they both get the same updates. you only ever needed one of them to begin with.

i se thank you very much, I remeber dencorso made a thread dedicated to that, but it's not stikyed. We should make a sticky guide for it.

Does newer java still not install on XP, and u have to install that old one, then copy the files and what not? Reason i am asking is becasue I did that before and it worked fine but I have been out of the loop for ahwile as I dont really use java. I have 1 program that runs on java that i rarely use/

EULAs can be grey sometimes, especially in the case where you bought and paid and own your license for your copy of the game.

I find sumatra PDF to be superior to adobe reader in 2018. Especially over old versions of reader. Before I found out about sumatra a couple years ago I was using Foxit which I also found to be better.

We have a similar thread called XP spotter, where members can post pics of XP running in the wild. But.. I thought it would be fun to make a new thread where people can show off their own NT 5.1 and 5.2 systems running in the wild Purpose of this thread is just to create some more community involvement. XP running in VMware unity Mode on 2003 X64 Bit.

If you really want to get X99 platform running on XP64bit here are the step I would take. This is a lot of work. (btw to save you a lot of trouble id take dencorsos advice) PS.. sabertooth is not fully working it is 95% working i beleive minus the intel Nic drivers as he is using only the realtec part. Find a board you like, and downloard its motherboard manual or find a detailed spec sheet of all the components that are on it. The for each individual component you search the web and see if it is possible to find a driver for that component that will install on XP or Xp-64 bit. Once you hit a brickwall with doing that then look for other boards that have X99 chipset but more generic components that have better driver support across older platforms. I can tell you off the top of my head that Fatality board wont work very well becasue I looked at the hardware on it. Atleast the Killer stuff probably doesn't run adn neither does the intel nic.

my bad i didn't mean to seem rude. It's just dencorso said it better, its a huge undertaking to get that operating system running on that board. beleive it is possible I just had the hint that you didn't try it, and that is kinda a no starter in asking here for help in trouble shooting it when you don't have it to begin with or up and running halfway. I am old also probably older than your dad.

edited post above. when i say what have you done or tried i mean have you got XP running on the mobo and tried to get it working or did you expect somone would be able to have your same mobo and have figured out how to get xp to run on it and hand you drivers?

what have you done or tried? Obvisouly you would need to get windows XP running on the motherboard in the first place. Have you done that? Ya he extracted the infinstaller files and found the infs for his chipset and other devices and probabably hacked a line in some of the drivers so it would install on that platform. Did you try any of those drivers. Make a list of the hardware on your mother board. Nic, sound, usb, etc. your other hardware is differn't than his so besides the chipset drivers everything esle is going to be differn't and you would need to get windows XP running on the motherboard in the first place. so you can start trying to get drivers to run. and install. no body else can do this but you. chances are the number of other people on this forum who have XP 64 running on your same motherboard is zero.

The thing is you cant kill auto update sevice if you want to go to the MU site and scan, it will report an error that automatic updates are not turned on. then u will have to go and turn the service on. If its off. All going to the site is doing is forcing wuauclt.exe /detectnow..... and instead windows updates scanning in the backgroud you are just getting a UI that shows a bar that is scanning. It's just stupid the way that it works. So that is all I am saying is you do not need a user interface to simply run a command %windir%\system32\wuauclt.exe /detectnow it all is the same thing.

maybe the way i do things is just different but I don't have to do TLS, I just go to ctrl panel and set automatic updates to notify me but dont download or install. and that always works. The only time i have problems with windows updates on XP is when I installed Office hotfixes. auto updates don't use TLS. then again i use addon in nlite to update windows installs.

vt6212,VT6202, there is other chips tho besides that one that VIA made that work on 98 and osr2.1

thanks Roytam1 u da best, works great!

only way probs is to make the server 2008 x64 version work. might be work, but i do not have the experience or expertise to do that. Plus i don't have a 2008 box so I can observe its installation procedure. that being said I am not so sure that IE version has any relevance to it working, and it just comes down to registry values in the end, unless u use IE.

Possibly 2003 server X86. Maybe after I make a good backup of my 2003 64bit, I'll try. But I do not use skype or chrome on that system. Infact I do not even have IE 8 installed on that system I have IE6 locked down, and unusable. Roytam1s browsers are so good I cannot think of any logical or sane reason to use chrome 49

Just wanted to say I just installed Xp64bit on one of my computers and I am not experiencing and SSL errors or any errors. Like in this thread. So its not a problem with XP64bit. BTW I use latest 64bit builds of newmoon and basalisk. I have no clue how to reproduce the problems in this thread.

Think he means hal.dll is missing or corupted (bluescreen). I think that its a hardware malfunction or a driver issue. Could also be bad memory/ Hal means hardware extraction layer Thats the only time I ever see that error. sometimes if i have a corrupted CD when I am installing windows ill get Hal errors but its generally not the blue screen type. Anyways Roffen thats a hard problem to fix without being able to diagnose it my self and recreate it myself in person I cannt really say. But I don't think you would be able to fix that. Only thing you could really do is try to reinstall windows if it was a big problem on that computer and try to find stable drivers. Thats a massive headache for you too probs.

there are XP drivers for the Intel HD3000, do they work on that laptop if you installed XP? Any reason in particular to run 2000 instead of XP. Good chance if it runs on 2000 it will run on XP.

can we even talk about that here. ya on another forum.

looks great especially for laptops.

Ya basically as long as roytam1 is putting out browsers that are extending the life of XP it will be usable after that its dead. Basically its all roytam1 lol

The OS has nothing to do with browsing the web securely, that is the job of the browser you are using. Unless you are using internet explorer which is integrated into the Operating system. Your best bet is to use a prgram like Sandboxie and then sanbox your webbrowser inside a sandbox so it has no integration with the operating system at all. Then any other security problems are on the user yourself. That means if you download something and run it like an id*** than that is your fault not the operating systems,
