Is it stable?
For my Ryzen board, sound does not work correct,
lan enables, disables etc.

It seems stable. I would do more detailed testing but I keep breaking it trying to figure out the restart so only basic software gets installed each time.

No problem with USB ports. Lots and lots of copy files while testing other drivers.
Sound is ok. Short test of x264 video with VLC and games.
Played 10 mins of Return to castle wolfenstein. No issues.
Played Star Trek Armada several hours. This is only game that I have that works properly in XP32 but has audio stuttering issues on XP64. This is not a problem with new Ryzen system. I get exact same problem with older Athlon II 640 and with A8-7600 computer.
CPUz stress test for 2 hours.
LAN drivers had been installed. Have not noticed enables/disables... But I keep rebooting for testing so have not noticed how long uptime for network connection.

Only problem I have is restart does not function normally.

All new hardware. I tried removing mouse, removing keyboard, removed DVD drive, changing nvidia and ati GPU, different SSD. Only PSU, motherboard, CPU, RAM have not been changed.

Restart works fine on Windows 7 x64, and with old parted magic linux boot from 2012. So hardware is good.

Tested on XP64 with ACPI 5048 - 2019.09.01, and on XP32 with 5048 - 2019.6.30 and 6666 - 2019.10.20#2. All XP ACPIs have restart problem for my system?? Lets compare difference.

I think diderus6 tested with B350 chipset ASRock Fatal1ty AB350 Gaming K4 and did test with a 3700X? So, Gigabyte vs ASRock BIOS build, B350 vs B450 chipset, and according to website, ACPI 5.1 for asrock vs ACPI 5.0 for gigabyte.

I also have AMDI0030 showing as missing in XP which is the only driver missing difference compared to Windows 7.

Nevermind... After reading Andalu's post I tried removing the PS2 keyboard again. When I did it before, I just unplugged and did the restart which did not work. This time, I started the computer with no PS2 attached at all. Then tried restart. Works. Tried it several times. It should not feel this good for a simple restart to work

OK folks, I'm a newbie here. I can build the heck out of a computer, but when it comes down to the intricacies of an operating system, I'm probably dangerous at best. I'm building several Windows XP x64 machines and would love an unofficial Service Pack 3. From what I have read, 5er_UpdatePack_XPx64SP2_2017-06_2.7z, is the next best thing (or maybe better, who knows?). I was able to download the file using xingyou12's link and password.

Here's my question. What the heck do I do with it? I unzipped it thinking there would would be single executable file inside (sortof like a click-to-run service pack), but found a legion of files. I read somewhere where others were using Windows Installer 4.5 to apply the 5er_UpdatePack_XPx64SP2_2017-06_2.7z. I found the WindowsServer2003-KB942288-v4-x64.exe file (that's the Windows Installer 4.5 install file) at Microsoft's volume-software.com site yesterday, but I really don't want to install a bunch things until I'm certain how to proceed.

Any help would greatly appreciated. Please remember, I'm not as well versed as most of you.

VMware and USB flash drive passthrough

When using VMware, if you connect a USB flash drive and try to pass it through to the guest OS, you will need to use a USB port that is using the generic backported USB driver in the host OS. It does not work then using the USB31_PT 1.0.5.3 chipset drivers from the motherboard. From the article it looks like other motherboard specific drivers will have the same issue with a few exceptions.
https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2041591

Tested with: XP64host with VM10.0.7(last XP version) and Win7x64host with VM10.0.7 & 15.5.6(last Win7 version).

Testing passthrough with a Kingston USB2.0 flash drive works fine. But when connecting a Kingston USB3.0 flash drive vmware gets a "unable to connect to ideal host", and the drive does not load properly in the WinXP guest OS.


VMware and USB3.0 flash drive

If you change the USB compatibility in vmware in Settings from 2.0 to 3.0, then install the backported generic drivers to the XP guest OS, it will work properly.

Note that the vm image hardware compatibility mode has to be 8 or higher, if you are using an image set to 6.5-7.x mode or lower then the USB 3.0 drop down menu will not show up.

Can you link or reupload the ACPI.sys that you used in your AMD test of XP Pro 64-Bit?
XP/W2k3 x64 on Modern Hardware (3)

So your restart computer from within the operating system works now once you removed the PS/2 keyboard?

That's very odd it would be connected to the PS/2 port.

Does your PS/2 keyboard work at the command prompt in native DOS or 98SE DOS when booted (assuming you know how to do this)?
Do not confuse this with using the Command Prompt within the Windows operating system.

In native DOS try Ctrl+Alt+Del and see if the machine reboots.

The ASUS ROG Strix B450-F Gaming II is a nice board.
After crazy work I get nearly all to work under XP SP3, only one USB slot not.
I succeed with this only with last last acpi.sys from August 2021 and the AMD Sata driver,
fresh modded by @daniel_k

No problem with Shut Down

Dietmar

PS: This acpi.sys is now the standard in Ramseys Integrator and also this very last AMD Sata driver is there (option I).
