  1. My normal upkeep on family Windows 10 machines includes delaying updates for as long as possible.  My Windows 10 laptop is currently allowing me to defer updates for a long time.  Every time I open "Settings/Update & Security/Advanced options" it lets me select a date ever further in the future--as in over 600 years from now.

    It's not a problem, it just struck me as odd, but then I seldom use Windows 10 myself.  I'm curious if anyone else has experienced this.

    Did the "Virus signatures updated" page's signature number change?

    The "Last Updated" could still be misleading and the actual signature number be the same virus signatures from BEFORE the "update".

    The "My Bitdefender" clearly reads Could not connect to server, are you 100% sure that your virus signatures were updated?  Wouldn't these come from the same server that was unable to be connected to?

     

    Naturally the virus update version and signature numbers change with every update.  The "Could not connect to server" isn't the update server, it's for logging into your account.

    And what about this post?

    There is a picture inside:

    It says "LAST UPDATED: Today", and the date is 24.03.2023. Is it fake? :dubbio:

     

    Of course it's not fake.  I have BitDefender on several 32-bit XP machines -- works the same way on each (perfectly) and is updated daily, usually multiple times a day.

    I plugged in an old eMachines/atom that hasn't been turned on in years.  It went like this:

    Well, it's been almost 2 months, I get to install Adobe Primetime on Firefox 52 ESR but in the plugins list the message "Adobe Primetime will be installed shortly" appears continuously.
    Any ideas to activate it and remove the message?

    All of my installs behaved the same.  I can't remember the solution, but it was simple.  I think I clicked "Options" on the Primetime plugin and then clicked "Check for Updates" from the Tools dropdown.  It's possible I also turned Automatic Updates on and then back to Default, but I'm not sure about that.

    I have been with the issue on Acer x3900 (I3-530 first generation with H57 chipset) for a few days, every time I try to change to another driver version then Windows 2000 SP4 UR1v2 freezes with serious consequences. Loss of registry files or other files on the system.
    Exactly freezes when uninstalling Intel USB and also when installing Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller.

    In that case I would skip "Standard Universal PCI to USB Host Controller" and begin working through the other USB drivers instead, because the route may be different for your H57 chipset.  I know of no fixed formula for solving this, so can only suggest, in general:

    Try starting with different USB drivers from the Upgrade Device Driver Wizard list.  As you work through these attempts, along the way try to let Windows Update take over, because if Windows Update can once get a proper foothold, it should be able to complete the USB installation steps automatically.

    Unfortunately it is sort of a layered process, and the "Select a Device Driver" window has quite a few Manufacturers / Models there to try, and who knows what order will work for your H57.  Just don't let it go back to its original choice (Intel 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset Family USB Host Controller) because that is a dead end.

    Like brute force decryption, hammer on it and hammer on it and maybe it finally gives in.

    Is there any motherboard that supports intel 4th gen cpu's (Ill be using i7 4790) and has driver support for xp (most preferably xp x64). Unnoficial drivers are fine.

    I have installed XP on these motherboards using the i7-4790K CPU:

    GIGABYTE GA-Z97M-DS3H
    GIGABYTE GA-Z97-HD3

    ASRock Z97 Pro3
    ASRock Z97 Anniversary  (XP x64)

    All drivers are available for the Gigabyte boards.

    The ASRock boards come with the i218v LAN, so I installed Realtek LAN cards instead.  Subsequently, @bearwindows shared an x86 driver for the i218V LAN (which I have not tested), and also for XP x64 (which did not work for me):

    https://msfn.org/board/topic/176687-seaching-for-intel-210-219-lan-xp-2003-32-64-bit-driver/?do=findComment&comment=1162644

    So you're in business, if you can find one of those boards.

    thanks for the info, it seems that nlite 1.4.9.3 would be good to start then?

    Yes, unless you are using W2k Pro to build the OS disc, in which case use 1.4.9.1.

    ...have you ever tested the uniATA textmode driver? also, can i combine all of them in the same slipstream or will there be conflicts?

    I think uniATA is not helpful in this context.

  8. The NVMe drive now in use is an Intel Optane SSD 905P Series SSDPEL1D380GAX1.

    Other updates include an EVGA 980 Ti video card (by way of Matt's Repository) and a Silverstone SST-ECU04-E USB 3.1 card (been so long I've lost track of where I found the driver).

    There is no need to involve other OS (such as Windows 7) in the XP x64 installation, so post 1 has been edited.
