If only Manufacturers could use unique names. Alternatively having their own site search engine capable of finding their own product name (MS-1785) would be a nice improvement. That should be a laptop GT72VR 6RD, is it this one? https://www.msi.com/Laptop/GT72VR-6RD-Dominator.html I believe that motherboard actually has 3.1 USB ports. Have you already tried the "standard" drivers here? http://download.msi.com/nb_drivers/usb/ASMUSBHost_V116381WHQL.zip jaclaz

@Damnation It depends on the actual mouse. Some are "both" USB and PS/2 (and will work with the adapter) some are USB only (some logitech ones are PS/2 but work when connected with their PS/2 to USB adapter). Yes, the idea is - once verified that USBdeview works in adding/enabling the device (the keyboard when using the PS/2 mouse) you set it to run with the correct command line as a startup item, it has to be seen which kind of startup item would be better, but since hopefully it is only a temporary workaround, a shortcut/link in Startup folder. jaclaz

And what motherboard USB hardware? jaclaz

It's OK, the tool is closed source, there won't be a source code release, don't use it, and dont buy a license for it, don't be sad . jaclaz

There is was a "disappeared" patch: https://github.com/graysky2/chromium-no-sse2-patch (404 now) Via Wayback Machine: http://web.archive.org/web/20150209003342/https://github.com/graysky2/chromium-no-sse2-patch And seemingly a fork: https://github.com/bircoph/chromium-no-sse2-patch itself pointing to a MIA resource on ArchLinux (pointing back to the graysky2 one above) http://web.archive.org/web/20140910041820/https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/chromium-no-sse2/ thestig at chromium.org must be a very nice guy : https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=400842 More or less (not actually news) noone actually cares about people with less powerful or slightly old machines , as a matter of fact a lot of people seems actively engaged in attempting to force them to upgrade... jaclaz

Try removing the keyboard. No, I am serious, try disconnecting both the Keyboard and mouse, boot to the XP and then reconnect only the mouse (you can use the on screen keyboard temporarily). What happens? Then try using any of the other ports (I know that the two you are using are supposed to be mouse and keyboard) but just to see what happens. Can you procure/borrow/steal a PS/2 mouse and keyboard? Still to see what happens. (I know you seemingly have only a "combo" PS/2 port, but trying either PS/2 mouse or keyboard on it would be ok). Do you have the mouse (and keyboard) available at logon screen? If not, you may want - temporarily - to set the system as autologin: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows/login-automatically-on-windows-xp-home-professional/ Then, get USBDeview: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html and try experimenting with it and particularly with its command line switch /enable. It would be an ugly workaround (provided that it works) to re-enable the mouse and keyboard at each boot (say via startup items), but maybe it allows you to carry on further experiments to find the culprit. jaclaz

As you well know we need to agree to disagree. I have run Windows NT 4.00 Workstation and Server, 2000 Workstation, 2000 server and also XP systems for several years shutting them down only for programmed maintenance or for hardware failures, and they all did what they were supposed to do 24/7[*]. I understand that in your case you asked (because you needed it) simply "too much" to the system, but in "normal" operation all of them have been proved (and in several instances) "unbreakable", the "don't worry, if you won't reboot daily WE will reboot your machine daily pushing an update" is the "new" philosophy since 8/8.1 and 10. jaclaz [*] of course on "good quality" hardware, what has actually created issues -if any - over the years were either third party drivers or lousy hardware/peripherals in my experience.

Well, if you are happy with that patch, it is good , the experience of other people suggest that there are stability issues on some hardware and that a "better" or "more complete" patch is needed, and this nicely explains the 13 (thirteen) pages of that thread. jaclaz

The long, complicated thread is here (just for the record): and the original post by liquidLD is here (still for the record): jaclaz

This patch like any other similar patch is - not unexpectedly - very stable on some hardware and extremely unstable on other hardware, it is not "news", that patch it is a well known one, it is around since 2011 or so, in this or that version: http://bbs.pediy.com/showthread.php?t=137830 http://www.xpforums.com/showthread.php?t=932418 You are obviously new to the board , so you may well have missed the most relevant topics about that, that pointertovoid missed all the discussions is a bit harder to believe, and - apart from this - you do understand that you are posting *everythng* in a thread titled "Intel (Haswell) HD 4600 XP drivers here" ? The general idea is to look for previous discussions on a given topic/matter, and once determined that you have something of interest or new about that topic, post there your contributions or comments. Otherwise we will soon have tens of duplicate info in mis-titled topics ... jaclaz

Oww, comeon , this horse has been beaten to death. Windows XP "Gold" or SP1 has no issues with PAE (more than 4 Gb of memory), it was an artificial limitation introduced with SP2, there is a whole loooong thread dedicated to the matter and to the possible patches and to the issues that they may cause ....: jaclaz

If you are talking of thrishtech site, there is nothing to download there (if not through suspicious ads), anyway all the meaningful info that is in there is that chrome.exe allows a parameter: –allow-outdated-plug-ins that you can add to the shortcut launching it, here is the screenshot from that site: There is anyway a Registry setting for the same: https://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3 https://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3#AllowOutdatedPlugins jaclaz

Just to understand, what do you mean you were questioned or interrogated? (of course if you are allowed to publish any detail) jaclaz P.S.: Just in case: http://all.net/ForensicsPapers/2012-12-07-OverwrittenMagneticRecovery.pdf

In Opera (12.15 or 12.17, i.e before the ECC addition in 12.18) it would be Error 40. jaclaz

You posted about a problem. I attempted to have you test if the problem had Cause #1 (TLS as you thought and hinted in the title) or Cause #2 (ECC as I believed). The cause is seemingly #2. TLS != ECC https://support.globalsign.com/customer/portal/articles/1995283-ecc-compatibility Happy New Year! jaclaz

@Ninho Look , as I see it, the issue with that specific site should be connected with ECC (and NOT with TLS 1.2). It would have probably cost you nothing (or next to nothing) doing the tests I suggested to make sure that my (educated) guess was right (or utterly wrong), instead you just ignored it (which is entirely OK, of course). I should know better than attempting to help people that know more than I do, my bad . jaclaz

Which was what the OP was told initially, but decided to ignore ... jaclaz

@greenhillmaniac jaclaz

Yep, it is "inaccessible boot device", in your case it does mean a mismatch between hardware and (SATA or AHCI) drivers or a "bad" installations of those drivers. But don't you have a "IDE compatibility mode" in your BIOS? (only to temporarily check if the rest is OK, then you may reinstall with the "right" drivers or manually add them) jaclaz

That dll 1.626.7601.23585 is also inside these Windows 7/2008 R2 updates (but it is dated 10/27/2016): https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3205394 or https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3207752 jaclaz

Try that page: https://www.aidanwoods.com/blog/faulty-login-pages/ on your system with QTWEB: http://www.qtweb.net/ (should work fine). If you try it with Opera 12.15 it should give you "error 40" BUT it should work with Opera 12.18. You can use the portable versions to make the test: http://www.opera-usb.com/download.htm If this is the case, the issue shoud be "elliptic curve crytography": http://www.opera.com/blogs/security/2016/02/opera-12-and-opera-mail-security-update/ jaclaz

And I will reiterate how for someone having a Windows 7 that is not "genuine" the official (and straightforward) solution is the GGK: https://www.microsoft.com/oem/en/licensing/antipiracy/Pages/get_genuine_kit.aspx#fbid=pnHxNe8piDn Whether it is available still in the US, as said, it is another matter, but wouldn't - say - Walmart do?
