The first time I tested your VXD was after I had the 8269 drivers installed on my 7800GTX 512MB, I had removed all 8269 files from the system. The displayed RAM size was 512MB on the nVidia control panel but this is just an indicator. For example Direct X 8.0 is displayed on all versions of recent drivers ie 7772, 8198, 8216, 8269 in the control panel of nVidia when Direct X 9c is installed. The second time I tried the 7772 drivers it displayed 256MB in the control panel. This was after I had a 256MB card installed. I tried both your VXD 16th 2nd 2021 and the original and there seems to be no difference in both the size reported throughout the system diagnosis programs 512MB and the nVidia panel 256MB and performance. I tried Alias with all options ticked anistotropic, antialiasing, shadows, and high quality skins. Normally these settings if 128MB card is used the config utility would report not enough RAM if a setting of over 848x480 pixel frame size is selected. I ran the game at 1600x900 and all OK. I had 1920x1080 running at one stage but my north-brige or CPU struggles a bit and it now balks playing the intro file if I go over 1600. The videos and in-game ones are antialiased as well and slow down with higher frame settings. The game has its own multiVMR9.dll, There was no difference between your VXD and the original. If 8269 drivers are used then the nVidia control panel indicates 512MB. The disadvantage of 7772 drivers are that Prince of Persia: the Sands of Time does not render the 3D properly. It shows video that exhibits no or very little luminance range showing a setting about half way on the luminance scale so the 3D is white mainly. I think that the 7772 driver also has only OpenGL 1.1 extensions. The reflection details are not there either. The waitress costume shows this difference in Alias. The plus to 7772 driver is that the control panel color layer setting progress into games that do not continually refresh them. With Race Driver 2 nothing can be done as it refreshes the gamma every 1 sec approx. The other drivers do not write the gamma/color curve into the games. I have wrote a new INF for the drivers that include more devices, refresh rates and resolutions. This INF will be good for drivers 7772, 8216 and 8198. It is not acceptable for 8269 as it uses a different setup and not everything will work properly if this INF is used. Use original for 8269. I believe I have found the error in 8198s INF that stops the 6200 PCI (not PCIEX) cards from working. The manufacturer ID field order has to match the description field order for the INF to work and the 6200 description and device ID orders do not line up in correct sequence. The upload is the INF used and pictures for reference. I am using WinME operating system. The 7772 driver is no longer available from nVidia but can be downloaded from Guru3D.com link 4. It is the English version but still has the International files inside. My INF is an international one. The international files can be taken from 8198Int also. INF.zip

I used this method in a VM https://www.techrepublic.com/blog/windows-and-office/use-reverse-integration-to-slipstream-windows-vista-sp1-and-sp2/ It works with every update, not just sp1 or sp2

since upstream no longer providing sources, I don't know what change(s) to "fix" this issue.

... All this has already been explained in fine detail last March 30th: TL;DR If you first download to disk an XPI file of the extension (github-wc-polyfill), in order to install in Serpent 52.9.0 you have to first patch its install.rdf file; if you, OTOH, manually install the latest release (currently it's v1.2.0) direct from GitHub, or you already have an older version installed, no patching is required to update to the latest release; the GitHub update.xml file is responsible for this behaviour...

@Mr.Scienceman2000 TS2 servers are different than current Teamspeak servers. You have to use the Teamspeak 2 client to access them all. A list of TS2 servers can be found right there, in the TS2 client. Older codes are more than enough to get the message over the line! I think TS2 sounds better than a mobile phone conversation.

what failed on it? Ram, cpu or what? Old laptops had swappable cpu and you can find old processors with 10 euros or less on ebay I recommend looking refurb laptops. Can get older better quality business laptop cheaper even with XP compatible hw. Here one store sells some that can run XP mostly 2nd or 3rd gen intel

Hi Sampei, if you think there is a small chance it can be fixed we can try to give some advice. I don't know what the problem is exactly. You think new Power supply could fix it? Or new Ram stick? Or new Hard Drive?

Why abandon XP? IF you must abandon XP, I've had performance-success with Win7 Enterprise and Win10 LTSB. But they were also both provided by place-of-employment - with a license that allows me to install at home due to remote work. I haven't taken the leap to test-drive Win11 yet, I haven't even looked at if these copies floating around are "legal" or "leaked".

yup, Win8.0 (NT 6.2) removed both the start button & start menu (the UI was barely a mess there) Win8.1 only restored the start button but not the start menu
