KB2963522 - The system or application freezes in a Windows Embedded POSReady 2009-based device

Same here. I'm looking for en-us version of this hotfix too (maybe ru-ru too, but not in top priority)

[Possible to get Skype 8 up and running on XP?]

Skype 7 is dead since April 02, 2019 (signing in to account using Skype 7 is impossible from this day, Skype 7 login servers are gone). But since the Skype session lasts 30 days there are still few Skype 7 working copies remain with account autologon enabled. They will work until the session expires. So (most likely) from May 02, 2019 and later, not a single working copy of Skype 7 will remain.

Last and Final patch tuesday for POSReady 2009! Today is one of the most mournful days in PC industry as we are saying goodbye to Windows XP support. We will remember Windows XP as most stable, reliable and friendly OS ever made. But we will of course continue to use Windows XP as long as possible.

[Normal mode booting OK but BSoD in safe mode]

Well, Your problem is caused by some corrupted/unsigned driver during its loading process in safe mode. There may be many options: antivirus, some third-party app which can sometimes cause problems (like Nokia PC Suite) or... I don't know how to localize the cause and alas, I have no other ideas sadly...

Registers data, maybe memory addresses in this case. Try uninstalling Your VGA drivers (Intel 965) and restoring plain VGA driver. Then try booting in Safe mode again.

[[REQUEST] WMP10 + Updates]

@Mathwiz

It is an incorrect way of getting wmfdist11.exe (and Your source is very outdated). Proper way:

1.  Download official WMP11 distribution from official source:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/0/9/5/0953E553-3BB6-44B1-8973-106F1B7E5049/wmp11-windowsxp-x86-enu.exe

2. Unpack this distribution using WinRAR 5.70 or similar archiver. You should get 26 files from it. One of these files will be the latest available wmfdist11.exe

3. Run wmfdist11.exe unpacked on step 2.

[Normal mode booting OK but BSoD in safe mode]

@luweitest

0xC0000005: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION is definitely related to system memory. Try removing RAM modules, cleaning RAM pins, re-inserting in different motherboard slots. Try replacing at least one (SO-)DIMM module if possible. Try booting the system with only one (SO-)DIMM inserted. I think the reason of this BSOD will come to light sooner or later.

P.S. And try using discrete video card instead of integrated one (where is it, BTW? Thinkpad should have one, AFAIK). I was confused with ati3duag.dll file presence. Was there a video card from ATI installed once? Perhaps this is the reason. Try removing and cleaning possible ATI leftovers from system.

[Normal mode booting OK but BSoD in safe mode]

Try running

sfc /scannow

with local Administrator privileges. But prepare in advance the installation disk or image from which the system was originally installed (under the assumption You have installed the system with SP3 already included).
