I might as well update this: So far, soporific's driverpacks has allowed me to install the USB 2.0 system, Lone's unofficial INF worked perfectly! I can use VEMP for Windows' video...there's no such thing as a GMA 950 driver for Windows ME. The original VEMP link has broken along with the original site I am so glad I backed up a copy. https://bearwindows.zcm.com.au/vbe9x.htm Currently testing the HDA audio driver and ethernet. It also appears the included wireless card (Atheros) has 9x friendly drivers EDIT: Windows ME suddenly broke after installing Internet Explorer 6 and DirectX9 I can confirm so far that the ethernet (broadcom), chipset (945GM), and USB system work. The VEMP video driver did not work...I did not get a chance to test the HDA audio and 2 wireless drivers did not work.

NT 4 - Bypass Ctrl + Alt + Delete?
FantasyAcquiesce replied to FantasyAcquiesce's topic in Windows 2000/2003/NT4
None taken, I brought it up anyway x_x I was hoping for an easier, more user-friendly solution of booting from a USB and modifying the NT4 registry from there TT_TT For now, I'll put NT 4 D600 testing on hold. -
NT 4 - Bypass Ctrl + Alt + Delete?
FantasyAcquiesce replied to FantasyAcquiesce's topic in Windows 2000/2003/NT4
I'm sorry to sound like a big baby, but looking at all the solutions are giving me a headache XoX Can offlinereg boot from usb?...I am so exhausted from such a simple problem being so complicated... I tried burning two different programs to my flash drive in hopes to boot from there and modify the registry...grub is oddly mistaking letters for numbers when I type -
NT 4 - Bypass Ctrl + Alt + Delete?
FantasyAcquiesce replied to FantasyAcquiesce's topic in Windows 2000/2003/NT4
Hmm, isn't there another way to indirectly modify NT 4's registry? Alternative software or perhaps a Linux pendrive to modify it? Main problems: I cannot find ERD 2003 because it's a ware and I do not know how to indirectly modify the Windows NT4 registry from a pen drive. I have access to files, but am unsure how to edit registry. -

Assuming this isn't warez, could you link me to a copy? Google isn't my friend here. -
NT 4 - Bypass Ctrl + Alt + Delete?
FantasyAcquiesce replied to FantasyAcquiesce's topic in Windows 2000/2003/NT4
Please elaborate! Windows NT is STUCK at the "Press + Alt + Delete" screen! I can't even get into Windows and modify the registry! -
I just installed NT 4 on another D600 hard drive and am now locked out because of the screen. I've tried doing ctrl + alt + delete, but it appears my laptop's keys are not working. Not even the light for number lock turns on when I press that button as well. I'm not sure what the issue is... Are there any workarounds? I would be bummed to be locked out of a perfectly good OS because of a few faulty keys. I also tried using my external keyboard with no success (although my installation is currently NT4 SP1)

This topic is archaic, but I think I'm going to give this another shot soon. I just need to set the bios to IDE mode and use my original 40gb hard drive. More information found here: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:R60 I have no hopes for getting wireless internet working (requires 9x-friendly wireless USB wifi adapter or new card), but VBEMP has previously worked for video (I could try display doctor as well). For audio, I can try this then use Lone's INF for my chipset (R60 uses a 945GM). Now, we have video (limited), audio (may turn out glitchy), and chipset. The Ethernet I have is probably a Broadcom, so I think I can easily find a 9x-friendly driver. This video driver claims to have support for Windows 95 but knowing CNET, it's probably not accurate https://download.cnet.com/VGA_Intel-GMA950_v-6-14-10-4837-zip/3000-2108_4-174197.html Looked through MSFN forums to find this that claims to support "ICH7 chipsets 945/946/975/955/31/41." Although, I have no idea if Lone's chipset drivers are superior. https://web.archive.org/web/20070726211535/http://windows98.ic.cz/chipset/intelinf.zip I haven't figured out what model the cardbus is...it could serve as a handy alternative to buying a new mini-pci card. And the USB boot-freeze issue can be resolved by enabling ACPI. Doing this on my D600 allowed USB accessories to stay plugged in during boot. If I can get this thing working, then 9x is gonna be overkill on a T7200's single cpu

My Browser Builds (Part 1)
FantasyAcquiesce replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
@roytam1Excuse me, but what are the minimal requirements for your Firefox 45 build? Can Windows SP1 run the build? Also, has anyone tested whether the codecs run in the Windows 2000-compatible or Windows 9x build? -
Searching for Windows NT 4.0 Utilities
FantasyAcquiesce replied to FantasyAcquiesce's topic in Windows 2000/2003/NT4
I tried the one I found at the link of my first post, it said hardware wasn't supported??? -
The title pretty much says it all, as usual. Is there a ram patch in existence for Windows 2000? I've found many exist for Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10, and even 95/98/98SE/ME but have found none for Windows 2000. Considering Windows 2000's cult-following, I'm surprised I have yet to find one!

Simple XP 32BIT 64Gb RAM (true Pae) Guide
FantasyAcquiesce replied to liquidLD's topic in Windows XP
Could someone re-upload the file? I have another version of this file (tested and worked on VMWare) that's only a couple kb. It's cartoonish how we have all these patches available online, but it's all scattered >_< -
I still don't know which driver I'm supposed to download from the original link... http://turkeys4me.byethost4.com/programs/ HDA Driver 9 or AC'97? Please translate into amateur computer user-friendly language. Tell me if I'm getting this right. This topic is so long and the files are all scattered 1. Download HDADRV9J.zip 2. Place HDA2.DLL in C:\WINDOWS\System 3. Make sure HDARSR.EXE and WAVEOUT.EXE are accessible (place in "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM" for convinience) 4. Place HDAICOUT.HDA in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM Notes: Originally a Windows 3.1 driver, but works in Windows 9x with tweaks The driver makes crackling sounds and needs improvement Sound is much more clear with DirectX 9.0c installed and extremely low MinFileCache/MaxFileCache settings (crackling still remains) In virtualbox, set MinTimeSlice=100 (100 !!) in SYSTEM.INI [386Enh] VirtualBox installations of Windows 3.1 CANNOT use System Acceleration, but VirtualBox 98SE REQUIRE ALL System Accerlation. Also, I am planning to install NT 4.0 on another hard drive of my Dell Latitude D600 and maybe R60 as well (probably gonna try ME on the R60 again). Perhaps I can get ME working on the R600's 945GM chipset (LoneCrusader's unofficial INF), VEMP, use this audio driver (HDA), and then figure out ethernet and wireless... Even if I don't succeed completely, it's one step closer to obtaining 9x on modern hardware9x with a Duo 2 T7200 would be great. Too bad it doesn't natively see dual cores.

I am searching for an HDA Audio Driver for Windows NT 4.0. The original name is snapaudio-winnt-1.1.2.exe, but all web archive links are DEAD! I can't access the file! Can someone help me search? I am going to use this driver on my virtual box system! EDIT: NVM, I found this http://web.archive.org/web/20070828212718/http://www.scitechsoft.com:80/ftp/snap/winnt/ Just a question since I posted: am I required to install service packs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 before I install 6? I'm trying to install an image viewer, but I keep getting messages of missing DLL's... New Question: Where can I find proper NT 4.0 software? Old versions of Ifranview and Faststone viewer only lead to errors of missing files! I am in search of good Windows NT 4.0 software. Cannot help but admire this solid OS installs and loads instantly, in contrast to its 9x-cousin. It's sad a bunch of 9x programs won't work on it, just like how 9x programs can't run NT 4.0 programs most of the time... I am looking for... An image viewer Media player or codecs (something that uses MP4) Perhaps something to add a refresh button when I right click A third-party hardware manager? Task manager Perhaps more?

I have just read the entire topic and hope to summarize it: Download HDA Driver for Windows 3.1 here http://turkeys4me.byethost4.com/programs/ Or AC'97??? Then use one of deomsh's files and place in the C:\WINDOWS directory? Please let me know! I want to try this on VirtualBox! I am also trying to document these drivers for NT 4.0 and Windows 3.1/95/98/98SE/ME systems. I've just discovered the NT 4.0-compatible one (developed by SciTech) and want to try this one as well. My goal is to properly preserve and make these things less obsolete and more user-friendly I'm aware this is a 9x-topic, but has anyone tried the NT 4.0 SciTech HDA drivers on later OSes like Windows 2000 or XP? It's absolutely entertaining to find older drivers that work on much newer operating systems. My D600, R60, Acer Nitro 5, etc are all dying to test and revive all these systems and show Microsoft we don't need 10

Installing Windows 2000 on a Thinkpad R60
FantasyAcquiesce replied to FantasyAcquiesce's topic in Windows 2000/2003/NT4
Looking back at the whole thing, my problem was because I installed the unofficial Windows 2000 SP5. It apparently broke the ability for the wireless to work. I also had other stupid moments of mine where I didn't realize the wifi switch was turned off, resulting in no wifi despite having 2000 installed. I was an utter noob at system drivers when I first tried Windows XP back in 2014. Now, I've upgraded an R60 quite a bit: gave it a T7200, 4gb of ram, and a 320gb hard drive. The thing works like a charm now. I did a ton of photo editing using paint.net with a Windows 7 installation. I had a Windows 10 installation at one point, but it broke by itself. Found myself experimenting with different operating systems for a long time. Never got ME working on this laptop model. Now the system currently functions as an XP-testing machine for software I post on my personal-ish blog to organize software a bit. I personally prefer this computer over any modern laptop with its comfortable keyboard Thanks to MSFN, I learned quite a bit: the power of internet archive, FTP search engines, searching original file names, manually installing system drivers, driverpacks, system basics, and more. Even learned a bit of psychology -
Video Capture Software for Windows 98?

That one is by far my favorite screen capture program. However, I meant a video recording program. Changed title. -

Browsing the web on 98/ME in 2019 and beyond
FantasyAcquiesce replied to Destro's topic in Windows 9x/ME
While KM can't watch youtube (I recall siria got it enabled somehow), it's far better at rendering certain pages like image sites (Pexels is a great example). Both Opera and KM can't access MEGA but only KM74 can access Yandex Disk (but the download button is broken...). Opera lacks a custom user-agent spoofer as well. If you can link me to a good font pack for Windows 9x, please do so immediately. I'm so sick of files with symbols being unable to transfer onto Windows 9x -
I find it interesting how difficult it appears to come by a proper video capturing software on the internet. I would've figured there would've been plenty during the lifespan of 9x... I've been looking for a screen recorder for Windows 9x for years, if anyone knows of one, then please inform me! Thank you!

I hope it's not too awkward for me to bump this. I am having trouble with Windows ME. I installed the required updates + unofficial service pack updates but I am still getting a message that GDI and USER requires an update! Never mind...It turned out the one provided on the site was outdated and using the 9.7 version fixed everything

Browsing the web on 98/ME in 2019 and beyond
FantasyAcquiesce replied to Destro's topic in Windows 9x/ME
Where exactly is Firefox 3.6 w/ TLS 1.2? Is it supposed to be the NT4 edition? Also, KM74 for Windows 9x works fine for me. It's a bit sluggish and clunky (javascript has to be turned off to prevent TONS of crashes) but works when set on Windows 2000 SP4 or Windows XP API. I believe I am also using the first edition roytam1 intended usable on Windows 9x. I used my physical laptop with Windows ME w/ latest kernelex 20 updates installed if that makes any difference (all down to 17 worked fine): About 50 points higher than Opera 12.02, but the trade-off is speed and stability for better rendering and native TLS 1.2. The browser had also caused my hardware to crash and reset when javascript was not disabled on sites like youtube. -

Compiling Chromium browser for XP
FantasyAcquiesce replied to Dibya's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
While I'm doubting an individual can backport XP easily, it's certainly not impossible considering Maxthon, UC Browser, Coc Coc, Slimjet, Chedot, Advanced Chrome, and a couple more. We just need to figure out how exactly they backport the newer code and what code is removed during the process. I would say building on top of Advanced Chrome for XP would be a good place to start, if anywhere. Problem is that newer versions of Chromium removed the support. Looking at here, the Google developers changed the compiler
