  2. Thanks for pointing that out! Fixed That's a darn shame... oh well, I never was too big a fan of Avast myself to be honest. I still run an older version of MSE along with the last major version of Malwarebytes for XP/Vista, both of which still receive definition updates which is what really matters (Avast will still receive definition updates on XP/Vista too ) Anyway, aside from Avast/AVG, I have found a couple of pieces of software that no longer support Windows Vista: 1. OBS Studio, a popular livestreaming software, no longer supports Windows Vista after 21.0.1 (released Jan. 2018), so this version has been added to the list: 2. Dolphin, a popular GameCube/Wii Console emulator, hasn't officially supported Windows Vista for quite some time. Despite this, the latest "Stable" release (5.0) along with new "Development" releases continued to work on Windows Vista until a certain point at which I cannot exactly pinpoint, since there are so many versions that have been released since the last time I tested Vista compatibility. For this reason, I have simply listed the last "Stable" version to work with Vista for now: Also, I have added a couple of new pieces of software that continue to support Vista to the "Video & Photo Editing Software" section (thanks to @i430VX for showing me these):

  3. What's annoying to me is the fact that those who rail endlessly against XP almost never mention that it is being updated and it's not a secret since people have been taking advantage of the PosReady 2009 hack for years. In the last four months I've downloaded and installed at least 22 security patches alone for this older system. Not only that but you can still get the latest virus programs, flash player, and thanks to this project an updated browser. It is an old OS and probably has holes nonetheless but it's not like it isn't getting support. I'm usually on something newer but millions use XP regularly for whatever reason and it works fine, always has. It's almost funny how some of these anti-XP internet freaks go on a rampage, as if they have something to lose. No matter what forum their heads act like they're about to explode at the mere mention of XP. The end of support for PosReady is next April so it will require extra locking down but I wonder how many malware/virus trolls even bother with it anymore, they probably moved on to Windows 10.

  4. As a Windows 9x-enthusiast, I still find a bunch of hardware unavailable in the driverpacks listed here. After three years of fighting to get my laptop to run Windows 9x, I hope to contribute to making driver installation less difficult. I am currently focusing on network drivers for the 9x systems and hope to do the following for now: Update Network Driverpack Currently adding major brands; finished with Realtek for now Make a pack for printer and fax drivers Modem driverpack Update the existing driverpacks Add newer chipset drivers such as 845 and newer Add PROBLEMCHYLD's custom Dell Wireless 1450 driver to network Add drivers from Vogons.org Hopeful future plans: Turn the program into something similar to driverpack solution Make a driverpack devoted to Windows 95 Download Links Chipset (Coming Soon!) Video (Coming Soon!) Audio (Coming Soon!) Networking (Change Log) Modem (Coming Soon!) Printer and Fax (Coming Soon!) Instructions: Extract Go to Menu>Control Panel>System>Device Manager Click desired hardware which requires a driver Direct to folder location If a message pops up about driver file not available, go to the folder with the exact name required (exception being RTL8019 and ge2000iii cards which had to be renamed to avoid conflict!) To contribute to this project, please list the brand, hardware (ID too is preferred), and send a link to the driver Feel free to inform me of any mistakes! I'm a newbie at drivers!
