Really? I remembered hearing that Windows XP works with CSM since CSM boots in the same way as BIOS systems.
From Wikipedia:
If Windows XP doesn't work on CSM, is there any way to deploy it using the EFI files from Vista so that it works on UEFI?
Edit: Also curious as to why exactly XP would work on legacy BIOS and not CSM if CSM replicates legacy BIOS. What exactly is the difference?
Afaik , it would still not work i could be wrong though , i doubt the efi files can be used as well , although for vista and 7 a pure uefi boot can be achieved using w10 files , for xp I don't think its just possible , i don't specifically remember the inns and outs of bios/uefi so im just saying based on experience.

You cant use XP x86(not even x64) with CSM , you need Legacy booting , CSM will only work with Vista and 7

Steam verifications can be bypassed by placing a cfg near steam.exe it would seem , it would get rid of the checksum issue and stop redownloading everytime. Also used the Chromium 77 files from my Dec 2019 build and steam is still blank and steamhelper still crashes

Could you give me your current x86 extensions? I have a collection of older Steam clients, and I'd like to try them with the extensions
it doesn't work on my Dec 2019 build doubt it will be different in your case , it just wouldnt load

I found out the 32bit version of steamhelper needs shell32 functions steam needs it for chat/store thus steam wont display anything since it refuses to run , 64bit helper just crashes probably due to the 32bit one
Left is 64 right is 32bit

You can use an hex editor like HxD. Search for a sequence of bytes that goes
6A 00 6A 01 6A 06
And change the 6A 01 to 6A 00.
Ok thank you , i was using HxD but didnt find what i needed until you told

The notion of running new versions of Steam on Vista is not as clear cut as it should be; Application Verifier does not bypass the check. So I looked in steam.exe and found this:

.text:00504088 sub_503F60 endpSo you can see that it does a different thing for Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7 and Vista and even has code to detect XP and 2000.
The simplest thing to do, is to replace
push 0
push 1
push 6
with
push 0
push 0
push 6
(or just changing the push 1 to a push 0. but I like to be on the safe side, and your Vista and 7 don't share the same Steam install.)
After that, it brought me to the login window! Steam.exe is 6.1.84.48 for reference purposes.
But, that was only achieved when offline! If the file has been modified and you try launching it when online, Steam notices that the checksum has changed, tries to "update" itself and immediately replaces itself with the non-working file.
So I disconnected from the Internet when launching Steam, but reconnected right before signing in. It worked, but showing the old UI with nothing (not even library view) and the "will stop working on Vista in 0 days" banner. Why was Steam still not thinking W7? Well, steamservice.dll in the bin subfolder has the same version check! But even after changing both, nothing changed.
In fact, all of the latest Steam binaries seem to be capable of running under vanilla Vista and possibly XP, even the Chromium bits. It's just the code that sniffs out older OSes that messes stuff up it appears. And I haven't found it yet.
What software is to be used to edit this? also somehow in my case application verifier worked after a reboot , but even so crash on "ntdll.dll"

Yeah but fonts are so ugly in firefox. I use chrome on vista just because of that.
Well , extensions aren't possible to use currently on chrome , so i would suggest make do with what you have.

Maybe you should checkout Winclient's video , it doesn't work , you can use addons in firefox.

Audacity is a x86 application, so unless you have some x86 extensions, it works on normal Vista
Now that you mentioned it , you're right , 64bit version doesn't exist.

I can extract IE10 8250 from the Win8 Consumer Preview. Ive got an ISO x64
Well then extract it and/or backport/modify it like you originally intended.

I thought porting IE10 back to Vista could be my next goal. Vista‘s IE 9 has the version 9.0.8112.x
So, doesnt that mean that this IE version is ported from Windows 8 Build 8112? Because IE11 on W7 also has the version number 11.0.9600 which means it is ported back from W8.1? I looked it up and such a build really exists but cant be downloaded anywhere. However, it may be possible to port back IE10 from Build 8250 (Consumer Preview) or?
W7 has 11.0.9600 which obviously doesnt work on Vista , i had even tried IE10 from W8.0, not sure which version , the only IE10 Version that works is the IE10 Platform Preview 2 , IE10 8250 i'm not sure where one could find now.

Of course, some parts of those mfplat functions are hideously complex though. But I don't they'll beat my XP x64-based LoadLibraryExW rewrite (mostly done, but some subroutines need to be fixed up).
Is that the same thing you were working on to remove most of Vista's errors or im off the mark?

When it comes to Firefox, you are absolutely correct: ESR 52 would probably work just fine on Vista REM, certainly on SP1, and supported XP. Why would it have any need for a Windows update that was released after Vista’s EOL?
I believe you are also correct that the OP has unresolved Windows Update issues, and I wish you luck with that.
With the possible exception of @burd, I also believe I am thus far the only poster in this thread who has actually enabled TLS 1.2 on a Vista system, and I do not believe I will be posting here again.
Yup , its enabled for me , but the options to toggle them only appear in the 64bit IE9 for me , but im sure the setting still applies to the 32bit IE9(though i havent been bothered enough to test).

Great video @WinClient5270
you claimed FF 78 doesnt work in a comment thats because you need to open up firefox.exe in CFF Explorer, go into the import table, select ntdll.dll and change the entry RtlQueryPerformanceCounter to NtQueryInformationProcess , maybe you can add that in your description , credits go to @win32 ofcourse , once again.

Hi. You're much more switched on about this tham I am ! I've not got a clue how to do it. I read a peice yesterday about using regedit & it meant clicking from this to that & on to that. Not having done this before I'll have to read it 3 times before doing anything. BUT, have you got time to write a how-to for me ? I got the impression I'll have to add folders for TLS 1.1 & 1.2..........
I've copied your above mod.................and this screenshot is what my Internet Options has,
Terry.
try the 64bit internet explorer , while the 32bit one doesnt display the tls 1.2 options it will still apply , atleast in my case
