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 extension 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

98, SE, and ME do have VirtualAllocEx, only 95 doesn't. Use ImportPatcher or Dependency Walker to find all missing functions. If there are only a few, I can write a wrapper.

Just uninstall it and reinstall it on the new PC I had deleted the registry key too.

Do you have screenshots of your settings ? SAB isn't disabled (in the Advanced tab) ?

Hello Leokids123. You asked: "Can you disable your adblocker and enable Javascript?" Answer: Javascript is enabled in St52 when visiting Paypal. And this is the result when trying to sign in my Paypal account with ST52 and - hosts file adblocking disabled - DNS server adblocking disabled It is as NotHereToPlayGames said: "the SECURITY CHALLENGE CANNOT BE LOADED."

As i wrote i was using 3 TB+ Unlocker from Gigabyte and it worked with GPT non system disk 4 TB + Paragon driver on Marwell controller.. Asus and MSI had problem some 2 TB unlockers too, especially Asus, because Asrock is here lower cost sub company..

What is the proper procedure to uninstall StartAllBack from a computer to be retired and then using the license on the new computer?

Is the name of that feature Intel Storage Matrix or Intel iRST? iRST = Intel Rapid Storage Technology

Can you disable your adblocker and enable Javascript?

NotHereToPlayGames said: "Both results are TECHNICALLY THE SAME! ie, the SECURITY CHALLENGE CANNOT BE LOADED." Hello roytam1, when trying to access my Paypal account with the latest St52 (2025-08-21), I have to confirm NotHereToPlayGames: And now for NM28 (2025-08-21) with the same PC and the same system settings: That's obviously a difference ! NM28 works with Paypal and St52 won't. WHY ?

May I ask Is this like an extended kernel or something?

none can help me?

Older boards default to IDE/Standard mode for the storage controller, but best practice since at least XP era has been to set that to AHCI before installation. So yes, it is common for a system to not boot when BIOS is reset and this is always the first thing to check. Similarly on modern systems using a supported RAID (JBOD) option if an NVMe is installed instead of AHCI,. More modern boards from ODMs within the past 2 years have been shipping with a secondary option relating to the storage controller... which name escapes me right now. Basically it is a feature that only has a benefit for RAID but has been found to be enabled by default where AHCI is the default and also on systems that don't even have a RAID option at all... such as notebooks. This feature was annoying at its launch because Windows required a driver to use it (and boot) in addition to the storage driver and Windows versions at the time didn't have a default driver and there wasn't one initially available for WinPE either. I think current Windows 11 has support for this option now but there certainly is an in-between set of Windows builds that have problems. I hate that I can't remember the name of that option but I had primarily seen it on notebooks from Asus and Clevo.

And for what it is worth, my older Serpent can only get to the green box that indicates that the slide "passed" but it does not advance to the next page. It eventually times out and requests the slide mouse again. Both results are TECHNICALLY THE SAME! ie, the SECURITY CHALLENGE CANNOT BE LOADED.
