This is one way to correct the problem.

I have as someone on the MSFN forum suggested was to modify some registry entries then replace the driver, but even though Adobe flash is reported as 10,0,45,2 when I enter an address on google and the street view appears when I click on the picture or the street view wording I either get a message telling me I need to have version 10 of the Adobe flash player, or if I double click on the image all I get is a large black screen with nothing in it. I have done exactly as you said on the google group page that had the link to the modified driver. Hope you can help me, perhaps I need to start all over again. Hope to hear from you I love 98 as a system. Regards

Yes - earlier today I tried maps.google.com and the street-view option rendered a black screen instead of the street-view image. This is with the version-9 flash DLL file that was modified to appear as a version-10 DLL. I'm going to look into that in more detail over the next few days. In the mean time, street-view still works on win-98 systems with Kernel-Ex and a real copy of flash-10 installed on it. There may be no solving this except to install Kernel-Ex just so you can install the real Flash version 10. Besides, there are many other benefits of installing Kernel-Ex.

Besides, there are many other > benefits of installing Kernel-Ex. There was a reason that I really can't remember why I removed the KernelEx from my computer, it caused something not to work that I really needed if I remember correctly, so I would prefer a fix without installing it again if that is indeed possible of course. Why do you think it doesn't work now though? you think that google have caught on about it perhaps? I amended a registry entry description for the flash player to say 10 instead of 9, was that ok to do that? I ask as only 2 instances were reported to require to be changed, but this was a third instance of version 9.0.277.0 showing under the term description in the registry. |
