legacyfan Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 (edited) ive been working on trying to figure out how to get steam and newer programs to run under windows xp and can't find anyway right now to do it (except for the now illegal extended kernal type thing for xp) and was wondering what the best legal way to get these programs to work would be if anyone could help with this it would be much appreciated Edited April 3, 2023 by legacyfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vistapocalypse Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Maybe take Steam’s advice. https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/6E66-54EC-3EFC-283C 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vistapocalypse Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 I almost forgot: If you think you might still want to use Steam nine months from now, they have some more recent advice for you: https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/4784-4F2B-1321-800A 31 minutes ago, legacyfan said: (and just use the last version of steam that works on xp) I don’t think there is a version that works on XP anymore. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mina7601 Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 And even if there's a version that works on XP, I will just say don't expect too much when using one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tekkaman Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 (edited) This is why I don't support steam at all. Let's say you have a game you like that only runs on XP, or 7 ? Then you can't play it because you can't run steam. DRM all it does is an annoyance for the people that do buy games.

kuja killer Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 (edited) Hello. Steam still works just fine for me on Windows XP. i remember downloading a modded archive of steam here from the MSFN win XP forum a few years ago. (or the youtube link it linked to after following all the directions) This is not the same youtube video i used, but it's extremely similiar though and should work though. It's by one of the members of this very forum here. https://youtube.com/watch?v=BfwEHK-Yg2Q here's a screenshot i took just a momment ago while typing this reply. I can view the latest news, game releases, info, friends list works, all is working just fine. Edited April 9, 2023 by kuja killer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekkaman Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 In that same video if you see the recent comments, many people report that either they can't connect or that they have to download games from another computer. I hate steam with a passion. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xp128bit Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 You can still get an older version of steam to work on XP but it can't download games and transferring games from another pc also doesn't work 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
