[XP running on a 486 cpu]

Guys, I just found out the secret of logagent.exe and its use

 

I just read through the assembly codes of "logagent.exe" and...

logagent.exe, also known for Windows Media Player Log Agent. The application that logs errors with Windows Media Player.

Maybe, just maybe, windows media player is also leading the trails to this logagent.exe, maybe fixing Windows Media Player would fix logagent.exe problem

I think, to fix this logagent.exe space problem may requires us to code another one in C++

However, why is logagent.exe so strict when it just write logs?

BTW, how much space does logagent.exe has left. It might be possible.

@Dietmar why don't you take the windows 2000 files and overlap it with windows xp install. That way it might help to solve some problems

Hi,

is there a tool or an adapter, where you can put your xp.iso on it,

so that it looks like a real CD-Rom? Connector to compi can be IDE or Sata or PCI.

No USB connector, because old motherboards know nothing about USB.

I ask this, because I notice, that some of my burned CD-Roms do not work any longer, because of age(?)

There is a way to make it work, you JUST need a single ssd with 32gb of storage, like this

First step,  you use the "IDE TO USB" adapter and connect your very old HDD to the new pc

Make sure that the very old HDD had only ONE partition, or it won't work

Then, type these commands;

 

diskpart

(if permissions, press yes)

lis dis 

lis vol

(look at your HDD <DRIVELETTER> and type: sel vol <DRIVENUMBER> at diskpart)

then sel ur volume

 

active

exit

 

After that, you copy ALL of your windows XP CD-ROM files to the very old HDD that you plug in, then eject the drive.

For some reason this method works for windows vista and later DVD-ROMS when trying to copy all files over to the harddrive to make hdd boot.

After that, plug it back into your old 486 PC and pray that it works.

If problems, please tag me in the description.

There's a cheaper way

Have you tried the HAL "Standard Equip with C-Step i486"?
If you press F5 when starting the Windows XP installation CD, when it says press F6 to install hard drive drivers, a menu appears after a few seconds to choose the HAL layer and one of the options is that, if press F5.
I am not very clear if this HAL is for a review of Intel 80486 processors or refers to other processors.

I tried it on an emulated 486, and it is laggy as hell even though it sort of support 486.

Also I tried it on Pentium OverDrive 486 83mhz and it's not a fun experience. (86box)
