Found a universal audio driver that supposedly works with WDM. I could try this on my computer or Thinkpad R60 http://www.asio4all.org/ kX Drivers (might be 2000/XP only): https://web.archive.org/web/20121023121439/http://kxproject.lugosoft.com/ Edit: Neither work Another potential audio driver https://drp.su/en/laptops/intel/baytrail-platform?os=windows-xp-x86

I tried re-enable ACPI using instructions from here https://www.win-raid.com/t4035f45-Windows-XP-SP-bit-and-modern-PC-parts-64.html#msg81927 Your new acpi.sys did not prevent the computer (Bay Trail) from having a BSoD after re-enabling.

Excuse me, is it possible to install the ACPI.sys file on a Windows XP installation? I'm hoping to do this without reinstalling XP. I tried installing it via hardware manager (standard pc) with no success! Am I supposed to install it another way?

Turns out I used the incorrect Windows XP SATA driver the first time I installed this and I certainly didn't need to disable acpi either (or even replace it). Just use the "Universal 32bit Intel RST textmode driver v11.2.0.1006" https://www.win-raid.com/t22f45-Guide-Integration-of-Intels-AHCI-RAID-drivers-into-a-Windows-XP-W-k-W-k-CD.html Integrate SATA driver with nLite. Use WinSetupFromUSB to create a bootable iso Make sure the computer itself is in legacy boot to allow a boot from USB Before Windows XP's setup gets far, press f5 and change to "Standard PC," failing to do so will result in a BSoD. Done the right way this time. The toilet roll strikes back! ^o^ The chipset and sata driver are no problem, but I have yet to figure out how to force the pc from a "Standard PC" to an ACPI one. I obtained a custom acpi.sys which apparently fixes issues with XP systems. The video, audio, and network driver are problematic. It seems I can't find an XP driver anywhere! One option for the video driver is the universal NT series driver...but it doesn't support hardware acceleration. The audio driver I tried from dell failed...and I can't find an XP network driver anywhere T_T Blackwingcat's link is also broken

So does installing this framework even work with applications? If not, that negates the point of installing it...

I'll do that soon. It appears that Avant browser probably has a rollback for an XP-specific version of Chromium and Vista uses the 7+ version, maybe. It would explain why Windows XP did not give a single error message but Vista had an endless, hysterical cycle that required ending the process tree.

Has anyone tried Avant browser on Windows Vista? I just installed it on XP. It launches but does not load anything; it's completely blank besides the window. The options are viewable but pages do not load. Avant browser uses Chrome 74.0.3729.131 and Firefox 66.0.5.7070. If these two are included within the browser automatically and do not require a manual installation like Lunascape, that's kinda impressive. EDIT: Oddly, WIndows XP does not give an error, but Vista does. "webkit.exe - Entry Point Not Found" appears. The program then stops responding on Vista.

Yikes...thanks for the heads-up. I used the Chinese web browser with a caution before but dang...

QQ Browser uses Chromium 70 :3 Now we need to figure out how to find or compile an offline installer in case the company discontinues this version.

The PC was on AHCI mode; the Thinkpad R60 only provides two options in the BIOS: "ACHI" and "Compatibility." Thank you for the clarification of limited high drive speeds. It makes sense why the system was kinda unstable.

I just realized...I'm having Windows ME boot without a third party AHCI driver I didn't even change the settings in BIOS to legacy mode. The device manager of source mentions the missing SATA driver, but...how is this even possible?

Now I'm trying to get Bengali TTS to work with Windows https://github.com/Bangla-Language-Processing/Katha-Bangla-TTS https://sourceforge.net/projects/tts-indianlang/files/Bengali_tts_windows/ I've tried both of these voices to no avail. The first Bengali voice installs successfully on Windows 10 (meant for 9x apparently), BUT does not work. I've tried copying and pasting Bengla text into balabolka but the speech does not synthesize. Either voice recognizes bengali

Hmmm... In general, Chinese web browsers are rather annoying; extra file associations and extra nagging to set as default.

slipstream.bat prompts me for a directory. Which one is the correct one??? Typing C:\Windows does not work. The message only repeats!

Will BabelMap fix an issue within 9x because of characters seen invalid in the system?

Excuse me, are we supposed to extract the files to the Windows or System (I can't recall which contains i386) directory then run the .bat file?

If you're intending to install the latest version of Chromium on Windows 9x, then you're out of luck. Chromium never supported 9x and only extremely early versions would run on Windows 2000 SP4 w/ Rollup 1 (also required a OS-spoofer)! BUT, it could be possible to install a very early version of Chrome on Windows 98/ME. According to this topic, you will need... PROBLEMCHYLD's Unofficial Windows 98 service pack (main system updates for 98) Windows ME unofficial service pack (main system updates if using ME) Blackwingcat's Chrome Tool KernelEx 4.5.2 An offline Chrome installer (perhaps a version earlier than 8.0) You will need to update Windows 98 or ME with the unofficial service pack, then reboot and install KernelEx, reboot again and attempt to use Blackwingcat's chrome tool. Be sure to set compatibility mode to W2K or later! I cannot guarantee this will work, but feel free to try!

Now I'm trying to find an obscure TTS program called Kolfix. It's a freeware Hebrew TTS voice program that comes with a male and female voice! If anyone can help me with this please say anything!

I will try that and these games eventually: Mall Tycoon III, The House of the Dead 3, Oregon Trail 2. Maybe not soon though, just put the XP hard drive back and don't wanna have to transfer again. It's a bit of a hassle for the 40gb drive because there's no tab to pull out.

You did what you could and provided swift support. Thank you

Sure, after I fix the audio driver. Please suggest a program! I was thinking maybe getting out an old copy of the Typing of the Dead So far, I think the Vcache fix works haven't had another runtime error. I'm going to try installing DirectX now to see if that will help the audio driver. Also, is anyone capable of modifying wireless drivers like PROBLEMCHYLD? He managed to modify a Broadcom wireless card to work on Windows 9x. The card would previously install but gave errors that did not allow it to work. That's the case with my current wireless driver for 9x. I'm pretty sure it can be modded to work. http://wireless-drivers.blogspot.com/2011/10/atheros-ar5bxb6-ar5424-mini-pci-e.html After looking at my audio hardware ID, I'm starting to wonder if HDA will work for it or not... https://members.driverguide.com/driver/device.php?hwid=PCI\VEN_8086%26DEV_27D8%26SUBSYS_201017AA%26REV_02 HDAcfg.ini HDALOG.TXT

Windows ME system shows "999.9MB" of RAM with the setting you told me to use. My D600 has 1gb physical ram. On an unrelated note, I keep getting a Runtime 20 error that causes Windows ME to crash and reset...not sure how to fix it

No audio is coming out of the speakers HDAcfg.ini HDA.txt

Thanks for being patient with me man My bad The driver is now recognized as an option but no sound yet The problem is that the two files are not appearing setting the entry in system.ini and placing the HDA2.DLL in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM HDALOG.TXT HDAcfg.ini
