Also I think this belongs to Windows 2000/2003/NT4 section and should be moved there by moderators since topic is aboutwindows 2000

Pentium 4 478 socket or 775 socket? Also what mainboard, cpu, gpu, sound card and which driver version you tried? Also was it windows 98 or windows 98SE that is possible too on 9x if configured proper. It takes time configure. Before I had lot of crashes on my Pentium 3 system but after using known stable drivers, installing few updates, making sure hdd is ok all worked fine NTOSKRNL.EXE contains boot screen of windows 2000 on bitmap format. Modifying it is no easy task. It is not like on windows 98. But possible. One tool that may do the trick is tuneup utils bootscreen tool. I used it back in day to change bootscreens on windows. Windows 2000 logo on start menu is on shell32.dll and not sure how swap it. Anything I said from modifying is high risk and may result system to be unbootable. First fully update win2000 before trying since patches will break stuff if doing bigger mods.

What is strange many think new products are better for climate and safer than keeping using old one. Nothing is user servicable today. Issue is beyond electrical devices. It even affects todays car industry. Many modern car for example you cannot even change battery. Car refuses start engine if old battery been drained to empty and/or removed to good charged one and need take it service to make it work again. Also modern car sensors causes lot of issues. I know few cases where brake by wire caused car car accident since brakes did not work. And peoples say buying new car is good for climate and safer than old ones... Back in day many peoples drove cars until it broke then fixed and kept driving. There was lot car mechanics to do stuff like replace drivetrain, change headgasket etc. Many properly cars made it until 400 000-500 000km before needed any big maintenance. Nowadays cars are designed last way less since "who drives car over 10 000km nowadays". Today car companies wants you buy new car instead or repairing old one. I dare to say 40 year old saab 900 turbo with 2.0l engine that been properly maintained is way better to climate than any modern car that is meant last few years at best since repairbility. If companies would make simple user repairable cars with manual transmission, no drive assistants, fusebox accessible under hood, normal gauge cluster without fancy displays, no computers and reliable but simple engine I would buy it but it seems nobody does.

I have been watching thebroken show by Kevin Rose https://archive.org/details/thebroken_xvid. It was bit different type of computer show with good humour

here they stopped use of landlines by increasing price of contract to ridiciliously high compared gsm prices then stopped selling landlines with excuse nobody wants use. Sure nobody does when it was ridiously high priced to push cell phones. So there is no option. I here. I chose less evil option. Older early 2000 GSM mobile phones (got few nokia, siemens and samsung ones). In finland we got good GSM coverage, last time had call dropping 12 years ago. I miss landline as option. all my cellphones from late1990/early 2000 have survived and still operated. Few of them needed fresh battery after been sitting forever in closet. Back in day cell phones were built to last too but one point they started reduce body/build quality and blocking repairs. All I need to take apart my 6600 is needle. Not all cell phones are total garbage and breaking. Most just think cell phone as iPhone or other non locked down device not oldschool one. If they ever drop GSM I stop using phones. Not going to modern smartphone in any case.

Here is mine running on "unsupport" h87 chipset on "unsupported" ACHI with "unsupported tv tuner": Got all drivers installed expect to some useless asus own device. And they say XP wont work proper on "fast" hardware. This thing is flying with XP

N edition installation image lacks media player files so and in place upgrade will likely erase your settings only (Windows 10 allows install over existing one from dvd) but key is different on N and normal editions. What do you need on normal windows 10 pro? If media features you can use Windows Media feature pack for N editions of Windows. That adds same features.

if you do not need screenshare try run it inside firefox or chrome. I run my discord inside firefox and can still use voice, search and others. One thing you may try before it is disable discord hardware accerlation. It been causing gpu driver freezing on my windows 7 system before switched to browser. last windows server that had big improvement was windows server 2003 and it shadow copy feature. It allowed snapshots from files on shares incase user removed them by accident. Reduced it department headache a lot

some peoples does that even on enterprise environments and it caused headache to me few times. All systems with in domain messed up thanks to someone accepting not even neccessary feature update on wsus server that broke start menu on all systems.

that is new bug to me. What gpu? I need to try it on my system to see if get same. Can you use something like afterburner or gpu-z to check vram usage while lags? sounds familiar story. I used windows 95 and windows 98 on my dad computers and took me few years before got my first computer (cannot recall exact year but was long ago). It had Pentium 4 2.80, whopping 1gb of ddr ram, ati 9800 and windows XP. I played games and run Virtual machines on Virtual pc 2004 and 2007 on it. That computer originally drove me study to IT technician since wanted understand more from computers and programs and never looked back since. Was best decision I made

At this point over 20. Most are spares, repair projects, real hardware testing or just to have fun on different era of hw. Here list of main ones I use requarly For retro systems: Digital Venturis 466 (486DX2-66, 68mb ram, s3trio64, 2gb cf card, Sound Blaster 16, Windows 3.11 WFW), Compaq contura 430CX (486DX4-100, 32MB RAM, 6GB IBM Travelstar HDD, Western digital svga display adapter, Windows 95), DECpc 450SLC/e Premium (486 DX2-50, 8MB ram, 400mb hdd, Western digital svga adapter, original carry bag), IBM PS/2 laptop (386 and not sure from rest yet.

was different big enough for cover possible margin error? I never had that problem with my system despite having 29gb of my 32gb ram used by VM, firefox instances, steam etc. Sounds like you are running out of vram or ram. What gpu and how much ram I had similar issues when was low on resources. It is eye candy aero bad side that it needs video memory to run. ^this. I started computer use earlier than you back when there was windows 9x still and NT 4.0 was out so my preferences are Windows 98-windows XP and sometimes vista then windows 7 to few modern titles. For you starting use computers was likely win7 era atleast sounds like it.

Thanks. Need test it and I report back results with software

Diy DVR is best thing can do to record tv shows. No vendor lock, easy storage upgrade and unlimited possibilities I tried on vista x64 and no errors. I wanted support developer who wont just artificially block software from running totally (winpe header change for example) and dvbviewer was only to XP that could support happauge IR remotes. Happauge blocked use of tuner on older Windows version by altering hwid a bit and removing info from XP support from their site. I emailed company asking if it did support since few of their pages said Windows XP supported. Got response never been tested or supported. Support person did not even read my email. I got it working by altering driver file to match tuner (Happauge WinTV solohd) id on Happauge driver version 5.2015.1030.34035. Same method worked to Windows Vista which was "never supported" either according them. Luckily Elisa which is my cable operator in finland offers proper guide data to me

Saying I do not need any protection on pc since never got hacked or viruses is like saying wont need seatbelts on car since never driven crash. Both of those can happen and if prepared will minimise damage

DVBViewer Pro (view IPTV or TV trough tuner card on computer) latest version (7.0.2.0 in writing this) still works on xp with one tweak. On startup you will get error from bcrypt.dll missing but it will start just fine. Bcrypt.dll was on vista and newer. To get around in delete libssl-1_1.dll and libcrypto-1_1.dll on DVBViewer directory and it will fallback to older mehtod (not fully sure which). All features (Weather, RSS, Capture TV, tuning, IR remote control, games) seems work fine. Only thing I cannot say is if CI card used to paid channels works on latest since wont have one. Update: download this and replace libssl-1_1.dll and libcrypto-1_1.dll on DVBViewer directory. Those are XP compatible versions of files and All dvbviewer online features (addon downloader, weather, rss feeds) works without issue. Thanks to @VistaLover for the tip

"Because Windows <number of latest windows version here> is way better and works perfectly on me compared windows <number of any previous windows version> and you are just scared of new things and move on and wont understand from security at all" that same response been used since windows 98 rolled out with it bloated ie4 desktop and many did not like it as response to peoples who used windows 95, then when win98 and 98se and ME got eol and xp and 2k were more mainstream same started again. Soon 2k neared eol and same started insist to it, then xp eol and same argument started again. Same response been out now over 20 years because newer must be better to some. For most basic users there has not been notable changes in windows since 95, most notable changes are to power users like me. Windows 98 was windows 95 with ie4 and active desktop, Windows ME was rebranded Windows 98 with few ui changes and usb driver and dos mode removed. Windows 2000 was real improved due usb and NTFS. Windows XP was polished Windows 2000 expect improved compability to legacy applications, new management features and few others that mattered me and of course Iiked new themes it could support. Windows vista was originally developed around Server 2003 and had some improvements mostly to 64bit support while remaining decent compability. Windows 7 was polished windows vista sp2 with few under hood changes. Any Windows version after that forgot all good UI design guidelines by forcing beginner mobile ui to desktop pc. Most peoples just believe what Microsoft and media says them from Millions of hackers attacking to every old Windows version out there and also see no issue upgrade since all they do is play few new AAA titles, watch cat videos on chrome and got no legacy apps used. I say best is to ignore them. Lot peoples do not like anything old technology since believe those are bad compared new ones. I am using oldshcool nokia phone from 2003 (6600) and peoples think it is stupid and insecure and how hackers will hijack it but I do not care. It can make calls and got 40.3kbp/s mobile data incase need plus can swap battery myself (unlike on new ones). Same said from me running windows 7 and xp instead of "teh latest and greatest windows 10" but I use it anyway since can do all type of modern things on it thanks to this board and it developers (newmoon, mailnews etc.). Someday peoples will hopefully realise the facts on that newer is not always better

Guru 3d got them. Try use these to win10. I cannot say if works on win10 (since got personal ban to windows 8 and newer) but on win7 and hd4000 works no issues. they can be still used if got drivers. Dell site got ones to xp and vista.

shutup10 does good job. I recommend read all options trough. Even after that all telemetry is not gone. Nobody knows exactly what win10 got under hood

windows 7 on Core 2 duo vs Windows 10 on Ryzen threadripper test likely like most do. Refer that to many users who had old non maintained core2duo laptop with dying hdd and windows 7 bloated with oem bloat and then bought brand new pc with i7 and nvme ssd and praised how much faster win10 is than win7. Hardware got nothing to do with it of course

What browser you are using? Also do you have any plugins. Does it occur on browser safe mode too (addons disabled).

yes clearing it helps but it is annyoing since need redownload old messages and sometimes I am behind slow mobile connection where it takes forever Folders are shorter than it and wont contain ä ö å or other alfabeths. I got subfolders on folders to index my emails by categories like work, stores etc so it may confuse it.

Core will be fine if you are not scared doing all in command line without gui.

I got annyoing bug on latest mailnews. I got 2 gmail accounts using imap4 via o2auth and got custom message folders created on gmail webui. I have enabled download offline copies of messages on settings. If I leave any of those custom folders open and close Mailnews sometimes when I it again start inbox and every message on account disappears until I delete all config files or restore backup of appdata. I can still view mails on web or other systems with client. Pop3 is disabled on gmail control panel. I am running latest Mailnews 32bit build on Windows XP 32bit. It seems like corruption of local data during login if left open

For starters you will need Windows 98 Second edition install cd, Not Windows 98 GOLD/RTM. 98 and 98SE got some changes under the hood and some drivers works best on Windows 98SE. Visually you can see it by looking whatever install cd you got next to "for pc without windows" or "shipped with new pc" or similar text it should say Second Edition. Second way is insert cd and look readme. It should say Windows 98 Second edition. I got both and for newer hw 98SE worked best To make it run windows 98 natively you need do lot of tweaks and give up on features. First of all you cannot have direct 3d support since intel never provided offical drivers. Best free one I know is VBE9X. Second good one is Scitech display doctor. Also take note you will have very buggy audio using this hd audio driver. To have better audio I recommend buying cheap generic usb audio. Even my brand new sound blaster rage 2.0 wireless headset works oobe on win98SE using hid usb audio driver. For network no driver for your nic, you need look usb network adapter that got win98 drivers Then you will need RLoew ram patch to have windows 98 booting properly with over 1gb of ram, then you will need sata patch for sata hdd support. On some newer boards windows 98 will hang on blank screen even on emulated ide mode. If you want use achi mode you can use achi driver. You will also need lba48 patch and possibly 1tb patch to handle hdd on laptop. Those needs to be installed before booting from hdd for first time. Also set sata mode to ide/legacy during setup, copy files from cd to hdd to c:\windows\system\precopy (where atleast 98SE looks files first). Use md command to create that dir then run setup.exe /p i /im /is (skip memory check, scandisk and disable achi that is buggy on newer boards). Then apply patches, reboot to bios, change mode back to achi and hopefully it will boot. I have done it to newer hw just because I can and to prove it to be possible but user experience was horrible and lack of proper 3d and audio was deal breaker to me. For win98 laptop like dell d600 or d620 (If ati x300) would work better If you want go trough all that hassle and install Windows 98 because you can go ahead and do it. If you do not want I recommend listen @Gansangriffand use virtual machine. Vmware got decent win98 performance and audio, I run test vm on vmware to win98 stuff.
