I'm doing my Dell XPS Studio M1640 which runs Windows Vista Home Premium. Edited March 26, 2021 by ScrapMechanicFan2016 yes that means im going to figure out what may have broken my Main PC's copy of vista... but not right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asininetwat Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Does anyone else have Firefox 86 crash when loading certain webpages? Webpages like this one somehow makes my browser crash. Event viewer says something goes wrong with xul.dll but I don't know anything about how Firefox works... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried debugging it, but I'm not sure if it's connected to directwrite, mediafoundation, or the non-presence of kernelbase.dll (which isn't needed by Vista, and is simply part of kernel32 broken out into a new file). Very hard with multi-process applications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PugLover13 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) So I'm after another clean install and while trying to install the extended kernel December 2020 release it says: "file not found" during copying the new files. Had to use system restore three times (it renamed old files but didnt copy new ones so it BSOD at startup). Why is this happening? Edit: nevermind extracting to desktop helped...?

Dixel Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 @ScrapMechanicFan2016 , try to install KB4467700-x64 from 2017-2018 or so , I remember when I tried one of the previous ex-kernel versions , it helped . But that was in November or December and I haven't tried any new versions and uninstalled everything. I do not like having anything on my PC that I do not use .

win32 Posted March 27, 2021 Author Share Posted March 27, 2021 Some applications started demanding the SHA-2 rollup update KB4474419, which is obviously already installed, so that will become the minimum soon. Though there are currently two sets of ntoskrnl/winload; one works with April 2017 updates (soon to be discontinued), and the other only works with the (SHA-2) March 2019 update. They will not work with anything else. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTAGAME Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Well you can either use a proxy mod to get Windows Update working again or use @greenhillmaniac's Vista Update Repository and for 2008 updates this 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open the Zip folder from Patch Loader and launch the WindowsPatchLoader 2.0 Application. Now select your Operating System, as well as the architecture (Vista, x64) and a whole bunch of updates will be shown (from 2008-2021). Uncheck the first 50 I guess, since they include SP1 and SP2, which are already installed on your machine. I would recommend you to only download 2010-2018 Updates and if you really want extra security, go till 01/2020. After they finished downloading, launch Dism++ and go to Updates Management. Here you press "Add" and now select all the previous downloaded updates. Dism++ will apply all of the selected updates to your PC now. After that, go restart your PC and voilà.. your Vista system is patched and ready for Extended Kernel. ATTENTION!: 1. In order to download the applications, first be sure you use Firefox 52.9 ESR, as IE9 may not be able to open the websites 2. Speaking of IE9, please be sure that you have installed it on your system, since some updates may be IE9-patches, which include TLS1.1/1.2 support + additional security (ONLY IF YOU ARE USING IE9!) 3. I would always recommend you to only install like 100 Updates at once to avoid any errors during Reboot! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said earlier , I have an absolutely clean x64 SP2 . This update installs without any problems . Then - boom - the kernel from December works ! Did you see , win32 said , as of now "only two level of updates April 2017 and March 2019" , right ? So this one has all of the needed files for it to work . Again , I'm not using it simply because I don't need it , not because it doesn't work or smth. Ex-kernel is a great achievement , I already said it many times.
