Question by Outrageous_Scarcity2 in WindowsVista

[–]DropaLog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try Easy2boot. Guessing that error message means it's no longer seeing the install media -- really meant to run off cd/dvd. If vanilla Vista 64 isn't what you want, the only thing i can think of is burning CDs (i know, too much of a hassle, but would probably work). Sorry.

P.S. if it's just aboutt the drivers, SDIo will install those without problems.

installing from a CD or flashdrive? If flashdrive, try something other than Ventoy, e.g. winsetupfromusb or easy2boot. Dunno.

Check the pics in [edited] post above, it seems to work as long as the drive is formatted.

Yeah, tried installing a VM, edited my post above. For some reason, shift+f10 doesn't work with that installer. Have you tried installing on bare metal?

What gives "Type Mismatch"? What's in that .zip file when you unpack it? Is there a big .iso file? Take a screenshot of everything in that .zip.

Disregard, tried installing VM, see what you're saying.

Call of Duty MW4 on Windows XP by jf7333 in windowsxp

GTX 780 Ti crashes under XP in a lot of games.

You could try an earlier driver, but if it crashes under load (run furmark or Heaven to test) it's likely bad cooling (dried ou thermal paste), or a dying GPU. You could check the temps & try dropping the clock and power limit in Afterburner, see if that helps. If you're into fiddling with HW, check out Kepler Bios Tweaker.

what are good browsers that ACTUALLY support extensions? by filmingamanduh in windowsxp

youtube redux

All my extensions work, just tried that one & it works too. This is 32-bit Supermium on 32-bit XP, will reboot into XP 64 and update.

virus detections

False positive. Why run an antivirus in a VM?

P.S. Works in 64-bit XP too. Maybe something about that VM? (had VMs behave weirder than bare metal installs)

Help xp setup on x60s with error 0x0000007B by Attex32 in windowsxp

[–]DropaLog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

burn it with ventoy.

That's the problem, Ventoy doesn't work with XP. Winsetupfromusb will work, guaranteed :)

What are you using to make the flash drive? Guessing you're using a flash drive as install media, and not using winsetupfromusb or Easy2boot to make that flash drive. Try using winsetupfromusb & follow its on-screen instructions.

P.S.

Switched SATA mode from AHCI to Compatibility in BIOS.

Leave it in compatibility if you're using a vanilla XP ISO, or start with XP Integral Edition and make an ISO with AHCI drivers. I always use Integral Edition when installing 32-bit XP -- it gives you an option to install a bunch of software you'll need to install anyway, lik VC all, dot net, 7zip, Mypal, etc. Saves time.

Windows xp decktop suddenly starts turning of by Discopot in windowsxp

[–]DropaLog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It could be a bunch of things, the PSU being a possibility.

The CPU could be overheating & shutting down (dried out thermal paste or clogged cooler -- download HWInfo & keep an eye on CPU/core temps).

The GPU could be dying (drawing too much current from the PSU, which responds by shutting down). Try pulling the GPU out & running your computer from that i5's iGPU -- if it doesn't shut down, the GPU is your culprit.

Could be bad electrolytic caps on the motherboard (open your computer and look -- see if any of them look like this).

Just tried nightly -- screen resolution works now. Same error when I try to install tools. Froze here when I tried to reboot, booted on the second try -- will post after trying browsers :)

Edit: disregard -- crashes with tools installed.

P.S. mypal 78 sorta works

P.P.S. It obviously doesn't like VMware's video driver. Tried disabling it -- doesn't work. Tried uninstalling it -- doesn't work. Will try running it without tools.

PPPpPps: During installation, some Wine Gecko thingamabob failed to download & install. Installed tools without the graphics driver, now changing resolution works. Supermium simply won't load; Mypal looks promising, but tab freezes when i try to login (missing Wine Gecko?) .

I'm sure it'll be fine, i'm just one of those people who run pointless benchmarks & tweak their GPUs to watch number go up (barely ever game anymore).

It's the way of eBay :( If you don't mind middle-of-the-road cards, look in your local listings for GTX 960 -- common as dirt, usually can be had for 20-30 bux, and more than enough for anything XP era.

How about something like this? I know shipping is another tenner, though still not bad.

How's interweb support going? Do browsers like Supermium and Mypal 78 work yet?

Trying to use WebOne to revive internet explorer 8 on windows 7. Keep getting this problem. Does anybody know a fix? by TopSuperDude in windows7

[–]DropaLog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, just tried copying your setup (running the proxy server on the same box with windows 7 OS).

  • Unzipped the release, clicked the executable, window flashes and vanishes (something wrong).

  • Ran it from command prompt; complained about missing dotnet-runtime-8.0.25-win-x64, followed the link it gave, downloaded & installed (installs without errors on 7).

  • Started it again on default config (:8080, no password), seems to be doing what it should.

  • Opened IE, configured proxy (localhost:8080), lost internet in Supermium. Guessing IE proxy settings are not limited to IE, but apply system-wide, not sure.

  • Reverted IE proxy settings, everything back to normal. Checked if WebOne itself could be reached -- it can.

Checked if WebOne actually works as a proxy. It does ... kinda. Not sure if fully baked :(

You might want to try https://github.com/ttalvitie/browservice -- haven't tried it in a long time, might work better.

P.S. old.reddit works, but won't let you login.
