[(solved) how do i install the modded nvidia drivers?]

Use the nv_dispi driver if it gives you a warning about it not being digitally signed click the install button

 

just installed nv_dispi.inf, the installation seemed to go smoothly but upon a restart i'm now getting a "windows failed to start" error with the error code "0xc000000f".

i'm not entirely sure if it's relevant, but i'm using uefiseven version 1.30 to boot my copy of vista alongside arch linux, so maybe that's causing an issue? it might not be though, i'm not entirely sure

nevermind the boot issue (windows randomly overwrote uefiseven for some reason), but now windows is throwing me another issue, that being the driver not actually loading properly. device manager now lists my gpu properly as a 1050 ti, but gives me a yellow warning icon next to that and "error 39" in the details menu. then again, windows was throwing out an error about the gpu even with the standard vga drivers, so i don't think it's exclusive to nvidia's

[(solved) how do i install the modded nvidia drivers?]

i might be absolutely retarded, but i can't for the life of me figure out how to install the modded nvidia drivers for vista (specifically version 378.66 off of the extended kernel website). running either NvContainerSetup.exe or NvCplSetupInt.exe gives me a uac prompt, followed by the programs terminating instantly. and there's so many .inf files that, if i have to install it manually through the device manager, i have no clue which one i should select.

i know it's a bit of a dumb question, but how on earth do i get this driver installed?

edit: just installed the extended kernel, and now the drivers work perfectly

You have TaskbarX or some other conflicting stuff

yup, it was open-shell that was causing the issue, thanks for the info

[startallback on windows 11 (21H2) has 2 start buttons???]

for some reason, startallback doesn't disable the original windows 11 start button, meain that whenever you hover over it, there's a 50/50 chance that either startallback button is selected:

or the original start button is selected:

i've tried some programs that disable the start button (start killer, startisgone), but they cause THIS to happen:

any help would be greatly appreciated, as i can't find anyone else on the internet complaining about this issue

 

edit: seems to only be an issue with "enhanced classic taskbar" selected. still annoying, seeing as the regular taskbar in w11 is garbage.
