  1. Think I have a better solution now, I got a 4 pack of Nvidia 330 1gb cards from ebay last week and they work great with 2000!
  2. I wasn't trying to get you to do all of the work, I wasn't even sure how to find hardware ID's. After I looked up how to find them, I thought taking screenshots of the information would be a good way to document things for anyone who wanted to check it out and it would also be a good way to make sure I didn't misstype the data. Edit: Don't worry about it-I'll just use another os with this one, sorry for the trouble.
  3. Ok, got into the device manager and took screens of all the data
  4. Last year I picked up a used Dell Inspiron 3847 computer from a thrift store, tested it out with win 7 and it worked fine. This weekend while fiddling around with 2000 on another tower, I decided to dust this one off and see if I could install Windows XP home even though it's rated for Win 7 and above. After messing around in the bios (setting 'legacy boot' and sata to 'ata' settings) I was able to successfully install XP. I tried the drivers off the dell site, but only the realtek sound driver works. The processor is an i3-4130 cpu at 3.40 ghz. Would anyone know where I could get an XP compatible chipset driver and lan driver if that is possible?
  5. That's the one I tried, maybe it's just my system but it doesn't like VLC so I'm just going to avoid extended core for now.
  6. Did some searching and found the latest extended core, tried installing it and got the same lockups when trying to use VLC, I'm just going to reinstall, install the latest extended kernel and leave extended core out of it-I have a radeon 3450 512mb card I know I can use with BWC's drivers.
  7. Well before I give up, I'd like to give extended core another try-can anyone give me a link to the one that works best with extended kernel with minimal problems?
  8. Darn, I've got a 1gb Geforce 210 that works fine, but I was hoping for something more powerful. No, not sure which one to use-last time I tried (with windows 2000 + HFSLIP slipstreamed and the current extended kernel) I had weird stuff happen like VLC media player freezing things up when I tried to play a video.
  9. I got my hands on a 2gb HD 6450 graphics card today and have tried some of Blackwingcat's drivers with no success so far. Can this card be used for Win2k or will I have to downgrade to XP for this one?
  10. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9K6hpsAOM_E This doesn't bode well!
  11. I put in a xp disk to try to replicate the error, but it's loaded up and installing as we speak! This version is a fan mix with sp3 and a number of additional updates already slip streamed into it, so that appears to have jumped the installation hurdle so far. Will post any problems with it if there are any once it is installed.
  12. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhOvYgpA6Qs Not liking the looks of this, if this trend doesn't stop-I might just jump back to an older version of windows for my daily driver!
  13. I have an old HP Pavilion dv7 laptop, the model is dv7-1127cl. In past installations, it will take Linux/Windows 7/Vista 32 and 64 bit. However when I've attempted a windows xp install I get the BSOD every time, is XP too old, or is there a trick I'm missing? Thanks for any clues!
  14. Sounds like using the NoScript addon is a more reliable way of protection!
  15. Watched this video recently: What do you guys think?
  16. Excellent! GZdoom is fixed now! Tried it out with doom2, ultimate doom, heretic-works great! GZDoom 11 will work with Vista!
  17. Looked up and got my hands on CFF Explorer, but have no clue where to find the string you mentioned-looks like a pretty powerful tool though once I figure it out!
  18. Have a new issue today trying to run the current version of GZDoom, anyone know what this is?
  19. I've used the video editor Openshot in linux and have found it to be easy to use. I know there are versions for current Windows, but was there ever one for 64bit vista? I'm not using the extended kernel, just vanilla Ultimate edition.
  20. My error, but it's soon enough-I prefer older games you could install with a disk rather than a net based service that tries to force you to update to the latest Windows Malware! Btw, is it just me or is Vista the best looking of the modern windows Os's? Even win 7 Areo didn't strike me as being as well polished!
  21. Just tried that, had to go into Safe Mode to get it to work. There wasn't a C:\Program Files (x86)\AMD\ATI.ACE\Core-Static folder, but I created one and put the required files in. So far so good, no error messages and my games and VLC player work fine! Thanks!
  22. Hello everyone, it's been a while since I used Vista-but recently after Steam dropped support for windows 7, I decided to do the right thing and delete my account and just get a couple of games that I liked the most off Gog games so I wouldn't be forced to upgrade to the latest garbage! Since the older games I liked will run fine on Vista 64 bit-I decided to dust off my old Ultimate Vista disk and give it a go. After updating everything, I did the editing trick to enable me to use the 15.6 beta radeon driver which works well with my 4gb 350 card. So far so good, however I get this error from time to time when I start to play a game or use some video related utility-I hit ok and am able to go from there-but is there a fix for this and is it related to my video driver or something else?
  23. Is there a windows 2000 driver for a HP Envy 5530? I'm mainly just wanting to be able to use it's scanner on windows 2000.
  24. Got my hands recently on a dell pc that is windows 10 compatible for my parents. They are wanting me to install the windows 10 disk it came with and tweak it to minimize unneeded apps, telemetry etc. What are some basic steps I can do to make this happen and is there a Classic Shell type of program to make the interface more like xp/7? I see a lot of different posts on these issues, but I thought I'd ask to see what steps are the most effective.
  25. I'd love to know too, I would love to be able to use my 1030 on Vista, doesn't have to be the latest driver-just one that works and gives me an Nvidia control panel.
