boot.ini dot's color is arbitrarily set to black

I'm having a problem with establishing a TLS 1.3 connection on Windows 2000 with the lataest BWC extended kernel and New Moon on a laptop NVM I'm just stupid and expect the internet to work with wrong system clock.

This is on Intel GMA 3600 integrated with this CPU. No gpu acceleration is supported by the driver, so maybe you have to disable that? That Server 2003 screenshot was from vmware

Not sure lol. I just have it on my list of updates that I use for XP and 2003. If the installation fails on XP, then It means that it's probably not installed I guess I just needed it for Server 2003 for some reason at some point

Works for me on XP with just sp3, KB942288, wic x86, visual c++ (no POSReady updates) and 2003 sp2 with the same additional updates

To make it work with xp and 2003 you have to Download the installer Extract the installer with 7-zip Extract the installer which was inside the installer with 7-zip Extract the .7z archive which was inside the installer which was inside the installer with 7-zip Copy the progwrap.dll located outside of the secon installer to the same directory as main .exe file And then it should work Why such an extracting nonsense? Probably to still keep the project open-source and at the same time charge lazy non-tech experienced users for the premium installer on XP. Not a bad idea actually. As you can see fonts look ugly on XP and you can't access settings for them (not the case for Vista+). I actually prefer the way Pale Moon handles fonts in general compared to Chrome, so on XP I would rather recommend New Moon as main and Supermium as a secondary browser But the fact that it works at all is just amazing! Such a great project with such a terrible generic name And the icon as also not great, you can change which icon you see (at least outside of the program) by swapping the icon group in chrome.exe and chrome.dll

I am not completely sure if a link to the modded drivers would be allowed by the forum rules, but I guess the Reddit thread should be fine. https://old.reddit.com/r/WindowsVista/comments/19e1bxn/finally_got_vista_to_run_on_nvme_look_on_my_works/?rdt=36369

@66cats Does this driver actually work for you outside of vmware? If so which one is it exactly? EDIT Got that from a Reddit post, I assume it was you posting there :)

Yeah, but they are gonna replace them with privacy sandbox. So Google is like we won't let others track you, because we will and give gathered information away for a price instead

You can try to register using an an android emulator like Bluestacks or Nox. I attempted that about a year ago and it didn't work, but then it also didn't using a real android phone. Probably because I gave them a Czech phone number (they don't need registration) and Russians are really desperate about having your personal data.

Unfortunately your theme didn't work for me. Looks the same as the Vista default one. The package contains aero-black.theme and Aero (not Aero-black) folder so perhaps you uploaded vanilla one by accident

Automatic file permissions repairing .bat If you go for manual installation of the extended kernel you will have to fix file permissions for all files you have replaced. Now, instead of doing this manually, you can run the following .bat: October 2022 x64: october2022_x64_extended_kernel_set_permission.bat I may do .bats for newer versions too if errors in March 2023 builds get fixed. special thanks to @Bizzbob for figuring out language-neutral account names

Hi, does anyone know any M.2 slot WiFi & Bluetooth network cards that work with Windows Vista (officially or not)?

There is also Pale Moon Portable

You need to apply patches by @smeezekitty 32-bit 64-bit If you have extended kernel installed, use powrprof.dll from the extended kernel instead of the patched one.

Apparently someone has modified those drivers for Windows 7 and the are supposed to work on 8.1 too. https://winraid.level1techs.com/t/intel-uhd-graphics-630-video-driver-for-win7-x64/33098/353?u=moline I know nothing about them so use on your own risk.

Since Windows 8.0 .NET Framework are being installed using Windows Update .cab packages which are designed for specific OS builds and not build-neutral .msi installers. So it's kind of like with Windows 8.0 (both did't receive any update past 4.6.2) except that 8.0 had a Server equivalent with the same build number while 1511 does not. If you know how to install Windows updates on Windows version with different build numbers then please let me know, that would be a huge breakthrough! EDIT: Apparently this has already been achieved

No, more like 1-3%. I remember I've had a similar problem with a fresh Windows 8 installation where after like 5 minutes of idle time the "system" process would use 30% of CPU until you click a mouse button or do just about anything. It stopped the next day, so likely some kind of post-installation schedule thing.

Basically these are the key differences: Advantages of 1511 over 1607: Arguably better start menu layout and cortana in start menu search can be easly disabled Less strict driver signing requirements https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Windows-Hardware-Certification/Driver-Signing-changes-in-Windows-10-version-1607/ba-p/364894 so it should be easier to mod new nvidia drivers for this version. According to this article if you have disabled Secure Boot you are unaffected Disadvantages: No LTSB version .NET Framework 4 is limited to 4.6.2. Most developers have already moved to .NET 5+ versions which do work. I haven't done any performance tests

Version 119 still works on Threshold 2 (1511) is it is and can be modded to work on 1507

Yes, It looks like it can be easily patched for 1507 too (idk for how long as this post was about 118)

I also don't install those Windows Update updates, maybe I used a wrong terminology but 1511 is to 1507 what 8.1 is to 8.0, just with much less changes

1511 was a minor update to 1507 (not beta) and that's what I have available right now. I guess it introduced that one function needed for Chromium. While the chromium team is then inconsequential in supporting all Windows 10 (supported by MS) versions, at least they have Server 2016 specifically listed on the website with no deprecation date scheduled. OP's preferred version was 1607 (same as Server 2016).

Chromium 119 still works on Threshold2 (1511) Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2015 based on the original RTM of Windows 10 is going to be supported till October 2025 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/windows-10-2015-ltsb So if the chromium devs keep supporting what M$ does, then you have 2 another years. And also it doesn't look like they are going to drop Server 2016 very soon https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/7100626?hl=en

No it's another name for x64 architecture which was first created by AMD and later adopted by Intel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64 The Intel64 aka ia64 stands for Intel Itanium CPUs which were discontinued, so modern 64-bit ones are all AMD64
