Mark-XP

(Not only an exceptional Developer, @Dietmar seems to have a fine sense of humor too!)

For i211 this one did work with XP/32 on my rig: https://www.techspot.com/drivers/driver/file/information/15828/

Sorry, it was already commented above...

or eax, eax - what does that do? Is this ment to initialize the Flags OF, CF or modify the SF, ZF, PF Flag!

Interesting: i in contrary did expand the nvhdci.inf because there i found an existing 710 entry, just copied it and replaced the appropriate device-id. Worked nicely!

Thank you @AstroSkipper, so i'll give Aomei PAssist a try when having this task the next time!

@bluebolt (or anyone else who knows): is Aomei PAssist capable to copy/clone a partition (from one disk) to another existing partition (of a second disk)? Tanks!

Indeed, it's mentioned there , parameter is "--no-remote", Is there any difference to "-no-remote" as specified by mozilla (and used by me since ever)?

It shouldn't be a problem to find latest Intel's Lan driver's for Win7 eg. with google. I utilized this here from Gigabyte - version 20.7 works well.

It seems that i am now - 8 years later - confronted with this crap: To get more out of my new motherboard's Realtek 1150 codec i decided to install the WDM driver 2.74 (same as on XP) to replace 7's standard driver (because i noticed that on XP music sounds significantly better...) Now this is what then started to happen sporadically playing music (winamp 2.91): audiodg.exe is turnig to consume up to 15% of CPU for about of minute Afterwards it calms down again: the attack has consumpted 50 CPU-seconds and is behaving normal maybe for the next half hour: Although imo no memory leak at all - 15 MB seem to be quite regular: I'm going to decide this weekend if i can accept that crappy behaviour...

Congratulations @SEDANEH! Now you may consider to get a nice GTX 980 to substitute the 710 in your rig and try to break the 24.000 Points record in 3Dmark2001 of these guys here (with a i9-12900K @ 6.9 GHz. ;)

The latest nvidia generation with official XP support is the 9xx (driver) though some enthusiast report to be able running a GTX 10xx (without 3d accelaration) by hacking the .inf friver files... (edit: link)

Yes, and it's a shame imo: No possibilty to force a suitable interpolated 1440x900 resolution with the integrated intel hd 530 grafics for an old but valuable Eizo S2110W Monitor: The native 1680x1050 is far too small; the offered standard 1280x1024 and 1024x768 inerpolations are kind of useless. What i've tried so far and did not work: - Martin Brinkmann's Custom Display Resolution Utility (XP doesn't support EDID overrides) - The command line utility QRes (mentioned here) - The HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\VIDEO hack - The Universal VBE Video Display Driver (2015 Version: VBE20, VBE30) that @Dietmar tried on his beloved HP 255 g6 It feels a bit like a sacrilege to add that old 28nm GT-710 (Sorry godfather Kepler) onto my 14nm Skylake rig which runs so godly energy efficient without external grafics. If anyone here knows another approach to enforve a cusom resolution on XP ... Edit: FWiW: a GT-710 vs HD 530 comparison

Is it this one here? If so: did you use a "logged or debuged" as described in the troubleshooting section ?

@Dietmar, so you're distressing yourself with a notebook that shows errors in Win7 _and_ was "moderate performing and cheap production which left much to be desired" (with an even higher perfomance R4!) - when it was new (in german)? That seems to be a very diligent and academic work for me...

@Dietmar what about booting in rescue mode with VGA resolution?

Btw: directly under the 'Open with" entry in the ContextMeny there's entry which i'd translate like "Restore predecessor versions" ("Vorgängerversionen wiederherstellen" in German). Since i deaktivated all ,shadow-technics' in my 7 environment this entry is rather useless and i'd like to remove it from the ContexMenu. What is it's name in english? Did anyone here remove that successfully? Edit: it seems to be "previous versions" and NirSoft's ShellExView should be the tool of the choice,

Hello @Dibya, first please some clarifications: - E1000E is the name of the Linux driver for a class of Intel® Gigabit Network NiCs (like th i219). - NetadapterCx is the ,modern' MS driver-model for Win10 and later (in contrary to older ndis-model). - The approach that you refer to above (https://github.com/coolstar/if_re-win) is an (NDIS-type?) wrapper ,around' the NetadapterCx-driver (in that case for a Realtec NiC) compatible with Win-XP (/2000 /Vista). - Your plan now is to write such a wrapper around NetadapterCx-driver for i219. I presume you're mentioning the (linux) e1000e above because you'll use it as a ,bonanza' of ideas and technics, is that correct? What would be the concept then: direct wrapper (NetadapterCx -> NDIS) or detour FreeBSD (NetadapterCx ->FreeBDS -> NDIS)? I've got only basic C knowledge (and even less in driver-implementations) to support, but within 2 or 3 weeks i'll migrate to the (above mentioned Z170) system with an i219 and will be able to test. And - if that's of any interest or advantage - it will house a Debian partition too. And beside me, i'm quite sure there will be some others here (with an idled i219) eager for testing...

@SEDANEH: Are you sure you've carefully ,tailored' an appropriate iso utilizing (adding) the latest acpi.sys (that Dietmar offered you above) to Patch-Integrator v4.0.1's correct directory?

@SEDANEH: Dietmar is speaking of this XP-Integral Edition here! Edit: To be more precise of the Patch-Integrator v4.0.1

@Dietmar what happens if you first make a standard/regular XP installation and then substitue tha acpi later?

Many thanks @AstroSkipper for unveiling that missing link!

Would be anyone here be so indulgent and kind to explain how exactly one can fix this manually? Didn't find any "hudservice.js" in the St_52.9's folder and tbh, i do not spot any kind of "instruction" there which i would be able to "follow"... Many thanks in advance!

Yes, welcome back @IXOYE, i remenber it was you who explained (me) some years ago, how simply to combine Roytam's UXP browser + "open with" + yt-downlader + mpv. Does still work greatly!

Or you nead a board with a second "< i219" LAN chip on it, like my ,new' GA-Z170N-WiFi God bless that wise (or simply miserly?) taiwanese engineer who decided to put that extra, slightly outdated (or simply cheaper?) i211 on it! No need for an old Realtek-PCI-LAN, and no need to replace its modern 11ac 867 WiFi with an aged M2 6235. This Skylake i5-6600 (non T) system running idle consumes about incredible 1.1 W only (XP) and 0.8 W only (Win7) - at least according to HWMonitor 1.28 - utilizing the integrated HD530. That would mean approximately 1/6 of power input compared to my current IvyBridge-i5 rig ! So, God bless @Mov AX, 0xDEAD, @Dietmar, @Ramsey, @Kai-Schtrom and everyone else who made this possible too! A happy new 2024!
