You speak as if Windows 2000 is just one SKU. I gather you are speaking about Windows 2000 Professional only?

Did @dencorso reply to someone after 7 years of looking for an iPaq for his job, or is something missing here?

If using Server 2016 with desktop (as opposed to Core), the default UI is still Server Manager, and everything can be done through there. Or you can use the context on the Start button to go to other places. It has a Start Screen like Windows 8/10 does but I've never used it and have only opened it by accident.

Orphaned products are what most people consider to be abandonware. Programs or games created by companies that no longer exist, therefore there is no entity to enforce copyright. The only way a Windows OS can be freely redistributed is if Microsoft puts the product into the public domain. OR, they go out of business and no one purchases/claims the rights to Windows, then it would be considered orphaned. Until then, the License is still enforceable on Windows 95, even if the product is no longer sold or supported.

As far as OS is concerned.... their focus is not going to be on desktop or on mobile but mobile we can say they just are not interested in creating a competing operating system. Now they are all about servers and online services that mobile devices can access.

As far as I am aware, Microsoft has not yet released Windows 95 into the public domain. As such, this software is warez as it contains a "disk image" of an installed Windows 95 OS. Congrats to Techrepublic, Neowin and Zdnet for supporting software piracy.

Using this as an example, and forgetting the Server 2003 notation, does this work on NT 4? https://www.microsoft.com/es-ES/download/details.aspx?id=3636

Update Catalog says that KB4338818 replaces KB4055038, KB4284842 and KB4284826. Presuming these three would need to be on the system already, or perhaps reinstalling those could fix the issue. However, Catalog also states that KB4338818 is superceded by KB4343900. Installing this instead may work. https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=4338818

The real alarm bell that should have gone off was not that OneDrive didn't support MS program files, but the reasons why it would exclude them. So it is obviously not doing just a file copy when it is copying files to the online folder, otherwise, it wouldn't matter if a file was a PST or not. I wouldn't be surprised if the file uploader is actually reading the contents of files before or during the file transfer.

There is potentially another reason. It is true that Setup itself will attempt to partition the disk in GPT format IF you boot the install media in UEFI, and MBR if you boot in legacy. However, there are certain situations where Diskpart (at least) behaves incorrectly. I have seen it various times where diskpart will refuse to run MBR commands[1] on certain hardware and certain hard drives, even when the WinPE is booted in Legacy. [1] Commands for diskpart are not MBR or GPT mostly, but diskpart will give a similar error to what Windows Setup does, that the disk type is incorrect. The commands being the same, you can clean a disk, create a partition and format it, however then you would get the error when trying to make a partition active or setting an ID. In any case, it is my understanding that you cannot do an in-place upgrade with a regular Windows 8.1 DVD, and that some changing to the ISO contents is required in order to allow for that functionality. BUT, I do not think there is an upgrade path from XP to 8.1. Usually the in-place upgrade path is last version to next version. Meaning to do in-place upgrade to 8.1 from XP you'd have to upgrade to Vista, then 7 and then 8.1. The other "upgrade" option available in this situation is to use the User State Migration Tool (USMT). You can use v5 to capture the user data from XP, then you do the install of 8.1... which YES does erase the hard drive. Then you can use the USMT for 8.1 to restore the data and HOPE it works. https://cloudblogs.microsoft.com/enterprisemobility/2013/09/12/how-to-migrate-user-data-from-windows-xp-to-windows-8-1-with-system-center-2012-r2-configuration-manager/ To be honest tho, if this is a desktop computer, I would recommend putting in a blank hard drive. Disconnect the other two/one/whatever and install Windows 8.1 onto that. And end up leaving your existing XP installations be.

Changed topic title.

If the issue is limited to a change in the expected behaviour of your browser, I would look into resetting it, trying a different browser, and scan for malware.

I had mixed results. Initially, emoticon images were not in cache so when I typed in the code manually and posted, only the text had shown up. If I opened the emoticons panel, none of the images were initially present, then they loaded in and I clicked on the same one. Then after that, typing in emoticons manually would change to the picture in the post editor as they should. I am not familiar with how the post editor works exactly. The way it looks to behave is that it does a "text replace" on the emoticon text with an IMG tag with a picture. If you happen to do that without the images cached, or before the script to do the replace is run, or it doesn't run because the image isn't cached, then that looks to be the reason. The forum relies on the browser to load and run an AJAX script to do this conversion. Unfortunately, I didn't have the monitor running when I did my initial test where I duplicated the issue, only after I had opened the emoticon panel. My Palemoon is edited so the help menu is missing, but my user agent says I am using PaleMoon/27.6.2.

The software should do a compatibility check before updating. If the OS is not supported in the new version, then the software should say so and then exit the updater.

Ah so it is actually SHOTcut and not Shortcut. I bet google gives you a hard time searching for that too. Yes, GetActiveProcessorCount would be a valid function in Windows 7 and newer version of kernel32.dll. 32bit Windows version seems to have started with v16.10 https://github.com/mltframework/shotcut/releases/tag/v16.10 The software maker seems to have never supported it on XP, but there may be some version that can work: https://forum.shotcut.org/t/last-version-for-win-xp/6687

The only thing about blue light that I have a problem with (and has existed for as long as I remember) is that I see a color shift with blue or purple light and/or colored objects, and in some combinations I can see a 3d effect.

I will check palemoon tonight.

If the BIOS has an OS selection option, set it to "Other OS" or anything but Windows 8 and Windows 10 if those options appear.

Text from @roytam1 posts causing an error seems to be fixed. Please let us know if we have any more of these 403 errors starting from now. {nsUXThemeData::drawThemeEdge}

I still have some viruses from around 10-15 years ago vaulted in a couple of email accounts. Certainly there are others that "preserve" them, the same way people archive software.

Sure. Someone there decided to *not* show a screen with two big options for creating a local or online user account in Windows 8. Instead it shows one full screen online user account screen with little tiny local account text way down in the corner. But I suspect that while I'm sure someone there works in some department relating to other people's information, the true reasoning for requiring an online account is to get rid of their outdated licensing model. The got rid of activation suppression (what the OEMs had prior to Windows 8) to all online activation. Even for Enterprise and Embedded (IoT) and especially Office.

I can't find a clear "this to that" explanation of this message... however from what I can tell this can happen in one of (at least) two ways: 1. a GPO or scheduled task is on the system to do backups to the registry and/or user profile. 2. If this happens on first boot or wake from sleep/hibernation, it would indicate that Windows had unmounted a hive incorrectly.

Use DISM add-package on that MSU.

That is the WLAN device in a computer, not a router. Are you using a hotspot or ad hoc? When it comes to troubleshooting a wireless connection, the first thing to determine is whether or not the device loses the wireless connection (the link itself) to the wireless router. This is the equivalent of a physical connection stating "media disconnected" or not having a cable connected. For wireless, this would typically manifest as the signal meter showing an x or no bars, or the SSID (if broadcast) no longer showing in the list.

A movie theater showing the new Mission Impossible movie apparently used a system with Active Desktop (may be XP, maybe not) and it crashed during playback. Then it showed the Active Desktop recovery page on the big screen. Twitter embed isn't working, so here is a link directly to the image: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DkHoi_5U4AA2NqE.jpg
