  1. If I install the modded Radeon 9000 Omega drivers, I am given an option to display screen resolutions beyond the norm. Problem is none of them will scale to the screen. But thank you all for this wonderful advice! I believe laptop will probably display a higher resolution if I hooked up a VGA cable to a monitor.
  2. Hello! Today, I am wondering how I can force my old Dell Latitude D600 to display a resolution larger than 1024x768. The standard options won't offer this of course, but does it mean it's not possible? I really love the keyboard of the older laptop models and hope to use that with a good screen resolution. I recall using an application a couple years back on a Thinkpad R60 laptop to force a higher screen resolution, but then everything won't fit on the screen. Is it possible to have a larger resolution completely fit on my laptop's screen? I am aware that doing this is not very good for performance, but I am hoping to go beyond the regular screen resolution. Thank you for your time.
  3. I require help with using the Chrome tool for Windows 2000. I am currently using the tool on a Windows 2000 SP4 installation. I installed blackwingcat's kernelex, but I'm not sure if installing it even made a difference to my system. The version didn't have any difference. Back to the Chrome tool, I am getting errors that certain dll's are not properly installing: Shell32, Kernel32, Advapi32, User32, Ws2_32, wtsapi32, dnsapi, and iphlpapi. These issues will not allow SRWare 30 launch. What is the problem here? Am I missing any steps?
  4. Thank you for informing me! Where can I find the main differences between your palemoon 27 and 28 builds? I've tried both to find 28 superior in HTML rendering and streaming; 27 can't stream video even if I place the codecs in the folder.
  5. This is a very late question: has anyone tested whether the codec files work with the Windows 2000-compatible builds?
  6. Are all system drivers installed? If not, it may cause problems.
  7. That's the point. I don't have an XP installation on me at the moment, so that's why I asked of other users could test those because they were Vista-minimal.
  8. Excuse me, I already did [test over 15 separate browsers] and found the only browsers that worked were either the Chinese ones I've tested before. I did find a Russian Chromium 49 browser that fixed codec issues Is it too much to ask if certain browsers can be tested for me when I don't have time?😂 Also, thanks for the tip.
  9. Could someone with NETFramework 4 test these: Pampa Browser (claims to support XP and Vista) FireSky (Claims to have Vista support) My Windows Vista installation won't install Framework 4 and it's FRUSTRATING.
  10. Yikes! Thank you for informing me of this! The site gave information of being based off Chromium 70 and did not provide info of a different version on XP!
  11. If anyone has spare time, I found a GOLD MINE of web browsers! I've never even heard of HALF the browsers on this list! http://browserss.ru/vse_brauzery.html
  12. Hello MSFN, As usual, I'm on another software search. Is there a per-volume sound replacement for Windows XP available? While using Windows XP, some applications don't have an option to adjust their volume and it can be a bit annoying. One of the few features I miss from newer Windows is control over each application's volume along with a native screen brightness utility. Thank you for your time.
  13. Is it possible for someone to test these extremely obscure browsers? https://sourceforge.net/projects/lawlietfox/ https://cliqz.com/en/download
  14. Does anyone know whether flash player 11 works natively on Windows 2000? SDFox's archive: https://www.computing.net/answers/windows-2000/installing-flash-11-on-windows-2000-no-hacks-required/66322.html A hack required: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1012569
  15. Hello, I'm wondering if there's an all-in-one update pack for Windows Vista (SP1 + SP2 + Platform Update + Supplement Update? + Frameworks + DirectX) If not, I was thinking maybe I could compile one myself (assuming the files are re-distributable). In theory, would it be difficult to simply compress the files into a smaller size, then find some program that will give an option list like PROBLEMCHYLD's unofficial Windows 98SE service pack, and have it automatically install from there? Windows Vista's lack of popularity makes it harder to find patches... https://msfn.org/board/topic/175262-last-versions-of-software-for-windows-vista-and-windows-server-2008/#comments https://msfn.org/board/topic/179810-download-links-for-all-vista-sp2-32-bit-and-64-bit-updates-from-windows-update/
  16. Sorry to yet again bump this old topic... I'm wondering if someone could re-upload the 20mb file listed here. As usual, download links seem to die overtime on MSFN. I have a hold of the Chinese 64gb ram patch that's only a couple kilobytes, but I'm wondering if this one has any differences. Thank you!
  17. Windows Vista is literally the in between of Windows XP and 7; there are more modern features at the cost of less native backwards compatibility and higher system requirements. A couple examples are... -DirectX: Windows XP only supports 9 (unofficially a buggy 10), Vista officially supports 11. If your system needs newer things, use Vista over XP. -Web browsers: Windows Vista has a tendency to work with unsupported web browsers meant with 7 a bit more than XP. Although not much in practice. Qutebrowser is a notable example of working on Windows Vista 64-bit but not XP (forget which version, latest version doesn't seem to work...but I didn't install all Vista updates) There are a couple more conveniences Vista has that XP doesn't: -Built-in screen brightness adjuster -Sound mixer for individual programs Another random example of Vista working w/ Win 7 or later stuff that XP cannot do: -Resident Evil Remake works on Vista -Newer versions of Netframework work fine on Vista with some modifications Would I choose Vista over XP? Only if Windows XP is not stable with system drivers. Windows Vista has a tendency to more or less work with newer drivers than XP because its kernel is more similar to modern windows. I would advise Vista, if your system isn't super low-end.
  18. A small list of working web browsers onto Windows XP: 360Chrome 360 Secure Browser Sogou Web Browser Baidu Spark Browser (Chromium 44) Coc Coc UC Browser Maxthon Nano Browser Lunascape QQ Browser (Tencent) Untested: Puffin Browser Redcore Navar's Korean Browser (can't find an offline installer; discontinued) Windows XP is well alive in 2019
  19. This is such an odd pc. Windows 7 will install on my Dell Inspiron, BUT will reset upon booting (never gets past boot screen). Afterwards, I'm sent back to the menu whether I want to start Windows 7 normally or in safe mode... What could the problem be?
  20. Windows XP works nearly perfectly! Is there a way I can fix annoying rendering errors and momentary lag? For example, when I switch tabs, a bunch of glitched squares of the previous window/tab appear until the page has a second to load be interacted with. Textures can be missing for a moment... I might try upgrading to Vista or 7 and see if that fixes anything. Being stuck on DirectX 9 is a bit of a drag when playing PCSX2.
  21. It still can despite that. Unlike Windows 10, XP will actually keep itself dimmed when hibernating and won't turn back on randomly.
  22. Woo-hoo! My 23-q127c works perfectly with Windows XP, thanks to Damnation's custom mods! But I still have one tiny question.. Windows XP over Windows 10 any day!!! Will the lack of ACPI driver here potentially cause damages to the pc overtime? Just double checking! It's really odd my 2013 haswell computer (Dell) can't run Windows XP, but my 2015 (HP) one can...
  23. So far, I can confirm Damnation's custom ACPI.sys allows me to progress further in my 2015 desktop but not my 2013 one. I can only install XP on my 2015 desktop, then boot will give me BSoD. It's further progress than my 2013 desktop.
  24. Yikes, this program doesn't appear too user-friendly. Maybe it's just my eyes at 12AM being overwhelmed by the amount of instructions. I'll try looking at a youtube tutorial tomorrow and attempt this. Thank you for your time. Edit: I can also conform that the installations I made are not faulty. Ironically, my HP Pavilion 23-q127c will install just fine using the same usb installation...my AIO (Inspiron 20 3043) that refused to boot was a Haswell I believe. Ironically, my 23-q127c is about two years newer yet installs ACPI just fine...hmmm... https://imgur.com/a/mqOGj0e Perhaps I'll dual-boot Windows 10/7/xp on my other desktop. Edit 2: Okay, it installed on my other desktop then gave me the BSoD error...it claims it's not ACPI compliant...unlike the Dell Inspiron, my main desktop installed XP without a problem...hmmm I gotta use my laptop for now until I repair this. Edit 3: Okay, it seems the modified ACPI.sys allowed Windows XP to install on my 23-q127c, but does not prevent ACPI BSoD upon boot. A stock Windows XP w/ SATA/ACHI drivers won't even give me the option to format the disk or install. I might try using Windows 7 and see if that changes anything.
  25. Windows XP setup was already done and integrated drivers through nlite, then I simply extracted all Windows XP files in their own folder. After that, I simply enter the i386 folder and replace the acpi.sy_ file. Afterwards, I use WinSetupFromUSB 1.8. Using Rufus and others never worked.
