Display\0000 is the wrong ID, I think the driver is going to be useless until the correct device is being made available to Windows correctly. Since the third party programs do see it, I suspect this device does exist in Device Manager, perhaps under hidden devices, as some other thing besides a video controller. Try searching for DEV_3185 in msinfo32.

If you look very closesly, you will find that you do not have a Pentium III, instead it is a Pentium!!!

How old is old? What OS was on it? All of the v3.x are Windows 10, so it could have been something older. I'd stay away from their website, it is SEO to bajeezus and back and frankly is designed like a crypto-spammer's site.

Normally, this would solve the issue with Ebay. As I said, the problem script that (appears) to cause the freeze is on the ebay domain, not an external one. So Noscript doesn't help in this situation because you need to allow Ebay in order to use it, as far as I am aware.

I have had problems with Ebay freezing up on Firefox and Palemoon. There is some part of a script on their own domains (rather than being one of the third party ones) that will freeze and make the browser go "not responding" but eventually it will time out and you can use the site. It happens most on item pages and has been happening for over a year. It also sometimes happens on Chrome. This is what my findings are in relation to the Ebay problem. - It freezes on my home computer. Windows 7 x86 with Firefox and Palemoon, but not with Chrome. - It freezes on my work computer, Windows 7 x86 with Chrome and Firefox. I will note that the freeze with Chrome on my work computer is very short, perhaps 1-2 seconds. I only notice it because I have all theme stuff in Windows disabled, so I can see the title bar change every time I click on an item page. When Chrome is skinned, you do not see this happen. And I agree, I can't find any reason for it in particular. Graphic settings all on or all off. I can see the issue in the inspector, but it comes from Ebay.com itself, some script that is obfusicated that I can't tell what it is trying to do. I think they just have some optimization issues on their end. And since they had redesigned their cart/payment portal to be for mobile browsers, we can imagine that the desktop experience is not high on their list of priorities.

If I understand correctly, the mechanism to do the upgrade is still in place, so I wouldn't be surprised if another free upgrade period opened up with Windows Update. In fact, it seems quite odd but Windows 10 downloaded by anyone from the media creator tool site can still do a free upgrade from Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. And it is even possible to install that Windows 10 on a blank disk using a Windows 7 or 8.1 product key. All things that do not make normal sense, but I imagine they are making quite a bit of money off of the "analytics" and advertising and/or app store stuff to offset giving away a free OS.

I have to run Windows 10 on my office computer also, which I only use for email and intranet stuff. I still kept my Win7 system to use as the primary.

There are two things relating to that. 1. Never have the need to dump the firmware off the system for that. If there is one on the website, it is good enough. Also in my experience, firmware dumps can have too little or too much data in them as compared to ones provided by the manufacturer. 2. I would never attempt such a thing on a regular system, with no promise of replacement. One wrong thing can brick the notebook. I've done that many of times, but they were not a single system and the hardware was replaced. I would say that without a duplicate system to test learning how to do the thing you want properly, it would be very risky in case you end up doing something wrong.

Those are all in-box drivers... I don't think there would be any change, but you can try installing the chipset driver.

Not being Office 97, but I had once attempted an Office install with floppy disks and had a somewhat bad time as well. Rather than one of the disks being bad or unreadable, the antivirus installed kept detecting a virus on one of the disks. Of course, it wasn't disk 1. When it comes to long installations of software altogether, I believe the longest I had experienced was somewhat recent. Again I can't recall the version specifically, but it was some (then) newish (if not the newest) version of MSSQL. Installing onto the original "Unclesocks" took about two hours. This would have been around 2007 or so. And let's not forget about things that are extremely silly today, but was once something commonplace. Programs that had documentation disks. Especially things like Visual Studio, you had one or two CDs for just the documentation that would add to your install. Fortunately, those were always an optional thing during the process. In my first development job in 2005, I remember skipping the documentation install for Visual Studio since by that point in time, you could look everything up on the internet.

Null driver isn't really needed, you can just ignore the fact that the driver isn't installed in Device Manager. I guess if you are OCD you can write a null... Does the graphics adapter appear for another OS? If so, you can use Device Manager to do a view by connection, to see what parents it has. Windows 8.1 would have the same structure in theory.

The GPIO Host Controller should not have anything to do with the touchpad or graphics adapter. It is specifically for the use of I2C, SPI, UART, or GPIO. It is the type of device that, if this is for home use, you can be safe to not even install the driver for it if you won't use those types of interface in Windows. And, as is the case with some mobile platforms (including integrated systems) that use Intel chipsets, the hardware includes features for devices that are not actually usable. That is, the ODMs do not put the connectors onto the PCB that are required for such things. When you modify a driver, you will break the digital signature on the INF. This will cause problems for modern Windows OS unless you disable the driver signature enforcement. You can try any of these cabs marked from 2017 on the update catalog: https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=ACPI\INT3453 They use NTamd64.10.0, which would need to be changed to an 8.1 specific (I don't know the text) or just to straight NTamd64 in both places: [Manufacturer] %INTEL%=Intel,NTamd64.10.0 [Intel.NTamd64.10.0] %iaLPSS2_GPIO2.DeviceDesc_2%=iaLPSS2_GPIO2_Device, ACPI\INT3453 But as stated, even Intel admits that GPIO driver on mobile platforms typically just results in the flag going away, and the hardware being largely useless without the physical connections. https://forums.intel.com/s/question/0D50P0000490CCpSAM/question-about-the-intel-serial-io-driver?language=en_US

They both update different files, and from the file list, it would appear that both should be updated. KB4474419 seems to be specifically for enterprise environment, since it references WSUS, while KB4490628 does not.

As far as I am aware, you cannot run a 64bit VM on a 32bit host unless you have a 64bit CPU. So you actually have it installed, it just doesn't work as expected? Take a look at this and see if it helps any: https://superuser.com/questions/507943/virtualbox-3584mb-memory-limit

Stability can be equated to uptime longevity in computing, and for this I would say Windows 10 is very low on this list... only because it likes to reboot itself without asking you. In my experience, Windows 10 is less stable than say, Windows XP, 7 or even 98FE.

There are multiple ways that a link can be opened. Running a URL through Explorer will cause Explorer to open the default browser to render the link. For this specific instance only, you are looking for creating a wrapper for this circumstance. This will require you to change your default browser in the registry to the wrapper. That is the proper way to handle this type of thing, rather than having some active process running on the system monitoring for this specific event... and it may indeed make things more complicated as a result. Another method of launching a URL is to use a program option, such as specifically calling iexplore (or whatever) to launch the link. In this case, a wrapper as the Default Browser will not help, and then what you would need is a browser extension... Although another way to handle this is to set a specific browser as your default, then lock that down so that it doesn't go anywhere. You could set IE to be your default browser and then use whitelist policy on the Internet Zone, or perhaps even enable that safe-browseing thing that is default on Server OSes.

I have done it once. It was either Windows 95 OSR2 or Windows 98. The disks were from Gateway and I am thinking there were either 33 of them or that the 33rd disk was bad. It was a failure of an install, as one of the disks was unreadable, and this after installing for about an hour and a half.

Moved topic. Put text from readme into first post, removed readme attachment. If anyone gets bored they can play around with drivers, but there should be no expectation that anyone should actually do so.

Not to derail, but let's break down the two sides of such a project. One is the client that dials into the server. The other side is what the server connects to that the client will be able to access after establishing a connection. Client-server side What is required to create a segregated dial-up system? The client needs to dial a number, the server needs to answer that number. What exists between the client and the server to route this request? Can this be handled on the server itself or does it require a separate piece of hardware? Do you need to have a PBX in there someplace? Then there is the other consideration. Your in-house "PSTN" needs to have power running on the line and also to provide a dial-tone when the line is picked up by the client. What is needed to provide this? Server-Server side The dial-up server is acting as a gateway to some other content. What do you want your client to be able to access? Do you want to access the public internet, or perhaps you run this totally isolated and have it connect to an intranet. This portion seems like it would be a lot easier to set up than the part in-between the client and the server. Note: this is going upon the understanding that you would not be using an existing POTS hookup from the street.

The Browserleaks website doesn't do anything if javascript is disabled and also it appears the MarioNet thing uses javascript also. Regarding Chrome, it may not say this specifically but there is a setting in the advance options "Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed" which may be related to whether or not it will allow the Service Workers thing to run properly.

Is additional hardware required or can it just be done with two computers and some phone cord? I have always thought about creating a RADIUS server at some point just for fun.

That sounds familiar. I had this issue quite a bit once Firefox updated to this version (61.0.1) AND I was in an inefficient video memory situation. After remedying that situation, the black sections seen on scroll had gone away, since I am still using that version now.

The only Firefox that I have in active use is on one of my workstations, which is using Windows 7 32bit. It is Firefox "Quantum" 61.0.1. My add-ons are: DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials Nimbus Screen Capture NoScript uBlock Origin Web Developer I do have Firefox on various other Windows 7 PCs, but they are typically old versions and either I am not using the internet on those PCs or I have not opened/updated Firefox. As always, I have auto-update for the Mozilla browsers disabled.
