Jakob99 Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 (edited) If you are running Windows 7 on a modern-ish laptop that supports 7 (e.g. Skylake, Kabylake, Coffee Lake, and later AMD and Nvidia), and the touchpad isn't working and you can't get its drivers installed, please save the following thread. Hopefully @George King can get the 8.0 I2C driver working under 7! Couple this with the Extended Kernel (if/when the driver is ported) and you'll have a sturdy Windows 7 laptop!

dotexe1337 Posted January 20 Author Share Posted January 20 update - now trying new technique instead of wrappers (since wrappers were unstable) i will make a dll called dotexe1337.dll which contains all of the functions code, then each dll such as kernel32, winhttp, ntdll, etc will forward to this, keeping the original dll intact export address table, export name table, export ordinal table, etc will be enlarged to add forwarded functions and rva's adjusted accordingly 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baluw Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Just now, mina7601 said: What's wrong with Discord? 1. Why should I create an account (were I not to have one already?) and join a server purely to download a single .dll when it could simply be hosted somewhere for direct downloading? 2. Why should I trust a platform known for censorship and getting rid of parts of their community they deem problematic in any way? 3. Why should OP host these files on Discord, considering they MIGHT (keyword) fall under copyright law violations depending on what Microsoft feels like waking up tomorrow? 4. And, most importantly, why should I be forced to use a platform which violates my privacy in every single possible way? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to make a website to host downloads, documentation, etc soon. Discord has been temporary just to discuss development and such while it was in beta. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotexe1337 Posted January 26 Author Share Posted January 26 Today I released v3 of the Windows 7 Extended Kernel. Please give it a try! =) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veso266 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Yes, thats wonderfull, was wondering whats the difference between your kernel and this one: https://github.com/vxiiduu/VxKex it seams this one does not require any core system files to be patched but is not developed anymore... I also found this: https://github.com/Blaukovitch/API-MS-WIN_XP which is a ported windows 11 apis back to windows 7 and XP which might be usefull to make programs that for some strange reason require (the strangest is when an updated does that) newer apis that windows 7 lacks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dotexe1337 Posted February 17 Author Share Posted February 17 i did a twitch stream today under "science & technology" working on the exkernel, made some progress. csdversion (service pack) in getversionexw is now fixed, though i have some kinks to work out for 32-bit. after i fix 32-bit i am going to modify getversionexa to exclude IE dll's, which should fix the IE security popup when version spoofing is enabled. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
