So now that you have the codec pack, launch MPC-HC that got installed with it and try to play a h264 test video https://test-videos.co.uk/bigbuckbunny/mp4-h264 launch LAV splitter video settings - the red icon in the system tray, there is a "Hardware Decoder to use:" in the top middle, test various hardware decoders and check which do and don't work, make sure H.264 is checked under codecs for HW

Is any of the extended kernel-like stuff installed?

ok next besides assembly would be c++, windows drivers, physical harddrive knowledge and how its programmed to (not engine/api like createfile and writefile or script like "copyfile c:\a.txt c:\b.txt) to write this to a windows xp driver you also have to have knowledge about pe headers sections, relocs ect.

I managed to boot Windows 2000 with Clover UEFI32 and Longhorn 5472 boot files on real hardware. Only problem is, no screen. But sound and disk activity exist and heard Windows sounds. Even GTX980 driver does not display (both in legacy and UEFI boot with longhorn files. But displays normally with ntldr). This problem does not happen in XP. It displays correctly. @reboot12 @Dietmar maybe you guys can solve with patches. For NT4, it wants kdcom.dll and bootvid.dll. If these files bypassed or patched, it can boot with UEFI. EDIT: Display worked when I switched DP to HDMI for win2000! For NT4, I managed to bypass kdcom.dll but this time, 0xc000007b bootmgr kernel error (not BSOD). Maybe it requires ACPI or bootmgr should look non-ACPI hal. EDIT 2: Tested also with QEMU and it worked. Video: https://youtu.be/NLW0Eg1nDNU

Too less information and posting of one sentence comment again! The next one I will ignore! I looked into your log. You had and have a lot of problems relating to your Windows Update client. Do carefully following steps of my guide again: 9, 10 and 11. Steps 14 and 15 only if necessary as described in my guide. And I'm serious, no more one sentence comments with nonsufficient information! "here is the log" is nothing! The next one I will ignore definitely! A complete screenshot of ProxHTTPSProxy's log window while accessing MU only (no other connections to whereever) plus information about your system and what you have done so far, are missing too.

Did you read my post above? I need information about your system and what you have done so far. And in your ProxHTTPSProxy's log window there are fatal ssl tunnel errors. What did you do? Post additionally a complete screenshot of ProxHTTPSProxy's log window while accessing MU only (no other connections to whereever) and upload your WindowsUpdate.log located in folder \Windows! And please, no more one sentence comments with nonsufficient information! Compare my posts to yours and you know what I mean!

@LonghornXP Any assistance is senseless without information about your system and what you have done so far. You are bombing this thread with error codes but you didn't explain what you did to generate them. And regarding your language skills, please use Google Translate additionally to post clear statements and comments! PS: It's not meant to be mean! But speaking and writing in a clear way is mandatory.

Whatever will happen and whatever fate befalls my little guide, thank you for your interest and your efforts! I totally agree. The Wayback Machine is great but for more complex backups especially due to incompatibiliy in backing up links on MSFN, it's not an option. Thanks for clarifying. It's very sad but we must make a mark, no matter how small. I do have a DropBox account, therefore it is an option, of course. As I already mentioned above there has to be a possibility for me to delete old and add new versions of this guide. Thank you for understanding and respecting that! What tool do you use to generate a html version of my guide? In the past I had different problems with a lot of tools. Simple constructed web sites, no problem, but more complex and linked sites, I got partially or completely results which were terrible. So far, kind regards, AstroSkipper

You mean you are getting now error code 0x80244004. If so, you should check or perform step 11 once more. You have to verify the existence of patched "wuaueng.dll" in mentioned folders. Be aware of SFC which tries to restore an original old version of this file! After patching restart your computer and check again! And please, more information about your system and what you have done so far. Anyway, doing all steps correctly and keeping the order should let the probabiliy of success increase to nearly 100%.

We can talk about your problems and error codes tomorrow. But one thing I can say: you probably missed a step of my guide or a step wasn't performed properly. If you have a fresh installation of XP, check step 14 and 15. So long! Good night!

You have to answer quickly because I am tired and want to go to bed.

You mean while calling up MU in Windows XP you get the error code 80072F78. Is that correct?

At first, thanks for thinking about a backup solution in case of MSFN sites' inaccessibility! When creating of your html version is finished, please upload it i.e. your prototype and later your final version to Mediafire, for example, or any other hoster (but please a non Russian one) so that I can have a look into it! And send me the download link only via PM! In any case I want to have it in form of a separate guide such as it is i.e. I don't want this guide to be included in these "all in one" packages. BTW automatic solutions do not need an instruction how to do things manually. And I prefer manual methods to keep control. Anyway, we talked about a mirror! A package isn't one. It has to be a location all interested people can have access to. Furthermore there has to be a possibility for me to delete old and add new versions of this guide. I don't have a suitable mirror in mind yet but I will think about it. Maybe you can offer some alternatives. Just to clarify, no publishing without my permission! I want to decide where it is mirrored to. And finally, thanks for your "voluntary" liking! Cheers, AstroSkipper

Hi @cc333, I have never noticed that you've read and liked my guide. But thanks for reading and apparently liking! Usually there is a little button called "Like" to let me know that. Anyway, I think we are talking about my "Complete guide for restoring Microsoft Update in IE". I already wrote it in 21th of January. Due to new facts, modifications and reorder of some steps I've updated it in the last two days and for now it's finished. The linking to other posts is very important to get additional and necessary information. But could you be more specific relating to your request "if you have any input"? What kind of input do you need? And where shall these html sites be mirrored to? You see, a lot of questions we have to talk about. And forget about any old versions of my guide. The only interesting version is the current one. So long! Kind regards, AstroSkipper
