    Hey Mr. Ramsey, could you and your programmer contacts please include the 'run more recent applications' layer stuff to XP so we can use programs that previously would only run on Vista+ or later? Here is a site/network I found with maybe some ways you can 'easily' do it? ~>

    There are some apps I use a lot like Firefox & the only versions that are fast for browsing Youtube will not run on XP, & the 'MyPal' chrome back-port & '360 Browser' hacks are buggy & slow by comparison =P Other things that would help XP a lot are ~>
    ~ Add 'Desktop Sync' so no tearing watching web browser & other 'windowed' videos. I've heard it requires 'Aero' with Windows 7, whatever that means.
    ~ Add 'APO / Audio Processor Object' support so can plug in effects to the system-wide Windows sound mixer (like Equalizers, levelers, etc. =)
    ~ Disable the fake 'BSOD' (Blue Screen Of Death) when moving boot drive to different PC, changing motherboards, etc. Should auto-detect the new hardware instead, like WIndows '98 on back did with no problem! =)

    For Windows 7 on forward, there are many things that need fixing & would help a lot, like ~>
    ~ Disable (by default) auto-sorting of folder contents when dropping or expanding items (this very annoying 'post XP' sabotage/bug makes it impossible to find & sort 'new' items 'dropped' into large directories)
    ~ Enable booting from FAT32 partitions (because it is infinitely faster & more stable than NTFS =) Those who have tried 2 'repair' or do other 'fancy things' with partitions know all about it! =)
    ~ Enable running (& reading, etc.) 'legacy' type ('old' format) desktop themes with Vista+ (7, 8, 10, 11 etc.) like 4 example generic 'XP' style desktop themes. They are much more intuitive & quick & E Z 2 use, & so simple 2 customize just by editing simple 'text' files =) it is also consistent across the 'save as' popup boxes & elsewhere, unlike 'modern' theme methods, & can even customize things like the thickness & size of individual 'frame' type elements & colors of all the parts (not just 'certain backgrounds')

    I have tried Apple/Mac, Vista, 7, & 10 & they are all much less convenient & flexible & fast than Windows XP & if a few more necessary features & 'compatibility layers' were added to XP there is really no need to ever switch, forever. Clearly banks have figured that out, as the limited features they need for running ATM machines means most of those still run on XP even now =) Always funny to hear people talk about how 'unsecure' it is = well not if you configure it right like they do, obviously. With my system, only 5 processes are running, which helps make things fast & secure, but it's not absolutely necessary ~>
    DHCP Client = internet
    Event Log = just 2 avoid 'shut down hanging' (bug)
    Plug And Play = Audio
    Windows Audio = as above
    Remote Procedure Call (RPC) = runs 'everything' (pretty much =)
    = Note: Would be great if you could fix 'Event Log so we can disable that too without causing a temporary hanging problem at shut down.

    BTW: I've been using 'MyPal' with the Chrome-based 'engine' for XP & though it can play Youtube videos & stuff it has a lot of bugs rendering various sites & 'hanging' issues & it would be much better if they could simply modify Firefox 115 (or later) to run on XP instead, as it is much faster & more stable & flexible & lots of add ons & other features available in addition to portable-ized versions that can store all the customizatios locally. I have extensively modified my version to minimize the 'phone home' & 'remote sabotage' things like Google Chrome & others do where they lose a lot of features when you move the 'so-called portable' app to other machines =P It also blocks all kinds of unnecessary Youtube 'features' & so on for a much better 'entertainment experience' =D Over the years I will continue modifying this for maximum performance, but can upload my current 'portableapps' snap shot if you want to try it out (something to replace 'MyPal' if you can get this 'Firefox 115 (or later) running on XP =)

    For more details & other 'help' (but I am not a programmer =P) U (or others interested in this 'XP Enhancements' stuff can reach me at 'balkanguy (at) live (dot) com' =) BTW: I'm happy to help $ponsor these tweaks if necessary, & if it works. Just let me know!

      @Dood McMan The "One-Core-Api" can cause BSOD that's why it is not included by default and it's added to the "Recommended Programs.txt" text file.

      The BSOD when moving a Windows XP to different PC is not fake it's how some Windows NT's behave.

      @Dood McMan Hmmm - when you cite "FAT32" ... what about exFAT support and support for boot into exFAT partitions ? Wouldn't that be much faster than NTFS as well, while at the same time not being burdened with FAT & FAT32 limitations ??

      kind regards
      Maxx (from Austria)

      @Dietmar Good, I will try to release a new version next week.
      If you have a documentation list of modern hardware that still works with Windows XP then I could include that too.

    Wanted to install from scratch ... used RUFUS to create an USB boot stick on an 8GB USB3.0 drive. The stick boots on my Dell Precision 1650 Minitower Workstation (Xeon E3-1225 v2) but when trying to install it says - WinXP Setup cannot find the EULA - press [F3] to quit (all in Text mode). Would really like a hint what am I doing wrong here ..

    Note - I'm attempting a "fresh" install ... on an empty blank NTFS partition (that I aligend correctly to 4K on an Win7 system)

      @Maxx
      The EULA is a Rufus problem that can popup if you have more than one Hard Disk drive.

      @Ramsey Big Thanks - used the WinSetupFromUSB Proggy as suggested and installed the XP Integral Edition 2013/06 on a 64G SSD. Works like a charm. Will now download these XP x32 drivers for my Precision 1650 from the Dell website. This was the last "small" (Minitower) workstation series that officially supported Windows XP. ("Ivy Bridge" chipset series, for me running on an Xeon E3-1225 v2, Quadcore, DDR3 support). 

      Two questions remain:

      1) Does the Integration of Kai Schtrom's NVM Driver allow me to put all DATA on an M.2 SSD Disk ? Will XP recognize it ? How "stable" is this driver - any hiccups known ??

      2) I'm in Austria and would prefer a German language UI. Would your "Language" Pack from LAST YEAR allow me to modify this 2023 XÜ Integral Edition installation as well or would a modified LangPack be required ?

      kind regards
      Maxx from Austria

      @Maxx If a backported NVMe Drive works or how stable it is, all depends on your computer hardware.
      And the WinXP-IE language pack works on any Windows XP SP3. A Windows language pack wont change any *.dll or *.sys files. They it only adds *.mui files next to the existing *.mul files.

    For SSD TRIMming there seems to be a tool that works on nearly all machines. Adata ssd toolbox 2.0.

    The Adata tool automatically sets your system and can be deinstalled afterwards. The loading speed of my system is about 100% faster after having applied it.

    Question: Does this also work with Windows Server 2003 R2, or no?
    Only asking since from what I've heard Server 2003 has superior Volume Shadow Copy compared to XP.

      @Ramsey I was asking if this pack also works with Server 2003. Although considering that one is 64-bit, I'm gonna assume it's a "no".

      @WS2003 What pack you mean? This is a full Windows XP SP3 operating system not a upgrade pack.

    v10.5.0.95 = No manual Patch need (Extracted from Paragon HFS+).
    v11.0.0.175 = This version was in an incompatible Windows XP Paragon HFS+ installer.

      @Ramsey
      Hi Ramsey,
      for me the Paragon driver works only with the asmedia 106.
      So it depends very much on the hardware of the Sata controller.
      Do you have something more for to test

      @Dietmar Some information I found here:
      https://msfn.org/board/topic/181911-read-gpt-hard-disk-on-windows-xp/?do=findComment&comment=1251406
      Only have to see which driver version is the best.

      @nya I have to see how to test this in VirtualBox. It's a very very long time when I once tested the GPT Loader.

    Hello, Ramsey. Thanks for your job. Sorry in advance if my question is stupid, i am new one here. After i downloaded this build, i saw that the build contains not only image, but also additional files and folders. The question is: how should i manage it properly? Does it mean that at first i should install the build, and after that i can use additional materials (Patch Integrator, Extras etc.), or should i integrate the additional materials into the build by myself BEFORE installation? If second – how should i do it? Or you already wrote the instruction of installation? If yes – please, tell me, where i can read it. Thank you.

    Если есть кто русскоговорящие, кто знает: ребят, как правильно поступать с добавочными папками и файлами? Их нужно интегрировать в образ самостоятельно или можно сначала поставить винду из этого образа, а потом добавлять все полезности по необходимости?

      @Ilya If you are installing Windows XP IE on an older computer, you should install the 'Vanilla' .iso. It is best to burn to a DVD and install it from that. The Patch Integrator enables you to make a custom .iso to suit the requirements of more modern machines. This should provide all information; http://www.zone54.com/ddl/WXPPx86IE_-_ReadMe.txt

      @The Fugitive
      Yes, i've already read it and generally i understood it, thank you. But i am planning to install XP onto rather new computer. The question is: should i integrate all drives from all subfolders (of the folder "Patches") or should i do it selectively? For example, there are several different SATA drivers:

      in the folder "AMD SATA driver v1.2.001.0337",
      in the folder "JMB585 SATA driver v1.0.0.0",
      in the folder "Kai-Schtrom SATA driver v1.0",
      in the folder "Microsoft SATA driver v6.2.9200.20652"...

      should i integrate everything from these folders? Won't i get problems if i will integrate everything? (because my knowledge is not deep, but i want WinXP to work on modern computers also)

      @Ilya
      Only integrate 1 of them, they will conflict with each other if integrated together.

      The microsoft SATA driver generally works in most cases, but ig not try one of the others.

      @infuscomus Thank you for the answer. Then some questions, if you don't mind.

      1. My processor will be AMD A6. Should i choose AMD SATA driver or more reliable is Microsoft SATA driver anyway?
      2. The similar question about USB3.0 drivers: AMD&Intel USB3.0 or Microsoft USB3.X xHCI?
      3. ACPI drivers: inside of the folder there are acpi.sys, and two more files "acpi.sys" in the subfolders acpi 6666 and acpi 7777. Which one is better to use in common case?
      4. There are also many options for NVMe drivers. If i understood you properly, the optimal choice is Microsoft NVMe driver, right?
      5. I also found some drivers for AMD A6 here:
      https://driver.ru/?H=A6-3400M&By=AMD&SS=Windows%20XP&ysclid=lmvwtfd72q170550714
      Should i include all of them (or partially) into the image, or no need?

    Hi Ramsey,
    some news about Pach Integrator?
    I would just take version Beta7 with the genius [Version] check.
    And I would integrate the new win8.1 Sata driver from George King.
    When you want to delete another Sata driver for this,
    say bye bye to the JMicron Sata driver, because nobody has a need for it

      @Dietmar Are you sure the Windows 8.1 SATA driver works on more mainboards than the Windows 8.0 SATA driver? I think compatibility is way more important than speed.

      I have hired a Freelancer for doing the Java part of the UTF-16 Hex detection script.
      And now I also implemented the Java part into the JREPL.bat tool and added a few Batch commands to it and everything works fine now with the JScript UTF-16 Hex detection. 😃

      Here is the Release Candidate 1:

      @Ramsey
      Hi Ramsey,
      I just try to understand, how this UTF-16 detection now works.
      And I am just in this moment testing
      the new version on the Japanese XP SP3 Media CD.
      Because it cant be better than version Beta7, I only need to compare.
      About the Sata driver from George King I can say: It works on each mainboard that I tested. I tested mostly new boards, because on older ones the Fernando 1006 Sata driver works best for Intel boards.
      The Fernando 1006 driver does not work on AMD boards.
      So, I think the driver from George King is similar to the Kai Schtrom driver.
      May be better on brandnew boards.
      But in any case, no need for the Jmicron Sata driver

      @Dietmar The JScript hex detection works by checking the first hex value "FF FE" (ÿþ) in a file and also checks for "0D 00 0A 00" (Windows UTF-16 Line Break) and "0A 00" (Linux UTF-16 Line Break). The UTF-8 files don't have any "00" in their Line Breaks and UTF-32 have "00 00" in their  Line Breaks.

      But what would be the point in having the Windows 8.0 SATA driver and Windows 8.1 SATA driver including. 🤔

      @Ramsey
      Hi Ramsey,
      with new Patch Integrator and with Beta7 I get the same Japanese Media SP3 CD.
      I also check all encodings. They are also correct recogniced in both.

      In any case works the new 8.1 Sata driver on more boards than the one from Jmicron.
      Until now, I do not find a board, where the Kai Schtrom Sata driver not works.
      So it is your decision. You also can let the Jmicron Sata driver stay alive and just add the new 8.1 Sata driver. On brand new coming board, this can help
