So they finally enforced that, I take it? It was supposed to cease function in may.

Well what if thats true.... but the good ol' MS guys decided that they get to decide what the life of your hardware is?

I need some help looking for an audio driver for this Gateway E-2000 running Windows 98 SE. I found all of the other drivers except for this. I did find a couple drivers (for the generic intel board, D845GRG which this is based off of...) they were functional playing WAV files in WMP... but only 2 system event sounds (start navigation sound and recycle bin empty). The entire time, they weren’t very stable, causing bsods sometimes when attempting to play a sound. I am currently not at home, but I can post the hardware ID in a few hours. Thank you... -jack

I know office 2010 (x86 I beleive) can be installed on XP x64 by spoofing the windows version. I wouldn't see why older versions wouldn't work.

Also Confirmed working on XP x64 SP2! Since when was there a 64-bit plugin? Starting IE in 64-bit mode, it also runs the 64-bit plugin. Cool!

I see it's resolved in 2.3.1, but FWIW I got 2.3.0 to work by running the XomPie script on it

Me, for one! However only on one system. The other XP x86 system remains at an early 2018 level, or so, mainly because I'm lazy. And the several other XP machines I have and use are x64

Old thread, but that IE6 thing I mentioned "appeared" on my xp x64 system. In a folder, in the root of the drive, called "Internet Explorer" (How appropriate). Upon running it: Note how it says IE8. Rendering-wise, it works like IE8. However it's a bit broken when you attempt to do something with the address bar. I'd provide the set of files as ZIP but they are almost certainly barred from unauthorized distribution. Unless a moderator thinks differently.

My friend has had one success and one failure with the $5 ebay keys. He got his money back on the scam though. As stated, YMMV.

Well I brought a Q4OS Live CD to the school with me. Q4OS is able to connect to the network just fine. So it's not a hardware problem. I'm planning to install Q4OS in a dual boot, but If anybody knows of another solution or a third party wireless client I could test, it would be most welcome.

Speaking of the phone method, I activated windows windows 8.1 by phone a few days ago, and the "do it on your phone's web browser" method was GONE! So I spent the next painful 15 minutes doing it by voice.

The problem is that while i can and have configured my home router, It would be frowned upon if I brute-forced into the schools router and configured it for myself. Also in the wireless connection settings for the school network, I noticed that windows keeps changing the key type from wpa2-psk to wep. I change it back, and it changes again. I know for a fact the key type is WPA2-PSK. Why is it doing this? somewhere on the internet I saw about using a third party utility to avoid it, but what would be a decent third party wireless configuration utility?

So It must not be a pure N radio, because I can see it. This ThinkPad can detcect and use my 5ghz home networks (So 5Ghz must exist in G mode, and N) . I don't know if these ones are 5Ghz or not.

Yes. I am.

Thanks for the info. I have also tried some wireless-g USB cards, they didnt work either.

Alright, so apparently my home internet is of the 'n' type. How can I connect to it? Can some fall back, and some can't?

XP has no such luxury. Even though it will be Saturday maybe I'll bike up to the school tomorrow with a windows 7 computer and investigate

How do I check? I didn’t happen to see any info in the various dialogs and whatsits.

Hey guys. My ThinkPad T60 (with Intel 345ABG Wireless adapter) cannot connect to my schools internet. It always gets stuck here: It doesn't fail. It will sit there until the end times. I know the wireless access points in question use WPA2. But I use WPA2 at home, so that's not the issue. If I boot into Windows 2000 and try to connect using boingo, it also fails. My iPhone SE and the laptop i used to bring (toshiba satellite c55-a) can both connect. I am assuming the 345ABG does not support wireless 'n' networks, could that be the issue? If it is, I know there is a compatible ABGN adapter I could buy to put in this laptop. Any Ideas? Thank you all! P.S. If I 'borrow' an Ethernet cable from one of the school PCs and attach it to my ethernet port, it works that way. So the network is seeing me and not blocking me that way. But wireless is the problem

Yeah, doesn't work here either

I might buy it. Maybe around Christmas. The price seems reasonable enough.

Well... there was that IE10 preview that ran on Vista. right? While not identical to release IE10, it could help, perhaps. (Albeit still not IE9)
