Do you plan on continuing to use XP? (Community poll by VistaEX)
TigTex replied to VistaEX's topic in Windows XP
I would only use XP on a machine that doesn't perform good enough with a modern operating system (pentium 4 or older) and linux isn't a viable alternative. Software patches are important for our own online safety -
Also, make sure that you use 32bit windows because the memory usage is considerably lower if you can't afford more RAM

I hope "$763.45" shipping is a mistake... BIOS updates are cumulative, you only need to flash the latest version and that's all. There are some rare computers that require you to update to an intermediate bios version before upgrading to the last version but those are extremely rare and it's documented that you need that.

Auto-Patcher For Windows 98se (English)
TigTex replied to soporific's topic in Windows 9x Member Projects
Is there any localized version of any kind of "service pack" for 98se? I have a pentium mmx laptop that I brought back to life (old capacitors are crap, they leak everywhere...) -
Media player to play bin files (Audio CD images)
TigTex replied to NoNameNeeded's topic in Software Hangout
If foobar2000 can't play it, probably nothing can. Can't you mount the .bin file as a virtual drive and use any media player? -
I think I became the first person to install Windows 10 on UEFI-MBR.
TigTex replied to GD 2W10's topic in Windows 10
I've done that many times at my work when people install windows in CSM mode on a uefi system because they don't know better. Just install windows in CSM mode (or use the existing system if it was installed in CSM/BIOS mode) and then boot to windows instal media. Press shift+F10 and open diskpart, format the boot partition in fat32 and use bcdboot to reinstall the boot files with the /f UEFI switch. Reboot, disable CSM and done! Should be much easier than your method and the result will be a UEFI-MBR bootable disk with uefi class 3+ compliance. -
I use Macrium Reflect Free for all my backup / cloning purposes on my work and at home. It's free for both comercial and personal users. Give it a try.

High temperature caution! but the heat sink is cold.
TigTex replied to Cixert's topic in Hardware Hangout
Running a year 2000+ cpu without thermal paste is asking for trouble. That 2 or 3 dollars/euros that you save on a small cheap tube might cost you a new system. Even if the cpu doesn't thermal throttle, the huge spikes in temperature from idle to load might kill the chip. Also remember that older cpu's are NOT designed to run hot like today's cpus. -
How do I use nvidia graphics (680M) instead of intel
TigTex replied to Duck42069's topic in Windows XP
Intel HD is responsible for the graphics output. It is directly connected to the internal display and it can't be disabled. On modern operating systems, when a 3D application is detected, the driver enables the discrete GPU and renders only that specific window (or fullscreen) application. The intel HD is still rendering the rest of the screen. XP doesn't support switchable graphics so this will never work. You can only disable the intel HD graphics on a laptop after doing several hardware modifications or if you have a "gaming" laptop that has that feature. (some laptops have a "gam -
Except IE9 on vista x64. It needs some extra procedures to install. On x86 there is no problem
