A huge development has happened in regards to getting Vista to work with newer AMD cards. For discussion on this and to see what has happened since last night, please take to the thread linked below. Thank you!
P.S. When this releases, Extended Kernel will need to be installed first.

i get it, you want to get your things working, but i've seen this question so many times that it looks like spam now (nothing personal)
i mean it would've been easier to buy an old laptop or use a vm if you don't want to spend money (your time is more precious than 30 bucks)Luckily, I do have an older Vista laptop (paired together with XP, 7, and 8.1) that I'm posting from right now. I just find it weird that the AMD Graphics drivers still keep in a blank section for a Windows version it does not support (the one I use has an NT6.0.amd64 section at the very bottom, but it is empty).

I added WerUnregisterRuntimeExceptionModule and got Firefox 106 running. So it should not be too long.
Any updates on getting newer graphics driver working, especially AMD Radeon/Ryzen, working? I happen to have an AMD Radeon Stoney Ridge, so I can test graphics for that. I also have a thread about this if you want to move the discussion over there.

From what I Googled, this appears to be related to error dialogs or similar.

Looks like Firefox 105 doew not work. It installs, but opening it causes it to complain about WerUnregisterRuntimeExceptionModule not being located in KERNEL32.dll. This is on July 2022 update.
I'm finally in! I had to scour around for a Firefox older than 105. I went with Firefox 101, which installs and opens as intended with no issues. Idk what version of Firefox was the first to introduce needing WerUnregisterRuntimeExceptionModule in Kernel32.dll, but I know Firefox 105 has it while Firerfox 101 does not. So for now, no Firefox 105 until @win32 can figure something out.

This is not very relevant to this topic, but one would have to fill in the gaps and add XP/2003 functions in addition to the Vista+ functions for that to work properly. Then perhaps it could work, but there are some other ways in which the kernel side differs (XP has a distinct dxgkrnl, 2000 does not, but most XP graphics drivers were successfully ported to 2000, so perhaps the dxgkrnl functionality was implemented in win32k in 2000).
I would love to see more modern drivers for later Windows ported to 2000, but I'm not getting my hopes up. The one, modern, system I bought specifically for 2k use has to use Standard Mode due to the stupid InsydeH2O BIOS and this means most drivers outside of Realtek audio (the main reason) will not work. (since this is off-topic, please contribute further at the link below if you'd like).
Windows 2000 discussion aside, I'm hoping one day the AMD Radeon R4 98E4, Stoney Ridge graphics driver will work with Vista in addition to 7, 8, 8.1, and 10 along with several others like the Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 among others (If you have Realtek audio, non-advanced mode (I2C/Serial I/O) Synaptics/Elantech and probably ALPS touchpads, and Realtek Ethernet, you are good as those still support Vista without any kernel mods provided by this or other mods. Rather than derail this thread, if you want to continue talk about AMD Graphics drivers, we can move the discussion to the other thread linked below, which does not have to pertain to just my model of AMD.

I remade athcliut.
But I don't know that you can use this app for your device :3
If you can got dump file, send it me. it may be resolve it.
Unfortunately, the adapter was put back into the laptop I am using to type this. I am, however, interested in trying to get Windows 2000 and your modded ACPI (which works on my Ivy Bridge and Haswell Dell's) to work with my Acer Aspire E1-531. @AnX himself has said multiple times (including in the following thread) that Windows 2000 will not activate ACPI with an InsydeH2O BIOS, modded ACPI or not. When I run an updated to 2010 2k ISO with your modded SATA and ACPI added in, it freezes at "Setup is starting Windows 2000". I hit F5 to activate Standard PC mode and installation goes fine, but no drivers work, not even USB, even after doing the fix. I only got VESA driver to work. I would greatly appreciate it if you or someone else could help me solve this. I did post a thread here, but no one has acknowledged it yet, leaving me not hopeful for any solutions to this longstanding problem plaguing people with InsydeH2O BIOS. Someone did mention Serial port settings could be the issue, but my BIOS has no such option due to lack of said port and I can't seem to find a modded BIOS with the Advanced options (including Serial Port) enabled.

Perhaps you should install Atheros WiFi Application because Windows 2000 does not have a native WiFi Applicaiton.
Where do I find this? The link on your website for it w2k.flxsrv.org/cgi-bin/dl.cgi?file=athcliut.exe does not work and your Windows Legacy Update website does not have it meaning I can't download it. I should note that Boingo did detect the WiFi signals when the adapter was put into an Acer TravelMate 2480, but it blue screened upon trying to connect.

Atheros AR5008 Wireless Network Adapter Driver for Win2000
How about it ? :3
Sorry for double post, but this driver installed successfully with no errors. I took the associated network adapter and put it in an Acer TravelMate 2480. That install of 2000 had no Extended Kernel or Core, but Boingo picked up the wireless networks, however, on trying to connect to one, the OS throws a driver IRQL not less or equal BSoD, maybe because of the lack of Kernel/Core? When using the driver with the adapter in its original laptop, the Aspire E1-531, it too installs fine, but Boingo does not detect the wireless networks saying "No signals available". There is no WiFi switch on this laptop. The closest thing is a button on the F3 key that is activated if I press Fn+F3, however, this does nothing unlike in XP, Vista, 7, 8.1, 10, and 11, where it turns on and off the WiFi in those OSes. This laptop does have Kernel/Core. Maybe lack of ACPI is to blame? Any help on this and my above issue greatly appreciated!

Thanks! I'll try this later. Also, I posted a new thread here but am not sure if you've seen it yet. Basically, I had to install W2K in Standard PC Mode and because of this, I cannot use your custom Sandy/Ivy Bridge graphics (I have the former and need to use VESA generic driver) and have the Windows 95-esk "It is now safe to shutdown the computer" and have to press the power button to turn off. Everyone agrees this is due to InsydeH2O BIOS not activating even your modded ACPI.sys (which works wonderfully on my Dell's with Ivy Bridge and Haswell, respectively), so if you have any solutions, please do comment in my thread linked below. It sucks because I got this laptop so I could have Realtek audio in W2K along with actual, working Intel Graphics, and hopefully internet of some kind, but the stupid BIOS is railroading me
Anywho, let's get back in topic here.
P.S. If anyone else has anything to contribute to my thread below, please do so. I'll take anything to get W2K ACPI working

Welp, I've hit an impasse with Windows 2000 on the Acer Aspire E1-531. Despite following the steps here, http://windowsenthusiasts1.epizy.com/Windows2000SandyBridge.html, using an ISO made by Win32, Windows 2000 freezes at "Setup is starting Windows 2000", forcing me to press F5 and choose Standard PC. The BIOS in this system is InsydeH2O and people in the past have had issues with this and 2000. Any way I can activate ACPI under 2000 with this BIOS? I posted also to @blackwingcat site too, BTW, SATA driver works like a charm, so no IDE Emulation mode needed. This is an ACPI issue. On the plus side, I finally have sound on a modern W2K install thanks to Realtek Audio!
@win32 Maybe you have some ideas here? ACPI is needed if I want to use BlackWingCat's custom Sandy Bridge graphics driver for W2K rather than a VESA driver. In addition, the USB 2 ports don't appear to work despite me using my steps. This appears to be related to the ACPI as following those steps on my Dell Latitude E6530, where ACPI works flawlessly, fixes them, whereas on the E1-531, they do not, meaning I either have to burn files to a DVD or go into the installed copy of XP to copy USB drive items over. I did see this may be the result of a Serial Port setting, but no such option exists in the BIOS and I can't seem to find a modded BIOS that adds a Serial Port option in.
Huge thanks in advanced for anyone who can get this figured out.

I was wondering if anyone has gotten drivers for the Qualcomm Atheros AR5B125 to work with Windows 2000. It came with such computers as the Acer Aspire E1-531. These only support Windows XP and later and don't include a 5.0 (2000) section, BUT, it does give a passing mention to 2000, like here: "Installs athwx.sys (NDIS 5/5.1 driver) on NT platforms (2000, XP and greater)". In addition, passing mentions to Windows 9x (95, 98, etc) are mentioned as well, like these: "Installs athwx.sys (NDIS 5 driver) on 9x platforms" and ";ExcludeFromSelect = \ ;for win95 and legacy support" (with the latter quote mentioning generic legacy support).
This means the device should be workable with Windows 2000, but I am not really sure how to do so. Here's what I've attempted so far (using a 2007 Acer TravelMate 2480 to temporarily host the network adapter while I await my E1-531 delivery):
1. Added in NT.5.0 and my device ID (obtained from XP) %ATHER.DeviceDesc.661711AD% = ATHER_DEV_661711AD.ndi, PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0032&SUBSYS_661711AD and blanked the 5.1 section so it is commented out (E.G. [Atheros.NT.5.1] ; Empty section, so this INF does not support NT 5.1 and later). I also edited both .sys files within CFF Explorer to swap 5.1 mentions to 5.0 mentions. This did not work.
2. Put back in the original adapter, install its drivers under XP, copy its driver ID to the Generic section of this driver, but changed it to read as: %ATHER.DeviceDesc.001C% = ATHER_DEV_001C.ndi, PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0032&SUBSYS_661711AD (This caused an Code 10) and then %ATHER.DeviceDesc.001C% = ATHER_DEV_661711AD.ndi, PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0032&SUBSYS_661711AD (The name is already in use as either a service name or service display name).
Number 2 was done to trick the driver into thinking the original AR5BXB63 was inserted, which failed. If anyone has any solutions to getting the AR5B125, please do share. Thanks in advanced for your guys' help!

Hey @pappyN4, K4Sum1 and I were wondering if you could add RTLDowncaseUnicodeChar to this: https://github.com/pappyN4/NTOSKRNL_Emu
K4Sum1 says this can be compiled to work with Vista and that if you can do it, he would be one step closer to getting newer AMD graphics driver (such as AMD Radeon R4/Stoney Ridge, etc) working with Vista.
CC: @win32, @D.Draker K4Sum1 may be on to something here. This would be huge if he got the drivers working for it and expand Vista compatibility to possibly the AMD Windows 7 EOL! Stay tuned!

I have PC with Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3 motherboard and Seagate ST3500418AS hard drive.
According Gigabyte, this motherboard is supporting by Windows 2000 (https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-P55A-UD3-rev-20/support#support-dl-driver).
But when I'm running this PC over USB with W2k (image writing on USB stick by Rufus software), I'm getting blue screen with 0x0000007B error code.
How can I resolve this issue?Slipstream the SATA drivers into the ISO, but even then, the Rufus created ISO will complain about how it cannot find the EULA. So, the only option is with good ole CD's. Windows XP works when prepared with Rufus however.

Did it work?
I'm trying to get it to work on GPD WIN, a device built on same technology as Intel Cherry Trail tablets. Its UEFI class 3 so no any mark of bios or CSM.
It does not have BIOS INIT 10H required for Win7 to start (fixed via FlashBoot PRO, UEFISeven did not work)
It also does not comply with ACPI and throws A5 error (fixed via patched acpi.sys)
With that I've been able to boot into Windows 7 Installer but USB did not work so I couldn't continue. I've done first part of installation in Windows 10 bootloader and applied driver and all the hacks above to install.wim.
But after reboot it can't load Windows throwing that 7B error at me, please help. If we could get through, it would mean that we can install Win7 on any Cherry Trail or other Win8+ tablets which would be unbelievably awesome...It still did not. I think it's because the hardware inside the Acer Aspire R3-131t is not defined in it even though vanilla Windows 8 Build 8056 works just fine whereas this driver, based on that, does not.

@Jakob99 Here is my next attempt, INFs are fixed and with all available translations that exist in Windows 8.0 RTM, whole INFs are 8.1 based. Hope it will succed now.
Just an FYI, some antiviruses such as Avast, may think this is a virus. Best to disable it temporarily when handling this file.

[WIP] Windows Vista Extended Kernel

We also have a working Vista driver for AMD Radeon's such as Stoney Ridge. The driver is not yet ready for release, however, as I am just Beta testing it for the person who developed it. You can see it in action here: http://windowsenthusiasts1.epizy.com/images/AMD2.JPG
