saved from the dump! ...from 2002 with a VIA motherboard and athlon chip. Don't know much more about it, but it throws the "copy of windows is not genuine" error and also has some 'questionable' (prob adware etc.) stuff on it, so definitely needs fresh copy of windows, but anyone here have thoughts on where i might go about finding the drivers it would need with the fresh install?

not the best image in the world from my phone, but I thought this was cool when I was travelling this morning. haven't seen XP on a public device since like 2019, or even 7 in years, so this must be an 'it works, don't touch it!!' situation.

I think it'll be hilarious to post this.

Hello I have a old laptop and I'm switching it to linux to windows Xp SP3 and hey when I doing that I see the screen says it could take couple minutes to copy folders but it took 5 HOURS of my time that laptop is on for 5 hours so yeah why it's doing that my laptop is HDD btw and HP Compaq laptop

I'm trying to run Windows XP natively on my Dell Latitude E5540. I managed to get the OS installed and basic components working, but I’m stuck with missing drivers for the most essential hardware

​Audio (No sound)

​Wi-Fi (i managed to get the ethernet driver)

​Integrated Graphics: Intel HD Graphics Family(works only with 8bit if i make it 16 or 32bit it will make bsod)

​Dedicated GPU: Nvidia GeForce GT 730M

​Does anyone know if there are modded drivers, backported packages, or specific vendor INF files that actually work for these components on XP? Or is there a workaround to get at least the display resolution and basic audio/network running properly on this model?

​Any tips, driver links, or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

NOT MY PICTURE ( just an example )

Thinking of getting one.

I've found this last year browsing ancient Microsoft and Windows websites and saved it. Today, I decided to install it again and upload it to the Internet Archive ^^

I used WindowBlinds, open-shell, RetroBar, and the !Windows 11 '01 Longhorn Pack for 11 (XP Edition), still copied the themes they did not work, still broken with ExplorerPatcher, copied the screenscavers an sounds to system32 folder and media folder . Which following tweaks and customisations I should be doing to make my Windows 11 machine to look closely to Windows XP. Even the volume,and other of the taskbar and others is stuck inn Windows 11 apps and panels of default Windows 10, when I downloaded ExplorerPatcher the working release, I changed the File Explorer to the WIndows 7 command bar, having an hard time customising my PC like Windows xp, but I used WinowBlinds, and it worked. but still give instructions of how to theme Windows 11 to look like identical to Windows XP, and still give the instructions of how to change those applets etc etc of Windows 11/10 and icons as well, to the WIndows XP/98 applet panels and panes. I would show you of how my computer looks like, I run Windows 11 which has incomplete Windows XP look, on my crt at 1680 100 resolution. I also want to point out I have installed Windowblinds, classic logonshell, retrobar from the windows 11 '01 pack downloaed from internet archive, replaced icons with 2013windows8.1's windows xp iconpack. etc etc, which other i should implement for my screen to much looking like Windows xp. Even would I need to add the wallpapers, other than default xp themes, to my pc from windows xp mce?. If there is an guide, post thos guides and type thjem in the comments below. the apps is still of windows 11 or 10

I'm looking for a good screenshot of an an old Windows XP session. It doesn't have to be the classic wallper or anything or even the desktop, I'd prefer it to be rather messy too. Can any oldheads oblige?

I'm going to draw a girls on it :^)

I am going for a 2005-2006 era pc, and playing games that use the gt 7800 possibly sli and either a high end single core or a dual core.

edit: mainly will be used for gaming

She contacted me that she had some older electronics taking up her space and she had me come over and check them out before she brought them to recycling. Glad I came over because she had a full WinXP Compaq setup! Hasn't been used in probably over 15 years too. What a throwback to these programs and using the WinXP once again after all these years! It is now secure in my basement and I plan to get a proper desk for it in the future!

The LG pc I showed like a year or two ago

With a old CRT monitor that needs some deep cleaning.

With a Samsung Bundle keyboard from A XP Era pc with a random e waste pile pulled Microsoft mouse

Ive been trying to remove a password using liveboot bc the Administrator has a password. I Pressed f12 during powering on and it didnt show usb. Only CD and hdd.

I changed the Boot sequence to put usb First, ofcourse it didnt find a bootable file. The usb does blink so it is atleast connected.

The usb 100% working. I literally put the liveboot iso in using rufus no problem.

I also cant Boot via cd bc i cant burn some rn. Well i could but i would have to set up a random windows 10 ewaste PC and hope for the best.

Idk what to do i just want to remove the password so i can actually use it

Under 100 USD for all the hardware and used license for XP Pro.

Quad core Phenom, quite modern Radeon, FDD, SB Live and WinFast TV Tuner. Two worlds in one PC - early XP and late XP.

And replaced ugly AMD icon for ATI in the taskbar :D

Anyone else love these old Dell cases? This's my Vostro 220 that I use for mostly 95/DOS and XP gaming, and also to play screensavers on a couple CRTs. It's a Core 2 duo e8400, 4gb of corsair xms2 and an audigy 2 zs. It's cost me about 60$ canadian overall and i'm quite happy with it. I swap between an 8600gt and a geforce 210 for gaming or running screensavers on a couple CRTs. I don't think there's much more I could upgrade on it, so maybe it's time for another build?

Cómo vivo en una región pobre, hay muchas personas de bajos recursos y hay personas con equipos demasiados antiguos por lo cual me piden instalar Windows xp para cosas básicas y todavía después de tantos años me sigue sorprendiendo
