@win32, the specialist of Windows Vista Extended Kernel, also should be here, and contribute this topic...

Do you mean the version that the control panel window looks like this?: Yes, that one worked perfectly, but I hate it! Because that version of Intel HD 4000 slows PCSX2 down drastically and makes the Windows 8.1 and 10 VM in VirtualBox visually inoperable at all after installing the Guest Additions with D3D!!!

The driver is installed successfully, but causes windows aero and most other programs that require D3D, or even the control panel itself to crash (BEX64, code 0xc0000005) until I disable that driver from Device Manager or get rid of igdumdim64.dll from System32 folder and igdumdim32.dll from SysWOW64 folder. The control panel looks like this:

Try using Windows Vista Extended Kernel OS with NTOSKRNL Emu_Extender.

Does it fix the new version of Intel HD Graphics 4000 driver bug for Windows Vista Extended Kernel?

@win32 Could you please add the support for the color emojis like in Windows 8.1 and 10? I installed the emoji font file picked from the fully updated Windows 10 computer (you can try download from https://anonfiles.com/U384l078yc/seguiemj_ttf and install it). But outside of Firefox browser, the emojis are displayed only in black and white...

Just search "NTOSKRNL Emu_Extender" in MSFN

Use NTOSKRNL Emu_Extender and compile it for Vista (from Windows 7 VM or another computer running W7.) And modify the target .sys file import section by renaming ntoskrnl.exe to ntoskrn8.sys using CFF Explorer. Don't forget to always disable the driver signature enforcement from the F8 boot menu every startup.

Try using NTOSKRNL Emu_Extender and compile the ntoskrn8.sys for Vista And you have to edit the target .sys file's import directory from CFF Explorer by renaming "ntoskrnl.exe" to "ntoskrn8.sys" Don't forget to always use "Disable driver signature enforcement" F8 boot option every startup

But I hate the old versions of Intel HD 4000 drivers (which have dark color accent of the control panel window) because of the slowdowns in PCSX2 and glitchy screen in Windows 8.1/10 VM in VirtualBox!

I tried installing the latest version of Intel HD 4000 driver on Windows Vista extended kernel using NTOSKRNL Emu_Extender, and it worked successfully, but it causes most other apps crashing, even the aero theme won't work and the Intel HD control panel itself won't open...

@win32 Please add these following functions into ntoskrnl.exe (for build 6002 and 6003): wcscpy_s IoUnregisterPlugPlayNotificationEx strcpy_s strcat_s vsprintf_s _vsnprintf_s KeSetCoalescableTimer strnlen _snprintf_s swprintf_s sprintf_s memcpy_s

Also, Rufus 3.17 or newer (installer and portable version) are just like the Audacity installers, even with OS version spoofing, but without the error sound

But for VS 2012, 2013, 2015, or 2017? Is it only happened on Vista?

And Visual Studio 2010 has some problems with .NET Framework 4.8. Since I installed it, I cannot use VS2010 anymore with an error message "The operation could not be completed"

No, now the 64-bit version is available since version 3.x.x

Also, it cannot run Rufus 3.17 or newer even with OS version spoofing

@win32 Is there still support for build 6002?

It just doesn't run at all, with error sound, but no error/crash message and then the Audacity installer process disappears immediately from Task Manager

still not work even with OS version spoofing... It only works with the portable "Zip" version of the latest Audacity versions... but I want the installer instead of portable version...

@win32 Please also add the support for Audacity 3.x.x x64 versions installers

All 32-bit Windows operating systems are indeed limited to 2GB RAM only. 32-bit Vista OS is not currently supported on this topic.

Does Intel HD Graphics 4000 driver version 9.18 or newer support Windows Vista Extended Kernel?

Can Windows Vista Extended Kernel run GTA V?

@win32 please add Intel AVX support for Windows Vista Extended Kernel
