Brickedandroid Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 (edited) Could you add the Intel AVX support (and also AVX2 and AVX-512 if possible) for Windows Vista Extended Kernel? Edited November 4, 2021 by Brickedandroid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(You use Webroot IIRC.) i installed it post extended kernel install iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have BSODs before you install the antivirus that I think might be Webroot, or only after?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakob99 Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Does anyone know if .net framework 4.8 works under Vista? If so, how do I get it working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSNH Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 (edited) Today i tried Firefox 91.3.0 ESR on Windows Vista with the new extended kernel. It looks like there is some problem with font rendering... (Same issue with Firefox 94, Firefox 78 works fine) Does anyone know how to solve this? Edited November 6, 2021 by TSNH 91.3.0 not 93.3.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Installation is possible, but I would advise against it because you will get missing dependency errors with .NET software that should work on vanilla Vista (see this May 17, 2019 post). Unless you simply must test some program that specifically requires 4.8, you would get better results with any lower 4.x version. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the previous extended kernel had the same issue. Aside from sticking with Firefox 88 or below, you could try the hex edits in win32’s September 11 post. Edit: Next post suggests that this advice no longer applies. Edited November 6, 2021 by Vistapocalypse 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No hex editing is needed! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you simply must test some program that specifically requires 4.8, you would get better results with any lower 4.x version. I'm trying to run Bloons TD 6 Steam version. What is weird is that the game worked in the past with the Kernel and without .net framework 4.8 (it would prompt me to install it, but I could still run it), but now doesn't. I uninstalled it and tried to reinstall it, but it throws an error. I should note that the game and steam are in my osver.ini file (otherwise it will tell me there is no connection). I should note that Bloons TD 5, also from Steam works, but this game was released when Steam still supported Vista. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
