Where to download CPU Feature Patch for 32 bit? Emsisoft Antimalware detects W8CPUFeaturePatch.exe as trojan (or is it just false positive?)...
is a false positive. That is because many programs written in C++ & pure Win32 API are reported as virus.
it's boot from usb but when i click on ''install'i get the error that the install.wim file is corrupt or something i did the same as in the tut but what do i wrong or?? can anyone help me??
Please can you guys help me out, I feel like ripping my hair out! I have a Dell Optiplex GX620, Very good machine and im using it as a home server, Trying to run Server 2012 R2 X64, My CPU does not support PrefetchW, Which happens to be a AMD feature anyway... how can i get this freaking thing to work!
Firstly,hello to all the clever people here at mydigitallife i have a Dell 8400 with 3gb memory and a old p4 cpu 32bit Processor 1 ID = 0 Number of cores 1 (max 1) Number of threads 2 (max 2) Name Intel Pentium 4 540 Codename Prescott Specification Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.20GHz Package (platform ID) Socket 775 LGA (0x4) CPUID F.3.4 Extended CPUID F.3 Core Stepping D0 Technology 90 nm Core Speed 3192.1 MHz Multiplier x Bus Speed 16.0 x 199.5 MHz Rated Bus speed 798.0 MHz Stock frequency 3200 MHz Instructions sets MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3 L1 Data cache 16 KBytes, 8-way set associative, 64-byte line size Trace cache 12 Kuops, 8-way set associative L2 cache 1024 KBytes, 8-way set associative, 64-byte line size FID/VID Control no ============================== i was amazed to find this thread ,as i thought it was impossible to install win8 without the NX bit. Is this method still relevant? What win8 iso would i need to try this on my dell 8400 p4 ? i downloaded "Windows 8 Patches v1.5.7z"(is that the correct patch archive?) Thanks for any replies.
Followup to my post above: i ran coreinfo by using a bat file as the screen was flashing past ,too fast to read. just one line in the .bat file should suffice: coreinfo.exe>coreinfoOut.txt The text result shows NX should work,but it is not in my bios screen.

An asterisk * shows that the item is supported. A dash - shows that the item is NOT supported. In your list: NX - Supports no-execute page protection > NOT Supported PAE * Supports > 32-bit physical addresses > Supported SSE2 * Supports Streaming SIMD Extensions > Supported
Tried now with Windows 8.1 Update 1 but it's the exact same issue. Can't this be patched away? AFAIK only AMD CPU's actually support the PrefetchW instruction. On almost all released Intel CPU's the instruction is just implemented as a no-op anyway!
Apparently, all x64 versions of Windows 8.1 strictly require the PrefetchW instruction. I'm not aware of any successful x64 installation with this patch. The only solution you have is to install the 32-bit version, unfortunately missing the full power of the CPU.
And the addressing of memory above 4GB. It's no problem for me, it's just a test system running Centos v6.5 & Win8 in dualboot. I was wanting to upgrade it to 8.1 just to familiarize myself with the OS...
So do I. Remember that any driver for Vista or Win 7 for your hardware, will work properly in Win 8.1. All you have to do is install them in compatibility mode with Win Vista or 7, as appropriate. The only thing I have not done yet is to check if the patch will work with Update 1 (32 bit). If someone could install this update and apply the patch, please post your experience.
