Hello, I trying to setup WinXP SP3 32bit extended desktop mode with Nvidia drivers - newest rom web, but i dont know how to setup it, or extended mode was just removed and i would need some older drivers, im using Geforce 730 Palit KalmX card. - im using DVI and miniHDMI ports. Problem is on Widows display settings - where you can select resolution is only one screen.. i can enable second one through Nvidia panel, but it has not proper extended desktop mode.. Only some horizontal span, so all behaves just like 1 monitor not great - startbar is streched, maximalize window means that is stretched to 2 not one monitor default resolution for games is not 1920x1200, but 3840x1200 etc. I can split monitors to 2 virtual monitors true Display fusion but i cant set right one as primary which im used to. True is that it didnt do this in XP for long time, it just worked in the past.. but my guess is that is something "strange" with driver and that extended desktop mode was there on anything from Windows 98+. I was ready to "suffer" with only 2 monitors, but i need them to work better. Is there solution? Can some point me to some older driver, where it is fine? If im not wrong Nvidia panel even missing couple of other settings which were already in older versions.

I guess that it will work, but if should decide between downgrade whole OS, or use one application.. i will stop to use application, unless they will fix it. So Teamviewer is dead, Anydesk is dead, is there other alternative?

No.

I already tried 5.5.3 is the same.

Ok my Anydesk version is 5.4.2, old, but it claims to be up to date, in gui, i installed some version as you but is the same. And kernel is 5.1.2600.7682, no pending updates, but true is that i installed it from some updated custom SP3 iso and used my key after that to same time, but i have same problem with other install from vanilla CD. Bot are SP3, one is english one is czech install.

I cant tell right now, it was Qemu KVM virtual machine and im no in Windows.. But i just downloaded last one from web and machine has no pending updates.. I will post details later.

I have on some machines with Anydesk this error: anydesk windows xp the procedure entry point not found located in the dynamic link library kernel32.dll Others are working..

Ok, im not expert, i never saw hore than 8 sets anywhere and i saw lots of machine, it true is than number of digits suggest up to 999, but you never know..

.Hmm, the same. I changed used Controll set back to original - 7 and its working. I only saw 1 difference before crash, when its working mouse cursor is smaller - high resolution, when its not its bigger - lesser resolution, all my instance have same resolution. I wanted to export new Control set to make some comparison.. but after i run machine again with Controll set 7.. and im opening registry Control set 9 is no gone.. Is there some max Control set 8 or something like that limit (i got some Windows update and Shutdown i have few not working updates (.Net framework 3.5), which are trying to install from time to time )? I at least once Control Set 9 was there before i was able to import second part (virtual device inside it). Now i can create Controll set 9 quickly. If there is some good tool comporate keys. BTW i dunno if there is something what should stay private, or could post keys here - now i can recreate

All from, this post:

I tried first part.. Boot no bluescreen, but on login screen i got black screen, mouse cursor and reboot. And safe mode gave me freeze too, just blinking cursor. Make sense to try add virtual devices or its just dead end? About debugging with small parts would not be more clever really try to check why installation is failing and service not running from my perspective it seems easier way, but i never did such things.

Make this sense, when its not worked even after restore whole partition with which im sure that it worked before? If i broke something, restore should fix it, or not? This again change of same machine, if problem is on network change inside machine will not help. I would understand if machine would start to send some bad packets and router would block it, but it would work after reboot to other OS? Are these packets different.

Its brutal even for such barbarian as me.. but i will try it, it would be funny Lets say that it would work what would be next steps, because i dont thing that is simply possible to transfers all settings, would be problem with already installed SW, which are using some virtual device drivers etc?

I only want know, what is idea after this operation. what to expect etc.. Otherwise it in checked event log and there is indeed nvme related error: The driver detected a controller error on \Device\RaidPort1 https://www.dropbox.com/s/fjpbqfd5p3tjud7/NVME-EventError.PNG?dl=0 Otherwise testing could be pretty fast, when its working i just install driver - one *.sys.. and right after its device ready, or i get code 10 when its not working, no restart needed.

Hmm, im starting to thing that it could be something with networking hardware, because today is simulated it again: I just removed left over old NIC from device manager, network stopped working, or fine.. tried to fix it nothing, but i recover disk image where i was working for sure.. and i tried it and its not working. In other OS is working fine, i otherwise had not networking issues. My setup is quite simple, some unmanaged switches and router / vsdl modem, all settings dynamic. Any ideas?

Thanks for info. Hmm, so they are not really something like sing of super broken system, im trying this options, if get into state, when its not working normally.. sometimes its working and its much faster that restore image. Im that Registry block above? Its all for NVME device removal or for some ControllSet cleaun up? I managed to remove that NVME driver, here is how to, yeah it was again some :*Filter" thing: - search for LowerFilters, delete the secnvmeF line only, not whole parent key - delete secnvmeF service. - delete secnvme service. - delete related INF (look inside oem*.inf) from \Windows\Inf - its probably not totally neccesary, its only solving recognition of device after reboot, but would create only create some stub device, without driver. - delete secnvme.sys and secnvmeF.sys from \Windows\System32\Drivers - uninstall device from Device Manager and restart immediately // Probably dont neccesary, because devices are added by start of services, i thing.. So now im "clean", i can debug why more promising driver is not working. BTW regarding my system, if you know some good unitility to create some system report, i will create it for sure. I though about if have something special in my system, for sure i have some games DRM systems - like Starforce, Securom etc.. + some companies USB Token drivers stuff, but by i would bet my money, on some other problem file some registry mising key permissions etc. Which driver is needing. Im will check EventLog, for some clues.

Well, i found solution how to write Grub4dos code to MBR and its "my bad way" which i prefer - 1 minute long Youtube video, it using Bootice and its working for WinXP too. Its other magic option of Bootice, which dont know yet. Its really effective and giving me that level of knowledge depth which i prefer, if would stuck on step, i can simply give deeper. It wasnt boring, it was helping and but yeah too complicated and too much strong words for my taste. Fairy tale about my random tools.. My guess is that this partittion type change happen through WinXP or Win2000 install when i had some partition hidden (to install it to as C letter), or its Acronis bug, but my guess is 1st thing, i vaguely remember that i had exactly same problem which same setup 12 years ago. This is classic problem bad user vs bad developer, i believe that problem is in not in user. If i really trying to thing your recommend way its madness, really can control / understand everything that is illusion, every program has own services, which are blackboxes, own code which black box, writing lots of keys to registry - which function is are not often clear. Random specialized tools and searching for them have flaws too, but as overall strategy it make more sense. There is couple of things which i care low level as possible, but OS as for me just tool, which supposed to work and be easily customizable and easy to use. I dunno if ever heard about ERP + TOC, but its similar strategy which im using to approach these things. I have few main goal and dont want to be lost in some minor problems analysis, if there is way around.

Ok, i fixed even not Grub way, with fixed partition type IDS bootpart worked fine, i dunno if it would really necessary, or only right boot.ini after partition id fix were necessary. Regardless of different views, thanks for help, i mean it, without point to partition type id, i wouldnt solve it., withou some reinstall that would probably change it too.

I have different view, you often glut people with lots of information which are not really needed and mislead / lure them to some complicated dead ends / wrong way or good end but through very complicated ways. Im grateful for the help, but.. It seems that whole boot sect theory was probably wrong end and problem was really one wrong IDs which lots partition tools can fix through few clicks. It seems similar with Grub4DOS boot.. i need rewrite MBR code to point to grldr, i dont thing that i need to anything with bootsector, solution should be some simple way to rewrite MBR code to point it too right binary. I made it already for FAT32 Win9x ( bootlace 0x80 command ) and DOS and same thing is needed for XP and NTFS. When i thinking about it logically, start its booting process is most essential / basic thing what every OS such do, so if its complicated its just wrong same with solutions. I love one Einstein adage: "If you can explain it simply you dont understand that" I would say, that you are understand it for sure, but problem is often transfer of that knowledge to some quick solutions for others. I would care about it, but started to mentoring me, otherwise i dont have problem just choose which hint i will use and which not, so im i need to tell people what to do..

See posts above, i dont thing that is necessary, it seems that i found right tool in my arsenal.

Some good news Grub4dos.. sidebloaded to boot.ini seems to be more clever than my other fixes and its starting Win9x fine. True is that i changed Partition type ids between (i used that with FAT32 LBA), but old ways are still not working.. but i have to create that bootsec with right ids and we will now.

Ok i found working Partition Manager with Win2000 and not SSE2 CPUs, which i was given licence in the past. Partition id was NTFS, question was to use FAT32 or FAT32 LBA? https://www.dropbox.com/s/ltls648f2gihvmg/PartitionID.png?dl=0 MakeBS is not working with Vmware virtual machine with one big NTFS partition - 200 GB or so, not this physical one - here this thing is untested so far.

I read thats, but it expected that if disk managment show it right, that it would be right. This too low level how to check it and how to fix it?

It seems that bootpart is lying patitions are FAT32: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rqb1ibfnytjtw9l/PIII-DiskMap.png?dl=0

Lots of info, i tried patch for quick victory, in victor.. but im not sure that right one. I need to replace in MBR NTLDR for GRLDR. So i tried: Press any key to continue . . . C:\> C:\>MAKEBS C:\GRLDR /w A file named BackupBS.ori already exists on drive C:, though it's contents are DIFFERENT from current bootsector. Are you sure you want to overwrite it? [Please enter YES in capital letters to confirm]YES ... Current bootsector of drive C:\ backed up to C:\BackupBS.ori ... ... ... ... ... Current bootsector appears to be NTFS ... ... New bootsector C:\grldr.bs created succesfully .... C:\> Its creating some botsec files, but i dont thing so that it replace MBR code, or at least still NTLDR is started after reboot, not GRLDR. I need this: I just need to start GRLDR after machine boot and from it has possiblity to start NTLRD - which is not possible with method 2, or i dunno how. Yeah i had problem with menu.*st name in the past, that way im just coping it, grub.cfg is better idea. Before i tried it though that its much newer version of grub, this one from 2009, do for thing i need its enough. Bootpart - well i copied syntax from guide, i created bootsec file so i excepted that is working, im trying to question everything, i will recheck it. You are right bootpart output are showing all NTFS partions, first 2 should be FAT32 for sure, i have to check it. I didnt notice that. True is that i had some issue in the past with disk imaging this parition layout is for reason problematic (im making whole disk image) with R-Drive Image it recreate only some partitions and now i tried Acronis all partitions where created - but again, i never checked if there are actually using right filesystems - i they have right labels (which include FS names)..
