Click on the link, then download it from Pirate Bay.
You should have a torrent software installed on your PC.
If you don't know what Torrent is, then search Google.
Good luck.

Search your BIOS for AHCI Mode or IDE Mode.
If there is any, choose IDE Mode. Or disable AHCI mode.
Or you have to go to the manufacturer website (HP) and search for Mass Storage drivers for your laptop.
Good luck.

That should not have happened at all!
You've propably upgraded your old Windows!
You should do a clean install, not an upgrade.

Hey Maher,

I'm downloading your latest June 2011 version of Windows XP Professional SP3 (which is going VERY fast, might I add) and I was just wondering if it'll be safe to use windows update on after installed, or if you recommend I use the very popular Windows XP Activator Genuine or another tool possibly?

Thank You,

Zayoh

You can use Windows update.
Don't use any extra tool.

Hi, Maher!

I love your work:-). However, Comodo AV detected some malware in the June 2011 distro; here are the details:

F:\I386\TSWEB1.HT_
TrojWare.HTML.Exploit.CodeBase.~Exec@226875254 > tsweb1.htm

F:\I386\IIS6.CAB
TrojWare.HTML.TrojanClicker.IFrame.aej@226922520 > IIS_adsutil.vbs

The big issue is that I downloaded the ISO straight from your user in TPB :-( and this trojan propagates to the whole system, specially at the Temp folder.
BTW, this is a clean install and the burning was also done under a clean install with no ISO modification.

I'd really appreciate your help in solving this problem.

Regards,
Wonder

Hello Wonder,

This is a flase positive!
Try scanning the same files using another AV, you will find nothing!
Use http://www.virustotal.com/ to scan a file using lots of AV software at a time.

Good luck.

The CD is bootable.
You just have to burn the file you downloaded into an empty CD and do a clean install.
You can't upgrade your existing Windows using this CD.
Good luck.

To be able to run the recovery console you need the original XP CD, not a modified one!
Mine is modified, which means you can't use it for recovery options.

Hi

I've used your "integrated" version of XP for while...

Now I'm going to install your vers. on a SSD disk.
I planned activating AHCI mode(SATA), is there AHCI drivers in your XP.
I've read warning using AHCI-mode with XP can give driver problem.

Already tested the SSD with "IDE-mode" and it works. Cause I forgot to activate "AHCI"

I hope activate AHCI will fix my problems with that system randomly freezes (no blue screen) windows just stops working can't move mouse...

What do you know about running dual op's on SSD with 2 partitions?
I'm running XP/win7 now on two partions (without Partition alignment) and not AHCI-mode.
What can be reason to my freezes?

Thanks for your great XP versions

Hi

I've used your "integrated" version of XP for while...

Now I'm going to install your vers. on a SSD disk.
I planned activating AHCI mode(SATA), is there AHCI drivers in your XP.
I've read warning using AHCI-mode with XP can give driver problem.

Already tested the SSD with "IDE-mode" and it works. Cause I forgot to activate "AHCI"

I hope activate AHCI will fix my problems with that system randomly freezes (no blue screen) windows just stops working can't move mouse...

Sorry, but I've never tested SSD yet!
May be a little Google search will help you..

Hello there Mr.Maher ! :)

I am currently downloading your windows XP release , planning on fixing my friend's computer.
( he lost the windows xp cd -.- ) .

Some information :
The HDD is formatted , clean and fresh motherboard & cpu & ram . ( only the HDD is old )
I'm going to put this version onto a usb stick since i wasted too many CD's on making boot-able cd's .

Some questions :
-Will this also work from " Boot - From - usb " ?
- If so , do i simply have to mount the img file and copy those files onto a usb stick ? or the entire img file ?

Waiting for a positive response, i thank you already for this release !



EDIT :
I copied the files in the img file on the usb stick , my pc didnt boot from the usb stick :/
Also  , i burned the img file onto a CD-R disk ( 700mb one ) After loading those drivers etc etc , it said " Setup is running windows " POOM blue screen of death. :s

I burned the disk on 4x speed , very carefully etc .

Is it the type of disk which is wrong ? I don't know rly :/

Hi Mather, I'd firstly like to echo other's sentiments and say yes, great D/L, VERY fast indeed! My Antivi too picked up a Trojan and an 'UpgrMalware' shortly after D/L. Having said that, I was D/L some music & keygens at the same time, could just as easily have been those...

My problem is with installing it though? New PC came equipped with a W7 Ultimate copy, only to be expected in Thailand... As I've only 2G RAM decided to use old XP instead. Installed but the 6y/o disc I had somewhat corrupted, drivers missing etc.

D/L your copy, attempted an update (now I've read has to be full install), wouldn't take saying false install already using Setup.exe. Attempted a full install, now I'm getting blue-screen failure saying I've a virus on F Drive, need to clear it & chkdsk. Can't run Antivi as no fully operational OS. Can't connect to internet, drivers missing.
Formatted F instead and chkdsk, no problems.
Attempted reinstall, same blue screen & message.
Can reinstall the old, incomplete XP no trouble.
Try yours again, same problem.
With yours I've no 'F10 for complete new installation' option from boot
Used old to open option, switched discs and yours NEARLY loaded, almost, but not quite, bluscr, virus msg.
Tried to install on D so I can format C, no joy, bluscr...
Disabled drivers on C to FORCE installation on D, no joy...
Disk Manager won't open, unavailable

I was at it until 4am and have quite frankly completely run out of ideas, I'm useless with C.Prompt etc. All drives apart from C are now formatted & completely clear, can you tell me what my next move should be please?

Thanks in advance, I still appreciate the free D/L, and in less than 20min too!

Regards,

Milo

Serials/Activation codes/Keygens/Genuine Advantage patches/fixes all available on ISO-Hunt/PirateBay same page as this prog.D/L if that's any help?
http://isohunt.com/torrent_details/321776473/windows+XP+keygen?tab=summary

I think this was the one I D/L although that had a single comment & thanks confirming it was virus free. Appears to have everything you'll need? As always, check the othes on the page 1st and once D/L perform a right-click virus scan on the folder/files before unzipping...!

Hello,
Regarding the boot from USB, you should use a special program to do so. You can't just copy the image or the files in the image into the USB, it won't work!
You have to use a special tool to be able to install Windows XP from USB. Search Google for this tool.
I don't think the problem is with the CD you're using. It might be a hardware problem.
Try to install from a USB and let's see if you face the same error.
Good luck.

Hello Milo,
Download Hiren's BootCD from the Programs section and burn it into a CD.
Use any partition tool from there (Acronis for example) to format all partitions.
Try installing again.

Hi Maher,

Not a clue what happened; was going to get into BOIS and prevent recognition of C drive. Figured that before I did it may just be worth installing that 6y/o XP, so there was only one OS on C in case I needed to return to it.
Put the old disk in, lo & behold there's the correct Startup screen, not displayed until now? I swapped disks for yours pretty sharpish! Uploaded a treat, just a couple of drivers not installed correctly? IDE channels which are now sorted, WGA Video controller I'm still struggling with...

All in all a very successful result, thanks again for your consideration!

Kindest regards,

Milo

Driver Genius detects both missing and outdated drivers.
Just run it without an internet connection, it will you at least the name of your missing driver.
Search for that on Google, or post it here.

Make sure that your CD/DVD ROM is your first boot device in the bios settings.

( I'm Joeri , the poster who recently had trouble fixing his friend's PC )
My problem was simple , when i installed windows XP i always had a blue screen of death when it was done loading the drivers and starting to load windows.

However , you told me that it could be a hardware problem , so i explored my BIOS settings a little bit , and changed the main booting device , and the primary HDD to select the booting software out etc etc , long story short  : i messed a bit around with the bios settings.

When it installed windows XP it worked like a charm , no blue screens , no file errors , not a single one ! :D
The pc is fully active now , it boots up in just under 25 seconds now , fully loaded etc etc .

From the deepest part of my heart , i thank you , Maher ! :)

That means your SATA drivers are not included in my release!
You have to locate them yourself from the manufacturer website and copy them into a USB or a floppy drive.
Another option is to disable AHCI from you BIOS. Or change from AHCI into IDE.
Good luck.

waalaikom assalam,
1. .NET Framework is optional! You can download it and install yourself.
2) I don't like to mess alot with the original content, that's why I don't remove drivers.
3) This must be a virus from your side! Extract the original image from me and scan it, you won't find any viruses!
4) Regarding .NET Framework, install the latest: Version 4. You can find it in the Programs section.
Good luck.

Hey Maher,

I wrote image to the cd at 1x speed and after i load from disk it just goes to the black screen with the cursor blinking in the upper left. Nothing happens afterwards.. I used imgburn btw.

How can I get this windows to boot up so I can install ?

I think your PC is not booting from the CD!
Check your boot options in the BIOS and make sure that your first boot device is your CD/DVD ROM.

PROBLEM:

booting from USB drive on a acer aspire one.

selected 1st option: "text mode setup" -- that worked but now "2nd, GUI mode setup" throws HAL.DLL error
selecting "---> DEBUG," just says "I/O erroremulti(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\BOOTSECT.DOS"

what the ****...

Am I supposed to take the thumb drive out to do the 2nd phase?
What tool you used for that?

Hey Maher,

I recently DLed the Windows XP Pro SP3 for July because my old version of windows broke. So after getting my hard drive to be stable again I'm trying to boot it up from the burned disk. I wrote image to the cd at 1x speed and after i load from disk it just goes to the black screen with the cursor blinking in the upper left. Nothing happens afterwards.. I used imgburn btw.

How can I get this windows to boot up so I can install ?

Thank you
I think your PC is not booting from the CD!
Check your boot options in the BIOS and make sure that your first boot device is your CD/DVD ROM.
Good luck.

It's my first boot option in the bios.. One thing I noticed though is that opening it on other computers. It doesn't open as an auto play. It opens up so I can see the individual files.

It's correct to burn the .ISO image to the cd right? and not the folder as data? I only have one more cd so I need to get this right.

Hey, why do you bother with creating and supporting pirated windows OS's if you don't have a rootkit or something in them? In other words, if you haven't loaded it with a virus then what else could you possibly have to gain from putting the time and effort into it?

Lol,

uhm I did burn it as an image. I was just verifying. For some reason it doesn't load as an autorun. Why is this? Other ISO CD's I have to run as an autorun program. Are the files missing something?

We're all pirates here, or have you forgotten? Generally I have had more problems with software I've bought legally than with stuff I downloaded off torrent sites, usenet or even computer bulletin boards (remember them?). Besides, there are plenty of antivirus programs to go around to look for problems that may exist in all software, legal or otherwise. Bill Gates' Microsoft Security Essentials is a free download, and quite honestly I swear by it. Combine it with another freebie (Spybot Search & Destroy), and I've never had a problem.

Any way to load this via usb drive? My problem is that my computer is not recognizing the CD drives because the drivers are out of date/corrupt, and I can't connect to the internet without installing the PCI adapter driver via said drives. I also can't load the OS via the drives either, so a little bit of a problem.

What I know is that the latest MUI was for SP2, and there is a small patch file from Microsoft to fix some non-translated strings in SP3.
No MUI for SP3 I guess.
So what you need to do is to get MUI for SP2, then download the patch to fix it. I think the patch will appear in Windows Updates automatically.
Good luck.

You can search Google or YouTube. There you will find lots of helpful tutorials.
For a start, use ImgBurn or CDBurnerXP to burn the file you downloaded into an empty CD.

You need to download your HDD SATA drivers from the manufacturers website and copy them into a USB flash and point to it when asked during setup.

I have Linux Ubuntu on my HTPC but got tierd of fixing stuff all the time so i downloaded your torrent.
Question though: Can i burn the .zip directly on a CD? How do i do that without messing up?
This is not a ZIP file, but it looks like it. It's actually an ISO file.
Search Google: How to burn an ISO file into a CD.
Good luck.

I burned the files on a USB and installed the first part. Now it says "Windows could not start beacuse this file is missing or is corrupt:
<Windows root>\system32\hal.dll
Please re-install the copy of the above"


What do i do?

Try burning the CD again with minimal speed.

Hi Maherz thank you very much for this torrent. I haven't yet installed on my laptop.
I got Toshiba laptop with vista and thinking to go for XP.  I understood that the setting in the bios must be changed, right?
Where can I find the AHCI or IDE mode in the Bios because I can't find it and what must I change?
Why must I burn it slow actually?

Clear your DLLCACHE (to do that, go Start > RUN... in there you type DLLCACHE... and delete all of the files in there... that should do the trick... it's done the same for me).

Don't change anything now. Try installing without changing anything, it will propably work.
Burning at slow speed will guarantee you no mistaked during burning.
Good luck.

I have tried to burn the xp image on a new cd rw but after finishing burning proces the cd rw is still empty and it doesn't saved any data on the disc.
Is it only possible in a CD r ? I  burned the image several times with nero and poweriso, 4 speed, but same problem. I don't understand it ???.


Is it possible to make a bootable usp with the xp image I download?
And what kind tool or programs are working to make a xp bootable usp ?

Thanxx

It's better to burn on a new CD-R.
You can use win2flash to make USB bootable and ready to install Windows XP.

I've installed xp on my laptop but there are some problems.
I did not want to format or delect vista from my laptop but want to instal XP as a partition, so I can use both of them. I didn't format or overwrite vista.

I installed it from USB, I made it first bootable. Everything went okay till the setup finished and restarted I had a problem with XP installation.

I can't go further and the message saying some file is missing or corrupt,   Windows root>\system32\Hall.dll
I had to install vista again because I couldn't go through this message.

I don't know what to do now, please advise me by this problem how I can solve this nightmare.

Visual C++ is not included in Windows XP! You have to install it yourself.
Search Google for download links.

Just burn the file you downloaded into an empty CD!
Don't change anything.
Open any burning software and search for "burn image file" or something like that.
Browse to the file you downloaded, and you're done.
Good luck.

Why anyone would still want to have Vista installed on his system is beyond my comprehension. As for XP, sure it's a great operating system (I must have used it for 8 years or so). However, the concept many people don't want to understand is that, especially in the world of computing and electronics, having to upgrade is simply not an option. As time passes there will be less and less support for XP until it goes the way of Windows 95 and 98. The same will happen in a few years to 32-bit computing, and before you know it 128 bit computers and software will be introduced (mark my words). You know, I remember back in 1991 when a computer with an Intel 80386 processor (the first 32 bit) with 33 Mhz speed would set you back $10 grand. I even remember reading an article in PC World where the author talked about 32 bit computing and said <paraphrasing> "32 bit computers and software can address 4 gigs of memory -- a limitation you will probably never reach in your lifetime."

you are right man but I had never like vista I change from XP to SEVEN if someone ask me for support to vista I don't do it I suggest setup SEVEN but some time still we need use XP for some reason may be a netbook or for compatibilities reasons even now it is possible use XP MODE on SVEN in some cases visualization is not a good solution also there are people who resist to changes and ask for XP...

1) It will work on a newly built computer flwalessly.
2) You have to burn the image file you downloaded into an empty CD with minimal speed to avoid errors during burning.
3) To install it, look into YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=how+to+install+windows+xp&aq=f) or Google (http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy&hl=en&site=&source=hp&q=how+to+install+windows+xp&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.&fp=5c5eb57d9694a1bb&biw=1920&bih=955) for tutorials.

Whether you burn it into a CD or a DVD, it will work.
I don't know GBurner, but any burning software will do the job.
Check out the Programs (http://www.nomaher.com/forum/index.php?board=2.0) section, you will find ImgBurn, it's good.

Hey Maher.

I have a few questions. I don't know if it has been answered before (I haven't gone through the 18 pages of Q&A) but I really need a concrete answer from you.

If I download your torrent and burn it in slow speed on a RW CD, will I be able to use this CD (engraved with XP) with a program like BootCamp, Parallels, VmWare Fusion or Virtual Box? I am currently using a MacBook Pro and badly want to play some PC games. I need Windows XP at a very low cost (free, in this case) since I am a student and was wondering if your torrented XP would fit on such programs that needs a Windows Operating System, in the first place, to work.

Previously, I said I was using a RW CD, but do you suggest me another kind of CD that would fit more the need of this file?

Thank you very much. I am patiently waiting for an answer.

Hello Frank,
Ofcourse you will be able to use it with the programs you mentioned.
I'd recommend using CD-R and burn with minimal speed.

Previously, I said I was using a RW CD, but do you suggest me another kind of CD that would fit more the need of this file?

Thank you very much. I am patiently waiting for an answer.
Hello Frank,
Ofcourse you will be able to use it with the programs you mentioned.
I'd recommend using CD-R and burn with minimal speed.
Good luck.

Ok,
thank you very much for the quick and helpful answer. I take good note of what you previously said.

Hey Maher.

I have a few questions. I don't know if it has been answered before (I haven't gone through the 18 pages of Q&A) but I really need a concrete answer from you.

If I download your torrent and burn it in slow speed on a RW CD, will I be able to use this CD (engraved with XP) with a program like BootCamp, Parallels, VmWare Fusion or Virtual Box?

Hey maher, first of all, thanks for the effort of putting this torrent up, but i have a small problem.
I cleaned my computer completly with FDisk, and then tried your CD, it wouldn't boot. I used a program: Mini XP
to try to instal it from there, and i was able to start the screen where you can choose instal, system compitable, but i simply cant click the instal button, it sort of like greyed out, just as everything else in the menu. Any help would be appreciated.

You can't install it from inside Mini XP!
If the CD doesn't boot, that means you didn't burn it right, or your boot order in the BIOS is not set correctly.
Are you sure your CD/DVD ROM is set as your first boot device?
How did you burn the CD?

Hello Mr. Maher,

My friend's computer became corrupt with the message: Windows XP could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM

He is running Windows XP Home Edition, but the computer will not start at all even in safe modes because of this message.

I burned the copy of the SP3 to a CD-R disk and set the BIOS to boot first from CD/DVD, yet it continues to not find the disk.

Mr. Maher,

I burned the exact .iso to the CD-R, but then I found out he was using Windows XP Media Edition, so I'm sure it would not work in the first place.
To my understanding, he re-located another media edition .iso and installed from that, but now gets a fatal error message after attempting to do the clean re-install.

Good Morning (in philippine time), i succesfully install your window xp sp3.. I have a problem in when gone installing the OS, the internet is not detect when im install it. But i can fix it i'm using "Driver Robot" to update the my driver's.

Mr. Maher,

When I burned your release, the .iso to a CD-R, I set in the computer's BIO's to boot from the CD drive, but nothing would happen. It would continue loading to the screen saying \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM is corrupted, and to insert the Windows XP disk and press "r" to repair. I press r, but it does the same process again and does not even detect the CD.

My friend then came to me saying he downloaded an .iso of Windows XP Media Edtion, burned it to a CD, and then it worked, but now he gets a Fatal Error during the clean-installation, and it says it needs to restart the installation. This is not related to your .iso release, but I'm still confused why the computer would not detect your Windows XP SP3 .iso on the CD.

That's because Windows XP does not have a driver for your internet hardware.
Using any driver software will fix the issue.

You have to use a burning software like ImgBurn 2.5.5.0 (http://www.nomaher.com/forum/index.php?topic=293.0)

You should have backed up drivers before formatting.
Anyway, now you have to use any driver detection software to detect missing and outdated drivers and download them
Search Google for such software.
I recommend Driver Genuis or Driver Pack Solution.

Regarding drivers, it's better to back them up before you format and install a new system.
If you don't backup, you might need drivers for them and you might not. Regarding your hardware.
You can use any driver software detection to install them later.
Good luck.

hello Dear Maher, i m facing a problem at the very start of installation right after it loads files... The problem comes when i put the CD into the drive and press any key to boot from CD , it starts loading necessary files before drive selection option ..
The error message is "STOP: c000021 Unknown Hard Error\SystemRoot\System32\ntdll.dll"

It only happens in your Windows XP installation process but not when i try installing Windows XP with service pack 2 (my old windows XP CD which requires CD key to enter)

My hard disk is Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 40 GB SATA hard drive...
I think there might be some problem in my hard disk because it is very old now :D . but why the old one window with service pack 2 is installing ? and also i have tried another window xp service pack 3 lite edition(170mb) .. which also work fine and install without any problem..
Plz Help me if possible

Use any burning software and look for an option like "burn image file".
You will be prompted to locate the ISO image file that you downloaded.
Choose speed (minimal speed) and you're done.

Hello Jane,
It would be useless to back up drivers on Vista if you're going to install Windows XP later because they are different.
I recommend you and everyone to have a program called "Driver Pack Solution" It's about 3GB but has every driver on the planet!
The program is so easy and detects outdated drivers.
Give it a try and keep it in your PC ;)

Version 11.8 is latest.

1. look it up on google, iso burner and you will find plenty of softwares.
2. you dont need to format all partitions, just the one you will install it on.
3. look in your motherboard, this is how it looks like...


sometimes your computer might not have the port but whether your computer supports sata .. you can look it up in your bios. You just look it up in your bios.



salamulaikum Maher,

I already have windows xp installed on a dual boot with ubuntu, but i want to install your version of xp. Would it be okay if i just installed it over the last installation or should i make a fresh installation. I could do trial and error but don't want to waste my time.. thats all

You can install it from a USB, but you have to use a special tool to do so.
Search Google for win2flash.

You know, for some reason for almost all versions of Windows I've installed, even if you tell the software to create a single NTFS partition encompassing 100% of the drive's capacity, for some reason when you check it after that's done, there's an 8gb partition on the drive left over.

When you create partitions though Windows setup it will leave 8 Megabytes (not Gigabytes :)) and I've never searched what's that for.
Anyway, I don't create partitions during Windows Setup! I do that before using special software like Acronis Disk Director.

Don't extract anything! The file you downloaded is actually the ISO file you're looking for.
It might look like a WinRAR file on your system.

You will need an iso to cd  burner to burn it to a CD... if you have nero.. that should do the job...otherwise there is plenty of iso to cd burning softwares on the internet for free.

By the way, even though the file looks like a RAR file, it actually isn't! It's an ISO file.
Good luck.

You will need an iso to cd  burner to burn it to a CD... if you have nero.. that should do the job...otherwise there is plenty of iso to cd burning softwares on the internet for free.
Thanks for your contribution.

I'm getting the "setup can not find any hard drives" error while using a SATA drive.  My motherboard is a tforce 6100-939.  I don't suppose you know if the sata controllers for that board made it into the july release, or are new to the august release?  I'm kinda at my wits end at this point

If you're stuck on XP, you gotta keep in mind that there were no sata drives when that OS was originally written, so the installation program can't pick them up. It does, however, give you an opportunity to stick in a disk with drivers for anything XP knows nothing about. I believe this is what's causing your problem. Notice that XP doesn't even have drivers for USB 2.0 until service pack 2 was released -- I'm not sure if sata drivers were added later separately or as part of service pack 3. I'm certain that the version Maher uploaded will work with sata, but the installation program is a separate deal altogether. Maher you uploaded this version, please correct me if I'm wrong and if I'm right, can you provide the sata drivers for the installation program?

I installed this on my netbook that has built in wifi, but it won't detect my built in wifi... and I can't boot back my windows 7 preinstalled. I put the windows xp on a partitioned drive so my windows 7 is still on my main drive... I'm using my iPod touch to type this up on this forum... I had a program installed loaded up on my main drive that was suppose to restore my windows 7 boot and could dual mode the 2 os's but it gives me an error after I installed it on windows xp. With no Internet and no acsess to windows 7 I can't do anything besides stare at the windows xp screen without a proper wifi driver...

You can't boot back into Windows 7 and can't get on WiFi with XP, eh? In order to get you back on the net, have you tried as a temporary solution using a long cable and going wired? You might have a driver problem. Did you check Device Manager on XP to see if your WiFi adapter is recognized by XP?

I'm beginning to think if all else fails, get yourself a copy of Win 7 and Daz Loader (or my favorite, w7lxe.exe), and reformat. It's real pain, I know, I have to do it several times, but there was no other solution. This is, of course assuming your temporary wired connection works -- if not maybe a friend can download it for you.

SATA drivers are updated.
You should be able to install Windows now.
Anyhow, I recommend you wait for September release, I will do more updates to the SATA drivers.
Good luck.

I add SATA drivers to avoid sticking a disk with the drivers.
Which means, they are added to make Windows XP install on every new machine.
But the problem is I can't add ALL the SATA drivers. And every few weeks a new driver shows up or is updated, so people have to wait for next relese to be able to install Windows if they are not able to with current release.

Hello James,

To be able to use your Wi-Fi hardware you have to find it's driver.
I recommend using a drivers software such as Driver Pack Solution: http://drp.su

Hello!
My question pertains to the August update of XP. I'm running OS X Lion on my (fairly new) mac, and I require to run windows for a few specific needs. I didn't want to have to bootcamp all the time, so I bought Parallels 6.
The problem I'm having: I downloaded your "Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP3 Integrated August 2011" torrent and tried to run a VM with it through Parallels, but it keeps asking me for a product key. I know you said on TPB that the key is already inserted, so am I doing something wrong? (note: Parallels asks me initially when I'm setting up the VM if the copy of Windows requires a product key and I say no. But later, while finalizing installation, Windows brings up the product key screen and won't let me progress past it).

Many thanks!

You know, one thing I like about computing is that any time you turn the machine on and log onto the net, you learn something. I didn't have a clue this site or this software existed. I've been using Slimdrivers up to now, which by experience gave me the best (or least worst) results and the fewest false positives. I looked at the link you put and was truly surprised that such a thing even existed.

Hi! I have a little question for you. I am currently downloading the august 2011 version of your xp. (torrent from TPB). I am using a dial up internet which gives me 20bkps max. So, It is about to take another 14 or so hours to download the complete iso.

Well, My question is, Is this version of Xp, suports the 'sfc /scannow ' command? I am asking such because, currently I am using some, 2 year old modified Xp downloaded from some torrent, and in it, whenever I try to run sfc, it gives Me an error message "The RPC server is not available"

I love testing new antivirus software s, you can call it my hobby. I keep changing my AV at least once in a week or so. And due to this testing, my os files keep getting corrupted and replaced with strange once, that's why I need sfc to run so badly.

I have downloaded 100mb already or aug. release, I would like to know should I go for the sept. release? What is new in that?

Thanks for reading and thanks in advance. I am waiting eagerly for you response.

Post by: Cojon on September 18, 2011, 06:40 AM
I have no idea what I'm doing. This, like all forums except a few, is so horribly confusing to new people they generally flee like rats in a fire. 

What appears to be the front page of the windows help portion of this has text to "post here" but as always, and in absolute frustration I poke and click on every designated pixel I see but nothing opens a method allowing that action.  So here I am. Not as directed, but in the absence of a front door, I was forced to walk through the kitchen--or perhaps the window would be more descriptive.  Yes, I know I will be insulted by someone assuming that "everyone know how to post to a forum" but the factual, intelligent reality is quite the opposite. Many would be as lost as I and simply turn around and flee like rats from a fire finding that confusion.

OK, enough of that.

I'm trying to find someone who knows what needs to be extracted from a Windows black edition to make a Micro XP setup run with that theme. I presume it is from Vista or 7. 

While I'm certain I can do it, I'm in my seventies and prefer writing books over coding as my short term memory--as expected--has been exhibiting some synaptic wilting and that makes coding and OS investigation extremely tedious, overly frustrating, and far too time consuming for me to find enjoyable as I did in my youth. I probably don't drink enough beer and far too much Dr. Pepper to keep my brain well lubed.   

Anyway...
About five years ago I took XP apart and whittled it down to size so the kernel (or sort of the kernel--it's windows you know) could live contentedly on a 1.5Gib volume, dropping the usual suspects, and allowing the other stuff an escape to volumes of their own.  I built in some extra space (and still have a lot of room left) for apps that I could not coax into believing that M: was actually C:. 

I finally got so discouraged with the bloody bug invasion and coders willing to make a living by disturbing the rest of us, I went to this trouble.  It worked well however and has been absolutely rock solid and virus free since.  I just wish I could get well advertised as stable Linux to be stable . . . and fast. Fedora was solid but I'm getting on in years and punch too many wrong keys with fingers suffering from arthritis. I prefer a decent GUI at my age. I tried a few other Linux distros and settled on Ubuntu--mostly for the Gnome GUI desktop I suppose. 

Ha! Linux was faster initially--before I began carving that is. Now XP is the screamer, and solid too!  I did a search and found your site and the Micro XP. I'm happy to know someone else has gone through that and I'm pleased to see him offer it as a download. I suppose I should look at it. I presume from what I have read that it is superbly and tightly done.   

I do run a few Mib's in pagefile.sys on F: drive (XP's current home) and 328Kib's in three files on F:\Program files, but have 70Gib's in M:\Programs where XP and 7 share the installed apps.  I did roughly the same with 7 getting it down to about 4Gib's but it never achieved the rock stability I had with XP and I brought it back up to 8Gib's retaining the bulk of it and moving only program files, doc&sett, the swap and the temp stuff as I did with windows. I didn't have a lot of luck kicking the junk out without something screaming bloody murder, and decided it was easier to ignore 7 and use Linux (now 10.04 LTS) and XP.

It was all reasonably easy, just basic registry and environment stuff, a silent install, batch files and scripting, but I don't think it's in my cars to do again. 

That provided a stable platform and I made a 2Tib quad booter on a 2.4GB intell CPU in an old Dell case.  I stuck on a Linux and Hackintosh OS, and was pretty content, save for the speed. Linux is really quite pretty, and I find myself enjoying the darker themes. The Mac was my graphic machine. That was then, and now with Photoshop CS5, Bibble and some of the OnOne apps and Topaz, and tons of raw photo stuff that can be 35Mib's as well as huge Tiff's I have changed things. I dropped the Hackintosh, and revised Windows XP and 7 a bit more, but I would like to get XP's appearance up a bit.   

I was here thinking I would have to do it all over again, stripping a system of the theme and then adding it to mine, but after checking out the Micro XP and wandering around online I see that it just may be possible to either find what I need ready to go, or some assistance to create a black theme that looks like Vista in my skinny old XP. 

It wouldn't hurt if you could direct me to a complete set of instructions or where I could download a stripped Win 7 with stability and cured of it's bad habit of being upset at every little thing! Fussy OS that 7.

Many thanks!

Hey man. Great forum!

Problem: just d/l your xp torrent, and it says you don't need product key.
But when installing, I get the prompt for it and can't continue without it.

Please advise.

Thanks!

EDIT:

I got it. Just in case it happens to somebody else, make sure you boot from CD.
Thanks again.

Thanks for all your effort and attention.

Just wanted to let people know that I am booting/installing the cd image I downloaded from a DVD. I didn't read the entire thread but it's worth mentioning again.

Easy enough to do in nero, just change media type after opening ISO image.

Some parts of the world DVD media is WAY cheaper than CD.

Thanks again

I have no idea what I'm doing. This, like all forums except a few, is so horribly confusing to new people they generally flee like rats in a fire. 

What appears to be the front page of the windows help portion of this has text to "post here" but as always, and in absolute frustration I poke and click on every designated pixel I see but nothing opens a method allowing that action.  So here I am. Not as directed, but in the absence of a front door, I was forced to walk through the kitchen--or perhaps the window would be more descriptive.  Yes, I know I will be insulted by someone assuming that "everyone know how to post to a forum" but the factual, intelligent reality is quite the opposite. Many would be as lost as I and simply turn around and flee like rats from a fire finding that confusion.

OK, enough of that.

I'm trying to find someone who knows what needs to be extracted from a Windows black edition to make a Micro XP setup run with that theme. I presume it is from Vista or 7. 

While I'm certain I can do it, I'm in my seventies and prefer writing books over coding as my short term memory--as expected--has been exhibiting some synaptic wilting and that makes coding and OS investigation extremely tedious, overly frustrating, and far too time consuming for me to find enjoyable as I did in my youth. I probably don't drink enough beer and far too much Dr. Pepper to keep my brain well lubed.   

Anyway...
About five years ago I took XP apart and whittled it down to size so the kernel (or sort of the kernel--it's windows you know) could live contentedly on a 1.5Gib volume, dropping the usual suspects, and allowing the other stuff an escape to volumes of their own.  I built in some extra space (and still have a lot of room left) for apps that I could not coax into believing that M: was actually C:. 

I finally got so discouraged with the bloody bug invasion and coders willing to make a living by disturbing the rest of us, I went to this trouble.  It worked well however and has been absolutely rock solid and virus free since.  I just wish I could get well advertised as stable Linux to be stable . . . and fast. Fedora was solid but I'm getting on in years and punch too many wrong keys with fingers suffering from arthritis. I prefer a decent GUI at my age. I tried a few other Linux distros and settled on Ubuntu--mostly for the Gnome GUI desktop I suppose.

I got the dreaded IntelPPM infinite reboot issue after install from SP3. Any body else have a work around for this issue?

Is the base of this release an HP OEM source? Apparently HP had a hell of a time with AMD systems after SP3 rollout.

Heh, yeah i tried google. This was my last stop. Most of those pertain to usb keyboards or they patched or updated a driver or something that caused it...none that i could find dealt with not being able to use after a fresh install. Was hoping you had seen something....bah...ive tried so much. I tried just reinstalling again and trying to put in the drivers before the install is completed(when it asks for 3rd party driver info) but now when i boot from the disk it just loads up and goes to desktop. Any idea how i may be able to make the reinstall work from booting from disk...keeping in mind that the keyboard only works in bios.

This is on an old stock dell computer, but the mouse and keyboard both worked fine before. The drivers and such from dell are on the disk im trying to install post-setup. but i would figure that it wouldnt have issues with a simple ps/2 connection.  Tried 3 keyboards now and managed to get my hands on a ps/2 mouse, also not working.

 I just downloaded your September Windows XP off of kickasstorrents, and it does not work. According to the info on the torrent's download screen, it states quite clearly that the installation key is already part of the software, and would not be needed. Yet, when I go to install, it immediately asks for one. *** is up with that? Have I wasted my time energy and a cd?

while windows include many of the drivers, you should download updated drivers for your hardware from your sound, graphics or network card vendors website and install those.

As for your sata drives, have a look in your disk management under administrative tools in control panel and see if your sata drives are connected. I had the same issue and i just needed to give it a drive letter.. thats all..

You use an iso to cd burner software to burn the image to a cd, then just boot up your laptop from CD and make sure your disk is inserted into your disk drive. The rest is pretty simple. You don't even need the cd key and just follow the steps.

You need to install drivers for your hardware.
You can download them from the manufacturers website, or you can get a driver detection software like Driver Pack Solution http://drp.su

You don't do a factory reset, but you can install new Windows.
Just burn it into a CD and insert it into your CD ROM and restart your PC.
Setup should start.

Hi Maherz, I really appreciate your work. It is very useful to have an installation disk with most updates applied and SATA drivers preinstalled, specially now that many computers come without floppy disk drive. I also like that the installation isn't bloated with unneeded software.

Is there any possibility that you make a similar CD for the Windows XP x64 operating system? I'm not asking to update it frequently as you are doing now, just making a single release once is ok for me. I have found releases from other people, but they are old and have additional unrequired stuff.

Thanks.

Hi Maherz, I really appreciate your work. It is very useful to have an installation disk with most updates applied and SATA drivers preinstalled, specially now that many computers come without floppy disk drive. I also like that the installation isn't bloated with unneeded software.

Is there any possibility that you make a similar CD for the Windows XP x64 operating system? I'm not asking to update it frequently as you are doing now, just making a single release once is ok for me. I have found releases from other people, but they are old and have additional unrequired stuff.

Thanks.
You're welcome.
Don't have x64 XP. And not planning to do it. Sorry.

Heh, yeah i tried google. This was my last stop. Most of those pertain to usb keyboards or they patched or updated a driver or something that caused it...none that i could find dealt with not being able to use after a fresh install. Was hoping you had seen something....bah...ive tried so much. I tried just reinstalling again and trying to put in the drivers before the install is completed(when it asks for 3rd party driver info) but now when i boot from the disk it just loads up and goes to desktop. Any idea how i may be able to make the reinstall work from booting from disk...keeping in mind that the keyboard only works in bios.

This is on an old stock dell computer, but the mouse and keyboard both worked fine before. The drivers and such from dell are on the disk im trying to install post-setup. but i would figure that it wouldnt have issues with a simple ps/2 connection.  Tried 3 keyboards now and managed to get my hands on a ps/2 mouse, also not working.
Really strange! Never ever faced such an issue really.
Try inserting the USB keyboard after Windows starts, does it tell you that it detected new software?
It doesn't, no response at all. Its very strange...the first time i turned it on it worked, but i needed the keyboard for my main computer so i could download the drivers for the dell. When i went to switch it back it no longer worked
Yes, thats really strange.
Did you try changing the USB port you're plugging it into? Still no response?

Just for the record, i'm totally new to this, i have only downloaded more common programs ( like games and office 2010 and stuff). I installed windows (from a usb memory stick) by opening setup in the folder and let the program do its job. I got two errors while installing, can't remember the name, and just skipped it after many retries. Later on, when the rest of the installation was finished, i got bluescreen of death. >:( i tried choosing to boot from the usb stick but bluescreen is all i get. After some trying i get a screen telling me that "windows could not start because of a computer disk hardware configuration problem" and so on.
How to fix this?

Do i have to extract the file after downloading it? (your torrent is a rar file). or do i have to burn it even its a rar file?
With Winrar I get:
Can not open Microsoft.Windows.XP.Professional.SP3.Integrated.September.2011.SATA.By.Maher.Www.nomaher.com]. Iso
The system can not find the path specified.

If you want to burn in Nero Burning Rom 7 tells me:
"This file name is invalid"

Hello Che Boludo (what we affectionately call the Argentinos),

Pardon me for jumping in, I realize this message is for Maher but I thought maybe I could help. First of all, .rar is a compressed file with other files inside it. You can't work with .rar since it's use is strictly for compression to minimize disk space, you have to extract the files first. Do this with Winrar or with Total Commander (my favorite file manager). Both programs can easily be found at the Pirate Bay, cracked and all. Knowing Maher, look for an .iso file and extract it. You can easily burn that with Nero or any of million burning programs out there.

Don't extract it.
Just burn it with any burning program, if Nero doesn't work try ImgBurn, or CDBurnerXP or AstroBurn.

You should be OK with XP. Keep in mind XP is 10 years old and, when it came out in 2001, your computer was state of the art. When I first ran it years ago, I had something similar (or less) than what you have with just 256 MB of memory and it ran OK. As for drivers, with your computer and Maher's XP updates (not to mention his driver CD), I don't see a problem. Stay away from Win 7 until you upgrade or replace it, even the 32bit version wants a minimum 1 GB of memory.

Ubuntu is an excellent alternative. I will run like a bullet even on the oldest computers. I have it installed using Wubi together with Win 7-64 and I absolutely love it. In fact, I remember years ago when I had several computers before I threw out the old ones, Mandrake Linux ran faster on my slowest computer than XP on my fastest.

As for drivers, with your computer and Maher's XP updates (not to mention his driver CD)

I suppose your not allowed to post links, but can you give me the title of the download for his driver CD? I looked through all Maher's TPB torrents and can't see it, thank..

It's not mine :)

P.S. Links allowed! :) I'll update rules later when I have time.

On the app I downloaded at kat.....Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP3 Integrated September 2011 Can this also be used to wipe a hard drive and repartition it too? Before I get started I just want to know this, or go back to my original copy of XP with sp1.
Yes you can.

Hey maher first i want to say WOW you are a really patient man ,
Not many people take the time to answer 90% of the quesions asked you even if it means your just repeating yourself. Its very nice to see


Also i have a quick quesiton myself ahha, I recent bought a combo deal from newegg (bunch of computer parts that put together make a computer but cheaper cause you have to put together yourself. )

What i failed to realise is that it didnt come with an OS. so what im doing is i downloaded your torrent for September 2011 and im putting it onto a usb drive and making it a bootable usb drive Using WIN2FLASH and it seems to be working after i mounted it with daemon tools and selected it as the directory and all that .


Anyways, what my question is,  My new rig is a
-Quad Core
-4gb ram
-1tb hardrive
-(crap) biostar motherboard

I have the cd with the drivers for hte motherboard

My question is, Will this version of windows be able to support the hardware thats on it? Will it recognize all 4 cores ?

Its a SATA HD btw

And when i start up the comp i should have the usb connect right? Ive never booted from a usb before, what do i select in bios ?

Thanks for your help in advance

This XP will run fine on your new PC, and it will recognize the CPU (4 cores).
First you have to connect the USB, go to your bios setup and look for boot options.
Make sure that USB is your first boot device.
Restart and setup will begin.
Good luck.

Can i still use it as a regular usb after i get rid of the files on it?
Title: Re: Windows XP Support

Rainman, just format the USB later and it will go back to normal. If you just delete the content, it will stay as a bootable.

I booted ubuntnu once and my flash showed as it for a while before I formatted.

My question comes next.

My netbook could of came with Xp or starter, I guess I made the wrong choice.

Anyways, I have a desktop and laptop able to be of use. I have a flashdrive and externalHD.

My question is, How do I install the drivers and prepare my system to boot from flash? And overall, is it possible?

I have exerience with computers, but don't understand the booting entirely.

Hello

Found your torrent on pirate bay, sounds to good to be true, but wow thanks, will try it...
I want to get rid of my vista on my 15'' hp  G60-125CA, and may buy a Samsung netbook NC110 which has Windows 7 starter. Could I use your iso to make a USB stick, and how would you recommend going about it?

Thanks

Bye the way any reason why I shouldn't go with a full windows 7? I don't do games, a bit of video editing, mostly wav editing... Thanks again ;D

Yes just your comments, why keep xp, is 7 too much, or not advance enough to make a difference? is it a question of ressources utilisation or memory?

Paleoxp, windows 7 starter is a very stripped down version ov w7

I would say it only looks like w7. if you run the full w7 on the netbook, it would run rather slowly, ever slower then the starter version.

My netbook runs the same speed as my 6 year old laptop with a 1/3 of the power running XP.

Windows 7 is far better than XP! I use Windows 7 64-bit.
But I still do Windows XP for fun :)
If you want to install XP, then use win2flash.
If you want to install Windows 7, then use Microsoft Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool.
Good luck.

Can you give me a name of a tool that can install drivers of the cpu even though there is no internet? I'm searching in google, But i don't think they will work without internet, Because i have seen in my friend he had a tool that installed all of the drivers without internet. Well I can't remember the name of the tool and my friend is now in an vacation.

Hey Maher,

Firstly I'd like to thank you for such an excellent torrent. Very quick download, and very convenient!

I'm running into an issue when installing Windows on a USB drive. I've formatted the drive, then burned (using UltraISO) the .iso onto the drive.

The boot sequence is fine- it's booting to the USB drive first. It says, "analyzing hardware" or something along those lines, before giving me an error: "INF file txtsetup.sif is corrupt or missing, status 18. Setup cannot continue. Press any key to exit."

I tried formatting and re-burning the .iso, but am still receiving the same error. Different USB ports return the same. How do I fix this? For reference, I'm using this (http://"http://www.ezbsystems.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=2;t=2440;st=0") tutorial to install it.

Thanks!

There is no question that Windows 7-64 is far better than XP. As I see it, XP should be used only by those poor schnooks who have ancient computers and can't afford to upgrade. For that matter, many doctors' offices I've visited use XP on their client computers, but then again they don't have the luxury of downloading XP and cracking it like we do, not to even mention the learning curve. Don't get me wrong, Win 7 isn't rocket science by any stretch of the imagination, but try to explain that to a bunch of secretaries who can barely click a mouse. Maher, please answer this for me: what kind of fun can you have with XP -- unless you're using that OS to test warez or something? Do you have it set up in a dual boot configuration with 7 or what?

Hey Maher! I looked at your Pirate Bay page looking for Internet Download Manager Bld 12. I leeched a copy from Demonoid but I don't think it's for real because when I tried to download something, it says something like "Firefox cannot pass the file to IDM" (or something like that). I had to revert back to 11, which does work OK.

I don't dual boot XP and 7. I only use XP on vmware as a virtual machine for testing purposes.

Release w/SATA.  Wanted to stop by and thank you, Maher, for your hard work in making this available!  Just bought an old computer w/XP on it, but it had extensive Virus/Malware damage as well as registry issues.  Did a clean install of your WinXP and all is well.

Thank you again, and keep up the good work!

Live Well!

WoW, i've downloaded the latest release of Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP3 Integrated October 2011 (Many thanks), but i would like to suggest that if possible to add all the drivers instead the SATA drivers. at the end you are distributing it through torrents. So I think it doesn't matter the size to the downloader, because it all up to the downloader, whether he wants the version with all drivers or the SATA drivers only. What you think?

Hello to everyone,

I am trying to burn the ISO of the october release.
And by now I guess you realize that I can´t get it done.
I admit that I am no genius and that I didn´t read all the reply´s.
But I´m stuck and after one hour of searching and trying I decide to just ask for some help.

The thing is that I have tried the programs mentioned on this site
being: Nero, ImgBurn, AstroBurn and CDBurnerXP.

And they all tell me that the file name is invalid.
Or when I try to open it via windows (I mean Right-Click on the icon and then Open With)
that the access is denied.

At this point I am starting to believe that the ISO doesn´t work but that seems
highly unlikely since all the great response everybody is giving.

So I must be doing something wrong or my computer has decided to become
my mortal enemy.

So could someone tell me what the problem is and the solution for it?

Thank you for reading
and more thanks for answering,

You can use any of these tools to activate it:

Antiwpa-V3.4.6 for X64 and X86 (http://narod.yandex.ru/disk/23536580001/Antiwpa-V3.4.6%20for%20X64%20and%20X86.rar) (or)

Generic Antiwpa-2.3-WinXP-2k3 (http://narod.yandex.ru/disk/23536605001/Generic%20Antiwpa-2.3-WinXP-2k3.rar)

They both are good working solutions.

You can't just copy the files into the USB and boot from it! That won't work.
You need a tool to do that for you.
Use win2flash. Google it.

The name of the file is: Microsoft.Windows.XP.Professional.SP3.Integrated.October.2011.SATA.By.Maher.[www.nomaher.com].iso
It came from your fenopy account.
I don´t get your question about his looks but it changed to the image the
selected program gives it ( so right now ImgBurn shows it as a burning cd in front of a page)
The size is 624.960 Kb

Also when I right-click my only options are:
Open
Burn using ImgBurn
Open with...
Send to

I´ve sticked to the things mentioned on this site (for so far I´ve read)
so I´m afraid the problem is on my end.

It works!!
I couldn´t copy or move the iso, so I copied the entire map in wich it came.
I got a message that there was information attached that couldn´t be transferred and
would not be copied with the rest.
For what it´s worth the attached information was referred to as:  ":favicon:$DATA"
I have absolutely no idea what this all means but now when I click on
the iso that´s on my usb it opens op nero at once and burns without any trouble.

Thank you again for the help and keep up this life saving ( bit overacting I know) work.

P.S.
I googled it and came across
"http://ask-leo.com/what_are_alternate_data_streams_and_are_they_a_security_risk.html"
and the only support I have for this possibility is that my USB is still FAT32 and not NTFS.

It's not a ZIP file, it's actually an ISO file.
It looks like a ZIP file on your system because WinZIP handles .iso extensions.

You need to set your first boot device to your hard disk in the BIOS.
Regarding updates, yes you can turn them on.

Hi, I recently installed this version on my netbook from a usb drive. After installation, I still have to boot from the usb drive.. without it I get a disk error. I installed it onto the hard drive, not the usb drive. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong or how to fix it. please help.  :)
What error do you get?
Besides, you need to set your first boot device to your hard disk in the BIOS.

Thanks for the reply. I will try it again.

Do I have to install the drivers for this install, or else is it pre installed?

Ganesh
What drivers are you talking about?

The basic drives one needs to run the OS
Yes.

Hey maherz, I created a boot disk of the September version and everything works fine but i can only start windows if i have the boot disk in the cd drive. So i was wondering is there anyway to boot windows without the disk, Also can updates be used?
You need to set your first boot device to your hard disk in the BIOS.
Regarding updates, yes you can turn them on.
Good luck.
Well i tried changing the boot options in my pc's setup, but the same problem exist. I think i may have done it wrong so i would like to hear any type advice on how to change the bios.

You need to install the driver for your network card.
Use Driver Pack Solution (http://drp.su) or any other drivers tool.
Good luck.

Hello there i'd like to kindly ask for some assistance,

i'm trying to install your September version and i keep getting the ''setup didn't find any disks installed''.
Description of your torrent on pirate bay says it's got sata drivers included. Does this mean i don't need to do the f6 or slipstreaming procedure ?

I've tried the following procedures with no success:

1. just your cd: when it loads everything(i can see the setup goes through a lot of SiS sata drivers ,so i presume the drivers should be there for the mobo to detect my hdd) it says it didn't find any disks installed.

2. f6 procedure with floppy: a list of 2 drivers pops up when i press S, win xp Sis raid/ide controller and win2000 Sis raid/ide controller, i select win xp  hit enter and after it goes through all the startup phase it again doesn't detect any disks.
p.s.: I went to check the manual and i'm using the right driver and the list of drivers that shows up is correct. And i'm using the same driver for slipstreaming so that one must be correct also.

3. slipstreaming: ends in the same manner- no disk detected.

My mobo: http://www.foxconnchannel.com/product/Motherboards/detail_overview.aspx?ID=en-us0000076
The driver i used(there are 2 under ''raid drivers'' on the mobo's page, i used the sis raid driver): http://www.foxconnsupport.com/download.aspx?models=en-us0000076&category=C000000001&series=en-us0000003&keywords=&sort=Drivers
hdd:  wd800

Do you know of any solutions for my problem or ideas what could be causing this error ?
Can it be hardware problems like sata conector, sata cable, hdd itself, ram ?

Some more info about my system:
I have xp pro sp3 installed, but it is damaged : i can't copy/paste files, can't open help, can't run services, can't scan for viruses, can't burn cds/dvds, can't copy files to usb disk, getting ''RPC not available'' error, it's unusable so i'm trying to do a new install, since my current windows seems to be unrepairable...

Thanks for your help,
Jano

Try searching for something like AHCI Mode in your BIOS.
If you find it change it into "Compatible" or "IDE Mode".
Good luck.

Hi there. Thanks for replying.

I don't have these options.. I've seen them on the net being proposed, but i just don't have these options.

All i can set in BIOS regarding SATA is the following:

SATA CONTROLLER (disable, enable)- i have it set to enabled
SATA MODE ( ide, raid)- i have it set to ide

Have you got any other ideas, what can be done in my case ?

On some other site i was said to run a diagnostics for my HDD to check for errors...I'll try that and will return with updates..

Thanks.

Sorry to tell you, but I ran out of ideas!
Don't think it's a hard disk problem, it's just that the drivers are missing!
Try getting the drivers from another site.

I burned it 3 times lol but I didnt mount it or unmount it or something with daemon tools..just burned it..(image file is it right?not iso?otherwise it would say at the end '.iso', wouldnt it?

I dunno what I did exactly (it was a time ago) but I suppose that I've extracted the file with Winrar.

I meant Mount. Cant I just burn it with Nero startsmart essentials( I did already now 3 times, burned the XP 3 times:P)
But what I mean is do I have to Mount it with daemon tools? I guess no, cuz I dont need it to open it from my drive..but just boot it when i start the pc..

Don't extract it! It's not a RAR file. It might look like a RAR file, but it isn't.
It's actually an ISO file that can be burned using any burning software.

First off, Thank you. Everything installed great. Now my second question.... I know that the OS is updated to SP3 and is activated through October to receive updates but what happens after that?? Is it eventually gonna say Windows needs to be activated?? If so, can you suggest a good activator program to allow updates and also keep it from getting the WGA check?? Thanks again.
Title: Re: Windows XP Support
Post by: kbizzle on October 28, 2011, 12:17 AM
Ok. I will take your word for it. I apologize for my concern, I just have had similar Windows by different people that claimed the same thing but within a few months the WGA popped back up. I really appreciate the great download. Thank you!!

Hi there, folks.

I've been having trouble installing Maher's copy. The setup wouldn't find any drives installed.
After extensive research i found out that some older machines(mine is a 2005) don't support Windows CDs with pre-added SATA drivers.
I tried installing another Windows CD without pre-added SATA drivers and it worked.

I thought i should post it here for any other users who might have the same issues and have older machines.

Thanks anyway, Maher, and good luck.

Hey Maher !

There is a little problem with the installation for me.. I started the installation and it asked me for a serial key. (yea I didnt burn that .iso to a cd, just ran that setup.exe file...). Then I used the serial key that u posted to another topic. Everything went well until the restart. After the restart it showed me those partitions I had previously. It asked me to pick the drive where to install the Windows. Then the problems began. First of all it didnt let me to install it to my C because there was already Windows installed. It didnt let me to format C (????). Then I formatted D (full) and then I picked it to install it there.. Everything went well when there popped up another problem.. It said that there was two files missing!! Presetup.cmd and setupORG.exe. I retried couple of times but it didnt work. Then I just had to skip them.. After it the setup aborted. This was the error:
"Error - file not found
D:\WINDOWS\system32\presetup.cmd - FILE NOT FOUND !
D:\WINDOWS\system32\setupORG.exe - FILE NOT FOUND !
(setupORG.exe -> Original windows Setup.exe)
----------------------------------------------
POSSIBLE CAUSE:
1. "Presetup.cmd" not exist in the i386 folder on UXPCD
"setupORG.exe" not exist in the i386 folder on UXPCD
----------------------------------------------
2. Check your "Txtsetup.sif" in the i386 folder on UXPCD
---Txtsetup.sif: -------------------
(SourceDisksFiles)
setupORG.exe = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0 ; must exist
presetup.cmd = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0 ; must exist
----------------------------------------------
SETUP ABORT

Help me :( Is there anything I can do now? Or should I just throw this piece of **** away and get a new pc ? :(

Cheers

Hey Maher !

There is a little problem with the installation for me.. I started the installation and it asked me for a serial key. (yea I didnt burn that .iso to a cd, just ran that setup.exe file...). Then I used the serial key that u posted to another topic. Everything went well until the restart. After the restart it showed me those partitions I had previously. It asked me to pick the drive where to install the Windows. Then the problems began. First of all it didnt let me to install it to my C because there was already Windows installed. It didnt let me to format C ( ??? ?). Then I formatted D (full) and then I picked it to install it there.. Everything went well when there popped up another problem.. It said that there was two files missing!! Presetup.cmd and setupORG.exe. I retried couple of times but it didnt work. Then I just had to skip them.. After it the setup aborted. This was the error:
"Error - file not found
D:\WINDOWS\system32\presetup.cmd - FILE NOT FOUND !
D:\WINDOWS\system32\setupORG.exe - FILE NOT FOUND !
(setupORG.exe -> Original windows Setup.exe)
----------------------------------------------
POSSIBLE CAUSE:
1. "Presetup.cmd" not exist in the i386 folder on UXPCD
"setupORG.exe" not exist in the i386 folder on UXPCD
----------------------------------------------
2. Check your "Txtsetup.sif" in the i386 folder on UXPCD
---Txtsetup.sif: -------------------
(SourceDisksFiles)
setupORG.exe = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0 ; must exist
presetup.cmd = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0 ; must exist
----------------------------------------------
SETUP ABORT

Help me :( Is there anything I can do now? Or should I just throw this piece of **** away and get a new pc ? :(

Cheers

You can still use this PC!
Just try what Tovagulet said.
Good luck.

Hey Tovagulet and Maher!

Thanks for the help, but if I restart my pc and try to boot it from cd (I burned that .iso to cd) it just restores the setup and that error pops up again. I cant do anything !!! Can I format C somehow and stop the setup being restarted ?

I need your help asap!

If that happens, then your PC is not booting from the CD.
Make sure your CD/DVD is set as your 1st boot device in BIOS, then make sure that you burned the ISO correctly.
Good luck.

Hey !
It's most certainly booting from cd because I disabled all the other boot devices! It boots from cd but it still restores the setup thingy and it doesnt work :/ Can I somehow format both of my C and D drives?

Press any key to boot from CD..

Yes, I can see that. I got the problem now solved (sort of...). Now when I boot my pc it gives me new error: "Windows could not start because of a computer disk hardware configuration problem. Could not read from the boot disk. Check boot disk ad disk hardware." What does this mean? I googled it and found that there might be something wrong with Boot.ini file but I already tried to fix it with the recovery console. What should I do now?

Hello Maher!

I downloaded your Windows October release and I have one question for you - to burn it in CD I need to unrar that ISO file or just burn it? I burned the ISO file in CD and restarted pc, but it didn't boot. But when I try to unrar the ISO file with WinRAR, at the end pops out "WinRAR: Diagnostic messages" with 71 errors saying that those files cannot create...

Does it make any difference that I have two OS on my pc - Windows Vista (came toghether whit PC and I'm now working on it, because the other OS doesn't work) and Windows XP Professional SP3 (in this Windows one file have been missing or corrupted and thats why I need to repair or replace it with this October release)

Thank you!

Just burn the .iso file into a CD.
Even though it has a WinRar Icon its an .iso file.

For your computer to boot from a CD, make sure the 1st boot priority in BIOS is CD-ROM.
I burned the .iso file into a DVD-RW and it doesn't boot. Do I need to burn it in CD or it doesn't make any difference?
P.S. I have another Windows XP Professional setup, but it's SP1. This SP1 setup boots, when my pc starts, but theres an infection in that CD. Thats why I need this SP3...

I've done that now like 10 times. (formatted and then installed it to c). After install it reboots and gives me this same error over and over again. "Windows could not start because of a computer disk hardware configuration problem etc...). I'm pretty sure that it's not about broken cd because I have burned that .iso to 2 cd's now. This is sooooo frustrating for me atm...

I've got a nasty one- I can't run programs as Administrator. There is no option in compatibility mode and also if I use SHIFT+right click for a program and choose run as Administrator then choose Administrator from there. Then if I leave the password empty it says one thing and if I write some random password there it says it's wrong. Any ideas? I really need help.

I though you coudn't install Windows XP...

Upto what part of the boot you can get?
Can you get into the BIOS?

I have it installed (kinda). After the install comes the automatic reboot and then this error (which i mentioned in earlier post) comes. I have no idea what causes this error.. My BIOS works.

Why do you even have 2 accounts on your computer. I always though that was pointless.
Plus, why you want to run proframs as administrator if your account have full rights, meaning Administrator. But in this case some why it doesn't let me. I would like to hear what Maher has got to say.

Okei. Could somebody with real knowledge answer my question? First of all Administrator user has every operation system even if you don't make it. Plus if I have Administrator rights that doesn't mean that every program runs as Administrator. I have the rights to run it as Administrator.

Now I see what you mean.
I though you had 2 accounts, but I Tried to run an application as Admin, but gave me the same message as yours.
It can be fixed by doing this


Right click My Computer, Click on Manage to open computer management console

On the left side, click on Local Users and Groups
Click Users
Right click Administrator and select Set password

Read the warnings, click Proceed if you want to proceed

Then type the new password, confirm it and save it by clicking OK
Click OK to close the confirmation dialog
Close management console

and you'll be able to run it as administrator.


Well thousand thanks to You mate! That did the trick :)

Hi! I don't use XP any more, but your response to joel65675's post prompts a question. Given that there are still many PC's out there that use XP and that Micro$oft is still supporting it (I think), then couldn't Joel just go to Windows update and download SP3 without having to go through the hassle or reformatting? I ask because I remember doing exactly this just a few months before moving on to Win 7-64, where I did have to perform a clean install.

Hi, thanks guys for your fast responses..anyway..
I burned it 3 times lol but I didnt mount it or unmount it or something with daemon tools..just burned it..(image file is it right?not iso?otherwise it would say at the end '.iso', wouldnt it?

I dunno what I did exactly (it was a time ago) but I suppose that I've extracted the file with Winrar.

I meant Mount. Cant I just burn it with Nero startsmart essentials( I did already now 3 times, burned the XP 3 times:P)
But what I mean is do I have to Mount it with daemon tools? I guess no, cuz I dont need it to open it from my drive..but just boot it when i start the pc..
Thanks.
Don't extract it! It's not a RAR file. It might look like a RAR file, but it isn't.
It's actually an ISO file that can be burned using any burning software.
Good luck.

tnx maher ^^

Hello Maher.. I burned the image and installed without problems.. I recently ran into problems with my installed windows had to do with MBR.. I've read on other sites that I could use the WinXP disc to fix this but noticed the iso you provide doesnt have the Recovery Console.. Or am I missing something? If not can this be added on your next iso?

Yes. You need to use any other XP CD that hasn't SATA drivers included.
When adding SATA drivers, the I386 folder changes, and when this folder changes, the REPAIR option is gone from setup.

What is the difference between this Windows XP release and others without SATA drivers?
I have a PC since 2005 "Motherboard ASUS P5VM with intel chipset 865G"
I setup October release and I want to know what changed or what is the difference between it and others like the original XP that I used to setup. I know that there are updates. I ask about SATA drivers and Do I need them?
Thanks and I know that someone will help me. You all are good people. Keep it up.

What is the difference between this Windows XP release and others without SATA drivers?
I have a PC since 2005 "Motherboard ASUS P5VM with intel chipset 865G"
I setup October release and I want to know what changed or what is the difference between it and others like the original XP that I used to setup. I know that there are updates. I ask about SATA drivers and Do I need them?
Thanks and I know that someone will help me. You all are good people. Keep it up.

Hello Ahmad! So nice to meet you. To try to answer your question: if your PC's motherboard was built in 2005, chances are it may not have SATA. If you're using IDE drives only, then you can get away without the SATA drivers. However, be advised that SATA is the thing of the future and IDE has almost gone the way of the horse and buggy. Today it's tough to get an IDE drive because almost everything they're making is SATA. Naturally, the same logic applies to motherboards. If possible, get the copy of XP with SATA drivers. Their presence won't hurt your system and, should you ever upgrade the old board, rest assured you will need them.

You need to ask there for support, as your problem is regarding using the program.
It's not with the Windows files.

Do you mean that SATA drivers for me as if they don't exist, but I'll have updates?
My motherboard has 2 SATA inputs and I have a SATA DVD.
Are those SATA drivers for something like DVDs and HDDs ,... or They are for more complicated components in newer motherboards. I just want to improve my knowledge.
Thanks again.

I'll read your wikipedia link. but please, yes or no? to specify it in my head.
1) Those SATA drivers included in your release are like chipset drivers for example? AS when I install your release, I noticed that chipset drivers are already installed and updated.
2) Every motherboard comes with its CD of drivers. Those SATA drivers included in your release are the update of SATA drivers on that CD?
I'll be very grateful and Sorry for asking too much but how could I learn ?!
And my motherboard doesn't help me in new things. Upgrade is soon.

Ofcourse you can.
If you are not able, then you might need the proper driver for your ethernet card.
In such case you need to use a driver software detection.
I recommend Driver Pack Solution (http://drp.su)

Hey, first of all I wanted to say thanks for what your doing here, I really respect that.
My question is this - I have a genuine windows 7 upgrade disk that I want to install on a laptop.
I need to first install a windows xp or vista to be able to install the new windows 7.
I downloaded your version (havent installed it yet) of xp, says there is no need for a cd key, which is great,
but will the new genuine windows 7 be able to be installed and recognize it as a lagit copy? have anyone tried it before?
it will delete windows xp when I install windows 7, it just needs to think the xp is genuine.
Thanks.

First of all, mr. Maherz, I want to say to you THANK YOU!!! for your uploads. I use your winXP versions since November 2010, and after a years of darkness, you put some light in windows xp installing. Well, with your last version (November 2011) I've noticed a litle problem. I installed it on 5 computers, and on every one of them after booting, proces "svchost.exe" is taking 100% of processor about 5 minutes or more, and in that time machine is "frozen". I've tried to download again, and burn again, but the problem is still here. On two machines this (http://www.technibble.com/how-to-fix-svchost-using-100-cpu-memory-leak) solved the problem, but on all the others problem is  still here.
Thank you Mr. Maherz.
PS. Sorry for my English.

PS. Sorry for my English.
I want to share my experience in that problem so that it may help.
I had this problem before on my friend's PC after a fresh installing of the original untouched XP SP3. But his problem was because he didn't have the appropriate drivers for LAN card, so he installed about 3 different drivers until one of them worked but it made the svchost service like your case 100% of processor activity. I downloaded the appropriate driver for him and reinstalled windows and it became alright.
I mean that in my case, it was a problem of non compatible drivers or installing many drivers.
After all I don't have much experience, so wait for Mr. Maher reply.

My current operating system is on my C drive, if I elect to install it on the C drive and format the same drive using NTFS system, will that work? Or will it format first leaving me with no os to run the new install. (I might be chatting complete rubbish here but it sort of makes sense in my head. Lol)

Hi there.
I have a problem with nliting your Windows September edition.

I downloaded Win XP SP3 September version. Since Im instaling it on very old PC with SATA storrage, I wanted to nLite this version to its minimum and integrate SATA drivers.

With nLite I disabled all unwanted components - I read a lot of guides on internet to be sure that Im not deleting important stuff. I nlited Windows to around 200 MB.

Also, I added some programs - created addons for nlite (that I found on internet), and drivers for my PC (motherboard, audio, SATA, LAN) - mostly VIA and Realtek.

I added new DirectX 9.0c version (latest) cose I didnt know if you integrated it with Windows.

I also wanted to add latest .NET Framework, but I didnt understand how to do that (I read today  that it should be donne with RunOnce command in last section of nLite. Anyway, I havent done that.

PROBLEM was (first) viaide.sys, which was corrupted, so I copied it from my previous instalation of Windows (Black Edition from 2009). This occured while finalizing in nlite.

Same thing happened with symc810.sys and symc8xx.sys files. I copied them too, and succseded to make nlited Windows without showing any errors.

I decided to test it with VirtualBox and install it on IDE storrage. Driver for SATA was integrateg good since it recognized HDD and started install. Everything was fine until it supposed to start Windows.

New error was displayed, and it was cmd.exe !!!

I hope you have some advice for me ? I lost almost 10 days trying to make it work. Is there some proces you integrated that need some of components Im deleting ?

When I installed normal September version, I noticed some extraction process after Windows started. Does this process use Windows system program for archives ? In my nlite version I disabled it cose I integrated 7Zip.

I hope that my english is good enough for understanding my problem...

Hi Maher.

Thanks for this excellent ISO. I thought I'd drop you a line to let you know that there were a small number of older updates missing from the Nov. ISO. This is not a criticism; just a 'heads-up' in case you'd like to bundle them in the future.

It supports Korean and East Asian Languages.
But I think you're talking about chnaging the interface.
If thats the case, then you need to download the MUI (Multilingual User Interface) for the language you want and install it.

Hi, I hope I'm posting this in the right place. New user, please go easy on me!

I downloaded Microsoft.Windows.XP.Professional.SP3.Integrated.November.2011.SATA.By.Maher.[www.nomaher.com] and I would like to install it, obviously.

I ran it from inside an earlier version of Windows XP (SP1), mounting it in Daemon and following the prompts. When the system rebooted it asked for XP Professional SP3 CD. Now, I don't have any blank CDs so I haven't burned it to disk; is there any way of installing it from inside Windows XP SP1 so that it reboots and goes all the way without asking for a hard copy CD?

I tried to copy the files over to a DVD and use that as a bootable disk, but the system didn't recognise it as one.

Any advice please :)

You can use a DVD!
It didn't work for you because you just burned the ISO file that you downloaded directly into the DVD.
You need to burn the ISO file using a burning software.
Search Google: "how to burn ISO image into a CD"
Good luck.

Hey Danny,
As Mr. Maher said,
To burn the ISO file on a CD or DVD, you can't copy the files inside it to a CD or DVD as it won't boot as in this case you've made a data CD or DVD and it must be a bootable CD or DVD just like the ISO file itself - It's a bootable ISO image .
So, you need a program like Nero - You have it - and choose the option to burn image not to put the ISO file on a DVD and burn ... It won't boot ... Choose burn image and browse for the ISO file and from NERO choose to burn on a DVD or CD according to the media you have.
Also, you can burn the ISO image with any image burn software like UltraISO or PowerISO and choose to burn image.
Good Luck.  :)

Hence there is this forum.. where we mesh our minds .. combining questions, uncertainties and sharing our collective solutions to one another.

Mr.Maher, Ahmad and or anyone Happy New Year to one and all! 

I'm mind boggled with installing your xp release (thank you mr.maher) to a not so sofisticated mobo with PCIE & SATA. line up is below. On Installing Windows XP (using USB) to a SATA HDD? **no floppy**no DVDrom.

Used wintoflash(worked like a charm). Windows xp installation worked via usb drive. but my BIG problem was that the HDD that I was intalling the OS to was SATA and the installation partially detected the drive but have me an error message at a certain point where the 2nd phase was involved.
Also tried the option on the installation which solved the 2 common errors but didnot work.
but then...
*ting*light bulb*
I used my older HDD which is an IDE and it worked and it's completely installed. And I am using winXP SP3 maher already. But been scratching my head on how to make that darn installation work on to a SATA drive.


CPU: AMD Athlon3000+ 64

Post by: bearman on January 03, 2012, 07:19 PM
ok, so iv got a copy of xp installed (SP 2) with alot of stuff installed and personal data etc.

Is it posible to install your windows xp without burning to a cd and booting on it?
Is it posible to just upgrade my windows xp and keep all files etc, because when i try doing it, it asks for a key.

I am not sure what your problem is.

I downloaded Maher's December 2011 torrent using uTorrent. The resultant file was an ISO image. I burned the image as an ISO using ImgBurn (Write Image File To Disk) and have installed it to 2 machines perfectly.

It sounds like your download might be corrupt.

Hi Maher,

I downloaded your "Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP3 Integrated July 2011   + Serials" from Pirate bay. Got the file ok as a .rar but when I go to extract it  it asks for a password to extract? Ive searched, but can't find any info on this anywhere? Is it ok to have the password so I can extract the file?

Many thanks

James

Hello James,
What You have downloaded isn't Mr. Maher's as he uploads his XP release as an ISO file not a RAR file and without passwords.
This is his link on the piratebay:

Hello MiniSter,  :)
You don't need the serial if you are installing windows from boot "Fresh Install" as it will be entered automatically. But you need it if you are installing windows from your active windows "If you are already running windows and trying to install another windows".
Good luck.  ;)

Windows XP Support:

I have a copy of Windows 7 running, and I lately started getting 'non-genuine messages' from Microsoft, so I thought I'd go back to a legal version of Windows XP. I downloaded yours, as it seems more up to date, and burned it to a disc, including all the files inside the iso.

When I try to run it, the menu to "install Windows XP" is grey, and when I try to "Check my system automatically", it is also grey.
What do I need to do to rub out Windows 7, and install XP?

Thanks. Your site looks very impressive.

Hello, I have installed from scratch the january version of Maher XP on my HP Probook 4510s and I have problems...

Everything go perfectly until it notified me : can't find zip???.Dll, can't find the path to C:/...., I pressed ok and finished the installation. when I start the cimputer, it starts XP, I see a very short blue screen, without having time to read what is on and it starts again !

Any clue how to solve that ? I can still access the HP setup, bios, but that's all !

Post by: Tarias on January 21, 2012, 03:26 PM
Hi there!

@Maher
One question: in theory, one should be allowed to uninstall IE8 in this version you compiled, right?

Thing is, I tried that and ran into considerable trouble...maybe you should either correct it (see my fix ahead), or at least, warn users they should not try to uninstall IE8:

PROBLEM1:
When you try to uninstall IE8 from the "Control Panel"=>"Add/Remove Programs"=>"Windows Components", Windows will ask you to insert the install CD, and then complain it misses "IEENCODE.DLL"...

SOLUTION1:
- I added this file (got it from another XPSP3 I had) to the ISO image (X:\I386 folder)


PROBLEM2:
Then when you boot (AFTER uninstalling IE8), when logging on, again Windows complains IT MISSES "IERTUTIL.dll"
GUI/Explorer won't load and you won't be able to start it from task manager

SOLUTION2:
- BEFORE you uninstall IE8, open a cmd prompt and type: "copy C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\IERTUTIL.dll C:\"
- Uninstall IE8 and boot!
- Then, you will get the error when the machine boots: press CTRL+ALT+DEL
- As said before, you can't start "Explorer.exe" from here...but you can run command "CMD" (just keep pressing OK when the error dialog box pops up)
- in the opened cmd prompt, type: "copy C:\IERTUTIL.dll C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32"
- now, back in task manager you can start "Explorer.exe" andit will run fine (you'll even see what it seams to be the IE uninstall finishing!!!)
- from here, the machine will boot always ok.


One more thing: since I got the "IEENCODE.DLL" file on the iso, I also solved a "hang" during install (looked like it had stooped, but pressing ESC would be enough for it to continue...)



Hope I was useful...it's the minimum I can do for using your work.
I'll be around to see

Oh, I totally agree! But it goes much further than simply not doing any harm. Lots of programs depend on the IE engine to function. It's the same situation with Windows Media Player. I hate it to the very end, but once I made the mistake of uninstalling it and the result was that a lot of other players wouldn't play. The reason is precisely because they depend on the WMP engine to function.

@Ahmad

How about this, for a start?
http://secunia.com/advisories/24314/

(yeah, I was shocked too: $M is getting lazy on making IE/XP secure...)

Conclusion: by principle, even for good/trusted/... software, good rule to keep a PC safe is: "don't use it? don't have it installed!"

Now...ahem ahem: IE?!?!?! "Good/trusted" software? Think sarcasm is reaching dangerous levels here...


My intention was since @Maher is having all this (AWESOME!) work in providing so many ppl with an updated XP (it's gonna last AT LEAST till April 2014; read it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_xp#Support_lifecycle )...I could at least try to ask him:

1 - Is there a way to pack his releases ("XP you_name_the_month edition") and give the user the possibility to remove bad/unsafe/useless IE?

Probably there is going to be a problem with manual xp updates...but I still wanted to post the question here!


Meanwhile, new question:

2 - Is it possible/would it make sense to incorporate .NET 4 (lots of apps are using it; ex: office 2010)


Other then this, no surprises why guys like Maher are trusted EVERYWHERE (not just @TPB); hell: would I be paying for a $M XP license...EACH TIME ( and I think ppl here do it now and then ;) ) I have to install a XP machine, I'm better off with a pirated version than with it coming from $M itself ( because as far as I know, they DON'T make available  a version of XP for paying customers with all updates till YY/MM on a regularly basis! )

So, whatever the answers are to my intervention here, thank you Maher for what you are doing and thanks in advance to ppl replying me!

Saluts!


PS: To those complaining about media player...in this release, I removed it, installed K-Lite + KMP + VLC and to date, I'm just fine!

Hello OverseerD,  :)
If I'm right, may be you haven't installed the proper drivers for your internet card.
Those drivers are not integrated with XP. They are on the CD that came with your PC.
After installing XP, you need to install drivers for internet, sound, VGA ... etc.
Good luck. :D

You have the latest service pack and will continue to be eligible for support and receive updates until April 8, 2014.
Support is ending for some versions of Windows
Support for Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) ended on July 12, 2011.
Support for Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2) ended on July 13, 2010.*
If you're running one of these versions after support ends, you won't get security updates for Windows.

I cleaned about 27 errors in the registry cleaner in Ccleaner, but it made no difference. My external HDDs ONLY freeze when Malwarebytes antimalware is installed, but the EXACT same version was fine in WinXP SP2. It's only stopping my external HDDs from booting in SP3. If I uninstall mbam, they boot again. But the problem is this SP3, because the same version of Mbam worked with my HDDs in SP2.

Is Ccleaner's registry cleaner the only one you use? That one's very weak and finds very few errors. By all means download an industrial strength registry cleaner and use it regularly. There are tons of them and they're all over the torrents. I'm currently using Raxco Perfect Registry, but I keep about 5 more in stock, just in case.

Keep in mind the Windows registry is nothing more than a huge landfill where tons and tons of garbage are kept there. All that's loaded into memory when you boot up.

I stopped using registry cleaners years ago because they can sometimes cause some serious problems, all for the sake of maybe speeding up your computer (a little). If I knew exactly which registry error to fix/clean, I'd do it, but I have no idea what's causing this problem.


Registry is a very complex and delicate thing. What constitutes an "error" in it is very much a subjective call--for example, many of what get called "registry errors" are things that look like stray keys...but which are, in fact, still serving some essential purpose. They may be tagged to a piece of software that you no longer have installed, for example...but are also being used (perhaps without appropriate documentation) by other programs or functions as well--and "cleaning" them will cause them all to crash at your feet.
A lot of experts don't advise touching the registry at all, if there's any way you can possibly avoid it. There's just too much that can go wrong, and leave you with a mess you could format your hard drive and reload before you'd ever straighten out. So I'd run, don't walk, in the opposite direction from this hack job you've come across, and if you absolutely must do some housekeeping on your registry, trust it to Norton!

You know, I don't recall an occasion where a registry cleaner has caused me a problem. I think you were using a bad one. If the registry didn't get dirty and full of garbage, I don't think there'd be so many cleaners available.

Hey Vic
Finally got you problems solution
the main threat from preventing your hdd from reading is MALWAREBYTES ANTI-MALWARE.
just for your sake i downloaded it and installed and went through the settings and found out that you should disable the option under Protection
disable the option "Start file execution and blocking when protection module starts"
I also found out that mbam blocks the auto-run, so after you install you wont have any auto-run on connecting any external devices.
and also make sure to scan your whole external hdd for malware infection.

if still this doesn't solve your problem then add your external hdd to the ignore list.

HOPE THIS SOLVES YOUR PROBLEM...

Didn't come with XP. Came with 7, but it's quite slow on that. But, yes, it boots just fine. (And there are XP drivers available)
Title: Re: Windows XP Support
Post by: BLADESHARK on February 15, 2012, 07:43 AM
As you said it boots on Win7 just fine
so here you just need to change the bios settings.. ::) ::)

First of all go to bios and press F9 to load the default settings and then press F10 to save settings and exit
your computer will restart
again go to bios and make sure your sata controller is set to ATA, not AHCI.

good luck!!!!!!!!! :D :D

BIOS does not have those settings. Most likely due to HP hiding things. *shrug*

Looking around, I need ION/nVidia SATA drivers for my laptop here. I'm guessing the NoMaher release does not have these already.

Now I'm just trying to figure out nLite.

Planning to dual-boot. I am aware XP will overwrite the bootloader, but looked up how to get it back.

Also, there is NO option in the BIOS other than setting boot order in system configuration. They're restrictive it seems. (HP's site says to get a 3rd party tool if there is no option)
Title: Re: Windows XP Support

from my experience i will tell you that there is no need for a third party [Easy BCD] to get the bootloader back.
first install xp in c and then install 7 in d
u will automatically get the 2 OS options when u start ur lappy

I'm installing XP after 7, so I will need to. It's no tool, just a few commands along with having the CD.

Now if I can just get this to recognize my HDD, that would be great.

Quote from: BLADESHARK on February 14, 2012, 09:53 AM
Hey Vic
Finally got you problems solution
the main threat from preventing your hdd from reading is MALWAREBYTES ANTI-MALWARE.
just for your sake i downloaded it and installed and went through the settings and found out that you should disable the option under Protection
disable the option "Start file execution and blocking when protection module starts"
I also found out that mbam blocks the auto-run, so after you install you wont have any auto-run on connecting any external devices.
and also make sure to scan your whole external hdd for malware infection.

if still this doesn't solve your problem then add your external hdd to the ignore list.

HOPE THIS SOLVES YOUR PROBLEM...

Sorry I already tried that, none of them worked.


I also noticed in NOD32 that I had some critical updates needed. Should I go ahead with these?  Maybe the XP updates will fix it?

Title: Re: Windows XP Support

Hello Vic,
I saw your conversation with the Trusted Advisor CWilliams -- Malwarebytes Staff

I think you should dump Malwarebytes[I know its the no.1 ranked anti-malware software],but i think you can't get rid of that problem

If you wish to try a new anti-malware program see attachment.
Hope your HDD's get working soon!!!!!

yes I know, I'm giving up on Mbam, it's also causing my PC to freeze when windows boots up every 2nd or 3rd time I boot up, I just have to keep restarting and hoping it'll work. From what I read in the forum it's a common problem with 1.60.

I'll try Webroot instead, I've never heard of it, can't believe it's that good compared to Mbam judging from that list. I'm also already using NOD32 and SuperAntiSpyware, so hopefully those will be enough.

also applying all the critical updates now in SP3.

Hello Vic,  :)
If you are a NOD32 user, Why don't you only use NOD32 Smart Security [Version 5 is recommended] which has all protection you want.
I mean what exists in Mbam and not exists in NOD32 Smart Security ?
Be well and safe.   :D
Title: Re: Windows XP Support
Post by: Vic on February 19, 2012, 06:48 AM
because when I was using Mbam on SP2, it would sometimes find malware that NOD32 missed, including full HDD scans. NOD32 also picks up some that Mbam misses, so I used both. I'm using v4 now. I'm trying webroot, but only the free version as it's expensive.

First off, gotta say thanks to Maher. Have used your torrents before and they have always been great with no problems.

Now I wish to install this torrent on a pc tower that I have acquired, this tower came with Xp but I wish to just wipe and reinstall. It does not have a dvd player (cd only). I'm downloading this torrent from a working laptop thats has both.

My question is what would be the easiest way to go about installing this torrent onto the tower?  can I put this download on thumb/flash drive and install from torrent file? should I burn file to cd? and how should I go about burning/writing it to cd?

thanks in advance for advice and sorry if it's already been covered... I did search a little before posting but sometimes I get agrevaited..

thanks again. and btw...thanks seeders, the file has already downloaded...I will repay the favor and keep seeding.

Hello download dummy,  :)
The best way is burning the ISO file to a CD.
Installing from flash drive doesn't succeed with everyone (including me). With me and many others, every time, it fails and gave BSD (Blue Screen of Death). But of course, it worked with others.
So, CD is better as it works with everyone.

To burn the torrent file you have downloaded (ISO file), use any image burn software like NERO, UltraISO, PowerISO, MagicISO or ImgBurn.
BUT, be sure to use the option "Write/Burn ISO image".
If you put the ISO file you have downloaded onto the CD and burn like any data CD, it won't boot. You must specify to burn CD/DVD image.

Also, it's recommended to choose the lowest burning speed (4x) to avoid errors.

This is a tutorial about burning image with PowerISO :
http://www.nomaher.com/forum/index.php?topic=380.0

And this with MagicISO :

I am from Vietnam, too and I am qqwwee123's friend. We are from Hanoi, capital of Vietnam.

For us, the best and popular foreign host is mediafire . I have tried all links you give, all are about 15-30 kb/s. For Mediafire, we can download at speed of 300 -1000 kb/s and many links at the same time without requiring capcha, and it's convenient.

I have completed downloading after 1 night :).

I have a question :D. This XP set up can use for Laptops that use core i3 gen 2 Sandy brigde? it contains Sata ACHI 10? I can add Sata 10 with Nlite, but I want to use your XP set up.

Just a quick question -- if you have a i3 Processor and at least 4 GB of memory, why not just skip XP and use Win 7-64? Since I use AMD I'm not all that familiar with Intel, but I do know the i3 belongs to their latest generation and, accordingly, it couldn't possibly be a 32-bit processor. I think it's been years since 32-bit processors (and their corresponding motherboards) were even manufactured.

I wasn't aware of that. I thought almost all games had been upgraded to run well on Windows 7. I'm saying this because game developers know XP's days are numbered and Windows 7 (and 8 not too far in the future) are the thing, plus the fact that all new PC's sold in stores are pre-loaded with 7. Game developers are in the same situation as everyone else -- upgrade their software or die.

What you're telling me is nothing new. The very same thing happened when Windows 2000 and XP came out -- lots of people didn't upgrade right away because the games they had wouldn't run well on these 2 then-new OS's, and especially if you consider that 98 and before used the Dos Kernel as opposed to the NT Kernel used by 2000 and beyond. Accordingly, is it that you run some very old games that were written in the days of XP and mostly designed for that OS, or what?

Hey...Hey...Hey,Can I just interrupt :o
Windows 7 can challenge XP for the games compatibility, According to my experience of Win 7, I didn't face any problems with my games till now,win 7 has direct x 11 and you have to just update the directx 9 components.
Exceptions are for the HISTORIC games like NFS 2 SEn won't work on win 7 but you can change the settings to "Run this program in compatibility mode to" XP or whatever & njoy your prehistoric games in win7. :P

I know that. But many programs and games we need can not run or run not well on win 7. So I install both wins or XP  :)

I wasn't aware of that. I thought almost all games had been upgraded to run well on Windows 7. I'm saying this because game developers know XP's days are numbered and Windows 7 (and 8 not too far in the future) are the thing, plus the fact that all new PC's sold in stores are pre-loaded with 7. Game developers are in the same situation as everyone else -- upgrade their software or die.

What you're telling me is nothing new. The very same thing happened when Windows 2000 and XP came out -- lots of people didn't upgrade right away because the games they had wouldn't run well on these 2 then-new OS's, and especially if you consider that 98 and before used the Dos Kernel as opposed to the NT Kernel used by 2000 and beyond. Accordingly, is it that you run some very old games that were written in the days of XP and mostly designed for that OS, or what?

:), but it is the fact, I can't run well some program in win 7. For example, the game AOE II, Age of king, the color in win 7 is awfull :).

Hey...Hey...Hey,Can I just interrupt
Windows 7 can challenge XP for the games compatibility, According to my experience of Win 7, I didn't face any problems with my games till now,win 7 has direct x 11 and you have to just update the directx 9 components.
Exceptions are for the HISTORIC games like NFS 2 SEn won't work on win 7 but you can change the settings to "Run this program in compatibility mode to" XP or whatever & njoy your prehistoric games in win7.

Why not just go to the Pirate Bay and get updated versions of the games you play (if they exist), or just get newer ones? It's not like it's going to cost you anything.  :)

How old are these games? I'm only asking because my wife (who's more of a gamer than I am) was given a CD with old games (2004 to 2007), and they all play well under 7-64. In fact, when the games come on, what you see on the screen even reverts to the obsolete 4:3 format.

Thanks for your kindness.

For example: you search AOE 2: Age of King for win 7, you will find that, to play well this game in win 7, you need to close process: explorer. At this time, there is fix for this. But at university, we use some programs with the certain version for best usage. so XP is still needed :)

Hello Bessart :)
Just wanted to tell you that EACH & EVERY Windows XP Disc comes with the Recovery Console unless and until it is not removed by the Uploader[Maher]
To my knowledge Mr. Maher has done nothing to the disc,only he has added the update files and nothing.
Just make sure you downloaded the iso release from The Pirate Bay or Softarchieve.net
Nothing has been REMOVED from the disc. :D
Recovery Console is present in the disc, just make sure it's Maher's release.

How to install the Recovery Console

You can install the Recovery Console on your computer to make it available in case that you cannot restart Windows. You can then select the Recovery Console option from the list of available operating systems during startup. The Recovery Console is recommended to be installed on important servers and on the workstations of IT personnel. To install the Recovery Console, you must be logged on as an administrator.

Although you can run the Recovery Console by starting directly from the Windows XP CD, generally, it is more convenient to set it up as a startup option on your startup menu. To run the Recover Console directly from the CD

To install the Recovery Console, follow these steps:

Insert the Windows XP CD into the CD drive.
Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type d:\i386\winnt32.exe /cmdcons where d is the drive letter for the CD drive. For Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, type d:\amd64\winnt32.exe /cmdcons where d is the drive letter for the CD drive.
A Windows Setup Dialog Box appears. The Windows Setup Dialog Box describes the Recovery Console option. To confirm the installation, click Yes.

Restart the computer. The next time that you start your computer, "Microsoft Windows Recovery Console" appears on the startup menu.


GOOD LUCK BUDDY!!!!!! :) ;)

Hello Daniel Christian A. Estrella From The Philippines,
Nice to meet you too.  :) :D

From what you are saying, it seems that you have an Autorun virus that disables Task Manager and Registry Editor by itself without your intervention.

Are you using Anti Virus or not ?

To be sure that it's an Autorun virus, could you open Task Manager, switch to Processes tab and upload a screenshot of all active processes ?
So that I may recognize the Autorun virus if it's running in the background.

If you can't recognize it or delete it manually, try downloading Kaspersky rescue disk, burn it on a CD and boot from it. Then, when it starts, run a complete scan on your computer. But you may need to re-install windows if the virus has corrupted any important system file.

Good luck. :) :D

Hello andar183.  :)

Yes, Windows XP 32-Bit doesn't read more than 4GB of RAM.

Unfortunately, Mr. Maher doesn't upload Windows XP 64-Bit as he said before it has many problems.

Why don't you use Windows 7 64-Bit. It's much better for you with 8GB of RAM. You can find the latest release of Windows 7 32-Bit & 64-Bit in this link:

I don't understand something. As you well know, in order the any computer (or the router) to be on the internet at all, you've got to have an IP address. Here, for homes, a DHCP setup is the norm, i.e., the ISP assigns (or leases) an IP address to the router and from there, the router in turn assigns one to any device connected to it. Businesses usually prefer static addresses because you're going to have people calling in to their main server or logging into their web site, and changing the IP every few days would make this a nightmare. Internally you also have the option of disabling DHCP altogether and typing in an IP for each device, which would never change. This holds true in both homes and businesses.

Given all this, how can any ISP not assign (or lease) an IP to a customer? That like the phone company installing a phone in your house or, every day more frequently here, sell you a cell phone and in each case not assigning a phone number.

Title: Re: Windows XP Support
Post by: BLADESHARK on March 15, 2012, 05:43 PM
Hello Bikas 8)
The biggest mistake you did is by EXTRACTING it
It is an .iso format,you have to just directly write it on a CD by programs like Nero, Ultra ISO, Power ISO
When you extracted it you lost the Boot File that is why you are not able to Boot from the CD.
Just write the ISO Directly to a CD.

Thank You!! :) :D

Hello Bikas.  :)

As BLADESHARK said ... (No Extracting)
But I also want to clarify something about burning...

To burn the torrent file you have downloaded (ISO file), use any image burn software like NERO, UltraISO, PowerISO, MagicISO or ImgBurn.
BUT, be sure to use the option "Write/Burn ISO image".

If you put the ISO file you have downloaded onto the CD and burn like any data CD, it won't boot.

You must specify to burn CD/DVD image.

Also, it's recommended to choose the lowest burning speed (4x) to avoid errors.

This is a tutorial about burning image with PowerISO :

And this with MagicISO :

Good luck.  ;)

Are you referring to the letters "SP" as in Win XP SP3? If so, that stands for "Service Pack". Copies of Win 7 or XP can be found on the torrents in any language, but Maher only supports the English version. In fact, I don't even think our Arab friends on the forum use the Arabic version. Being from Cuba, Spanish is my first language, and yet I could not use a copy of Windows in that language. In fact, the very first time I even saw a Spanish version of Windows was during a trip to Mexico years ago when I was first courting the lady who is now my wife. As far as I was concerned, it could have been written in ancient Sanskrit.

Buddy, a Sony DVD writer cost around USD 22.00. Just pick one up and your problems are over. Forget all this USB stuff, nothing works better than a direct CD/DVD install.  Trust me I've been there!!! Why break your head over all the complications when a simple solution is just replace your CD drive.

Hello bikas.  :)

I also prefer CD/DVD for installing Windows XP as installing XP from USB fails with many people including me.
BUT if your motherboard is good enough to allow you to install XP from USB without BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death), try a tool called   WinToFlash (http://wintoflash.com/home/en/)   .

If it fails with you, just buy a new DVD.

We've discussed this before Here (http://www.nomaher.com/forum/index.php?topic=406.msg2299#msg2299) and Here (http://www.nomaher.com/forum/index.php?topic=399.msg2548#msg2548)

Hello again, fankoosh. :)

Sorry bro. But I want to know the type of your motherboard and revision.

If you can download a tiny program called Speccy (http://www.piriform.com/speccy) and from File menu Save Snapshot, and then upload this Snapshot file as attachment,
Then I appreciate that and will be very grateful.

As my motherboard is ASUS P5PE-VM and I tried every possible way to install XP from USB, but nothing succeeded and it appeared that it's from my motherboard. So I want to know a good type of motherboards.

Thanks and be well and safe.  :) :D
Title: Re: Windows XP Support

Title: Re: Windows XP Support
Post by: Ahmad on March 28, 2012, 02:43 PM
Thanks for prompt reply. I really appreciate this.  :)

Then your motherboard is ECS with Intel Chipset.

I want to tell you that actually my motherboard boots from USB very well in everything except during installing XP from USB and it's my motherboard fault in WinToFlash support center.
So I've rested from this problem but I wanted to know the types of motherboards that succeed in doing that. But I'll refer to the tutorial to see if I was missing something.

Anyway, thanks again.

Hi there,

I have installed XP sp3 integrated up to November or December 2010 around 1 year ago. Now I have some unsolved problems in my XP. Namely when I shutdown or make it sleep it will just suck in the middle (preparing to standby) or (saving your settings).

I have downloaded your recent windows xp sp3 up to march 2012.

I want to make a repair installation. Is it possible? Since I do not want to install aaaalllll those programs that I have already installed before.

Many thanks
Haider

Tell us whether standby works in safe mode. To get into safe mode repeatedly press F8 at start-up and select safe mode in the options there.

Go to the device manager : start => run => devmgmt.msc. Are there any devices with a yellow, red or black icon in the list there ?

Mostly this problem is caused by a bad driver or bit of software.

Thanks Bro for the reply

There is nothing wrong in the device Manager.

I tried to check the safe mode, but the sleep or standby is deactivated in the safe mode. And my problem is always occur after the 1st sleep.

After a new reboot, the 1st sleep will be ok. After the 1st sleep if I try to make another sleep or try to shutdown the problem will occur (it will stuck in the 'saving settings' or 'preparing to standby'). Moreover, there is a strange thing happened when this problem started in the pc.

After the 1st sleep, if I connect to the internet (I am using a dialup for a broadband internet), after 'verifying username and password' it stuck in the 'registering your computer' and it will never end, and there will be no internet connection even if I wait for hours.

You are absolutely right that there is some software caused this problem. I have installed some programs ~1month ago, but even with uninstalling them the problem has not been solved. I thought that probably there is some corrupted system's file. That's why I am thinking to installing as a repair installation from Maher's March 2012 XP release, since I have lost my old XP CD.

By the way , I have reinstalled all the device drivers of the motherboard (LAN, chipset, audio drivers...) All the drivers are up to date from the Gigabyte's website.

Also , I have updated the BIOS to the latest stable version, and nothing changed.

Thanks again for the help

You probably have not cleaned your registry yet.[I think so]. Grab Tune Up Utilities or Advanced System Optimizer from their Homepage [I have PM'd you the Homepage and the Serial Key of those 2 Programs] So download the trial version and insert the serials and you won't have problems of the trial version's limited functionality.
Run the Registry Cleaner [Tune up utilities recommended because ASO does not have a very user friendly interface]keep it scanning & repairing multiple times, until it shows 0 Problems/errors found. Do let me know how many problems you found in the first scan and the next one then the next one consecutively.
After you get the result as 0 Problems/errors found, then go to Registry De-fragment and run it. It might ask you to reboot for the de-fragmentation of your registry.
Now check whether you face your similar problems like you faced before. :P

Oh, and about the driver installation from GigaByte website

I just chose the model and downloaded the drivers from there . Then executed the exe files as their instruction and with each installation there would be a restart.

Thanks for the help Bladeshark

I have solved the issue. I will list what I have done so may be somebody in the future find this solution helpful.

Right click on My Computer -> Manage -> Event view -> system (or application)

Then see at the time that the pc is restarted or the time that the problem occurred, what errors or warnings are shown?

Most probably that by solving this issue the problem of hanging up during restart or shutdown will be fixed.

If it is a service, try to shut it down before doing restart. Or uninstall the responsible program doing this service if possible. Or at least uninstall then install again and see. The last chance is to shut down the service from the service manager each time before shutdown or restart.

My problem was an error in the wireless USB adapter.

So, I have uninstalled the driver and downloaded the latest version and installed it.

After that everything went Ok and my issue has been solved.

My USB wireless adapter was Asus USB N-13
But that does not matter. The principle is the same, which is to check in the event viewer what was the error and try to solve it.

Thanks again

Regards
Haider

Yes, 64 bit OS reads full memory.

Hi guys,

First of all, thank you for the iso, it installed so easily and it seems just as promised!
I'm having a small question, because i had Win 7 on partition 0 and created a 2nd partition to install Win XP. Now, i managed to fix booting Win 7, but XP is still not booting: "BOOTMGR missing".
I think i need the Recovery Console for this, but is this included in the torrent? Any suggestions?

Many thanks in advance for any useful tip and thanks again for making XP available by torrent!

Hello giannis 8)
Did you use EasyBCD for restoring the boot sector of Windows XP? ???

Yeah it is included by default in all Windows CD, unless & until the uploader has not removed it. ::)

If you really want a 64 bit OS
then you should try this: ;)

It works like a charm. :)

You're using XP-64 or did you just run it on top of VMware out of curiosity? I've never even seen a company that so much as writes drivers for it. For XP-32 no sweat, but 64?

i just installed on an acer aspire one and when I boot  but it can't see wireless networks.
I left old xp home on and booted back and wireless networks are present.
Is there something i'm missing here?
I thought the wireless module was in the hardware of the laptop not the operating system.
Thanks for any answers

One more thing...Thanks for the awesome torrent!!!

May be you haven't installed the drivers of your wireless networks yet.
If so, install all the drivers of your PC, as those drivers are not included in this XP release.
Good luck.  :) :D

Hello,

I have a major problem!!! I was upgrading my Windows XP via "Microsoft.Windows.XP.Professional.SP3.Integrated.March.2012.SATA.By.Maher." and now when I turn on the computer it says "presetup and setup.org" are missing and is now in an endless loop of restarting!

Help please!

Title: Re: Windows XP Support
Post by: Ahmad on April 24, 2012, 04:18 PM
@ neil2600

First, you have to check if you have downloaded the ISO file of Maher completely.
Check the MD5 hash value of the ISO file, it must be identical to this:
Code (MD5 hash value of Maher's March XP ISO file) Select
AA7E3A3CB3411FA6F2568F9ED0181716
If it's identical, then you have the right ISO file with no problems.

Second, burn the ISO file at the lowest speed possible to avoid errors and verify after burning to be sure that there are no problems with burning process.
Remember to choose burn image file from the software you are burning with. I mean don't burn the ISO file like any data CD as in that case, it won't boot !!

Third, if you did all of that with no success, check the cables of your Hard disk and DVD as they may be corrupted and need to be changed.

After that, I don't have enough knowledge, buddy.
SO, I hope this will help you.
Good luck.  :) ;) :D
Title: Re: Windows XP Support
Post by: neil2600 on April 24, 2012, 09:27 PM

You're not sure? Has it ever occurred to you to go into your BIOS to at least see what was there and what the settings were? Be that as it may, how old is your computer? Even on the 6 year old clunker in the corner of my living room has 2 slots for connecting SATA drives, although primarily it was designed for the old IDE system. BTW, IDE drives aren't as easy to get as they were years ago.

Incidentally, it's critical that you at least look at the BIOS and see how it's configured. To play it safe and prevent complaints, manufacturers use the "safest" settings (safest=slowest). On my board, the SATA slot are all set by default to the IDE mode instead of AHCI. To make matters worse, it's even configured  NOT to activate all cores on the CPU if you've got multiple cores. After changing all those settings and speeding up the memory's frequency , finally when it starts up, the board says "All 4 Cores Activated" -- before I got no such message. I DO get bluescreened every now and then, but it happens so infrequently I haven't reversed anything.

You can ask whatever you want anytime.  :) :D

There are many tools to check MD5 hash value of files.
You can try this one:   [HashMyFiles]
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/hash_my_files.html

Note that there are many types of hash values like CRC32, MD5 & SHA1.

Good luck.  ;)

I know I've asked this before, but just want to be sure I get it right. The term "hash" refers to a unique "fingerprint" the file has, and CRC32, MD5 and SHA1 are "systems" for checking it?

I'm curious as to why you'd want the hash value of the files in your HD, assuming the above is true?
Title: Re: Windows XP Support
Post by: Ahmad on April 30, 2012, 01:24 AM
@ humbert
YES, you're right.

It just helps to compare the value of the file you have with the value that Maher posts >>>  If they are identical, then you have the right file with no viruses or problems [The same file from the vendor].

SO, its job is all about checking and being sure you have the same file.

If you are planning to format ONLY the C Drive, then you will have to backup your files to another drive. For eg: D Drive and just format the C Drive
If you are planning to format the WHOLE HDD (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php) then you will have to backup all your drives or files to an external HDD.

All this makes perfect sense. What I wasn't aware of was the fact that Maher posts a hash too. I just looked inside the ISO of February's Win 7-64 which Bladeshark gave me the torrent link for, and I'm not seeing a text file with any kind of hash on it. If I wanted the check the hash on that ISO, how exactly would I go about it?

Hello UndeadLord. :)

My drive is also an IDE as my computer is old, and I'm working with Maher's XP very well.
The difference is that I don't need the SATA drivers that Maher includes in his XP, BUT it doesn't make any problems because they are as if they don't exist.

SO, if that what you are asking for, go ahead and this XP will work with your computer very well.

BUT recently, I've installed the October release and since then, I didn't format the C drive or apply GHOST. Also, I'm working with Auslogics BoostSpeed to repair my system. Really it's very good and not heavy on system like TuneUp which I used to use.

Just asking this because I always wanted to learn & use Ghost, But I can't try it on my PC as I am afraid I might do something wrong & then my Data may go in air. :D

@ BLADESHARK. :D

Regarding TuneUp, it's my favorite, but I didn't use versions after 2007 because it's heavy on my PC as it's old. BUT I may return to it when near upgrading because I trust it.

Regarding GHOST, YES, I know how to backup and restore.

I don't need an external HDD ;;  I just backup the C drive only to an image file which I save it on D drive to use it later in restoring the C drive again.
I use the GHOST program in Hiren's BootCD, almost the DOS version, and sometimes the one in mini XP... anyway they are the same.

I have a dear friend called "Hossam". I learned a lot from him. When I had a PC, he taught me some basic things about PC including how to backup and restore with GHOST.

In GHOST, you have the option to backup the entire disk to an image file and then, you need an external disk to put the backup image on.
The other option is to backup only a partition to an image file, and then you can put the image file on another partition on the same disk.
I did backup and restore many times, but every time I'm very careful to choose the right destination partition to restore, as any mistake, my data will fly away.
When restoring, I open GHOST, choose the option to restore a partition from an image file, specify the image file and then the destination partition which is C drive or the first one [I know it by its size], and finally read the task that is going to be done carefully, then apply.

Finally, it's so easy and simple, but you need to read the options and steps available for you carefully and choose what you want, and you'll be safe.

Sorry for being non organized.

You can find the repair option in any of Maher's release before 2012 [Like Dec 2011 or Nov 2011]
I don't know really bcoz I have not installed mahers XP from a long time.

The one that my friend BLADESHARK told you about, already has Repair option because it's the original untouched XP from Microsoft.
http://www.nomaher.com/forum/index.php?topic=604.0

Regarding Maher's XP releases, they have NO Repair option. And I've checked my October 2011 release and it also doesn't have Repair option.

So if you want Repair, go for the original untouched one.

@ BLADESHARK. :D
Regarding GHOST, YES, I know how to backup and restore.
I don't need an external HDD ;;  I just backup the C drive only to an image file which I save it on D drive to use it later in restoring the C drive again.
I use the GHOST program in Hiren's BootCD, almost the DOS version, and sometimes the one in mini XP... anyway they are the same.
I have a dear friend called "Hossam". I learned a lot from him. When I had a PC, he taught me some basic things about PC including how to backup and restore with GHOST.
I've created a topic about how to use Norton Ghost in this link:
http://www.nomaher.com/forum/index.php?topic=611.0
Good luck.  ;)

For those of you like me who hate large, bloated stuff, I found a little thingie somewhere called "Windows Images". It's basically a backup program just over 7-MB in size, but the thing is awesome! You can back up both full and incremental without rebooting, even across networks or to DVD's. It also creates a small bootup CD for restoring, and give you the option of doing it using either DOS or Linux (either one works for a Windows backup). Don't like CD's and rather use a pendrive to boot from USB to restore? It supports that too. You can go into your backup and restore files individually by either using an Explorer-type program or mounting the backup file as a virtual drive. Given its size, it puts Norton Ghost to shame.

I also found a little thingie called JetClean which is just great. It catches cookies that Ccleaner misses and gives you the option of cleaning them or keeping them. It even found out (something I hadn't realized) than when I installed Firefox 12, all the changes to make it faster were blown away and everything was set to default (remember guys, default=slowest). Natually I told the programs to reset the settings. It optimized internet settings for speed too, plus other good stuff.

Anyone who wants copies I'll be more than happy to put them on my Dropbox and post the download link so you can check 'em out.

@ humbert.  :D

Yeah, I know about "Windows Images" from Hiren's BootCD and I think it is good. and Yeah, I don't like bloated programs. But I used to back up C drive with GHOST and I don't need it in any other functions ;; Just back up C and restore it.
Just for information, I'm using ONLY the EXE file of Norton GHOST which is 1.83MB for DOS version, and 3.79MB for windows version.
I never used the whole setup program of Norton GHOST, and I don't know how it looks like, and I don't want to know.

Hello mrunknown 8)
Have you installed your LAN Drivers that came with your PC
If you have installed LAN Drivers then Go To Device Manager

Here's How:
Click on Start and then Control Panel.
Click on the Performance and Maintenance link.

Note: If you're viewing the Classic View of Control Panel, you won't see this link. Simple double-click on the System icon and proceed
In the Performance and Maintenance window, click on the System icon near the bottom of the window.
In the System Properties window, click on the Hardware tab.
With the Hardware tab selected, click on the Device Manager button.
You can now use Device Manager

First Scan for any Hardware Changes.
If you see any yellow question mark, right click on the icon and select update.
It would ask you to connect to the Internet or browse for the Drivers, Select the desired option and wait for some time.
If the update is successful then you should be able to connect to the Internet
Hope you solve your problem. :)
See you soon ;)

Hi, Me again  :(

when running the setup it keeps asking me to put in the disk, is there a way around this or do i need to burn the file onto a CD-R?

if i do need to burn it, which Burning software do you reccommend?
Title: Re: Windows XP Support
Post by: Ahmad on May 15, 2012, 10:11 PM
@ UndeadLord. :D  Hey, buddy. :)

You can't install windows from Daemon.
You must burn the ISO image to a CD or DVD and install from it and keep the CD inserted during the whole installation process.

To burn the torrent file you have downloaded (ISO file), use any image burn software like NERO, UltraISO, PowerISO, MagicISO or ImgBurn.
BUT, be sure to use the option "Write/Burn ISO image".

If you put the ISO file you have downloaded onto the CD and burn like any data CD, it won't boot.

You must specify to burn CD/DVD image.

Also, it's recommended to choose the lowest burning speed (4x) to avoid errors.

This is a tutorial about burning image with PowerISO :
http://www.nomaher.com/forum/index.php?topic=380.0

And this with MagicISO :

I don't understand what you mean. In XP, "workgroup" is nothing more than the default name of your domestic internal network and isn't related to anything internet. You can change it to any name you want assuming the other computers on your LAN do the same one.

Greetings Mr. Mahel!

I'm new here in your site and I recently downloaded your Windows XP SP3 May edition (the first one that comes out when you search it to TPB). As I view the comments there, no one has ever encountered the same problem as I did. I downloaded the ISO, burnt it, and installed it. But for some reasons, I'm getting this error saying that "SETUPORG.exe does not exist in the i386 folder on UXPCD". There's a RETRY and SKIP options and technically, i will choose the SKIP button. The installation will finish but when the computer reboots itself, it won't continue saying that there's a missing file.

C:\WINDOWS\system32\presetup.cmd - FILE NOT FOUND!
C:\WINDOWS\system32\setupORG.exe - FILE NOT FOUND!
(setupORG.exe - > Original windows Setup.exe)

POSSIBLE CAUSE:
1. "Presetup.cmd" not exist in the i386 folder on UXPCD
    "setupORG.exe" not exist in the i386 folder on UXPCD

2. Check your "Txtsetup.sif" in the i386 folder on UXPCD
---Txtsetup.sif: -------------------------------------
[SourceDisksFiles]
setupORG.exe = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0; must exist
presetup.cmd = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0; must exist
--------------------------------------------------------

SETUP ABORT


when i press OK, the system will reboot and will go on a loop just like this. I don't know how to solve this. I've went through various forums and it seems that most of them haven't found the answers yet. I thought you can help me with this. I can't use my laptop now even if i run it in safe mode.

Please help me as soon as possible. Your help will be very much appreciated.

Thank you!

Hello!! :D
The problem you are facing is because of corrupted files
Please make sure you download the full iso file and keep it sometime for seeding ???
Then burn the iso to a disc at the lowest speed possible [2x or 4x] to avoid any errors.
then reinstall windows and see the difference ;)
Good Luck Buddy :D
Title: Re: Windows XP Support
Post by: tg723 on May 26, 2012, 11:53 AM
Thanks BladeShark for the quick response!!!

I'll be downloading it again and hope it will make a difference. However, I just want some things to be clarified (if it's okay)

1. After the download (and seeding of course :D), the only thing that I will do is to burn that single ISO file in a disc right?

2. I'm using BurnAware Free Software as my burning tool. When i create a bootable disc, it always ask me to have an image file before proceeding to burn. Can you explain to me what does that mean?

Thank you again for entertaining my questions :D

@ tg723. :)  Hello. :D

You don't need to create a bootable disk.. The ISO file you have downloaded is already bootable.
All you need to do is burning this ISO image onto a CD or DVD with any image burn software like NERO, UltraISO, PowerISO, MagicISO or ImgBurn. BUT, be sure [with any burning software] to use the option "Write/Burn ISO image".

If you put the ISO file you have downloaded onto the CD and burn like any data CD, it won't boot.

My neighbours machine has crashed and I'm trying to salvage things from the HD before I reformat it again, but have some problem. They had 5 different logons on the machine and two of them were protected with password. I have now installed the HD in one of my machine to try and copy the files to mine and it all works well, except for the two that had password. It is the folder in Document & Settings /User1 and /User2. I can see the filetree in the folders but it doesn't allow me to copy anything. On every row there is a + after the file/folder size. I talked to them and have the password, but I can't enter that anywhere of course.
Is there anything  can do to save these files?

First the ISO has to be bootable. You didn't say if it was. If you open it with Ultra ISO or Power ISO, It will say bootable CD/DVD  or Data/ . If it's bootable, you can burn it with Nero , Imageburm Ect. Then you have to go to the computers BIOS. Look for a boot menu. Set the CD/DVD as the first boot device. Restart computer. It will boot from cd.

Most burning software should recognize it. Imageburn will show a message that it's bootable. If your not sure, get imageburn. It's free. Search for it. Just be carfulle when you install it, look for any Installl Yahoo bar or other stuff uncheck those boxes.

As my friend, BLADESHARK, said.

You can have more detail about burning Here (http://www.nomaher.com/forum/index.php?topic=133.msg4476#msg4476), if you need.

Regarding the AntiVirus Rescue Disk, You can download Kaspersky Rescue Disk from Here (http://support.kaspersky.com/viruses/rescuedisk?level=2), and burn it on a CD or DVD in the same previous way as ISO image NOT Data, then boot from it.

Good luck.  :D

@cosmic.  Now I see why your confused. If the antivirus disk from almad & BLADESHARK dosn't help, and you want to just format the hard drive & re install windows. Your confused about the ISO file. An ISO file is sort of like a zip file. Inside the ISO there are a bunch of smaller files. You can't just burn the ISO as a single  file. You have to burn it as an image or ISO file. A program like  Imageburn is sort of like wizip or winrar in that It will extract all the files in the ISO & copy it to a cd.

@BLADESHARK, Thanks for the info.   I thing Cozmic is very new to Image files. I repair computers & sometimes I get a costumer that wants a full explanation of how things work. I try to figure out what they allready know, then make refrences to that. At first I thought cozmic just wanted to make sure the ISO file had the boot info. Then I realized he  thought he could burn the ISO file the same way you would add a document to a disk & burn it.
I used the reference to ZIP files before because most people understand that inside there are more files.

Hope you see why I explained it that way.

I realize that some drivers need to be updated, but I can't do it without connecting to the internet. I'm guessing it's the ethernet driver that I have to update but again, I can't do it without internet access. Anybody else have this problem? Please help and thank you.
Hello mbmirel83 8)
Please install ALL the drivers from the Drivers disc which came with your Motherboard. :) OR use Driver Pack Solution.
For your info - Maher's Windows XP includes only SATA Drivers and Windows Updates NOT LAN or Ethernet drivers.

Driver Pack Solution is an excellent choice. Yesterday while reconfiguring, I downloaded the latest version and it put in 10 new drivers, all without error. It even put in a SATA controller that previously wasn't even listed in Device Manager. I'd use this as my first choice assuming mbmirel83 already has it. One thing I've noticed is that for almost all products you buy, the CD that comes with it has old drivers. Naturally, if no connection to the internet exists and mbmirel83 has only the motherboard CD, then I'd say use that to get back online in order to get a copy of DPS and update.

I've always had terrible luck simply choosing an item on Device Manager and clicking where it says to look for an update. For me that rarely works.

Hey guys I just tried to reinstall Windows XP on my computer (using "Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP3 Integrated May 2012")  and have run into a few problems.

1) After the install I noticed that I could not connect to the internet. After some investigating I found that the Network Adapter was not being recognized... not really sure what to do here... I downloaded some drivers on another computer and put them on a flash drive....

2) I tried to install said drivers from the flash drive but got an error that there was not enough space on my "C" drive for an install. - the "C drive" should be empty aside from the Windows install but according to "My Computer" I have 0 MB out of 0 MB free.

Any idea what I did wrong and how I can fix this would be appreciated!

Thanks!

You might be as unlucky as i was, i couldnt get any internet connection so i had to install windows 7. If you have, try a wireless USB WiFi hub.

Just make sure you downloaded Maher's own XP by checking/verifying the Hash.

This XP ain't includes ALL the drivers. It just includes the SATA Drivers not the drivers for LAN or Ethernet.

Windows XP requires approx. 3GB for installation and take about 2GB for extra updates included by Maher, So total of 5GB just for your Windows XP OS and remaining for your other programs.
So you should have about 30GB for C Drive
Check while installing XP, if you have more than 10GB on C Drive, Something is really wrong (assuming you have Maher's XP) with your HDD or your Partitions.

When was the last time you saw that someone couldn't spare 30 GB of free space -- unless that person has 2 year-old SSD or something? If not, to fill up any magnetic drive sold today  isn't exactly easy.

BTW - I'm in love with my SSD, and it's only SATA II which is all my board will support. Windows boots momentarily, and Ubuntu even faster.

A solid-state drive (SSD), sometimes called a solid-state disk or electronic disk, is a data storage device that uses integrated circuit assemblies as memory to store data persistently. SSD technology uses electronic interfaces compatible with traditional block I/O hard disk drives. SSDs do not employ any moving mechanical components, which distinguishes them from traditional magnetic disks such as hard disk drives (HDDs) or floppy disk, which are electromechanical devices containing spinning disks and movable read/write heads.[1] Compared to electromechanical disks, SSDs are typically less susceptible to physical shock, are silent, and have lower access time and latency, but are, at present market prices, more expensive per unit of storage.

Yes, they must be faster than the normal hard disks.
From your words, they are similar to flash drives on a bigger scale, right?

Exactly right. They are solid state, i.e., nothing moves. You can drop that sucker from a 2nd story building to a concrete floor and your data will still be safe. They're a lot faster than the USB 2.0 flashdrives I've played around with because they use the motherboard's SATA ports. Best of all, the price is rapidly dropping. I bought mine (160 GB model) 6 months ago for $217 (best price I could find). Today in one of those computer related flyers I get in the mail, I saw a 128 KB model for as low as 119. The magnetic hard drive is like that dinosaur looking at the sky as that asteroid headed rapidly toward the earth, knowing full well his demise was at hand.

I have an old pc and I am trying to install Windows XP on it but all my efforts were in vein cause during installation Windows XP don't recognize the hard drive and say that no hard drive was found...
I have successfully managed to install Windows 7 on it but since it has only 1 GB of RAM and Windows 7 need at least 2 GB I can't use them...
I searched a lot through websites and found that because the hard drive is SATA connected I need the appropriate SATA drives to install Windows XP...
I searched the site of the motherboards company but I didn't found the SATA drives and additionally the pc doesn't have a Floppy disk controller so I can't provide the SATA drives that way...
I tried the "Microsoft.Windows.XP.Professional.SP3.Integrated.May.2012.SATA.By.Maher.[www.nomaher.com]" torrent but still the Windows XP can't recognize the hard drive... I don't know if I made any mistakes with your Windows XP Integrated (I didn't do anything different during installation like search for SATA drivers)...

your computer will restart
again go to bios and make sure your sata controller is set to ATA, not AHCI.

If you're referring in the specific case of installing XP or any other OS, using a virtual drive is out of the question. Keep in mind you have to boot from the CD (impossible in a virtual drive scenario), and there's at least one reboot from start to finish where another OS enters the picture. This is one situation where you have to bite the bullet and burn.

Hey buddy. :)

Do you have any drivers CD/DVD coming with your macbook?
Because when we install any OS, we install the drivers for sound, vga and internet. And those drivers come with the motherboard or laptop.
So, you need to install the appropriate internet driver for your macbook.

If you don't have any drivers CD/DVD, you can try DriverPack Solution (http://drp.su/download.htm)
It will scan your system for any missing drivers and install them.
Good luck.  :D

VMware & Virtual box ONLY have the ability to detect a disc in ROM drive or you can mount an ISO or they both can even detect a usb drive.

Maher has uploaded the ISO itself, you needn't extract it. Directly burn into a CD with the lowest possible speed. Remember do not burn as a DATA disc, select burn image file.

I have question, I've burned ISO file as bootable CD ( I used Nero Express/Data/Bootable Data Disk and burned the ISO file, is that ok? ) and when it starts booting from CD is says:
Starting Caldera DR-DOS
(in one of the lines i read, No drives found, aborting installation)
then it analyzes other things and finishes, waiting for me to type the command
[DR-DOS] A:>

Ones again big thanks to all you people who know and  want to share that.

Hey buddy. :)
Sadly, it's not OK.
You need to use the option "Burn image" NOT in the Data section at all.
The ISO file is already bootable, you only need to choose burn disk image and it'll boot normally with you.
Good luck. ;)

i tried enable these but its temporerly works after reboot same problems again.
please help me.

Hi. :)
It seems that your PC is infected with an Autorun virus.
Make sure to install a good antivirus and update its virus signature database, then make a full system scan.
Or if you're familiar with antivirus rescue disks, you can download Kaspersky rescue disk for example from Here (http://support.kaspersky.com/viruses/rescuedisk?level=2) and burn the ISO image on a blank CD/DVD and boot from it.

I got everything downloaded and it worked great, until I got to trying to add the programs and such. I got a Copy Error saying "setup cannot copy the file avtapi.dl_." I can't figure out what to do from here. I have the disc inside still and still won't work.

Hey :)
It seems that there is a problem in burning.
Burn the ISO image again on a blank CD/DVD at the lowest speed and verify after burning.
Follow instructions about burning in this post (Here (http://www.nomaher.com/forum/index.php?topic=645.msg4604#msg4604)).

Good luck.  :D

I downloaded Microsoft.Windows.XP.Professional.SP3.Integrated.January.2012.SATA.By.Maher.[www.nomaher.com].iso

I wasn't able to install Realtek HD audio driver. I was finally able to install it by uninstalling MS UAA. But this made windows very slow to start. Add to it windows keep asking about new hardware found and to install MS UAA HD bus driver. How to completely uninstall it? Or is there a way to improve the performance by keeping the UAA and installing Realtek HD?

There are 4 or 5 same process running eg. svchost.exe and chrome.exe(although i opened chrome once)  Is it normal? or Is it gonna make my computer slow?

What's up with 30 day trial period? I didn't upgrade the previous version. I installed the new copy by formatting the older one. Am i doing wrong?

If you simply want to burn a CD or DVD from an iso image, start by downloading one of the millions of burning programs out there. I've never used Imgburn but I've heard very good reviews. I personally like Burnaware Pro, which is available on almost all the torrent sites. After you've done that, to install simply boot from the CD you created and follow the instructions.

I'm curious as to why you'd want to install XP if your computer can do Vista. If you prefer XP, I know someone here will easily provide a link for it. It's probably available at the torrent sites. Make sure you get Maher's version, that one's foolproof.

Hi Maher. Thank you for providing these excellent releases of Windows XP!
I am still curious though, to what SATA drivers that are included?
I need the one for Intel Z68 chipset, but I'm not sure if I should slipstream them myself, because it might be conflicted by your SATA drivers integrated.. So would be excellent to know!

Thanks in advance,

The problem you are facing is because you have tried the maximum number of attempts to insert the serial key :o
Click Back 2-3 times and then try again - You will succeed  :) [Assuming you insert the serial key correctly this time]

MODERATORS,, its me x_odlanyer_x,, and that account has been waiting for deletion. I like this more than that.

Anyways, madam, have you tried the so-called "Universal Product Key for Windows XP"??
If not, then here it is:   *** No serials allowed. /Ahmad

Hope it'll help you.
Anyways, if that works... and after installing the Windows XP, better to use a program (i just forgot the name), that could change the Product Key of what you've input. So this process will help you to pass WGA if there was a test needed. :)

And maybe you can use this in the future:   *** No serials allowed. /Ahmad

I think, it really matters on how you do reformatting. There are two ways actually.
The first one is letting your installer run through Autorun. (Means, you let everything to load first until the idle state on Desktop).
And the second one is much more technical but recommended. Reformatting by setting-up your BIOS to boot first into your cd-rom.

Sorry if I cant explain that good, but if you do the first one... maybe there is something with your old installed OS or any of the program interfer/disturbed with the one you are going to install.

Not that sure. Sorry!  ::) :o

Ahhh.......... now I get it :o
Are you trying to upgrade, and I am damn sure the answer is YES, because you only have to insert the serial when you are upgrading from a previous OS. If you are doing a Clean Install you won't have to insert any serial.
And to make matters worse you might be having Windows Xp Home Edition before or Windows Xp Professional OEM.
Is your previous version of XP OEM or VLK ???
Your previous version might be OEM that's why you are facing such a problem
The key is for VLK :)

Hello again.  Thank you once again for your expertise and kindness in sharing your skills.  I think you are right.  I have Windows XP Media Centre Edition 2002 on my PC and I can't find a newer version of the same.  I have tried a clean install and still get the same 'invalid' message.  I'm not sure what OEM and VLK are?  Sorry - completely clueless...

Do you have any advice on how to get out of the 'Media Centre' edition and do a clean install?

Many thanks
Beth

Hey Beth, I Surfed The Whole Web For It But Couldn't Find The Appropriate File. Some Of Them Are Not Bootable While Some Of Them Are With 0 Seeds. The Direct Links Are Of Multiple Parts. If A Single Part Shows 404 Then It's All Lost. So, I Have A ISO Image Of It. I Shall Try To Upload It ASAP.

Hope You Can Wait Upto It.

i cant start my pc in safe mode if i attempt to start in safe mode its simply restrts in normal mode pls help me.
Probably your PC is infected with virus.[Run a full scan from your antivirus]
type "msconfig" without quotes in RUN and hit enter.
under the boot tab -> check safe boot and apply.
you will be prompted to restart and after restart you will be directly logging into safe mode. :)
To go back to normal uncheck the safe boot option.

Windows XP Media Center Edition is a version of the Windows XP operating system and is no longer being sold. So, it's outdated.

I Suggest You To Upgrade To Maher's Windows 7 Ultimate. It Also Has That.

Thanks for telling but there is always some problem I already tried installing MS Office 2010 and MS Office 2007 but it always shows me error which says some file like "ProPlus.WW\ProPs.cab" is missing although that file is present.

But when I installed Windows XP Home Edition non genuine version having MS Office 2007 included in it worked fine.
Anybody has solution for this problem?

Please tell me what to do as Using PowerPoint is so much important for me!

something like this used to happen to me before... & just as I lost all my hope in finding the reason, I figured out that my antivirus is causing It, after I disabled It temporary, It installed perfectly. you should give It a try.

No! because we are talking about the SETUP not the Download (because the Download was in ISO format) even after the ISO gets mounted, nothing happens till the AntiVir gets provoked when the installing starts.

hooly fuaack! portugese, really!? well... I could look for a new one, I really thought u where looking for MS OFFICE 2007, so now u decided for 2010 right!?
well... as about choosing x64 or x86. that depends on Ur Operative System, If u have Win XP 32bit, than u must install software for x86 (32bit)
If u have XP 64bit then u must install software for x64.
now.. If u want to download the latest MS OFFICE 2010, I myself went to the official microsoft office website & downloaded the FULL trial of the "professional" version. then I just found on torrentz the EZ activator v2.2.3. (& Cracked It).

How exactly are you getting on TPB these days? When India established censorship, I remember you were getting through via another site not on their blacklist. Then you mentioned you tried out HideMyAss and it worked. So tell us..... one day, I just might need it.

As The Nawab said.. The file you're downloading is already a bootable ISO image. But remember not to burn it like any data DVD..  Choose the option to burn an image.
And format option is allowed during windows installation, so you can format during setup.

Good luck.  ;)

@ uzz3r, Hello. :)

I'm with my friend fankoosh in what he said.
If you have an external drive [a flash drive for example], try to extract to it and see.
If it fails too, then you may have a corrupt file.. So, as my friends said before me, you can use uTorrent and force re-check the downloaded file to see if it's not downloaded completely.

UPDATE:
Wait a second... You said you've downloaded August 2012 release, then you are supposed to have a .RAR file >>> Extract this file and it'll give you the ISO file which you should burn.
You're trying to extract the ISO file.. Don't extract that ISO file as Maher said after 2 posts.

Good luck. ;)

Hey fellas, I'm wondering is it possible to use this ISO in VirtualBox/Parralells on a Mac?
Yes, you can.

You're trying to extract the ISO file, that's wrong!
The ISO file should be burned into a blank CD with minimal writing speed.
Good luck.

You need to install your PC's drivers for sound, graphic and LAN from the CD that came with it, because they are not integrated in the XP release.

If you don't have it, you can download DriverPack Solution from Here (http://drp.su/) .
It'll search for the uninstalled drivers on your PC and install them.

P.S:  Its size 3GB.

@Brad. :)
What do you mean by iso cd in the drive?

Are you trying to install windows XP from the ISO file loaded in a virtual drive [Like Daemon Tools] ?
If so, it'll fail. You must burn the ISO file on a blank CD or DVD as an image not Data CD. Then modify boot sequence in your BIOS to boot from CD first and it'll start windows installation.

For more information, refer to this link:

@Brad.

Did you burn the ISO file as Data CD? If so, this is wrong and it won't boot . You must burn it as image. This is the possible reason I know for this problem.

Read this tutorial carefully to know how to burn ISO image with PowerISO:

@Brad. :)

But the ISO file you've downloaded is already bootable. You don't need to change it and make it bootable. What I'm saying is to only burn it with any burning software as image burning not data.

Sorry if I can't help. But this is the possible cause I know for your problem.

You can download the latest release of September 2012 from Torrent (http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/7628890/Microsoft_Windows_XP_Professional_SP3_Integrated_September_2012) or SoftArchive (http://softarchive.net/blogs/maherz/w_nd_ws_xp_pr_fesional_p_x_ntegrted_september.1023066.html)

The only plausible explanation I can see is the fact that the HD is partitioned in such a way that only 2 Windows partitions (Fat32 or NTFS) exist. The remainder of the drive is either unallocated space or maybe a Linux partition(s) Windows can't see. There are many tools you can use to check if this is the case and promptly solve the problem. For starters, do you have a copy of Hiren's boot disk? If so, boot from it, open mini-XP and then Partition Wizard (or another similar program). It will immediately let you know.

Before I give you more help, go ahead and do this first just to make sure this is what we're dealing with.

1) Windows XP is only 32bit correct? You haven't changed it to allow 64bit?
2) Since it's just a retail version it won't be supported anymore after the developers stop. Or will you be?

2) Since it's just a retail version it won't be supported anymore after the developers stop. Or will you be?

1-) There is XP 64-bit. BUT Maher doesn't do releases for it because they say it has problems. Of course Maher's XP [32-bit] runs very well on 64-bit processors because 64-bit processors support 32-bit systems. But 32-bit processors don't support 64-bit systems.

2-) I'll answer according to my understanding..
Actually, Maher modifies on the original XP SP3 volume license version NOT the retail. Anyway, Microsoft will stop the support for XP in April 2014. After that, there will be no updates for XP. So, I think Maher will continue his work for XP till this time.

I hope you find what you seek in my answer.  :)

I think this is a problem of burning.. Burn the ISO file you downloaded as image [not data] with the lowest burning speed and verify after burning.

Ahmad is correct in his post. This happens because some of the motherboard's programming has to be copied to RAM for everything to operate properly.

If I were you, I'd grab a copy of the Chief's Win-7 Ultimate x64 and install it on your drive. even it it means having to reformat. I also have a 3 year old laptop with 4-GB RAM and a 64-bit compatible processor, and the old clunker runs great on it.

As I see it, the only guys who should still be running 32bit OS' are those who are stuck with an old system and can't upgrade. My dear friend Ahmad is in that situation, hopefully not much longer.  :)

As long as you have 4GB of RAM, you should run Windows 7 64-bit.

Actually it is a face that windows xp supports maximum of 3Gb of RAM only.
You can try installing windows vista, or windows 7 for getting all of ur ram to work.

Or maybe try installing windows xp 64bit. I think it supports 4Gb of RAM.

The 32 bit OS, whether XP, Vista, or Win7, will, depending on hardware, generally make anywhere from 3 to 3.5 GB of RAM available. More than that will require a 64 bit OS and a brand new install. You will not be able to directly upgrade a 32 bit OS to a 64 bit OS. You will need to reformat and start over.

I read before that to uninstall IE8, it must have been installed after installing service pack, and I think this isn't the case in Maher's releases.

May be there is a solution, but this is what I know about that. ???  :-[

Remove IE8 from the Add & Remove Windows components.
After restart you will have IE6. :D

This doesn't work for me with the September 2012 release, when I try to Add/Remove IE8 I get dialogs about some DLLs missing. If I ignore the errors and continue, everything is borked on reboot.  :(

Any ideas?
I would not recommend downgrading Internet Explorer at all!
Good luck.

I saw your WinXP torrent and I am about to download it.

Thank you for providing it to us!

I just have one question... what is this about needing to install drivers? How do I install these drivers? One person said that he couldn't connect to Wi-Fi because he needed drivers. Well if I need to download these drivers via internet, how do I download them if I can't access the internet in the first place lol.

Someone please help. I want to know this before I install WinXP

@Dunknow:

Normally, every PC comes with a DVD which has all the needed drivers for this PC... Sound, VGA, Net...etc.

If you have this DVD, install all the drivers from it after XP installation.

If you don't have it, you can download DriverPack Solution which is a huge drivers DVD containing almost every driver you'll need for any PC.
You can download it from Here (http://drp.su/download.htm).

Good luck. ;)

Are you talking about the ISO for Windows XP (Maher's release)? If so, what's this about extracting the ISO? You're supposed to burn that to a CD or a flashdrive using Microsoft's DVD/USB tool. I'm assuming this tool works OK with XP as well as Win7 and Win8.

Whenever I need to extract an ISO, I use Total Commander's ISO plugin and I've never had an error message. Are you sure you're not doing something wrong or maybe got the wrong file? I think it's possible to check the hash to be sure it's the right one.

Yes, Maher's September 2012 sin xp sp3 release. I downloaded it from his user on TPB.

ISOs can't be burned to USB sticks.

I can't use a CD as I want to install winxp on my netbook (no CD Drive).

So yeah, at the moment I'm going to start using different ISO extraction tools. I'll report back here.

Man, Im not sure what's going on. I am always getting this error when I boot from my USB...

Please re-install a copy of the file above."
Title: Re: Windows XP Support
Post by: Ahmad on October 04, 2012, 05:59 AM
@Dunknow:

The file you've downloaded is a compressed RAR file. You should extract it to give you the ISO file.  If it asks for a password to extract, this is it:
maherz.softarchive.net.
If the problem persists, try another extraction program like 7-Zip (http://www.7-zip.org/download.html).
But the RAR file must be extracted without errors.

After extraction, check the MD5 hash of the ISO file.. It must be this:
Code (MD5 hash of September 2012 ISO) Select
C46C98CAC30042C8D278CDC606A7C981
If the hash is identical, then it's OK and you have the right ISO file. It should also be extracted without errors. Or you can mount the ISO file to a virtual drive like DAEMON Tools to avoid ISO extraction.

There is another tool [I tried before] to put XP on flash drive and it needs the ISO file without extraction called Rufus (http://rufus.akeo.ie/). You can give it a try.

But be sure that the MD5 hash of the ISO file is identical:
Code (MD5 hash of September 2012 ISO) Select
C46C98CAC30042C8D278CDC606A7C981
This is the important thing to be sure that you have the right ISO file.
If it's NOT identical, download it agian, or force RE-CHECK with uTorrent as it may not be downloaded completely.

Good luck.  ;)

Okay, I got win xp to download thank god.

I used DAEMON TOOLS + WINTOFLASH. So for those encountering problems, that is the setup you should go after.

Now the only problem is, I can't get a battery driver to install :( Driverpack solution isn't prompting anything and I can't really find much on the internet. I need to know how much the laptop battery is at so I can charge it etc.

Any help would be appreciated!

Guys I tried install win xp through a usb, but in all cases I get a "failed to copy a file" at 92% and then when reboot I get a
"hal.dll is corrupt or missing". This happened with both the august and september editions. I also checked the MD5 hash and the ISO is correct.

I have used rar and 7-zip to unrar, magic disc and daemon tools lite to extract and usb multiboot 10 to format the usb. In any combination of the above the result is the same. It doesnt work.

Any ideas?
Title: Re: Windows XP Support
Post by: Ahmad on October 07, 2012, 10:38 AM
@peterhead:

Are you using WinToFlash?
If so, make sure that it's the latest version. Because the latest versions of it have an option in the menu of XP installation [At the time when choosing text phase and GUI phase] regarding hal.dll errors.
So, try this option. It may help.

If the same problem happened, try this tool (Rufus (http://rufus.akeo.ie/)).

If the same problem happened, I want you to know that not all motherboards succeed in installing XP from USB including mine >>> It gives me BSOD [Blue Screen Of Death] and I'm doing everything right as I tried the same flash drive on my cousin's PC and it worked.

And one more thing sir...
What is the concept of the security updates?
Each month have new security updates?
(For example Security Update "X" is only be released/seen for the month of Jan. and Security Update "Y" is only be released/seen for the month of Feb.)

Or each month a certain security update was just only enhanced?
(For example Security Update "X" for the month of Jan. still have on for Feb. but enhanced?)

Or could possibly be both?
For the next month, there are still the same update but enhanced at the same time, there are new updates?

I'm just wondering...
Thanks!
Title: Re: Windows XP Support
Post by: Ahmad on October 08, 2012, 12:39 PM
@Odlanyer22:  :)

First.. You won't need any other activations because the serial is genuine and passes windows genuine validation. I did update my windows before through Microsoft Update to be sure.
i.e. Microsoft will see your windows as genuine.

Second..
Every month, Microsoft finds that there is a defect in the Windows security or it may be hacked through a file or a service, so they release a patch or a hotfix to cure this defect. After a while, they may see that the fix they gave before is incomplete, so they enhance it and release a new hotfix replacing the older or they may release a complementary hotfix working beside the older.
Anyway, every month complements what before it.. i.e. September 2012 release has all updates that Microsoft released for Windows XP [The new and enhanced].

Hello,

I have a somewhat atypical problem.
For some time now I have searched for integrated releases of Windows XP for my work. It really saves a lot of time on installation to have a CD with XP that has everything in it, rather than downloading all the updates again and again... especially when you have a lot of computers.
The last distribution I used was Windows XP 32 in 1.

Now, the thing is, I am using XP with a valid OEM license key and I need to active Windows with that key. Of course your distribution doesn't allow that. I tried to apply a small trick and edited the setupp.ini file and changed the PID to Pid=76487OEM. I also changed the Disk's name to GRTMPOEM_EN.

Now, everything works fine until I get to introducing the product key. Here I have two issues:
1. Whatever Professional OEM product key I introduce, it says it's invalid. (Your stock Volume product key is also invalid)
2. If I try to use Next and skip the key introduction thing, I get the dialogue windows with Yes and No, I choose NO but nothing happens, it just brings me back to the windows where I have to put in the product key.

Any ideas on how to get by this?

Just to make it clear, I am not looking for a CD-key, but rather on how to make this distribution install WinXP Pro with a valid OEM CD-key.

Thank you

Hello Blacky,
Unfortunately, you can't use your OEM on this release. It's a Volume License copy, not an OEM.
But why would you want to use your own OEM if this one is working 100%, activated and passes Microsoft Genuine test?
Title: Re: Windows XP Support
Post by: Blacky on October 17, 2012, 09:07 PM
Oh well, looks like I will have to stick to that old 32 in 1 release from March.

Because I use it to install Windows XP at my company and when the guys from the police and copyright investigation come over to check my licenses, they will want to see windows activated with the CD-key that's on the computer's label, not some random volume key.

In my line of work we have to format and reinstall Windows XP all the time and updating it is always time-consuming, that's why I opt for integrated versions that some great guys like you provide. I used to make these integrated versions myself for my work, but now I no longer have the time for it.

So that's my story.
Bottom line, I assure you there are a lot of people out there who want to have Windows XP with all integrated updated, IE8 and NetFramework etc., but use their own legit CD-key to install it.

Just to give you an example of such distribution: http://www.nsaneforums.com/topic/145813-microsoft-windows-7-sp1-x64-aio-5in1-integrated-october-2012-updates/

What I was trying to do, was to convert your Windows XP installation CD, from a Volume ISO into an OEM ISO.

Why not put XP on those computers, put in drivers and all necessary stuff, then simply make a backup which will be restored once the need for reformatting arises? That way you've got a fully activated copy and all that remains is to install and configure the apps you're going to use.

What rules does your company have to follow so they can get past the software police? I assume they must have bought keys that'll work on multiple computers or something of that nature. Also, does your company have ancient computers? I'm asking because otherwise why would they stick to XP in the days of Windows 8?

- We do that, but XP, Net Framework and all the other things get updated rather often by MS, so even if I have a backup copy from 1 year ago, I still need to download 100 MB of updates. It's not the download that's the problem, but the long time it takes for all those updates to get installed. Even on a decent machine it still takes sometimes close to 30 min or even more to install the updates for . Net Framework for instance. Our programs also change all the time, so what we had 6 months ago, won't apply now and so on. All I need is a vanilla XP distribution with all updates integrated.

- It's not a policy, but all our computers were bought with OEM licenses and each new computer we buy has OEM licenses, so that's it. We have no Volume contract with MS.

- Some of the computers are old indeed but not very old. However, the programs we use are designed for XP and on Win 7 or Win 8 they don't work very well, as in, they work much more slower or have long loading times. We don't make those programs.

That's interesting. Off the top of your head give me a few example of programs that have trouble under Windows 8. The only one so far that I had a problem with was Intel's SSD optimizing software. Under W7 it runs great, but under W8 when you install it first it asks you to insert the interface as a command line switch. I then tried 'setup.exe -gui' - it did install but when I ran it all I got was error messages. Also, if you clean your registry (as I do), for now use only Yamicsoft's registry cleaner on their new W8-specific tuneup program. Using any other will do a major hatchet job. I found this out the hard way. :(

The funny part of all this is that M$ keeps saying that anything that ran well under W7 will work under W8. The registry cleaners I can understand, but all those other programs???
Title: Re: Windows XP Support

We are talking about company specific programs, specially tailored for certain tasks, not things that you will find on the market.
A good idea would be to remake them, but considering the time and cost... it's just cheaper to just stick to XP.
Also, upgrading to 7 or 8 is not cheaper, why upgrade when everything you need to get done is done already perfectly under XP ?

So bottom line, no way I will ever see an integrated CD with XP Pro OEM or Retail right ?

Yes, it all makes perfect sense. I keep forgetting that one thing we pirates don't have to worry about is the cost of upgrading to a higher version of an OS  :) I imagine in a big company the cost of migrating to a higher version of an OS is one thing, it's quite another having to lose an infinite amount of time installing and configuring every computer, and of course training those people who aren't all that familiar with a new OS.

Did you say the Chief's XP doesn't meet your needs? If not, why not?
Title: Re: Windows XP Support
Post by: Blacky on October 19, 2012, 07:44 PM
Exactly!

You mean Maher's ? His XP is perfect, just that I need to use with a legit key and all my XP's are PRO OEM not Volume.

So I tried to convert his XP CD from Volume to OEM using this guide: http://www.mydigitallife.info/how-to-change-windows-xp-version-between-retail-oem-and-volume-license-channel/

I think I did something wrong, because now the XP CD that I created, no longer accepts any CD-key, nor Maher's nor mine.
So maybe there is something more that I need to do... but not sure what.
I thought you guys might enlighten me.

Are you using WiFi or a lan connection? Either way, the very first step is to go into Device Manager to make sure whatever device you're using is visible and working properly. If it's not then you might just be missing a driver or something. Check this first. If you find the device you're using works properly but you still can't connect, come back for more help and give us all the info you have.

Are you sure you've installed all the drivers required for your laptop.. VGA, Sound, Net ...etc ?
You have to install your PC drivers after XP installation because this XP has SATA drivers only NOT all drivers.

If you don't have your driver's DVD that came with your PC, try DriverPack Solution (http://drp.su/download.htm).
It will help you installing the missing drivers.

You're a god, Ahmad.
Thanks, so, so, so, so much.
Hopefully this works. (:

Glad to hear that, because there's one little thing that's been bothering me ever since last night.
The audio isn't working at all.
I downloaded Realtek, checked for drivers, etc., yet it still doesn't work.
Please help?
Can you do Teamviewer, or no? :s
Title: Re: Windows XP Support
Post by: Ahmad on October 22, 2012, 01:49 AM
Have you used DriverPack Solution ?
It should install Sound driver also.

Are you sure your sound card is from Realtek as there are other models like VIA . You should install the proper driver for it.
And for that, I recommend DriverPack Solution because it searches for missing drivers and installs them.

Regarding Teamviewer, I wish I could. But I never used it before.. Also I have a very bad internet (256 Kb/s) !!!

I installed windows xp a few weeks ago and everything was fine but the sound

I couldn't get the audio drivers to install. DriverPack solution doesn't work as I have the full version but it still requires me to download from internet (and website says download isn't available)

I went directly to my computer's website and downloaded the driver from there, restarted the computer, and i end up with a message saying that the driver isn't compatible.

my computer's website: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=5219351&prodTypeId=321957&prodSeriesId=5145736&swLang=13&taskId=135&swEnvOID=4062#220

I have also downloaded & installed several Realtek drivers to no avail. What should be my next plan of action?

if all fails, and for some reason you cannot get windows to function propperly on your PC at all... here is what I have doen a couple times with success.
1) keep the CD you got with the Maher versions they are good.
2) download a Linux version (the last I used was CentOS5.3 but a recent Ubuntu will do
3) install VirtualBox on it with all addon extensions you can find.
4) create a virtual machine, make sure it has a generic sound card and video card defined. and at the first activation insert the Maher CD
5) Install the Maher CD.

As a result your windows will not function inside the Virtual box, and with a generic sound and video driver.... but will function.
This method even solves issues where for some reason you cannot re-install Windows, because the boot sector is no longer "windows conform"
+
this method --- if your drives are big enough allow you to try out the other Windows versions provided by Maher without having to wipe anything, and it is cleaner than most boot choices.
If for some chance you have a CPU that allows hardware virtualisation (intel VT or AND-VT) then instead of Virtualbox use KVM.
At home on the same box I do now have 1 Windows XP pro and 1 OSx Leopard (Mac), (but that does need some more tweaks). I nice combo.

Installed OS, tried to install that drivers service pack but I could only get the internet installed. It gives me a blue screen with errors when I try to dl the rest.

Listed on my device manager are these yellow question marks...

Other Devices
          ! Network Controller
          !PCI Modem
          !Unknown device

Sound Video and Game Controllers
          !Multimedia audio controller


My audio driver is a RealTek AC97 Audio Driver Disk. I have a Panasonic Toughbook Model Number CF51ECMFBBM. Thanks

I used DPS and it gives me a blue screen and restarts. I downloaded the drivers from the site and they install and ask me to restart. When I reboot, they ask me for the CD so I have the search them and either the blue screen comes back or they ask me to put in the driver disk CD. Im so confused feels like I am running in circles.

To Whom It May Concern:

Good day!

I used to install MS Windows XP with Service Pack 3 (Volume Untouched) and using the VLK you provided from PasteBin (the VLK that already passes WGA). Yet, I experienced something wrong twice. After a month that I installed Windows, the machine will stop responding. That moment I open my computer, it will just displayed until the wallpaper of my desktop and nothing more. If microsoft did not crashed my machine then...any cause and solution for that sir?

I am using these as my security programs and utility before it was happened:
-avast! Internet Security 7 (up-to-date)...
-CCleaner and TuneUp Utilities (in latest version, before,, but now Advanced System Optimizer 3 ONLY)...
-USB Disk Security

AN so, after I just reformat it lately, I just pick download updates but ask me when to install (something like that...) I'm afraid to install those again. They are currently standby at the yellow icon near the clock...  ;D

Please help!

Thank you very much!

Hello again, comrade!  :)
Problem you explained, occures because a virus, I don't think that this was because M$ grim and dark thought.  :D (If that was because of M$, OS would show some abuse messages like "License bla-bla-bla" or "Windows Geniune bla-bla-bla". But if computer got simply and silent stuck then it isn't M$ intrigues, it looks like a virus.)

Try to change Antivirus, maybe, for payware one. Avast isn't good AV (IMHO). Try Kasperskyno, it's very slow, DrWeb, or freeware AVG.

Hello, I don't know if I'm doing this right by replying to a post when I need help myself but I can't figure out any other way of doing it.
I downloaded your Windows XP Professional SP3 Integrated October 2012 ISO image from Piratebay and I run it from Daemon. I choose a new installation and insert the key. After a while it tells me to:
"Insert the CD labeled: Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 CD into your CD-Rom drive. Press enter when ready"
I hit enter but nothing happens. I burned the image and booted from a CD instead with the same result. Bottom line is that I can't install. I'm currently running XP Pro SP3 version 2002 but I wanted a better version which I think yours is.
What do I do?
Thank you much.
Title: Re: Windows XP Support
Post by: Ahmad on November 21, 2012, 07:58 PM
Hello Liz. :)

It should give you that message when installing Windows from Daemon, as installing Windows needs reboot and after rebooting, setup continues but it needs the CD to be inserted which in your case NOT because Daemon is not active now.

The strange thing is that it gave you the same message with a real CD.  ??? ???

Make sure to follow these:
* Check if you have burned the XP ISO file as image NOT Data.
* Do a clean install from boot.
* If your BIOS is set to AHCI, change it to IDE.

If the same thing happens, please report with more details so that others who know better may help you.  :)

Hello asdoll. :)

Maher doesn't include WMP11 nor Frameworks in his releases. He just includes IE8 & SATA drivers.
For the reason, I have no idea. May be because not everyone needs frameworks like me & I never saw anyone of my friends [for example] using WMP11.

I'm assuming you used a clean disk when you attempted the burn, right? If you used a CD-RW, did you do a full erase first?

You might want to take a good look at BurnAware Pro as your CD/DVD burning software. It's simple, straight forward and gets the job done. It also allows for all kinds of different burning scenarios as opposed to PowerIso which, unless I'm mistaken, burns only ISO's and not individual files (someone correct me if I'm wrong). BurnAware is available on almost all the torrent sites.

@Infernal:

Try using any other software for burning like Nero or Burnaware ...etc.

This is a guide to burn ISO image with Nero:
* Open Nero Burning ROM.
* Close the New Compilation window which shows up automatically.
* From the File menu, click Open.
* Browse for the Windows ISO image (The ISO file you've downloaded).
* Choose the type of media you're using CD or DVD.
* Finally burn.

Have you chosen to burn IMAGE [NOT DATA] ?

Look at this picture of BurnAware .. You should choose the option "Burn Image" and then, browse for the ISO file you have downloaded ..

@ infernal...just from my personal experience...having done everything as you said you done it right...i think if i were you...i would re-download the file again and burn it with the slowest possible speed using imgburn burner or any other burners of your choice.

but do a clean install and hopefully all will be good. :)

Unfortunately, the file you downloaded might be a corrupted and it does happen sometime. :(

Hey Ahmad - what screen capture program did you use to get that image? Or is it highlighting the image and using Ctrl-PrintScreen or something?
Title: Re: Windows XP Support

Hey humbert. :)
I didn't capture anything. I found it on the BurnAware site and just put its link in my post using this code:

@ Deele:
Welcome to the forum. :)

Yes, it's modified but for the better.
This is what Maher says on his releases and what does he modify in them:

QuoteWindows XP Professional SP3 (x86) Integrated November 2012-Maherz

Download (http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/7844892/Windows_XP_Professional_SP3_%28x86%29_Integrated_November_2012-Maher)

This is the original Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP3 (32-bit) ISO (Volume License) including Microsoft updates until 14.11.2012, Internet Explorer 8, Adobe Flash Player 11.5 and SATA drivers.

- This release is the best you could find on the net, because it's just simple:

* NO tweaks or add-ons.
* NO additional programs and software added.
* NO graphics, scripts and wallpapers added or changed.
* NO serial needed during installation, the key is already inserted.
* It's the original image from Microsoft except added updates, IE8, Adobe Flash Player (11.5.502.110) and SATA drivers!
* Windows Messenger, MSN Explorer and Internet Explorer 6 were removed.

So, since he removed what is written in RED, then it's normal to find missing files because they are of no need.

It's not corrupted .. It's the same as the original except for those differences.
But if you want the original untouched image from Microsoft [Without updates nor SATA drivers] or if BartPE requires that, download the torrent file from attachments .. and for the serial:

Hi,

Is it possible to include all the necessary SATA/PATA drivers so I could install latest version (November 2012) on Dell Mini 10? Mini 10 doesn't have CD nor Floppy so I can't install additional storage driver during installation, and after initial startup the installation program freezes just before going to the screen where you can setup the disk partition - I guess it can't connect to the drive so it freezes. The only version of WinXP I've found working with Mini10 is OEM DELL - this one has all the drivers, however once I install it I need to spend some time to load all the updates since Feb 2009.

Otherwise, great work!

Of course you can still use it. No problem at all.
SATA drivers are there to be used when there is SATA cables.
If they do not exist nothing will happen and Windows will install normally ;)

First of all, you need to install a Torrent client to be able to download the file.
This is a good one .. uTorrent (http://www.filehippo.com/download_utorrent/download/cafd4672b3292681db464f8fc3e00946/).

Install it first, after that go to Windows Download Page (http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/7844892/Windows_XP_Professional_SP3_(x86)_Integrated_November_2012-Maher) and click "Get This Torrent" .. Now, choose uTorrent to deal with this type of downloading.

in uTorrent interface, specify where to download and then OK.

Wait until it finishes downloading completely, and leave it seeding for a while.

After that, you'll have an ISO file >>> To burn it, follow this tutorial (http://www.nomaher.com/forum/index.php?topic=684.msg5055#msg5055).

Don't apology,bro.
At your service anytime.  :)

Hello David. :)

The best way I know is to use a rescue disk of an AntiVirus like Kaspersky.
Go here (http://support.kaspersky.com/4162) and you'll be able to download this rescue disk ISO file (http://rescuedisk.kaspersky-labs.com/rescuedisk/updatable/kav_rescue_10.iso) and articles about how to burn it normally on CD/DVD (https://support.kaspersky.com/4471) or USB (https://support.kaspersky.com/4154).

Good luck.  ;)

Kaspersky Rescue Disk It should be used when it is impossible to boot the operating system. And it is not my case.

I just need the instruction to format C: kill everything and install a fresh copy and start from 0 without any "aliens"

hi everyone
i have a problem. because my dvd rom did not work i had to repair my xp with iso.but the setup won't continue saying that there's a missing file.

C:\WINDOWS\system32\presetup.cmd - FILE NOT FOUND!
C:\WINDOWS\system32\setupORG.exe - FILE NOT FOUND!
(setupORG.exe - > Original windows Setup.exe)

POSSIBLE CAUSE:
1. "Presetup.cmd" not exist in the i386 folder on UXPCD
    "setupORG.exe" not exist in the i386 folder on UXPCD

2. Check your "Txtsetup.sif" in the i386 folder on UXPCD
---Txtsetup.sif: -------------------------------------
[SourceDisksFiles]
setupORG.exe = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0; must exist
presetup.cmd = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0; must exist
--------------------------------------------------------

SETUP ABORT

What I don't understand is how any personal data is in any way related to a previous version of XP? I'm assuming that by "personal data" you mean things like documents, pics, videos, songs etc. If the previous version of XP is installed anywhere, it's a simple matter of copying the files. Or did you mean something else?

Try DriverPack Solution (http://drp.su/download.htm) .. It's the most famous drive packs on the net. It has in its database nearly all drivers for any type.

Mini 10 doesn't have CD nor Floppy so I can't install additional storage driver during installation, and after initial startup the installation program freezes just before going to the screen where you can setup the disk partition - I guess it can't connect to the drive so it freezes.

You can use win2flash to make a USB installation.

Lack of physical CD is not a problem - I do have an external DVD drive and install it from there. However, the problem is that the SATA/PATA controller in DELL Mini 10 is not detected and while the install program is able to load all the drivers into the memory it fails to go to the next step which is creating the partition - it is not able to "see" the hard-drive. When I use the CD with the DELL version of Windows XP then everything is fine. It just seems like your version is missing some driver that the Mini 10 needs to continue the installation process.

Hope it helps in understanding my problem

Hi, can I ask a question ?

When I install Windows XP, it says need to restart, but the black screen come out after restart. The Mice also not respond ( does not have light). Why the black screen will come out ? How to solve it ?

1) The DVD does not have  problem...

2) I used Windows 8 before...

3) No problem when I install Windows 7or 8...

4) To install Windows XP, need to set bios? How? Does it difference with windows 7 or 8? (BIOS CMOS Utility - Copyright (c) 1985 - 2005, American  Megatrends, Inc.)

5) When I format the partition, I see a system reserved (100MB) 's partition, it need be formatted?

I am sorry about my bad english...

I Burned XP onto a disc at the lowest speed.
When I try and install XP onto my IDE HDD it installs fine.
When I try and boot the HDD an Error that says DISK BOOT FAILURE INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER
I redownloaded it and reinstalled it loads of time and nothing new happens.

When you finished the installation, did you go into your BIOS and set drive C to be your first boot drive? I'm asking because it appears the motherboard is trying to boot from a drive with no OS on it.

My friend have a problem regarding on Windows XP Professional SP3 (Volume Untouched) installation. Since it is untouched, it does not contained any SATA driver yet, right? So, the HDD could not be detected. But is there any way? Like doin somethin on the BIOS or to whatsoever? Just to install the OS anyway.Thanks!

If indeed learning is a continuous process are your signature says (and I strongly agree), then what are you even doing running XP on a computer that uses SATA for its hard drives? It's not that XP is bad, it old! SATA simply did not exist when XP came out back in 2001. As I see it, you should be running at least Windows 8 32bit.

Is it that your situation is similar to that of a guy who was on the forum once? He was running an old piece of musical hardware whose manufacturer went bankrupt, and accordingly the only thing available were XP drivers. If you have a similar situation, then it makes sense.

Is there no process of learning at all in using XP? I dont believe.
And so what for if I did? I am much prefer in this though there are latest versions of Windows releases out there. I say this for the reason, I am PROUD to be XP user.

Yet, the scenario I have posted was my friend's experienced. But for me, I can install it smoothly.  ;D

I just asked it, because computer-matter is not really my line. I am a future civil engineer, but still I have passion bout the said matter but not to the extent that one would expect me as a professional.

Anyways, thanks for your wonderful response sir!  ;D
Title: Re: Windows XP Support

Sir? Since when are we so formal around here?

In even the most elementary OS you get your hands on there is a learning curve. Also, I used to love XP and still do, the problem is the fact that it's been supplanted by something much better. Exactly the same thing goes for Windows 7.

As a future Civil Engineer and a scientist, your life will forever be connected to computers. You are not doing yourself a favor by sticking to 12 year old technology. Add to this that, as I explained before, there will be no more support after 2014 and future applications will not work with it, not to even mention the fact that, without further updates, no holes that attackers find will ever be patched. This is precisely what happens with the majority of updates -- in all OS'es, not just XP.

All I'm giving you is a piece of advice.

Hi everyone,
    I have a very dumb and stupid question. I've been using Windows 7 Ultimate SP1, and I also installed it on my parent's PC. Unfortunately, my mother hated Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 because it was very slow and IE9 was always crashing for her because she is impatient when it comes to waiting for the computer. I don't blame her! My parents have a Pentium 3 @ 1GHz with 512Mb of memory, and they are using their old Gateway monitor with it along with the keyboard and mouse.

So, I came back to Maher's Digital World to see if he had the latest version of Windows XP SP3 available, so I downloaded it last night, I started to install it after dinner, and when I was finished, XP was completely installed (I did a fresh install). The odd part was that it didn't ask for a Product code or to be activated. Now my question is, is it okay to put ON Automatic updates, and will MS see XP as activated and Genuine? I'm guessing that the answer will be YES, but I don't want to take any chances with my parent's computer, they are in their seventies and do not like the computer, but my mother uses it for her online banking every week, and my father attempts to use it on facebook and have bragging rights when he goes to the gym every week (He has to get out and socialize or he'll drive my mother crazy. :) ).

I thank you in advance, and I would appreciate all feedback.    8)

Hello :)

As you guessed.. YES.. The key is already entered during Fresh install, and now the windows is genuine and can run automatic updates without any problems.

But I noticed something strange..
Installing Windows 7 to a PC with the specifications you mentioned is completely unfair.. i.e. You're just hurting it when installing 7  ;D
The best thing is that you came back to XP for this PC.
Windows 7 32-bits needs at least 1GB RAM.
My PC is Pentium 4 with 768MB RAM and 2.6GHz CPU and still can't run 7 well.. It's very slow because it needs more RAM.

Nice to have you here with us.  :D
Good luck. :)

Hello :)

This problem was discussed many times before and it may result from any cause..
For example my PC can't install XP from USB and it gives me some error like that.
But I see that you have a new PC, so it can do it.

Try these steps:
- Enter your BIOS and if the option regarding drivers is set to AHCI.. Change it to IDE.
- Make sure that you have downloaded the ISO file completely.
- Use WinToFlash (http://wintoflash.com/download/en/) to prepare the USB flash drive for installing XP.

I hope this helps.
Good luck. ;)

Thanks, but I disagree.
Many people I know don't even now about the existence of other media players else besides WMP.
Anyway, is that a big work for Maher to do?
I uses this version of WMP a lot and updating WMP to 11 everytime is kinda pain in the neck.
If you'll think of it, this version won't be 100% updated if WMP 11 is not installed ;)

@ Maher
If it'd be possible, I'd be glad to have another version of your Windows XP with WMP11 included.

Thanks again.
Title: Re: Windows XP Support
Post by: humbert on January 04, 2013, 09:28 PM
The simple fact that many people only know of Windows Media Player is no reason to keep it there forever. There are tons of players out there that are far better than WMP, at least in my opinion. Not only that, but if configured as default, all the person has to do is simply double-click on the file.

The only reason I haven't deleted WMP off my system is because there are other players and add-ons that need its engine to work.

Hello Maher and others here as well,

I want ask you how i can change automatically added Product key of the Windows XP SP3 Professional from December 2012,
if own original product key for the same type of Windows.
I reinstalled my previous installation of Win XP Pro 32-bit, by your version. My previously installed - legal copy of win XP Pro had gone mad and had some errors by shut down process of the system.

All updates to your version of XP Pro were successful except those for MS Visual C++ 2005, 2008 and 2010 and DotNetFX 3.5SP1 and 4.
I want also to ask you if it possible update normally through Windows update in control panel.
Because i want use my installed Win XP Pro legally, and normally as before.

I am asking of a little help, because i want to replace the current product key by my previous one (legal) i have used on previous Win XP Pro installation. Tell me the steps how to do that and to be able to apply all of system components updates same as the system updates.
Every help is welcome. I just need to know what to do to use my original product key and update Windows normally through Windows update.

Thanx in advance, Vlad
Title: Re: Windows XP Support
Post by: Ahmad on January 07, 2013, 04:35 PM
Hello :)

To know where is the serial in Maher's ISO file, follow this:
In the ISO file, in I386 folder >> There is a file called WINNT.SIF
Open this file with Notepad >> You'll find this :
ProductKey="... You'll find the serial here ..."
This file "WINNT.SIF" is called answer file, So when you are installing windows from boot "Fresh Install", You'll need no activation.

Or after installing Maher's Windows or any Windows, you can read and change the serial using the tool attached.

Maher's release doesn't contain .NET frameworks.. You can install them later and update without problems.

P.S. The serial included by Maher is original and you'll pass any test and update any component without troubles. But if you want to add your own serial to Maher's release, it's OK as long as your serial is for the PRO VL [Professional Volume License] version. If your key is for Retail version, it won't work.
Title: Re: Windows XP Support
Post by: Vlad3490 on January 07, 2013, 11:02 PM
OK, thank you very much.

Now, im little surprised and curious from your answer, though it is helpful, im not sure if i should change it to my key- legal i had previously installed on Win XP Pro.
But please tell me what is the difference between the retail version of Windows XP, and that Professional Volume License.
Because mine previous key is maybe not retail one,  which was added to a PC - Pentium Celeron M (Mobile) rated 1.4 GHz CPU based Business High-end model IBM Thinkpad R40 from 2003 (that PC is now dead) with at that time superb big 64MB RAM and 32MB VGA Radeon 7500 series. I was using its key on my machine wihout a problem since 2007 up to these days.
But because something broke up in windows registry, or on HDD i need to reinstall the OS by Maher's version of Win XP Pro SP3 from Dec.2012, because i wanted to omit the endless updating from SP2 from 2005 to current state nad  to be faster again "at work".

Maybe my version of OS is retail maybe that VL. But can you recommend me how i can now if that license is Professional volume license.  P.S.- On tha tlicense it is written that it is Corporate IBM license and this info is near the product key line. So is that a Professional Volume license or not?

If i can ask you or someone else another question, does i need install all versions of .NET Framework in order from 2.0, through 3.5 up to 4 (which is last recommended one for XP), or
as i've red i just need install only the 4th version, because it has backward compatibility and apps using 2 or 3.5 will run under it?

Thanx in advance, Vlad
Title: Re: Windows XP Support
Post by: Ahmad on January 08, 2013, 12:04 AM
You're welcome :)

What I know about VL & Retail is..
- VL Windows [Like Maher's] is a copy of Windows which you can install on many machines with a single VL key [Like the key provided in Maher's Windows]....i.e. VL key can activate any machine running VL Windows.
- Retail key [I think] can only activate certain number of machines, after that Microsoft blocks it.
- Some machines come with its own key which activates only that machine and can't activate any others.. Perhaps this is what called OEM key.

To know the type of your Windows and key.. It's simple because Retail key can't activate VL Windows.. Open the tool I've attached before and read the local key installed in your Windows. After that change that key and replace it with the VL key provided by Maher (http://pastebin.com/ymDs4wR8).. After that read the local key again to see if it was successfully changed.. If the key was changed, then your Windows is VL... If not changed, then your Windows is not VL and also the key.

I want to ask you if it's necessary for you to use your own key.. If you don't have to, use Maher's Windows as it is and you'll never complain problems about updating.

Regarding Frameworks.. What I'm sure about is that version 3.5 has all the previous versions, but I'm not sure that version 4 can be enough without 3.5.
This is what Microsoft says in the Overview (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17851) of version 4:
QuoteThe .NET Framework 4 works side by side with older Framework versions. Applications that are based on earlier versions of the Framework will continue to run on the version targeted by default.

May others tell you about that.

Good luck, Vlad :D



UPDATE:

I've tried that for you..
I use a program which needs .NET Framework 2.0.. I've uninstalled .NET Framework v2.0 and installed v4.0 -->  The program didn't work after that and gave me error. [Look at the image attached].

So, .NET Framework v4.0 isn't for applications that need previous versions, and the sentence of Microsoft means that it can be installed beside the previous versions without problems but can't do their work. They work together.

So, install v4.0 only if you have applications need it.. If you don't need it, don't install it.

What i want to know is,  what are some important things that i should back up? i'm not talking about mp3's,movies or w/e.

I'm just a little nervous that if i format, i' wont be able to connect to the internet or i wont be able to do things that i normally do.

So what are somethings that i should backup or download before formatting.

Hi. i'm looking to formatting  my drive. I've downloaded Maher's Windows XP SP3 Professional ( December ) and Hiren's BootCD for insurance, though I've never used it before.  both Iso's burnt to dvd's.

What i want to know is,  what are some important things that i should back up? i'm not talking about mp3's,movies or w/e.

I'm just a little nervous that if i format, i' wont be able to connect to the internet or i wont be able to do things that i normally do.

So what are somethings that i should backup or download before formatting.

thanks  :)

Hello :)

You know that after formatting, every thing you had on C: drive will be lost like programs installed, pictures, documents, what in Downloads folder and everything.. So, backup important files from those.

Or, if you want to backup the whole C: drive with the whole Windows to an image [You can restore this image to C: drive when need], you can use any backup tool like Norton Ghost or others. This tutorial (http://www.nomaher.com/forum/index.php?topic=611.0) shows you how to backup and restore using Norton Ghost.

Finally, after installing Maher's Windows, you'll need drivers for your PC like Sound, VGA, and NET drivers because Maher's release contains only SATA drivers.

So, if you have the CD or DVD for your PC drivers, you're OK.

If you don't have drivers for your PC, download them from their official site before installing Windows because you'll need them later.

Or, if you can't specify what drivers to download, there are many driver packs which can install drivers for any PC because of their large drivers database.. One of the best driver packs is DriverPack Solution (http://drp.su/download.htm).. Download it before installing Windows.

Good luck.  ;)

thanks for the advise. i'll definitely be downloding DriverPack Solution.

Do you think it's a good idea to format  or install  Maher Xp  over my currrent XP, just to see if my burnt ISO works correctly?

thanks :-*

If you burnt the ISO file correctly as IMAGE not DATA, then it'll work.. Try booting from the Hiren's BootCD.. If it boots well, then the other DVD of Windows will boot well since you burnt them with the same way.
This tutorial (http://www.nomaher.com/forum/index.php?topic=684.0) shows you the right way to burn ISO image, if you need it.

For me, I don't like the upgrade installation.. I always do a fresh one. But it's your choice.
Good luck.  :D

I've used WinToFlash, Rufus and many other tools..
All ended with the same result during installation :: BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death).
But this happened with me because of my old motherboard. Both tools succeeded with newer motherboards.

Is that the case with your motherboard (Old) ?
Or what type of problems that happened during installation?

And how much RAM do you have?

Title: Re: Windows XP: Download & Support
Post by: child on January 16, 2013, 02:44 PM
If you got BSOD you may use customize NTDETECT.COM or kicker images

I had made a 8GB USB which I use different methods for installations (Total seven windows XP) like WinsetupfromUSB old method, WinsetupfromUSB new method, Installation from ISO image from RAM,
Installation direct from ISO image from USB (for low RAM)

I also had 1-TB USB Hard disk which I have many windows (like XP, Vista, Seven, 2008, ERD5 to 6.5), recovery Tools and many many utilities

YES.. It has a genuine serial.
If you try to update with a non-genuine copy.. Nothing will happen to you.. After validation at Microsoft's site, simply, Microsoft will tell you that the serial you have is not genuine.. That's it.

Have you tried another time?

This happened with me before because of my DVD itself.. The first time after loading files and during setup, it said to me that some file is missing.. So, I cleaned the CD carefully and tried again from the beginning and it worked.

Since the same CD worked with another PC, then the cause may be in the combination of the CD and the lens of DVD.. They may need cleaning.
But I didn't opened the DVD to clean the lens till now.. I just clean the CD and if not working, I burn another NEW CD and it worked.

Yes, bro.
This XP SP3 release is the original untouched without any updates nor drivers nor any modifications. And it is Volume License (VL) Not Retail nor OEM.

To be sure it's the original untouched from Microsoft.. After downloading, check the hash of the ISO file.. It should be like this:
SHA1: 66ac289ae27724c5ae17139227cbe78c01eefe40
as announced by Microsoft here (http://technet.microsoft.com/subscriptions/downloads#FileId=15561)... [Click Details]

And the serial provided in the previous post is genuine VL.

Regarding Windows 7, I don't know about Windows 7.. Sorry.  :)

Hey guys, just checking that if i DL this from Pirate Bay that this is okay to Run on a new system ( by that i mean new Mobo with no OS on there)

Assuming this is the full version, as stated then there shouldn't be an issue?

Tried it myself on the new build with an SP1 pirated disk and i keep getting the Blue Screen error 'IRQL not less or equal', have read on various forums that a fresh start with SP2 or 3 will work fine.

So as stated, i assume this is bootable and will work on a system with no OS?

Yes, bro.
Download the ISO file then burn it on a CD or DVD as image file not data, and then boot from your DVD.
This tutorial (http://www.nomaher.com/forum/index.php?topic=684.0) shows how to burn as image not data.

But since it's a new motherboard, why installing XP ?!
I assume that your new PC will run Windows 7 or 8 very well.
Good luck. ;)

For drivers, you can download DriverPack Solution (http://drp.su/download.htm).. It has a large drivers database for any components in any PC.

Anytime, bro. :)
But this is the only important thing because Maher's release includes only SATA drivers NOT all drivers for your PC, so you'll need drivers for NET, Sound, VGA and all other components in your PC.. DPS is a huge DVD containing almost every driver exists.

Alternative way.. If you know the exact model and version of your PC components like VGA for example, you can go to its website and download drivers for it.. This will save you time and you won't have to download all this huge DVD for just a few drivers. But this only if you know.

Good luck.  :)

I checked a previous release of Maher's (Oct 2011), it had this file in i386 folder.
I checked the original untouched ISO file from Microsoft, it doesn't have this file.
I don't know whether the latest release of Maher's contains this file or not.

Anyway, if your PC needs this file to complete installation and if it doesn't exist in i386 folder in the ISO file, follow this.. [I have attached that file for you]

- Open the ISO file with UltraISO, PowerISO or any program dealing with ISO files.
- Open i386 folder.
- drag that file "raidsrc.sys" and paste it in i386 folder.
- Save the ISO file and then, burn it.

Not sure if i should post here or a separate thread. Installed the january one more than a week ago. Anyway i tried to install East Asian Languages, after inserting the CD it asked me for cplexe.exe. Am i the only one getting this for those who installed the east asian languages? Thinking it might be this cd, i i tried my old vlk xp sp1 cd but i get the same thing asking for cplexe.exe. I have no problems installing the languages in my old xp if that matters. So what should i do? Tnx :)

EDIT: Ok it worked. I only extracted the cplexe.ex_ file from the SP3 pack and used Maher's xp cd when it asked for the other files. Though i noticed after i tried selecting the cplexe.ex_ but cancelled the rest of the installation, a cplexe.exe appeared in my C:\WINDOWS\ime\imjp8_1\. I actually can't remember if i had that ime folder before lol. Dunno if thats the same thing it was asking for before though :-\ Just used the ex_ to be safe ;D

@ ecchi :)

The file you mentioned "CPLEXE.EX_" already exists in the XP CD in the folder "i386\LANG"..
You only need to browse for it when asking.

Really, I didn't try installing East Asian Languages before.. But I assume when it asks you for the file "CPLEXE.EX_", browse for it inside the XP CD >> i386 >> LANG ..
Then, It should work without any problems.

Good day.. i just want to ask if i should install all the updates in the WINDOWS UPDATE? because there's still tons of update when i check it after installing windows xp sp3 integrated January 2013? like update for microsoft netframework blah blah blah and many more.. can someone please teach me how to reformat my computer properly.. i mean after a clean install of mahers xp sp3 integrated jan. 2013..  whats next? install all critical updates? because i find it a bit laggy after installing all updates.. its a must or not?

thx & Godbless!

That is because Maher doesn't integrate .NET frameworks in his XP releases, and their updates as a result.
So, if you install .NET frameworks, you can use Windows update to install updates for them and don't worry about Genuine test.. It'll pass because the serial is genuine.

Hello, I have found this torrent (http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/8108714/Windows_XP_Professional_SP3_Integr_January_2013) that looked like it contains the 2013 january release from here (the description suspiciously looks too much like this one (http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/7844892/Windows_XP_Professional_SP3_(x86)_Integrated_November_2012-Maher) by Maherz from nov 2012).

But the md5 of the ISO of the jan/2013 torrent is 8bb4f654cd13a9bceb1a87318f0bce2f, while the md5 stated on this topic for jan/2013 is EB33EC03506FE4E679F5E53954A532CE.

Is that fake/suspicious? Or just an odd coincidence?

Well since I prefer to install from reputable sources I decided to download from Uploaded anyway.

@htf - about as close to a "reputable source" in the piracy business is Maher. Other than that there's no such thing. If you're looking for something that Maher doesn't have, then you've got to try your luck and look for it elsewhere, and then test it.

Don't worry about the hash not being a perfect match if indeed it came from Maher. Keep in mind that even one byte of difference will throw off the has value. Also, even if you download the November release, not a problem - 2-3 months of updates can be gotten pretty fast.
Title: Re: Windows XP: Download & Support
Post by: htf on February 12, 2013, 05:09 AM
My concern is that someone is piggybacking on Maher's efforts to create a release that is mostly like his, but with an added virus (but why someone would do this is beyond me). Of course such release would be almost identical short of some key files, and even a bit of difference makes a completely different md5 (which is the point of md5 in the first place)

There is also the possibility that it's a legimitate modification of Maher's release (but a deceptive one anyway) or just a completely different release that happened to reuse his description (again deceptive). It can't be the same release though.

Anyway, thanks for the quick reply :) I will probably compare the the diff between the two to see which files were modified, just for curiosity. And indeed, downloading the nov/2012 isn't that bad.

(btw: now I realize that the torrent contains the url of a forum - that I won't link - that is mostly like Maher's and with similar releases, but without any user posts. Someone is his fan perhaps)
Title: Re: Windows XP: Download & Support
Post by: Ahmad on February 12, 2013, 08:02 AM
@ htf :)

May be this guy downloaded Maher's Jan 2013 release and modified a file in it or added other files or links to his site, and for that, the hash value is different.
Title: Re: Windows XP: Download & Support
Post by: humbert on February 12, 2013, 08:43 PM
Ahmad is right. Keep in mind even changing a period to a comma in a text file will modify the hash. Just go ahead and test it. If I were you I'd make a full backup of what you have now, then proceed with the installation. In the highly improbably event there's some sort of nasty malware, simply do a full wipe and restore and try again with another copy.

I know a program containing other language packs..
This is the program interface:



You can switch between languages with one click without restarting your computer.

You can download it from this link:   [Torrent]
http://bitsnoop.com/language-packs-for-windows-xp-sp3-q10075961.html

Or pick any site from these ones:   [Torrent]

I've started a new topic as I found it's needed.

I disagree. With a torrent we can all share and get the stuff pretty fast because there will be a lot of seeders and peers. With the destestable download sites everything is a problem. As I said before, what bothers me most of all is that they're trying to make you pay. The real pirates of these world are the lame bastards who charge money off somebody else's work as opposed to simply sharing with others. If it were possible I'd launch all kinds of cyberattacks against the rapidshares and all the others.

Lately I have had some strange happenings.

Outlook starts without prompt, calculator starts without prompt, start menu
pops up occasionaly and the task bar keeps disapearing even though lock is
enabled.
Even program files like moto gp and others have attempted to start. All
these things happen at ramdom without any prompting ***?
I am using Winxp all up to date. Is this some sort of conflict or
could this be a virus or some sort of trojan? I have NORTON installed
and up to date and has not found a thing. Fire wall is on.
So what the hell could be causing this???

both pc cillin and norton...disable one of them.
also check for spyware and in the end if it doesnt work reinstall everything. If you are not experienced a virus can be hard to delete. I havent formatted for 3 years, and only had 1 virus a few months ago, but my current antivirus which is mcafee antivirus didnt find it. With weird behavior I had checked with kasperky which found it but was unable to delete it. It was possible to delete it but it was reinstalling immediately. So I cleaned myself the registry and delete it. If you dont have a lot of data, go for a format.

I'm not sure, but I think you're using Windows 7 or Vista.
Because XP is earlier than them, you can't install XP over them.

Burn the XP ISO file on a CD as image NOT Data.

im doing an multiboot usb with G4D support for booting from usb and i have used your last march release of windows xp ( Integrated.March.2013-Maherz.iso )

ive had alot of problems when converting this copy from bootable cd to booting from usb anyway i have fix all these problems

now im still have a problem in language in 2nd setup ( GUI ) that is i cant select language to install or other languages !!!
i have done some changes to winnt.sif but it looks like the changes are mandatory to that file :(  and i have see that there's 2 copies of winnt.sif and WINNT.SIF
for example in winnt.sif there's a line "Autopartition=0" <-- if you boot from cd it will work but booting from usb didnt work in other words it dont ask for where you want to install windows and you get error about "windows cannot creat folder \windows"
but i have managed to fix these problems

i need a favor from you now i want your LAST NLITE SESSION so i can load it and make configuration
btw u must delete the line msvbvm50.dll = 100,,,,,,,2,0,0 from textsetup.sif

Hi, I have been busy most of the day but finality had a chance to get back here.

If your existing Ram is DDR PC2700 or PC3200 then your motherboard is most likely an Intel D101GGC with ATI RC410 IGP chipset.

If it is DDR2 then most likely an Intel D102GGC2 with ATI Radeon XPRESS 200 chipset

In either case you will need to use 2x1GB modules not 1x2GB

If you go to the Crucial website and use their System Scanner tool that should confirm my guess or give you the right information and the exact specs for new module/s

http://www.crucial.com/store/drammemory.aspx (http://www.crucial.com/store/drammemory.aspx)

Some other suppliers have similar tools and I'm not suggesting you buy their products, just get the info from there

If I am right about your motherboard being a D102GGC2 or a D101GGC then the most likely result of fitting a 2GB RAM module is that your PC will not boot. (It won't "see" any RAM)
Not a real problem because you can take it back out (the RAM). So test it if you like.  ;D

Go to the Crucial site and use their System Scanner to confirm your MOBO
I cannot be more precise without that info.

You may need the serial if you're doing an upgrade or installing through a virtual machine, but you won't need it if you're doing a fresh installation from boot.

To modify the "Registered to" values, from this key in the registry..
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
Look for values: "RegisteredOwner" & "RegisteredOrganization".

To modify the "Manufactured and supported by", from this file..
C:\WINDOWS\system32\oeminfo.ini

First of all, i would like to say that your work is great.

I just tried first time your updated windows xp and it is awesome.
very clean, really updated.

I would like to ask you a question regarding windows xp home edition.
Is there a version of updated windows xp home edition that you have done?

If not, if you're working only with windows XP Professional, i would like to ask, is there a chance to install windows xp professional, and after installation to change a key to home edition key(as i have a sister's laptop which has been bought with windows xp home, so i have a valid key) with some of the key changing softwares available online?
Is it going to accept the key and disable features that are not covered with Home edition, or its going to be unpossible to change it?

Thanks in advance,
Keep up a good work

Windows Messenger, MSN Explorer and Internet Explorer 6 were removed.

* NO tweaks or add-ons.
* NO additional programs and software added.
* NO graphics, scripts and wallpapers added or changed.
* NO serial needed during fresh installation, the key is already inserted.

Maher uploads a new version just after Microsoft releases updates .. Nearly in the middle of the month.

Regarding April release, sorry, there will be NO April release due to extreme business.
You can download March release from any of these links here (http://www.nomaher.com/forum/index.php?topic=133.msg834#msg834).

You can also find Maher's torrents on this page:

If you're doing a fresh installation, you won't need activation because the serial is entered automatically, but you may need the serial if you're doing an upgrade or using a virtual machine.

Maher doesn't modify any files of the Windows. The signature is some value in the registry which you can modify it or leave it empty.

To modify the "Registered to" values, from this key in the registry..
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
Look for values: "RegisteredOwner" & "RegisteredOrganization".

To modify the "Manufactured and supported by", from this file..
C:\WINDOWS\system32\oeminfo.ini

The signature thing sucks which kills the idea of Original XP + Updates. No, I know how to remove it with the tool you've provided. But I ain't gonna write this ISO to CD like i've used to with your earlier releases.
BIE doesn't release anymore.
Mahers added signature crap.
I guess i should make one myself for personal use >_>.

If you don't like Maher's signature, then DOWNLOAD SOMEONE ELSE'S RELEASE! You'll find tons of them on the torrents. Given the fact that Maher takes his time to prepare his releases and be sure they work well with no economic benefit for himself, the least he can do is mark it so if there's a problem everyone will know it came from him.

Have you even donated anything to the forum?

I have problem with my old laptop.

Its hp compaq 6720s, recently I had problems with Ukash virus. Tried to fight it by all means found on web, but couldn't, so I decided to format C: and reinstall windows XP.

I couldnt copy from USB, so I decided to do it with and setuCD.

Everything went perfectly normal, I decided to choose repair option during setup, but in the meantime something went wrong and installer told me he could not copy two files (presetup.cmd  and setupORG.exe).
Still, the installation continued.

After it finished, installer had to restart to finish.

But this time I problem occured. Right after "Setup is restarting..." message an error popped up:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\presetup.cmd - FILE NOT FOUND!
C:\WINDOWS\system32\setupORG.exe - FILE NOT FOUND!
(setupORG.exe - > Original windows Setup.exe)

POSSIBLE CAUSE:
1. "Presetup.cmd" not exist in the i386 folder on UXPCD
    "setupORG.exe" not exist in the i386 folder on UXPCD

2. Check your "Txtsetup.sif" in the i386 folder on UXPCD
---Txtsetup.sif: -------------------------------------
[SourceDisksFiles]
setupORG.exe = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0; must exist
presetup.cmd = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0; must exist
--------------------------------------------------------

SETUP ABORT


All I can do is click setup abort and then laptop simply restarts and comes to "setup is restarting..." message and error.

Constant restart loop.
I cannot even access anything on my PC, even some basic tools to help me solve this problem (i am writing from my friends laptop right now).

Tired changing options in BIOS, burned new CD, however I am out of ideas!
Tried searching stuff on web but no one had similar problem.


any idea what to do? please help me!

I work in this as daily basis. So is better to do from point 0.
1) download the current release of maher xp
2) burn the media - use the software you prefer (nero, ultraiso, poweriso,etc) - In xp don´t try to use pendrive - it´s a waste of your time and money
in case of your use a netbook use an external usb dvd - ask your friends or buy one (it´s cheap)
3) backup your data in another media - this is very important - when i mean another media is another and not another partition in the same drive
(again - use your choice of software - acronis, norton ghost, etc) - I know a lot of people who lost tons of photos in a trip just because that.
4) install xp from point 0, drivers, softwares, updates, antivirus, etc.
in xp don´t install kb951847, .net 3.5, 4.0 or 4.5 becausse this is not update; its un upgrade and is going to slow your machine
if you need install .net 1.1 and 2.0.
5) install ccleaner and download glary utlities portable and scan your system.
6) transport your data and put in the right folders

I know it´s a lot of things to to but you are going to get a machine free of problems, it´s like a new shirt compared to an old one (with some holes on it).

ps - don´t try to use recovery cds from the manufacturer - its a waste of time

Post by: rodtsuka on May 27, 2013, 02:03 PM
first of all - why you decided to format - errors during windows sessions, freezing computer ? this maybe a memory problem or hd problem.
download and burn some emergency boot cds (hiren´s, ubcd, system rescue) and test the hardware before installing anything. Maybe you
have a problem with hd, memory or even motherboard.

are you installing from a pendrive ? Don´t try to install xp from a pendrive, burn a cd or dvd and use phisical media, i always
had errors when trying to install xp from pendrive (xp doesn´t have drivers for sata or usb pendrives in installation mode).
If your machine doesn´t have a cd/dvd reader buy an usb external one, it´s cheap and worth a lot.

Problem after install of Maher XP Pro (May 2013) - BSOD 0x7b after restart

Hardware
MSI Z77 MPower LGS1155 (Intel chipset), i5 3.3 Ghz processer.
2 80GB WD SATA mirrored hard drives (via RAID 1 in BIOS). These are old (2006) identical drives for 'testing'.
8GB DDR3 1600 Mhz RAM

RAID via BIOS sets up ok, save setting then set HD controller to AHCI.
XP pro loads fine to completion, restart yields BSOD 0x7b.
Tried controller setting using IDE instead of AHCI, same results (ox7b)
Tried deleting and recreating RAID with both AHCI and IDE settings, same results (ox7b).

Any thoughts on what is causing the BSOD 0x7b stop? I know the Maher XP Pro iso has the needed SATA drivers for most boards (mine is IH7). I assume it's some driver related issue. I have a hard time believing it's the RAID configuration outright ,since Windows setup should just see a single drive presented for install...or am I missing something there?
Any inputs/ideas appreciated :)

Christopher

Post by: scarface on June 07, 2013, 08:49 PM
a raid specialist? I like that.
I wont answer you about xp, other experts here will do, but not choosing an x64 windows 7 edition with such demonic configuration is an act of sacrilege.
Also If you have an i5 and 8gb of ram perhaps you should afford an hybrid momentus, 80% faster than standard 7200 rpm: http://www.rue-montgallet.com/prix/acheter,seagate-320go-7200-rpm-s-ata-momentus-xt,721771
I keep an eye on it but Im broke. in paris working isnt enough to live.

heu, excuse the mix-up, if you have raid, you dont have a laptop.
Title: Re: Windows XP: Download & Support
Post by: Christopher on June 07, 2013, 10:24 PM
The 2 80 Gig drives are for testing. The end goal is to use 2 500 Gig Hitachi drives in the mirror setup. Currently one is in use until the 80 Gig pair 'test' is successful.
I am currently in the process of securing Windows 7 as it is looking like the XP PRO endeavor may fail.

Title: Re: Windows XP: Download & Support
Post by: scarface on June 07, 2013, 10:53 PM
maybe read this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324103 and specially
"You are installing Windows XP on a mirrored boot partition that was created by Microsoft Windows NT 4.0. Windows XP does not support Windows NT 4.0 Ftdisk volume sets. If you are running Microsoft Windows 2000, you must convert all Ftdisk volume sets to dynamic volumes before you upgrade to Windows XP. If you are running Windows NT 4.0, break any mirrors and back up all the data on the stripe, the RAID5, or the extended volume sets before you upgrade to Windows XP. Ftdisk sets might not be accessible after the upgrade."

Im sure your raid is the source of the problem.
Anyway for me raids are useless and energy consuming unless you need to have your data saved instantaneously. And as electricity price will at least probably double in the next ten years, perhaps you had better use a simple config

Update on previous post issue:
"Problem after install of Maher XP Pro (May 2013) - BSOD 0x7b after restart"

I went ahead and made the decision to install Windows 7 Ultimate on my 80 GB Mirror (RAID 1) setup.
I mirrored 2 80GB older SATA drives via BIOS as a test. I installed Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) Maher (May 2013) without incident. Later I added a 500GB SATA drive and was unable to boot Windows. I removed the drive but the boot error still exists.

I get:
\BOOT\CD
0xc000000e

I tried recovery but no luck. Do I need to re-install Windows AGAIN? Is there some other way to fix the issue.
In regards to questions concerning why I am mirroring, it's just some I want to do at this point, mainly because so I can comprehensively understand the mirroring process and it associated problems,

Inputs/ideas?

Heeey Windows XP freaks

First off all great work Maherz for making this Slipstream with integrated hotfixes.

But I got some trouble, first off all i have a netbook(laptop)samsung n220 with windows 7 starter without cd/dvd drive so the only way I can install is via USB.

I had some probs with the iso and the bootable making of the usbstick.

But lately it was working correctly with a program called 'flashboot'

I followed al the steps of http://www.prime-expert.com/flashboot/index.php

But now i get this error(see pic). I check the I386map but the files are in the map (prestup.cmd & setuporg.exe)
but in the file txtsetup.sif those lines are indeed missing.

Does anyone else has this problem? and how can i solve this? just fill up those lines with whats its saying on the pic?

ooh i downloaded the windowsxp maherz from this site: http://www.dl4all.com/software/1551942-windows-xp-professional-sp3-integrated-june-2013-x86.html is this safe or should I download it from the url here in the forum again?

And also is flashboot a good way to install windows xp? because it makes some weird .img file on the usbstick with a size of 891mb and the maherz xp is 623mb

Hopefully you guys can help me out!
Thanx in advance
Title: Re: Windows XP: Download & Support
Post by: scarface on June 21, 2013, 06:27 PM
I think (you can think otherwise and I didnt test it) that you're experiencing errors with maher's XP iso if you dont install it via CD/DVD. As a specialist already said, maher uses nlite to integrate hotfixes, and this method is known to create problems when installing xp via usb/ftp (temp files cant be deleted I think, so it sparks an error). It's due to the fact some files like dosnet.inf, txtetup.sif are rotten. So you have to use other ways: either you take a classic xp iso, or you should use a CD/DVD.
Title: Re: Windows XP: Download & Support
Post by: Ahmad on June 21, 2013, 11:20 PM
This is Maher's links for Windows XP:
http://www.nomaher.com/forum/index.php?topic=133.msg834#msg834

But since you've already downloaded the file, you can check MD5 hash of the iso file to see if it's identical to what Maher posted in his link or NOT.
If the hash of your iso file is the same as Maher posted, then you have downloaded the right file.
If not, then download it again from one of Maher's links.

For installing Windows from flash drive, You can use WinToFlash (http://wintoflash.com/download/en/) or Rufus (http://rufus.akeo.ie/).
Both do the required job and I've tried them with success.

Good luck. :)

to unknowsoldier: i´m going to transcript one one of my posts from approximatelly a month ago in this topic,

are you installing from a pendrive ? Don´t try to install xp from a pendrive, burn a cd or dvd and use physical media, i always
had errors when trying to install xp from pendrive (xp doesn´t have drivers for sata or usb pendrives in installation mode).
If your machine doesn´t have a cd/dvd reader buy an usb external one, it´s cheap and worth a lot.
----------
as I mention before xp doensn´t have native instalation support for usb and sata hds, don´t even try to work on a pendrive,
you are going to lost a lot of your time and money - buy an usb external dvd  it´s cheap and worth a lot.
----------
Only to give you an example - Me and my niece have a hp2133 and I use all scripts available on the internet to use a usb to install xp
and always have post-installation problems (crashing, erros in control panel, services, etc). One day I decided to buy an external dvd - because every now and then I need to borrow from a friend to do tech support in some systems doesn´t accept pendrives and after this day
I carry in my car the unit and never leave house without it. In USA you can buy one for about 30 bucks without freight.

Hey guys, I've messed up my laptop x/
I downloaded the windows xp pro sp3 install, and I chose the update option. As my laptop restarted I encountered an error, the files presetup.cmd and setuporg.exe had problems. I skipped it, thinking it wasn't a big deal. Now my laptop is just restarting the setup and aborting it because these 2 files are missing. I can not boot from anything, whatever I boot from, its the same thing, abort restart etc. I burnt the setup on my DVD trying to format it, but even after I select boot from DVD Drive, it still does the same, as if nothing ever changed. Please I'm really worried about this! Its urgent!
Title: Re: Windows XP: Download & Support
Post by: rodtsuka on June 29, 2013, 04:24 AM
to  kalesija13:
1) pray for good hard drive
2) download Hiren's Boot 15.2 Rebuild - and put on a pendrive or dvd
3) boot from hiren´s (in windows xp mode) and try to solve your problem and check if your workfiles still there.
4) if your files are still there backup your hd with acronis in another hard drive
5) after the backup check your hd with hiren´s - use the official version this time
6) if your hd is good - reinstall windows and programs from point zero
7) return your workfiles to the original hd but keep the backup for at least a month - sometimes you forget to return a very inportant file
8) I know it´s demand time and is lot of a work too - but it´s worthed I personally guarantee.

for example: i visited a new client today, he talks to me about problems in internet explorer, after analysing the computer I told the new client that I need to pickup the computer and return after two or three days because the windows installation is deteriorated and I need to backup the whole partition, reformat the hd, reinstall windows and programs, separate workfiles and programs, return the data to the reformated drive. He asked me to do a paliative method. I told him I´m not going to do that because it is going to crash again and that is impossible to do all reformat and other things in a client´s home. He told me that he can´t live without his computer and etc. He also told me that other technicians do this kind of work in a client´s home and I told him that´s why your windows is in that kind of mess. Finally i charged a half a visit (I only analyse the computer and have a little chat) and he told me is going to call when he is going to a weekend vacation. I prefer to lose a work and have a satisfied client (that is going to be a regular one and is going to advertise you to a friends) than do a paliate one and lose actual and future clients.

Hi everybody. I installed the Maherz Windows XP SP3 integrated CD (burned + verified), and everything went well there. Then I started installing MS updates and removing some Windows components (such as ie8), and along the way, I was asked to insert my CD, but it didn't accept the one I made, so I had to click cancel. Then I had problems with missing files and errors (ieencode.dll, iertutil.dll), which I replaced with ones downloaded from the internet. It complained about one of them, but the errors went away. I decided to run System File Checker (SFC) to make sure everything was OK, but now again it is telling me the CD is wrong.  Is this normal? Can I rescue it? I really don't want to go through the installation again.
Cheers.

PS. I used the included tool to remove Maherz signature.

@timelessbeing - I don't know what computer you have, but I'd install XP only if it's older than ±6 years simply because XP is much to old for anything newer than that. Also, don't just remove stuff arbitrarily. I personally hate both IE and WMP, but I know I can't remove them because many programs and processes depend on their engines. Sure, there's stuff you can get rid of, but there's also a lot of garbage you're stuck with. Let me also say that I've installed XP on probably as many as 50 computers and in all honesty I've never had much of a problem.

As much as we may hate Windows, the fact is we're stuck with it. Software and hardware support is ubiquitous, not to even mention every hack imaginable. I myself have Linux Mint installed on a separate partition of my 2nd hard drive, and even then there are tons of things I can't do with it. What good is the world's best OS when nobody supports it?

The files are there for sure. I even tried dumping your files from windows 7 into my directory. Same error.

I even tried this on a fresh install of Maherz. Same problem. Something must be removed from the ISO that is causing this problem :(

Hi!

I downloaded Windows XP Professional SP3 (x86) Integrated November 2012 by Maher, and burned it using PowerISO at 10X speed.

Now here is my problem/question.

     I was trying to do a repair install using the actual microsoft xp professional SP3 that came with the computer, because I wanted to keep all my files/programs. During this process I received about 30 notifications of copy errors! (I browsed the web and it said its probably due to the scratched CD, hence why i'm here trying this out) but pulled through the repair install to see if it will work because I needed to get to a program on the computer soon. Now what happens is whenever I turn my computer on, it goes to the welcome screen before the desktop pops up, then it seems as if the deskstop is about to pop up but nothing happens and it just hangs there. Now I'm desperate and I really need to get to this program because it's for work, I don't care about anything else on the comp except the program.

Now my question, With this burned copy, will I be able to perform a successful microsoft xp repair install so I can reach the program? I'm not super tech savvy, so if this doesn't work should I just take it to a computer tech to try to figure this one out??
Thanks for your help!!

I already read that. But as you told me you already had the right files in system32, I didnt think it was of any use...
maybe You should check if these files are missing in the iso and add them for the next time.

RemoteDesktop Issues...
Just for the case someone still gets this error with <LANG_NAME> I used to have it also... this might help!
1) Go to microsoft.com and download (KB969084)
2) Restart in SafeMode and go to "windows\system32" and rename both files "mstsc.exe" and "mstscax.dll" by adding ".BAK"-extension or just delete both.. (You need to restart in SafeMode, its crucial)
3) Install the downloaded KB..
4) Restart and do all the updates
This definitely worked for me. My XP was the May2013-Version.

Hey I actually had the same issue with the XP June release lagging a lot. But I honestly can't say if it was the release or not because my PC is old. I'm reverting back to Windows 7 because I think it actually runs smoother for me. I'll have to go with the 7 June release since an August release isn't posted yet.

@RandomJ and kolio - if your system can run any version of Windows 7, stay away from XP! On Windows 7 or 8, if your CPU is less than 7 years old and if you have 4 GB of memory, absolutely always use 64 bit. I firmly believe XP should be used by those whose system is too old for W7 or W8 and it is financially impossible to upgrade. My dear friends Ahmad and Topdog are perfect examples. I take comfort in the fact that the longer my friends have to wait, the better the hardware they'll buy as soon as they upgrade.

I fixed the lagging problem.. it was a skype extention for Firefox.. It was frying the CPU to 50 %. Its my sisters computer and she prefers Win XP.. Idk why. Anyway, the 32 bit xp does not detects the whole 4 gb Ram .. only 3,45. I was thinking about installing win xp sp2 x64 but I decided to stay on this version. Anyways soon I am getting a new laptop ( ASUS k55vd ) It will come with UEFI Bios and I am stuck with these new UEFI bioses.. Cuz the last time i wasnt able to boot maherz win 7 under legacy mode and it only booted in UEFI mode with disabled security boot, and then I wasnt able to active it because of the GPT partion.. so any advices would be awesome
Title: Re: Windows XP: Download & Support
Post by: scarface on August 24, 2013, 10:55 PM
normally UEFI BIOS is created for Windows 8 and if use other system like Windows 7, you have to disable the UEFI BIOS and Secure Boot options.
Title: Re: Windows XP: Download & Support
Post by: humbert on August 25, 2013, 03:03 AM
@Scarface - let me ask you something since I'm too lazy to Google this  :)   Secure boot is nothing more than a feature of UEFi, right? In other words, you can boot into your BIOS and disable Secure Boot, all the while retaining all other features. You can [for example] still create partitions larger than 2 TB.

One thing I'm seeing is that people keep getting UEFI and secure boot mixed up.

@kolio - assuming you don't already know this, you are by no means stuck with Microsoft's UEFI-based limitations. They can easily be disabled. You'll see plenty of links on Google how to do that.

Hello lansongeorge :)

1. The serial that Maher includes is a VL Volume License key because his XP release is from the original untouched VL ISO of Windows XP from Microsoft.
So, if your serial is for another XP edition like Home XP, I think your serial won't work with Maher release.

2. Unfortunately, Maher doesn't do Windows XP corporate students edition. You can search for one on any torrent site.

Good luck ;)

There is no XP 2006 or 2007. XP came out in ±2001 and since then there have been service packs and updates. Do a search on any of the trillions of torrent sites and you'll easily find it.

Forget it! Keeping XP alive is not going to happen. XP was an excellent OS in its day, but nowadays it's obsolete and its time to finally die is imminent. People said the same thing about DOS. How many people today even know how to use DOS?

As of 2014 Microsoft will no longer support XP. There will be no more updates. This is dangerous given that the vast majority of updates are security related.

As I've said countless times, the problem is simply that XP is too old and was never designed for use with today's hardware. You can only upgrade any OS up to a point, beyond that the whole thing has to be rewritten from scratch.

Only those of you stuck with old hardware and unable to upgrade should be using XP. On newer systems there is simply no justification.

You can use any other media player like MPC-HC, KMPlayer or VLC which will be better than WMP. ;)

@usmangujjar - I'm seeing that your avatar is essentially a mixture of the flag of Saudi Arabia with the Pakistani flag. The words in your sig are inscribed on the Saudi flag.

Despite the fact that the Qur'an was written in Arabic, not all 1 billion muslims speak the language.  If that were the case then there would be no need to translate it into all those other languages.

Let me ask you - how prevalent is Arabic in Pakistan if the national language is Urdu? Are you obligated to learn it in school, or is it optional?

@usmangujjar - I have no problem understanding your written English. I'd say the only reason it's not perfect is because maybe where you live you don't get much a of chance to practice it. But you can relax, it's more than good enough for our forum. I'm sure you're aware that the reason Maher mandated English is precisely because we are an international group and we need a link language. If there were no such rule then this forum would become another Tower of Babel.

BTW, were you educated in a Madrassah? I understand the training there is very strict, and mostly based on repetition.

i am not using Win XP, i used it only for some puposes, in my country, i think there is 90% computer users using Win XP.
i don't know why some people stick with it, while there pc specifications meet with Windows 7 requirments, however more number of people have'nt good pc to run Win7.

It's simple - people are comfortable with what they know and are afraid of what they don't know. For that reason they just prefer to take the easy way out and stay in the past as if the present or future didn't exist. Believe me, this is nothing new and is by no means limited to Pakistan or any other country.

The problem with this logic is that these people are swimming against the current and eventually they'll be overwhelmed.

It's not that simple. Not at all. XP is still around for many reasons. It's a great OS, probably Microsoft's best. A lot of users prefer to use it over subsequent versions of Windows. There are millions of computers with hardware that won't run Vista or Windows 7. Many businesses have software and systems on XP that are working satisfactorily. And so on. Your logic is flawed

My logic is clear. The simple fact that XP has been around so long is no indication that it's god's gift to creation. Yes, it was a good OS in its day, but believe me, I ran Windows 8 for about 13 months and I now upgraded to 8.1. These 2 OS's are as rock solid as XP was. XP's problem is the simple fact that it's archaic.

The problem with businesses often boil down to economics. Many are still using relatively old client PC's. For them it's not just the downtime involved in upgrading, but the fact that, unlike us pirates, they have to pay for it. But even for them upgrades are inevitable - those old computers will slowly but surely go away, never to be replaced, and replacements don't come with XP. Don't believe me? Ask yourself this - who today is still running on a first generation Pentium? Oh and of course, don't forget support ends next year. This means no more security updates.

For me a major irritant when I boot up mini-XP on Hirens Boot CD is that I cannot use my much faster USB 3.0 flashdrive on the USB 3.0 port. XP is too old and won't see the drive. I have to use the slower 2.0 port. Upgrades are a fact of life and that's the bottom line.

Maher's XP release is the original Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP3 (32-bit) ISO (Volume License) including Microsoft updates, Internet Explorer 8, Adobe Flash Player and SATA drivers.

So, it is VL not OEM and I think it has NO repair option.

I'm not too sure but I would imagine so. What's to update after that date if Microsoft won't be writing updates? Unless you're stuck with an ancient system which won't support W7, W8 or W8.1, you've gotta upgrade, the sooner the better.

I agree with that in 100%. I loved windows xp but now I am user of Windows 8.1 and I will say that is product which I need. I use Linux Mint on my notebook but for desktop for now one and only Windows 8.1.

I'm pretty sure there will still be some prehistoric PCs that need XP, and Maher's images are perfect for the job.

I too am an old hat at this. My first computer was an Atari 800-XE which sported the the 8-bit 6502 processor and ran at a blazing ±1.5 mHz (just like your old C-64). If it were possible to "fix, patch and polish" any OS from now until doomsday we would all still be using DOS. No matter how good an OS is, there will always be a ceiling, i.e., a point where continuing to upgrade until hell freezes over becomes difficult, if not impossible. XP, an OS designed for 13-year old computers, is already past that point.

I agree that XP was a good OS in its day, but from personal experience I can affirm that Windows 8 and 8.1 are far better, at least for me. I ran into more problems with XP in the 9 years I used it then I've encountered with Windows 7, 8 and 8.1. Not only that, but 8 and 8.1 are highly configurable - you are not tied down to all that garbage MS wants you to do. Also, just like you, I did skip Vista entirely.

It's true that guys who write malware, just like other predators, choose the easiest targets. Naturally the easiest has something to do with people who don't know what they're doing regardless of what version of Windows they're running. But I also find it hard to believe they will not attempt to target any flaw in XP after April of 2014, especially since there will be many hundreds of millions of computers out there still running it.

You made some valid points, but I will definitely stick with XP on my old machine which is still good and will remain good for many uses, and I won't be too concerned about security issues.

I've always said that if you're stuck with an old machine, XP is the way to go. The problem is I've seen some people on here who just got [for example] a Core i7 processor/motherboard and insist on running XP. If they insist on XP, then why throw their money away on an i7?

Guys, Maher has already told me that, due to XP support ending in April,  he too will not be making any more releases after that date. I strongly recommend to those of you who do not have the misfortune of being stuck with an old system, to bite the bullet and upgrade immediately. Don't wait for the last minute.

Once again and to prevent any misunderstandings: this advice applies ONLY to those of you whose systems can run at least 32bit Windows 7, 8 or 8.1. Something else - any computer that can run W7 will run W8 or W8.1. Microsoft says this, not me. On my old laptop, I found that W8 runs better than W7. Don't think for a second that W7 is better for older systems, that's just not true.

But i'm wondering if you can make such Windows XP SP3 in other languages. Actually, i'm speaking French and i would like to have your Xp release with all updates in French (With ie8 and WMP11)!!!

Hopefully yours!!!

Hi maher.

I am using this software "Windows XP" on VmWAre
I had Installed two Same copy
One of the two asked a product Key but it works
THe other who don't ask for a product key I am getting a problem
The problem is when I open a file (e.g: Internet Explorer)
It says "You don't have the permission to access this file"
Even on personalizing
The theme is classic now Windows Xp
I bet your softwares will work but the other one is working like a charm

Note: I would like to get Windows Media Player 11 please give me the link (Can't download from microsoft)

When I installed XP on VMWare, I remember it also asked for a product key. I just did a Google search and found a few, one of them worked. After that it's been running OK. Mine isn't even Maher's release. My golden rule is to go to TPB and see what copies are available. If you see plenty of people on the swarm and positive comments (or no negative comments), I'd say there's a very good possibility it'll work.

i used NLITE, for adding. removing and customizing win xp setup, you can give a try to it.

Can't seem to get it to install the Sata drivers on the initial "Load SATA drivers using F6" screen. Only installs the drivers later in the setup. So it won't pick up my Sata drive to start the install. :(

I don't know about the cause of this, but may be this file was skipped during the process of copying to the flash drive, or any other cause.

Anyway, as long as there were no more problems, it's OK. But you should check the presence of this file in system32 folder.. If it doesn't exist, you should copy it from your XP CD manually.

You'll find this file in the CD in the I386 folder like this "MSVBVM50.DL_"..
You can extract it with 7-zip program and then, copy the resulting file "MSVBVM50.DLL" to system32 folder.

There was a post last year (quoted below). I see the solution to installing properly, but I can't figure out how to fix this part, if you have a moment to help out :)

when i press OK, the system will reboot and will go on a loop just like this. I don't know how to solve this. I've went through various forums and it seems that most of them haven't found the answers yet. I thought you can help me with this. I can't use my laptop now even if i run it in safe mode.

Greetings Mr. Mahel!

I'm new here in your site and I recently downloaded your Windows XP SP3 May edition (the first one that comes out when you search it to TPB). As I view the comments there, no one has ever encountered the same problem as I did. I downloaded the ISO, burnt it, and installed it. But for some reasons, I'm getting this error saying that "SETUPORG.exe does not exist in the i386 folder on UXPCD". There's a RETRY and SKIP options and technically, i will choose the SKIP button. The installation will finish but when the computer reboots itself, it won't continue saying that there's a missing file.

C:\WINDOWS\system32\presetup.cmd - FILE NOT FOUND!
C:\WINDOWS\system32\setupORG.exe - FILE NOT FOUND!
(setupORG.exe - > Original windows Setup.exe)

POSSIBLE CAUSE:
1. "Presetup.cmd" not exist in the i386 folder on UXPCD
    "setupORG.exe" not exist in the i386 folder on UXPCD

2. Check your "Txtsetup.sif" in the i386 folder on UXPCD
---Txtsetup.sif: -------------------------------------
[SourceDisksFiles]
setupORG.exe = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0; must exist
presetup.cmd = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0; must exist
--------------------------------------------------------

SETUP ABORT


when i press OK, the system will reboot and will go on a loop just like this. I don't know how to solve this. I've went through various forums and it seems that most of them haven't found the answers yet. I thought you can help me with this. I can't use my laptop now even if i run it in safe mode.

1. I would check the hashes of the ISO file.
2. If OK, I would burn it again to another CD and try again.
3. If not OK, I would make a bootable USB - using YUMI - and try with that.
4. If not OK, I would download another, later ISO and try with that one.

I've never had a problem with these ISOs - 4 or 5 used.

It will, believe me. Old hardware dies sooner or later... and when it does, XP will go down with it. Not that it's not a good OS, it's just that time will dominate as always. Even windows 7 will become obsolete at a certain point. Until then, we have Maher to untegrate windows updates for us. :)

Hello again. I come with a question and it's mostly directed at Maher. I really appreciate your work on windows XP, integrating updates and stuff, but could you also integrate the damn .NETs in the .iso? It's kinda frustrating having to wait for those oldass PCs to install .NETs by themselves, even though I have the install packages on a flash stick. You're already doing an amazing job integrating all the released stuff into the .iso and I know it's not something one can do in 5 minutes, but I really hope .NETs become part of the your .iso images.

Best regards. :)
Title: Re: Windows XP Support
Post by: scarface on February 08, 2014, 10:51 PM
to shhnedo: Its not possible to integrate net framework or directx in any os. The easiest way is to create a silent installer and install it at runonce for xp.
The only way to integrate them in your iso is to sysprep your system but for some reasons it doesnt work well with xp. As harkaz said long ago "Unlike windows 7, Sysprep is not designed to work well with xp".

No going back to torrents. Maher won't allow that. If you want his release so badly, why don't you just pay those sites for faster access? You want paid access for free? Sorry, no such thing.

There won't be any funny stuff on your desktop/registry/back yard/etc. You just won't see the "New updates available" pop-up because MS won't be supporting XP any more. You can still run it on w/e PC you want, as long as you have the drivers for it. Now with that being said, please, for the love of God, don't install XP on modern PCs with driver support for Windows 7 or later.

i use XP & 8, both are my favourite..
MS whatever do for XP, i'll use it, when i need it. drivers are no problem for me,
I had to do something to overcome the XP support ends
Download and saved ie:
-------------------------------
WinXP.SP4.12.2.15.enu.Critical
Windows XP Service Pack 3 (KB936929)
Update for Windows XP (KB2779562)
Update for Windows XP (KB2570791)
Update for Windows XP (KB969084)

some note of me
---------------------
update windows xp XP errorr 0x80244018 (error on XP)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
80070643 error and do this
fsutil resource setautoreset true C: \ -> Xp
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Whatever M$ do for Windows XP, i'll use it, when need it,
the fact that there are still some games or applications that only run / compatible in windows xp
for me Xp is still need to be used in accordance with the requirements and other limitation is as
vulnerable as we consideration

Hopefully is useful for us!

Are you stuck with an old system that makes it impossible to upgrade your copy of Windows or what? As I see it, that the only justification with staying with XP. Also, why are you running ancient software that works just with XP? Again, it it that you're stuck with some ancient hardware that needs it or something?

I've noticed that old software not running on anything higher than XP is the exception and not the norm. You could also check on the compatibility mode on Windows 7 thru 8.1 - I don't know too much about it because I never run it, but maybe others on the forum can guide you.

Certainly people can use what they want, but with computing being what it is, those options are limited. XP is a perfect example. Support will end soon, it's time to move on or get left behind.

I firmly believe if people simply stuck with what they know and refused to move on, we'd still be using horses instead of cars,

To humbert: with progress we have open pandora's box. We now depend on a way of life where we are forced to consume and work more and more and where we have become slaves of the society of consumption. If MS releases some new products, its not because they are better, its mostly a marketing strategy. And above all, Is this going to be durable? You should see this video with nafeez ahmed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMgOTQ7D_lk
Also, its not because you or a few users are using not legit Windows that Ms Is benefiting from piracy to spread their Os. They dont need That. Why do you think they stop the support for xp? Because they force firms to buy new licences of Windows. Where Im working they are changing every computer. Thousands of employees Will have new machines with win7 just because they are afraid to be hacked.

@Scarface-> I'm fully aware of the fact that all companies will do what it takes to increase their profit margin. This is nothing new. But let's be clear about something. A 50-year old car will get you from point A to point B just the same as one made yesterday. Similarly, a 1920x1080 LED HDTV made 5 years ago isn't too different from one made today. This is not the case with computing. As far back as 1965, Gordon Moore came out with his famous law. Computer technology advances as fast as a bullet, and software must advance with it. Mark Kryder also came with his law and both of these have held true.

On thing I keep telling XP users is that if their logic reigned supreme, we would all still be using DOS with 16-bit 80286 processors - and this is assuming we even left 8-bit systems behind!

I'll make it a bit easier: the same method applies to ALL windows .iso images since XP SP2(including SP2). You just have to burn it at low speeds. Something like x4(which I've been using for quite some time now). If you've burned a file to a disk before, then it won't be difficult for you.

I quit burning bootable ISO's to DVD or CD completely. Using a USB stick is infintely faster. In this case grab Windows7-USB-DVD-tool.exe - I'm pretty sure it'll work for XP also because it's a free download from Microsoft. Google for it and you'll find it. BTW - don't even dream of using USB 3.0 for XP. XP is too ancient, too old for USB 3.0.

Certainly PowerISO will work great, but frankly I prefer Burnaware. I might mention I've never had a problem because I used a speed faster than the slowest one.

Title: OEM
Post by: elcapo on April 05, 2014, 04:07 PM
Up against deadline, it's driving me nuts trying to get all various bits from MS site, and getting to know nlite is just bit too much.

So hwo can I use disc to OEM install?

I have ISO and deleted winnt.sif (to get rid of that VLK), and changed the PID in settup.ini.

But then I panic a bit as I see OEM directory with drvrpack executables, pkzip, etc and I wonder whether that SIF file also contained relevant code for slipstreamed updates.

Will try disc but not holding out hope (oh also changed the label of course).


But failing all this...  back to orig question.

Can I, or how can I use as OEM disc installer.

I have LEGAL keys I want to use, and currently it is taking longer than one day per install using an original OEM SP3 disc, which is driving me nuts  (largely my fault as I try and Ghost/Acronis image frequently through the process and try and catch all those updates in the SoftDist folder (thinking it will save mindnumbing browsing of MS website).  Good thing though as .NET4 adds intolerable delay to startup, and I've got to redo things with AHCI option , so plenty headaches to come.
Title: Re: Windows XP Support
Post by: elcapo on April 05, 2014, 07:48 PM
not completely surprised but saying that just read a posting on mydigitallife detailing the same thing.

change the PID to change the channel.


Besides disc ran (boy all those SATA drivers take ages) right upto key entry,  whereby it refused to accept ANY key,  tried VLK & OEM.

Hmmm.


ran nlite on an XP2 OEM HOme disc, adding SP3 a doddle, but what about drivers?  nlite screenshots all show PnP, but surely textmode is more important.   Also what is correct inf for Intel   the AHCI or the Stor option they seem to be same and nlite won't accept both.

As for hotfixes, it refuses to accept any hotfix of mine   (as they are all ready to go in install directories, but update.exe should work....    shouldn't it?
Title: Re: Windows XP Support
Post by: humbert on April 06, 2014, 04:26 AM
@elcapo -> Why do you even bother with XP? Are you stuck with an old system or what? Also, I'm not surprised your SATA drivers take forever to load - SATA did not even exist when XP was released in 2001.

Did you hear that the UK government made a deal with Microsoft to extend XP support for £5.5M for another year? Naturally it's only for them, plus sooner or later they're going to have to bite the bullet and upgrade. The funny thing is that they've known about XP's upcoming extinction for over a year and did nothing until the very last second. They could have saved themselves that money had the acted sooner. I suppose if it weren't for the last minute, nothing would ever get done.

Astrium satellites also all use XP,   same for various Formula 1 teams,  plenty of others.

Hardware legacy support.    Besides I am trying to sort a collection of legacy machines, just sprucing them up and getting genuine licences sorted before support end.


RE -   Maher disc. 

It doesn't work anyway.  Tried it on various hardware.    Even on classic pre AHCI machine setup txtmode failed before even getting to "do you wan to install XP" screen.     

I seem to recall that error mentioned ntdll.

Tried it on ICH10 ASUS p5Q in IDE & AHCI modes but Maher March disc doesn't even get that far.

It goes to blank/black screen for a while then says

INF file txtsetup.sif corrupt or missing  Status 4096.


AND THIS WAS WITH ORIGINAL UNMODDED MAHER MARCH DISC.   Cannot get it running on ANY hardware tried, going back to Pentium 3 / single core Athlon era hardware - AGP GFX!!          -  yet several discs I have created do work, just the AHCI issue is still causing headaches.


**** an aside to user above -  Why would MAher even be bothering making such discs if people didn't appreciate his efforts????     Further family member had laptop serviced - OS clean installed by a professional outfit and they put XP on the machine even though Vista or 7 would have been appropriate  (and no COA existed as all labels on underside worn out totally - no clue even to machines identity or serial, let alone paper based MS COA)... so they did XP too, albeit last year. *******



Turned out one of initial issues I ran into with nlite is it hadn't made a proper ISO.   Then there is the 'Bad Pooler Call' problem .... whcih is thanks manly to Intel screwing up drivers.

RVM created a modded XP SP3 disc perfectly   but this won't get round the AHCI issue.

As of April 8 2014, Microsoft will no longer support Windows XP for the general public.
This means there will no longer be any updates or security patches for the OS,
making it vulnerable to security threats. The company has urged XP users to
migrate to a more recent supported operating system. Microsoft site Link (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/enterprise/endofsupport.aspx)

Just a few days after the UK government signed a £5.548 million deal with Microsoft
for a years worth of Windows XP support, the government of the Netherlands has
signed another multi-million Euro deal with the company for continued support of
its Windows XP systems, according to Dutch News.

As per the report, around 34000-40000 Dutch national government civil servants
are still using Windows XP computers. The deal is expected to provide continued
Windows XP support until all government PCs are migrated to a new system,
which is due to happen in January 2015.

A similar deal between the software giant and the United Kingdom government
is expected to see the former provide critical security updates for XP, Office 2003,
and Exchange 2003 until April 8, 2015

However, Microsoft has given banks using XP Embedded until January 2016 to
upgrade before it cuts support. More Details Click here (http://www.zdnet.com/dutch-government-pays-millions-to-extend-microsoft-xp-support-7000028116/)

Thousands of people have downloaded it both from Maher's links and uploaded to torrent sites, and only you couldn't get it to work. Let's see - all these people are wrong and you're right, correct? BTW, when I ran XP I too had a problem when I enabled AHCI. I did a little searching and found a registry hack that fixed the problem. It all boils down to the simple fact that XP is too old.

Legacy hardware belongs in a recycle bin where any plastics or other materials and be turned into dust and re-used. Throw that legacy garbage away!.

Yaahoooo..... It's a good news for someone like me who like and still use XP. England and Nertherland have already signed a continueing support Windows Xp with Microsoft until 2015 or 2016. That means we still have updates through this signature  ;D if Maherz can update it. Not everyone can afford to buy a new computer to run Windows 8.1, which needs 2gb to run casual programs, and 4gb or 8gb,16gb to run the lastest games. I only run Xp to ues Office 2003,2010 and play online games, which only require no more 4gb Ram, only core i3 and i5 Ivybridge with GTX 650,660, you can play these online games smoothly. I only mean you can play in 2014 and 2015, and then we will update system to Windows 7, which is more easier to use and need less Ram than Windows 8/8.1  8)

Here's a suggestion. If you're stuck with an old system and you don't do much more than web surfing or checking email, you can stay safe by running a distro of Linux. For a primitive system probably 32bit Lubuntu is your best bet.

For those of you who are still having a hard time with the inevitability of change in the computer industry, I remember that back in 1991 or 1992 a 33-mHz Intel 80386 computer with a whopping 4 megs of memory, a 40 MB hard drive and 13" CRT monitor, would set you back $10,000 (that's ten thousand US dollars).

Which is your country? For that matter, what's your city?

Anyway, you're correct - that's roughly the price here in America too. All the more reason to chastize those people who claim to be stuck with an old computer and as such would prefer to stick with XP until the day they die - and possibly even pass that computer on to their great-grandchildren with XP still on it. Since these ancient computer are useless for doing anything that requires a reasonable amount of processing power (e.g., play games other than Solitaire), then my suggestion is to move to Linux. Surfing the web, checking email and writing a letter to your sweetheart can be done in Linux easily, and you won't even need antimalware programs to further hog your limited resources. 32bit Lubuntu will probably work on 20 year-old machines.

Are you Bulgarian? I'm asking because you said "Here in my country, for example.....roughly 190-200 euros". I just checked and Bulgaria is not in the Eurozone, hence my question.

Another question - in your computer science classes do you use English and the Latin alphabet, or Bulgarian and the Cyrillic alphabet? I think the Bulgarian language uses Cyrillic, but I might be mistaken. I also noticed Varna is on the Black Sea. Are there beaches, and is it warm enough to bathe in them?

The goal isn't to force people with old machines to buy new ones. I, personally, never told anyone with a perfectly working XP machine to buy this or that. Neither has humbert, if you understand what he's implying. I'm still installing XP on old machines, because it's the best OS for the job. I'd just NEVER install XP on something like na i3 and 4GB of ram.

Same here. I wasn't talking about you or humbert in that last sentence. The whole post did start out as a reply to humbert, but it's really more of a general comment on this whole xp eos business. I've read so much crap lately, I really needed to vent and say my piece.
untill now I've checked on ten pc at my own internet cafe Xp runs just fine and still got updates (we still keep Xp because some games just runs OK on it), the last updates I guess! Humbert give us another way option, if you stick on old machine, Linux runs OK even on modern machine. (depend on ourself), Not to force people to buy the new ones, MS suggest Xp users migrate to W8.1.
Here some opportunity, by ended of support Xp...news april 17 2014 >>>> here (http://goo.gl/yTslC9)

Fuj -> The problem with XP isn't so much the fact that support has been discontinued nor that the OS is "bad", but more so that it's ancient and archaic. Getting hit by malware is like anything else in life - if you get hit you get hit, if you don't, then you don't. My post about moving to Linux was meant not just as a precaution, but because XP is old and slowly becoming useless. Installing it on any computer built after ±2007 is ridiculous, and even more so if you've got a 64bit system. How long has it been since anyone made a 32bit microprocessor? What surprises me most is that, having been around computers since 1993 or before, you know as well as I do that upgrades are an inescapable fact of life. Why aren't you still running DOS?

I read this morning there is a company in China who has decided to write XP updates for sale to the Chinese market. It won't be long before they make their way to TPB, not to even mention those the UK government is paying for.

Why are some people so resistant to upgrades, especially in the computer industry? Don't they realize that it's like being on a sinking ship and not getting off, as if somehow the ship was going to keep floating forever and ever?

Good analogy! Being told not to leave the sinking ship is like being told to hang on tight and stick with XP. With XP as well as with the Korean boat, sooner or later you'll have to jump ship.

I never said XP was bad, I said it was old. I've also mentioned many times that people who are stuck with old computers who are financially unable to upgrade must continue with XP. Assuming they're not running some program where they're stuck with Windows or some hardware where no Linux support exists, I feel Linux is a viable alternative because it's safer, more reliable and easier on old systems.

Certainly Micro$haft wants to make money selling Windows 8.1, but that's not the only reason it keeps insisting on upgrading everybody. Any old OS can be upgraded only so far before it has to be rewritten from scratch. The hard fact is that XP is just too old for any system ±5 years old or younger. It is precisely this logic that forced DOS out of existence.

SP3 doesn't exist in a 64 bit variant. Anyway, you're thinking about a 64 bit OS, why even consider XP? Think 7(or higher), not XP.

Otherwise, look for SP2 x64.

Windows XP 64Bit is dead, noone uses it, noone makes drivers for it(well some do, but you get the point)
Windows 2000, I doubt that it will, it's also in the past.

You're absolutely correct. XP is all but gone. As I keep on saying, only those people who are stuck with an old system and financially impossible to upgrade should stick with it. Of course this is assuming they can't use a 32bit distro of Linux instead.

if your laptop has not good CPU & enough memory, why you update windows??
just make lite version of XP & use, if you want, i can give you such XP.
I don't have the drivers for it, sorry. Otherwise I would definitely do it.
I would like an installation for it though. And do you know if I can install it on a USB stick and get it to boot successfully on a machine that already has windows 7 installed on it?

Good Day,

    First of all i would like to thank Mr.Maher for a great work.I'm a new member here and i'm a bit curious about mma2000's issue regarding his/her download problem.

Is his/her problem in anyway related to Mr. Maher's Windows XP SP3 integrated with MAY Update ISO file or maybe due to mma200's current setting on his/her PC after installing his/her windows XP?

I am not yet installing Mr. Maher's XP SP3 work but i want to know or rather confirm from everyone that his work is just fine.

Thanks for enlightening me. ;)

My profile picture is just an avatar. :)

I still want to use XP because i'm really used to it  and most of my softwares and old games are compatible with XP.What i like most about XP is it consumes little resources so it will definitely run on old system which i use as of the moment.Personally, i like XP and Win7 for my daily computer usage.

Couple of days ago I read some "microsoft statement" (atleast the artical says it's from microsoft) which explains why this reg hack isn't very healthy for XP machines as the updates are written for server 2003 and something else, but not for XP SP3. This is why people should use stuff like Maher's release for a clean install and then turn off updates completely.

P.S. Here it is, after some googling:
QuoteWhen ZDNet ran news of the hack and confirmed that it worked, Microsoft contacted ZDNet and issued the following statement:

    The security updates that could be installed are intended for Windows Embedded and Windows Server 2003 customers and do not fully protect Windows XP customers. Windows XP customers also run a significant risk of functionality issues with their machines if they install these updates, as they are not tested against Windows XP. The best way for Windows XP customers to protect their systems is to upgrade to a more modern operating system, like Windows 7 or Windows 8.1.

I don't even remember the last time when anything was sold with less than 4 GB. Stick with XP and turn updates off. As for those programs you run, have you tested them on W7 or W8? Just about everything that works with XP can run on W7 or W8. I don't say that, Microsoft does. Out of curiosity alone, what does "wallofasgard" mean?

Shhnedo -> You and Daniil are the ones who know most about computer science on this forum. We can all learn from your input.

iih -> Regarding continued XP updates, use your head a little. If indeed you could continue getting XP updates via a simple registry hack, then why [for example] is the government of China threatening not to buy W8 in protest of MS discontinuing support for their millions of computers still on that ancient OS?

Most of my programs especially Novels are tested and 100% working on 32 bit OS.I already tried to use them on my newer PC with Win7 64 bit but sometimes the Novel itself crash or suddenly stops from responding.Maybe due to 64 bit architecture but i'm not sure because i'm just a normal user (too much thinking makes me sleep in the process). :)  Mr. Maher's XP will be the last update of XP that i'm going to use and i'm not going to do those registry hack.I respect Mr. Maher's work (i don't want it to be ruined by those "unintended for XP update") and if something goes wrong...i will be confident to ask for assistance regarding his work.Thanks for reminding me about turning off the Automatic Update. :D

wallofasgard -> Again I'm curious. What file format do your novels come it? I would assume these are simply PDF files so they could be easily read by just about any device. To put it another way, what is so special about them that you're having trouble reading them on W7 or higher?

Can they be printed to PDF using one of the thousand of PDF printers?

Visual Novels. ;) And some of them are older than XP itself... :)

Even i myself is not sure why some of these Visual Novels are having some trouble with Win 7 especially 64 bit OS.

Maybe some of these novels especially the old ones are being distributed as "release and forget".  :'(

(Sigh) To be honest,these past months are making it hard for me to decide whether i will or will not stay on XP anymore.

New novels are being released and i'm quite sure that they are tested on newer OS.Perhaps i should try to use Win 7 32 bit (since i only have 2 gb of RAM  and Win7 is 32 bit) and pray that these novels will work just fine on it ...but i'm hesitating...







Title: Re: Windows XP Support
Post by: humbert on June 05, 2014, 01:24 AM
Are these visual novels compiled .exe program in themselves, or do you have a viewer running some sort of proprietary format? I understand perfectly that a pre-XP program might have trouble with W7 or higher, but if the program is newer (as you said), you can bet borrowed money it'll run on W7.

As for upgrading your OS, based on what you're telling us your computer might be a little too old to handle W7 or W8. You might want to run a test, but if so stick to 32bit versions of the newer OS'. Naturally as we advance more and more into the future, ditching XP becomes more and more inevitable.

I'm not clear about something. Does Rufus have to support your specific ISO file in order to create a bootable USB drive? If not then how do you use it. I looked for the answer on their site and didn't find it.

I hven't had any problems with Rufus. But truth be told, I only used it for Win7.
@humbert
It doesn't have to support your specific iso, I guess it identifies the OS by inspecting iso contents and uses a modified boot loader, if that's what you mean.

Let me see if I understand this. Any ISO that will boot after being burned to a DVD can be booted from a flashdrive with Rufus? I'm asking because the USB boot programs I've seen so far (such as those available at pendrivelinux.com (http://pendrivelinux.com)) will make bootable flashdrives only from those ISO's they support.

Good day again,

I am having some trouble upon testing Mr.Mahers, May 2014 update...you see,after creating partitions (C and D)...then,proceeding with the "Set-up is Formatting",it keeps on stucking at 20% for almost half an hour since my post...

Can you guys help me with this problem? I am sure that the ISO that i've downloaded match the MD5 hash and i also see to it that the ISO was burned (using IMGBURN at 12x speed, my CD was capable of 48X write speed) and was verified without  an error.

I also tested it on my new hard drive but it also stuck at 20% in "Set-up is Formatting"..any ideas how to fix my problem?

Thanks...

Does the same problem occur if you select "NTFS (Quick)" format option? Regular format is very slow because it performs a surface scan, although it still shouldn't get stuck in one place - this could indicate an I/O error but you say the same happens with another hdd, so it doesn't make much sense. While formatting, CD is not read, so burning had nothing to do with it.
See if you have better luck with Easeus Partition Master (https://mega.co.nz/#!OUMDyCwT!PIUkrkgv7hHYQELKcMQSYNvuKNag5VETFV3YMQRaOKo).

Yes, i selected the "Quick" NTFS Format,i even deleted the old partition and created a new one but it still stuck at 20% at "Set up is Formatting"..what i'm thinking is that it was a hard drive problem (bad sectors).But some also says that it must be some BIOS setting (which i have no idea what to set). :-[    But just to clarify things,i don't have to set anything in the BIOS before Installing Mr.Maher's May Update of Windows XP right?
Title: Re: Windows XP Support
Post by: humbert on July 03, 2014, 03:26 AM
wallofasgard -> You said C: and D: - are you needing 2 partitions on your first hard drive? If not, then forget about D: for now, we can deal with that later.

I don't see how the BIOS could be to blame either. They've been auto detecting for quite while now. To rule out any possibility the BIOS is at fault, you could boot into it and set everything to default.

Why not grab a copy of Hirens boot CD, do some tests on the HD, and even attempt to create a new partition and quick-format it for NTFS.

Yes,i need at least two partitions just for my files to be safe (in D partition) if something goes bad in the future...like formatting the "C" again...

Sigh...maybe the hard drive itself is defective since it takes too long to detect it upon boot...sometimes it stucks at 20% at "Set up is Formatting" and sometimes it don't and if it don't it will hang again at "Copying Files" at random percentage.

3 hours ago,i somehow managed to complete the OS installation using Mr.Maher's May update...i thought my problem was solved but when my OS starts,it hangs at Windows/system32/drivers/mup.sys.  :(

I bought this Seagate 500gb HDD yesterday and later i will go back to them let them test it  and ask for replacement if necessary. ;)

Will update you later guys about the results.Thanks for the replies. :)

Hello again,

I'm sorry but i think what i'm going to ask is a little bit off topic and i don't know  what will be the right section for my question but here it is:

You see,after the successful installation of Mr.Maher's WinXP May update,everything is working just fine (i think).But i noticed that something weird is happening...especially with my hosts file (Windows>system32>drivers>etc>hosts.

I am using my hosts file to block some sites,i am using this method for several years already and i'm not having a single problem except now.The example of the site that i am blocking is the SKYPE update which is "127.0.0.1 ui.skype.com". I'm doing that because i want to keep that specific version i'm using.

Upon adding "127.0.0.1 ui.skype.com" to hosts file,setting the hosts file to read only and restarting the PC and testing the Skype Application,my problem occur.

If i type the address ui.skype.com on my search bar,it will NOT connect (it must be like that).But when i open my Skype,it wont let me log-in saying that i am using the old version and i need to update (how could that be?).There is an update button in the Skpye UI but after i click it,it says it cannot establish connection to the update server (because ui.skype.com is blocked by my hosts file).

I am using hosts file years already but now i am wondering,what is wrong with my hosts file now? It successfully block the sites (according to search bar) but it somehow connect to that site.

Another example is the IDM hosts file block method...it is completely not working for me even if i did a clean uninstallation (even deleting all registry entries of IDM)

Can you guys give me an idea how to solve my problem?

So please help me guys, or post a link which describes it clearly in step wise method.

I have another question: does this xp gives the option of formatting&/or deleting and creating a new partition from/of a drive? And my other drives remain untouched or this will format my whole drive?

Well, I guess Maher, Ahmad or iih could easily answer this, but they are obviously not there. There is a simple solution to make a sfx with office2010, and you should search on google, but I'm still wondering if there is a easy solution to register it silently.
Note that since office2007 it's not possible anymore to delete some parts of the installer as the files are digitally signed, making lighter software like libreoffice some real alternatives.

Do you think it is somehow related as to why my hosts file is not working properly?Should i adjust the priority values to this:

DnsPriority = 30
  LocalPriority = 200
  HostsPriority = 75
  NetbtPriority = 100

What this will do is change the Domain Name Resolution order to the following sequence:

    Domain Name System
    Hosts file
    Netbios Mappings
    The Local Computer Name

or not?  :-[

Fuj-  The problem about Skype is that i can't disable the auto update if i'm not logged in (this is the freshly installed XP from Boss Maher by the way  :)) )... i'm a bit nervous about Skype's upcoming versions since it may not be compatible to XP anymore...that's why i need to block it permanently using just the host file (which i'm doing since).

Also,about the IDM...i am using the hosts file method to register it.I am avoiding .exe patch method as much as possible.For several years already,host file method is working for me...but now it won't...it keeps on saying the Fake Serial ,IDM is exiting. :-[

As for IDM - software changes, you can't expect the same method to work forever.

I'm with Fuj's opinion about that.

Regarding IDM, there is nothing wrong with your host file because this happened with me either.
It seems that they made newer versions of IDM capable of detecting that.

Every time I install a new IDM I also get the strange error message about a fake serial number. That goes away after applying the patch. There is no need to put in a new serial number. I've been doing this for quite a while and I've never had a problem. It's been ages since I've altered the hosts file.

You're saying if you altered the hosts file there would be no need to apply the patch? Hmm.. Can anyone copy and paste the lines in the hosts file that work?

I've played around with all these downloaders and so far I haven't found anything that works as well as IDM. Honestly I think Flashgot is unnecessary, unless you know of a function that can't be done with IDM alone. Let me know if there is one.

I use "down-them-all" in Firefox for Linux only because there is no IDM for Linux. There's just no comparison - IDM wins hands down.

Hello, I'm attempting to install a version that was on here a few days ago with md5: c09028d55c5c0dd3343c1cd72c9ac07f

I'm actually trying to install to bootcamp partition on my mac through USB.  So I use WinToFlash to load the image to my USB, and enter setup. If I choose GUI mode, I get a HAL.dll error, if I choose Text mode, setup continues fine, eventually complains about a visual basic dll, so I skip it, and it finishes, and reboots, all good.

However, on the second boot, if I try to boot from the USB again I get the message "Windows could not start because of a computer disk hardware configuration problem .... ", previously I had gotten simply a "disk error" message (when I tried it once before with a FAT32 formatted USB stick, this time I used FAT16 as someone recommended...).  This is a bit over my head I'm afraid.  Why is it booting fine for the first part of the install, but complaining after I boot the second time? Here is the boot.ini on the usb flash, I'm afraid I don't really know how what it is trying to do.

[Boot Loader]
Timeout=30

Perhaps a mac forum would be more suitable to find an answer. In the meantime, if you want to use xp without screwing your boot, a virtual machine could be an interesting option.

xp wont run using bootcamp is because of GPT partition because xp only sees MBR.
Only hope is w7/w8.x through bootcamp.
As scarface said VM is way to go.

It's raining here, this is a sad and grey day. I'm working, in front of my computer, looking desperately outside the window, perhaps searching a kind of inspiration. The period is calm, there is not a lot of work in the meantime, August being traditionally the off-peak period for the firms.

I finally came on the forum. Yet there is not a lot of people here.
I sought some information on bootcamp and it seems bootcamp 4 is not compatible with xp any more. However Yocto has to know that he can find a version of windows 7 on the forum too.

@Vasudev -> at least on my motherboard it's possible to disable GPT. I did this when I installed Windows 8 and 8.1 to prevent it from creating those strange partitions. Naturally after the installation I restored GPT.

As for moving messages to another topic, I looked into that but I'm not seeing how to do it. Among the options available to me as a moderator, that one isn't on there. One day I'll ask the chief, or maybe Ahmad might know.

@Humbert -> GPT is not like UEFI. GPT is more like MBR with addition functionality like CRC,128 partitions etc and it is not like filesystem such as ntfs,fat32,hpfs etc but gpt/mbr lays a foundation for different filesystem.
only way to change between gpt/mbr is format ur whole disk and not applicable to single partitions.

UEFI is the BIOS. It happens that boards with UEFI BIOSes also support the newer partitioning system called GPT. As I recall, when I first tried to install Windows 8.1 on my system, it insisted on installing several separate partitions on the drive. To prevent this, I booted into the BIOS and disabled GPT and re-enabled it when everything was said and done. At least that's what I think I did.

Do you have multiple drives ?
Title: Re: Windows XP Support
Post by: humbert on September 01, 2014, 01:43 AM
Check this out. After reading this thread I decided to investigate regarding my partitions and I noticed they were all MBR. Having read that GPT was a better mousetrap, I decided to do some googling to see if they could be converted over. Almost everyone recommended AOMEI Partition Assistant, saying this proggie could convert the disks to GPT with no data loss. I did a torrent search and found a working copy. This is the best thing I've seen for managing partitions. It flawlessly converted my drive C (SSD) and drive D (HDD). I'm surprised how much faster it is. Windows boots up in about 5 seconds on my SSD with GPT, and it reads drive D much faster. For some reason it would not convert my removable USB 3.0 drive, saying there wasn't enough space on it despite the the fact there's plenty of space. I have to get ahold of someone to find out why.

One thing - once you convert your drive C, power down the computer before booting up. After my conversion C wouldn't boot, so it occurred to me to shut off the power. That worked. If you're running Windows 7 or higher and your board has a UEFI BIOS, I strongly recommend this.

I am certain that I am not he only one with this problem.  I install WMP manually every time but it would be nice to have one less thing to think about. Also if program is available it should be the latest version like it is done with IE which is also waste of disc space.

Well I would like to tell you I am not wanting WMP 11 for media playing purpose, I need it for the features it provides that are not provided by any other media player like drivers for media devices like my new android phone.
Yes there are some apps available but why will u fill ur pc with some useless apps just for one thing when it is already available in ur OS.

And I also don't like tweaking softwares they are just junk the features they provide can be done without them you just need to learn the other way by internet.

Well I m not the only one who likes WMP11 there are many netizens who like it even when powerful media players like potplayer, kmp,gom,bs,mpc xbmc etc etc. are present. And also I prefer potplayer & MPC over vlc

I can understand you'd want WMP installed because some other players depend on its engine. What I don't understand is what does WMP have to do with Android. And what's this about drivers for Android? You don't need them. All you do is enable USB debugging and plug the device into the computer with a USB cable. Windows will immediately create an ADB bridge that'll allow you to transfer files back and forth seamlessly. Naturally I refer to Windows 7 or higher, I don't know if you can do this with XP. I know this well because I have 3 Android devices.

Post by: DkC on April 01, 2015, 02:09 AM
Hi good people.

I'm running into some problems installing Windows XP.

I left the first phase to install overnight and at some point around 95%, there was a copy error. Unfortunately, I can't remember what the filename was as I was half-asleep, but I do remember skipping it for whatever reason. (msvcm.**??? Vaguely remember it.)
Now, the first phase presumably finished as it had rebooted, and then it automatically chose the 2nd option. In which it simply is a black/blank screen. I've left it for around 30 minutes but still no luck. So then I rebooted and opted for the first option. It then loads the files but gets stuck on "Setup is starting windows". I had also tried to choose the debug option, but it blurts out a disc(0)partition(0)/BOOTxxxx.xxx  (I don't remember very well, I'm still letting the black screen be in hopes that it'll start up at some point)

It's my first time to install a Windows XP OS, and I'm not exactly well-experienced in installing OS'es either. Hopefully I can atleast attempt a reinstall(which I also am not too certain on how to do). I have searched the forums with all my poor searching skills can get me. I could not find anyone who have had the same problem as I.

MD5 check passed.

I would be grateful for any kind of help with this problem. Thanks!

Edit: Just clarified some possible points of misunderstanding.

@scarface

Thanks for the quick reply.  :D
Could you walk me through the process or link me to a tutorial of some sorts?

I don't know how to put .cab files in .isos. Do I use PowerISO and put it in via there? I don't believe I can use the free version to edit ISOs though.



Update: I managed to restart the installation after rebooting a couple of more times. I'll wait for the error again and download the file as you have suggested. Thanks.  :)

Edit:
I have managed to search the forums for the file I was missing. It was mvsbvm50.dll, and I saw someone have the same issue as I have. However, he has managed to install on the second phase(GUI Installation) properly. I also searched the internet for what the purpose of this DLL file is and it's supposed to be for Visual Basic. Not sure how this affects my installation(I'm thinking it shouldn't).
~ I get a black screen for a really long time when I launch the 2nd phase. Is it supposed to take long? I've left it for roughly 30 minutes before giving up before the reinstall. Should I just wait it out? Thanks.

Yea, sorry being so n00b. :( I've never installed an OS before.

Before anything else, I'm sorry for double-posting. I am aware it is well frowned-upon in like every forum out there. The former post was just starting to get cluttered and it was getting on my nerves.
One last post before I go to sleep.

Additional Info:

So after the initial Text install(Step 1), wherein the only problem I had ran into was a missing mvsbvm50.dll file(I skipped it as suggested somewhere earlier this topic), ...

I am experiencing the following problems:

After a few reboots, the PC is now not even loading BIOS so I'm thinking the hardware finally gave in.(Probably the motherboard) Not sure where the exact problem is, but if it is a hardware problem, then there is definitely no way I'm keeping this Desktop. :'(

Anyway, sorry for the trouble. I'll try again later in the morning to see if it will boot up the BIOS again.
Thanks scarface for your reply to my initial post/inquiry.

Edit: Yep, my motherboard is most likely busted. >.> Really sorry for the trouble guys. I guess the Hardware Configuration Problem was indeed a hardware problem in this case(Is it..?).

@DkC - Seems like it's time to trash the old clunker. I'm under the impression you don't really need a speed demon. If so it won't be very expensive. On your new system forget about XP, install at least Windows 7. Personally I prefer Windows 8.1 - many people don't like it but quite honestly after running Windows 7 for 4 years and Windows 8(and 8.1) since it first came out, I strongly believe 8.1 is the way to go.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I've already decided to get a new Desktop PC. This fella had been with me for around 5-6 years already, I think it's about time I let it rest.

@Humbert
Thanks Humbert, while I don't need a speed demon, I'd like one. :3 I don't have the money for one though. I will get a new Desktop PC soon and will take your advice and install Windows 7 instead.

Though, random question, does Windows 8.1 take up less system resources than Windows 7? Also, I've heard rumors about incompatible software. Windows 8 has been around for a while and I am aware that some kind of controversy surrounded the OS when it first came out(Mainly with the missing start button), but I've only heard about newer systems(higher specs) having it, so I can't really evaluate it by that standard alone.

How will it run on a Intel Core 2 Duo and around 4GB of RAM? Is it also 64-bit by default or is there a 32-bit version? Thanks for the answers.

My experiences is that Windows 8 is lighter and faster than Windows 7. I don't personally like Windows 8 mainly because of gestures, and that stuff is app based. It's very personal, but it surely does boot a lot faster than Windows 7. I am also not a fan of the sharp edges in Windows 8 c:

@gujjar -> You're confused. Many times on the forum I've said that a very valid excuse for keeping XP is because you're stuck with an old computer and an upgrade is financially impossible. DkC concluded - and many of us agreed - that (s)he was dealing with a hardware problem, in this case an old board that was probably defective. Based on that assumption I suggested a hardware upgrade was the best thing to do, all the while emphasizing that, while certainly getting a speed demon is nice, in his case it might not really be necessary.

@DkC - Windows 8.1 has virtually no learning curve. The start screen is the best thing MS ever came out with and infinitely easier to use than the old start menu. All you do is tap the Windows Key once and click a tile. I also strongly agree with Shadow - 8.1 is leaner and meaner than 7 any day of the week. I should know, I ran both for years. Also, I virtually guarantee you'll have no hardware incompatibility issues with your new system on 8.1, even if it's not a speed demon.

@DkC - Did you ever get the old clunker to work on XP?

Hi Maher

I have tried your copy of Windows. It works perfectly well. Just install a fresh copy with Avast Free AV (My favourite Antivirus program) but it is a bit slow. I have many friends still using Windows XP although its support has ended (Not really).

I am downloading your Windows 7 ultimate.

Thanks..... :)

Well Humbert, for a die-hard nokia s60/s40 user; Lumia is the top dog and in all aspects Android or iOS wins over Windows Phone because of large user base & apps. Battery life is worse after 8.1 denim update but under light usage I get 4 days of battery life on single charge; Whilst extreme gfx intensive game it lasts for mere 6-7hrs.

The reason I love Nokia is their cameras are usually in a whole different class. It's like Wow, just wow. Appwise, it's kinda horrible, and functionwise .. dont know never really used one, a guy in my class is a diehard nokiafan and he keeps going on how its all so good, but every good function feels like they're limited to the US or UK or something..

As I see it, if Lumias have only one advantage over the other guys (the camera) AND you're an avid photographer, you're probably better off getting an Android or iOS phone and buying a digital camera separately.

Trust me, the start screen is the best thing there is and better than the start menu in every way. If you want to launch a program, simply hit the Windows key once and click a tile - as simple as that! Not only that, but the start screen is highly configurable. You can add tiles, remove them, resize them, put them into groups, turn live tiles on and off, etc. etc. -- AND if you can't find your tile, simply start typing and it'll appear. Just try doing this with the start menu! Also - don't let people tell you this is very related to the hated Metro interface. I have NO Metro apps and it works perfectly.

I've read that MS is bringing back the start menu in Windows 10. Fortunately they left us the option of disabling it and using the start screen instead. It's probably the first thing I'm planning to do when I install Windows 10.

Sorry, I won't go through the trouble. This has been the third time I've experienced this type of problem with a Desktop System. Last two times it happened we brought it to a repair shop and it had the same diagnosis. I don't remember the details but it was something to do with the motherboard and the power system. After a bit of research, I'm assuming that that is SMPS.

What would be helpful is to find out what causes such problems, because before this present case, the problem had simply randomly happened. Just one day, much like any other, the system just stops booting. I'd love to know what I have to do to prevent it. Though if it's just a cause of a really old system, then it can't be helped I guess.


@humbert

That sounds pretty amazing. A customizable Start Menu would simply be just great. I probably won't need something like Rocketdock anymore if that is the case. I like having my desktop devoid of any icons and just leave the Recycling Bin there after all. :3

Exactly right! No more icons cluttering your desktop, no more hard to find links and no more launchers. One tap of the Windows key and there you are, tiles big as life and configured to your preferences. Once you get Windows 8.1 installed, if you have any questions I'll walk you through it.

I am firmly convinced beyond any doubt that those people who insist in bringing back the start menu don't know how to use the start screen and, still worse, don't bother to learn it. They criticize without knowing what they're talking about. I'll debate this with anybody.

Thanks, Humbert. I have no idea when I'll be getting a new system though. So far, this laptop has managed to work with me for quite a while. I still personally like working with a desktop though, not really a single clue why. I just don't have enough money to buy a new desktop(I can't easily find part time jobs here where I live).

I also used to ride that bandwagon about Windows 8's Start Menu(Especially when it was still Windows 8.0). Well more or less as that died down when Windows 8.1 came out, I also more or less opened up to trying Windows 8. Though, I am also guessing that most of the "hate" that was directed at Win8.0 was mostly about it's compatibility issues as well. Well, anyway, Thanks again, Humbert.
Title: Re: Windows XP Support
Post by: humbert on April 13, 2015, 04:46 AM
Of course a desktop is the way to go! The best way to do anything on a computer is to sit comfortably in your chair facing a big screen an working with a comfortable keyboard and mouse, not to mention having everything you need right there at your desk. The reason we use laptops at all is because of the need to move around. You can't exactly carry a desktop from one room to another, let alone to somebody else's house.

If you're looking for a desktop it shouldn't be so expensive because of the fact that you can simply buy the parts and assemble it. If you're lousy at assembling (as I am), no problem, many places that sell computers will assemble it for you for a nominal charge. You can also upgrade the parts later if you want. And don't forget - you don't exactly need a Core i7-5960 or similar.

After playing around with Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 for several years, in all honestly I find no justfication for any complaints about Windows 8 or 8.1. For me it works great, it's very stable and leaner than Windows 7. Also - blaming Metro is a groundless excuse. I hate Metro also and I use none of their apps, and still the OS works great despite using 100% "desktop" apps. And as you know I'm in love with the start screen - it's a marvel of technology!

How many fans does your case have? Also, did you check that the fans on the graphics card and CPU are working?

As you know, I have 2 graphic cards in SLI plus the heat-generating FX-8350 cpu as well as 2 case fans. My system also heats up during gaming but it keeps on going.

0 case fans. CPU & GPU fans are running, infact the s/m is running and I can hear music being played on itunes. What I observed from MSI AB temp reading is that, the problem occurs when my gpu hits 68C. I need to confirm whether my gpu is dead or not.
Because  its 6 y.o. and it can latest games on medium to high settings w/o any hiccups.
If gpu is dead, I'll buy a new PC when AMD ZEN comes out or will go for the APU way.

Is there any way you can put fans on your case? You don't need to be an engineer to understand that the heat emitted by the CPU and graphics card fans can't just stay inside the case and must be vented out. On my case when putting my fingers near the fans, if I'm reading and posting messages on Maher's forum all you feel is a slight breeze, but when playing a game it's a blast of hot air.

Well, Humbert I'm a engineer and if I add a case fan you'll see a computer with lot of cables instead of components. My case is smaller than ur case probably half your size. Even the side panels is  opened to increase airflow and there's no progress.

Yes I'm hoping to graduate as an "engineer".  Specialty is computer science. But here, computer science only teaches(confined to) only software and not hardware. I'm interested in h/w not in s/w. For the same reason, I started opening my lappies and desktop to get knowledge about building a pc and diagnose for faults etc.
Yes it is hard to find a job in India. If I use quality components to build a pc it would take 5-6 month's salary. Toughest part in getting a job here, is to clear the aptitude round  which is my weak spot.

Fundamentally, I'm like Piero san Giorgio, I think that there will be no more progress in the future, and above all that we have already reached some limits. For cars or computers, there is practically no more evolution. And the supercomputers are only a bunch of computers working together. But with the current depletion of oil, copper, phosphate, gold, I'm afraid we might need people working in the fields, and not unproductive workers or geriatric deadwood.

Sure, me too. There's just one thing. XP "officially" died on April 8 2014. The updates by microsoft after that date are just another one of their bullshit lies: "recieve critical security updates for a small fee(hence M$) and stay safe on our old *** operating system". I'm not saying XP wasn't good, it really WAS a decent operating system. This infinite "updating", however, is ABSOLUTE bullshit! If somebody wants to "hack you", he/she will simply "hack you" without giving a single flying f**k about how "updated" your XP is. These updates are POINTLESS and I'm actually glad Maher stopped integrating them into XP. Just slap the Jan2015 iso on a USB/CD and stick with that for old *** AthlonXP/Pentium 4 machines(which should've died out by now, atleast 80% of them). And, ofcourse, after installing XP on a machine, immediately disable updates. Let it run fresh! There's no point in beating a dead horse, so to speak.

I share this same exact opinion but over the years since win7 came out I've encountered whole armies of tin-foil-on-the-head geeks who always say stuff like "only fools say "newer=better"" of "MS is spying on you, stay on XP or u get h4x0r3d".
In any case, as far as I've read(don't quote me on this), XP x64 is known to be kind of buggy on the compatibility side. So, crazy or not, I wouldn't install XP x64 under absolutely no circumstances when a newer OS with much better memory management and compatibility is available.
Title: Re: Windows XP Support
Post by: humbert on September 09, 2015, 06:58 AM
I think the simple fact that almost nobody ever used XP x64 is proof enough that this incarnation of XP is garbage. 64-bit hardware existed long before Windows 7 x64 appeared on the scene.

I believe the idea that "only fools say "newer=better" comes from the fact that when something new is released it's usually buggy. Often times the bugs are fixed, and if the OS is so bad that they can't all be fixed then it's usually discontinued (e.g., Vista & Windows ME). There's also a learning curve for new stuff. It's much easier to take the path of least resistance and say "this is garbage" as opposed to trying to learn something news and dealing with whatever bug they run into.

That update addresses Internet Explorer issues and I doubt you're using IE. Just disable updates completely and enjoy XP while it's still worth something. No need to install any more updates. As I've said in the past, no windows update can protect you from what's coming to you. If someone wants to compromise your PC security, they'll just do it no matter how up-to-date your XP is.

That update addresses Internet Explorer issues and I doubt you're using IE. Just disable updates completely and enjoy XP while it's still worth something. No need to install any more updates. As I've said in the past, no windows update can protect you from what's coming to you. If someone wants to compromise your PC security, they'll just do it no matter how up-to-date your XP is. Stop being paranoid.

Oh i got that, just wondering if that update could broke my activation/genuine somehow (like KB971033 to win 7) anyhow thanks for your reply

It's best to use ONLY if you're stuck with an old computer with no possibility of upgrading. On newer systems XP is virtually unusable. Also,  newer versions of Windows become "simple & easy" wheh you sit down and learn them.

uhm old music game like o2jam, the emulator can only play on XP and not newer system, few others can play on newer system, but it is not optimized.
but I guess most of you don't play that...
anyway, since I can't install XP on my new pc as well, I will just play on my old one occasionally.
actually I just need to know about the ACPI issue when installing XP on this pc because it won't let me to do it .

The message is as below:
STOP: 0x000000A5 (Parameter1, Parameter2, Parameter3, Parameter4)
The ACPI Bios in this system is not fully compliant to the specification. Please read the Readme.txt for possible workarounds, or contact your system vendor for an updated bios.

The bios in this system is not fully ACPI compliant. Please contact your system vendor for an updated bios. If you are unable to obtain an updated bios or the latest bios supplied by your vendor is not ACPI compliant, you can turn off ACPI mode during text mode setup. To do this, simply press the F7 key when you are prompted to install storage drivers. The system will not notify you that the F7 key was pressed--it will silently disable ACPI and allow you to continue your installation."
The parameters Parameter1, Parameter2, Parameter3, and Parameter4 vary from computer to computer.

I have visited microsoft website about this issue, just wanted to know is there any consequence if I disable the ACPI HAL?
Thanks for answering =)

Wait a second. You're trying to put XP on this thing? Are you out of your mind? Listen and listen well -- XP is ancient and is not equipped to handle today's hardware. Even writing XP drivers for this thing is a waste of time. Just for starters, look at your RAM and see that almost all of it is wasted - XP can't see it.

If you MUST run XP, then my suggestion is to download VMWare or Virtual Box and run it as a virtual machine. Your primary OS should be Windows 7 at the very least, although I personally recommend 10. Believe me, you have plenty of horsepower to run several copies of XP or anything else.

As far as I know MS, after intense pressure, did indeed release an XP patch for WannaCry. I don't think they'll be releasing any more patches, let alone upgrades. XP is an ancient operating system whose time is gone. The only people who should be using it are those who are stuck with an ancient computer (15 years or older) that can't run Windows 7 or higher, and it is financially impossible for them to upgrade. Other than that there is no reason to keep running XP.

XP was a great operating system in it's day. The problem is it's almost 20 years old and not suitable for today's hardware. If you never intend to upgrade then I assume you're planning to keep your old computer until the day you die.

Its better choice since Meltdown and spectre aren't affected on P4s.
Intel decision is to buy new hardware with in silicon fixes and recommends everyone to buy one.

Yes sir. I am with you, and all those who like XP and still use it are also with you. The best Microsoft ever made. Don't be intimidated by scare mongers and their ilk. XP is perfectly safe to use. Here is a link that XP detractors don't want you to see. Remember to click on all the links in this article that appear in blue. There is much interesting information there.

XP was an excellent operating system in its day. Unfortunately it's obsolete and essentially useless with today's computers. Keep in mind you can upgrade an operating system only up to a point. After that it must be rewritten from scratch. The only people who should continue with XP are those with very old systems and an upgrade is financially impossible.

I'm running Windows 10 and it runs very well. I also ran Windows 8 and 8.1 until 10 arrived and honestly I've never had a problem. Did you attempt to run it on a very old system or what?

Now I understand why you said Windows 8 sucks. In reality it doesn't suck, it was never intended for this ancient system. Even the 32bit version is going to give you trouble. Stick with XP until it's possible for you to upgrade.

How old (or new) is this hardware? Are these drivers even available for download anywhere? If it's too new I doubt they'd be wasting their developers time in writing drivers for an old, outdated OS like XP.

No need for a serial key.
I installed this and the OS seems to be running OK. But I keep getting a message saying that some Windows System Files have been changed and asking me to insert an XP CD to correct the issue. What can I do about this.

Hi Janet.
Maybe you can try to send a pm to shhnedo, we haven't seen him for a while (last active on September 11 2018).
Or you can try to do it yourself: If I remember well, you have to tinker with sfc_os.dll for this kind of message. You'll find here how to do that: https://msfn.org/board/topic/110834-disable-xp-sfcwfp-works-with-sp3/

If it's too difficult, you can do it with nlite on shhnedo's OS by patching sfc_os.dll. But you'll have to reinstall it then.

Post by: scarface on October 05, 2019, 07:31 PM
To Janet:
Here is a patched sfc_os.dll for xp sp3: https://ufile.io/burh8n3d
You can take it and replace your own file to solve the problem.

Many Thanks for your support. I am a little worried about this message, whether windows system files have actually been changed. If that is so, shouldn't those files be replaced with genuine windows system files? I have no idea how this can be done. What does the patch you have very kindly sent me actually do, when it is installed or run?

The DLL sfc_os.dll is partially responsible for Windows File Protection, a series of threads running within winlogon.exe.
If you replace the original dll with this one, you will disable Windows file protection. You can't execute it since it's not an executable file.
You will find more information here: http://showcase.netins.net/web/giftitems/ADVANCED/10_Windows%20File%20Protection_66.htm
And I don't know why you have unsigned files. For this you can ask shhnedo.

Hi scarface,

I downloaded the patch file. The OS is working fine so I will go ahead and replace the current file with the patched one. I will in any case send a PM to shhnedo and ask him about this. Thank you for solving my problem  :)

Well, good for you if it's working. I guess your computer is pretty old to run windows xp.
This error was quite common formerly. As far as Shhnedo is concerned, I don't know what became of him.
The forum lost many experienced users and the registrations have been closed for months. In this context, only a few regular users are still writing on the forum. At least there are no spammers.
Some users blamed me for deleting a few messages. I'm sure they wouldn't have deleted some obsolete messages themselves, it's too tedious. They must be resting on their laurels, but I'm sure some of them are still reading the forum.

Apparently, you can still get it with this link: http://uploaded.net/file/eoe25jxz/X32.040215.rar
But it is the latest version. I don't see the point in getting the June 2011 edition that would be outdated. If this is what you need, you can try to send him a pm. Note that if you have something important to tell him, or if you want to make a donation, you can also try to contact humbert. I think I still have Maher's phone number if it is urgent.
Title: Re: Windows XP Support
Post by: Janet on December 08, 2019, 08:44 PM
Thank you for your help. I prefer to get the June 2011 edition because I have used it and it is very clean and a pleasure to use. Also, it is simple enough to be personalized the way I like. Unfortunately, I have lost that CD.

The question of being outdated does not arise. Contrary to what is generally believed, Microsoft automatic update servers for XP are very much active. I know this because I have updated two re-installations of XP within the last month.

The moment I opened 'Microsoft Update' from my new installation, it did a quick scan and offered all updates missing from my installation, up to April 2014. That's not all. When I did the 'POS Ready' trick, it gave me all updates right up to August 2019! This is in spite of Microsoft's announcement at the beginning of this year, that there will be no more POS Ready updates after April 2019. This is amazing but that's how it is.

In fact, the update servers were never shut down, even though every one was saying they were off the air. But I never expected them to be still working after the announcement from MS at the beginning of this year, that they will no longer be available after April. So it was a big surprise to me when, a minute after I opened my new installation, the "Updates are available" icon appeared magically in my XP task bar.

In any case, I have no problem with any old XP. Even if MS servers fail me, I have carefully saved and stored all updates that were ever published for XP.

I would very much like to have Mr. Maher's phone number. Perhaps you can send me a PM.

Kind regards.

Bear in mind that Maher is in palestine. He might not be waiting for your call. If I were you I would send a private message.
What's more, I don't see the point in asking him a old version of windows xp since a new one is available on the forum.
In all likelihood, he doesn't have this version any longer.

I think Maher's edition of xp is very clean. Therefore, it's not needed to use an untouched version (and in this case, I don't know if it's useful to ask him the "June 2011 edition").


Note that this year, I'll be probably alone for Christmas. If you are a vip of the forum, and if you want to come to Clermont Ferrand for some time between 12/23 and 01/05, I can give you shelter and food (I can go to the airport of Lyon to take you). And if you are inviting me somewhere, I will think about it.

The whole concept of nostalgia is incompatible with the pace at which technology advances, not to even mention planned obsolence. If you're running XP on an old machine and all you do is browse the web, read email, write letters, or something basic, I think you're probably better off trashing XP and installing a 32bit distro of Linux. Check out Mint -- it's interface isn't all that different from XP.

What brand did you get. I got Phizer-Biontech. Here in America all you need to do is go online and make an appointment at one of the many places offering it. You don't pay anything, the government pays for it. As of today's date 52% of our people have had at least 1 shot with 42% fully vaccinated. The country is slowly opening up, new cases and deaths have fallen tremendously. Honestly I do not understand the mentality of these people who refuse to get vaccinated if the vaccine is available and free.

Hello and welcome. As about your question - it depends on what model of notebook you are using. On most notebooks from built at 2000-2010 this function can be disabled in BIOS. Also, you can find a representaion of touchpad hardware in Control panel->Device Manager, and disable it (right click on it, select properties, there select Driver tab and click "Disable device").

My parents both got their first jab, but I'm still kind of far away in the order.

My plan was to visit my family in September and attend a wedding. At this rate, I will most likely not go due to not being vaccinated.

What is the availability of vaccines in Ireland? Is it difficult for you to get a jab? Despite the fact that your chances of dying from Covid are slim to none, getting a vaccine is a good idea. At least you have the necessary paperwork.

I would have to wait the designated time between the jabs in Sweden, and as there isnt a vaccine pass, that allows you to skip quarantine it's not really helpful sadly.

Vaccination rate is currently slow, 70+ is being vaccinated currently in Ireland, as well as people in risk groups.
40 to 69 are currently able to register for their vaccine, but to my understanding isn't being vaccinated just yet.
https://www2.hse.ie/screening-and-vaccinations/covid-19-vaccine/rollout/

Total doses given 3.1M
People fully vaccinated 515K
% fully vaccinated 10.5%
Total population 4.9m
Something feels off about it, because I havnt heard of anyone getting the jab yet.


This is half % of swedens fully vaccinated(22%), the US&UK has 44% according to https://ourworldindata.org/covid-vaccinations?country=OWID_WRL
According to google, that is a safe source. You get the map by typing 'vaccination ireland' in the search field
France is at 21% according to that site.


We were informed yesterday that we will move to primarily work from home in the future, and they will review the decision in August.
They have terminated the lease for the building, and we have to pick up our stuff before that.

As you guys might know, I am driven by comfort in many ways. That includes, having a lot of food, and comfort items near me at all times.
Bringing all that stuff from work will be.. Interesting :)
For example, a full size keyboard, cleaning products, a boxes of food, paper towels, kitchen knife, desk mousepad etc.
Kitchen knife is not allowed. So I'll have to hide it when emptying my large drawers  ;D
I got one side drawer, around 0.5m x 1m x desk height, and a 1m x 1m x 30cm drawer.
Both filled.

Hoping I get to keep the monitors and all that. Would be really nice.

I'm on FX-8350 and 32 Gb of RAM (didn't upgrade my PC yet). I'm not argue with you, you're purely correct that today XP is an anachronism. But, I think that when we need to run old soft, using an old OS on old hardware is a good solution for this.

Don't worry -- the possibility that healthy young guys like yourselves will have a severe case of Covid are slim to nonexistent. Probably you're worst problem will be to put up with restrictions. Relax, be patient and don't give it much thought.

No :) Never will. It would be too mentally and physically challenging to do.
I dont have the energy to do it.
Wish I did at times as it's been on my mind since I was in daycare.

But then again; you can supress most feeling, emotions, wants and needs in life. As long as you avoid thinking of it.
Closest people in my life is aware of it, but it's not something I usually share. To me, I see it more as a mental illness than something that should require physical alterations. A perspective that has had me very hated when I've voiced it in real life :)

We are all your friends here. No matter what you decide we will support you without reservation. You are one of the finest people I've had the pleasure of knowing. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. BTW, in no way is this meant to belittle our other friends on the forum.

May I ask: Is your "condition" (for lack of a better word) tolerable? By this I mean can you continue with day to day life without having to put up with depression or an unsatiable desire to change genders that will not leave you in peace? Finally, sexually do you prefer women over men? I ask the question this way because I'm thinking in this situation the terms "gay" and "straight" are confusing.

Important: I realize all this is highly personal. We respect your privacy and will not think less of you for not answering. If you prefer you can answer me privately. Anything you tell me will be held in the strictest confidence.

Never knew Shadow moved to Ireland. I thought she was in Sweden.

Shadow is a HE :) - don't be misled by his avatar. I'm surprised you didn't pick this up earlier. He's been telling us about his job and life in Ireland in general for a while now.

I got my first jab on Wednesday. Got sore hands and shoulders.

What vaccine did you get? The side effects should have gone away by now.

I've been hearing on the news that the news concerning the availability of vaccines is dire. Based on what you told me I assume this is only in highly populated areas such as New Delhi and Mumbai.

BTW where (what city) in India do you live? You might have mentioned it before and I forgot. Let us know so I can look you up on Google maps.
Like Daniil said I thought Shadow switched *sides*. Then again Shadow's are gender-less anyway. In the end, genders are meaningless and the thing that matters the most is peace of mind and how content/satisfied you are with your life.
I got Covaxin. Now the soreness has reduced by 90%. I'm from Mangalore or Moodbidri to be very specific. Had to wait a long time though due to shortages!

Totally agree!!  :)

I googled it. They're saying it's 78% effective. Not as good as Phizer-Biontech or Moderna but certainly better than nothing. Tell me, what about others you know that got Covaxin? I'm asking because it says the vaccine has quite a number of side effects. I was wondering if it was just you or others too.

Indeed you're on Google maps, northeast of Mangalore. Let me ask - do they mostly speak Tamil there? I assume you speak both Tamil and Hindi as well as English. If so one thing I envy is that you can read and write 3 alphabets. I assume your keyboard can be easily configured for each one.

Indeed. We only have Covaxin (Below 45 yrs of age), AstraZenaca/Oxford has blood clots (45 yrs plus) and Sputnik. Only Covishield(Oxford) and Covaxin was available.
Not Tamil but Kannada and Tulu(Can understand but lacks conversing fluency). Since my native is Kerala I speak Malayalam as well in addition to English and Hindi(Not so fluent but I can understand).
I just English India 99% of the time as keyboard Input.

I can understand you have to take whatever you can get. With respect to Astra-Zeneca, the amount of blood clots reported are very small when you factor in the amount of vaccines distributed. My lady was vaccinated in Mexico and they had Astra-Zeneca. She is fine, no side effects.

Do all these languages use the same alphabet? I looked at Kannada and Malayalam and it looks as if alphabets are very similar but I'm not sure.

On the talks of which vaccines are used.

Ireland currently uses:
AstraZeneca (also known as 'Vaxzevria')
Moderna
Pfizer/BioNTech (also known as 'Comirnaty')
Janssen


Janssen is given by pharmacies to 50+ and druggies currently.
There was almost no information who the other vaccines are given to. Or in which priority/order. I'm assuming they are giving them as they come in.

My parents in Sweden got Pfizer. No side effects observed.

There is no option for Windows Vista in the "OS supported" setting. When will this be updated?
Were already working and testing with the beta versions.

I'm wondering if invory is not a "spammer". The message above doesn't make sense (no need to answer about windows Vista and "the beta versions"). What's more, the mail address of this user is listed in the spam emails of at least one forum...
If it's the case, I suggest deleting the messages of this user.

I wonder the same, but I also wonder about the users registration date.. Feels odd to have a 10 year old spam account.

I checked the listed skype email on https://haveibeenpwned.com/ and the amount of results was astounding for being a "real" email. It surely has to be a spam mail of some sort?

It's weird indeed.
Actually after the 1st message I already had doubts. It seemed unreal to ask for help for a duct tape dummy in exchange for a donation.
when looking for this email on google, it seems it registered to other forums in November 2012 too. What's more, it spent only 4 minutes online on the forum. It's a too short to write two messages, unless they were pasted.
Finally, the titles of the topic are "broken" each time in the answers of invory. The answer doesn't appear with the original title but with "-" each time. I did this with my current answer, and it looks weird on the homepage...

Spammers always post ads or links to products or services they want you to buy. They have something to gain when someone clicks, let alone buys into their garbage. In this regard Invory doesn't qualify. Why would anyone, human or bot, take the time to post stuff doesn't make any sense?

I say let's watch this human/bot a little longer before taking more drastic action.

As sinister as it may sound; AI training.
The idea was sparked in me by https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oppj9MdNf44


It could be that it makes vaguely comprehensible to spark debate and to make the poster look legitimate, and so that if one day it wants to spurt out propaganda it could without looking as shady. Or to use the replies as material in the training to comprehend what is being spoken about.


In all honesty. I vote for keeping the bot/person for now just to see what fun stuff will be posted about, as long as no clear malice/advertisment is being done.

I agree with Shadow's opinion as to Invory.

I'm not too familiar with AI. In order to spark a debate you at least need to be understood. If indeed Invory is an AI program then all he's achieved is a discussion among other users as to what to do with him
