the CD image. I was having difficulty getting Ranish to create a second partition with the 2.5 GB of free space so I decided to jsut delete all partitions and start from scratch. I have now made multiple attemps to rebuild the partitions using both Ranish and Fdisk and neither of them will even recognize the existance of more than 7.5 GB of space PERIOD. I have tried to zero out the HD with Ranish to try and regain the lost 2.5 GB but Ranish craps out with an error code before it can complete the task. I have not been able to determine if the error code point coincides with the 7.5 GB point, but I suspect it does.

At this point neither Ranish or Fdisk will even recognize the existance of more than 7.5 GB of space on this drive. It is interesting to note that one of the first attemps to reclaim the drive was to simply re-format it under DOS and when I did that the format routine recognized the entire HD, but it only did it the one time, now it agrees with Ranish.

I'm off to see if I can find the manufactures low level format software to try and recover the drive.

This project has gone from bad to ugly. I shall let you know what happens.

Status

The HD is a 12.07 GB Hitachi (I had assumed it to be a 10GB without checking, poor memory) and the Hitachi low level format utility identifies it properly. However what ever I did to slice of the last half of the drive, I did real well. It is now a 7.56 GB hard drive in great working order and I am just going to have to live with that. It is rather strange though, almost seems like I have somehow modified some firmware that limits the size, I just don't get it. Anway back to the task at hand.

I ran into a very similar situation about three months back with a 12GB IBM Travelstar that I had wiped. Had a devil of a time figuring out the problem, but I think I finally narrowed it down to the flavor of DOS I was using. I originally partitioned and formatted the drive on a friend's Win98 machine with no problems. When I later re-partitioned the drive, I had to use a different machine booted from an MSDOS 6.22 floppy. Neither FDISK nor Ranish would recognize anything over 8GB on any machine I tried using these tools, so I eventually began to suspect that either A) the drive was toast, or B) DOS 6.22 had an 8GB upper limit. My eventual solution was to download a tool that creates a Win98 DOS bootable floppy and use that, along with Win98's FDISK to reaccomplish the task. The missing space magically reappeared, unharmed. Ranish works properly under this version of DOS, too.

I can't remember exactly where I got MY version, but the same material seems to be available at bootdisk.com. Try it, and I bet your drive is as good as new. -Spike

I removed the HD from the i-o (kind of defeats the purpsoe of an emergency boot sandisk) and instaled it into a machine with an A: drive and booted from the Hitichi (That is my HD) DFT (Drive Fittness Test) disk (PC DOS 7.0) and ran the low level format utility from there. I have a 12 Gb drive back. Thanks for the tip. Now while I have it out of the i-opener I will re-partition, format and finish the clean install of Win98 so I can try to make this thing go wireless. I shall then attack the issue of a propper emergency boot sandisk in the Win98 & Sandisk thread while I await for Wild_Pencil's annoucement of a successful TFT screen patch.

Thanks again for the tip
