This honestly sounds perfect for those old 915 and 945 chipset machines Now, they can be repurposed into semi-functional 9x machines. The unofficial chipset driver by lone and Windows 3.1 HDA driver maybe hit-and-miss, but now there's a chance. ^O^

Hello, I've tried to install Minecraft with an unofficial launcher and multiple versions of java (21 and later) without any success. In my case, Minecraft hangs after downloading. The launcher freezes upon accessing Japanese fonts, it claims. Has anyone tried running the game on Windows 7 in 2025 with an Intel HD 4000? My OpenGL version is too old.

Where can I find this driver?

Okay, Where can I find USB 3 drivers for Windows Vista? Windows 7 and even XP gets love for this matter, but I cannot find a comprehensive source for Vista.

This is NOT an HDA driver. Cirrus Logic requires its own driver.

The title says it all. I acquired a 3rd gen intel AIO PC and thought I could use Windows XP on it. Unfortunately, the only driver missing is the audio driver. If there is any way to get a working sound driver, I'd be so happy. The only driver I could find is for Windows 8.

Does anyone know a good modern PDF editor for Windows XP? Even on Windows 7, I cannot stand adobe acrobat- it's so bloated and slow.

Using a 2.2.1 backport. It's not working. :thinking:

Okay, is there a modded version of this browser?

Seeking a video driver. Turns out this model requires a modified ACPI to install properly? Other integrations did not work regardless of SATA driver and often froze. I just need to find a working Windows XP driver for NVIDIA GT 230, yet it doesn't seem to work and the display settings states the driver was meant for an earlier version of Windows? Strange. Hopefully GeForce Release 185 for Notebooks 185.81 works...it didn't... EDIT: 285.58 installed. It seems NVIDIA removed it from later packages. However...I'm stuck at a lower resolution opposed to 1080... EDIT: This may not be worth the hassle. Had to use powerstrip to give XP the proper 1080 resolution. Attempting to find chipset drivers for this thing only causes issues. Something is also causing the device manager to constantly break.

Looks like this will be worth a shot with Windows 7 systems on hardware that lacks EUFI 2.0 compatibility.

I just pray a new company will overtake Windows at this point. There's nothing good or stable about Windows. Everything good about Windows is stuck on older versions. Whatever happened to efficiency? Windows 10 and later is nothing more than a trainwreck covered in a bit of glitter. There is literally nothing new or innovative. You can get all the same tasks done even on Windows 98.

I simply cannot stand Windows 11. What is there besides third party games that I can't do on even Windows XP? I remember back when Windows XP had an addition for legacy 9x PCs. Windows 8.1 functioned on even Pentium 4's. What happened to MS? Horrible UI, slow, bloated, buggy, lack of notable new features, why bother? I'm using Linux if I have to get a new PC.

It's been a while, but I should mention that bluetooth 1.1 and 2.0 dongles are a perfect direct workaround. I copied text files from my smartphone to Windows ME laptop without a problem. Now, if only Windows 95 had anything newer than bluetooth 1.1 xD

But, doesn't this sys driver file require these APIs? If not, someone needs to experiment and see if adding the Windows ME code to the INF file will change anything. If we're lucky, it could work. The oldest driver dates from 2004. The broadcom driver is known to hold fewer if no dependencies exclusive to the NT kernel. I have asked the AI, and a video driver is more coupled to the kernel opposed to a simpler wireless card. There is still a chance of the driver itself written with a driverbase of early WDM, but 9x still lacks a ton of these fundamental functions without equivalents. In theory, it could work if we tweak the INF then install on a physical machine but the odds of this working are like using a bunch of candles to make deep fried chicken. Even worse, if throwing Windows 2000/XP and ReactOS DLLs on 9x somehow stubbed all the needed functions, I'd be doing the equivalent of using an easy bake oven for a wedding cake.
