Compiling ACPI v2.0 driver for Windows XP SP3 and Windows 2003 SP2 (x32/x64)


Mov AX, 0xDEAD

Recommended Posts


Hi,

does anybody know, how to disable the assistant of the Device Manager?

This photo is from the HP 255 g6 in full Acpi-Multiprocessor mode.

But the search for new hardware stops with this and I cant move the mouse or use keyboard

The cruelest joke XP has ever played. Not what you asked, but have you tried drive-swapping to another box -> installing some drivers on that -> swapping the drive back in? If your HP has a working Ethernet port, you could also enable RDP while the drive's in the other box.

This does not work,

because on the HP I always need the help of the DSDT and the 4 SSDT from the Lenovo.

So, on the Lenovo all driver works. I disabled most drivers there, but I cant disable all.

Crazy work for me, to get the Sata driver running after this on the HP, because the Lenovo has only M.2.

But with this I succeed. Now, the HP is started with the tables from Lenovo.

During PNP, the HP noticed, that all the driver settings are wrong, because the Lenovo has different hardware.

This works under XP, all drivers can be setup new. But at the moment, when the shield of the Assistent for the Device Manager appears,

because no driver is found, I am lost, because I have no mouse and no keyboard to click this shield away

It can be disabled via regedit. Under the key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DriverSearching

set on 1

DontPromptForWindowsUpdate

and

DontSearchWindowsUpdate

These are just for drivers searching speedup :)

reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DriverSearching" /v "DontSearchWindowsUpdate" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f >nul
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DriverSearching" /v "DontPromptForWindowsUpdate" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f >nul
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DriverSearching" /v "DontSearchFloppies" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f >nul

This now disabled ALL search for drivers.

But I only want, that XP looks via PNP for all the drivers,

but no crazy shield

Integrated GPU won't have a proper XP driver, get an nvidia GT 710 that has XP drivers.

Yes, and it's a shame imo:
No possibilty to force a suitable interpolated 1440x900 resolution with the integrated intel hd 530 grafics for an old but valuable Eizo S2110W Monitor: The native 1680x1050 is far too small; the offered standard 1280x1024 and 1024x768 inerpolations are kind of useless.
What i've tried so far and did not work:

- Martin Brinkmann's Custom Display Resolution Utility (XP doesn't support EDID overrides)
- The command line utility QRes (mentioned here)
- The HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\VIDEO hack
- The Universal VBE Video Display Driver (2015 Version: VBE20, VBE30) that @Dietmar tried on his beloved HP 255 g6 :)

It feels a bit like a sacrilege to add that old 28nm GT-710 (Sorry godfather Kepler) onto my 14nm Skylake rig which runs so godly energy efficient without external grafics.

If anyone here knows another approach to enforve a cusom resolution on XP ...

Edit: FWiW: a GT-710 vs HD 530 comparison
