Is it possible to install Windows XP on a Surface Pro 6?
Tripredacus replied to GD 2W10's topic in Windows XP 64 Bit Edition
When you say "install" do you mean only using setup.exe? Because you can image an XP install onto the disk without issue. You could even put DOS on it if you wanted. But for XP 32bit it might be an issue, you may need to only be looking at XP 64bit for this type of device. The first step is to make sure you can find a storage driver to use, since if you can't find one, then it isn't going to boot. -
It can be hard to find out, but it is possible your video card does not have a UEFI BIOS or support GOP. Post the model of your video card if you can't find out if it does. I use a Sapphire RX 580, which I had to get because it has a BIOS switch between legacy and UEFI, and I am still using a legacy system. At the time, it was the only 8 GB video card I could find that supported legacy. Of course, having the switch means that I could use it on UEFI if/when I decide to go that route.

Switching between thread pages broke again after server crash
Tripredacus replied to i430VX's topic in Site & Forum Issues
OK I was just looking at the console output in your screenshot. Looking at it again, it is not blocking the ads, or at least the adsbygoogle.js that is on googlesyndication. To figure out where the issue lies, you'll need to figure out why the console is showing you that SyntaxError. I believe that is what is causing the issue. Here is what you can do. If you can get a page to do this thing where the posts don't show up. Then go into the inspector and view the console and verify the SyntaxError is present. Then on the page again, choose to view page source instead of inspect. Select all and copypasta it into a .txt file. Then PM me the text file. Just to make sure we aren't wasting any time, I do not want a .txt file if the error console doesn't show that Syntax Error message. -
All of the things that are monitored are from within the shell. Start Menu, apps, search/cortana, browsers. All either part of the shell or launched from the shell. If you were to replace the shell with a browser, does the same amount of monitoring occur? I am inclined to think not, but it would be interesting to know if that was the case.

To my knowledge, it doesn't change what Windows Update does.

The blocking of the ads shouldn't be what is causing it, as shown in your picture. Unless, the process used to do the block (which would be to not put the affected code in the rendered code, or the browser putting a comment on it) is what is causing the problem. Notice that Syntax error at the end. If the blocking method is also removing part of the page code outside of the ad object, it could be what is the actual issue. On a page with this security enabled, do an inspect on the stars for rate this topic. Then with the security disabled, repeat. I wonder if the browser security is commenting out a portion of code it shouldn't, and with tags being "missing" causes the page content to not appear. -
The OS itself is fine, it is just the shell that is a nightmare. I only personally use the Enterprise versions for work and home computers. If you read in this section, there are plenty of threads about personal experience, such as this thread: https://msfn.org/board/topic/174896-official-windows-10-worst-crap-ever/

A good explanation of the boot process by our old friend: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-performance/sudden-slow-reboot/7e4d38c2-8c2e-4e19-a2aa-c60bb5b62b75?auth=1 Using a spinning disk or SSD? I come to think of boot time as being important only if uptime is not important.

I will believe it. If you search for drivers on the catalog, it is super complicated to find the correct one. Especially since the catalog likes to sometimes put internal or code names for releases in the OS version column. Just yesterday I ran into a problem finding a Broadcom WLAN driver. I downloaded the most recent one for Windows 10 current version, went to install it and it wouldn't take it. Then I look into the INF and it has XP to 8.1 specific install sections, not a Win 10 section or even one of those generic amd64 sections. So if the catalog has Windows XP drivers marked as Windows 10 drivers, you can be sure that Windows Update probably was doing the same thing... which might explain some of the issues people have with drivers from WU in the first place.

It must be pointed out that modifying your Windows 7 installation to be able to install updates from other SKUs does not grant you additional support. It invalidates your support. Support is granted from Microsoft to the software. Support is not: you can install updates. The only way to get actual support for Windows 7 or POSReady is to subscribe to the ESU program. This is a paid program between a client and Microsoft. This being the case, discussion of how to trick the update servers into thinking your computer is an ESU verified device is against the forum rules.

I've never used that option. I always just search for drivers manually in the update catalog. Although i should point out that nearly all of my Windows 10 usage is done with integration in mind, and on a network with no internet access.

Vista bluescreens randomly and often on 2700X

Yet the GPIO driver caused the most recent crash in the dumps you provided. -
Vista bluescreens randomly and often on 2700X
Tripredacus replied to asdf2345's topic in Windows Vista
A crash caused by a breakpoint can typically only be handled by the developer of the code that included the breakpoint. In general, it is a bad idea to release public code with a breakpoint in it without offering support for it. Now, the file that windbg complains about is the amdgpio2.sys. If this is an unmodified file from AMD, then I would say that this particular version should not be present. Or you can just not install the driver that put that in the system. In other words, you can't do anything if a breakpoint is what crashed the system, especially from binaries with no public symbols. -
M$ will remove SHA-1 signed Windows Downloads on August 3rd
Tripredacus replied to NojusK's topic in Technology News
Especially if any of those SHA-1 signed updates are required to install SHA-2 support on a system. They wouldn't break that update chain would they? -

-07 hit a breakpoint. Are you using beta or custom drivers? -
It is a Panduit dp5e, just as in the op. After further research, this model number is just the frame and not for the modules. The one I posted a picture of is the DP5E with Cat6 MiniJack modules installed. You can get this model with punchdown modules or other types.

Scrolling on inactive windows is not really an OS feature. You can certainly do it in Windows 7, but I believe it has more to do with how the program is written than what OS it is running on. Maybe Win10 has something that overrides a program's default interaction, making it possible to do an inactive scroll even if it isn't supported? Regarding extra devices... when dealing with computers not in production or corporate environments... I just don't install drivers for stuff I don't use. IME and SoL are ... SOL.

I took a look at a few and they do not use a power supply. It is basically just a metal frame with RJ-45 couplers in it. The backside of the panel is where you connect the lines that connect to your individual wall outlets or what-have-you. Now since there is no shared connection in the panel itself, in order to use it to create a network, you need to use the front ports to connect into something. So on the ones I looked at, the fronts are all connected using short cables to a switch. That switch then connects to "the internet" (there's a bunch of stuff in-between the switch and the internet) Troubleshooting a link can be tricky. I recommend that you use the labels on the panel to match the labels on your ports. So you can easily look at the wall and know which port to look at on the panel. Depending on the complexity of your network, you have these segments: - between PC and wall outlet - between wall outlet and back of the panel (cable goes through wall) - between front of panel to other device (switch) - etc In the three segment arrangement, you can test each easily. I use an old router or some device with a link light and just check each end. Easiest to have to swap out a cable that is not in the wall for obvious reasons. I think over the past 9 years I've had to replace a few patch cables and a couple cables between computer and the wall. Not that the cables necessarily went bad, but maybe they fell out of tolerance. Obviously, your arrangement will vary from the example above. There is no right or wrong way to use a patch panel, and you can even use them without running cables through walls if you wanted to.
