I deleted once more any *.d and *.o files, executed "make clean" and
"make".
There is no problem compiling and installing all from scratch.

But explorer terminates unexpected in Bochs and in VMWare.
Winehello and Winemine can be launchud without problems.
I am also using the Dlls of 23.12. from Filip's web site like you.


Do you also see the Freeloader message "bootvideo.sys not found?"
I have always to press <RETURN> to aknowledge this.

Now I've got it!
The problem only shows of with the Unicode version of explorer.
Please try to reproduce it with explorer build by "make UNICODE=1",
or use that in my downloadable archive at
http://www.sky.franken.de/explorer/ros-explorer.zip .

Fixed now in CVS. I must apologize for this very stupid cut & paste bug.

OK - thanks! Now it works again in UNICODE mode.

But it's the first time I had to increase the system memory in Bochs to 64 MB.
32 MB is no more enough, now it prints out while loading Unicode explorer:
(mm/pagefile.c:131) MM: Out of swap space.

Regards,

  Martin

I'm almost sure there are some big memory leaks. If I will have some 
free time I'll try to track them.

Thanks for testing,
Filip

You have to update FreeLoader, this problem was fixed in CVS few weeks ago.

Where can I get the latest one - my bookmarked link (http://reactos.wox.org/) does not
work any more.

Ok - I got the newset freeloader and can now boot with activated boot logo.
When the command prompt apears, there seems to be missing the console
font. Where should I look for the font file, or is this a display driver bug?
