Thanks, this light switch probably came with the house when it was built

At least for the majority of consumers, since enterprises and some businesses are the ones that had those problems as they have the software.

Hello there. I may have already asked this question before, but at the moment I currently have no plans to install Vista on this machine. That may be partially because I wanted to get a graphics card that makes use of the Aero capabilities of Vista, which I don’t have a working, non-problematic example of that on hand. If anything, a GeForce FX 5200 or a 6200 would work for that, usually with 128 MB of memory. I’ve had used 256 MB and 512 MB 6200 cards before with Vista and other Windows OSes to varying degrees of success, oftentimes having problems down the road. In short, I currently have no plans to install Vista on my Intel Compaq anytime soon.

Long story short, I’ve found this laptop on an eBay listing a while back, and I kind of wanted to have a laptop that was like my old 2007 HP laptop that my family had but with a bigger screen and extended keyboard, and so I went ahead and bought it (along with the parts that I need to get this laptop in working order).

FYI I deliberately made this video as is to evoke the sense of nostalgia and feelings of a time when TH-cam was in its early days back in the mid-to-late 2000s. It’s the same reason why I recorded the video using an early-2000s DVD camcorder, because camcorders like the one I had were used in most early TH-cam videos, especially DV camcorders as that was the norm back then.

@@editname0063 The Cyborg Kuro-Chan background that I’ve used in my Windows 2000 Professional install came from this site here: www.colorslive.com/details/3341264 I’ll provide you with a direct link to the image here if you’re interested: s3.amazonaws.com/colorslive/png/3341264-HLEqqBfICpnPhks4.png For my variant, I just changed the colors a bit to match the default background color of Windows 2000. The rest of the original image was made by someone else, and not me.

thanks also the videos on your channel look great I'm gonna watch them soon

This is a genuine install of Windows 98 on a CD-R, that I’ve created for archival and reference purposes. After I’ve created the disc though, I’ve had a thought about trying to boot up the install from disc using my Windows 98 OEM disc, which is what this video is about.

Funny that you should say that, because I did install Windows Vista on it years ago after I got my Intel Compaq back in mid 2022 as part of an experiment. For a TL;DR, let’s just say that it worked okay for a while. I had a capable graphics card to take advantage of Aero and desktop compositing that worked for a while, but with some issues. Over time, I’ve lost interest with the experiment as I’ve done several different things to it as far as OSes go, and eventually took the Vista partition out. I would like to have Vista back on it someday, but not right now. Windows 7 is also another candidate for a future experiment, but that’s for another day.

I’m glad you’ve already knew!

@@CEO100able Thanks! I’m glad you’ve found something that you’ve never heard about before! (Oh, and BTW, I’ve kind of remember you from when I watched that one specific video from you several years ago.)

@@johnnycha You're welcome. Now I finally know how it works! Thanks for the tip! That's cool! Glad you enjoyed my TH-cam channel. Can you remember what video you first found on there? Because I remember working on lots of Microsoft Windows videos.

Surprise surprise when you see the icons in the short

He can never have too much

Thanks, it was possible because I had put it on hibernation mode before taping beforehand.

@@sheephalo Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it.

We'll see what happens next...

I usually do all my Windows activations via phone now, when I got my own phone, and then going towards the online activation site afterwards from the call.

u couldve booted up into idk ubuntu to get some files copy them to a pendrive, with ubuntu u dont have to install it to a hard drive

@@czangilos1212 almost wasn't worth it I didn't have anything important

What a pure coincidence

@@jackmyer45 that’s basically what I’m seeing now, even on Reddit and Twitter/X

@@johnnycha yeah I finally got on my flight after a delay

Have checked, have not replaced thermal paste though. Still, I may be willing to replace the card with another Radeon card later on, within the 8500 and 9000 series.

How 'bout getting a backlight or an IPS mod? That's just me anyway. (Side note, I've never tried either of those. My GBC screen is stock; I did change the case but that's it.)

Read the title of this video and you’ll see why If not, the I’ll redirect you to here: x.com/windows/status/1808878451052478664?s=46

That’s just the way this laptop was designed I’m afraid

TBH what we call the "start button" is just the Windows logo since Vista, even now with Windows 10 and 11 it’s still like that to this day. I’m old school enough (maybe?) to know that that’s still the start button.

I even still got my old HP laptop from 2007 that’s like the laptop seen here only with a smaller screen size (at 14"); still works You may have seen that particular laptop I have in one of my videos

@@TeamMIKaraoke2023 it’s because I can.

Aquí tienes: archive.org/details/CompaqQuickRestorePresario7000T Tenga en cuenta que, si bien este medio QuickRestore se creó específicamente para el modelo 7000T, al menos debería funcionar en todos los modelos 7000, independientemente de si tiene una CPU AMD o Intel. Por supuesto, es necesario tener instalados los controladores adecuados para obtener salidas de vídeo y audio adecuadas, etc., pero al final podría valer la pena.

Look, TBH, I’m just a small TH-camr, just a beginner like anyone starting TH-cam, and not a very popular TH-camr like with MrBeast and such. I’m not aiming for popularity or anything, I’m just doing things for fun, just like how it was in the old days. However, that may change in the future. It depends on how comfortable I’m willing to make any more videos without any outside pressure and/or how much I’m willing to show more of myself to the public. It all comes down to me IMO. Anyways, thanks for asking. Glad you enjoyed my videos, even if it pertains to a particular niche.

I do happen to have discord and have a discord account
