OK, so yet again I got questions. The setup I am running right now is triboot with 2000/XP/vista.

Well, I get an update error with IE9 on vista. I am currently in 2000 and trying to listen to pandora, but it is pulling a **** you phase and throwing an error with flash. No problem, update flash player. Well it is in on it and throwing an error too.

to be exact. Well, is there anything I can do? or am I stuck with running form Media Players Radio?
 
Are you trying to install flash player on Windows 2000 or older?

If so,that OS has different DLL functions and a lot less than XP has and for today's things those functions ARE NEEDED in order for most of the software to work.Every DLL file has so called CLASSES,METHODS,FUNCTIONS and so on and each one of them contains functions for certain things in order for them to work wether it is OS itself or ANY type of software.

The error called "The procedure entry point setvbuf could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll" which you are getting is caused by the file called "KERNEL32.dll".Windows 2000 AND Windows XP both have that file called "KERNEL32.dll",but the classes,methods,functions and so on (programming code) in the Windows XP "KERNEL32.dll" file are very different and contains a lot bug fixes and a lot of added new enhanced features which "KERNEL32.dll" file in WINDOWS 2000 DOES NOT CONTAIN/HAVE.And unforcenately most of today's software/programs NEEDS those KERNEL32.dll functions in order to work which of course are NOT included in Windows 2000 "KERNEL32.dll" file.
That is why older software DOES work on Windows 2000 since those newer functions (Windows XP) when that old software was made still did not exist or they were in the development.
But today is 2012. and a LOT of new made software including that new flash player depends on those newer DLL functions in order to work which were not included in Windows 2000 OS or older OS(s).

You CAN make a backup of the original "KERNEL32.dll" file (just in case) and then replace it with the newer one since the newer one contains all old functions plus those new functions which are neccessary like in your case.
Be sure to do that OUTSIDE the Windows environment.Use Linux Ubuntu to do that.
However be careful since that CAN cause serious problems because using DLL files from newer OS such as Windows XP on older OS such as Windows 2000 is always a bad idea,but feel free to try.
If you experience any problems,just use Linux Ubuntu to return the original DLL file back.

The best solution to your problem is to use Windows XP with the service pack 1 or newer.

This is one of the reasons why I make my own DLL files for my own software so that it never ever depends on OS DLL files and on that way it works perfectly even on Windows 98 first edition.




Cheers!

ok, so to keep it simple, how would someone that does not even know what a dll is go about modding it to the windows XP dll? I assume it would be as simple as copying and replacing it? or is it more complicated than that?
 
Well there is a SIMPLE and HARD way.

SIMPLE: replace that file with the one from XP using let's say Linux Ubuntu...

HARD: open that DLL file and write neccessary functions in it and save it.This requires a good programming knowledge so I would suggest you to avoid this way because it's a nightmare lol...


But like I said...replacing OS files with the ones from newer OS is never a good idea.So make SURE you make a backup of the original file before replacing it.On that way you can always return it back if something doesn't work correctly.

ok, rather than take a stab at fixing 2000 to run pandora, I am just going to use media player. It will suffice for school lesiure.

Ok, so next question. Is there a way to hide my windows partitions from each other? Like right now in 2000 I see my 2000, XP and Vista partition, as well as the data partition. Is there a way I can just block XP and vista from sight so that when I go to Mycomputer, all I see is C:/ and E:/data, and whatever flashkey I have in and the CD drive?
 
I am sorry what was that?
