  2. Always remember Dibya that those criticising your work, usually unjustifiably as the issues have been caused by them, almost certainly wouldn't have been able in their wildest dreams to do what you've done. Please don't let a few id*** stop you sharing your work, the vast majority really appreciate your efforts I promise!

  3. It's a great idea. Adding all of those functions will certainly help with Process Hacker 2.x, which relies on many ntdll functions exclusive to XP and above. I wish I knew how to do this myself. I gave your file a spin and unfortunately, it does pose instability. Serpent 52 2020-02-08 gets quite unstable and has difficulty launching at times (though enabling multiprocess mode helps). Many sites have difficulty loading. Even an attempt at loading the task manager gave me a 0xc142 error though it opened on the next attempt. This is what a Serpent instance/tab did when it loaded. You should also bump up the version number, as both BWC's latest ntdll and yours are 5.00.2195.7125.

  4. Summary: This project is a combination of NTDLL from BlackWingCat's Extended Kernel and NTDLL from WildBill's KB2479629-v3. How this began: This project began when I needed to run a program that required some functions that were only present in NTDLL from BlackWingCat's Extended Kernel and some functions that were only present in NTDLL from WildBill's KB2479629-v3. The NTDLL file: The first 3 versions of NTDLL-XEC (NTDLLx1-3(B)) are based on NTDLL from BlackWingCat's Extended Kernel v30e (latest version as of writing this) and contain some functions from WildBill's KB2479629-v3. NTDLLx4 is based on NTDLL from WildBill's KB2479629-v3 and contains functions from BlackWingCat's Extended Kernel. Downloads: NTDLLx4: DLL | Installer Changelog: NTDLLx1: Initial Release NTDLLx2: Code for new functions now stored in .xdata ZwQueryDebugState no longer uses same code as NtQueryDebugState Error in LdrCreateOutOfProcessImage fixed NTDLLx3: Test release for adding exports with PEMaker NTDLLx3B: Fixed issues in NTDLLx3 Changed file version to 5.0.2195.7133 to follow new file version rules NTDLLx4: File is now based on NTDLL from WildBill's KB2479629-v3. Added ALL functions from NTDLL from BlackWingCat's Extended Kernel v30e. Added Functions: Click on each version to view the list of added functions in semi-alphabetical order. NTDLLx1 | NTDLLx2/3(B) | NTDLLx4 File modification process: Find required subroutines for functions with IDA Move export table to new section before .rsrc (if needed) Increase size of .patch with PEMaker (if needed) Add code to blank space in .text and if needed, add code at end of .patch with HxD Add exports to export table with PEMaker Fix errors in code with IDA Change file version and fix red text on main page of PEMaker Name and version number info: NTDLL-XEC: X - Ximonite E - Extension C - Combo File Version: 5.0.2195.71## ## = My version number + 30 Examples: NTDLLx4 - 5.0.2195.7134, NTDLLx12 - 5.0.2195.7142 IDA Tips and Tricks: Press F2 while in Hex View to edit hex values. Right click a location a function is calling and click "Manual" to change the location. Go to Edit > Patch program > Assemble... to have IDA automatically modify hex values after changing location with Manual.

  7. Using two separate partitions/volumes, 1 for Vista and 1 for 8.1 would be needed. The Vista install (unlike 7 and later) does not create the (second - third in this case) separate "boot" volume (What MS calls "System") on unpartitioned devices which actually, in this case might be useful . http://www.multibooters.co.uk/system.html The possible issue (and a decision to be made) is whether: 1) having Vista on C: and Windows 8.1 on D: (and have each system "see" the other volume) and with the BOOTMGR and \boot\BCD on C: or 2) having Vista on C: and Windows 8.1 on C: hiding the "other" partition to the "other" OS and with separate BOOTMGR and \boot\BCD on each volume, using a third party boot manager such as grubdos to hide the other volume or 3) having either of the above and a third volume with a "common" BOOTMGR and \boot\BCD, with or without a drive letter normally assigned to it. jaclaz

  8. 8.1 should be installed after Vista. Aside from that, there shouldn't be any special considerations.

  9. This would mean to give up on all the hardware in the PC, except the 7 disk drives. Not to mention the decade old install of XP with most issues ironed out, all my little tweaks, and all my programs. At work i used a Dell D620 to do my job at repairing tablets, i3/i5/i7s and all kinds of other new crap. I had to replace it with a D830 after a HDD break and another (still undiagnosed) failure, that made even a freshly installed XP to BSOD at most inappropriate times. Still keep the D620 just in case, though. My coworkers tried to shoehorn a tower workstation on me, but they took it away after months of it just collecting dust under my table, lol. I only used that to test disks and PCI cards...

  11. I suspect the issue is missing or corrupted root certificate(s): VeriSign Class 3 Public Primary Certification Authority - G5 Thawte Root Certificates (you need Thawte Timestamping CA) When you have the both files: Start->Run..., type mmc and confirm. File->Add/Remove Snap-in... Add... Select Certificates, click Add->select Computer account->Next->Finish. Check and note down if either Thawte Timestamping CA or VeriSign Class 3 Public Primary Certification Authority - G5 are present in Trusted Root Certification Authorities->Certificates, so you'll only import the missing ones in the following steps. Right-click on Trusted Root Certification Authorities->All Tasks->Import...->Next. Browse to the first file/certificate->Next->Finish. Repeat 6. - 7. for the second file/certificate, if needed. Find VeriSign Class 3 Public Primary Certification Authority - G5 in Trusted Root Certification Authorities->Certificates->right-click->Properties. Tick Enable only the following purposes, then on the list below, enable first 4 (Server Authentication, Client Authentication, Code Signing, Secure Email) and confirm. Find Thawte Timestamping CA, open its properties, enable only Timestamping on the list.

  14. Why change something that works very well ? The version 5 of Pop Peeper is being developped. When it will be release, perhaps that I will update my copy to the version 4. After a lot of tests of course.

  16. I'm taking a look at office suites and support is slowly dwindling away. Only suite I know of that still keeps XP support is OpenOffice. It's half-brother, LibreOffice, dropped support a while back. Has anyone tried WPS Office?

  17. On the very long run, yes, but we're talking about years... I gotta say though that XP is suffering the lack of support for many things by now and although many things still work for Professional Usage (Avisynth+, x262/x264/x265, ffmpeg, etc) some other don't (recent version of Visual Studio, Photoshop, Premier, AVID Media Composer, Davinci Resolve, Blender, AVID ProTools, Cubase, etc) making it impossible to be used for professional stuff anymore... Even Avisynth+ - which is still supported as a frameserver along with many filters - suffers a pretty bad thing: it doesn't have any updated indexers and without an indexer you cannot create an uncompressed A/V stream to be used inside a frameserver, so... And sure there are workarounds like using ffmpeg to make a lossless mezzanine file with HuffYUV or FFV1 etc but still it's far from being an ideal workflow... Besides, some other lossless codecs like UTVideo dropped XP support entirely along with Windows 7 support, so it's a no go as well. Things are different for a non-professional use of XP, like browsing (we do have updated browsers), watching videos (we do have updated video players like PotPlayer), listening to audio files (PotPlayer again to name one or Foobar 2000 etc), chatting with our friends and relatives (there's Miranda which supports Skype, Facebook, Discord, IRC and other platform, there's Telegram which still works although new version don't work, there's TeamSpeak which works if you use an old version and you connect to an old server and so on). Of course, no one is stopping you from using old version of very well-known programs, however the problem is that bugs will never be fixed and of course nothing new will be supported. For instance, a friend of mine bought the Sony A7III which shoots pictures in 6K HLG HDR. I wanted to edit the raw footages with Photoshop CS4, however I couldn't because it didn't support that camera and the plugin released by Sony didn't work with older version of Photoshop. I couldn't even see them 'cause although Irfan View managed to display them, Windows XP has NO FLIPPING CLUE about what a color curve other than the Linear BT601 and Linear BT709 is, therefore it was totally ignoring both the colormatrix BT2020 and the color curve HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma), thus displaying a gray-ish image. One more example? Well, a friend of mine bought a BlackMagic Cinema Pocket Camera and I wanted to see the videos on my computer, but sadly .braw files can be decoded by the BlackMagic Player only (no MPV, no Media Player Classic, no PotPlayer, no VLC etc) but of course it didn't work on XP as I couldn't install it. Of course the guys from BlackMagic also released an .msi with the codec so that you can use whatever player you like as long as it uses DirectShowSource (like MPC-HC), but again I couldn't install it because it didn't support XP... Long story short: I do like XP, it's something that really matters to me, but it's just a VM on my computer now... I also have a VM with Windows 98SE which is constantly closed and I turn it on once in a while when it's its "birthday", I look at it, I remember the good old days and then I turn it off again. As to XP I do use it, but only as my non-work-related OS. You know, I use it to check Facebook, to go to Doom9, MSFN, to chat with my friends, to listen to music and to help the Avisynth community, but that's pretty much it. For everything else, I have Windows 10 which I use for stuff like Visual Studio, Eclipse, MATLAB and other stuff. As to the main OS which handles the VMs, I'm using Fedora (which is Linux, namely the distro used by Linus Torvald himself and the one that it's a "beta" of the RHEL used by many companies) and I'm quite happy about it. Sure, it's not XP, but at least it's not Windows 10... As a side note, for everyone holding their breaths for One Core API and the modified kernel, just... don't... Sure, the development is going on, we're making progress and it indeed adds some functions/kernel calls that didn't exist on XP before and you can download it, install it and use it even now like I've been doing for quite some time, but if you think that it's going to be a miracle that makes everything run for years to come, including drivers etc... don't... In the foreseeable future, I think .NET Framework 5 will be one of the things that will kill XP and Windows 7.

  18. I don't think so. We still have high-quality web browsers being produced and still have vast virtualization/emulation opportunities that 9x never had, to run certain applications that won't suffer much of a performance hit. Whilst there are numerous games and other hardware-accelerated software that have issues on Vista and above, which would make XP x64 the ideal OS for such applications, since it runs nearly x86 games as well as XP x86 plus a few x64 native games. I know that one game of mine, Sid Meier's Railroads, which I've been playing since before there was a Vista, needs a couple hex edits to not crash every 3 minutes on NT6 systems. But what still bothers me about playing it in Vista is that the delay to open some screens is about five seconds, when it's instant on 2000/XP. So I try to get as many games as possible on NT5 and realize that virtualization on top of a newer OS is not an option.

  19. I'm sure that there will always be Windows XP "enthusiasts", as there still are for Windows 9x (perhaps not for Windows ME so much! ) I think a lot of people, myself included, just still like the XP user interface a lot more than later versions of Windows. The locked down file and registry security on later versions of Windows is an annoyance for a lot of power users as well I'm sure, the hoops you have to jump through sometimes just to get into some Explorer folders for instance. All very worthy and understandable by Microsoft I'm sure to try to protect non-technical users from messing up their systems, but a great source of annoyance for many! Welcome to MSFN BTW!

  21. There could be a situation that some components of the software don't load on WinXP while it appears to install and even start. Last version of SMPlayer for XP is 17.3; later versions have a new MPV module. Without a video codec, a player does nothing. IrfanView past 4.53 has a couple incompatible DLLs, one of them WebP. XnView also has a WebP dll. Maybe add a mark on your list for partially working titles. I've read back in the thread a reference about something being officially supported. Probably it is more important that the program works than if somebody on its developer's forum will answer questions about it ("support"). The very latest versions are usually not the best on XP... ugly flat design, require too much memory, slow.
