Saw egrabrych's post and hoped that coins would pour out the front of my machine when I ran heinoganda's updater. Dashed again. -
Running Windows 2000 on modern motherboards - USB issues
bluebolt replied to Tommy's topic in Windows 2000/2003/NT4
Definitely modified installation sources are included; this is why I referred to: The point is, in no instance is USB function achieved. Not with factory-standard / vanilla W2k Pro, nor in any known package. If anyone has information otherwise, I am wide open to it. -
Running Windows 2000 on modern motherboards - USB issues
bluebolt replied to Tommy's topic in Windows 2000/2003/NT4
re: my sound card Are you referring to the integrated audio chipset (Realtek ALC889)? As with the LAN, if you're trying to make the Gigabyte driver work, your better bet may be the Realtek website drivers. I use R.274. I notice they also have an older one (A.4.06), which I have never tried. Softpedia appears to have some earlier Realtek audio driver versions for W2k Pro that you could try: https://drivers.softpedia.com/get/SOUND-CARD/REALTEK/Realtek-HD-Audio-Codecs-Driver-222-for-2000-XP.shtml Seems you're on a roll, so...keep rolling! -
Running Windows 2000 on modern motherboards - USB issues
bluebolt replied to Tommy's topic in Windows 2000/2003/NT4
That has long been a wonder of mine, as well. Or maybe the BIOS could be modified--the ASRock motherboards I use actually have an option in the BIOS called "USB Compatibility Patch" to deal with it...but when tested its application has been unreliable (YMMV). In my case the boot-up time is no problem, and though I have read of the CPU temperature issue over the years, have never experienced it myself. -

16. Allow Microsoft Windows Update to do its thing 17. finishing up it looks like this 18. now plug in a USB stick and get USB Mass Storage and Disk Drive notifications as Microsoft Windows Update continues to automatically install the appropriate drivers Instead of "Wellsburg" (X99) your Z68 will refer to "Cougar Point". -

Running Windows 2000 on modern motherboards - USB issues
bluebolt replied to Tommy's topic in Windows 2000/2003/NT4
I wonder why you can't access the internet...are you using the driver from Realtek's website? Better by far than trying to wrestle with the Gigabyte driver. As for solving the USB problem, you don't need internet access--the drivers are already on your machine. The trouble is the default W2k Pro selections, which are wrong and must be overridden using Microsoft Windows Update in Device Manager (not online). After all the years and all the times this has come up, I'd like to go through one example of the installation procedure, which varies based on motherboard, mouse, the particular OS package and God only knows what else, but this site's not letting me post the pics (there are 18 of them). If I can load them a few (or even one) at a time, I will do so. -
Running Windows 2000 on modern motherboards - USB issues
bluebolt replied to Tommy's topic in Windows 2000/2003/NT4
On newer hardware such as your Z68, you will need to use a PS/2 keyboard to enter Device Manager and install the USB drivers manually (working drivers are already present on your machine). Start by forcing Standard Universal PCI to USB Host Controller. From there, use Windows Update to go after the yellow marks in Device Manager and install the remaining complement of USB drivers (but don't let it take you back to the original / non-working ones). As I've said before, it can be a bit of a runaround. -
Does a Windows XP x64 Unofficial Service Pack 3 Exist?
bluebolt replied to cc333's topic in Windows XP 64 Bit Edition
No luck on an integrable add-on, or even an all-in-one package that can be run after OS install. That leaves the old-fashioned way, at least until the update servers are shut down. Might be a good time to note the required updates per MU and download them manually while they are still available. -
Does a Windows XP x64 Unofficial Service Pack 3 Exist?
bluebolt replied to cc333's topic in Windows XP 64 Bit Edition
I use nLite to integrate 5eraph's Update Pack and IE8 Update Addon: https://ryanvm.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6400 Then all that remains is that last update from May, 2019 (KB4500331). -
With the decommissioning of update servers for classic operating systems supposedly near, I wonder how the creep intends to distribute premium support updates for the likes of XP/ WES / POSReady 2009 x86?

And if that doesn't do the job, then run blackwingcat's "Multi Core Limitter break Registry" available from his site.

Root Certificates and Revoked Certificates for Windows XP
bluebolt replied to heinoganda's topic in Windows XP
Same here just now; lasted about half-a-minute, before it successfully updated. -
Fourteen handshake failures here, as well, but does that matter much? I would think that "Detections: 0" would be the important thing.

I don't think we're falling behind at all. Does the vulnerability even exist if Remote Desktop is disabled in services (not to mention that it is now patched)? If this is such a "very bad sign" (as the wired.com article says), with "similarly devastating implications" to WannaCry (as it also says), I would simply remind that WannaCry turned out to be ineffective against Windows XP, contrary to early reports. https://www.theverge.com/2017/5/30/15712542/windows-xp-wannacry-protect-ransomware-blue-screen

Force "multiprocess mode" in FF 52
bluebolt replied to Mathwiz's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
Yes, it is. Without forcing "multiprocess mode" in Firefox 52 on XP: anywhere from 16 seconds to 38 seconds. Google Chrome Portable on XP: 5.51 seconds. IE 11 on Windows 7: 5.27 seconds.
