win32

Actually, there is a solution. At the same link, you will find a wrapper for kernel32.dll; rename it to kernel33.dll, place in system32, and then open dwmapi.dll in CFF Explorer, go to the "import table" and change kernel32 to kernel33. Also check dependency walker for other dependencies and change as necessary.

You should try using the dwmapi.dll from this library of wrapper DLLs intended for XP: https://github.com/tumagonx/xompie/ That 8.1 one relies on a tonne of stuff not in XP.

I need some specifications to answer properly, since "Pavilion" is very vague. You need to find some USB 3.0 drivers, probably. You will need to slipstream them into your install media, or install W7 from an internal optical drive with a PS/2 keyboard ready. I do think that these consumer-grade OEM designs probably lack them, since even my OptiPlex 745 from 2006 lacks the ports.

USP 5.1 only contains official MS updates and is equivalent to SP4 UR1, so in this case, it is vanilla.

OK, some things have changed for the better. Unless you're using Windows 2000. Teams in 360 Extreme Explorer 11.0.2251.0 does work on XP x64, and probably NT 5.1 as well, but fails on Windows 2000. Only some minor cosmetic glitches seem to occur. Stuff like conferencing cannot be tested as I don't have a webcam handy. My laptop actually can't run XP due to issues with the inbox drivers, so it looks I'm going to have to put Server 2003 to use M$ Teams. At least no VMs are necessary. UPDATE: turns out that the situation with win2k is fixable. I think I just need to get mozglue.dll (and chrome_elf.dll?) to call XP's crypto files much like my fix for Office 2007.

You should look at both drivers' sys files in dependency walker and tell us which dependencies are missing. If there are (which is probably true) dependencies lacking, then it isn't compatible with XP. But there is a chance that Server 2003 has those dependencies, but that wouldn't help those who can't get 2003.

I don't think so. We still have high-quality web browsers being produced and still have vast virtualization/emulation opportunities that 9x never had, to run certain applications that won't suffer much of a performance hit. Whilst there are numerous games and other hardware-accelerated software that have issues on Vista and above, which would make XP x64 the ideal OS for such applications, since it runs nearly x86 games as well as XP x86 plus a few x64 native games. I know that one game of mine, Sid Meier's Railroads, which I've been playing since before there was a Vista, needs a couple hex edits to not crash every 3 minutes on NT6 systems. But what still bothers me about playing it in Vista is that the delay to open some screens is about five seconds, when it's instant on 2000/XP. So I try to get as many games as possible on NT5 and realize that virtualization on top of a newer OS is not an option.

You have tried putting an entry for Photoshop in fcwin2k, right? As long as you do that, the program fully functions with extended kernel v2.9i and later (or maybe 2.9h5, or whenever he fixed the comdlg32 bug). I do think that it's ridiculous that Adobe specifically blocked all versions before XP (CS3 also blocked installation and execution in Server 2003).

Well, M$ Teams works in OG Pale Moon 28.8.0 on 2012R2! Service workers were not enabled. But Serpent 52 x64 on the same machine/OS fails. I wonder what component was removed from roytam's builds (or the other XP-compatible browsers) to make it fail.

X99 actually uses DDR4 RAM (up to 2133 MHz) and the most powerful CPU would be an i7-6950X (10C/20T), overclockable to over 4 GHz. If you just want to count cores, you can get 12C/24T on the pre-UEFI X58 (and also break 4 GHz) and have no hassles installing win2k whatsoever. The i7-6970HQ is just a high-end mobile CPU; good luck running a Skylake laptop on NT5 since all of the reasonable GPU options don't support it (unless you get a 700M-series GeForce, which is a little old compared to Skylake, or a desktop GPU option). You could actually go up to 64 GB (which is what the marketing copy for datacenter server promised), but BWC apparently only enables up to 32 GB in his patched kernel. There are screenshots of a win2k system detecting 64 GB on his blog.

that even happens in win2k exkernel. Try 1.7.5 since that works good on my win2k.

Well, that driver may be just plain trash after all, as this is what happens with it in x64.

The thumbnails have also returned for me on Classic. Polymer v2 just shows the grey placeholder rectangles on Serpent 52 but who needs that. hopefully we are never forced to use mobile versions of sites. they are incredibly dumbed down and look very weird at desktop resolutions.

Well, when I get back to my XP x64 machine next week, I'm going to set up a VM with the lightest OS capable of running M$ Teams and run it in seamless mode. Hopefully Debian 10 x64 will be good enough for seamless with VMware WS 10 since the former is about six years newer than the latter. Or maybe WS 11 will work in XP x64... Or I'll just go for W8 x86.

I found another link on here pointing to this page: http://web.archive.org/web/20150321044055/http://support.amd.com/zh-cn/kb-articles/Pages/icafe-unified.aspx There are two other drivers; one from August 2015 (not crawled by wayback machine) and another from September 2015 which was preserved on archive.org (but not wayback machine itself).

I have found the newest-known AMD driver for Windows XP x64 (icafe): http://web.archive.org/web/20150525015957/http://www2.ati.com/drivers/windows-xp-amd-catalyst-9.00.300.3005-dec9.exe It's from December 2014, which is much newer than the latest Catalyst from January 2014. So it may work better for INF modding than the older one.

There is an INF entry for the HD8180 in these icafe drivers: http://web.archive.org/web/20150525015957/http://www2.ati.com/drivers/windows-xp-amd-catalyst-9.00.300.3005-dec9.exe

I think so. Can't find anything else other than this: http://kernelex.sourceforge.net/wiki/Mozilla_Firefox Were any special KernelEx settings needed?

Even with ublock disabled, no thumbnails appear (actually some do, but it's the same as before). And my only hosts entry for google is google-analytics.com.

<post redacted, user should check PMs>

Any screenshots? Sorry, but this is the first of April.

And now this happens. I think this is the start of the slow, painful death of classic: And stupid polymer pages take 20 seconds to load on my laptop. I wish they would go back to the 2008 layout with the star system, which would make the site usable on PIIs again. But the Chromebook and Android people be like "a good Pentium II is a dead Pentium II"

This is the new WLU site: http://win2k.org/wlu/wluen.htm Unfortunately many files, including the extended kernels and cores, are presently missing. I think he is focusing on this now: I'd mirror the latest extended kernel and core but I'm not sure if BWC would approve.

And that "authentication loop" results in failure, as it tries several times to log in but returns me to the login page.
