XP bootscreen on Windows 10

This is more of a curiosity than a real thing. It should be possible with graphicsmodedisabled 1 and editing the Vista fallback, however there may be a XP bootscreen hidden inside 10 that appears in very rare circumstances. I've only found two references to this ever happening. First was the result ...

Nvidia 2000 series USB Type C Port Policy Controller driver for Windows 7/8

To be honest I really don't know what this does, so this is just a null driver, meaning it doesn't really do anything other than make it not show as an unknown device. I've configured it for the device ID of my 2080 Ti. Yours could be different. If so, edit the inf to reflect. Also on Windows 8.x yo...

Windows 8.1 updated to 2020-01 and 2016-09

I always recommend to install my ISOs in MBR. But when I try to do it from a USB (8.1, 64bit, updated to 2020), on a partition, it doesn't let me install saying it has to be in GPT. Booting from said USB in non-UEFI is just a smiley face :( Try Rufus 2.18p and make sure it's set to MBR for legacy.

Best VLC version for stable, skip free FLAC playback

I've found modern VLC to not like FLAC files for some reason. There will be random delays or skips. This appears to have been fixed at some point between 3.0.19 and 3.0.20, but got unfixed in release 3.0.20. I found this nightly in-between version to be nice and stable with no issues for me.

For example, the USB 3 drivers aren't the best, only 2003 x86 has UDF 2.5 drivers, 2003 x86 doesn't recognize new USB devices without rebooting with stock USB drivers, R...

To start this off, you're probably going to want the Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Notebook (SB0710), unless you absolutely need ExpressCard 34 compatibility. Even then a cheap USB DAC would probably be good enough, combined with a USB hub if you don't have enough USB ports. It's what I currently ...

You could fix the issues with later 5.2.x builds, and compile a fixed 5.2.40 or whatever without hardening and maybe the 4.x UI as well. Would be best VirtualBox.
