I don't know about myths, but for some reason, in 2025 on Microsoft official website there's an system requirements page. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/minimum-system-requirements-for-halo-combat-evolved-4fca8017-47a1-7c35-5fef-7831cc3f913c There it says that Windows 2000 is supported OS.

Yeah I think I'm sure that it is my Windows installation being corrupted in the Users and Security properties. Something is horribly wrong on system32 even though it installed all updates, have installed Avast AV and DirectX9... Currently on very short hiatus because of college starting in my country, but i think on the weekends i will try sfc /scannow command on cmd, and see whether my predictions were true...

So, i converted the FAT32 into NTFS. Then i checked ownership, and as I've thought, it was set not to my username, DusanVicic, but to Administrators (it is hidden, accessible only though Safe Mode i think). I transferred ownership from Administrators to DusanVicic, and with 4 or 5 folder restriction errors, everything was changed to my user. I tried to run Visual C++ 2010, and... nope. I still have that error... The only problem remaining is the read only attribute. When i tried to uncheck it, it's only showing that it is unchecked until i close the properties, the next time i open it, it comes back as checked. How to make it permanent?

Dave to the rescue!!! Yes... For compatibility, i did formatted C: drive to FAT32, and the rest of the drives are NTFS. If i change C from FAT32 to NTFS would that work?

I've just realized that I've probably found the problem.... On Visual C++ 2010 it says: The Temp folder is on a drive that is full or is inaccessible. Free up space on the drive of verify that <b> you have write permission on the TEMP folder </b>. So, i started looking up around %temp% folder. It's read-only. Plus, i think i've found another problem. When you have to enable Security options on the folder, you must go to Folder options and uncheck Use simple file sharing (Recommended). Now the tricky part is that on any folder on the second and third partition of the HDD it shows the Security tab when i click Properties. BUT NOT ON THE C:\ FOLDER! Including the %TEMP% folder. Any ideas?

Nope, tried that and it doesn't work... In my opinion, it has to do to some hidden Group Policy setting that wasn't properly set up while XP was installing, I'm sure of it.

Added on Administrator and on DusanVicic full controls, restarted the system, AND started with admin rights the Reader XI setup. Then this happens. Even though I've already got admin rights, and it was the first OS out of 7 and 10, shows this error... Great, just great.... And it happens with other setups also.

Yes, XP is 32bit, for your consideration, and i forgot that my Celeron on G580 supports 64bit... I downloaded your version of 32bit NET. 4 Framework and it still showed that error. And yes, Visual C++ 2010, Reader XI, Office 2007 and NET. 4 doesn't work at all... I think it has to do with admin access thing... %TEMP% folder is clean tho... And yes, i have an DusanVicic admin username already...

never knew about that, but nope, it still shows that same error.

YES, it is that same laptop. Celeron version... - _- I think i forgot to include that info down there... Gotta edit that...

Thanks for the advice, I've had that Mypal version downloaded offline and i was settings up the XP,, so i probably forgot to update it. I think that's non SSE2 version.

https://www.sendspace.com/filegroup/zRe3f114VAgyKaXdgQ51nuNCul9JqKRa (this link is valid for 30 days i think) There are some screenshots that I've shot on the phone, for some reason i can't write message properly on Mypal 29...

So I've decided to finally try to install Windows XP on Lenovo G580. Because i had some problems with newer software, i had to do via WINSetupfromUSB. Figured it out second time by pressing F6 and installing SATA/AHCI Intel drivers. For triple boot, i'm planning to use 3 partitions. 1st is 32GB FAT32 for XP (compatibility), other two are NTFS for Windows 7 and for trying the 10. Drivers were a bit of pain to install, but i did it with other ways. Problem is that when i tried to install Visual C++ 2010 Redist, i found out about this error written on the title of the thread. Then it happened again when i tried to install Office 2007 Enterprise, ANY version of NET. Framework, Adobe Reader XI and some XPS Essentials pack. At least i have the wireless functionality enabled... I think it looks like i have problems with folder permissions and the TEMP folder being full (it happens even after i run %TEMP% and empty the files in the folder), but i will say that i haven't installed all updates for SP3. For any precautions, I've stopped doing any upgrade until i figure out why does it happens now, when i didn't really had problems with that thing... Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. 👍 P. S. I couldn't insert some screenshots directly, but when i did some additional work i will pull some screenshots from the machine itself.

Discord on Mypal 68.14.2b works like a charm, while Firefox ESR and Chrome 49 browsers went full white while trying to load Discord web version. I suppose that Supermium works perfectly...
