  1. I know these CPUs are not popular, let alone of people getting them and installing Windows 7 , but for any of you who might have core ultra cpu , how does win7 run ? I have heard that board manufacturers are removing CSM support , but not sure if this is true, and if so what brands would be removing it exactly .

    How's FPS in games? That driver branch is 4 years old.

    Why no ray tracing, no Physx?

    No idea why theres no ray tracing , because it works. I dont really play games and these are the newest modded drivers I could find that works with the 30 series on 8.0

    I preffer DRM free. No hassle there.

    Lucky for myself, I hardly play games anymore anyway. Not enough time to. And the only game I am really interested in is Doom 3, which will run on Windows 2000 and up. I really wish I could daily drive 2000 again, but I would want to do it without the extended kernel. If only someone would port Mypal or something back to vanilla 2000...

  4. So my laptop has 7 and server 2016 dual booted, and I booted to the 2016 install, and appearantly the October 2nd build switched to Chromium 126, which means no more updates for stock 7 and 8.x, but at least Valve is not actively forcing the update on people's machines if they are running 7 or 8.x, as far as I know.

    well bad news everyone.. from recent youtube videos I've watched recently (from early september) there has been reports that the server 2012 updates on have since been entirely blocked from installing on windows 8 and making then completely unusable anymore.. microsoft released somekind of past end of support update to patch the registry function that allowed this so they can't run anymore  

    I am sure someone will figure some other way to get the updates ported sooner or later. I wouldn't worry too much

    I ended up forcing the driver in a crude way, just for the purpose of seeing if it could work at all. I edited the inf file to change basically all of the hardware IDs in certain areas and enabled Test Signing mode. It successfully installed, but it was basically unusable. Pretty sure that RTX Laptop GPU being compatible with Windows 7 was a big lie from Nvidia, or a sloppy misfiling.

    I do still wonder about if anyone has gotten any RTX 30 series laptop GPU running at all on Windows 7. This experience has also made me question whether or not a 3090 TI will actually run on Windows 7, though I think I have seen someone on reddit claiming that they have that working on Windows 7.

    Oh well, I didn't have any touchpad drivers to make the touchpad on that laptop work on Windows 7 anyway.

    I have a Zotac amp extreme holo 3090 ti and threadripper 7960x on 7. 474.11 driver which is the last one that doesn't need test mode. It works perfectly.

    the interface on Windows 95 was faster. At least it had visible scroll bars that didn't require hovering over to make appear.

    The interface was far better AND windows 95 was far faster in general, and no BS. If only it had support for multiple cpus and was under NT

  8. So an issue I am having is I am trying to run 2000 on my 9900k and asus maximus xi hero and obviously acpi wont work so I had to use mps mode. The issue I am having is that in mps multiprocessor mode my pcie ethernet adapter is not detected, while in standard pc mode it is. I even tested it by installing my network card in standard pc mode, and I had an internet connection. But when I switched to MPS Multiprocessor, I lost my internet connection and would not detect my ethernet card (or my nec usb card) again. I really dont want standard pc mode because then I can only use 1 core, I am not sure if there is a bios setting I need to change, my i3 9100f and gigabyte b365m-ds3h rig works fine with mps the ethernet is detected properly

  9. Hello,

    I used the April 17, 2023 x64 ACPI driver to install XP x64 on my Intel 9900K and ASUS Maximus XI Hero WiFi board, and I was able to install it fine, however I have a huge problem where basically every browser I use (with the exception of Internet Explorer) loads up fine, but then it goes really slow and even hangs. The only thing I could really think of is to disable hardware acceleration completely, but it still doesnt work. The browser will freeze, and I cannot type in anything within the browser or click on anything. I have tried Mypal, Serpent, Basilisk, older versions of Firefox, and Supermium, both 32 and 64 bit, and it is having issues on here and on other machines where I use the modded ACPI. I have even tried the April 6th one and a few others, and the machines where I was able to use the stock ACPI for XP x64 these same browsers worked completely fine, and even with the modded ACPI for x86 from around the same time does not seem to have this issue. Do you have any ideas as to how to fix this?

    Thanks

    Windows 11 has severe identity crisis. I don't mind non-tweaked Win10 as much, but Win11 is seriously annoying. The context menus, the crippled taskbar...

    Late Win10 and all of 11 has been horrible. Even early to mid 10 is only decent, and that is when you use server 2016/2019

    Thank you for bringing this up! This always irked me too. I always ended up disabling the display driver helper service after setting up dual monitors.

    Edit: You WILL need to brute force the INF file in order to work as Blackwingcat does, otherwise it will tell you there is no file that contains any information on your hardware, so it pretends not to see it

    However, last official drivers? Which drivers are you using? I'm just curious. As I was poking around tonight, I discovered a gem, a very interesting gem that even Blackwingcat doesn't have on his blog. While he may have unofficial drivers on his site, I found a very recent (um, 9 years ago recent lol :crazy: ) NVIDIA driver that actually DOES officially support Windows 2000.

    https://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp-257.21-whql-driver.html
    https://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp-258.96-whql-driver.html (Discovered after posting this, true last official NVIDIA Windows 2000 release)

    Really? An official 2xx.xx driver from NVIDIA? Why, yes it is! How many people know about this? If you have a Quadro, you're in even better position for a newer driver!

    https://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/25619/en-us

    Whaaaaaa????? An OFFICIALLY LISTED Windows 2000 driver!!!! However, it only lists Quadros as supported and NOT GeForce. The files are a bit smaller in this release as well but it leaves me wondering if we can break into these drivers and mod them to support newer things.

    I think I'm a lot more impressed by the GeForce/Quadro release. And no, there is no need for unofficial kernels either, it works on vanilla Win2k.These gems are hard to find because of the way the driver search works, it really doesn't want you to find these older drivers, nor are they even on the older archive page. So I'd really suggest grabbing it while you can before it so happens to disappear. The best card these drivers can support are a GTX 480 which I don't think is anything at all to sneeze at. And yes, it supports dual monitors out of the box too. :D

    Release 260.89 seems to be the first Windows XP exclusive driver, but interestingly enough keeps the win2kdualview in its driver file, so *it* may still work with a little bit of brute force.

    Edit: The INF file will not work without modding it like Blackwingcat does. Add/remove hardware complains there's no file that contains information on your hardware, like it pretends it doesn't exist. If I wasn't so happy with my current installation, I'd totally try it out. Maybe someone else with a sandbox wants to try it out? Heck, it's so close and supports all the same hardware, you could probably just copy the INF file from 258.96 and edit the header information for the 260.89 release and it would possibly still work? Although it seems to be the first driver pack that has the "new" layout in files/folders.

    No joke, no mods, straight off NVIDIA's website. :thumbup

    Since the 500 series cards are still technically Fermi , could those cards work with the 258.96 driver if they were added ?

    I'll have to research into that. But I ended up having to reinstall because "something" corrupted my last Win2000 install so badly that I couldn't even get the recovery console to find it. So I dunno what happened. But I decided to not install the X-Fi card drivers this time and just go ahead and install the Realtek drivers. This is what I ended up with.

    I left the whole thing in because I do have my dual monitors working and I'm also playing audio right now via WMP11. It IS working.

    I am going to look for Server sound card software. I never thought about Server/Consumer grade versions of Windows and support for >4GBs. That's some great thinking!

    Now some more interesting follies. I stayed away from some of the later versions of Extended Core because videoprt.sys was flawed and would not allow for dual monitors to work, this was especially true in version 16a. For fun, I downloaded version 16d, which Blackwingcat only released in Japanese for some reason, and opened it up to poke in the files. I took notice that videoprt.sys was slightly newer in this release and language neutral. So I replaced the file included in 16a with the one in 16d and reinstalled the 16a package. Low and behold, dual monitors work. It was that single flawed file that actually was updated but not for an English release that prevents dual monitors from working. Then again, how many others but me here use dual monitors on Windows 2000? :whistle:

    I use 2 1080p monitors with my i3 9100f gtx 460 rig, with the 258.96 driver !

    UEFI support isn't even complete on XP/2003 32bit. Some drivers(USB3.x, eMMC, etc...) from Win7/8 are successfully backported to XP(thanks to NTOSKRNL_EMU project), but it requires a lot of modification to run in Win2K. It won't be easy.

    I know it won't be easy, but with time and if the community helps out it can probably work out !

  14. @blackwingcat When you start working on the extended kernel v3.2 these are some things that could possibly be added to it (some people on reddit came up with this list):

    Functional Rufus 2.18 (to allow creating bootable USB flash drives on Windows 2000)

    Allow MiniChrome 87, 360Chrome 12.0 & 13.5 (based on Chromium 86), and XPChrome (based on Chromium 115) to function and work properly without any crashing/problems on Windows 2000 (even with Extended Kernel).

    Keyboard bugfix (to allow the keyboard to function) for PCEM v17 on Windows 2000

    Latest zoom version for Windows XP (with working screen share) on Windows 2000

    Windows Live Essentials 2009 (fully works)

    Windows Powershell 2.0

    Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 (without crashing) on Windows 2000 (CS4 loads on 2000 currently, but then when I create a project it crashes)

    GPT disk + UEFI support (ported from XP/32 bit 2003?)

     

     

    Also, for the Extended Core v1.7:

     

    Support up to 2TB of RAM on the server editions, or at least 128GB on 2000 Pro (2TB on all versions should be fine)

    Working VMware Workstation 10.0.7 / VMware Player 6.0.7 drivers

    Working VirtualBox 5.2.44 drivers

    Working newer USB ethernet / wireless network adapters (that required Windows XP SP2/SP3)

    Working Avast Antivirus 18.8.2356 kernel drivers (that required XP SP3)

    Add USB 3.0+USB 3.1+USB 3.2, and NVMe support for Intel/AMD and other manufacturer motherboards

     

    Could this be done eventually? Thank you
