IntMD Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 (edited) Have you followed the advice of this poster?: Sure it's on Haswell, but Skylake's like one generation higher (if you don't count Broadwell). EDIT: Just checked - that guy has tested it on x86 Vista, which is already confirmed working, so not sure how things may be with Vista x64.

Arutz Tele Posted March 25, 2020 Author Share Posted March 25, 2020 What I've also found out is a screenshot from DeviantArt from awhile back showing proof that Vista x64 worked on a Haswell machine: https://www.deviantart.com/a11ryanc/art/Desktop-Screenshot-Core-i7-4790k-w-Vista-SP2-623466851 It's kinda ironic that his works, but in the comments I've seen no proof how he got it to run perfectly fine. There could be a possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There could be a possibility. If you read the description, it says that the config is still inflicted with the "timing initialization flaw" which appears to be the same issue you're facing.

Arutz Tele Posted March 25, 2020 Author Share Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) So I decided to install the x64 version of Windows Server 2008 (R1), which is basically the Server edition of Windows Vista. Enterprise version. I'm quite surprised I don't get the initialization flaws, but I'll have to see in the next couple reboots. It works okay. Any user who wants to use Vista post-Haswell should try Windows Server 2008 R1 for x64 version, you can transform it to Vista. UPDATE: Got the services bug again, "Failed to create security dialog" thing showed up. UPDATE 2: Rebooted, services still start okay. Just installed Wireless LAN Service and it works. UPDATE 3: Although the OS installed properly, there will be some boot attempts where you get the "Logon Process Initalization Failure" screen, just click OK and it'll get you to the logon screen. I'm installing updates but I don't think it will have any effect on the problems. Some services also won't start. UPDATE 4: Modified the Intel Skylake Graphics driver to make it work, it installed successfully but cannot run. Installing Platform Update had no effect, but I cannot install the Supplement, but I doubt it wouldn't have a effect neither.

I wonder what about Windows XP x64? I think XP x64 could run natively without issues, but requires some more work. I might look into that. that will work although you need the ahci text mode driver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if it'll solve the ACPI errors if I use the textmode drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

win32 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 To deal with newer implementations of ACPI on XP, you need to replace acpi.sys in your installation media: https://www.win-raid.com/t5355f45-Windows-XP-Pro-Bit-and-Server-Bit-on-Modern-Hardware.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
