@tomasz86 -- OK, I'll go get the UURollup-v11 daily and install it. If that can help me to get Macrium Reflect Free running, then great! I won't have to worry about Microsoft Backup. I'll bet, however, that the Free edition doesn't allow for daily (or differential) backups. I have found that they want you to purchase the software to do that. Unfortunately, on my limited budget, that won't happen ... Thanks for the help. I will probably try the MSFN forum first (regarding the MS Backup file permissions issue) and see if anyone responds with help.

I uploaded a new weekly version of UURollup-v11 just yesterday so you can use it instead of the daily one Have you tried Cobian Backup? It's free for both personal and commercial use and allows several different types of backups (differential, incremental, etc.).

Tomasz (and all the developers),

I want to thank you for all the hard and difficult work you have done. I have been a longtime lurker and this is my first post. I have several older machines that I was ready to throw away and they came to life with windows 2k. The newer linux distributions bring these dinosaurs to their knees, although I run a win2k VM under linux mint. I cannot believe the difference in performance, it is fantastic! I am going to the older windows releases, because like most others I hate windows 8. Your progression and improvements to win2k put it on almost an equal footing with windows xp, and far less system resources used for getting the same jobs done.

Thanks!

I have moved my comments on UURollup to this forum topic: Unofficial SP 5.2 for Microsoft Windows 2000-- everyone else should do the same, as @tomasz86 is only replying to questions there ...

Ahhh.

Finally.

The VM with my rewritten kernel32 comes up with no errors. I have maybe half a dozen more routines to add, and then the question is, how to test it in the community?

I would just release it with a warning that it is a test version that should only be used in a virtual machine or a secondary system (i.e., not your only computer). The Windows 2000 community is pretty small so (hopefully) you won't get buried with vague bug reports.

In about 3 weeks I should have a spare system available for testing on actual hardware. Just need to get a few more hardware bits for my upcoming physical server relocation so I don't have to swap cables around to boot it.

[WildBill]

That would help a lot. I'm having a problem hunting down a bug that I see in the VM when trying to open an app in WinDbg. I'm trying somethng simple (calc.exe). The bug is that the debugger starts calc at an invalid address.

On another issue, is anyone having problems uploading to Mediafire? I have a v17 of MS11-011 but I've been unable to upload it.. It keeps failing with a -503 permissions error. I deleted some old versions to free up some space in case it was a folder size problem, but that hasn't helped.

I will also have a spare system ready for testing at the end of the week.

Also, I noticed that this month's Security Updates ISO does not include a Windows 2000 IE6 update despite the fact that MS13-037 fixed 3 critical vulnerabilities (every other Critical IE patch had a Win2k update in that month's ISO (except for the January 2013 Out-of-band patch, which was in the February ISO.))

EDIT: The spare machine in question (a laptop) just had its cooling fan fail, so my tests may be delayed until I can get another machine ready or fix the fan. Turns out all that was wrong was that the fan was caked with about two years worth of dust...

Well, I finally managed to get KB2393802 v17 uploaded. I've been trying to get this posted for months. It turns out that MediaFire is imposing a file size limit, and I had to upload it as a pair of ZIP files.

The update includes the netman.dll and secur32.dll fixes I posted about in another thread.

I'm still stumped as to the bug in my kernel32 rewrite. Maybe tomorrow I'll post it plus the full source.

Hi,

The second file Windows2000-KB2393802-v17-x86-ENU_001.zip, have a wrong CRC32 checksum.
I can't extract archive. Please re-upload.
Thanks for updating.

[WildBill]

I updated the file and the link. Bear in mind that it's a split archive: you only have to extract from Windows2000-KB2393802-v17-x86-ENU.zip and it will extract from both files.

[WildBill]

Below is the link to v1 of my kernel32 rewrite. It includes a VS2005 project, full source, and a compiled DLL.

DO NOT INSTALL THIS ON YOUR MAIN SYSTEM

I'm posting this because I've hit a wall on a bug and I need help

Windows2000-kernel32-rewrite-v1.zip

[WildBill]

There appear to be multiple problems downloading and unpacking the split archive files for KB2393802-v17. I crawled through MediaFire's knowledge base and found something that is letting me upload the standard .exe installer again. Apparently my browser doesn't like their HTML5 uploader, and there is a setting to disable it. I updated the link on the main listing, and it should let you download a standard installer like earlier versions.
