    did you load up the HDATSR.EXE file before installing/using the driver?

    Did DOS boxes work for you?

    yes, i try open 3 boxes, no problem.

    seems similar to the VBEMP bug

    if u say about garbage on screen - it can be easy solved by forcing dos boxes starting as full screen.

    Do you use HIMEMX.EXE

    if need, i use LIMEM - my onw patch for XMGR, which can provide and limit XMS to any value in range 1 MB - 4 GB.

    but for 9x i have some patches from Maestro....

    I found Z77/Z68 slightly faster than H61.

    i mean not only about h61, but all H/B/Q variants.  and there no diff in perf, other than def memory freq.

    We should always think some future proof idea. 

    lga1155  released in 2011 year.  ie 5-6 year old. what here future?

    future - its 8+ cores, nmve msata, optane, pcie4, uefi, gpt... and sure dropping all legacy x86 (16 and possible 32 bits, mbr, bios, vga, vesa) on 2019-21 years.

    myself have z68 mobo, and ib cpu. but i buy this in 2012-13, and then it was not fututre, but present...

    i talk not, that Zxx is bad.  i talk, that there no big diifs bw chisets, if u have no interest on OC.

    but IS diffs bw mobos. some costly mobo on Z have less features, tneh other low-cost mobo on H/B/Q.

    and also remember, that Q chipsets have NATIVE pci, not via asmedia bridges... for some old pci card its critical.

    The Asus P8Z68 Deluxe/Gen3 has PCIe 3.0, has USB 3.0 (including front panel), 4 usable PCIe ports (if installing a dual slot graphics card) and 4 SATAIII 6Gbps ports.  I suppose I can get away with PCIe 2.0, but I would like to have the rest.

    u want use 4 ssd? really? no? then what reason find 4 sata3 6gbit?

    want usb3? ok https://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/H67DE3/index.asp

    want pcie3? any lga1155 can give u 16 lanes pcie3 with ib cpu.

    so what reason find Z chipsets, if u not need OC?

    i can say one pros on Z mobos - they usually have radiators on cpu mosfets. this very good, if u will use this machine long time.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't consider the H61 that much of an upgrade compared to the P55 I have now.  The others are used on mATX boards (at least with Asus).

    what relations bw matx, asus, p55 and h61??? what bad with this mobo, for sample?

    In fact, I want to move over to XP 64-bit completely if the programs I use allow me to.

    good idea. i use xp x64 appox 3 year, and found no big problems, except impossibility using 16 programs (not only dos, but also win 3 based).

    also xp x64 support gpt.

    I use XP on Skylake and Kaby Lake CPUs no problem

    what? can u show screenshots it? my interesting  DM window with HDD controllers properties.

    Yes this is old news and only relevant for overclocking and heat issues

    no. i have IB undervolted, but its anyway heat to 80C on load even with good tower cooler. with simple cooler from Pentium G630 (which i use pne year before i7) 3770 just overheat to 105 C. then as 2600 nice work, all it  w/o overclock 

    sure, underclocking can solve problem, but then no reason find 3770 and Z chipset... better use 2600.

    On the other hand, I have read posts on forums stating that Ivy Bridge CPUs are running hotter than the Sandy Bridge CPUs.  Silence is an important factor for me as well.

    yes, IB and all newer CPU from intel have poor TIM inside,  vs SB which have good metallic TIM. all intel's cpu after SB relative hot under heavy load.

    Question 1: the native USB 3.0 problem aside, are there any benefits for me to still pick a Z77 motherboard?

    NO, but that z77 newer and there more chances find this in market.

    and, are u sure, that u need Z model? u can buy laso h61/b65/b75 series, if u not want overclock.

    Question 2: would the onboard graphics of the Ivy Bridge CPU (Intel HD 4000) be powerful enough to handle that, or is a discrete graphics card still required?

    yes, sure, and also 2k h264 videos, but not for h265/hdr/4k. but usually 3770[k] enough powered for software decoding all.

    also, i personally recommend find some asrock on z68 with etron usb3. i checked many versions etron drivers and found one, which has good  work in pae mode, so u can use patched xp x86 kernel and get all-in-one: xp/ahci/video/network/usb3/sound and up to 32 GB memory.

    KeyX (or WinKeyX, as will better song?) - 9x explorer hotkey extender

    I want just make simple tool for myself, not that overloaded monster as rp9. I can add more hotkeys, if u suggest, but without possibility for adding user-defined keys... For that tasks there exist many other big apps. Powerpro, for example - is nice tool!

    ===== 

    I re-upload oac in WiFi topic, but I'm not sure, that link will actual long time. File-sharing services usually del rare downloadble files.

    Very little and simplest tool, which just add some usefull (at least for me) standard hotkeys from win7 explorer to 9x/2k/xp...

    Also want ask you, what name for it utility will better select - KeyX, or WinKeyX, or some other? :D

    Already implemented hotkeys:

    Win + Up Arrow: Maximize/Restore
    Win + Down Arrow: Collapse/Restore
    Win + 1..9: Run icon at position # in Quick Launch Bar (Pinned Apps replacement)
