Great to see you around! Cheers!

1. Do you have 4GB or more of ram and there are 64bit drivers available? If yes install 64bit. 2. Try to download a VISTA installer that has SP2 integrated. It's faster and cleaner. 3. Yes. Windows update is bugged. Before connecting to internet you will need to install these updates: KB4019204 KB4012583 KB3205638 KB4015380. If you already have IE9 installed, you also need KB4018271. Grab them from here 4. There is no problem if you don't follow the correct order. Superseded updates will fail to install so there is no risk to install out of date components.

Something akin to @looking4awayout's UOC patch, perhaps. It could even be something based on it directly, but tweaked to be more suitable to Windows 9x/ME. It's open source I think? Maybe with looking4awayout's blessing, it could happen with some research. c

Unfortunately, this cannot be fixed. Windows 10 renders the window frame and a top caption part separately, so edges are blurred together.

Wow, I thought I could get used to not having Aero Glass in time but without it I just keep losing windows over the top of other windows. Not only that, but some window chrome looks different than others. We know that'll be the case with Apps vs. Applications, but I'm also seeing it e.g., with the Pale Moon browser vs., e.g., a CMD window. The former has a dimmer single line of blue pixels around it than the latter when the window is current. Why is it so much to ask just to be able to see where the window edges are? I hate mediocrity. -Noel

FWIW, I've built the same multi-monitor layout on 3 different desktop systems so that I don't have desktop reorganizational issues when I RDP from one system location into another. Still to this day sometimes Visual Studio will swap its panels from the left to the right side monitor. With Windows 10 usually the icons end up okay, though, on the central (larger) monitor. Honestly, I think Microsoft should have delayed or just canceled Win 10 2004 and kept working on stabilizing and tuning 1909. This all-too-often 6 month turnaround that breaks everything that's not vanilla Microsoft, like Aero Glass for Win 8+, is just ludicrous. -Noel
