This is an OS file and is not redistributable outside of the ADK. If you don't want the whole ADK, you can try JFX's tool: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/156869-get-waik-tools-wo-downloading-the-huge-isos/

That is the case for a lot of vulnerability checkers, they just see if a patch/update is installed by detecting it directly OR detecting what the patched behaviour should be and doing nothing if it is the wrong response besides throwing an error. In other words, they do not actually perform an action to trigger the vulnerability itself. So there is no real way to check any system to see if it is vulnerable, especially the things everyone seems to want to ignore being 32bit OS and stuff older than Windows 7. Hopefully someone finds a way to do a PoC detection on the issue so people can test these OSes.

So then we will not see fixes for legacy OS and likely even the patches we would see are for OSes in their support period or extended (paid) support period say for XP or Server 2003. If there ends up being a fix in XPe or POSReady2009, then this might be the way to get the update on desktop XP. I wonder about the methods for exploiting this, is it going to be the usual "it won't work on W95 because you need to use some thing that doesn't work on the OS" ... PS: added tags to the topic.

I think that it doesn't matter for the old OSes. As I said, I have just been using the same XML I made in WSIM for Vista on every OS since then, and they all have the lowercase k in key and it was starting this version that it would accept it. It is not a wholesale change as you can still use lowercase for other objects like settings, component, unattend and cpi. It isn't something enforced by the schema either, it would have been a problem if it was like <key></Key> but the case doesn't matter in XML as long as it matches.

What are these anyways? They are only the CPUs in the i-3/5/7 range according to wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Core Look at the contents/index part to see the breakdown. But I thought articles were saying this issue goes back 20 years? So they are not going to offer 20 years worth of fixes or Intel says that CPUs older than the ones listed do not have the problem? Based on the list from Intel, it would seem that ... say Core 2 Quad Q6600 does not have the problem. What about Pentium 4?

I just ran into a weird situation where the answer files I've been using since Vista time were not working on a Windows 10 Pro 1709 DVD I just got. It made no sense really so I had to do a WSIM validation and it just said the setting did not exist. The one it was complaining about was ProductKey/Key but it was not obvious. I deleted the object in WSIM and re-added it, then compared the old vs new XML that WSIM liked. The difference was an uppercase K. For years this worked and worked fine: <ProductKey> <key>XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX</key> <WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI> </ProductKey> But against the Windows 10 1709 catalog, it doesn't. It only recognizes Key and not key. And of course this isn't documented anywhere online that suddenly this one XML object is case sensitive. What a thing to change!

It could be a million things. Start first by posting what error shows on this screen. Also if there is any difference in the specifics of the error message when using different games.

An interesting note in there that this issue does not effect AMD CPUs (Ryzen comes out on top?) but putting in the patches to computers with AMD CPUs will slow them down just the same. Seems like it could be a nightmare for anyone using Windows 10 on a Ryzen... if (at least) the linux patches are CPU agnostic, you wonder if MS will make it so only PCs with Intel and ARM CPUs will get (or be able to be) updated with these specific fixes. But according to this, it is not: https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/12/27/2 Is it all just a bunch of FUD to lump AMD into this issue or has anyone been able to replicate it on their CPUs? EDIT: topics merged and title changed.

OK well if you had used a disposable email address in the past, it may have been the reason your old account was removed.

Actually I believe that the cost to produce a 16:9 and a 16:10 is about the same. What made it cheaper was that one factory could save half their money by only producing one of the sizes instead of two. I would say it was a gamble that paid off, whichever company thought of it first, or if there was a multi-company agreement, to just stop making 16:10 panels at the factory.

It all comes down to what applications/games you are running or what features you require. That is the only way to know, otherwise it could just be anything. Of course, posting "unknown model number" makes it impossible for anyone to be able to say "this other card is better"

The Leadtek GeForce 4 TI440 does not appear to use VRAM, but SGRAM. http://ixbtlabs.com/articles/digest3d/itogi-video-gf4-4400.html https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814122134 I am putting it down as a case of OP using the wrong terminology.

What was your old username?

The speed is mostly relative, or not really noticable to humans, of an old OS on period hardware vs a new OS on modern hardware. This goes against what many people think because they will remember their Windows 95 computer running really slow, but this is more of a selective memory. I have had Windows 95 computers on Pentium MMX with 5200RPM HDD be able to boot and run standard Windows stuff the same speed as a Windows 7 on a quad core and an SSD. In either case, the computer gets slower with time, installing software and/or failing hardware and people remember when their computers were slow and not when they were fast. I think that Windows has gotten slower over time, which is to be expected considering all the stuff they have just been adding onto it over the years.

Certainly a person with only 1 computer running Windows 98 and no other computer or "smart" device would be in quite the pickle. I remember a time when the internet (or at least the web) was not a primary function of a computer and later became a luxury. It seems only in recent years did computers turn into on-all-the-time machines and probably 99% of people only use their computer to go on the web. That doesn't mean that there cannot exist computers that do not use web browsers as their dominant program. Heck I even have computers (Windows 7) that are segregated so that they cannot get to the internet.

Occasionally I will hear XP sounds on radio station broadcasts.

Certainly they do, but it depends on how you use their service. Especially if you use Android phone.

20GB was my standard disk size from 98 to XP as well.

There even exist 4:3 LCD monitors with HDMI inputs, but I usually find these on websites that sell embedded/industrial systems. Prices are typically put as "ask for a quote today!" :\ I will get one some day...

Ok just making sure. In a situation like this when trying to do something that doesn't work, using as much detail as possible is best.

Which suggestions would those be exactly?

80GB for OS is just fine for Vista or 7. If you every save or create data then it isn't a good size, but it depends on what kind of data you use. I use an 80GB in my Win7 32bit at home without a problem, but I have additional disks to keep files and some programs.

Thanks. Mis-attribution is common on forums but is a big problem. I only commented on it because of the word "we" which (without quotes) would mean mis-attribution to the information to yourself which is bad. There have been numerous stories of forums (or users) getting in trouble from those who actually write things and being found verbatim on other websites. We should always be careful to make sure that any text from another website with a word such as "we" or "I" is used in quotes, the quote tag or some other way (bold or whatever) to separate it from the rest of your text, including when alacran puts his name at the end of his post like jaclaz does, it reads as all being written by you.
