As often happens a surely accidental little mistake is (has been, and will be) perpetuated forever until someone actually corrects it EXPLICITLY. This: is WRONG. The correct path is: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AdvancedOptions\CRYPTO\TLS1.1 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AdvancedOptions\CRYPTO\TLS1.2 See this updated thread: https://msfn.org/board/topic/181705-solving-vistas-lack-of-tls-11-or-12/ And this reference one: https://www.vistax64.com/threads/ie9-last-supported-browser-for-vista.305228/ jaclaz

I don't know, I just reported what I found, generally speaking WinClient5270 posts are accurate, but of course there can always be an exception to the rule, possibly a typo but yes, confirmed (sort of), the correct path is: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AdvancedOptions\CRYPTO\ https://www.vistax64.com/threads/ie9-last-supported-browser-for-vista.305228/ jaclaz P.S.: I corrected the .reg file I posted earlier AND updated the original thread: https://msfn.org/board/topic/177994-tls-1112-and-vista-issue-no-options/

Well, Regedit is a rather simple tool. You open it, you can "run" regedit.exe from the start menu. https://www.digitalcitizen.life/run-window-windows-7-why-use-it-anymore You will see a two pane window. On the left you will see "hives" (imagine for the moment that they are folders in Explorer) You double click (in the left pane) on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and the "folder" will open showing "sub-folders" (actually "keys") . You navigate down the tree, since you want to get to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AdvancedOptions\CRYPTO\TLS1.1, you need to click on: Software Microsoft Internet Explorer AdvancedOptions CRYPTO TLS1.1 when you are there, on the right you will find a number of "files" (actually "values"), imagine that they are all .txt files, and that - like it would happen for a .txt file in Eplorer - if you double click on one it will open in Notepad to be edited. But you don't want to edit it, you should find in the right pane, under the "path": HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AdvancedOptions\CRYPTO\TLS1.1 a "file" ("value") named "OSVersion". You can right click on it and in the pop-up menu choose "Delete". That's it, it is not in any way different from deleting a file in Explorer. Watch this (it is an XP but Vista - besides the looks - is not in any way different): jaclaz

Looking around, I have seen quite a few Task Scheduler replacements/alternatives, and (only to confirm that you are not the only one) quite a few people stating that the built-in Task Scheduler is "unreliable". A few: https://www.splinterware.com/download/index.html https://www.z-cron.com/download.html https://web.archive.org/web/2019*/http://www.theabsolute.net/sware/files/tasksched.exe a Java based one: https://www.oliver-matuschin.de/en/projects/task-till-dawn jaclaz

Normally you right click on the link and choose "Save as", anyway you can copy and paste the following and save it with Notepad as "vista-tls-1.1-1.2-update.reg" Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AdvancedOptions\CRYPTO\TLS1.1] "OSVersion"=- [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AdvancedOptions\CRYPTO\TLS1.2] "OSVersion"=- it is a simple .reg file that - once merged to the Registry - deletes the two OsVersion values. But the issue here may be (see my previous post) that the above is OK for 32 bit systems but for x64 you need other modifications, i,e. this .reg: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AdvancedOptions\CRYPTO\TLS1.1] "OSVersion"=- [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AdvancedOptions\CRYPTO\TLS1.2] "OSVersion"=- But since they are just a few changes, only involving deleting a value you can do the above manually with Regedit. jaclaz

Naah, don't worry, it is just a sketch, maybe 1/4 of the needed work, it needs to be made into actually producing the restore points, I have no idea where they are saved in Windows 7, and/or it is possible to use ISO yyyymmdd_hhmm (or there is instead the need to write to a log/database of sorts), needs to be tested, and possibly made "foolproof", checking for elevation/Admin credentials, and what not. The WMIC command to create a restore point should be something like: wmic.exe /Namespace:\\root\default Path SystemRestore Call CreateRestorePoint "MyRestorePoint", 100, 7 that would become in the batch wmic.exe /Namespace:\\root\default Path SystemRestore Call CreateRestorePoint "%now%", 100, 7 but that goes into the "description", not in the file name, so you will need to list descriptions, probably *like* here: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/131901-see-list-all-available-system-restore-points-windows.html jaclaz

... or you stop the background service or disconnect from the internet (but of course is much better to verify that the OS is patched to last updates ) jaclaz

Can you explain better? I mean if you type something, then it is not an empty string. jaclaz

Yep , exactly. Let's call it PHATS , (Poorman's Half-@§§ed Task Scheduler). A batch sketch: @ECHO OFF SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS :: Use WMIC to retrieve date and time FOR /F %%A IN ('WMIC Path Win32_LocalTime Get /Format:list ^|FIND "="') DO SET my_%%A :: Check that today is one of the "blessed" days :: Every three days, this will however make a file on the 31st and one on the 1st of following month :: AND there is no check about how old is last file :: FOR /L %%A IN (1,3,31) DO IF %%A EQU %my_day% GOTO :do_something :: OR Monday, Wednesday, Friday FOR /L %%A IN (1,2,5) DO IF %%A EQU %my_DayOfWeek% GOTO :do_something ECHO Not the right day, today is %my_day%, day of week #%my_DayOfWeek% GOTO :EOF :do_something SET my_month=0%my_month% SET my_month=%my_month:~-2,2% SET my_day=0%my_day% SET my_day=%my_day:~-2,2% SET my_hour=0%my_hour% SET my_hour=%my_hour:~-2,2% SET my_minute=0%my_minute% SET my_minute=%my_minute:~-2,2% SET now=%my_year%%my_month%%my_day%_%my_hour%%my_minute% SET now FOR /F %%A IN ('DIR /b /O-N *_*.txt 2^>NUL') DO SET my_last=%%~nA&&GOTO :Out_of_loop :Out_of_loop IF NOT DEFINED my_last GOTO :do_cmd IF %now:~0,8% EQU %my_last:~0,8% GOTO :Error_1 IF %now:~0,8% LSS %my_last:~0,8% GOTO :Error_2 IF %now:~0,6% LSS %my_last:~0,6% GOTO :do_cmd SET /A Delta=%now:~0,8% - %my_last:~0,8% IF %Delta% GEQ 3 GOTO :do_cmd GOTO :EOF :do_cmd ECHO Imagine here a command that makes a restore point ECHO and *somehow* names it %now%.txt ECHO Something>%now%.txt GOTO:EOF :Error_1 ECHO Nothing to do, a today file exists. PAUSE GOTO:EOF :Error_2 ECHO Nothing to do, a later than today file exists. PAUSE GOTO:EOF jaclaz

I know that one per day i just "too much" and this is why i suggested to automate the making of a manual one through a conditional script that you can change so that the actual manual restore point is made ONLY when more conditions are met (two in the example, date and NOT an existing one): jaclaz

If I recall correctly, what I saw around (more prosumer than professional) were: Ulead https://web.archive.org/web/20000815234845/http://www.ulead.com/vs/ Pinnacle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinnacle_Systems Pro's largely used (again if I recall correctly) Avid : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avid_DS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Composer jaclaz

You could also try to install the older update, KB4019276 https://msfn.org/board/topic/177994-tls-1112-and-vista-issue-no-options/ The thread contains also a note about possibly needing (of course if either update is installed) to modify also the contents of Wow6432Node\CRYPTO on x64 machines. Also: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-update/updates-not-working-it-has-been-searching-for/92cd6922-17f6-4730-b46b-91a480b95dd3?page=1&messageId=1ef00080-91e9-4ffa-a5a3-92f6ecd69c32 jaclaz

... and sometimes fail at it ... I understand what your question was, but, since noone knows (or won't tell you ) how to use the specific tool you want to use to obtain the specific expected result, I suggested another possible way to obtain the same actual specific expected result. I will use one of my re-known (and lousy ) carpenter's comparisons: I read your request as: "I need to join two pieces of wood, I tried superglue but it didn't work." To which I replied: "You could try using the old school way, nails or screws and vinyl glue, instead. Rest assured that the two pieces of wood will remain joined" jaclaz

Try following this, it is essentially the same set of instructions: https://johnhaller.com/useful-stuff/enable-tls-1.1-and-1.2-on-windows-vista re-assembled in a way that should be easier to follow/replicate, with a simple pre-made .reg to be merged in the Registry and with an additional link to last Firefox version working on Vista (just in case). Then try following this: https://help.hotschedules.com/hc/en-us/articles/360020184072-Enabling-TLS-1-2-on-web-browsers#Firefox jaclaz

On second thought, re-reading the two example diskpart scripts, they are identical, and have the same identical effect, so there is no need to choose a disk size at all. The first part always create a 2048 MB 1st, primary, active, partition with label "Systeme". The second part always creates a 2nd, primary partition with label "Data" with the whole rest of the disk (i.e. variable in function of the size of the disk). jaclaz

Allow me to doubt that any search engine will find any iso "with all the drivers for my SATA laptop", jaclaz

Sure, but the most basic scenario is that OP has to configure 100 (1000 or 10,000) similar machines that all come with one single disk BUT which size can be any of 120 GB, 200 GB, 450 GB, 1 TB and 2 TB. The main possible issue is IMHO - besides and before the case of more than one disk - that the user wrongly chooses the disk capacity. Then, there is no check to whether diskpart sees the disk(s) correctly and/or with the "right" number In cases like this - since (roughly) the capacity of an unpartitioned/unformatted disk can be easily found by diskpart - and adding your correct comment about the possible error about selecting the wrong disk I would go the other way round, first fire up diskpart looking for disks and specifically for disks unpartitioned/unformatted and then give the user only the option to partition/format that disk, automatically calculating the size of the second partition. This said, if the scenario is similar to the above, It might be easier/better/faster/etc. to use a FFU image instead: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/deploy-windows-using-full-flash-update--ffu https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/wim-vs-ffu-image-file-formats Various tests and considerations on FFU use: http://reboot.pro/topic/22182-capture-and-apply-windows-full-flash-update-ffu-images/ BTW, whilst in the FFU case it is needed, even in the "normal" approach seen above, the diskpart extend command may be used, if size is omittd it will default to "all available size on the right", thus filling the disk to the brim without needing any calculation. Of course it needs to be tested, but very likely partition/format/deploy FFU/extend partition will be faster than partition/format/deploy WIM or take the same time. jaclaz

To be fair, once "in production" the Windows 10 will be installed at a time where only one disk to be partitoned/formatted is connected, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to actually verify the disk sizes and avoid the possible operator error. jaclaz

Thanks , hadn't noticed. Maybe this: https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/ati-registry-tweaking-guide.51433/ jaclaz

Well, this is not at all "surprising". The B166713 folder corresponds to the CX166904.inf that contains the PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9838 (but not the PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9839) The B166496 folder corresponds to the CX171234.inf that contains NOT any "Kabini" related HWID. I would say that only files corresponding to a .inf with a provision for "ati2mtag_Kabini_Mobile" have a possibility to work. I am every day more convinced that the issue is with your card being part of the APU/embedded, while "ordinary" drivers are for "self-standing" cards - indirectly - this is confirmed here: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000028808/graphics/graphics-for-8th-generation-intel-processors.html jaclaz

Yep, it is not like you have that many alternatives anywyay. jaclaz

Curioser an curioser. The two drivers have essentially the SAME files (by version AND by size) BUT they are largely different . It makes little sense, it is practically impossible to compile two - even if only slightly - different sources to the same .exe/.dll size and compiling them leaving the same version is more than sloppy, bordering with total crazyness. See the attached. jaclaz Compare.xls

You usually need to assign a drive letter in diskpart: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-clean-and-format-storage-drive-using-diskpart-windows-10 Or you can use (externally) MountVol: https://ss64.com/nt/mountvol.html Since you only have to deal with "normal" volume/partitions on physicaldrives, you won't need anything else, however, and just in case, in this thread it is discussed at length on the various NT devices and DOS ones, besides providing a number of possibly useful tools: http://reboot.pro/topic/19622-vmount/ starting from around here: http://reboot.pro/topic/19622-vmount/?p=214603 jaclaz

Post one or two of the .txt diskpart script. JFYI, later (i.e. once the diskpart scripts/commands are tested and work) it is possible to embed them within the batch. See: https://msfn.org/board/topic/126069-updated-on-feb-27-2011-ordering-messed-drive-letter-batch-file/page/2/?tab=comments#comment-817142 https://msfn.org/board/topic/126069-updated-on-feb-27-2011-ordering-messed-drive-letter-batch-file/page/2/?tab=comments#comment-817388 You need "better" control of the input, if the user by mistake inputs "strange" characters there may be issues, though it is possible to better validate set /p input, In windows post-XP there is (in case) the choice command which accepts input without needing the [ENTER], maybe it would be more suited than set /p (as it has - besides input validation - also a timeout and a default provision): https://ss64.com/nt/choice.html jaclaz P,S, : ONLY for the fun of it, this is how I would have written your batch (mind you everyone has his/her own "style", not necessarily one is better than the other): @ECHO OFF SETLOCAL :debut CLS SET my_120GB=1 120 GB c:/Project/120.txt SET my_200GB=2 200 GB x:/diskpart/200.txt SET my_450GB=3 450 GB x:/diskpart/450.txt SET my_1000GB=4 1000 GB x:/diskpart/1000.txt SET my_2000GB=5 2000 GB x:/diskpart/2000.txt ECHO *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* ECHO "DISK CAPACITY AVAILABLE" ECHO *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* ECHO.
