Here, you will find a list of software compatible with Windows Vista, after installing the new extended kernel by Win32. As this project is very new, this list will remain quite short for the time being.
List:
BeamNG.Drive 0.16 and later
Chromium versions 53-73 beta (later versions currently do not work)
Firefox "classic" versions 53-56
Firefox Quantum version 57 and later
GIMP 2.10.18
Google Earth 7.3.3 and later
Interlink Mail client
Logitech Gaming Software 9.02
Opera 44 (later versions currently do not work)
Palemoon 28.x
Rocket League
Thunderbird versions 53 and later
Waterfox Classic
Waterfox Current
Whatsapp
I will continue to update this list as more software is made compatible. Feel free to contribute your own additions in the form of a reply to the topic, and I will add them ASAP.
Wow , a new member who also loves Vista , esp. RTM . Welcome. I'm interested too . Though I haven't used RTM quite a long time. Try the local method , I won't double post , just scroll back.
That's very promising , I plan to use Vista RTM in the future . Have you ever tried it ? It really is very fast . On a 10 year old hardware it feels like win2000 in the good old days.
I plan to focus on SP2 with 2017 updates. Though I do wonder what happens when dxgkrnl.sys, dxg.sys, d3d11.dll, and dxgi.dll are copied from SP2 to SP1 (RTM gets harder because certain functions are missing).

Absolutely true observation , confirmed by many years of my personal experience , with one exception , don't forget that the load these days is nowhere near the load we had in the 90s , these days we have power hungry GPUs. I don't think there was something like that in 1993 , so the results would be much different and Delta wouldn't seem so good , I guess . If you want older mobos/PSUs to last longer , just turn them on once in a while.
Hello , that's a very fine research ! I can confirm it also works with MPC-HC (a very similar player , also free) . By any chance , do you know how to force DTS HD with MPC-HC ? It's quite OK in terms of picture quality , but it's sound defaults to simple DTS (compressed core or even PCM stereo) , if any HD track is selected in options. VLC plays DTS HD with receiver just fine . But with MPC-HC , not . Thanks.
You shouldn't remove any byte as that will make the entire binary file useless. Just put the text cursor in front of "S" of SetDefaultDllDirectories (the hex value of 53 will get highlighted so you'll see what to change), then put the cursor in front of highlighted 53 and make it 00. Before you type it, make sure the program is in Overwrite mode, it's indicated in the status bar and can be changed by pressing Insert key. Overwrite mode is default though and the program warns you when you make any action that changes the size of the file.
You are absolutely right that Office 2010 is the best of them all. But modern project development requires the functionality of new versions of Office and Visual Studio 2017+ Windows 7/8/10 I do not use because of close integration with Internet services and constantly slow down. Windows Vista is the last adequate version.
simply: low powered supplies add stress to motherboard capacitors.
power supply rating is a peak rating that is in variation with power line conditions. No power grid is perfect 24/7. a 1000 watt power supply with give at least 680 watts on demand for example regardless of PSU efficiency rating. A low end power rated PSU such as 320 watts can drop below 120 watts in bad conditions without shutting down also optionally adding overclocking there's an avenue to dead hardware and blown / reduced life caps. Not all motherboards had bad caps. The only motherboard I found with the "best" caps in early P4 generation was Dell and when I checked the PSU rating I thought they were walking on a tightrope. No CPU has a maximum energy draw bugs are in every aspect of design take a 4 slot ddr4 memory system use 2 sets of ddr 4 the fastest and the mid range speeds you get better average than just 4 x fastest sticks.
Most technological advances are based on theory. Mathematical equations. Even software is based on theory like digital pokies machines gambling strings is it really random.There is also too much hype in computer MARKETING
Golden words , like . The only minor thing left , explain it to many others on here , that use yandex [!] , yes living in United Kingdom , for example , and yet using yandex .
As for me , I just block tons of china-russia IPs with firewall. The same goes to google, yahoo , etc.
I still have somewhere a windows-98 compatible Fujitsu motherboard from around 2006 and it was affected by this famous capacitor plague . Capacitor made by OST went bad (bulging, leaking) , blue coloured to be precise , near the RAM slots . I had to replace it with Philips capacitor Made in Holland , from the 1980s and it worked just fine.
