Eclipse Community

A few months after this forum was created, the Canadian bank BMO introduced an Eclipse credit card.

But I don't want to rename it already. RP doesn't matter that much anyway.

If you want to see long support periods, check out Solaris. That will best even MS by a longshot.

But all I see is MS deteriorating, but not as bad as the competition. No desire to improve.

I'd say that Apple is getting into a pissing match with MS for the title, especially now that Big Sur sends executable hashes to a server on application launch.

I had forgotten about this topic. But the Dell thing is quite important in this case. For NT 5.x setup to "find" the install USB, you need a modified NTDETECT.COM. My situation is a bit messy these days (temporarily moved and relying on a win10 machine for Internet access) so it will take ...

A page posted on the MS documentation site claims that Windows 8.1 does not presently support TLS 1.2, then goes on to claim that Windows 8.1 (2012 R2) does not support two TLS 1.2 ciphers. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/troubleshoot/administration/authentication-errors-tls12-support Th...

If ISOs are to be presented on Eclipse, all unattended product keys must be removed. This can be done by processing the ISO through nLite, and blanking the product key in the "unattended" section. NFOs and other files containing the product key should also be removed, though anyone making ...

Have any of you checked the extended kernel thread recently? Sticky notes will take longer due to reimplementation of registry functions in kernel32, but calc and paint are working.

While it is considerably easier to place new sections in PE32+ files below .rsrc and .reloc, I realized that this makes any resource modding impossible as any expansion of rsrc and dislocation of reloc seems to enroach on any code below. Ximonite posted a similar method, though I had trouble replica...

Further testing resulted in another reinstall of win2k. I found out some more things: Perhaps the one-second timeout was a fluke, as the next install produced a standard 30-second timeout. The OS/2 LVM also causes Windows 2000 to freak out if changes are committed through it (moving the pagefile to ...

After my win2k install on my ThinkPad T41 fell apart, I reinstalled after installing OS/2 Warp 4.52 on a FAT16 partition. NTLDR picked up on OS/2 and added it to the boot menu. Both OSes are working well. Windows 2000's multi-booting documentation only mentions DOS, NT 4.0 (though NT 3.51 is also kn...

To remove the Authenticode certificate block from the end of a PE file, I found this tool works well. https://github.com/jschicht/RemoveCertificate At first I was using a CLI-based tool (with a shortcut to make it take advantage of dragging-and-dropping target files), and when I started to write thi...

I am quite pleased with the availability of Windows debugging symbols. The MS Symbol Server even has them for build 6519's HAL. Windows symbol packages also seem to be the only source for debugging symbols for third-party drivers (as shipped with the OS, and I believe MS may compile some of them), a...

I also tried 10.0.6 and got the same error. 10.0.7 was released in July 2015, so it would have been too early for that.

I had to get off 10.0.1 because I was getting occasional BAD_POOL_HEADER bugchecks upon returning from standby with that version.

I didn't bother posting the log because it said little more than "procedure "InstallMSI" failed".

I had difficulty upgrading from 10.0.1 to 10.0.7 today on Vista. The MSI would fail if run with the normal installer, but it worked after copying the vmware temp folder somewhere else then running msiexec.exe /i vmwareworkstation_x64.msi EULAS_AGREED=1. I haven't changed my extended kernel install m...

Application Verifier is an offshoot of Windows compatibility shims. You can use compat mode on XP x64 to install Office 2010 x86 if setup.exe is set to "Windows XP". The method for 2010 x64 requires setting appverifier to Vista/7. There's actually one component of 2010 x64 that doesn't wor...

Cities: Skylines cannot launch through Steam on XP x64 since 2017, but it can be launched through "other" methods.

Perhaps CS:GO is in the same boat on Vista.

I believe the Sticky Notes, much like InkBall come from XP Tablet PC Edition 2002. Even some of InkBall's UI elements remind me of the silver Luna skin.

If you go to Snipping Tool options and uncheck "Show selection ink after snaps are captured", the red border disappears. As for the reason why most built-in win7 applications do not work on Vista, it is because they call several telemetry functions not present in Vista. I do plan on adding...

And also, remember this forum guideline:

This is a Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition x64 VL ISO featuring all updates to April 2019, IE8, WMP10 and Intel SATA drivers covering up to the 300 series.

There have been a few projects, like BWC's extend kit for XP/2003, Dibya's ExtendedXP, the XomPie wrapper package and the only active one is Samuka's One-Core-API (not much activity in the past few years, though there was a commit in November and then claimed in January that he was getting WDDM supp...

bet you cant play this on vista

Fact-check in aisle I please.

2) You seemingly figured that one out already, the only difference here being is that stickies aren't split between tables. I feel like phpBB might have such an option to allow stickies to be 'highlighted' as stickies better (putting them in a separate table if I'm remembering rightly), so it's cer...

You mean installing Windows XP x64 from USB? I do that all the time with WinSetupFromUSB. I prefer USB installs of NT 5.x for the most part, and if the drive is formatted NTFS it will be considerably faster than from CD/DVD. The only caveat is that it seems to fail with non-ACPI HALs, but those aren...

This is a slipstreamed ISO of Windows XP Professional x64 SP2 VL, containing all updates through April 2019. For the convenience of users, an Intel SATA AHCI/RAID driver covering up to the 300 series is included. You can use nLite to slipstream other AHCI/RAID drivers. https://archive.org/details/xp...

August 2018 would be the first with incompatible updates. Pentium Ms have SSE2, but I do have a Pentium III desktop where I quickly noticed SSE2 instructions being called by a certain usp10.dll from W7 (scrolling over folder/file icons in a standard explorer window). Athlon XP users should also be a...

What exactly are you waiting for me to finish? I would like to know so I can prioritize those things. If possible, I'd like to see the addition of GetRawInputDeviceInfoA to user32 so PCem/86box will load. It doesn't rely directly on win32k IIRC. I was also thinking of the SSE stuff. Maybe a patcher...

BWC uses a customized installer, which put the hotfix in an IExpress (and now VBScript) wrapper. His extended kernel installer also offers a myriad options, which doesn't make it suitable for slipstreaming. He made HFSLIP packages that do integrate kernel/core, but they are outdated and come with ac...
