    I can't connect to the internet
    I'm installing the os on an old pc I have which I have all the drivers for and I made sure to install them after finishing with the installation of winXP IE
    when I plug in the ethernet cable I see the connection status icon in the tray doing the loading animation but it disapears after a while, when I open it before it disappears I see it setting up the local area connection and it finishes without a problem but for some reason the internet connection is always disabled
    when I go to network connections and try to enable it it always says connection failed
    I made sure my lan driver is installed and reinstalled it
    can someone help ?

      @Ahmed AbdulSamee when I found the internet explorer works I thought it might be something in the connection settings but when I try to change it's settings I get this message "the internet connection sharing computer is not configured to let network users control or disable the share internet connection. This setting can be change in the Advanced properties of the shared connection on the internet connection sharing computer" I don't know what that means :/
      Is it set up to share the internet connection of another computer ?

      @Trent I don't know much about mail clients, but I see another user (Dreamer) recommended OE Classic, which I read good things about.
      That might be worth a try!
      Actually, I haven't had any issues with Gmail in the XP-compatible web browsers I've tried lately...the latest builds of Serpent and New Moon, along with Mypal68 and Chromium 115, all work fine.

      Until a few years ago, much more outdated browsers, with old code bases, still worked fine too...that is, until Google decided to add more HTML5 'features' to the login process, which effectively shut out many browsers that would still work fine otherwise, as Gmail still supports the legacy layout that made it usable even on those ancient browsers.

    Install: Successful.... on Dell Dimension 9200. with 2.13ghz core duo, 2gb ram, shitty 7100 gs glorified display adapter using Neolithic Cable t connect to Mesolithic VGA Port and connect to modern d-sub boomer port.

    Used the patch integrator to slipstream the Intel sata/raid drivers (there are two of them in the options that are required) , generated the iso, used nlite on it, then the WinToUsb Program...  To create a slipstreamed iso on a USB Flash Drive with everything the Dell Dimension 9200 needs.  Went through install the first option worked and finally stopped the bsod.  After installing the first part, the 2nd part worked fine and akso you need to remove the flash drive after the 2nd part then plug it in after xp boots up.  I got it running on a Samsung Evo 860 SSD in the System and it boots so damn fast... even on this crappy pc I got off ebay that wae dusty af, had to clean out cpu cooler and I applied brand new thermal paste.  The machine came with the worst GPU ever made.. A Geforce 7100 gs.. lmfao..  

    Now that your amazing XP Sorcery is gracing my desktop.  What do I need to install in terms of security software so I can connect it via ethernet or is it good to go out of the box? its been 20+ years since I've used XP.. :-).

    thanks again for the great work...

    Successfully installed WIN-XP-2023-11-26 on ASRock-Z790-LiveMixer, with i9-14900K, DDR5-96GB, NVME-5.0 (Crucial-T700-2TB), graphic-GT730 (1920x1080). Installation takes 5 minutes (from RUFUS-prepared SATA-SSD) to see desktop, then about 10 minutes for updates/upgrades, next minute I surfed YouTube. Only recognized 2GB of RAM, but I was already happy. Didn't try PAE and GPT yet. Then copied NVME on 3 different other (Samsung-970, Crucial-P5, Kingston-NV2) and put them in Gigabyte-Z370 with i9-9900K, Gigabyte-H270 with i7-7700K and another ASRock-Z790-LiveMixer with i9-13900K and all worked with help of PS2 Keyboard on first boot.. But everything is not perfect.. On older boards (H61, B85, with BIOS NVME mod), only SATA-AHCI worked. Fastest startup with Z370 (about 5s), slowest with Z790 (about 3minute of darkness, don't know why, maybe too much RAM). I still have a lot of questions.. Does exist any Crucial-NVME driver, (I get strange results 10000MBs-read, only 2700MBs-write with Microsoft NVME driver and less than half with others)? Thank You Very Much!

    @Dietmar
    I think here is something you like to hack. It's the "Marine Aquarium" Screensaver from Microsoft Plus!. But it only works if the Microsoft Plus! bloatware is installed.

      @Ramsey
      Hi Ramsey,
      nice Screensaver.
      But I do not succeed with a hack, because the program asks for a lot of Registry Entries and some files. I fake all those Registry Entries, not works.
      So, the only solution is to install it via the Original setup.exe. There you can choose "Custom Setup" and then choose only the Screensavers. This works.
      I needs about 32MB on harddisk after install

      Here are the Microsoft Plus! files, fetched from *.iso

      @Dietmar I thought it would easy to cut this Plus License out of this file. 🙃 But if it is to much work, then it is not really worth it.
      The funny thing is they even protected the few extra Effects "ptransfx.dll" for the Movie Maker. 😅

      @Ramsey Thank you for Marine Aquarium, fits nicely in my XP-Room and water looks fresh.
      The coffee will probably arrive as soon as coffee-card is arranged, let's say it's on the way..
      Ramsey, I'm a little confused, to which of your coffee-address should be send, coffee-donuts or server-donuts?
      Dietmar, where is your coffee-address?

    Standalone installer folders  ( near the ISO )  should be all installed and added ?

    🤔🍻🍺🚬  Thanks  -

      @Grissa No they are optional. And should not be installed if you don't need it.

    Were the Microsoft Plus! for Windows XP and Microsoft Plus! Digital Media Edition packages ever included?

      @Algoflex There is not point in adding this. You can install it yourself but it's useless.

      @Ramsey I thought just for completeness sake, however if they are not that useful (anymore), I understand.

      @Ramsey Ramsey, Have you ever thought of building a Media Center Edition of XP?

    Can't get my Toughbook to boot from the integral edition iso after using the patch integrator and still have full SATA and USB support. So it crashes over and over when exiting textmode install until telling me to locate "asms" on windows XP install media. No USB activity lights. And if I try to create IE iso and then slipstream additional drivers with nlite, it seems to erase every trace of IE from the ISO. No OEM folder, no unattended info left. So, I acquired a clean copy of SP3 from internet archive and integrated some of the drivers and patches from the IE folders with nlite. Finally got it to boot with SATA, USB and WLAN support with graphics and sound drivers. Also removed internet explorer and internet explorer core using nlite (necessary because a program I need to use defaults to internet explorer but I need to replace with Mypal for it to function, can't connect to server with internet explorer and it runs as a nested function of the app, not its own program), but when I finally get to the first startup, the tweaks selector doesn't work now as it's an .hta link. If I install mypal before running wxpie-setup.cmd then it will open the selector in Mypal but I get a bunch of VBscript errors and it restarts immediately, saying "The windows XP installation is FINISHED." Can I just manually install all of the tweaks? and what do I need to slipstream from the IE files to get rid of the VBscript errors?

    Having a few issues with install of v2023.11.26, and also a previous version I already had laying around (v2020.9.9). I am installing on real hardware, not a virtual machine.

    The whole install process appears to get stuck for around 45 minutes "Installing Devices", but eventually continues after being left to sit and do what it wants, annoying but manageable.

    The main issue I am having is the "Windows Installer" (msiexec) is constantly crashing when installing the extra software after the first boot (MyPal, 7zip, .NET runtimes, etc). After installing the .NET group package and it attempts to install Visual C runtimes, where the Windows Installer crashes on every instance when trying to install anything. Even after quitting the custom software installer and reaching the desktop, the "Explorer" process also crashes in a never ending loop.

    I've tried a few different things:

    - Found I already had v2020.9.9 burnt to CD, has the same issues.
    - Tried an entirely different PC combination (Motherboard, CPU, RAM, HDD, CDROM, and different cables), issues still persist weirdly.
    - Ran the first portion of install up until the second reboot (after accepting the EULA and the 45 minute wait), swapped the HDD into another machine, issues still persist.
    - Re-burnt the ISO to another CD at lower speed, issues still persist.
    - Tried to install via USB using the tools provided, issues still persist.
    - Done a memtest on the RAM to confirm its fine, no issues.
    - Done a full scandisk scan including surface/sector scan, no issues.
    - Done a CPU torture test and benchmark, no issues.
    - Deleted the driver updater package from the ISO and burnt it to CD again, thinking it might be a driver conflict, issues still persist.

    I can install an original copy of XP with SP3 just fine and zero issues, even update the Windows Installer to v4.5 and run the custom software installer files from the OEM folder on the CD, and it works fine.

    Any help or insight would be appreciated, as I've been at this in the background for three days.

      @Mistikal Been reading through the comments here, and found someone else had similar symptoms on older hardware. I am in the process of removing the SSE2 update using the Patch Integrator to generate a new ISO, and I will report back on the outcome.

      Ramsey · 1 years ago
      @Mistikal Yes this looks like you CPU doesn't support SSE2.

      @Mistikal I can confirm that removing the SSE2 instruction set update has done the trick!

    FYI
    External USB GPT disks < 2 TB are fully operational in WinXPPx86IE (Vanilla).
    External USB GPT 16 TB disk is listed in Device Manager, but it is not recognised by DiskPart.

      @2issues Try the "Paragon GPT Loader v11.0.0.175" (Extras folder) or the "ASMedia SATA driver" (Patch Integrator).

      @Ramsey According to Paragon:
      "The current [2018] version of Paragon GPT Loader [... ]. Only internally connected single 2.2TB+ drives are supported, not external storages, or those combined into RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks).
      Maybe this statement is still valid for version 11. BTW, are you sure that version was made by Paragon?

      Anyway, I've tried all possible 6 combinations of Vanilla, ASMedia, MS USB 3.0, AMD&Intel USB with and without the Paragon loader. My only 16 TB GPT disk is not recognised by DiskPart. The same disk is fully operational in Windows 7. Maybe it is too big for XP.

      @2issues The OS is irrelevant.  What matters is the bit depth of the 'driver'.  U can even run big discs on Windows '98 with stuff like 'Ontrak' 'WD Tools' & other 'drive overlay' software that loads a larger bit depth 'interface' so the OS can C it, & though some 'utilities' might not work, like 'scandisk', there R other 3'rd party versions that do =)

      @Dood McMan Have you ever seen in Windows XP a 16 TB partition operational in an USB external drive? If yes, please tell use what software exactly made this possible. Thanks.

    Hi! Before i formatted my computer with the latest version XP-IE, XP showed 2,50GB RAM (Total RAM: 4) but after i installed the latest version XP shows 1,99GB RAM. Is there any solution to this issue??

      Ramsey · 1 years ago
      @Ömer If you read the Changelog file then you see that the base ISO has not really changed. Keep in mind that you graphic card also has RAM that adds to the 4GB limit.
      If you want more RAM then the only way is to use the Patch Integrator.
