SDCcentral crashes on a WIN98 PC

[neophil78]

Hi everyone (if someone goes over her LoL)

I still get (and use) a PC (laptop) With Win98 SE, and a graphic
card"Silicom Motion Inc. LynxEm SM710, with the latest drivers avaible
for it (V 4.13.01.0075) - The laptop is a bit old but it still goes on
LoL
I updated SDC to version 2.20.35 build 35 and since then, each time i
load SDC i get an error message which indicates a "general breakdown" in
SMDRV.DRV (which is the driver of the graphic card ...) and SDC stops

I managed with "removal7.zip" tool to go back (i think) to the just
previous version but each time i relaunch SDC, it auto-repair to version
2.20.35 build 35, and the trouble is coming back ;-(

Any tip for me to solve this problem ? (getting a much newer version of
SDC which would be OK ... or what to do in any case ...)

Thanks in advance

Current version is: 2.21a[b].164 build 106
Check your internet settings, it's may be set to hold cached content indefinitely and NOT to check
for newer content. A possible solution would be to clear the internet cache, set it to always check
for changes, and set a reasonable expiration time: no more than 7 days.
You can also go to the StarDock web site to download and install the current version.

AAAAAAAARggggggggggggg, it crashes again, though i decided to uninstall
all what was installed as Stardock softwares, reboot and so, then
uninstall SDC, reboot and so, clean up all files from Stardock on disk
and in registry, then i'm trying to reinstall SDC with latest version
re-download on Stardock website (called sdcentral_setup.exe - should it
be too much to tell which version it is like
sdcentral_V_xxx_xxx_build_xxx_setup.exe ???), and the installation
failed with a beautifull message from SDC saying :"failed to load
inetconfig.dll. Please reinstall the apllication to correct the
problem."

That make me MORE than nervous, that stupid kind of SDC for installing/
uninstalling other softwares !!!!

So what i'm going to do know ? still trying different things during full
days for succeed to re-install these products
