Back. The computer works more swift with Windows 8.1 than Windows 10, but I am having one issue: my earphones don't have their own volume. I will check if any other sound drivers are available and update.

I'm in a similar position as you. Unfortunately, I couldn't even get a modified Windows 7 w/ an updated ACPI.sys, USB 3.0 drivers, and various components to work on Bay Trail. But, given your device is based off of an Ivy Bridge, there may be hope. Your best bet is to try SDI Origin or any driverpack. Feel free to share the hardware IDs of your device- sometimes, you could find a driver for said device. I've personally given my AIO Dell Inspiron Windows 8.1 for the time-being. Linux was sluggish on the device.

Thank you! It turns out DeathBringer's modified INF + drivers did the trick here. I had to disable driver signature enforcement and thing works like a charm on my Dell Inspiron 3670. ^o^

Hello MSFN, I possess a Dell Inspiron 3670 with an i3-8100 CPU, but am having one last issue with this desktop: a display driver. My hardware is entirely supported and my resolution is good, but I am stuck with the generic Microsoft driver for display. Is there a Windows 8.1 driver in existence or would attempting to spoof the OS version make any difference? If not, is there a good generic universal driver that could take the place of this driver? I do not need the desktop for heavy 3D activities- just basic streaming and word processing. Thank you for your time.

Ah, thank you for the clarification- I must've missed it.

Apparently, Firefox (a build from 7 months ago, as seen in this video's post date) works on Windows Vista when spoofed as Windows 7: Anyone got a clue which version this is and a program to ensure spoofing of Windows Vista's version? Vista version build 6002 was used.

Do these drivers support 3D acceleration by chance?

Hello MSFN, I recently ordered 2 different IDE to USB adapters, and I am wondering if anyone has any luck with these. I got a powdered inateck brand and a generic adapter. At first, it seemed the hard drives would show up but it began to stop. The inateck one only read the IDE drive after a while if it was forced into a certain position with the hard drive physically. I should also mention the 2 IDE hard drives tested with the devices have somewhat crooked pins. I'm not sure if that alone is the culprit because I tested another non-crooked drive on the devices without success. Is this just plain bad luck on my part or has anyone else been having bad luck with these adapters?

Hello MSFN, I have a laptop, an Acer Nitro 5. This laptop came with a GTX 1050 but stablediffusion does not find a compatible GPU with the program. I find this quite irritating because almost 1000 USD was spent to obtain this device a few years back. If there are any known workarounds or suggestions, please discuss! Thank you!

Yes. I am hoping to make my old Windows ME laptop useful Applications like PhotoMix are what I am searching for.

Nothing in particular. I am just hoping to put digital art in a presentable matter

Hello, To this very day, I am frustrated with what little freeware and open source options exist for simply inputting multiple images and putting them in a nice arrange and/or background. Collages software has existed for decades now and I am just hoping to find one for use on etsy. I am hoping for anything. Thank you for your time.

The title says it all. Do any good ones for low-end PCs exist out there? My Windows 2000, XP, Vista, and 7 PCs aren't going to die for a very long time and could use some repurposing.

Is there a program I can use to force rename or delete files that are too long on Windows XP? It's a bit annoying I have to bypass the waste bin to force delete.

Yes, there is a version of Microsoft Anna for Windows XP but I'm pretty sure it does not restore TTS on stripped-down installations.

Hello, My Windows XP computers are incapable of using TTS with components removed. I tried to install SAPI5 but it did not restore the ability to use TTS. I really need text-to-speech for purposes of reading documents and files aloud. How can I restore TTS to modded Windows XP? It would be a plus if I could also do this on modded Windows Vista and later.

It seems balabolka for WIndows XP has dropped support with the latest version from April 13, 2023. InitializeCriticalSectionEx could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll...

Minecraft Java does not appear to install on my Windows 8.1 computer?

I got a copy of the 111 builds, but never got a chance to grab the 112 build before it was removed.

Has anyone tried this app on Windows Vista? Vista holds the needed framework: https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/downloads/ Does ClipStudio paint happen to work by chance? It would be nice if I could get that working on Vista along with the M10K 2018 driver. Vista in general loves to run a lot of Windows 7+ software and drivers.

Hmmm, I thought I saw a post containing a backported Chromium 111 for Windows Vista/7/8.1 here? I've been searching the forum but cannot find it. Were my eyes playing with me?

A mention that perhaps paying attention to SlimJet, Midori, and Qupzilla might be a good idea. The third party vendors may or may not backport the later chrome editions.

Hello Royam1, I was informed of this open source version of Chromium still compatible with Windows XP/Vista and I thought it may interest you. https://github.com/weolar/miniblink49 This launched on my Windows Vista computer but crashed when I had it go onto websites like MSFN and Youtube.

Has anyone tried Maxthon 6 or 7? Their site said Windows 7 or later only. I do not have a Vista machine on me at the moment.

Realistically, we're just going to have to do the following: Stick with Windows XP/Vista/7/8.1 on low-end hardware If Chromium or modern web browsers become unusable, simply dual-boot a Linux distro like ZorinOS (I personally use Mint Linux) Purchase an SSD on a higher-end PC and install Windows 10/11 Strip-down Windows 10 and customize it If you gotta, replace its system shell and explorer with a third party one. The majority of Windows 10's built-in components (image viewer, media player, etc.) are bloated and inefficient. Windows 10 LTSC IoT versions will actually be supported until 2032 at minimum (according to wikipedia), so I think there's a bit of relief for all of us At this point, I personally prefer 10 over 11. Windows 10 at least does not get rid of the Windows UX we love it for. I smell a potential lawsuit towards Microsoft for abandoning Windows 10. They've literally made computers from the past 15 years unusable and are adding onto electronic waste. Even our archaic Windows 98 computers can still be made useful in 2023 if given a right Linux OS.
