Greetings. I'm using your browser on a daily basis and it's doing wonders. However I believe that I found a few issues. Firstly, the audio mute function in the bottom toolbar is nonfunctional. Even when muted audios are still played. Also, the browser keeps freezing while I'm typing and restores in 10~15 seconds, frequently. This is even caused now when I'm writing on MSFN. The weird thing is that even resource intensive tasks are OK when it's not related to typing. My PC has a SandyBridge Xeon-E5 with 16GB ram and WinXP SP3 x86 so it's unlikely that this is a specification/performance issue.

I was unable to find the file. That specific beta version appears to be lost in time, there's nowhere that thing can be downloaded from. Some "portable" versions of Office 2010 I found from the internet appears to be based on that version too (and they run on 2K; some had embedded malware?), but I can't find the installer. Torrent file is long dead and even BetaArchive doesn't have that version, they have a slightly older beta (you can search BA's database without account) but I tried downloading it, it's about 3GB but it takes more than 20 hours to download using my internet.. It would be very nice to find someone who has that file, or get the RTM / SP1 version of Office 2010 working instead (This would likely be better but I don't know how hard that would be..)

I tried running this, works just as described. But, I noticed that this version of office is a beta version. This is version 14.0.4730.1007, where the RTM is 14.0.4760, and build 4734 is the OEM distributed version that is pretty easy to obtain. This portable version is packaged with Thinapp, I guess that if we come up with a solution to either extract the thinapp to make it install / get a 14.0.4730.1007 installer, it would run properly.. Edit : The file name to hunt for is "14.0.4730.1007_Select_volume_ship_x86_en-us.rar". (Can be found from https://www.betaarchive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11012 and some others)

Thanks for the reply, awkduck. There is indeed an option to just remove IE integration but I wanted the 95 shell as it felt a bit faster. Surprisingly, I could actually very easily solve this problem. I first installed the 95 shell in 98Lite. Then I copied the shell32.dll (which is 95's) and named the copy shell32.w95. Then I copied the shell32.w98 (that is me's) and named that copy shell32.dll. Then I opened the explorer.exe now installed (from 95) in WinHex. CTRL+F, find the string "shell32.dll" with case insensitive option and changed them all to shell32.w95. After reboot my programs and Win95 explorer are all working. (Note that when I couldn't rename those files I just rebooted to a DOS boot floppy and made the modifications) Added : After modding these your file open/save dialogs will be broken for most programs. Again open Comdlg32.dll and change shell32.dll to shell32.w95. You don't need to have a separate comdlg32.w95, just keep the 95 variant in the normal comdlg32.dll name.

Hello. I installed 98lite on Windows ME and used option 1 - replace explorer with the one from Windows 95. The install went flawlessly and now I'm in a Windows ME environment with the Windows 95 (non-IE integrated) explorer (with IE6 still intact). However, after the installation the Shell32.dll was replaced by the 95 version and the original has been named to Shell32.w98. The windows default programs that are broken by this modification (msconfig, wordpad, ...) can still be used as 98lite binary patches them and puts the patched ones on the 98lite folder. However, I'm now not able to launch some 3rd party applications such as K-Meleon Goanna or Opera 12 (both with KernelEx 4.5.2019.24). Is there a way to solve this without reinstalling WinME's explorer again? Perhaps by patching win95's explorer.exe to use shell32.w95 instead and leave shell32.dll as it is. Any help is appreciated.

@Tommy// I've tried installing Advanced Server and Pro with core 12a. Unfortunately though, the 12 threads of my processor aren't getting detected (only 8; 12 in datacenter), but this is a minor issue. Even with core 12a, I'm not yet able to drive both displays in dual head mode. I'm sorry, but do you also know which version of the NVIDIA driver you have used to successfully do so? I even tried a version from 2014, but all same results.. some versions includes the nview(?) program that auto starts on boot, but clicking dual view in it shows a prompt that says it requires a reboot, and after reboot nothing's changed.

Thanks for the many people who replied here. I'll try installing the Advanced Server and/or Professional and see if that works any better. Hopefully it does.. (but most things work already, I guess they'll do as well)

Hello! As I mentioned earlier I switched to another PC where I already fixed the AHCI/SATA issues and it's not related to the SSD. And this computer has support for Win7 x64 or higher meaning that I don't even have manufacturer (Dell) support for XP! (It works though by using modded drivers and such,, like 2000) I guess you cannot tell the difference between that website's language (ja-JP) and mine (ko-KR). I do not understand Japanese although Google Translate is good enough to let me understand what the site's about. I tried many old NVIDIA drivers from that site to the most recent one, also tried switching the extended core version and no luck. No version gets me both screen working (Dual view) like on XP and higher. The secondary GPU solution does work for now though but it feels like a waste of energy..

Installing a older version of extended core did make ALC269 work. (I was using the latest 2015 version, but the latest non-beta version worked) Now I need to fix the dual monitor but it doesn't look easy Wonder if @blackwingcat has any idea about this..

I switched to another PC for installing Windows 2000 - This time, it's a Dell Precision T3600 with a Sandy Bridge Xeon E5-1650. Instead of using NLite I manually integrated the iaAHCI driver and I could successfully install Win2K Pro (English), Win2K Datacenter (English) and Win2K Pro (Korean). However the Extended Kernel didn't want to install on any windows other than English so I continued with the english version of Win2K Datacenter. So far, most things are working. The Realtek ALC269 isn't working, and the nVIDIA GT720 only displays screen on one of the two monitors. As I want both dual monitors functioning I temporarily installed a secondary ATi X1300 Pro. Now the GT720 and X1300 each handles one 1920x1080 monitors, and it does work (although a real solution would be nice). For the ALC269, a "wdm_r261.exe" driver did make Device Manager detect the card, but Windows doesn't detect any sound output device in the Control Panel. This works on WinXP, I guess I should try more drivers.. (Seems like the nVIDIA HD Audio device doesn't work too, but I'm not sure as I don't use a HDMI monitor - maybe it will work with a HDMI monitor with audio capability)

Indeed, I have got the "0x0000007b" error. I could solve it by getting the iata drivers, and integrating them on nLite. (Choose integrate single driver -> Select iaAHCI.inf -> CTRL+A to select all) However, integrating them to Windows 2000 Datacenter would cause another error after booting setup stating that "Line 53 of INF file" is wrong, but that didn't happen with Windows 2000 Professional.

Hello, MSFN!. I have a Dell Precision T5810, the specifications are as the following : CPU : Intel Xeon E5-1650 v3 (Haswell) RAM : DDR4 ECC REG 8GB * 4 = 32GB GPU : Geforce GTX670 2GB (Kepler) Storage : 120GB SATA SSD MB Chipset : X99 I previously tried installing Windows ME and 98SE, but although I could get them partially working (rloew SATA driver, VBEMP display, old lancard) I wasn't able to get a properly working, usable setup, so I'm trying to get Windows 2000 working instead as it might work better for many of my hardwares. (Especially the GPU) As I have 32GB, I've chosen to install Windows 2000 Datacenter Server variant, I'm not sure if this is a good choice. I installed Windows onto the drive by using WinNTSetup from another machine and attaching the drive to the machine after, but on boot it shows the Windows Setup (Blue screen, similar to 2000/XP CD setup), prompts for "F6 for SCSI/RAID driver", "Setup is loading windows" and stops there. (I've waited for more than an hour, no luck) Next I tried installing Windows onto the drive by attaching the SSD as a physical drive on VMware, finished the first part of the setup and attached the drive onto the computer to continue, but that gives me a BSOD saying that the boot volume is not able to be accessed. (That's not the exact message it gave but I can't remember it.) Note that, I have seen the post here : I've copied the acpi.sys (expand'ed) or copied it as ACPI.SY_ on both cases above as not having it would result both in the same BSOD noting ACPI issues. I of course had the SATA controllers on ATA(IDE) mode from the BIOS, although setting the mode to AHCI didn't make any difference. I do already know that Windows XP might be easier here but I just want Windows 2000. :p Could someone please advice me on installing W2K onto this machine (better with full 32GB ram and cores/threads)? ME/98SE did work even with no drivers available (even for the drive, MS-DOS compatibility mode) but NT seems harder on this one.
