Why do you use Vista? It´s known to be the worst, slowest and most buggy SO ever. If that machine can run Vista, you should
install 7, which is much better, reliable and faster than Vista.
you are heavily mistaken , reality is vista sp2 is better than windows 7

If you're still using Windows Vista (like me) and would like to play games with the XBOX One Controller, then you're pretty much out of luck.. Right? No! You can actually install the Windows 7+ XBOX One Controller driver on Windows Vista without modifying anything. You just need to extract the .MSI installer and install the driver via Device-Manager. But you don't need to do all this since i already uploaded it for you..
Have fun!
good job, really good info, thanks for sharing it with us

So here's what we know. Roytam1's builds of New Moon 28 x64 work and can use MP4 codecs out of the box. But Pale Moon 28 Beta does NOT work at all, despite Moonchild saying to the contrary.
all we can do is wait and hope that moonchild supports vista as he himself clearly knows that vista and 7 are alike and little to no work is needed to get it working if im correct.

@WinClient5270 at first he was totally against the idea of having vista supported and now hes caught saying kernel 6 is supported, lets hope he decides to help the vista users out

So where was it defined (and it was) that UXP wound NOT work under Vista? Because it seemed to create a lot of FUD.
moonchild did say vista wasnt compatible long time ago, but after he mentioned that their targetted kernel was 6 and above the questions were raised and he said "As for our support: support for features will be limited in Vista, but since it matches the minimum platform requirements there's no reason to change that on a per-application basis.
UXP applications including Basilisk and Pale Moon 28 should continue to run on Vista in the foreseeable future." as you can see for yourself if you wish to. So it should be supported probably but no one really knows what will happen.0 -

Seems Moonchild has different ideas on Pale Moon 28 support for Vista.
https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=19524
It appears now that (despite features being limited on Vista) that Pale Moon 28 WILL run. Perhaps Basilisk won't, but Pale Moon will.
Now I'd like to find a way to get MP4 codecs works on the x64 production version. :(
he says basilisk and palemoon will work in the future

I remember many years ago when Steam was new, people were concerned about the DRM angle. Well, more like livid than anything else. Much criticism bandied about over how Steam gives Valve the ultimate say over who owns the product by requiring you to run the games through their distribution platform.
Valve's announcement puts new weight to those arguments. If all you've got is an XP machine (which is the case for me, as I do not have the money or spare living space right now to build a separate, dedicated gaming PC like I've wanted) then any games you've bought on Steam will no longer be yours to play. Blizzard announced their intent to do this to XP users last year, using Battle.net updates to revoke access to games which supported XP at launch. Heroes of the Storm and Starcraft II, games which XP can run no problem, now unplayable.
Given that XP users receive a megaton of ridicule wherever they pop up, I doubt anyone outside of the XP enthusiast community is going to care enough to back us up on that. The people playing games like Return to Castle Wolfenstein, games which do not run well (or at all) on OSes newer than XP, might back us up, but I think most of them just jury rig solutions to get those games running in Windows 10 or somesuch.
There is a wiki list of games you can buy on Steam which do not actually require Steam to run, but many games will still launch the Steam app if you try to play them without Steam anyway. Still nice to know what you can still play even if Valve won't let you use Steam anymore.
I recommend e-mailing Gabe Newell and proposing this to him. He keeps his e-mail address public, and in dev commentaries from Valve games he almost always mentions it: gaben AT valvesoftware DOT com. I'm going to be writing him an e-mail myself. Sure, the chances of him seeing the e-mails are slim, much less actually acting on our behalf. However, it doesn't hurt to try. The more he hears from people who will be affected by this, the more he might be inclined to throw XP (and Vista) users a bone.
wont happen even if you email, even 150,000 people weren't enough to change valve's rules, we had a petition for cs:go in which 150k people signed it to bring a change in the trading and valve even saw it and replied its highly unlikely that the rule would be reverted, they dont really care anymore it seems

So why do you guys think iTunes continues to work? Did they just forget?
Don't ask them, they'll probably "fix" it!
maybe the number of people on xp and vista using itunes has changed their minds or their so called block didnt work

Well aside from a few things, the list has been completely restored to its original state before the server crashes. I will make a few more adjustments when I come back.
This was quite a tedious task, especially having to reenter the key abbreviation colors and download links, so much so that my hands hurt now, lol. Really hope I don't have to do this again
the last topic we were talking about was about itunes working past its expiry date i.e 25th May , can someone reconfirm on XP if it still works?

Tested Couple Of Nvidia Drivers, 372.54 , 372.60 , 372.70 , 372.90 , 373.06 all of them have a Ntamd6.0 section with devices beforehand and should install out of the box but drivers after the version 372.70 simply dont work due to lack of dll/functions present in vista as we already know. So it is suggested to install 372.70 if needed for 10X Series GFX Drivers as it is the last driver to unofficially work.

Thank you for the information, @Andreasmir! Added them to the list.
One question, do the 372.54 drivers require modification to the .INF files to work under Vista, or do they work out of the box? I've went ahead and added them to the list regardless, but I need to add that the .INF files need modification if that is indeed the case. I would test this myself but I can't at the moment.
With that said, here's the Jan. 31, 2018 SOC...
SUMMARY OF CHANGES TO THE LIST FOR JANUARY 31, 2018:
- Added Skype v7.36.0.150 as the final version for Vista in "Instant messaging/internet communication" section.
- Added NVIDIA Display Drivers version 372.54 to "NVIDIA Graphics Drivers" section.
- Added How to Survive in "Games" -> "Last official release to run on Vista" section.
- Added BeamNG.Drive, Fallout 4, and Fallout Shelter to (ONG) "Games" section.
- Removed Skype from (ONG) "Instant messaging/internet communication" section.
I will download the 372.54 and see and report back
( i do have the ones from softpedia that support vista, will still download from the official nvidia site)
EDIT : IT DOES WORK WITHOUT MODIFICATION!!! to much shock,i think it might be the only official one unless the older ones do support it aswell.1 -

Tested:
Fallout 4 - OK
Fallout Shelter - OK (XP x64 too)
BeamNG.Drive - OK

Tom Clancy's The Division - Fail (TryAcquireSRWLockExclusive could not be located in the dynamic link library Kernel32.dll)
Steep - Fail (TryAcquireSRWLockExclusive could not be located in the dynamic link library Kernel32.dll)

I looked in both webpages . They say that the drivers are for various cards , but none is fot GTX 10x0 . Is this right ?
In order not to do something wrong , could you modify the inf file for GTX 1060 ? Or it has to do with something specifically in my machine ? Because if it is the second , then I guess I will do it myself
.
upload the inf file and your tell me your gfx device id from device manager,anyone can do it for you,maybe even me if i get the chance

I can't find those ones (368.69 and 368.81) . You are talking about iCafe drivers or someone else's ? Because the next iCafe driver just before the 368.91 seems to be the 361 .
If the inf file does not have GTX 1060 should I do something in order to add it ? My question might sound stupid , but I am asking because I wonder in that case how will the system recognize a device which is not listed in the driver ?
I read a few months here in this forum , in another topic , that from some point onward , the structure of the drivers changed radically . I can't remember the old and the new name , but they said something that in order to make the driver available fro WinXP there had to be done something equally radical . Of course I wish it to happen !
And one last thing : how can I install an older version of drivers ? Just by double clicking the file like I normally do , or I must do something else ? Because up to now I have installed only drivers of later version .

http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/GRAPHICS-BOARD/NVIDIA/NVIDIA-GeForce-Graphics-Driver-36869-for-XP-64-bit.shtml
You need to add your device id into the inf file, it will use the GTX 1070 driver which is present. You can try double clicking and trying to install 368.81 it might install without any modifications, have a go at it. The Device will be used by 1070 Drivers mainly due to lack of 1060 drivers (cant confirm this for the driver 368.81). I suggest you try installing 368.81 normally and if it doesnt recognize your gfx then you might aswell consider modifying the inf (not that tough honestly)
Installing old drivers should be fine,ive done it many times for testing purposes on vista. Also These Arent icafe drivers. If you're confused how to modify the inf file just google it (you will understand faster and easier).
Also Thanks for testing this out it would confirm alot about the 10X GFX series0 -

Forgive me for asking , but I didn't understand something above : is there an "unofficial driver" for GTX 1060 ?
And by the way , I do have a GTX 1060 and WinXP . In fact I have more than one hard disks and , depending on the operating system I boot from , I use a different card (I have plugged in my motherboard two cards ; a GTX 1060 and a GTX 580) . I am not an expert on PCs , but if you want me to try something , tell me .
And one more thing : I had tried the 368.91 drivers from iCafe , but the system still could not detect the GTX 1060 card . They did got installed (although there were some messages that poped-up (I can't remember if they were error messages because it's been a while since I installed them) , but the GTX 1060 card still remained an unknown device . Although the other card (the GTX 580) does work fine with these drivers .
try the other ones? there are 368.69 and 368.81,ive modified the inf to support windows vista and they work, you could try the same and have some luck? the inf itself doesnt have GTX 1060(only 1080 and 1070). if you can try these then we can know for sure if XP would support these cards even a little.

And is there a proof that the unofficial driver completely would support GTX 1060, because I might consider buying it if so.
cant say for sure because no one here has a 1060gtx on windows xp, i think im the only one with 1060GTX on vista, go for a 970-980gtx i would highly recommend,the modded drivers will enable your gfx but will not utilize it more than 30-40%, unless you can find a way to do so im afraid,you could always try the 1060gtx and if it doesnt satisfy you, you can use windows 7+

Actually, I'm looking for Nvidia GTX 1050Ti driver.
not possible, only the early 10x series are supported,because after the driver 372.70 the full support for vista has been dropped (supports 1080 1070 and 1060 only) that too a modified driver not officially supported.
unless someone can modify it like this softpedia one its not possible, you can ofcourse try to install 1060GTX Drivers im quite sure it would work but dont expect any performance from it,you can expect some video playback and be able to play some low powered games it wont utilise your gfx like intended0 -

Why didn't you go for home premium or business? ultimate might add unneccesary stuff that might hog up a bit extra memory and processing, also you might want to get Windows 2008 Updates to be secure incase you're going to be using the internet for browsing or watching videos or anything related , although dont get the Spectre Updates if you decide to get the updates , it cuts around 25-30% cpu speed and considering you're already on 1.6ghz you wouldn't want that, It might a bit offtopic to what you asked but just a suggestion
