Both 32-bit and 64-bit versions are available from this link...

All seven installed OK for me (5 for XP and 2 for Office). Of course, YMMV.

My take? Let Dibya do his thing to the point of getting it working well, without pestering him about open source and the like. Whoever wants to take the risk and test it, will do it, no matter what. Either Dibya becomes a trusted source by consensus or not. And, that, only time will tell. Till then, let him work in peace. Blackwingcat and Tihiy never made their products open source and are trusted. And Xeno86 only opened his sources when letting go of the KernelEx project. At this point, such a discussion cannot be more than nuisance. Let there be a product 1st. Then one can talk of opening sources. These're my 2¢.

For Ivy Bridge the mobo drivers ASUS offers for any P8Z68 or P8Z77 mobo should do fine. For Haswell and later, sorry, nothing that I know of works.

Not anymore. MS knows better. They say you must reboot every 6h. Period. Resistance is futile!

I do. I never had to uninstall the previous Shockwave Player version 1st. And I always got my installer from this official link.

@TuMaGoNx: Yes! XomPie surely is the way to go! Keep on the good work!

Moreover, modded binaries are intrinsically unredistributable, so the only way to redistribute that without redistributing other peoples binaries is by using patch patterns. And not only it's way more difficult to gain trust with patch patterns, but most people are resistant to using them at all. And, either way it requires disabling WFP or the like, at least for the file in question, which also is much resisted, nowadays... I think I had said it before, but probably not in so many words.

Don't do it. Wait at least one month, then let's see how you feel about it, OK?

Not only jaclaz is right, but your running XP perfectly on a Skylake is a question of point-of-view, in that you surely aren't being able to use at all the chipset's own USB 3.0 ports in USB 3.0 mode, nor the on-chip HD 530 GPU. I'm really glad you're fully satisfied with what XP offers you, and working on improving it, too. But, for most people, Ivy Bridge / Cougar Point or Ivy Bridge-E /Patsburg are the latest possible Intel machnes to run XP SP3 really perfectly. Windows XP rocks! But people has the right to disagree.

VirtualBOX on TrueOS with XP/7/8/8.1 32-bit running inside should be enough for most uses... TrueOS is FreeBSD with Bash and Zfs, and can run bot executables from BSD-land and linux-land natively. It has a resonably sane desktop environment, too. But one may even run CDE over it if one so wishes.

Well, IMO, the best word to define Windows 10 in Italian is "supercazzola"...

Of course, jaclaz was not thinking about this, but my take is you'd be wrong to go linux, when TrueOS is actually the best choice (IMO)... TrueOS is a desktop/notebook distribution of FreeBSD, using Sun's own OpenZFS filesystem. It's, hands down, the best unix option for a personal computer. Of course, these are just my 2¢, so feel free to ignore my advice but, since you've asked, I volunteered my advice.

No. But the fact you surely installed it in a primary partition does.

"Marketing" is a misleading euphemism for "propaganda": it is ontologically bad, never harmless.

BTW, their best OS, MacOS X, is a true-blood BSD spawn, not an in-house OS created from scratch...

I'm moving this to the 9x/ME Forum, which is where it belongs...

Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 Extended support will end on April 9, 2019... and were Confucius alive, he'd become 2570 years old on Sep 28, 2019!

... 'nuff said?

ACPI1003 is catered for by the default battery.inf

Did you try Autoruns 13.62 already? If so, try again, but launch it as TI. You may create a .cmd batch for that and run it from the startup folder...

Other possibilities are described here.

Great! But how do you get it to run like that? Can you share the secret with us?

Yeah, but that one is not near as good as Joakim's. Joakim's original tools are over on reboot.pro and, while he has a new one, called RunasTI, which unifies the two origenal tool, I still prefer the original ones. In a nutshell one runs them as the TIcmd.cmd below: rem joakim http://reboot.pro/files/file/237-runassystem-and-runfromtoken/ net.exe start trustedinstaller runassystem64.exe "runfromtoken64.exe trustedinstaller.exe 1 cmd.exe" exit But one may substitute cmd.exe by any other valid command. Except for explorer.exe, which somehow regains a lower priviledge when one tries to get it running as TI. Then again, regedit will run all right and most, if not all, priviledge problems go away (although, then, the current user is "Local System"). There's also many other tools by Joakim on reboot.pro Joakim is a member here on MSFN, too, but does not visit often. This page, by fdv, also makes an interesting read. NB: While the tool's above let you become the TrustedInstaller, and the trick you posted above with psexec let you become SYSTEM, which has less rights, if one runs MS's own whoami it'll reply "SYSTEM" in both cases, because both use the LocalService Hive as its user hive. And, also BTW, there's paexec, too, as an alternative (if I don't tell this, jaclaz'll, so here it is).

BTW, how are you becoming TrustedInstaller on 10? With Joakim's tools? Up to 8.1 I'm sure it's the most reliable way to do it.
