In that case you should try the unofficial updates for Windows 2000.

Hi. I'm glad you've found this topic interesting. If you don't mind, I'd like to know more about the above in red.
-
Maybe because they're defaulting to an HTML5 player, no? I dunno. On older browsers and Pale Moon, Flash is still default. I'm trying to remember what they retired that renders Video DownloadHelper non-functional. Google isn't helping with this one.
-
Video DownloadHelper doesn't seem to work on YouTube (on Firefox) anymore. Somebody told me it's because YouTube retired an older video system, or something along those lines.

Any news? Does Tomasz86 plan to release a new version of Unofficial Update Rollup?

Today I pulled the hard drive out of a Dell Latitude D820 running Windows XP x86, and stuck it into a Dell Latitude D630 (One model above). Surprisingly, Windows XP did not boot up on the D630. Bluescreening with 0x000007B. (both are running in IDE mode). I tried the same on a Dell Latitude D810 (One model below), and I got the same result. Whenever I attempt to move Windows installs from one computer to another, the success rate appears to be totally random. Sometimes Windows will boot up, sometimes it just bluescreens. And interestingly enough, the success rate seems to be the same with Windows XP and 7. I'd have though Windows 7 would be better. Is there any convention to this? My friend tells me that Windows 10 has survived being moved to a few different computers. I can tell you from experience that I have moved Windows XP from a Dell Inspiron 1525 to an Acer Veriton M261 with no problems. That's an Intel Core 2 Duo on the 965 chipset, to a Core 2 Duo on an SiS chipset. Not to mention the different manufacturers, and the fact that one is a laptop and the other a desktop. What gives? Has anyone else noticed similar trends? Also: How in the world does one go about making Windows boot up on different hardware without doing a repair install?

Definitely an interesting failure. Let us know if it happens again. Tomasz86 is working on a new release of Unofficial Update Rollup, so look out for that. -
There isn't supposed to be a hyperlink there, basically because I couldn't be bothered to find it at the time, but I had to later on anyways. Here is the aformentioned thread: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/158916-guide-to-installing-and-updating-windows-2000-professional/ Basically, you need: Root Certificates: http://www.mediafire...jj/rootsupd.exe Windows Update Agent: http://www.mediafire...Agent30-x86.exe And then Windows Update should work. __________ As for Unofficial Update Rollup wiping that system directory. I have no idea, sorry.

Looks like BlackWingCat has a donation link on this blog/web site: http://blog.livedoor.jp/blackwingcat/ I dunno about Tomasz86. Maybe you could ask him about that. I was hoping to donate some to both of them at some point. I know what Tomasz86 does is quite time consuming, and what BlackWingCat does can't be easy.
-
Thanks for the offer, but I'm just gonna forget about it. Tomasz86 is back working with Windows 2000. Apparently he's changed his web site around and is planning to release a new version of Unofficial Update Rollup. More info can be found in the thread linked below. http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/156521-unofficial-sp-52-for-microsoft-windows-2000/page-31#entry1102435

Info on Windows 2000 and multi-core, -thread or -CPU machines
MrMaguire replied to AnX's topic in Windows 2000/2003/NT4
This is interesting. I've had a lot of problems with Windows 2000 on dual core and multi-threaded systems. For a while I just assumed that it was Unofficial Update Rollup causing the problems. -
I'm pretty sure Java 7 Update 80 is the latest version, they don't have anything newer than 65 listed for whatever reason. http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre7-downloads-1880261.html You want the ~28MB offline Windows x86 release.
-
I don't have a Windows 2000 computer to hand right now. So all I can suggest at the moment is installing the last release of Java 7. Java 8 is crippled some way on Windows XP anyways, and that's what Unofficial Windows 2000 is basically portraying itself as.
-
Pretty much all of the good ones use a back plate of sorts, and they require that the motherboard be removed, unless your case uses a motherboard tray, or it has a cut-out at the back for accessing the heatsink back plate. The Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo is a very nice heatsink for the money, and you'll be able to reuse it on different sockets.
-
Hmm, seems like there probably is an incompatibility with Flash, maybe Java too. If you want, you can try a newer version of Unofficial Update Rollup, such as the November 30th, 2014 release. I'm not sure what the proper practice is for upgrading UUR. I just install the new version over the old version, so it replaces all the files it needs to.
-
With Java I've found that it will start the installer, then not much happens. But if you restart the installer, it will say that Java is already installed. I've not had any problems installing Flash Player. I don't even need to use the Application Compatibility launcher. Maybe a recent release is incompatible with January 3rd UUR. Who knows. Which version of VLC did you install?
-
I actually had that exact same problem with my Windows 2000, which also has Service Pack 4 integrated. I found that I had to hard shut down the computer and restart USP5.1 setup, then it finished just fine.
-
What you want to accomplish isn't really possible with Windows XP. As far as I know anyway. You can create and capture a custom .wim image and deploy it via Windows Deployment Services. But even then, without a generalised image, you're still restricted to using very similar hardware with that one particular image, and you'll have to create an image for each set of hardware. Most if not all of those highly taboo and evil .iso images on the internet are created with nLite or similar. That's probably your best option for integrating updates and drivers while still having a generalised (universal) image that will install on any hardware, though I'm not sure how and if one can integrate programmes. You may be able to have the programmes on the image and have them install automatically before Windows reaches the desktop (which I think you hinted at earlier), but I've never looked into that. If you're a Network Administrator and looking to deploy a Windows XP install to 100s of the same computer, with the same software. Nothing beats good ol' Symantec Ghost Solutions Suite.

Well obviously he doesn't accept PayPal in Europe. I wonder why?
-
I do. I even asked David Vath if I could pay using PayPal. He said that the store doesn't use PayPal. He also said that the store will have new payment methods, and PayPal won't be one of them. Strange.
-
You paid with PayPal? Because I live in Europe, David Vath gave me the details to send the money to his German bank account. Trouble is: I'm not sure if I can do that without my bank charging me a fee. Anyways, the build seems to be coming along. I like how you've got dual optical drives. That's so 2000s.

http://ark.intel.com/products/27488/Intel-Pentium-4-Processor-672-supporting-HT-Technology-2M-Cache-3_80-GHz-800-MHz-FSB Holy cow, it does support Intel VT-x. I didn't think that Pentium 4s did. Maybe you can try running some 64 bit virtual machines on this Windows 2000 build?

x4, add to cart. I'm gonna put one of those stickers on the bottom of my Windows 2000 laptop, a la Windows 95 laptops. I agree with the choice of hardware. I'm running Windows 2000 on a Dell Latitude D610, which has a 2.13GHz Pentium M, 2GB of DDR2 and a 10GB IDE hard drive (!). It's a 2005 era laptop, and I think it's a good demonstration of the perfect balance between modern capability with that old computer feel. It really does look like something from 1998/99 (Not a computer, per se) and that's all that matters to me. If the system was a generation older and had DDR instead of DDR2, then it'd be more of a hassle for me to stuff as much memory into it as it'll take. Because DDR is more expensive than DDR2. I think the later model Pentium 4 is a good choice for this project.

I wouldn't mind one of those Windows 2000 case badges either.

You can update Windows 2000 to Media Player 9. I think BlackWingCat managed to get Media Player 10 to work, and has a custom installer for it. At any rate, Windows Media Player is pretty useless for most formats. The 4 year old version of VLC that Jaclaz linked may or may not work for your needs. If you find that you're having problems with that version, you might try installing some newer versions through the Application Compatibility Launcher. But with that you may have similar issues to what I had with K-Lite Codec Pack. I'm using Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional. It views PDFs just fine, and that's all I need it to do. 1. Drivers 2. Service Pack 5.1 3. Windows Update fixes 4. Update Rollup 2 5. Unofficial Update Rollup 6. DirectX 7. WIC Then the rest in any order, but for no particular reason I would do: 8. IrfanView 9. Firefox 10. Flash player 11. Java 12. OpenOffice 13. 7zip 14. UnityWebPlayer
