Just like POSReady 2009 updates ported to XP, I was wondering if Server 2008 updates can be ported to Vista. nboth have the same codebase, so why not?

Well that's a bummer. Glad to know that most other fixes are working fine. Guess we can live without 2 updates, or maybe our unofficial crew can help us out there.

Good thing we got this http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/171814-posready-2009-updates-ported-to-windows-xp-sp3-enu/

I had installed that Chinese patch. It works flawlessly. Don't even need to set parameters. @MagicAndre You may apply another theme of your choice if you don't like the XP one.

Welcome to MSFN. I would start by removing the extra 1GB stick from your system, and resetting those system.ini values to default. As for the audio drivers, I recommend you get the latest available nForce driver for Windows 98. I also had issues with getting sound to work well in my Windows 98 VM, but more updated drivers fixed the problem.

Its downright amazing what this, now 14 year old OS can do. I run a dualboot of WIndows 8.1 and XP. With the RAM patch installed, Windows XP can use all of my 8 gigs of RAM. I run an 8 core processor from AMD (FX-8320) and XP sure does fly on that. I can use it as an everyday OS and have not one single issue. The updates 'til 2019 fix is jsut icing on the cake. Windows XP has done the impossible, what no other OS could do. And I am 99.9% sure that you will see plenty of XP users in ever 2020. Now if only XP could support DX 11 (or perhaps the new DX 12? ), then it would be the perfect OS.

Running Windows XP Pro just fine on my 8 core rig. I don't update too much. Plus I don't notice a difference between a stock SP3 XP and a fully patched XP SP3. Same goes for 8.1. I prefer Windows XP as its a much quicker and lighter OS overall. After installing the RAM patch, I can access all 8GB RAM, it plays all the games i usually play, and does the stuff I need to. Windows 8.1 just sits there for the occasional new DX 11 title.

Installed this onto my machine and mother's laptop, hers is an Intel Celeron 1007U with HD graphics, both work just fine. My main system is an AMD FX-8320 with an AMD R7 260X GPU (gonna install a 750 Ti as radeon graphics support is mediocre). A PSA: Hibernation does not work at all with PAE. Standby only works while using certain Radeon/Intel GPUs, and all nVidia GPUs. If you can live without the above two, you're good.

Thanks for this registry hack. My XP partition is now good 'till 2019 as far as updates are concerned. And thanks for the heads up on those two broken updates, i unchecked those.

Windows XP is a great OS for SSDs provided that you disable defrag and have a TRIM and SSD optimizer program with you.

I'm really thinking that a generic audio driver should be made for Windows XP and heck even Windows 2000 while you're at it. Like the one you get in Vista+.

The thing is, this audio chip has newer vendor IDs. As such, older versions don't work.

So far I've gotten everything but the sound to work. Just this one thing - and XP on there is a go.

I installed Windows XP on an ASUS X200CA laptop for my mother. While most drivers have installed, I seem to have trouble with the Conexant HD audio driver. I tried one driver which didn't work at all. Then i tried the ASUS driver which simply BSOD'd and never loaded. So my question is, is there any way to get Conexant HD, or just use a generic HD audio driver in Windows XP? Thanks.

Thanks for all the help. I'll test all these methods in a VM.

Is it possible to mod the Intel HD haswell driver to support Vista?

Well i'm getting a GTX 970 anyway.. sick of Radeon's horrific drivers. Thanks for your efforts with Win2k BWC.

Still no replies?

And one more thing - I'm planning to install Win2k on my AMD FX-based system as well on a spare drive. Can you tell me where to get the appropriate modified drivers from?

Hello. I've been wanting to install Win2k on a secondary HDD in my machine, and I'm concerned about the support for my Radeon R7 260x gpu. Please tell me, is there any unofficial driver for the r7 260x on win2k? Thanks.

Hello. I've installed Win95 under a VM, then installed Opera 10.10, but when I went to Facebook I couldn't see the comments posted to a post. Is there a way to fix this, or a way to install a new web broswer in 95?

AMD doesn't really recommend the FX CPU throttling in the first place as its known to reduce performance.

I'm gonna install a GTX 970 into my PC as I find nVidia GPUs to be much more reliable in the long run, and I want better graphics performance. My extremely cheap gt 610 lasted me over 2 years, yet its been no less than 5 months since I'm having issues with this R7 260x. So I'm slapping in a GTX 970, and now that I have XP x64 drivers, it'll be a no-brainer. Now if only someone would come out with DX11 for XP, we'd be much happier, lol.

I currently have Windows XP x64 in a dual-boot setup with my FX-8320 8-core/8GB RAM/R7 260X custom built rig. It works extremely fast even on a 500GB SATA Mechanical, and have had no issues with drivers so far. But I did have to hunt down the Pack 3 of Catalyst to get the R7 260X working. Otherwise it was all straightforward with integrating the AMD AHCI driver with nLite, and installing the rest after XP's installed. Windows XP x64 also detects all CPU cores, RAM, and utilizes them properly. It even managed to beat Windows 7 x64 in benchmarks too.

Thanks for the heads up. This will come in use when i get my XP 64/ 7 64 dual boot up and running with a GTX 970.
