take in consideration that they don't want to give security updates later to claim XP (NT 5.1/2) are less secure than NT 6 series thus the famous "upgrade to Windows ..." whatever its name is

to me whole MS approach is stupid bgates once in past said that purpose of SP to him would be only to deploy patches but even when "last" SP's are being released, there are tons of patches later by the logic there should be "end-SP" that would deliver last "wave" of patches and then to end the product support just look how many patches XP has after SP3... its hilarious

usually when new OS gets SP1 old one gets SP2

I find UI on that fresh paint thingy totally unusable

believe it or not a MS article actually helped (linked in 1st link that submix8c gave) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321410 this:

it was not problem with mdm but with ie's debug scripts and skype seems to use IE components (you can hear its popular click sounds when it loads the frame)

for now it seems it worked, will give it 2-3 days then report back also thanks alot ! It's amazing how IE can cause so much trouble

I personally wouldn't buy it even if it was just 1$ to me simply bad product don't deserve support

our "family pc" has some troubles it runs XP SP2 and 2 days ago we put skype on it, first day it ran ok and then yesterday these started to pop-out when it was ran then i checked even viewer, and got these: PC was scanned with malwarebytes am, nothing was found, I removed previously installed vc++ redist 2005 and installed vc++ redist 2005 SP1 and 2010 SP1 (just in case), since errors were tied with MachineDebugManager then since it mentions WUAUSERV i enabled win auto updates (altho it makes no logic to me), but still nothing was better then I removed skype, and installed it fresh, again nothing and this is the only app causing this mess I don't know what else to do any ideas ? (we don't even mind the event errors, just those annoying popup errors for debug are pain in arse)

only ported ones with alky and those are even bugged

if you want vista stuff then upgrade to vista problem solved

well there is no point giving updates for non final product, even if they fix bugs at least not minor ones

the list is too huge to see anything

I have annoying problem on win7sp1 last week I bought Transcend "JetFlash 350" stick of 16GB and when stiffed in usb port, it takes about 30 sec's to be loaded/shown in explorer while on XP it loads it within 2 sec's is there any way to tweak/speed this up or win7 has some issues ?

XP will not and POS Ready is threated as different product, at least from their end... also in business world its in their interest to shut down XP for good

problem these days, especially with NT 6 is that most services are (unfortunately) needed I remember how XP could run on 18-20 services NT 6 has to have ~35 and more

nvm my mind was on something else

I don't use win update (not since Win ME) so I have no problems with this enforce I only wait SP's and there they don't put that crap

1. yes 5. that would be illegal to write here

I don't see why not It would be dirty and tedious job though, and not many if anyone would bust their arse for it as it probably would involve either a repack of every single patch(ed) file(s) or direct hex hack to lower 5.2 to 5.1 (in case of server) but I see that POS Ready (SP3) holds 5.10.2600.5512 which is same as XP, this one maybe would go directly onto XP but you also have to realize that them both are ending support on 2014/2015 extended support (as far as I know) means, that only payed support will be and not free via win updates maybe I'm wrong ?

thats what you get when you show your work to MDL kids its inevitable but they won't have most recent versions

if you mean animation you can't AFAIK it also requires valid signature to work usually (atleast in past) some project that changed that were using the test mode (?) (or whatever its called)

it could but would be crippled by some functions

ah thank you ALL for help now it all works thanks again !

that explains it all ! now question is how to put it back all without screwing anything ? (both files to .img and .img to iso) neither 7zip or PowerISO allows it
