Windows XP drivers not working/broken under Windows 2000 Extended Kernel/Core.


Recommended Posts

This thread is for the discussion of Windows XP drivers that do not currently work or are broken under 2000, even with the Extended Kernel/Core, and there are many. While several XP drivers have been made to work (e.g. Intel Ethernet, Broadcomm Ethernet, USB3, etc, etc), a lot do not work, or do, but are broken in some fashion. I'm gonna list off the ones that I know for sure do not work or are broken:

Not working:

*Intel Centrino WiFi cards

*Broadcomm WiFi cards

*Realtek WiFi cards (like the 8188 and so on)

*IDT audio (most commonly seen in Dell Latitude laptops from 2010 or so to 2014 or so. Without this, no sound output on laptops like Latitude E6530).

*Intel HD Graphics for Intel Haswell (but the XP driver is broken. If it could be fixed, I see no reason why it wouldn't also work on Broadwell a la Skylake graphics working on Kabylake to Comet Lake)

Broken:

*Qualcomm Atheros AR5B125 and related WiFi cards (It works, but whenever I have it enabled, the computer lags severely due to an increase in CPU usage caused by @blackwingcat's driver)

I'm not really concerned about getting the Atheros AR5B125 card working properly as it has issues with the Windows XP One-core API (I have a multi-boot of 2000, XP-64, Vista, and 7 on Aspire E1-531). Realtek, on the other hand, does not have issues with ocapi, so I would appreciate it if we could get such cards like the 8188 and 8179 working under 2000 (both of which I have). These seem like they would be easier to mod than the Intel Centrino cards, but, when I changed NTx86.5.1 to NTx86.5.0, 2k still tells me there is no compatible driver. Even leaving it as 5.1 produces the same message. If there are any other essential drivers not working or are working, but broken, please do feel free to post em!
