he also has a new website for it here -------> http://win32.eclipse.cx/ : here are the patch notes he said about it (extended kernel for vista ver 5.6 patch notes:A new Vista extended kernel has been released. It runs win7 calculator and paint as well as Firefox 89+. (with serious gdi related font rendering issues).

I actually did manage to get both running eventually with the help of R3n from eclipse and thanks to win32 to make this possible, mspaint gave the same error as wmp12 which makes me believe its pretty close to be workable

Stunning! I hated Windows Vista's calculator, it was basically XP's with Aero. However, the Windows 7 Calculator fits Windows Vista way better. Win32, you should really work at Microsoft. You do their job better

@winvispixp @THK2003 you need the latest extended kernel first (May 2021), then copy mspaint and calc.exe from system32 and their mui files to a folder of your choice or you can replace them in system32 of vista. The mui files are in system32/en-US. In my case i just replaced the old paint and calc with win7's. it should be like this and inside en-US is the mui file called mspaint.exe.mui

Navigate to C:\WINDOWS\Installer and look for any folders that have any Mypal files. Delete those folders. Reboot and the icons should return to normal. If not, we may have to look into rebuilding the icon cache, it's been a while since I've done that so we'll cross that bridge if still required. ps - too late for this warning, but I never use "installers", everything on my computer is from manually extracted "installers" and self-created registry settings for programs that aren't natively "portable".

try this: http://www.pc-tools.net/win32/setbrowser/

Only .url ? There are more items there to be changed. Look for URL:Hyper Text Transfer Protocol and URL:Hyper Text Transfer Protocol wyth Privacy Also, if you have restored your registry after deleting the Mypal entries, try again but search only in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT this time and replace all Mypal entries with NewMoon. P.S. You can also try to toggle browser.shell.checkDefaultBrowser in about:config , then restart your browser. This may be useful. Check also the following posts, ignore M.T.

I do not have an ESU license for Server 2008 SP2 and have not personally attempted to install any ESU updates on Windows Vista, but the .NET updates reportedly cannot be installed anyway, so Vista’s .NET is already effectively unsupported, including 4.6.2. Even if that obstacle can be circumvented, why would Microsoft continue to release .NET updates for Server 2008 SP2 after April 2022 when 4.6.0 was the last .NET version that officially supported it?

User Agent Mode - Compatible Firefox. The functional of the buttons will come back. Install another browser.Download mypal 29.2.0 Create a new folder and name MyPal Cool, or as you use. Then start the MyPal installer. Select Portable installation, then select Browse and find the location of the formed filter. Click in Install. This is an extracting browser to a new folder. Run mypal.exe. Set Compatibility with Firefox. MyPal Portable has her own AppData and Local Appdata folder. Also in the folder you will create a profile after the first setting. This is important because you will be logged in to a pendrive. Good mypal can be moved from a pendrive to a computer with Windows 7 and even Windows 10 will be good in conformity mode. From this broken mypal, keep the most important passwords, bookmarks and copies of extensions. Then you can uninstall quite. Portable will behave.

Search the registry for any entries relating to the mypal executable (presumably mypal.exe). Just delete them and it should come good. Back up the registry first of course, just in case! That's one of the problems if you can't uninstall properly, the program's registry entries are still there.

Microsoft is very similar to Google with their products. KilledByGoogle is a notable statement because Google has killed many products, the least lasting being just a few months until it was discontinued. Microsoft does a similar tactic, where they launch services then after a while want to kill them. Cortana launched in 2014 (and earlier on mobile) but was recently discontinued by Satya himself, stating that he does not vision it being a competitor. 1903 removed Cortana from the OOBE, and moved it to a seperate app that can be uninstalled with Powershell. The Xbox Kinect launched around 2010 with the release of the Xbox 360 Slim, but then was discontinued around 2014 when the Xbox One had no use for it even though it had it. Microsoft likes launching things then killing them the same way Google does because they don't want to continue it or lose motivation. They really want to get rid of Windows, and definitely have showed that they are attempting to, which is why the only reason Sun Valley exists is because they want to show that they care just a little bit. Windows has no idea what it wants to be, if it wants to be a mobile OS, desktop OS, laptop OS, or server OS. Microsoft wants to be all of them even though Microsoft proved that its better off to keep it all seperate. I have fears of ARM going to PCs because I am afraid that means everyone will be running Android or iOS on their computers, which I hate because it means the end of normal desktop computing with a keyboard and mouse as everything moves over to touchscreens. Linux has proven to be the dominant in the server and mobile world, and Microsoft knows it with their Surface phone and Azure. As far as laptops and desktops go, they have ran the same OS for the past few years, but clearly development in Microsoft since Windows 8.0 has been laptop-oritented. People don't care anymore because its been going on for almost a decade now. Windows 10X will never make sense. It is just a project that Microsoft wanted to do so they can take over the education department that they have been losing since the release of Windows 8. The enterprise world has slowly been moving their way to Linux (my dad's office is 100% CentOS and Ubuntu), my school has mentioned about moving their machines to Ubuntu Education LTS so they don't have to image as often. Windows 7 and XP were the two perfect operating systems for the world. Ever since then, its been a downfall of people leaving Windows. The reason 10 is on 1.3 billion machines is because most people don't care. But the majority of people who do care probably still use 7, moved to macOS, chromeOS or Linux. I don't care that 10X is not coming in 2021. I had no intent of using it, and I doubt anyone did. It cant even run win32 apps anyway, and UWP is a failing platform. If Microsoft ever forces consumers to use Windows 10 without win32 support, thats the final straw. Windows has been on a downfall since 2012 with the pinnacle of that downfall starting in 2018 with 1809 and still ongoing. People for SOME reason forgave Microsoft on the whole 1809 fiasco.

Well now you'll never get that username change. I recommend you do not try to register more accounts, otherwise we will report you to the spam service.

Better late than never, I suppose! Nevertheless, given all the renewed interest in Vista due to the new extended kernel project, this could be potentially useful for installing it on newer PCs wherein the stock Vista installer won't function correctly (there is of course no reason to use FAT32 on a boot volume anymore, but whatever). c
