RIP best boad ever. I guess this is permanent? if so I'm so sad. Someone please back to board up on waybackmachine pls.

not by much, mini login should be used as a component of a tiny xp that includes explorer shell swaping and gutting the OS. Mini login on it own does nothing but speed up boot times and slightly reduce memory footprint of winwogin., but it also replaces the normal login behavior so things like sharing files is borked. A good shell replacement is this thing. Desktop Lite Thing. It's a very rare file that you cannot get anymore. Only works on XP. It is a minimal explorer replacement. desktoplitethingy_v1.0.1.zip

I have the solution. I figured out how to fix it. This only solves the problem with XP and office 2003 With the 2007 compatibility pack. causing SVChost to redline to 100% for hours. This does not fix other installs. There is an Actual update order. I know it sounds totally ridiculous but its true. The problem is not the 2007 compatibility pack. It is the compatibility pack SP3. 1. Install clean Office with clean SP3. I haven't tested Hotfix integration into the source. 2. Run windows update and only install the office 2003 updates/ Alternatively if you have a 100% accurate list you could do it manually. 3. Now install Fileformatconverters.exe 4. Install Office 2007 compatibility pack SP3. 5. Uninstall Office Compatibility pack sp3. ( just the SP3 don't uninstall the compatibility pack.) SP3 should be below the compatibility pack when you view all updates.)**The converter pack listed above it will disappear but it's really not gone*** 6. Run windows update and install the updates for just the compatibility pack. 7. Download kb3127894, kb3203438, kb3191897 8. Install Office converter pack 2007 SP3. 9. Manually apply the 3 patches in step 7. 10. Run windows update and reapply the some of the patches patches you installed in step 4. It's not all.

Jaklaz< i can reproduce it, and I can follow my own instructions, so I'm not fixing it. Fileformatconverters is the name of the office 2007 compatibility pack.

I was able to delete windows installer 4.5 files and and replace them with a 3.1 installer files and add the DLL from 3.1 that is supposed to fix the redline svchost issue, Re registered them and was able to download updates, and install them still , I don't have office 2003 installed but I am gonna install office 2003 on my fully patched vm with compatibility packs and try to patch it and see if I run into issues. I'll let you know. I am curious about. Microsoft update forced me to install msiexec.exe 4.5 MSI.dll 4.5 and msihnd.dll 4.5, however it did not replace the other 2 files that I replaced msisip.dll 3.1 and msimsg.dll 3.1.

Can you try to manually apply this DLL? rename to MSI.DLL I think it has something to do with windows installer 4.5 and Office/MS updates. Like that it doesn't include this fix. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/927891/you-receive-an-access-violation-error-and-the-system-may-appear-to-bec That hotfix replaces this one. maybe the fix is to downgrade MSI installer to a deprecated version. Maybe the reason that we all have this problem is because we all used the same update packs that included installer 4.5 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/916089 http://www.mediafire.com/file/a7zd9a0478r6baj/WindowsXP-KB927891.7z Last thing try to unreg the msi installer and instal 3.1 instead https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-update/how-to-uninstall-updated-via-windows-installer-45/6877ba2e-6958-4fe5-a320-17b3bd87bfd4

Ya thats what I think That I only have this problem with "Microsoft update" not windows update and it's only when I have office 2003 installed. But it may happen with other versions like 2007 i haven't tested that. I found my 2003 office hotfixes I have all of them since SP3 full ENU installers. I am glad I saved them since MS has now deleted them off of their site. If there was enough interest in it, Id be willing to break/fix a XP VM with 2003 office and try to figure out which update/update actually causes this problem but i don't know if its worth it. In the past I have been able to successfully run microsoft update on a vanilla 2003 office Source, But the moment I start apply patches to it or if it is even fully patched update breaks.

Absolute smallest off an ISO is something like a tweaked bart PE, you can make bart pe run from a Flash or hdd as well.

Smallest I got it ever was running with less than 50MBs of memory and I shell swapped to a mini shell.

This is a old problem that MS never fixed. It's the kinda issue that effects multiple configurations the same way. Some solutions that work for some people don't work for other people. I have this issue when I have office 2003 installed on an XP machine and I have Microsoft update instead of just the standard update installed. Try to run this file and see if it fixes your problem. Also install the latest IE 8 cumulative hot fix. Its on the windows update catalog. If you don't have MS office then you don't need MS update, Try to use normal Windows update and disable MS update. Its in the options. Last thing you may wat to try is somone made a standalone windows update for XP like what they have in win 7 but I never tried it. https://www.wincert.net/forum/index.php?/topic/9907-official-windows-update-agent-767600320/ fix_svchost.bat https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=internet+explorer+8 regsvr32 msident.dll /s regsvr32 msieftp.dll /s regsvr32 xmsconf.ocx /s regsvr32 ils.dll /s regsvr32 msoeacct.dll /s regsvr32 inetcomm.dll /s regsvr32 msdxm.ocx /s regsvr32 dxmasf.dll /s regsvr32 l3codecx.ax /s regsvr32 acelpdec.ax /s regsvr32 mpg4ds32.ax /s regsvr32 voxmsdec.ax /s regsvr32 danim.dll /s regsvr32 Daxctle.ocx /s regsvr32 lmrt.dll /s regsvr32 datime.dll /s regsvr32 dxtrans.dll /s regsvr32 dxtmsft.dll /s regsvr32 WEBPOST.DLL /s regsvr32 WPWIZDLL.DLL /s regsvr32 POSTWPP.DLL /s regsvr32 CRSWPP.DLL /s regsvr32 FTPWPP.DLL /s regsvr32 FPWPP.DLL /s regsvr32 WUAPI.DLL /s regsvr32 WUAUENG.DLL /s regsvr32 ATL.DLL /s regsvr32 WUCLTUI.DLL /s regsvr32 WUPS.DLL /s regsvr32 WUWEB.DLL /s regsvr32 wshom.ocx /s regsvr32 wshext.dll /s regsvr32 vbscript.dll /s regsvr32 scrrun.dll mstinit.exe /setup /s regsvr32 msnsspc.dll /SspcCreateSspiReg /s regsvr32 msapsspc.dll /SspcCreateSspiReg /s regsvr32 /s urlmon.dll regsvr32 /s mshtml.dll regsvr32 /s shdocvw.dll regsvr32 /s browseui.dll regsvr32 /s jscript.dll regsvr32 /s vbscript.dll regsvr32 /s scrrun.dll regsvr32 /s msxml.dll regsvr32 /s actxprxy.dll regsvr32 /s softpub.dll regsvr32 /s wintrust.dll regsvr32 /s dssenh.dll regsvr32 /s rsaenh.dll regsvr32 /s gpkcsp.dll regsvr32 /s sccbase.dll regsvr32 /s slbcsp.dll regsvr32 /s cryptdlg.dll regsvr32 /s schannel.dll regsvr32 /s oleaut32.dll regsvr32 /s ole32.dll regsvr32 /s shell32.dll regsvr32 /s initpki.dll regsvr32 /s msscript.ocx regsvr32 /s dispex.dll regsvr32 jscript.dll /s del %temp% /Q /F net stop wuauserv ren %windir%\system32\catroot2 catroot2.old cd /d %windir%\SoftwareDistribution rd /s DataStore /Q regsvr32 wuapi.dll /s regsvr32 wups.dll /s regsvr32 wuaueng.dll /s regsvr32 wucltui.dll /s regsvr32 wuweb.dll /s regsvr32 msxml.dll /s regsvr32 msxml2.dll /s regsvr32 msxml3.dll /s regsvr32 urlmon.dll /s net start wuauserv exit

SMB 1 vulnerability isn't a threat if u have a firewall that blocks that port. I think the basic firewall that comes with XP blocks it and any decent router should by default. It's a non issue.

Adobe said they are retiring flash in 2020.

Ya I tried a couple different patches. Still waiting for a 95% working on all machines stable one for XP.

I know I am a little late to the party, but I am sure that I have all the full hotfix installers from SP3 to fully patched if you still need let me know.

I use a AIO Repack that ricktendo made it include .net 1.1 to 4.0 with all hotfix included and it gives me no issues. I don't use SP4 tho. I use QFE + pos addon. There is a tool called .net clean up utility http://www.thewindowsclub.com/the-net-framework-removal-cleanup-tool I might try to just remove it all and then try the solution that I use http://repacks.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=26&sid=885d7e8be75f70d74e94f1ff93b2dc98&start=30

I remember there was some people like tomasz86 and Blackwingcat who were successful in porting a lot of XP updates to win 2k and 2k Server after it died. I wonder how hard it would be to port XP pos ready updates to 2003 server 32bit. The code between 2003 5.2 and XP 5.1 seems a lot closer than XP 5.1 and 2k 5.0 to me. Would this be worth doing considering no one uses 2003 server 32 bit. I think there is even less 2003/XP 64-bit users though.

It works fine. Only issue is some programs that say they are X64 bit don't install or run and there is no fix for that since the developers only want it to run on win 7 and up using API hooks only found there.

ebay

No but I use it on my laptop.

Clonezilla

Roffen just use clonezilla. http://clonezilla.org/ You will need a 2nd partition or a 2nd hard disk drive to save the image to. Its just like Ghost except its a linux live CD.
