    My Office is 2007, so I may not be of much help.

    But maybe this will fix your issue (article cites your exact issue but on Windows 2000)  --  https://superuser.com/questions/1504407/office-2003-cant-open-newer-office-files

    More specifically, solution was to use "version 2" of the compatibility pack (linked in superuser article)  --  https://www.malavida.com/en/soft/microsoft-office-compatbility-pack/download

    "This is a pre-release version of the Compatibility Pack and can only open pre-release Office 2007 files."
    = This is a problem with MSVCRT.DLL in Windows 2000.

    I have created Update KB926436-v2 to fix this issue in Windows 2000.

    You can use the latest version.

    MEGA

    Thanks for the information from 2013.

    Once again: Thank you very much, MilkChan. You deserved yourself a spot in the acknowledgements list of the update "OTSKB000001" and have been added to the help file. I am now able to make the update "OTSKB000001" compatible with Windows XP and Windows Server 2003.

    ---

    Yes, I need to analyse all language editions of the file win32k.sys. Or at least that was necessary in Windows 2000.

    ---

    I noticed, that installing the update "Windows XP/KB4493927" in a vanilla Windows XP system is not possible. To allow installing this update the key "POSready" and the value "Installed" need to be in the registry. So I added the update to the help file and added a note in the subtopic "system requirements" as a help with the installation.

    ---

    things to do:

    • add the update "Windows Server 2003/KB4516665" to the help file
    • analysis of the updates "Windows XP/KB4493927" and "Windows Server 2003/KB4516665" to check whether there are any changes to the function "CreateXlateObject" and what the offsets are. Then update "code.htm".
    • add version 4 of the update "OTSKB000001" to the help file
    • write the version 4 of the update "OTSKB000001"

    Yes, it is an update for Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 (Base form Windows XP).
    That update uses SSE2 instructions, which may cause problems with CPUs without SSE2.

    I am checking for another version of Windows XP that does not use SSE2.

    Thank you very much, MilkChan. I already used the file from Windows Server 2008 to verify whether the bug still exists. It does exist even in Windows Server 2025. But knowing which update contains the latest version of win32k.sys allows me to write an update for XP and Windows Server 2003, too. Otherwise I would be patching an old version which has other bugs.

    So, yes, I am interested in knowing the latest update which contains the win32k.sys for Windows Server 2003, too.

    At the moment I will stick with the 32 bit versions. I do not have much experience in writing 64 bit code. So I don't want to risk messing up someone's system.

    for Server 2003 x86/x64 (Extended Security Updates) - KB4516665 (5.2.3790.6946)

    When you need multiple languages

    Here are all my Update Packs Source Files with update ESU that My friend and I kept it too have uploaded to archive.org

    Another thing is Windows 7/Windows Vista/Windows 8/8.1 can use

    because it is Code Base.

    Hello Windows 2000/XP fans,
    while I was working on a graphics driver, I noticed random crashes (blue screens) which were hard to reproduce. They don't happen often, but when using a display mode with 16 colors (for example 640x480x16 colors) they seem to happen more often than with other color depths.

    Eventually I was able to narrow down the problem and came to the conclusion, that the root cause is a buffer overrun in the function "CreateXlateObject" in the file "win32k.sys". This buffer overrun sometimes caused a random crash. In the most cases it happened within win32k.sys.

    I observed, that this issue is not fixed even in the newest version of win32k.sys from a Windows 2000 update from April 2016. An old version of win32k.sys from Windows XP has the same problem. I don't know which Windows XP update contains the newest version of win32k.sys for Windows XP, so I could not validate whether this issue was ever fixed - and if so: how.

    So I thought about what to do and came up with the idea, to write a Windows update of my own to fix this bug.

    So far I gathered necessary information and wrote a help file which contains most of what I know about the nature of this issue and how it can be fixed:
    OTSKB.chm

    There is some more auxilliary information available, which I do not plan to distribute among end users:
    code.htm

    Eventually, I fixed the win32k.sys from Windows 2000 manually with a hex editor to test the proposed solution:
    5.00.2196.0001.zip

    The update, which would do this automatically and then install the new file automatically, is not written, yet.

    I would appreciate some feedback before I continue writing the update. Please let me know what you think. Maybe I just got it all wrong, don't know.

    Edit: The title has been changed from "request for comment" to "looking for a beta tester".

    Hi

    for Windows XP SP3
    KB4493927 (POSReady) Updates 5.1.2600.7684

    Do you need Server 2003 and XP x64 too?

  5. @Zorba the Geek Not sure if you should update VC++ 2019
    found the final version of Windows XP that installed all dll api correctly

    You can downgrade the file and it will work with older versions as
    concrt140.dll
    vccorlib140.dll
    vcamp140.dll
    msvcp140.dll
    msvcp140_1.dll
    msvcp140_2.dll

    Not related
    msvcp140_atomic_wait.dll
    The files are all newer, the rest are loaded in Windows normally.

    MilkChan I noticed that you released an updated version of YumeYao's WMP11 addon at My Digital Life and you list some corrections of errors in the original version 3.4.5.  Could you clarify some points for me so that these corrections can be incorporated into my addon?

    • In the registry the build date of KB973540 is shown as 14/07/2009, while the build date shown in the properties of wmpdxm.dll is shown as 13/07/2009.  Is this the build date error you were referring to?
    • What is the missing security catalog.  There were no errors shown in setuperr.log.
    • What is the fix for ptpusb.inf required for Windows 2003
    • wpd.inf is not included with WMP9 or WMP11.  Why was it supplied as a dummy INF file with only the header?
    • wmp11.cat appears in OnePiece's AIO update pack and the YumeYao WMP11 addon.  Is this the .cat file conflict you were referring to?  Is the resolution to rename wmp11.inf?
    • mpg4ds32.ax_ and msadds32.ax_ would have the effect of removing these decoders from the system.  Is there a reason for this?
    • What are the files essential to the system that were deleted in YumeYao's WMP11 addon?
    • What was the KB973540 string not working properly?
    • What was the issue in version 3.4.1 that prevented mp3 files from playing?

    I will remove my version
    Because got the original addon version file of v3.5.1 updated by adric.

    are you serious or joking?

    I have all the original files in all languages do you understand?!

    in which language should I write it to you?!

    I just need to know how to create the pack, is it that hard to understand?!

    Thanks

    I'm not teasing you If you have a file as requested for Italian, real and complete And I can do

    For Windows 2003 Server x64 the official languages are 19!
    I asked you how you create packages for the x64 versions, since DXUPAC does not work.
    If you want to give me an answer I thank you.
    If you want to evade the question I will find the method in another way.
    Thanks

    I already told you that if there is no source files, the language and I only have English.
    The Japanese language, I created it, just making each message straight text files in DLL.
    And the following problem is SFC
    There is a lot of mistakes. 

    19 that language I already know You will never find official files.
    Unless you have to ask for Microsoft only

    what program can I use for x64, since the DXUPAC program only works for x86

    I would like to integrate all updates for Windows 2003 Server x64 for all languages.

    Thanks

    It is not useful for other languages in x64
    Some source files are only released in the company and on request
    and only in English
    Some updates like RDP in x64 are only in 2 official languages
    English and Japanese

  10. Since I have released a new version of Update Packs for 
    RyanVM Windows XP Post-SP2 Update Pack 
    I have checked several new and old missing Updates 
    which are missing KB894871 not in Update Packs.
    And can't access thehotfixshare.net at all
    It will give ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR
    Each time

    KB894871 - When you use the System Preparation tool and the Sysprep.inf file to update drivers on a Microsoft Windows XP image, the File Signature Verification tool may report that some drivers are not digitally signed

    I am  trying to make fully slipstreamed windows 2003 64 bit ISO. I tried DXUPAC but it didn't work.  Can you make a simplified Chinese version of IE 8? Thank you in advance.

    The tools do not have the ability to create x64
    multilingual
    I created only Japanese and English because both Windows XP and Server 2003 are x64

    Chinese Only Server 2003 x64 no XP
    and it is not worth me to do it but I can share the update with you (DM)

    I didn't know but abbodi has indeed already created a fully updated .NET Framework AIO for NT 5.1 and 5.2

    https://github.com/abbodi1406/dotNetXP

     

    His AIO contains an extensive list of updates ; hotfixes, custom updates, regular updates, posready updates and even the latest Vista NET 3.5 updates from 2024 are included

    (compatible with NT5.1 apparently) so I don't really think making another .NET Framework AIO is needed unless he is missing some updates???

     

    In his thread over at MDL, George King also mentionned how to make an addon for nLite out of it :

    One Piece UpdatePacks is part of George King's project, which has updated everything except the .net framework, which 
    I cannot improve, and someone better than me needs to come in. George King (XP2ESD) is taking over my .net part.

    Oops I meant XPSP3_QFE_POSReady_Addon_20200820_Pro.7z not onepiece. I haven't tried mixing and matching them and nor do I intend to.

    I see that you have used the POSUpdates.ini from my XPSP3_QFE_POSReady_Addon in the OnePiece_WinXP_Embedded_Post-SP3_True_AddOn_ENU which, for some strange reason, includes an entries_EOL.ini file with only the General section.  I cannot remember why I included the line

    drvindex.inf|hsf_fs|hsf_fsks.sys|1

    because hsf_fsks.sys is not updated with the POSReady update and the line is garbled and does not do anything.

    I don't see any issues in my new updated version.

    well maybe there should be a inofficial SP4 (including all of these upgrades also the posready ones) for all languages

     

    in a older past there was a ugly solution

    someone collected all these upgrades. and then run them via createprocess() function , that took 4 hours or something

    a better way would be to set the files and registry entrys manually via registry and file functions

    that 4 hours method just runs each update.exe (for every kb upgrade) over and over - until it has the 190 upgrades or something

    I am the creator UpdatePacks.
    But don't know how to make SP4 of harkaz. It's hard.
    Can't make it. I want someone who is better than me to develop it instead.
    SP4 of harkaz also has some missing updates and is not complete.

    SP4 of harkaz also caused problems with Windows Explorer
    and it crashed all the time when left click
    when Office 2010 is installed on the machine

    x64 should have its own SP3 as it has all the updates. 
    Who can make it will give all Source Files.

    do we need winxp x64 fully updated ISO that has all the post sp2 updates or the sp2 vl X13-41611 version is all that's needed for the 5eraph pack to work corectly?

    nope sorry relay You can use any ISO and it must be x64 Service Packs 2.
