So maybe the solution when working with XP is to use an older version of Rufus, one that used an older version of syslinux that would be compatible? Just a thought, and I might not of completely understood the problem. There are older versions available on the rufus website all the way back to 2011, and no, I don't know which versions would be compatible. EDIT: I did some further checking and from the rufus website I found: rufus-2.18p.exe 2017-11-07 13:39 945K Rufus 2.18 (Portable Version, Last version compatible with Windows XP and Windows Vista) I guess this is an example that using the latest and greatest isn't always the best solution, but rather you should use what is compatible with what you are trying to do. [It's also sometimes handy to hold onto old releases of software. Being a pack rat isn't all bad.] So that answers that question. At least now we know WHY the 2.8 version is the last version compatible with XP and Vista, which I didn't know before now, so Thanks, Johnrw!
So I have a question, when I try LastXP v22 it says something about menu.c32 is not a com32r rom then when I try v20 it just says default or ui config not found
When you are creating your install media for LastXP, use a tool that is compatible with it. Rufus v2.18 is the last version compatible with Windows XP. You can find it on the rufus website, or you can use the direct link rufus-2.18p.exe.
Rufus v2.18 is the last version compatible with Windows XP. It should work with any version of XP, AFAIK.
I have a google drive mirror of some of this stuff. Oh and you can have whatever else you find in my 4TB archive Other crap: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1RqMmWgkEMk63igvl_jtr1Q1uVnFRh-37 LastOS stuff: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1D3KH5iBRd_vS4-XFXr6zu7svgiua-2gG OS modding stuff: https://drive.google.com/open?id=11lcUCvlnXPSRG8jbVCyZXI3jMMzT25Fo Abandonware: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1fqybcs1bBMeXsxVDmEKfPtzfo8Dkb1oh :wink Enjoy everybodyyyy!
I am trying to move all my professional tools into VMs, that were always running on LastXP. So I found a 2 TB hard disk that I thought why not? Give each VM 200 GB which should be more than enough and problem solved. So trying out Image for Windows… I get this crazyy error. Does terabyteunlimited’s Image for Windows work in XP? Or maybe I should just ask will an Intel Core 2 Duo processor boot Last10? In fact… it will and does. Working with a USB powered blueray burner didn’t give me alot of confidence, but desperate times call for desperate measures.
Any thoughts on this? I’ll start off with this… IBM’s OS/2 could mange 4GB of RAM. In 1992!!! I realize how expensive ram was back then, but 4GB?
OS/2 was just a fragmented market. It kept Microsoft working hard to improve things on their side to "beat" OS/2, so it had it's place, there has always been people who drive the market and demand "early adopters" and they pay the big bucks. I doubt any actually ever owned 4GB of ram as it had no easy way to fill it all. HDD's were tiny still and internets were not much bigger than 4GB worth itself
I remember my voodoo2 PCI card, well I also remember my 2MB memory ISA expansion card from my first 286 too though. had 8mhz to 12mhz boot button. I used Autodesk Animator to tinker, qbasic (before I found quick basic on the internets) and I avoided installing windows until windows 95 came out 4 years later. No 3.11 for WG on my home PC Before this I used Amiga and C64 and learned how to code them from the time I was 11 until I was 13 and got my first 286 IBM. Before I was 11 I used c64 and atari (console only) to play games. I used to enjoy going through sorting and testing each game (much like i still do).
It’s funny to me what you divulge here. But first, either I’ve got a fucked up installation or something is wrong with my networks stack. I don’t know how to diagnose this, but every program that I could install fails to connect to the Internet. I installed firefox 2.0 from LastXP combined, then I installed version 3.07 from LastXP Ron core V.22 What the heck is going on? Service pack 3 already applied
Id start basic. Reinstall NIC drivers with manufacturer supplied drivers. Other than that, I just hope its not a wipe and reload
Network and USB or HDD issues are the worst. Hard to diagnose... I brought some USB wifi adaptors for this purpose. They worked meaning the LAN was dodgy. I just reinstalled as I didn't want to waste my time and have to install again anyway. That said, I had integrated LAN drivers into LastXPs, so their could be a version conflict occasionally with hardware
Oh no... I offer my sincerest condolences, Sylvia. Please know that John was always most welcome here. May he rest in peace.
We're so sorry for your loss, Sylvia. Once John rediscovered us here, he seems to have enjoyed learning new things and reliving things from his past. Maybe it helped brighten his day. I hope his passing was peaceful and you have good memories of your time together.
Thank you Sylvia, very sorry to hear this, I helped John do many projects (compared to other LastOS members) and I was grateful for all his support and praise he had for me and the team. LastXP and our OS's filled his days as much as my own, installations were tedious, but with the feedback and support from users like him made it grow to be much bigger than I ever imagined it to get. Falcon was another one of his past times and I appreciated his recommendation of it so much I made 2 version of it for my collection and purchased 2 Joysticks to enjoy it with. I am grateful to have known him, even if it was only a very small part of his life.
OKAY WE ARE GETTING THIS OLD THREAD ACTIVE AGAIN!!! I am going to *try* to release the UNOFFICIAL LastXP v23 with drivers to install on modern PCs, and updated apps!
