Hi , windows update doesnt work anymore , that's right , but no one is standing between you and manual update , right ? I have VCRedist 2005 - 2015 , NET 4.5.1 and DX11 installed without any troubles , you don't need to instal any updates for them to work , you just need to update certificates, there is plenty of info on this marvellous forum regarding this issue. I hope some veteran members will give you the direct link.

So the whole 32GB will be available ? Nice ... This topic is about experience , I have had the most pleasant experience with Vista SP1 , perhaps you know , is there a chance to implement DX11 to it ? Thanks

It was a pretty common/popular motherboard in 2011/2012 . And , actually , nothing weird , except that I very much doubt they ever sold Vista Ultimate ! OEM ! with that motherboard made in 2011.

I'm not sure I understand , I have 3.6 GB fully usable on one mobo with DDR3 and 4GB on another mobo with DDR2 , wuthout any patches with ordinary x86 Vista SP1 . What exactly does this patch do ? Is there a direct link to the patch ?

No , like I said mine are not working . The only working games is where mono has a lower version from 2017 . I even tried to place your files in the folder with mono-2.0-bdwgc.dll. You said mono is .NET, will installing .NET 4.6 solve the problem ? I really don't wanna try in vain because I remember my last experience with 4.6.1 wasn't good, half of the programs went nuts , esp. video players. Edit : Oh , and I even have one game with new mono which shows the same error , like chromium 72 : "This application failed to initialize properly (0xc000007b).Click OK to terminate." Others show plain and simple "can't load mono".

At least now I know why most of you have such long boot time , I too have it after this KB4467700. It is nowhere near yours (40 sec.), but it went up from 11-16 to approx 22. Updates are truly evil.

Found info regarding games having the exact same error on Win7."This application failed to initialize properly (0xc000007b).Click OK to terminate." And they point to VCRedist 2008. Sorry , posted in reply to myself.

Have you tried any games that use "MonoBleedingEdge" ? There are plenty of them now , even though the main executable doesn't have anything against Vista , that dreaded "mono" won't load . The error "can't load mono" , that's it . Adding files isn't helping.

Honestly , I think Chrome is not needed when we have 360 , Chrome has sooo much telemetry alone, even without added Chinese prying eyes , I see no reason to use it without removing it first . I mean , let's say I found some time to sit and edit it , then I'll better add some more time to remove it from 360 and be with a much faster and convenient browser. It's not that I like it, it's just I'm choosing between these evils. I don't like anything modern at all. Besides , Chinese working for Google , aren't they ?

And in my , worked . But with DXVA files , not related to this project. By the way , check your inbox.

I've searched this error , some say it is related to VCRedist 2008 absence , strange , I have them both - x86 and x 64. I wasn't going to use that old chrome , anyway.

Installed , didn't help, all the same . Also added VCRedist from 2005 to 2015 x86 and x 64. Perhaps redirection is a no go ?

Hello , I've finished testing this one from your link , well ... no luck . First off , I had your old files from the video , with them nothing happens , just silence. Then a kind soul provided me with the newest ones and this chromium 72 started to show only one error "This application failed to initialize properly (0xc000007b).Click OK to terminate." I have bare SP2 , but I installed some updates , just in case . Platform update , DX11 , Framework 4.5.2 , the same error happens.

No , those are good , esp. when running certain games, besides they are pretty popular among people who work with graphics , DDS and the such, take a look at first gen. Titan prices , still over 250 Euros for a card which is almost 8 y.o.

Oh , thanks for the info , yet another reason to not purchase new cards from Nvidia . I decided to boycott them when they removed 16x and 32x CSAA for no apparent reason and without warnings.

Hi . Do you have any issues with D3D ? What driver ?

What do I have to do to reach such long boot times ? I've tried Vista on many systems , and it is usually like 5 - 16 seconds. And that is on mechanical HDDs. WD Raptor , WD Black , etc . My friend runs Vista on Haswell and the boot time is 5 seconds. Those 30+ seconds seems fair only for 2007 year laptops with slow HDDs. Also , I noticed Vista prefer WD and HGST over Seagate , just my to cents, from my experience.

I think quite alot of people here do , including me. I use SP2 for internet PC and SP1 for gaming . Never installed any updates and still alive. Though, there are some I couldn't avoid , like framework 4.0 and DX11.

Sounds interesting , thanks , I'll try later . Have you ever come around VRAM limitation ? I tried to install Vista x86 (for gaming , without SP) and many games had troubles with videocards if their VRAM was more than 4GB , games were somehow limited to the amount reported by DXDIAG and had stutters . It's like with Vista SP1 a game can use , say 3GB , without SP it only reaches 1.2GB max and then starts to use system RAM DDR3 (terrible freezes). Edit : Tested with Nvidia's Titan , things got even worse , awful stutters with games when reaching 450-500mb only !

No , Vista can use all 4GB. But some motheboards reserve space for internal graphics, even though you have a discrette card. Hence you get something like 3.5 or maybe more . Though I came across some MOBOs where one can switch off the internal graphics completely and enjoy all 4GB , they are very rare and most them are DRR2 era.

What do you mean ? 32bit Vista can use all 4GB . I had 3.86 available for the system (some was reserved by the MOBO)

It's because you don't use Nvidia . Their drivers will add some time to the boot , at least on my second PC with GTX980. Without Nvidia it's like 5-6 seconds , with , 6-7 sec.

I had started using Vista in 2007, right at the very beginning, when it became available at stores. I bought a new PC, made by Siemens in Germany , with preinstalled Vista x86. Processor Core Quad q6600 , 4GB DDR2 RAM and it ran Vista so blazingly fast , of course I had supefetch disabled. Vista seemed nice overall, but the white background drove me nuts , my eyebals coudn't stand it and I went back to Windows 2000 for some time , then I returned (when dark themes became available). I never upgraded to any newer Windows and not going to. I tried Windows 7 , Windows 8 , they were slow and ugly (I'm sorry if someone don't like this, but that's my opinion) , besides all later Windows have terrible sound quality ! They look and sound cheap (again, to my own tastes as a customer).

There's something wrong , it shouldn't be that long . On my system it's like 11-16 seconds. I have Xeon X5440 and DDR3 16GB , HDD WD Raptor 500GB SuperFetch and indexing disabled , of course . Wanted to ask , in my event viewer I'm being bombarded with Terminal service messages because I removed remoting from ISO. How to stop it ? "Registering with ... The specified service does not exist as an installed service , retry in ten minute" Yes "minute" , not "minutes" . Seems like non native speakers working at MS... Edit: Perhaps your uptime is too long because of the updates ? Updates are evil , I have an absolutely clean SP2 , told ya. Oh , and SP1 loads even faster , like 6-7 seconds on my second PC. Windows 7 (without updates) loads much longer , don't remember the exact number, but much , much slower than Vista .

Well , I would've try , but it's not making any sense now . 72 is old already. Besides ,what are the features of plain chrome , Opera has hide IP (at least). Besides , I'm still fighting for DTS HD , kinda busy . Perhaps I will try later and inform you.
