I am still working on editing the list and keeping it up to date. While Windows Vista Extended Kernel has made the list somewhat obsolete, not everyone wants to or can use the extended kernel (namely x86 users). I just haven’t been able to keep up with it lately due to things happening in my personal life, but I’m going to try to resume working on it soon. Unless you have contributions of your own, you can keep your disrespectful comments to yourself I’ve poured a lot of blood, sweat & tears into this list since 2016, and I think it’s one of the best resources for Windows Vista users today. To anyone who wants to know if an application is already listed, press Ctrl+F in your browser and search for the application name.

With the Vista extended kernel, I have managed to get up to 111.0.5520 working with sandbox, and up to about 111.0.5550 without sandbox. However there is some problem with shared memory brokering that has broken it in both cases. Couldn't map an API change to it yet, as this code is well abstracted from the win32 API.

Though as I say that out loud, I do see that post number one was last edited on October 9, 2022.

But seriously though, that's still great work and I'm grateful for that. Last version is 109, and you got 2 higher versions working. Great work!

Don't forget @UCyborg as well!

Fascinating prerogative. So do you have a contribution to make? Or are you here just to backseat? There's places for shenanigans like this, *coughs* r/Windows

I think your doing a good thing for the whole vista community and I extremely appreciate everything you do here (your what inspired me to become a vista user)

hello No, it has some limitations, I tried to combine the same UpdatePacks with both Addons, but I gave up on it. 5eraph(x64) and OnePiece(x86) He left all his work. Folder x64 : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1TtdGgaSdPgGZE8NxvYjSRvGFSSHiADc2?usp=share_link

I once had a dream, somewhere in the mid 90's, in 1996, in that dream only the dead relatives were present , and during the next days I was almost killed , but fortunately able to avoid it because I read their warning right. Don't be afraid of the dead, could be they just want to tell you something. Not all of them want you dead. Summon with caution, read books first. Summon only the ones who loved you, I mean not pretended they did. I was very sceptical when I first used my grand-grand mother's book, btw. I think I need to stop... it could get even creepier with me.

Ouch.

I also wrote about this before, and I got this response:

This build is targeted to be more RAM-friendly than earlier builds. The chrome.dll file now has a default base address of 0x3e1c0000 and this seems to work well for both x86 XP and for x64 XP. Limited to no tests whatsoever were performed outside of XP.

"This device working properly" only means that the device driver is loaded and doing whatever it is supposed to be doing. The disk had trouble reading data in the past and it's possible that some files have been altered since.

I doubt I'll reformat it just wait until its done and use and enjoy. Nothing seems wrong funny as is seems since Victoria reads BAD. Thank you.

Yes, I also don't think peaceful version is worth trying IMO.

So I've read, but didn't feel like trying it. And I deleted the other, bad one.

Yes yes, I told you that already, LOL!

"Dazed.. knocked... confused" uh, stop and make more attention, please! Very good idea to have nightlight.

I agree, this is actually a great software list, and it will never be forgotten. Thank you very much for your work on this list, it's appreciated.

Are you running vanilla Vista or extended kernel?

I can say that windows vista is usable in 2023! I've reinstalled vista on my hp elite and it work really well!

I'm finally back on vista again (vista ultimate) and should be able to do some program testing again

This version one works very cool !

Reason being, they've sold their soul to Google. R.I.P., @NotHereToPlayGames. It would, multi-process web browsers are major resource hogs. Feodor2 probably doesn't rebase DLLs? That would help with RAM consumption in multi-process mode.

Winamp 5.8.0.3660 is the last version for Vista

Not sure why it behaves like that in this case in particular since data is supposed to be flushed to disk eventually anyway if it's enabled. I leave that turned on as the performance hit without it is horrible. Yeah, AFAIK writing to the bad sector remaps it. I also have a problem with my data disk, 17 bad sectors, not sure how to go about it. I was going to make an image of it and rewrite it to strengthen the magnetic records before I noticed the problem, it's over 10 years old at this point, bought in 2010 I think, now this is stopping me, dd probably won't like the bad sectors, few days ago I rescued one of the files (it was downloaded from the internet so nothing lost), but original just couldn't be read, got CRC error from Windows. I'm not sure how to check which files are bad, would 7-Zip let me know if I just select the folder and initiate checksum calculation? Do I start copying to another disk with Robocopy to check? Thinking of giving Ddrescue (Wikipedia) a spin eventually, but I currently have zero experience with that program.

My grandfather haunted me for decades (and still does). We had a strong connection, so after he passed away, I could still see him (from time to time) in his room. In the evenings mostly, just sits on his couch and does nothing. Then I burned almost all of his things except some - his dagger, and the motorcycle etc., so I could channel the energy to summon him, Why ? I decided not to fight it 'cause he meant no harm and I accepted to just live with it . I don't mourn him. Never did. I loved him , yes, but didn't mourn. I sometimes need his advice and he visits at night, after I channel the energy . With years he became less apparent. And I need more an more energy to summon him again. Creepy, I know.

Hi Sal, how do you do ! XP chkdsk is a total joke ! The only thing that really remaps the sectors is a FULL (not quick!) reformat . It will delete all of the data on the disk.

yes I quit xp forums

Truly amazing - thank you for sharing

RIGHTO ... I got that and thank you, @mina7601. I'm am following vistapocalypse but I don't know them all that well other than are infrequent correspondence here-and-there on threads. Hmmm ... overall things seem to be pretty good here as far as I can see. Good and all is well here and I went for a walk today around the complex and said hello to a few people first (usually I don't speak unless spoken to first)

"You WILL overcome your obstacles by relying on your courage and strength and determination. When you feel like hope is gone, look inside yourself -- find your strength and willpower -- its there, I promise." ~ XPerceniol

I agree 100%

Thank you and you don't have to be sorry, most (if not all) of my thoughts are scattered and chaotic. I love you guys just as you are, but I only wish you guys weren't hurting and I'd gladly take away your pain if I could wave a magic wand, but magic is trickery and I don't trick people I'm genuine I promise you that. You all know EVERYTHING about you; almost.

I will keep you guys in my thoughts and try to be positive for you. Oh @UCyborg ... thank you for saying "Chin UP" And thank you @msfntor I KNOW (without question) you only want the be for me and I appreciate each and every word you'd told me. Just be yourself and if people turn on you it might be for the best is all I can say right now.

I agree with you, mate. It's also saddening me that members who used to talk to me often (like @AstroSkipper, for example), talk to me less nowadays, which rather gives me the feeling that they don't like me, but, as @UCyborg once said: "I guess sometimes something just snaps in one's mind and then things are never the same again.", so, I guess I'll have to accept how things go.

I'm sorry to hear that. Hope she recovers soon.

I'm truly sorry and I wish her a speedy recovery.

I wouldn't worry too much about it, to be honest. My 82yr old dad weighed 120 lbs, had COPD, asthma, and high blood pressure. His doctor strictly FORBID him from getting ANY covid vaccine. He had covid SIX TIMES and NONE of the six so much as kept him bed-ridden for a day.

I suddenly feel very happy tonight. Its about 8:30 and have to fine something to watch on the TV while others are away. Good to be over there now with you @mina7601 and @legacyfan and @K4sum1 and maybe others I'm unaware of here. Will let you know what I find ... looking for something about loving and acceptance and trying to be a good person. Music today is hard for me to get into and I don't usually listen to pop unless something grabs me - I'd rather listen to smooth jazz, but I do like some of today's singers. Ya know, just for the record, I don't believe in pushing any agenda down others thoughts, I'm just trying to be me and live and not be under personal attack, to be honest, most people here accept me with the acceptation of only 1 or 2 guys here (where I reside, not the forum) and I'm just me whatever the heck that is without needing labels and I do like women as friends and maybe one day I'll learn to become more social but you can't force it - it has to come naturally. I compliment women and men but not in the same way (of course) and I know all mean well as do I for ALL of you. Live and let live and don't judge and I (myself) am and 'work in progress'. Learning at 50 still.

Hi, I've found a method to create a proxy server which will restore WU & MU websites as well as AU on every system (including the website for Vista and 7) (but for some reasons AU won't work on XP RTM, SP1 and SP2 if MU is enabled). You have to use ProxHTTPSProxy v1.3a and another proxy to edit web requests (I used Requestly). You have to configure ProxHTTPSProxy (in config.ini) to use the other proxy (add a section [PROXY http://127.0.0.1:port]) for www.update.microsoft.com, fe2.update.microsoft.com and web.archive.org SSL should also be bypassed for web.archive.org In the other proxy you have to create the following redirects: https://www.update.microsoft.com/v6/ClientWebService/client.asmx -> https://fe2.update.microsoft.com/v6/ClientWebService/client.asmx https://www.update.microsoft.com/v6/UpdateRegulationService/updateregulation.asmx -> https://fe2.update.microsoft.com/v6/UpdateRegulationService/updateregulation.asmx https://fe2.update.microsoft.com/v11/3/legacy/windowsupdate/selfupdate/wuident.cab -> https://web.archive.org/web/20070110011725/update.microsoft.com/v6/windowsupdate/selfupdate/wuident.cab (this only for GET requests) Then modify response headers for any address containing /wuident.cab: ADD Content-Length: "7427" ADD Last-Modified: "Fri, 20 Oct 2006 02:00:03 GMT" On the clients install Windows Update Agent 7.4.7600.226 (not the latest version, not needed on Windows 7), add ProxHTTPSProxy's IP address into Proxy settings and import its CA (Trusted Root\Local Computer). If you want to run AU you should run proxycfg -u (NT5) or netsh winhttp import proxy source=ie (NT6). Website addresses are: http://fe2.update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/default.aspx?g_sconsumersite=1 (you have to register wuweb.dll manually on Vista and newer) http://fe2.update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx?g_sconsumersite=1 (you have to register muweb.dll manually) Thanks to anyone in this thread who has given me parts of this method.

thanks @WinClient5270 for all the work you do on this!

Reminder that Chrome Web Store is intentionally broken in the "ungoogled" version. The best route I have found to return a degree of functionality to Chrome Web Store but to do it without the telemetry/tracker/persistent-cookie is to manually install this extension -- https://www.crx4chrome.com/crx/265228/ Scroll down to the Download Now section and click the Crx4Chrome download link (the other links should work as well, I have only ever used the Crx4Chrome link). Note that the download will download without any "where to save" dialog, it will download to your default directory as set in chrome://settings/downloadSetting. To manually install, drag-and-drop this .crx file onto "empty whtie space" on your chrome://extensions/ page. You should get a dialog asking to confirm installation - click the Add button (then close the self-advert nuisance tab). Now whenever you visit a Chrome Web Store addon page, you can download the .crx directly and manually install as opposed to installing via the Chrome Web Store.
