IMPORTANT: Windows Update no longer functions on Windows 2000. To update your windows 2000 in order to install the extended kernel, please follow this easy guide I made: ruclips.net/video/vdIVMwV9MCk/видео.html
are there any other options to start x86 Applications like games? I have install this packs like on your videos and i have Pentium 3 and so i disabled SS2 but If i restarted than its loading so long and if I want logged in then it comes an error that the user doesn't exisst anymore but why? Maybe I shouldn't disabled SS2? Or what solution you have to run my OS?
Hi man, I am just wondering. I did fully update my system and I installed the latest kernelex on your site v30? But I don't get any of those advanced options like disable SSE etc. I am running on a pentium 3. How can I even tell if KernelEx is installed? Thanks
The second best feature is NO ACTIVATING. Probably some day it isn’t even possible to activate Windows with the phone option. So for like retro PC’s we are forced to use a pirated Windows XP. But Windows 2000 can (theoretically) used in 100 years with the original CD.
I sent the Microsoft Sam song to you as a joke when you asked what music you should use in the video and you actually put it in... Lmao Nice vid as always
There are also a few post EOL updates that MS accidentaly released in update compilation ISOs. If I remember correctly, there are updated IE6 and DX9 components.
Very helpful clip, I configured my Opteron 180 based PC, 3GB DDR400, as in the clip and now now I'm watching this clip on Windows 2000. Also the OS runs a bit smoother after the updates.
Actually, most XP-compatible games run with the extended kernel (or not even, many just need an XInput DLL that is left out of the distribution for win2k plus a couple of XP DLLs). I have successfully run Tropico 4 and Democracy 3; GTA IV and Crysis are also known to work. Photoshop CS6 and Vegas Pro 10 (after renaming the error reporter exe) also work fully and do make use of all 12 threads in my workstation. Just be careful if you have something like a Nehalem CPU or above and standby in win2k. The OS stops sending HLT commands to the CPU after returning from standby and as such could get very hot (a Xeon X5670 running constantly at 77 C is bad news). I've tried RMClock and loading XP's CPU driver, nothing has worked. :'( but yeah, the music is good!!
@@I430VX hi, btw i used extended kernel and unofficial service pack 5.1 and firefox 44 works really good, i was able to install it thanks to both of them. Modern internet works really well to like it hen i go to youtube.com it shows the modern laypit and video plays and comments load only thing it doesnt let comment idk why the comment button just doesnt turn blue like it should, I also installed flash player 32 so i played so flash games in the meantime...
I have watched this video like 10 times in the past year, it was a very-well made video on real hardware which makes it even more exciting. Have you considered making a new updated one to reflect the Windows Update issues, as well as exploring websites and deeper benchmarking data? I have also heard of some universal kernels to emulate newer versions of Windows like Windows 10, not sure if there is anything legit/true there, but would be interesting to find out more about.
IMPORTANT: the extended kernel version 30 corrupts my system32 iched20.dll!! Many programs including VLC would not install until I replaced it with a riched20.dll from my windows XP installation! If you are getting installer crashes, or complaints about MSVCR90.DLL, you must replace the corrupted riched20.dll (dated july 2015) with one from a working 2000 or XP installation!
I cannot speak for your case of a corrupted riched20.dll, but in any other case, including any of my installs, errors about msvcr90.dll means you must install the Visual C runtime.
@@I430VX that is a good point, I thought that was the issue at first, but the Visual C 2008 installer (that you linked) also threw a MSVCR90.DLL error when I first tried it! I tried both with and without the compatibility launcher... but only patching riched20.dll allowed Visual C 2008 to install properly! Now that I think of it, I had installed 2000 from a 3rd party iso with all the updates slipstreamed, so maybe that had a corrupted riched20.dll rather than the extended kernel 🤔
For people with network cards that don’t support WPA2, like my case, I recommend LucidLink Wireless Client. Also, it may be best to mention that the password for the archive with FCWin2k is “kdwkdwkdw” without the quotes
i can't get my win 2000 online in any way ill try yours...even plugging directly the ethernet cable. I can see packets sent/received and I can ping but i cannot get any website to actually load. Legacy update can't connect to service. I have my DNS set to automatic but I dont know whats wrong with it. I have tried opera and nothing loads.
@@aikidoboynj yeah, after having needed to get my router exchanged by Spectrum their newer one has been giving me problems with the legacy Wi-Fi card inside my system. It’ll just hang the client for awhile before saying it was unsuccessful, ended up just backporting Windows 2000 onto a relatively newer system and although it required some more work to be done to get it all up and running I didn’t run into any problems after that.
It is, but mostly by virtue of being supported the longest. Of course XP was built on 2000 so you can think of it as Win2k with extra interwebs and media stuff.
If you want to use Windows 2000/XP as you main OS, maybe consider instead of installing it on modern hardware to install a lightweight Linux distro, installing VirtualBox, installing 2000 in a VM, and setting up Linux to automatically start the VM when the OS boots. This eliminates the trouble you'll have finding drivers for modern hardware.
The perfect build for a windows 2000 32bit pc would be (IMO): AMD FX-62 @3.0ghz (dual core), Nvidia GTX 7900 512MB, 2GB of the fastest ddr2 dual channel ram you can find and a 240gb ssd (a little cheat). With one such machine and a modern pc, you would have a way to play almost any game, either natively or through emulation/ virtual machines.
My main computer: Intel Core I5 3550 AMD Radeon HD 7850 12GB DDR3 For the GPU I used BlackWingCat's AMD Driver, foe sound I use an external USB sound card, for ethernet.... That was kind of a pain, so I had to install the Extended kernel and the extended kernel core, needed a help with a function in NDIS.Sys, and eventually I got it working, only things missing are Via HD Audio driver, Chipset driver and some USB 3.0 ports
Windows 2000 is incredible efficient. It's using around 50MB of RAM booted up (nothing running). And it's very stable (sp4). I don't know why today's Windows 10 need so much computer power to run.
Muchas gracias!!! , realmente hacia varios dias que estaba trabado con la instalacion wifi de mi W2K, en una pc pentium II 350 con 128 M de RAM. funciono todo !!!! muchas gracias!!!!
I think I have all the updates as I am not getting them anymore, but when I try installing the Kernel EX, All it does is install an IE6 update and then says extraction complete and I need to restart my PC. I restart and nothing happens after that. What am I doing wrong?
Works just fine with updated root certificates and the settings shown in the video (at least for my virtual machine which was already fairly well-patched to start with...).
Great video! I'm a Linux user but I would love a modern kernel mod for Windows 7, as 7 and 2000 are my favorite versions of Windows and compatibility is the only thing stopping me from dual booting them. For now, I'm stuck with W10 LTSC on a cheap SSD
About the update Rollup 1: the update rollup that i430VX use and link on the download is an english version, end it's incompatible to other language version of Windows 2000 (as an italian i have Windows 2K in italian). unfortunately, Update Rollup 1 in other languages is a rare file, i found a forum which had the Polish and Italian versions, along with the Japanese version, but the download links have expired. we are in fact talking about discussions that took place in 2012.
I work in a machine shop, many of our cnc machines still use windows 2000 based controls. they should continue to run safe as long as they are not on a network.
Great video, thank you! One small piece of feedback - that background music is kind of awful and annoying in some spots, maybe keep it a little lower volume wise in the future?
I like this video, It will help me get prepared to install Windows 2000 on my computer: Here are specs: ASUS P5VD2-MX SE Intel Celeron D running at 3.46 GHz NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GS 1gb ram 250gb hard disk 1280x1024 monitor AOC Also this pc was a gift.
Well unfortunately this video did not work for me. I'm using a Dell Latitude D620, and everything went smoothly up until the kernel install. After that it takes about 5 times as long to boot up (no big deal), but the real dealbreaker was it broke the Wi-Fi driver, telling me it couldn't find any compatible WLAN cards. I installed the Windows XP version of the driver (which I think is the same), that worked until I rebooted and it went back to not detecting the WLAN adapter. I couldn't install Boingo either, it threw a random error number 2894. Since the only reason I attempted KernelEx is to use MyPal, I guess I just accept that XP is the earliest OS I can use the Internet on. Also, every single direct download link in your description doesn't work due to a RUclips issue: it will bring up the "This site may be harmful" page and when you click "Go to site" it just does nothing. You have to right-click the "Go to site" button and copy the link address, then paste manually, at least on Chrome. Awesome work with the tutorial and your website though, truly appreciate people like you keeping old computers useful and out of the landfill!
Wait... are you saying just a year ago all the updates were STILL AVAILABLE??? Damn, I thought they've been long removed.. if only I knew there is a way to get them I'd have done it much earlier and getting updates from that ISO is probably... well, not quite legit and it's just an automated all-in-one install with mass file replacement or something?..
I tried follwing your update video but I kept getting errors about missing 'MSVCR90.dll' but I had already done some things before so I assumed it was OK. After installing the kernelEx and restarting windows took a long time to get to the logon screen and now says 'The system cannot log you on now because the domain [my user] is not available.' Is my system lost? It's only a virtual machine, but I would still like to know if it can be fixed.
Having the same issue myself. Had previously successfully installed KernelEx using the same ISO, but now when I go to do it, I get this issue too. Haven't changed the process at all either, very strange
WIndows 2000 SP4 installation media/iso to prevent having to install the services pack 4 directly. To get that, either Slipstream SP4 directly into the Original Install CD, and then burn that as a new bootable CD. There are bootable SP4 installation isos (CD image) that can be downloaded form places like winworld.com since it is such a older OS.
You should mention the importance of the Unofficial Service Pack 5.1. It's critical that some machines have it otherwise BlackWingCat's KernelEX will bork the installation.
@@I430VX That happened to me as well, USP 5.1 has certain pre-requisites in order to be safely installed and it's a right pain in the ass to work out what those requirements are... Until you see a whole bunch of forum threads outlining them at 3 in the morning and facepalm violently... From what I've seen, USP 5.1 is important on a fair few multi-core machines as it deploys certain patches that allow Windows 2000 to utilize 2 or more cores correctly, in addition to a thermal control KB that allows a multi-core system to run at an acceptable temperature. Supposedly the only other way to properly install these patches without too much run-around is HFS-Slip which the vast majority of users will not be inclined to use. As for Kernelex, on higher performing multi-core computers, without USP5.1 will stop the installation from booting correctly by stalling at the login screen where it's supposed to be loading your session. In hindsight it might be a little bit overly specific but it may be worth leaving a side-note in the description of your video. I'm sure the folks at MSFN would be willing to help in a heartbeat too. Thanks for reaching out to me though. Your video inspired me to do yet another Windows 2000 installation on modern hardware for old time's sake. You're right about it being a daily driver operating system!
Hey Man, I was thinking of asking you an interesting question about a Windows 2000 game with Quake 1 Engine called "Urban Mercenary".... Because in the Windows 2000 I once had I could see a playable map (all white I think for a reading code) and the lights became white hanging on the ceiling and with the grate, while now that map is always the same, but original gray and brown with blue lights? In the past not too long ago, I had tried to play the second version of the game on another PC with Windows XP from running .rar files, and a similar thing happened making my whole map blank but without merging or manipulating objects, this was on the last map, but since I've always had another Windows XP (fixed), and I still play both versions, I don't understand why this reading method doesn't come out also from my Windows XP PC (laptop ), where the textures are colored... It's not like you can help me, my goal is to make the first white map reappear with the lights hanging, I also remember in 2005 that at the end of the map the screen was rotated, do you think it was of a reading error, was it a map taken from the internet (although I remember never playing on the internet in 2005), or is it the windows version? I beg you, for years I've been trying to find a solution! 🙏🏻🪐
Good video, I managed to get most of the software I wanted installed. The only downside being that Steam won't run because of API's that do not exist in the OS or the Extended Kernel. (at least thats what I saw when searching)
I used W2K on my so called Media Server. It is a P3 600 MHz with 1 Gig of RAM. It contains a database, a modified Version of serviio, which connects to that database and a jsp Application on Tomcat, which is used to search for movie titles. Currently I try to migrate all these mentioned Services to Linux mint and got it done. But getting things done in Linux needs a lot more effort. Much more deep diving into the subject, most things on the command line, no graphical tools. Specially for old PC's with Pentium 3 or 4 one core: W2K performs better,boots faster, compared to a Linux Distro like Mint 18.3 Sylvia with xfce desktop. The desktop type you chose will have an impact on performance.
Good question. I know ClamWin AV works and is still updated for 2000, but i do not know of any others that get program+AV definitions updates. As for firewalls, there must be something out there, but I've never worried as my router has one built-in.
Avast 8 works and I believe it still gets definitions. For firewalls, there is Kerio 2.1.5 and Sygate Personal Firewall 5.6, but the former can be a little buggy.
If you get an error after updating the Windows Update components from the website just add Windows Update to the trusted website list Internet Options>Security>Trusted Zone>Add and you need to uncheck verification
Thanks for the pointers, but you did get one thing wrong. Windows 2000 does have support for IA-64. Not that you would be able to do anything with it, even if you had the correct physical hardware. But it exists!
IA-64 is not X64 unfortunately. Itanium kinda sucked and was never really used in workstation class hardware, so getting drivers for things like display adapters is a nightmare.
@@karathkasun Well, if you want to get pedantic. x64 is a misnomer (for (amd64), that has entered standard computer vocabulary. Just like “RJ-45” 😂 correctly known as 8P8C.
@@setoman1 IA-64 was a wholly different thing though, not a naming convention shortening. IA-64 was a replacement for PA-RISC and was not built on x86 at all.
Dear I430VX, thank you for the video, it helped me a lot. I have .NET Framework 2.0 installed on my Windows 2k SP4 extended kernel. Is it possible to install higher version of .NET Framework on Windows 2k? Do you maybe have the corresponding installer?
I have a copy of Windows 2000 SP4 with all updates, probably all of those in the video at 7:55. i found the iso on the pirate bay, it's clean, plus it has Unofficial SP5 bundled with it, and it'll install mp9 and dx9, and windows update agent, and wmp stuff if you leave the disc in the drive. BTW On Windows 2000, the SDI you included a link to always fails to install the chipset drivers.
Outstanding work in experimenting with old operating systems. A great geeky think to do :-) Do we have a kernelEX for win xp and 7 things are starting to break. I have got replies from support people telling me they can't build their software XP compatible using latest version of Visual Studio. For example road blocks like procedure entry point GetTickCount64 missing in kernal32.dll when run under XP or confusion like github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/issues/3158 .
XP has XomPie (wrapper library) and One-Core-API (kernel extensions). Nothing for 7 but something is in the works for Vista. GetTickCount64 can be replaced with GetTickCount, provided you do not need to run the program for more than 49.7 days.
Hi this is an awesome video! I was wondering about KernelEx when I try to install I click ok on the two pop ups then it starts installing then just closes or crashes and doesnt finish. Am I doing anything wrong? I really need KernelEx to run some software on here.
Hey, I just installed the extended kernel and after startup it gave me an error saying it can't find ngen.exe for the .net 4.0 folder. I have a Pentium 4 in there
y no hay etended kernel para español ? , que pereza volver a instalar todo .... yo acabo de instalar el win2 server sp 4 , has encontrado alguna solucion ?

I used this operating system for a long long time it was great I never had any problems with it.
Very nice vid! Subbed :)
Thank you for this! Very helpful
excellent vid, subscriber earned!
I work in a machine shop, many of our cnc machines still use windows 2000 based controls. they should continue to run safe as long as they are not on a network.
Very interesting!!!! I want to try MACH3 with Win2000 instead of XP...I heard that Windows 2000 is very stable with CNC hardware and rock solid.
Thank you for the video tutorial. What is your CPU on this system in the video?
I don't precisely recall at that time what it would be but it would have been either a core 2 duo e8400 or a core 2 quad q9550
well it actually says at exactly one minute into the video. it's the q9550.
@@I430VX Thank you. I am currently installing on a Core 2 Duo.
Great video, thank you! One small piece of feedback - that background music is kind of awful and annoying in some spots, maybe keep it a little lower volume wise in the future?
I like this video, It will help me get prepared to install Windows 2000 on my computer:
Here are specs:
ASUS P5VD2-MX SE
Intel Celeron D running at 3.46 GHz
NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GS
1gb ram
250gb hard disk
1280x1024 monitor AOC
Also this pc was a gift.
Well unfortunately this video did not work for me. I'm using a Dell Latitude D620, and everything went smoothly up until the kernel install. After that it takes about 5 times as long to boot up (no big deal), but the real dealbreaker was it broke the Wi-Fi driver, telling me it couldn't find any compatible WLAN cards. I installed the Windows XP version of the driver (which I think is the same), that worked until I rebooted and it went back to not detecting the WLAN adapter. I couldn't install Boingo either, it threw a random error number 2894. Since the only reason I attempted KernelEx is to use MyPal, I guess I just accept that XP is the earliest OS I can use the Internet on.
Also, every single direct download link in your description doesn't work due to a RUclips issue: it will bring up the "This site may be harmful" page and when you click "Go to site" it just does nothing. You have to right-click the "Go to site" button and copy the link address, then paste manually, at least on Chrome.
Awesome work with the tutorial and your website though, truly appreciate people like you keeping old computers useful and out of the landfill!
Very informative. Thanks for the video.
watching 14 minutes with mute on not knowing this had sound. NIce install
Wait... are you saying just a year ago all the updates were STILL AVAILABLE??? Damn, I thought they've been long removed.. if only I knew there is a way to get them I'd have done it much earlier and getting updates from that ISO is probably... well, not quite legit and it's just an automated all-in-one install with mass file replacement or something?..
Real talk tho, that pc is beautiful :3 im always down for sum retro pc's similiar to uwxbill
thank you for this awesome video!!! i am trying this on a vm...
You deserve more than 1K subscribers
When i run the updates, i get the 0x80072EFF error. I did enable TLS 1.0 and uncheck Auto IE Updates
Windows Update doesn't work anymore from August 2020 on Windows 2000, XP and Vista.
Little late to the party but this still works!!!
Really nice video!!
0:34 that is the same keyboard i use to type with on my win 10 desktop
Libreoffice *is* still being updated... you can get a Win32 version of the very latest version, 6.4.1.
Well yeah, but it doesn't work on win2000, or XP, or even Vista...
I tried follwing your update video but I kept getting errors about missing 'MSVCR90.dll' but I had already done some things before so I assumed it was OK. After installing the kernelEx and restarting windows took a long time to get to the logon screen and now says 'The system cannot log you on now because the domain [my user] is not available.' Is my system lost? It's only a virtual machine, but I would still like to know if it can be fixed.
Having the same issue myself. Had previously successfully installed KernelEx using the same ISO, but now when I go to do it, I get this issue too. Haven't changed the process at all either, very strange
WIndows 2000 SP4 installation media/iso to prevent having to install the services pack 4 directly. To get that, either Slipstream SP4 directly into the Original Install CD, and then burn that as a new bootable CD. There are bootable SP4 installation isos (CD image) that can be downloaded form places like winworld.com since it is such a older OS.
You should mention the importance of the Unofficial Service Pack 5.1. It's critical that some machines have it otherwise BlackWingCat's KernelEX will bork the installation.
The time i tried usp5.1, it ruined my install.
I've never heard of it being an important step. can you explain more?
@@I430VX That happened to me as well, USP 5.1 has certain pre-requisites in order to be safely installed and it's a right pain in the ass to work out what those requirements are... Until you see a whole bunch of forum threads outlining them at 3 in the morning and facepalm violently...
From what I've seen, USP 5.1 is important on a fair few multi-core machines as it deploys certain patches that allow Windows 2000 to utilize 2 or more cores correctly, in addition to a thermal control KB that allows a multi-core system to run at an acceptable temperature. Supposedly the only other way to properly install these patches without too much run-around is HFS-Slip which the vast majority of users will not be inclined to use.
As for Kernelex, on higher performing multi-core computers, without USP5.1 will stop the installation from booting correctly by stalling at the login screen where it's supposed to be loading your session.
In hindsight it might be a little bit overly specific but it may be worth leaving a side-note in the description of your video. I'm sure the folks at MSFN would be willing to help in a heartbeat too.
Thanks for reaching out to me though. Your video inspired me to do yet another Windows 2000 installation on modern hardware for old time's sake. You're right about it being a daily driver operating system!
does the ext kernel require the system to be fully updated? i tried instilling the ext kernel a few times without the updates and it hanged on log on.
Great video!
great source as i need win2000 to be installed on an older pc for cnc :)
Hey Man, I was thinking of asking you an interesting question about a Windows 2000 game with Quake 1 Engine called "Urban Mercenary".... Because in the Windows 2000 I once had I could see a playable map (all white I think for a reading code) and the lights became white hanging on the ceiling and with the grate, while now that map is always the same, but original gray and brown with blue lights? In the past not too long ago, I had tried to play the second version of the game on another PC with Windows XP from running .rar files, and a similar thing happened making my whole map blank but without merging or manipulating objects, this was on the last map, but since I've always had another Windows XP (fixed), and I still play both versions, I don't understand why this reading method doesn't come out also from my Windows XP PC (laptop ), where the textures are colored... It's not like you can help me, my goal is to make the first white map reappear with the lights hanging, I also remember in 2005 that at the end of the map the screen was rotated, do you think it was of a reading error, was it a map taken from the internet (although I remember never playing on the internet in 2005), or is it the windows version? I beg you, for years I've been trying to find a solution! 🙏🏻🪐
When I install Kernel Ex I don't get the dialogbox for Extended Kernel option, is there a way to manually start it?
would it be possible to use windows xp's hacked skylake+ drivers on windows 2000 to install 2000 on a skylake processer based machine?
Good video, I managed to get most of the software I wanted installed. The only downside being that Steam won't run because of API's that do not exist in the OS or the Extended Kernel. (at least thats what I saw when searching)
What was the 1st soundtrack name? I really like it. Please give me a name or a link to listen to it

Thanks! Btw This tutorial really helped me on my Athlon 64 X2 machine. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
I used W2K on my so called Media Server. It is a P3 600 MHz with 1 Gig of RAM. It contains a database, a modified Version of serviio, which connects to that database and a jsp Application on Tomcat, which is used to search for movie titles. Currently I try to migrate all these mentioned Services to Linux mint and got it done.
But getting things done in Linux needs a lot more effort. Much more deep diving into the subject, most things on the command line, no graphical tools. Specially for old PC's with Pentium 3 or 4 one core: W2K performs better,boots faster, compared to a Linux Distro like Mint 18.3 Sylvia with xfce desktop. The desktop type you chose will have an impact on performance.
Thank you. But why did you have to record from the space station ?
(Not that I need to know, just curious)
what?
@@I430VX the zoom
It's not THAT zoomed out.
What firewall / AV software do you recommend I use with Windows 2000? I'm sparty411 on the MSFN forums :)
Good question. I know ClamWin AV works and is still updated for 2000, but i do not know of any others that get program+AV definitions updates. As for firewalls, there must be something out there, but I've never worried as my router has one built-in.
Avast 8 works and I believe it still gets definitions. For firewalls, there is Kerio 2.1.5 and Sygate Personal Firewall 5.6, but the former can be a little buggy.
Qihoo 360 Total Security?
360 is definitely not recommended from me. Borderline spyware.
Ouch, sorry for that
Are you using wired connection or wireless connection? If wired are you using RJ45/ethernet connection?
That monitor is so cool! What is that monitor named?

If you get an error after updating the Windows Update components from the website just add Windows Update to the trusted website list Internet Options>Security>Trusted Zone>Add and you need to uncheck verification
Thanks for the pointers, but you did get one thing wrong. Windows 2000 does have support for IA-64. Not that you would be able to do anything with it, even if you had the correct physical hardware. But it exists!
IA-64 is not X64 unfortunately. Itanium kinda sucked and was never really used in workstation class hardware, so getting drivers for things like display adapters is a nightmare.
@@karathkasun Well, if you want to get pedantic. x64 is a misnomer (for (amd64), that has entered standard computer vocabulary. Just like “RJ-45” 😂 correctly known as 8P8C.
@@setoman1 IA-64 was a wholly different thing though, not a naming convention shortening. IA-64 was a replacement for PA-RISC and was not built on x86 at all.
@@karathkasun Still missing the point...
Dear I430VX, thank you for the video, it helped me a lot. I have .NET Framework 2.0 installed on my Windows 2k SP4 extended kernel. Is it possible to install higher version of .NET Framework on Windows 2k? Do you maybe have the corresponding installer?
That’s nuts!
This can also be used for the virtual machine
Windows Update no longer works as of August 2020 :(
I have a copy of Windows 2000 SP4 with all updates, probably all of those in the video at 7:55. i found the iso on the pirate bay, it's clean, plus it has Unofficial SP5 bundled with it, and it'll install mp9 and dx9, and windows update agent, and wmp stuff if you leave the disc in the drive.
BTW On Windows 2000, the SDI you included a link to always fails to install the chipset drivers.
Tempted to give this a shot sometime, seeing Blackwingcat run cards such as a GTX 780 under 2K has me seriously interested...
2K works on 980ti as well.
Hmmm, I'd rather deal with XP.
Windows ME and 2000 are my favorite.
for me the app compatibility launcher is not working right, when i drag the EXE of an XP installer or program it says it's missing files
Got error 0x80072eff. I checked the 1.0 tls and unchecked internet explorer updates.
Windows Update doesn't work anymore from August 2020 on Windows 2000, XP and Vista.
That sucks
@@gothicsage955 Yeah! It sucks also for Windows 95 and 98 and Me, stopped on August 2011.
@@TN384 that's just stupid. Just leave the updates alone lol. It won't bother others lol.
Outstanding work in experimenting with old operating systems. A great geeky think to do :-)
Do we have a kernelEX for win xp and 7 things are starting to break. I have got replies from support people telling me they can't build their software XP compatible using latest version of Visual Studio. For example road blocks like procedure entry point GetTickCount64 missing in kernal32.dll when run under XP or confusion like github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/issues/3158 .
XP has XomPie (wrapper library) and One-Core-API (kernel extensions). Nothing for 7 but something is in the works for Vista.
GetTickCount64 can be replaced with GetTickCount, provided you do not need to run the program for more than 49.7 days.
Hi this is an awesome video! I was wondering about KernelEx when I try to install I click ok on the two pop ups then it starts installing then just closes or crashes and doesnt finish. Am I doing anything wrong? I really need KernelEx to run some software on here.
Hey, I just installed the extended kernel and after startup it gave me an error saying it can't find ngen.exe for the .net 4.0 folder. I have a Pentium 4 in there
I'm using Windows 2000 on VMware and i followed your steps and the Extended kernel is not working for me because i have the system in Spanish.
y no hay etended kernel para español ? , que pereza volver a instalar todo .... yo acabo de instalar el win2 server sp 4 , has encontrado alguna solucion ?
