speaking of KB3023607, that specific patch breaks Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client sofware. KB3023607 is only offered at WU/MU right now (and not through MS download center) and there's a fix for this "broken" patch mentioned in MS KB article 3023607. Do NOT install the KB3023607 update on machines that have Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client application installed!

herbalist, it's the same for any version of Windows XP, including Home edition. my brother and I bought the Windows XP Home Edition RTM upgrade CD that came in a product box back in early 2003 and online activation still works, even past the April 8, 2014 support cut-off date.

Actually the very last version of Google Chrome to work on Intel Pentium 3s / AMD Athlon XP-K7 Semprons is version 34.0.1847.137. I'm using this version of Chrome 34 on an old XP SP3 computer (Intel Celeron 1.1Ghz with 512Mb of RAM) Chrome 35 and above require Intel Pentium 4 with SSE2 & AMD K8 (X2) CPUs or better.

any good reason why you want to use IE7 instead of IE8, ND22?

Links to version 2.58 (final) of the 98 gold / first edition service pack released August 2012: full version (55Mb) lite version (30Mb) I may produce a 3.0 release sometime in 2015 after my family & I move to a new house in early 2015.

effective 12/31/2014, this service pack has been retired as in end-of-life / end-of-support. From this point on I will focus my efforts in continuing the unofficial win98 1st edition SP with a 3.0 release coming sometime in 2015 or later.

That hotfix is still included, even in the latest Realtek HD Audio driver package (R2.74) for Windows 2000/XP. If you're computer uses Realtek HD Audio, there's no need for the KB888111 hotfix; just install the Realtek high definition audio drivers and they will work on XP SP3. Read this little quote from Microsoft KB article 888111: In short, just install the required HD Audio drivers from your PC manufacturer (Conexant, ADI/Soundmax, Sigmatel/IDT, Realtek or VIA) and not worry about KB888111.

actually the KB888111 fix is partially included in XP SP3. Only the hdaudbus.sys (HD Audio Bus Controller) file is there BUT the all important hdaudio.sys (generic HD Audio driver) file is not there in SP3. No there is no XP SP3 KB88811, because it's integrated in XP SP3 already.Do NOT download XP SP3 KB88811. Install the audio driver. only the hdaudbus.sys file from KB888111 was integrated in XP SP3 but not the hdaudio.sys file, cdob. I know this because I have a full WinXP SP3 CD that didn't have the full HDA in the SP3 driver database. And I even downloaded the full XP SP3 network install package and only the hdaudbus.sys file was there [yup, blame Microsoft for only including hdaudbus.sys and not hdaudio.sys in SP3]. There is a way to install KB888111 on SP3 but do so at your own risk. And even if an XP user does succeed in installing KB888111 on SP3, one still has to install the proper HD audio driver afterwards (like Realtek, Sigmatel/IDT, ADI/Soundmax, Conexant or VIA). XP users using Realtek HD audio should just install those drivers directly and not bother installing KB888111. The old & new Realtek HD audio driver packages for XP should install correctly, even on XP SP3.

hey Den & vipejc. I managed to get both of those AMD CPUs SDA3300DKV4E (got that one from Amazon.com this past summer) and AXDA3200DKV4E (got this one from CPUMedics.com). The AMD Sempron 3300+ CPU was recognized by the BIOS for the Foxconn/Winfast K7S741MG motherboard but Windows did not correctly identify the Sempron CPU in Device Manager, I had to remove the CPU in Device Manager and reboot twice to force Windows PnP feature to detect the Sempron CPU. The AMD Sempron 3300+ 2.2Ghz CPU ran fine on my custom built computer, however, this CPU ran a little hotter than the Sempron 3000+ 2.0Ghz that I had before. Fortunately, this Cooler Master CPU fan (spinning between 5113 to 5243 RPM), along with putting Arctic MX-4 carbon-based thermal compound between the cpu & the heatsink kept the Sempron 3300+ CPU cool enough. I ordered the AMD Athlon XP AXDA3200DKV4E CPU for a friend but the motherboard in his computer (a PC Chips M863g mobo) couldn't quite handle it at the correct speed. Since both SDA3300DKV4E & AXDA3200DKV4E CPUs have FSBs of 400Mhz, they will run slower than their designed speed if used in his PC (the M863g mobo can only handle CPUs with FSB speed of 333Mhz) but they run fine on the Foxconn K7S741MG mobo in my computer (which handles CPUs with FSB speeds of either 333Mhz or 400Mhz). I may get the AMD Athlon XP 3200+ 2.33Ghz AXDA3200DKV4D for my friend someday - UpgradeBay.com seems to have it sometimes but it's not cheap.

KB2919355 is an update only for Windows 8.1 & Windows Server 2012 R2 and does not apply to any other version of Windows. The KB2993651 patches are good (at least the Vista/Win7/Win8.1 versions as those haven't messed up my Windows computers) and replaces the faulty KB2982791 patches which have caused BSODs at startup on some machines.

I also prefer Windows Vista as long as it's at least SP1 level (SP2 highly recommended). the original/RTM release of Vista was pretty buggy when my mom got a Dell Inspiron laptop with pre-installed Vista home basic edition in June 2007. some of the serious problems of Vista were fixed in SP1 and then in SP2. folks, avoid using Vista at RTM level. update to Vista SP1 or Vista SP2.

bookie32, you need the Swedish IE9 language pack if you want to use Internet Explorer 9 in Swedish language. Go to the linked text and download & install the IE9-Windows6.0-LanguagePack-x86-sve.msu file for IE9. and the version of Vista you have installed must also have the Swedish language pack installed for Vista as well. see this Softpedia page on Vista SP2 MUI language packs; one of them includes the Swedish pack.

The latest versions of SumatraPDF are wonderful and they even load faster than the latest version of Foxit Reader and Adobe Reader. btw, Firefox has a built-in PDF viewer starting with Firefox 19.

what is the model number of the Advent notebook computer?

more add-ons in the full edition (ex. DirectX, WMI, etc.) than in the lite edition.

this download has been restored on the Microsoft web site as I've recently checked myself. the MS download link and download info page both work again. MS KB article 273826 mentions about IPv6 PR for Win2000.

hi PROBLEMCHYLD. how about adding ATL80.DLL version 8.0.50727.6229 dated 11/15/2011 from KB2716441 of MS12-070 to the 98se service pack? it's contained in a large security update for SQL Server 2012. I'm glad the MSVCRT40.DLL file was reverted back to the Win9x compatible versions since version 3.8 of your 98se SP. Version 5.1.2600.5512 of msvcrt40.dll also broke Win98se's MS System Information Tool (msinfo32.exe), telling me to upgrade Windows version as I've tested myself when I installed 98se SP v3.7. Removed 98se SP v3.7 and installed the newest version of the SP and v4.22.0.0 of MSVCRT40.DLL made 98se's msinfo32.exe program run correctly again.

many of the files from KB2643995 are included in the MS12-070 KB2716441 security update for SQL Server 2012. also, Microsoft support KB article 2607389 no longer exists - they've must have removed the page but the actual 2607389 hotfix is still available from MS.

although that might have been an overreaction by some who think MS will end Vista support that soon. Microsoft is still providing new security patches for Vista until April 2017 as long as Vista users have SP2 installed on their machines.

attached is vcache.vxd version 4.00.1112 dated Oct. 7, 2012 for Win95 OSR2.x (experimental) copy to Windows\system\vmm32\ folder do NOT use on pre-osr2 versions of Win95 (original and SP1 version A) as it will not work on those versions. vcache-95sr2.zip

cool. i needed this for an old Win2k machine using Office XP. a big single 130Mb download of Office XP patches. neat.

which is what happened to NT4 SP7 and Win2000 SP5. those SPs were cancelled and update rollup packs were released in their places. I'm pretty sure SP2 for Win7 won't get cancelled. it's just that it'll take a while for that one to be available.

hi blackwingcat. see the following picture below: this is a WinXP version of the shell32.dll file with exFAT support if KB955704 or any subsequent shell32.dll update after that is installed [i viewed the contents of the DLL file in Notepad; hence "e x F A T" is highlighted]. can you try to add exFAT support into shell32.dll for your KernelEx project for Win2000?

It may be partially true but they did remove some older files like the IPv6 stack and several other very old updates for Win2k. I seem to have found the IPv6 download for Win2k here, which still works on my end.

unfortunately, that is not possible as the exFAT drivers from KB955704 didn't work on my Win2000 SP4 + UR1 (update rollup 1) machine as I've recently tested myself with an 8Gb exFAT formatted USB flash drive. exfat.sys driver loaded on w2k but can't recognize my exFAT formatted USB flash drive as win2000 explorer tells me the flash drive is not formatted. thus the exfat drivers from KB955704 won't work on anything older than XP. only hope for exfat support on win2k & older is a 3rd party driver of some sort. EDIT: I found out that the exfat.sys and uexfat.dll files are useless without an exFAT-ready shell32.dll file. see attached picture below: this is a WinXP shell32.dll file with exFAT support. until exFAT support is implemented into the shell32.dll library file for Win2k, the exFAT SYS and DLL files won't do any good.
