/facepalm. I should've went a couple of pages back. Thanks so much for such a quick answer! And for the link too. Indeed, the sound is working now. Firefox too. In fact, I'm typing this in my retro PC Vista now. When I removed the local redirect for Firefox and returned the original exe back to where it was (without modified header) then restarted, Firefox was eating through CPU when launched (constant 98-99% without any websites opened). It's a Core 2 Duo E7600. But it went away as soon as I removed and then reinstalled Firefox. I haven't even deleted the user folder app data. So, everything's working now! Thanks again! Donates where are they due Just a quick question: so the local redirect for Firefox is not possible, am I correct? I tried using this 9th of March version for local redirect and it didn't work.

Hi everyone! Such an interesting project. I've tried to get it working with Firefox. I have all the updates from LegacyUpdate installed and then all the prerequisites (I believe) mentioned on the Extended Kernel homepage are installed manually too, and I used the automated installer for Extended Kernel (latest version). After restart, I can use Firefox ESR 102.8.0 without any problems (just needed the osver.ini version spoofing). Even Youtube and everything works. However, I'm instantly loosing audio on all available devices (that is Nvidia HD audio and Creative Soundblaster Audigy 2zs). And it's broken in a weird way. No sound can be heard from any app or the system (or seen in Vista's mixer) at all. When I go to check speakers in Vista's audio panel, it says "failed to play a test tone". And that's happening with any device and no matter the audio format chosen. The moment I uninstall the Extended Kernel, everything's fine, but Firefox is of course not working. Since I need it for only the browser and maybe some antivirus software, I've tried a local redirect, but no luck with that. I used the reg file, copied all the files to the appropriate folder and then restarted, then modified firefox.exe headers with CFF explorer (MinorSubsystemVersion field) since it was saying "it's not a proper win32 application", and now it's crashing with "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005)" error message. Is it possible to launch Firefox with Extended Kernel local redirection? Could someone please help me with either getting the sound back when system files are replaced, since I don't see anything in this thread about problems with audio, or with local redirect for firefox? For Audigy drivers I use the latest full Daniel_K's Audigy support pack, but the problem persists even with the creative drivers Vista pulls from the update. Well, and Nvidia HD audio is bugged in the same way.
