    XP USB Hotfix

    This hotfix was included in XP SP2, so yes, it's in SP3 as well. I inquired as to whether the hotfixes were applicable to XP SP1. Also it appears that the x86 English version of the patch is not listed (and it is the one I want).

    XP USB Hotfix

    I had noticed the link at the top of the page. The update should be for Windows XP or Windows XP with Service Pack 1. I reached the hotfix request form. On the form, all hotfixes are listed as Release "sp2". Do the hotfixes selectable entries from the hotfixes request for work (or should work) for Windows XP with Service Pack 1?
  3. I am looking for the hotfix from: Your Computer Stops Responding (Hangs) When You Try to Bring It out of Standby or out of Hibernation by Using a USB Device http://support.microsoft.com/kb/826959/ Where may the hotfix be acquired?
  4. I thought that the Windows 2000 System File Checker (SFC) may overwrite a simply copied update.sys file to %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers directory (it does). To get aroud that I thaought that an *.inf file may be needed to install it. Please advise that this should not work if this should not work.From the thread "Microcode updates - UPDATE.SYS" ( http://www.msfn.org/board/Microcode-update...SYS-t44388.html ), MDGx made patches that replace UPDATE.SYS on Windows 98SE/ME. Microsoft Corporation also release updates that patch the Microcode Update Device driver for Windows XP/2003/Vista (32-bit and 64-bit) ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936357 ). Apparently, it should be possible to install updates for drivers protected by SFC.
  5. Yes, it support USB boot but from HD or other devices but flash USB not working so that i'm looking for update for my BIOS. The Gigabyte BIOS also supports "Boot other device" but its interface to change its setting is disabled and its default value is "Disabled". The "Boot other device" may be enabled by modifying the flash BIOS file.To boot to the flash drive, the flash drive should be partitioned like a hard disk with its boot sector written to launch an operating system usually DOS or a variant) from the flash drive.
  6. I wish to update the Microcode Update Device driver (update.sys) on Windows 2000 family operating systems. The "update.sys" file contains microcode that is uploaded to Intel processors on performance of function of the update.sys driver. The newest update.sys file I have found comes with Windows XP Service Pack 3 (may be acquired http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/info.as...SP3-x86-ENU.exe ). I have attached images to this thread: One showing "Microcode Update Device" in device manager, and the other a search of the Windows XP Service Pack 3 files for "update.sys" contained within the files. For the search for the text "update.sys" of the Windows XP Service Pack 3 files, I had decompressed the compressed files to the search's root directory ("xp_sp3") and extracted the cabbed files to other directories. No cabbed files had references to update.sys. The only reference to update.sys from the expanded (decompressed) files was for the "wuapi.dl_" file. The file "update.sy_" is the compressed update.sys file and is located in the i386 directory. I have the driver file from Windows XP Service Pack 3, update.sys, containing the newer microcode updates, but I do not have the a Setup Information file (*.inf file) for the installation of the driver. I request assistance for this matter to prepare a driver update. Any help in this matter is appreciated. EDIT: I would attach the "update.sys" file to this thread, but it appears the file is larger than the limitation by the forum (even in compressed form).
  7. I checked the Gigagbyte F7d BIOS and have determined that it should support USB boot devices (where the boot order is selected).
  8. The quoted information is not accurate.
  9. Indeed for a version of QuickTime Alternative earlier than 1.90 (although the DirectShow filters of versions earlier than 1.90 did not work well).
  10. The following is an excerpt from Microsoft Windows Media Player 6.4 help documentation copied from a computer running Windows 2000 Professional with Service Pack 4. The help documentation makes reference to Windows Media Player supporting Apple QuickTime and QuickTime file extensions.Does Windows Media Player 6.4 come with QuickTime support? I have not been able to get QuickTime files to play in Windows Media Player 6.4.
  11. Or that the media for which problems were encountered is not correctly supported in firmware.
