Went down to Opera 42 , nothing works , now without any errors , just won't start at all . Someone here using Opera ? Oh. and Chromium ungoogled 84 , 85 , 86 won't launch at all too , those files din't help ... Someone here using Chromium ungoogled ? I can't stand Firefox (just my preference, sorry). It's not that I'm a fan of chrome , just chose between the two evils. Thanks

Hi , 1 - the “manual update” I did from these official links supplied by MS. http://ctldl.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3/static/trustedr/en/authrootstl.cab http://ctldl.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3/static/trustedr/en/disallowedcertstl.cab It added some , but too few. And, yes , I also did the update from the post you linked a long time ago. It helped a bit , yet “the browser” still asks for more certificates . 2 - “the browser” is 36O Explorer with manually removed telemetry from the original (yes, I do not trust patches and russian repacks). It is based on Chromium 86 with TLS 1.3 and works fine with Vista , much faster than Chromium 86 on Win7. Also, I manually blocked almost all tracking features like "safebrowsing" and a ton of various IPs.

Thank you very much , really appreciate.

Hi , I've tried x64 Chromium ungoogled 84 , 85 , 86 and nothing happens , yep that's right , no errors shown. Also , I've tried some games with this method with zero luck . For example, games with "mono" engine simply tell : cannot load mono. Others just quit in silence, like their process shown for a sec., then quits. By the way , could you please tell me where to read about certificates updating . Much appreciated ! Edit , I had a manual update from MS links done, still the browser tells I don't have the needed certs.

Thanks for the quick reply , both versions (32 and 64bit) won't launch . They are just giving different errors , x64 bit shows : SHAssocEnumHandlersForProtocolByApplication not found in shell32.dll And no , I'm not trying the latest versions . It's Opera 60 and earlier. Edit : maybe the patched files are old , but I don't know where to find their newer versions...

Hello , sadly it didn't work with Opera , I did all aforementioned steps , rebooted , yet it still wants TryAcquireSRWLockExclusive. I even tried older versions , like 60 . I'm using extended files dated July 2020, from the known youtube video.

Yes, you're right , indeed. Though Vista's device manager says only ksthunk.sys and nvhda64v.sys are being used for HD audio. In my previous posts I wrote about not being able to play any HD audiotracks using Vista SP2 (bypass thru HDMI) , it allows bypass for DTS / DD5.1 only. Weird , right ?

Compared W7 to Vista HD drivers , W7 has more ot them (6 to be precise). drmk.sys (DRM related ?) ksthunk.sys nvhda64v.sys portcls.sys nvhdagenco6420103.dll nvhdap64.dll Ans Vista has only two: ksthunk.sys nvhda64v.sys

Hi , so if it's not much changed , it makes no sense to replace it, right ? I'm just afraid of replacing Vista's files , because the sound might get worse overall . One of the reasons I reject all later windows - awful sound quality . Could this be DRM related ? Yet again , the same problem exists in XP (only DTS stereo avaible). What I did today : I've found an updated SP2 ISO (to December 2015). Should be much newer than Win7 RTM 2009 , right ? )) So I installed it ... and guess what - all the same ! Then I took a long breath and installed it on my friend's similar hardware , same too. Then I added "playback devices/supported formats" , registry entries from W7 , now it lets me choose DTS-HD and TrueHD , then I installed PowerDVD and it also lets me choose "HD uncompressed audio" in it's settings , but as soon as I start to play DTS-HD file , it reverts to ordinary bypass setting, I mean DTS (not HD). So one can safely assume : it has nothing to do with updates and/or "playback devices/supported formats" settings , it's a much deeper problem, perhaps Vista isn't capable of playing HD audio at all ,which I find strange. I also find a bit strange that no info could be found ... Edit: Also, not a hardware problem (definitely)

I have nvhda64v.sys. Okay , could this be the system's own limitation ? Something in the ksthunk.sys ? When I open the device manager , it says ksthunk.sys and nvhda64v.sys are the drivers for Nvidia HD audio. Also , forgot to mention , TrueHD is not available too , but I don't care about it since I don't like how it sounds , I only need DTS HD MA.

Hi, yes , HD audio (bypass through HDMI to receiver). I've tried all drivers starting from May 2013 and up to 372.70. Right now I have 344.60 installed and will leave it be for some time. I've tried almost all available drivers using both Vista and 7 - the result is the same, no DTS HD MA with Vista , could this be an artificial block which happens upon the installation ? Maybe the installer writing smth to the registry ? I'm just guessing ... If I check with with the panel "playback devices/supported formats" , there are only DTS and DD5.1, so I tried to add registry entries from W7 , now it says DTS-HD also , but it doesn't help to bypass the sound. All Video players I've tried still force DTS HD to be played as usual DTS. I remember there was a similar problem with XP , it had limitations to support "DTS stereo" only . I'm not sure who to blame , Nvidia clearly says DTS HD MA is available with GTX780.

Hello all , I have a question regarding Nvidia drivers . To be brief : I have GTX780 which has 100% support in Vista, however I can't get DTS HD MA passthrough to my receiver , the reciever also supports DTS HD MA . No matter what I do (tried all drivers, etc) , only ordinary DTS and DD5.1 are available through Vista. If I install W7 (not changing any hardware) - the problem is gone ! Of course I'm not going to use W7 , obvioulsy . I've tried to install Vista SP2 on my friend's similar hardware - the result is the same. If it's not enough info , I will gladly explain in details. Perhaps someone had already been that road . Thank you .

Hello , I've been observing this topic for quite some time. First of all , I really admire your work , it's fantastic ! Some may not believe , but I'm still running UNpatched Vista x64 SP2 and haven't had any issues. The only update I have is DX11 for gaming. And yes , there's still a good number of Vista users. May I ask, if you have the modded files for virgin SP2 . I just wanted to try to launch some games that require missing APIs. Perhaps if someone will kindly give me the patched ISO , I'll also try to test , but for now the vanilla SP2 files are enough for me. Thank you !! P.S. Wanted to ask/suggest . Any plans to make something like zernel35 , like they did for XP ? Messing with system files isn't for everyone (I guess). I've managed to launch some unsupported programmes just by adding/hooking new DLL's in their folders, sadly I lack advanced programming skills , like you. About Haswell , there are no errors if running x86 , none at all !
