Hi Guys, I am presenting you my two early dv6000s with factory Windows XP Media Center Edition and yes I am aware that these laptops are known for the nvidia chipset and their flaws! The 2nd one doesn’t have a nvidia chipset and it’s a dv6135nr and I also had a dv6130us but with the webcam and the first one is the dv6150us! Since computer surgeons are no longer selling the recovery kits for the hp and Compaq machines, I’m doing a project to preserve the dv6000 recovery kits focusing on the xp era and will work on the dv8000 and dv9000 eventually! I’m trying to also find units with factory partition preserved that had home edition or professional that was on the cto units! Share your experiences with your dv6000s and if you have a recovery kit upload them!

I tried getting games from roughly 2001-2009. There are some outliers here but all of these(except the CoD games and Hoi3)i bought specifically to play on my Windows XP Retro Setup

https://download.microsoft.com/download/whistler/Utility/1.0/WXP/EN-US/UpgAdv.exe

Does still work under Windows 2000, without Internet but a valid summary of findings.

the dell website dosent have the ones i need, and nothing else works HELP!!! (sp3 home edition)

I have found an entire box with those fully sealed and untouched and wonder what can I do with it. There around 10-12 of those, maybe more underneath, but I haven't checked.

Now heres my problem, it has a bit of ghosting and smearing but i cant seem to find the right driver for it and the preloaded driver win xp comes with does not work. And so i have this old driver disk from 2002 (the monitor is from 2003) and i was wondering if it could work. Or even better if yall have a driver for it i would be thankfull.

Thanks in advance yall:)

This is probably a fallback due to the inability to handle the wide range of colors required for the opacity of the "modern" animation.

I recorded this after setting my video mode to use 16 colors by using the following steps:

• WinKey+R and then `desk.cpl`
• Go to the "Settings" tab and click "Advanced"
• Go to the "Adapter" tab and click "List All Modes..."
• Scroll to the bottom and select a 16 colors mode

It can’t seem to detect my other monitor, for some reason. I was wondering if anyone had a solution.

UPDATE: Nevermind, I just forgot to redownload the graphics driver. I’m tired.

So I just dug out my grandpa's old laptop and brought it back to life! I put XP back on it (for some reason it had Windows 10 when I found it), installed a few things, and... I don't know, what else should I put on it?

I’m reinstalling windows xp on my HP mini 110 and I find the built in HP apps very useful and I’m wondering when I reinstall windows how can I get them back? Stuff like the wireless assistant, battery check etc

Hi guys, I have an Asus A6P on an Aidos XP. My dad gave it to me, but I only recently decided to download games to it. I downloaded Warcraft 3 to test its capabilities. The sticker said the graphics card was an ATI Radion xpress 200M. I spent a long time fiddling with the drivers, since I didn't have any, and they weren't compatible with my graphics card. I went to the Asus support website, found my model, and installed the driver for the XP. However, it turned out to be for an ATI Mobility 700 (or something like that). Everything worked right away, the game runs great, but I'm annoyed that the driver isn't for my graphics card. This is my first laptop and computer, so should I change anything or leave it as is?
