  2. The exact string I posted is (obviously) what is in the .inf, in the Registry, it is the SCSIAdapter class: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/install/system-defined-device-setup-classes-available-to-vendors In the Registry you need to check: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E97B-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318 } HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\{4D36E97B-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318 } HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Control\Class\{4D36E97B-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318 } There is no such thing as CurrentControlSet2 that I know of in "normal operation", it must be an artifact of heaven knows which program or operation. But of course the UpperFilters was just something to check, not necessarily the actual culprit. Quick reminder about ControlSets: https://msfn.org/board/topic/181451-are-the-ssd-disks-windows-2000-compatible/page/2/?tab=comments#comment-1182267 Check which ControlSet is in use according to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Select Sorry to be blunt, but from the fact that you have a ControlSet up to 008 it means that what you call "tuned" install I would personally call "botched beyond repair" or "with so many cruft accumulated that it is hopeless". jaclaz

  3. I think that only 98SE KernelEx has had a compatibility tab with options like 2000/XP/Vista. On Windows 2000, no shimming is typically required to run newer apps (but it's required more often for installers). If needed, you can do it with the included tools fcwin2k (changes OS version per-program) and NNN4NT5 (changes OS version system-wide). http://win2k.org/wlu/wluen.htm - where you can find BWC's updates and drivers. https://twilczynski.com/windows/updates/ - for official Windows 2000 updates. So, yes.

  4. Thanks, so it wasn't just me then! I eventually left it scanning overnight, and in the morning I found that it had found the updates. How long it actually look I have no way of telling of course. All installed fine, and my policy with MSO.DLL now is that if it's replaced with another bad version, which it was, I just replace the bad version of the file with the last good version. All comes good then, and it stops any nags about the update not being installed.

  5. On the other hand: Non ha il palio se non chi corre. @Dave-H A I see it, specifically there are maybe three quarters of the functions that serve no useful purposes but there are a few that - should they work - seem very useful. And - besides - in theory we need not any particularly fancy control panel, we can use *any* of them (now that they all work) and supplement them (or replace them) with .reg files ot reg.exe commands. Of all the various ones, the best one (IMHO) is anyway the Aniconf.exe, as it is the one that actually "respects" the Registry settings (more or less), with possibly the only "missing" option being that of (with UI_Theme=5) to use the Tap_One_Finger_Enable, which seems like a "better" option as it allows to disable the one finger tap but - at least in theory - still allow to use 2 and 3 finger taps. Additionally, it is the easier to trace as changes in its settings are immediately, one by one, reflected in the Registry, whilst the other ones write to the registry the whole lot of keys. Anyway, it is only up to you. Attached is a scheme on how the various setting in SmartPadDisplay affect the various ETDAniconf.exe (I rduced them to only three versions as they are representative of the other ones). jaclaz SmartDisplay.zip

  6. If any MSFN members is interested, I publish an update of my UBO lists in NM28. The UBO Easy Privacy List now blocks port scans on most sites: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/ublock-origin-for-chrome-now-blocks-port-scans-on-most-sites/

  8. Type about:config in the address bar, hit enter, then search for media.webm.enabled... Double click it to toggle the value to false. If you need to, try disabling the h264ify add-on.
