You are right, I checked again - this time on Windows 98SE. Only http is working with Google on Retrozilla, but Advanced Search and Cookie-dialogs not. Kameleon 9x same results. Both without KernelEx.

I would stick to ntfs if I were you.

No. Windows XP does not support AHCI natively. "AHCI drivers are not native to an off the shelf Windows XP installation CD" https://www.dell.com/community/en/conversations/locked-topics-desktops-general/sata-ahci-mode-and-windows-xp/647ea706f4ccf8a8de378bee

I've installed StartAllBack on my dads Windows 11 PC. He wants to buy a registration code, but both my dad and I don't have PayPal. Is there another way to pay for the registration code?

no solution?

I did patching and it first resulted illegal process on nss3.dll. So I decided try one from Retrozilla since I knew that version of library sure works on 95. Well it got as far as having tray icon but then it gave these two errors. Interestingly enough I tried it again, only this time I had also irfanview open to save screenshots and it resulted fault and illegal process on it too, but interestingly enough it did not crash. I guess it is since both rely on Microsoft VC6 runtime It might be some runtime you have/do not have that is/is not in my system. What service did you add on pidgin? Jabber/XMPP? Some services are done by plugins and I never tested those. I need look more into this. Pidgin is bit nitpick about GTK runtimes it needs. I used non GTK Pidgin installer and seperate legacy runtime. I mentioned these in earlier post. Thank you both for all help. I was never programmer myself, unless working with industrial machinery code is counted. Also this is stuff nobody teaches you since attitude is just buy new OS. I may not be professional this but I am slowly learning. I am pretty sure I can get this working eventually, but it requires lot of patience, debugging, curse words and time. PSI 0.10 can do Jabber too and native Windows 95 support but it is very buggy and outdated XMPP feature wise compared to Pidgin 2.6.6. under Windows 9x which includes all nice features of newer Pidgin and compliance with multiple XMPP files transfer modes, even text mode fallback if all other fails which makes it more versatile in my use.

Not sure if this will improve the situation or not (maybe you solved it already?), but you could try using other builds of GTK+2. Pidgin does offer a package without GTK. Even if the builds are newer, they may have been built with different build environments and configurations. But, it should be noted that running with a global set of GTK dlls can be irritating (if you need more than one set of Global GTK dll versions). OTOH, building Pidgen and GTK+2 with a different build environment and config could also solve the issue. I think Mingw32 has flags to set the max winver to support during compile (I believe there was two required). I'm guessing an old Mingw32 and Msys would work (still on sourceforge); probably shouldn't need Cgywin's userland). The source documentation may provide a hint. There are times when setting the max winver flags can bork the build, if the code explicitly asks for something. But, GTK is less likely to cause an issue there. And from the looks of this issue, Pidgen probably wouldn't either, or it could be an easy fix. Maybe of interest, this guy tested some different win32 GCC versions, and TDM-GCC may also be an option. You can find userland (msys) included versions of Mingw and TDM-GCC floating around on the net. Its harder to find, but there are fully bundled versions of Cgywin floating around, too (more useful for the usreland). Don't have my old GTK+2 builds around anymore. Kept GTK+1.3 only, it seems. But that doesn't mean someone else's builds couldn't improve the situation. Maybe here or here? You can also check on "mmnt dot ru slash int". Search gtk+ and then within results something like win32.

I'm only seeing IsDebuggerPresent in libglib-2.0-0.dll. I think the others all import from libglib-2.0-0.dll. With ImportPatcher you can patch: IsDebuggerPresent=GetCurrentProcess or IsDebuggerPresent=GetErrorMode I'm seeing (right-click on folder, Find, Containing text) InterlockedCompareExchange in libxml2.dll and nspr4.dll. Try patching with ExitProcess for now. The code will need to be patched. The instability is C Runtime Library errors upon second launch. Hopefully just my system.

Oh ok makes sense!

Curious how to do it. Winntsetup keeps failing when I try.

yes it is, but what good will it do?

@Tripredacus HakkındaI can't do it, master. How can I edit the XML? It doesn't work.

Yes, form the user perspective it does the same thing, it works a little bit different however as it doesn't replace system files and instead injects custom extending files into processes. And is available for Vista and 7, instead of just Vista as the original extended kernel was

There are two things I can think of. You aren't creating a user and setting autologon in the XML, or the file you specified is not present in %WINDIR% at the time. After an install, you can check the setupact.log in the Panther folder and/or in UnattendGC to see if it shows any issues.

pidgin.dll gave error about device not functioning. I decided to do full DLL check comparing 95 and 98SE and here is calls missing from important dll IsDebuggerPresent: program files/common files/gtk folder (gtk legacy runtime) pango-querymodules.exe libpangowin32-1.0-0.dll libpango-1.0-0.dll libgtk-win32-2.0-0.dll libgthread-2.0-0.dll libgobject-2.0-0.dll libgmodule-2.0-0.dll libglib-2.0-0.dll libgdk-win32-2.0-0.dll libgdk_pixbuf-2.0-0.dll slibatk-1.0-0.dll gspawn-win32-helper.exe c:\program files\pidgin folder (install) InterlockedCompareExchange: pidgin.dll libymsg.dll libxml2.dll libpurple.dll liboscar.dll libxml2.dll Interesting. I have ran 2.6.6 on Vanilla Windows 98SE and ME for years without problems. Maybe it is cpu or ram related? I mostly tested it on Pentium 2/3 and K6 based systems. How did stability issue show up? Random bsoding or resource leak? Also I never tried it with less than 256mb ram.

I patched 6 bytes to convert the VirtualAllocEx call into a working VirtualAlloc call, 5 bytes for VirtualFreeEx to VirtualFree, and 3 bytes to update the checksum to ward off malware false-positives. Check your messages for an attachment. Pidgin 2.6.6 (unpatched) does launch on my 98 system, but isn't stable unless I enable KernelEx and set it to Win2K mode. So more patches will probably be needed.

Is it possible to install windows on an refs parition?

Friends, how can I edit this XML so that it works in ISO? It doesn't work. <settings pass="oobeSystem"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS"> <OOBE> <FirstLogonCommands> <SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <CommandLine>%WINDIR%\Setup\Scripts\Script.bat</CommandLine> <Order>1</Order> </SynchronousCommand> </FirstLogonCommands> </OOBE> </component> </settings><<

no, it isn't disable, I did a new windows installation, I've just installed SAB and it doesn't work, let me try with another user... may be it doesn't like the Administrator user.. I can confirm it doesn't work for the Administrator acccount, using user account it works perfectly...so... any solution? before it worked also with windows server.. I resolved for windows 11, you have to install it using a user account (not administrator) saying it is for all user (it asks password for administrator) then log in as Administrator After the updates it stops to work

No. I just took the time to find it. It is Intel VMD (Volume Management Device), which is directly related to VROC on servers but Intel has been including this feature in their mobile chipsets where it really doesn't serve a purpose. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000101179/memory-and-storage/datacenter-storage-solutions.html

I'll check it out (for free ) That's me too. I can send you a modified version of 140 ESR or the latest one.

Nice that you are back, I know how it is when body acts up. I been fighting with same for last few years. It is nice to run system you enjoy for a change instead of whatever POS (Performance Optimal System) you are required at work. I know there is working port of Firefox for 7 and 8 called Eclipse Plasmafox (https://eclipse.cx/projects/r3dfox) I don't have Windows 8.1 myself only 7 currently but that one runs just fine without any tweaks and should work with any Firefox extensions.

Interesting, I always though only NT had it. Well anyway it seems to be only be depend on VirtualAllocEx and VirtualFreeEx calls. Here is also dwi log from dependency walker I did under Windows 95 if you need it pidgin.dwi

Greetings, I had some health issues and personal as well, so I only used my work pc that has windows 11. Now I finally was able to just sit down and enjoy my pc. I wanted to do a clean install, so I did. The thing is I quickly discovered, that a lot of things have changed. Steam Still works, but downloading pretty much anything ends up with download data is corrupted. Only thing that works is to download the game on windows 11 pc and transfer it over to windows 8.1. Annoyingly, windows 7 works thanks to vxkex next. Firefox I've personally seen on this forum that some of you were able to run the latest version of firefox, but I could not do it myself. Since the reinstall I wanted to switch to firefox mainly thanks to google's stupid decision about manifest v2. Can anyone guide me through running firefox on 8.1? Beamng.Drive @mjd79 was really kind at the start of this year and gave me his modified version of libcef.dll that made Beamng 0.35 working under 8.1, unfortunately, starting with 0.36 beamng executable itself is not working and I could not figure out why. This is the only game I still care about and I really enjoy it on Windows 8.1 (yes, I'm weird ). So if anyone here has knowledge about a possible fix, I'd even pay you. Thanks for any help, so glad to finally do something that I really enjoy
