win32

I believe both are needed. Install UMDF (User-Mode Driver Framework) first.

The runaround. But the guy seems to be a So he may not be able to do much for Windows.

It would appear when the phone is connected to the PC (change between USB, MTP, PTP and charging). But I also have a Galaxy S5 with Android 6.0.1 and USB mass storage is not available.

I don't think 48bit LBA support would be necessary if the phone's storage is <128 GB. Or is it for some weird reason? So in that case, it would be any PC after 1996/97 with an OS with USB mass storage support. Why did we even need MTP anyway? All it does lock out OSes older than XP. And MTP device access is much slower in Windows 7/8.1/10 than in XP and 2000 in my experience.

Open up the WMP 11 installer in 7zip and extract two exes that are titled something like umdf.exe and wmf11.exe and run just those. You will get the advanced MTP drivers that will allow you to access your S5 and keep your WMP 9.

Microsoft is known for its MiStakes, the biggest one of course being Windows 10, and I think accidentally revealing a premier support (now renamed Unified Support) update is certainly up there. Microsoft's Security Update ISOs from 2010 to 2013 had several Windows 2000 updates that obviously weren't meant to be publically released; unfortunately this method of update distribution ended in July 2016. Since it was released in July 2019 and is a non-security update, it probably falls into the same category as the Windows 2000 updates and wasn't meant for public release. The Unified Support sales number is 1-800-426-9400. Not sure how useful it will be though. Other than that, I found a reference to per-incident support (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4341255) but you need a M$ account to access it. For that, I guess you could say "my chain of supermarkets in Casablanca has the wrong time on their POSReady machines" and see what they could do for you, though I don't see anyone buying that.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to finish my hotfix, as I can't find the MSCF.sfx needed to finish it and I'm having issues trying to get it to install on a Windows 2000 system (no XP x86 for me). So, instead of making something with unredistributable M$ files, I just consolidated the changes into one reg file that works not only on XP, but all NT 5.x OSes (a little tweaking will bring it to 9x). I just applied it and it works - now Morocco is at UTC +1 and in Standard Time. The tzchange.dll and exe seem to be unnecessary bloat. https://mega.nz/file/B8MHwCrY#NJ9h0hroSch6eS6MhebpY7oGKIrx3OtzcWuPcoui-9U

Server 2008 is the obvious choice being closer to XP. All this update does is update tzres.dll (Time Zone Resources), but that file doesn't exist in XP. What I see in 2000/XP is tzchange.dll and tzchange.exe, which can be used to modify time zones, and OS updates seem to use this tool to modify them as well (9x uses timezone.dll and timezone.exe). We should compare with XP timezone updates. If done correctly, we will have a Server 2008 update backported to XP, 2000 and 9x! (XP's DST update was backported to 9x) Thing is that these omniglot NT6 updates are confusing. Anyone know of a tool to properly extract them on my NT5 machine? Forget some of that noise, actually. All we need to do is write an INF specifying the timezone changes (as listed in the support article), I believe, in the same format as an official XP timezone update. No need to go into 2008 updates. OK, so the changes can be summed up as: Brazil no longer has DST, affects E. South America Standard Time and Central Brazilian Standard Time Morocco Standard Time fixed, changed from UTC +02 to UTC +01 Now how to express that in hex... The reg entries that would need to be changed would be in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Time Zones, specifically Central Brazilian Standard Time and E. South America Standard Time. Under each is a "Dynamic DST" key with listings of DST dates (in hex) from 2004 to 2040, which means presumably Windows XP will stop changing from ST to DT after 2040. I think we can just delete the Dynamic DST entry for Central Brazillian and E. SA time because Saskatchewan time has no DST and no such entry, and simply modify the main key for Morocco Standard Time (which is somehow, still UTC 0 on my XP).

WPS 2016 works on 2000 exkernel/XP but 2019 is Windows 7 and up. But parts of their site are so dumb that they force a mobile layout on a 1024x768 monitor.

Unfortunately, the above suggestion doesn't work. But what does work is extracting the contents of the .NET 4.0 installer and running the two x64 MSIs directly. You will have to use Orca on each, entering the "CustomAction" tables and dropping the "CA_BlockDirectInstall" entry from the tables. There are no installation options so not running the bootstrapped installer shouldn't be a problem, I think. The netfxcorex64 package installs successfully (haven't installed the second one but I don't see why it wouldn't work), services are running, and the only .NET 4 program I have is working. As usual, the official system requirements specify XP SP3/2003 SP2 (begging the question, would the bootstrapped installer work if I changed my XP x64 from workstation to server?), and strangely enough, IE 5.01 even though XP and above come with much newer versions of MSIE. Maybe it was originally supposed to run on Windows 2000?

The Core 2 Duo has several times more L2 cache, generally higher frequencies up to over 3 GHz, doubled L1 cache, and a slightly longer pipeline (12 to 14 stages, instead of the PIII's 11). The Core 2 Duo also postdates the capacitor plague which has affected my Slot 1 and Socket 478 boards. The Core 2 Quad is more of the same, and may only be necessary if certain workloads are being performed on a newer OS.

I use nLite 1.4.9.3 and simply integrate BWC's AHCI and RAID drivers as textmode drivers. Never any issues. Except when nLite is run on media that has been modified by HFSLIP 2000 beforehand though (such issues are not related to AHCI though); but things are fine if done the other way around.

LTSC is far less I/O intensive than regular Home/Pro editions of Windows 10 due to the lack of UWP apps installing and updating themselves, as well as a reduction in telemetry. Thus, LTSC is far more usable than the latter two OOB, especially on 5400/7200 rpm HDDs. But I think you can get the same experience from Windows Server as that also lacks the UWP junk, has a far smaller storage/RAM footprint by default, and doesn't require enterprise licensing. My father had grown so unsatisfied with Windows 10 that it was finally replaced by Ubuntu this week, mostly due to the I/O problems. It should no longer be licenced for PCs with only HDDs, as it's basically equivalent to Vista with 512 MB of RAM. And that Vista Ready nonsense went nowhere quickly...

I was pleased to notice that hundreds of Windows 2000 packages have been archived: http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://w2k.flxsrv.org/cgi-bin/* Yeah, once every few weeks Boingo loses the WLAN card yet the PC will sometimes remain connected to the web. Disabling and re-enabling the connection from the network connections folder seems to fix it.

You can try the wrapper DLLs out now: http://web.archive.org/web/20161018220327/http://w2k.flxsrv.org/cgi-bin/dl.cgi?file=kdw097bx.zip The password is "kdwkdw". I think that the fcwin2k in that package is supposed to work all the way back to win95, but I won't be sure until tomorrow.

There is also Windows 8.x-based Windows RT. But I don't think it's possible to natively install non-Apple OSes on Apple's ARM hardware. If virtualization is possible as opposed to emulation, it should be faster though. Problem is that the non-x86 versions of Windows are not renowned for their compatibility, and if anything, use emulation to run x86 stuff.

How does this tool sound? CrystalMark 2004 R1, the last version to support 95/98/Me/NT4. I use the current 2004 R7 to bench Windows 2000 sometimes. Measures HDD, RAM, ALU, FPU, GDI, OpenGL and DirectDraw (referred to as D2D) performance. http://web.archive.org/web/20070409095440/http://crystalmark.info/download/CrystalMark09.zip I use a ThinkPad T41 with a Pentium M 1.6 GHz, 1x 512 MB PC2700 DDR RAM, an ATi Mobility Radeon 7500 32MB, and a 5400 RPM 40 GB HDD to run 98SE. The Pentium M is a continuation of the Pentium III series, but at higher clocks and with SSE2. Unfortunately they are almost non-existent on the desktop and need an adapter to work with socket 478. Since the OP is aiming towards a desktop solution, some of this stuff is out of consideration, but the desktop cards will certainly beat my mobile card which ran SimCity 4 with six-figure pop cities good, as well as Mall Tycoon 3 (2005). I will stress that PC2700 DDR RAM is certainly superior to PC133 though, as all of the benchmark entries in Everest Home Edition 2.20 for PC2700 are higher than for PC133, including my system. I do think that most Socket 478 boards are capable of using DDR (mine uses PC2700, though it's currently out of order so I won't be testing it). The thing is that the Pentium III topped out at about 1.5 GHz and then you had the P4s going well above 3.0 GHz. Not as efficient but I think with the PC2700 DDR and the higher clocks, you will be ahead with the P4 (I believe the tipping point is 2-2.2 GHz). I used a 3.0 GHz Prescott machine that ran almost constantly from 2004 to 2016 (it did run 98SE early on, and then it ran folding stuff in the later years) so I think that they can certainly take a bit of stress. By the way, I get an ALU score of 5546, FPU score of 6812 and a MEM score of 2719 on my laptop with CrystalMark.

Have you plugged in a second monitor? This modified nv4_mini.sys may help:

65nm X58 - 2008/11 - FSB 1333 (?) - DDR3-1866 (for ASUS Sabertooth board; some others work with DDR3-1333 or 1600 max) - ICH10R Not officially supported, but it doesn't require much intervention to get it working as it predates UEFI and is the last one before Intel dropped UHCI controllers, so USB should work out of the box. You can use dual Xeons to get up to 24 threads. I use an OEM variant of it (HP Z600). This AHCI/RAID driver should work. The latest chipset device naming driver from BWC should also work (as well as his AHCI/RAID driver), once it's back online:

I don't know if anyone has said it already, and I'm a little too lazy to look considering the lack of functionality this site has in retrozilla, but the 9xwebhelper script does work in Windows 95. I just used it to download a brief youtube video. There is no better way to stretch 128 MB of RAM than with Windows 95. I did a fair bit of web browsing (mostly without JS) and there's no swapping taking place!

If you need to replace crypt32.dll, you may also want to replace rsaenh.dll, schannel.dll and dssenh.dll. This would be the third program to have problems with BWC's versions of those files: Office 2007 for SHA-2 encrypted files, web browsers trying to run M$ Teams, and now Zoom. Unfortunately, the XP versions of those files will break Outlook 2007.

unfortunately, he hasn't put those up yet.

\It's in the exkernel v3.0e binary, which can be found on @i430VX's site. Not sure about the gameguard version.

Nope. What a shame, because XP x64 and Server 2003 actually do have it.

sorry, I meant import directory, which does contain a table.
