  1. Yeah, but description is really misleading, there is this text for NetXtream at the top : BCM5700, BCM5701, BCM5702, BCM5703, BCM5704, BCM5705, BCM5714, BCM5715, BCM5718, BCM5721, BCM5722, BCM5723, BCM5751, BCM5752, BCM5753, BCM5754, BCM5755, BCM5756, BCM5761, BCM5764, BCM5780, BCM5782, BCM5786, BCM5787, BCM5788, BCM5789, BCM57760, BCM57761, BCM5762, BCM57765, BCM5901, BCM5906) so its wrongly guesting that it works in all OSes mentioned under it, there is not list per OS.. so its at least misleading and i even checked inf, but there is not classic list with names of devices.. As i wrote 5703 in NT4 too - NetExtreme I line, at least with different drivers. Maybe even 5721 PCI-E is even working in Win9x.. but in WIn9x / Win 2000 you can use USB lan / USB wifi adapters when you got into problems.. in NT4 probably not.
  2. My memory is not working well, but im like 95% sure that i already tried these.. Soggies drivers - they failed more than once for me, it could be about skill, but i doubt it.. Because you can download lots of drivers which claims that support HW X,Y,Z and some old OS, but nobody tested them and they worked worked, its very easy edit inf and add some new option.. There are also drivers which simply claim NT suppport na never is mentioned lowest supported OS, so in theory they should work on NT, WIn2000.. but they never do, its often because some MS driver kit helper version, which rely on specific OS features..
  3. Well Uniprocessor means Uniprocesor means not more multicore usage, or its still fine for multicore cpus? I have now 2 cpus in this machine. For me another PCI and PCI-X cards are working fine, even this one is half working, it just not keeps working after reboot.. It would probably need some HEX ASM magician to find out why.. Or find some old thread where someone fixed it, or find another card, which has good NT4/Win9x/Win2000/WinXP/Win7 driver and working with SBEMU in MS-DOS.
  4. Well it was at least discussed..
  5. I fixed it. I did multiple changes, so its not clear what actually helped, but better to try 3 things that zillion and maybe some combination of these things is needed. I reinstalled DirectX, but Dxdiag still not should any compatible version after reboot, so this probably did not helped. I disabled ExcludeFromSelect=* line, to be able select device through loading list of devices dialog.. so i was able to install 13.xx Black wing cat driver / Maybe 13.xx are better than 12.xx I increased max memory for my card from 512 to 1024 - probably this was main problem. Its working fine with PAE switch, i but im running only on 8 GB of 16 GB, because of Advanced server license limit, if was unable to find some PAE patch compatible with Win2000, there are some universal patches which claims Win2000 support, but during installation it fails on some missing API call. Now i can play Crysis on Windows 2000, they is patch for Windows 2000, even patch for Crysis demo.. Windows 2000 is limiter for my machine - R7750 + Ivy Bridge Core i5 .. but with this its working great quad boot 32 bit all with PAE - 3k / XP / Vista / Win 7 + Mx Linux better internet surfing and Steam games through Proton Wine. Yeah for Nvidia Black Wing Cat patches up to Geforce 960 or 980, these are much faster, so i did not tested them.. My Radeon 7750 is nice with passive cooling 50W TDP total silent.. Yeah there is KalmX Geforce 750, im not sure if there even was such Geforce 950.
  6. I have tried Radeon 7750, but its the same. I have tried export and import Direct 3D registry keys from WIndows XP, but its not that easy.. Dxdiag: DXdiag from XP: VDD - is empty, but DDI is found with 9. Memory is listed as 1024 and DirectDraw and Direct3D Accelerations are enabled.. When i try Unigine Heaven DirectX9 on Win 2000.. Im getting this message: D3D9APPWindows:: create_context(); required multisample is not supported. Engine::video::restart(); cant set 640x360 windowed mode I really dunno how to debug this, it seems that for some reason driver loading not loading Direct3D at all, or try and fail during driver initialization or registry keys with card features are not properly set in registry.. I never was able to fix this other way than reinstall some "better" driver, but this one is already only 1 unofficial one Inf problems: To not visible devices in the driver list - i suspect this ExcludeFromSelect=* - parameter, for some reason its used,if im not wrong it means that detected devices are actually hidden from the list.. that is strange decision when there is not classic *.exe installer and its installed through *.inf files. Im staring to understand more and more .Inf files structure, but defined the whole Direct 3D environment seems to be too many variable, not enough knowledge problem. I found some 4 years old reddit post, which is claiming that Radeon 7750 is running fine, in his machine but i dunno with which drivers and if Direct3D is really working. This sort of classic ATI problem in reverse, usually Direct3D is fine and OpenGL is broken / messing.. Especially with Windows NT / 2000.. or simply OpenGL implementation is buggy. In Dxdiag its clear that these are wrong: DDI - Device Driver Interface - max directX available is not detected. Used BlackWingsCat - 12.xx driver inf file, - i have tried to compare it with last drivers from ATI, but again there is quite a lot of variables: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/jd727zhvfzvhv1vg6arqc/CX137814.inf?rlkey=rmt7b35yb0i56wt6wngndtwet&dl=1 Maybe this could be problem my cards are 1 GB, if this is in MB: MaximumDeviceMemoryConfiguration=512 and for my card seems to be this branch of .inf file is used: ati2mtag_R575, for Radeon 7350, it was ati2mtag_Evergreen.
  7. Im trying to make some Radeons HD working. I made Radeon 3470 working fine with Black Wing cat 12.xx and last extended kernel , but i have trouble with Radeon 7350, i installed 12.xx drivers again OpenGL - Quake 3 and Unigine Heaven are running, but not DirectDraw Acceleration or Direct 3D, there is no Direct3D device present, same with DxDiag, probably problem with some registry Direct 3D device HAL definition. I have also some problem with Windows 2000 drivers in overall, for some reason when i load some drivers file i see just white area without entries where drivers should be.. and its different error than not compatible drivers where found, in that case i get popup with same error message. It seems that some drivers database or parsing is broken So i cant use Display compatible devices dialog and i can only use Search driver, point to folder and inf and let driver to be autodected, but i can force specific driver. There is also problem with Catalyst Center, old ATI installers have some standalone installer for it, but newer version have it embedded within drivers installer i failed to extract it from it. I also find out that some newer Catalyst center had less options than older version - so far im using Catalyst reporting this version 1.2.2314.20337 -from 2006, i dont remember which version its in ATI numbering.
  8. Ok i found that there is message at the bottom: Your files, apps and settings cant be kept because you are installing an edition of Windows that is different than the one youre currently using. Problem is that i dont understand why, what is so special on my edition? I have WIndows 7 SP1 64 bit activated, updated.. i had PRO edition, use Anywhere update to push it to Ultimate edition, but i still see this message. I dont think that problem is language version, because we i use difference language edition message is different and post to language. I used WIndows 10 media creation tool, which i hoped would be clever enough to created the right version to upgrade, i also tried to donwload some WIndows 10 iso files from the internet, or MS side by using Blueberry client trick but i still have this problem I there any tool to get more info about installed OS version than Winver, or why its not compatible? Update: I found out that strictly PRO iso 1607 is working, but not newer.. some universal iso or consumer iso, simply does not working. 1703 info still have Pro 64bit version, which is working too, but later consumers iso are not working.. I wonder do i need business version of iso to upgrade? Right after install i got some update install update option, it took 2 hours but 1803 was installed and after i could update to 22h2 using classic Windows 10 upgrade procedure. I found some ISO archive here: https://files.rg-adguard.net/version/f0bd8307-d897-ef77-dbd6-216fefbe94c5 its generating iso by downloading, but for some reason business edition script is failing. Update2: // I didnt test business version, because my windows are already upgraded, but its worth of try
  9. Hi, i a bit confused what is exactly kmdf 1.15, are they ready to work with Windows 7, or its work in the progress?
  10. Hi, im trying to upgrade upgrade Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit on my laptop on GPT disk, but even i run installer upgrade option with keeping installed programs is not available, only keep files,. Im running upgrade from running OS. I read that problem could be with languages, i checked registry there is InstallLanguage key - 0409 - which should be US english, so i tried US english and Internal English ISO, no luck. There is also some key cooled previousInstalled language which has value 0405 (czech), im not really sure if originaly installed OS in Czech, or it was upgraded from Czech Vista, I have tried to change value from 0405 to 0409, but no luck.. So i tired Czech Windows 10 ISO again no luck. Maybe i need to delete that Previous install key. I also installed other WIndows 7 OS on same disk which i want to keep and clean Windows 10, they also Linux partition and some Dell support parttions - backup, i hope that are not conflicts.
  11. Hi, im looking for Windows 2000 driver for Intel 82579LM Gigabit . I have found Blackwing cat drivers, but not made them working.. http://blog.livedoor.jp/blackwingcat/archives/1881426.html Drivers installs fine, but there is code 31 - This device is not working properly Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. unable to initialize device, in other OSes its working fine.
  12. Hi, i slowly trying to get away from 1 Gbit networking, becuase it was too long from 1 Gbit age and 100-120 MB/s transfer speed is slower than speed of modern SSDs, even moder HDD can do 200-250 MB/s 6 /8 TB or bigger probably even more. So i bough some cheap 5 Gbit card with Realtek chip - RTL8126 , i expected problems - no existing drivers with Window XP, but i was suprised that i cant find even Windows 7 driver, especially 32 bit. I downloded drivers, from realtek site https://www.realtek.com/Download/List?cate_id=584 thre are listed XP / Win 7 / Win 10 / Win 11 drivers, but when you actually check inf files for Windows 7 there is max 2.5 Gbit chip listed - RTL8125, i have tried to install to install 2.5 Gbit driver in WIndows 7 but driver its installed without exclamation mark in Device manager, but NIC is unable to negotiate network connection. So question are there such official or unofficial drivers? Yes i how there cards with Intel Chip (520/540) - even 10 Gbit, but they need long PCI-E slots.. I did not tried to place them to short slot, maybe they will work there at slower speed.. they are PCI-E v2 - if im not wrong.. so 512 MB/s max, yeah that is still better than 120 MB/s.
  13. I found out that there is problem with MS-Dart 10, i believe its update installer, it always report that some update was uninstalled, but when i run it again all updates are still there I tried DIsm++ from boot cd, but it fails for uinstalling too and it claim that some updates are not removable Ok i found out how to enable to uninstalling through DISM++ and Dart, there some SessionsPending values in Registry: https://varidan.com.au/how-to-fix-the-dreaded-windows-error-0x800f082f/ But only some update, these marked as permanent in DISM++ still is not possible to remove, when DART priniting that they were sucessfully removed
  14. I wonder is there any tool, which can check and fix Windows 10 registry for not booting installation? Same about component store, if im not wrong dism and sfc, are doing it, their finish fine - no error or errors fixed, but i still get stuck on boot 21a bluescreen. There is also quite a lot of dism tool, but not have enough knowledge which one could help with this booting problem.
