Win98 SE Registry

Question

I am trying to add NTLM 2 to my Win98 SE OS for networking with Vista. MS article 239869 shows how to do this but I got hung-up on the article's registry additions needed to enable NTLM 2. I call up regedit and get to the right key but I don't know how to add the values to LSA.  Under Edit, regedit doesn't ask for input to the various items (Value Name, Data Type, Value, Valid Range and Description).  By the way, LSA was already there with a directry under it named SSO that has a value of SSOURL 'http:/www.passport.com'. I don't know what that is about. Anyways, how do I enter the values from the MS article to get NTLM enabled?   Thanks. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. -Art

Hi Art, Once you have highlighted LSA, either from Edit or via a right click, select 'New' and you will be able to enter all the required new key information. Jim McNamara

Jim- Thanks for the quick reply. You are dealing with a dunce here, so I need more of your expertise.   After I right-clicked on LSA and NEW, I get a column with Key at the top (underlined) over String Value, Binary Value and DWord Value.   Keying on 'Key' allowed me to enter a sub-key under LSA which is LMCompatability (if I'm following this right). Right-click/New on LMCompatability and pressing StringValue puts 'New Value #1' in the key value section.   Baed on the values MS says I need, I'm now cofused on what to do next.  What I need is:   Value Name: LMCompatability Data Type: REG_WORD Value: 3 Valid Range: 0,3 Description This parameter......   Any additional help you can offer is greatly appreciated. If you can, exactly what does this registry key look like?   Thanks again   -Art

Jim-   OOPS, I sent this a little early by mistake   Anyways, the value reads'   LMCompatability     0x00000003 (3)   I hope that this is correct.   Thanks for your help.   -Art

Jim- I think I have it now. Please let me know if I'm still not there.   I now have a registry entry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrectControlSet\Control\LSA   The value I have for LSA is   LMCompatability

Art, Assuming that the sub-key is supposed to have a DWORD value and that DWORD value is supposed to be 3, then you are, but how about replying back with the link to the MS article cited, so I can verify. Thanks. Jim McNamara

Jim-   Here's the MS article:   http://support.microsoft.com/kb/239869/   I really appreciate your work on this.   -Art

Art,

Thanks for confirming the MS article. I glanced through it previously. It appears that you set up the LSA registry sub-key (LMCompatibility) properly assuming that the chosen value (level 3) is what you want.

Jim-   Thanks for you effort on this.  I appreciate it.   I believe 3 is what I want. The article seems to say that 0 is the only other valid value. My changing the value will not be as daunting as adding it.   I got a copy of Reg Organizer by ChemTable Software. It was a lot more intuitive than good old regedit, so I followed their format.   What I'm trying to do here is network my old XPS-500 (old), upgraded with 1.4 Celeron, 98SE with my new XPS-410 Vista.  One part is getting NTLM 2 onto the 98SE machine.  Still no net but I think I'm getting there.    Enjoy   -Art
