    Hi, I just installed the 2015 version from torrent and when I turned on mozilla it took me here.

    Is there a way to update xp with these 2019 changes without re-installing it?

      @Spiderman You will get all the Windows XP updates automatically. But if you want also the Up-to-Date extras, then it would be better to do a another re-install if you have already just did one. Because updating the extras manually would take you more time then simply doing another re-install.

    I hate being a grammar nazi but, fork is spelled "frok" during the software installation options. "Basilisk/UXP v2018.12.15 (Mozilla Firefox frok)" should be Basilisk/UXP v2018.12.15 (Mozilla Firefox fork).

    Hello, Mr. Ramsey. I have a problem with installing this version of windows on an old system, namely a Cpu: AMD Athlon XP 1900, Mobo: M7VIG Pro-D, Ram: 1GB ddr1 corsair 266MHz, HDD: Maxtor 80GB, Video Card: asus v9570 / td / 256m. The problem is that it does not pass the component registration step anymore. None of the DVD-rom or CPUs lights flash anymore.I stayed for an hour and still does not want to go any further. why?

      @Alex It could be that the Disc has errors or that some files where incorrectly burned to the Disc by the Disc Burner.

      @Jin H. Na This is a SATA driver incompatibly error. You have to integrate your SATA driver into the WinXP Disc/ISO. See the ReadMe file on how to do this.

      @Jin H. Na The SATA DriverPack is always a lottery, that's why i include a DriverPack remover so that people can add their own drivers if they run into a problem.

      @Ramsey I have the FF52.3ESR, it reported this site containing Malware and Blocked. i changed the "Privacy" setting to exclude the option: "Block dangerous and deceptive content" and now I am here. Though from now-on there is a potential risk of getting some Malware from everywhere I go. From THIS site I have not found any Malware. . . Amusing :)

    serkan, sorry serkan, the xp integral is made to suit all not just for your specifically selfish needs. If the wireless driver is incompatible or usually missing install a driver which is OEM or from website if manufacturer. After an install I have to intall LAN driver, audio, but thats it. You people make me laugh with your selfish ignorant demands! Buy/use another system if you doing like. (hi)

    New subscriber here, I must say very nice and clean website, not clunky and not overly abusive LOL, text is crisp and clear. Also would like to say thanks to whomever made this XP integral edition , I am looking forward to checking it out, I love XP and sad to see it support dying off. Hope to see a community for Unofficial service packs/updates like windows 98 does. :)
