dosbox will run it if you have a copy, if your looking for a legal copy which is certain to work www.gog.com are selling it for 5.99 in a package along with the second one. Although you will have to pay another 5.99 for the 3rd game

    @ZucchiniMaiden No no, it was a blank install of XP, I installed the software afterwords lol
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I would not recommend using a product key generator to generate keys, you can find em on the internet relatively easy. And as for Windows XP keys, a certain GitHub page has them. :P

    Pirated copies of os can also be detected especially with torrent links

    Now, hmm...
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    Is there a Firefox feature in like maybe about:config to change the new tab page to the home page?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Settings > Home > Change 'New Tabs' to anything.

  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    "New Tabs" only has Firefox Home or Blank Page
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @K3Nv3, There's the Windows Genuine Advantage that got implemented in SP3 if I remember which checked the license of your Windows installation to see if the key was either pirated or whether it's been activated.

    Hav nt had an issue with their milk but bought creamer and it was like cottage cheese

    It got a lot of controversy because it acted in a way like spyware, but really who cares, Microsoft likes to spy on you.

    If you can't download windows directly from Microsoft always expect risks never know what user could leave out during re-upload

    Unless you got a physical copy of a os which can be found at thrift shops
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Always expect risks on outdated versions of Windows, there's probably a dozen or more vulnerabilities for XP that haven't been patched after the EternalBlue exploit that got leaked from the NSA.

    I get the retro vibe of it but he's using a vm worst case just right click delete kind of crazy not to be using up to date software if your system can handle it

  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    lol
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I'm running it on a VM, but it's more up-to-date with the latest security patches. There's not a single Wi-Fi adapter connected to this VM. And just to make sure nothing bad happens, I make daily snapshots.

    speaking of retro vibes, what are your favorite keyboard shortcuts to get around your favorite apps?
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    I feel like if I learned the shortcuts, browsing could be way more efficient
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Playing with old os is fun in a vm only os I'd actually dual boot is Linux and call it at that

    That's how I got started with Linux. Ran Debian 12 in VMware Workstation to test something out.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I was still on maybe Windows 11 when it was 2021.
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    If Microsoft adds AI that you can't turn off always watching you to the next Windows OS, I will switch to Linux.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I mean you have to really not know what you're doing to go for a hardcore virus on your main rig these days most just install games directly from steam
