I added that function awhile back (early July). You did the .local thing with my kernel32, right?

Yes , everything like you wrote before . Yet again it confirms that redirection doesn't work. Your files are dated November 13th.

Have you applied this reg entry (and rebooted)?

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options]
"DevOverrideEnable"=dword:00000001

Yes , of course . Actually redirection somewhat works , but not the point of actually working . I mean, before I made the redirection, many games demonstrated absolutely another type of errors .

I have just copied the whole game folder to another disk (not the system HDD) and now it doesn't want K32EnumProcessModulesEx in KERNEL32.dll anymore ! Now it says 0xC000007B all over again , like many other games. Edit : tried to run as admin , all the same. Actually redirection somewhat works , but there is this brick wall with 0xC000007B. Edit : this is the official DEMO, NONE of the files are modified.

Hey @win32, could you try to get Kingston SSD manager working on Vista with extended kernel (it is a Windows 8+ only application) ? I don't know whether it is purely x86 or x64 as Dependency Walker says that the .exe installer and one .dll are x86 in nature. I think all the other dlls are purely x64 (I'm not very knowledgeable with dll customisation and kernel extensions lol)

Hi , I think I found what' going on, several functions are missing from your file : RtlLookupFunctionEntry , RtlPcToFileHeader , RtlUnwindEx ,  RtlVirtualUnwind  (these seems to be the most inportant) . I wasn't sleeping and I've tried to add files from W7 , no success , but the error chanded to "0xC00000FD" . After several unsuccessful launches , I placed back your files and  just opened the .exe with Dependency walker to confirm , yep missing. 

Edit 1 : also the game wants these : RtlCompareMemory , TryAcquireSRWLockShared , 

LdrWx86FormatVirtualImage , NtWow64WriteVirtualMemory64

NtWow64QueryInformationProcess64 , NtWow64ReadVirtualMemory64 , RtlExtendedLargeIntegerDivide , 

RtlInitializeExceptionChain , RtlSetUserCallbackExceptionFilter

_alldiv , _allmul, _alloca_probe , _allshl , _aulldiv , _aulldvrm , _aullrem , _chkstk

Edit 2 : It seems to me the game is protected with steam libraries , and steam makes these calls to those in the "Edit 1" section.

May I ask why Spotify is not working with Extended Kernel? Is it a 32bit Application? I feel like Vista could have the potential to become an Everyday-OS again, if we find a way to make Office 2013/Office 365 or LibreOffice work. I really want to use OneNote 2013+ on Vista, as my OneNote for Windows 10 files do not open on OneNote 2010. Thats really sad and alongside Spotify, the reason why I am still unsure whether I should use Vista or 7.  By the way, which Antivirus program do you guys use? Is there anyone which works with Extended Kernel?

What's the latest status about the extended kernel and Intel Haswell HD graphics , please tell me . I have a 8 year old laptop with device ID " GT1ULT " .

Hi , you should definitely return to Vista as your main OS , I don't know anything about Spotify, but I'm sure Mallware bytes 3.5.1 is working and Comodo firewall too , you can look up the last working version in this section below

Have you tried Ashampoo Office ?

I got Office 2019 installer running yesterday, but the version check is very complicated. RtlGetVersion is not enough. Seems like it's checking more than that (using version.dll), which I haven't figured out yet.

I do believe that Spotify is 32 bit.

I use Comodo 10.0.1.6294

All official downloads for it are dead, and post I link to a download disappears, so I won't link it.

There was this one beta copy of Comodo 10 that worked better, but there's no offline installers that I can find for it.

I wonder what happens if you try launching this Chromium 72:

 

So I've finally managed to launch chromium ungoogled 86.0.4240.183 64bit , after I deleted a ton of junk/bloatware bundled within , but it shows this famous blank page with "Aw , snap" : Error code: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION. The thing I liked , it uses native Vista Aero.
