I've been wanting to get an old P4 system of mine running Windows XP on the internet for quite some time. The thing is that I switched internet providers a while back that switched my internet security from WPA to WPA2 which I have not gotten it connected since. I know that there's an update for it but I forget which one that is, and I believe last time I tried that update it didn't do anything. But a redownload would be nice. As for a browser google has become somewhat unreliable for XP, even though I used it years after it was discontinued a better one would be great ..read more

So my windows xp’s sound wasn’t working, and I thought that the sound device on the motherboard wasn’t working, so I installed the X-Fi Xtreme sound card. Still no sound, so I went to the website and installed the files via usb (this pc has no internet) and when I try to open the control panel for it, it says that the device isn’t detected. It’s plugged in correctly (there’s no PCI-E port so it just goes into the motherboard) and I’ve cleaned the contacts with an alcohol swab. Still not working and I have no idea what to do ..read more

So I've been trying to get a machine up and running with windows xp. I got a new hard drive for it, but I failed to realize my copy of XP is meant to be an upgrade, and the hard drive for this one is completely brand new. Thing is, I don't have any copies of the actual windows xp os. Is it possible to get it onto my machine via usb flash drive? If so, how should I go about doing it ..read more

I have an old custom Windows XP computer that I built a while back and I recently put an Nvidia graphics card in it to boost its performance but I don't have a manager for it. The onboard graphics has its own manager installed but its made by VIA/S3G which is incompatible. I once did get a manager installed with this same card with Windows 7 but I can't remember where I got the manager from. Any links to download one would be appreciated. Also the specific card I have is an NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X ..read more

I've read several threads about this issue, but, unfortunately, none of them seem to have a clear solution. The machine in question is a circa 2013 Dell Precision M4700 Mobile Workstation (Laptop) that was, until a couple of months ago, running via Win 11. As this machine is now needed to run an old [but powerful] 32-bit media authoring utility that was written exclusively for Win XP, we initially attempted to create a clone copy of the Win 11 OS and the other applications on the machine. Long story short, this started a chain of events that lead to us to basically gut the machine by replacin ..read more

When adding drivers from the "Device Manager" in Windows 7 or Windows 10, I can select to include subfolders when specifying the location of the drivers. The "Device Manager" in Windows XP lacks this option to include subfolders and if I do not know which driver is missing, when specifying the location of the drivers, I must manually enter each path to the folder with drivers. I installed all the drivers, but I would prefer to have some external program or a way to take into account subfolders if I formatted the disk in the future or purchased a device with missing drivers. In the "system reg ..read more
