it also has it's own file format - so if the guy has a big library of images he wont wont to run them through NRG2ISO or similar software.

Softs like ImgDrive support the mounting of NRG images.

Nero 6 is one of the best cd writing softs ever made on windows - and it uses libs that wont run on 7 for several reasons.
too bad they fucked themselves with nero7+ turning into itunes style bloatware!

No it is not tricky at all: it is simply not supported at all

OS-wise, you are correct. There used to be some SSD-manufacturers that had some trim-like features in their firmware. OCZ (Vertex?) comes to mind for some reason. Don't know if any manufacturers cares about that now days. There also used to be utilities that one could run to perform manual trim, or schedule periodic trim. Don't know if that's around any more either. Hence tricky.

Why just not replace the Nero and install Windows 7 32bit?
You know that there is more than one way to get it and I don't need to tell you how.
Not that I would not tell directly, but you have DMCA to worry about, not me.
This is closest to SP4 you can get https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/det...nofficial.html
Unless you want to search update.microsoft.com yourself and install manually.
Better give him C2D machine and updated Nero. With 4GB RAM it would be decent for some web browsing.

Edit: SSD Trim can be a bit tricky on XP.

About the embedded fixes: I would assume they also stopped working with the SHA-2 release.
Meaning of course you can do manual install, but no Window Update...

incidentally, nero6 will probably still work with the right aspi drivers

Re: Windows XP EoL Security Rollup...or similar?

I've got a customer running some proprietary software (CD mastering software that wont run on anything newer), and is keeping an XP 32 bit system running, and running connected to the internet. It's updated up to SP3...but of course WU doesn't work anymore with XP, it's ancient history.... I was wondering if there was a security rollup around post-EOL that took care of some stuff....even if it's perhaps 'unofficial'....like USP5 was for Win2k....

Well, there are 'unofficial' rollups. Goggle 'Windows XP SP4'. There also are complete installs with all updates slipstreamed into them. One of them are called Windows XP Professional SP3 x86 - Integral Edition.

Have not used them, and don't know if they can be trusted.

Re: Windows XP EoL Security Rollup...or similar?

all I remember, there was a registry key that one needed to modify / patch after the EOL updates were no more. After that XP updated again. I've got no clue if that patch still works, or if someone else got all these extra updates to be downloaded to a file.

Re: Windows XP EoL Security Rollup...or similar?

Re: Windows XP EoL Security Rollup...or similar?

what is the mastering software?
linux with wine is very good now - and you select the windows version to emulate.

Nero 6.3.1.xx

Won't run on 7 even in compatibility mode....and this guy isn't the most tech savvy.... I got the task of putting it back together on his early P4 system that had a spinner HDD fail. I upgraded it to a SSD with adapters (no SATA)...and of course his requested software is working fine.....but he still insists on web browsing with this thing (uses Opera) rather than leaving it offline and web browsing with something modern...hence checking around for a security rollup post-SP3. On something this slow, I can't even imagine trying to view modern bloatware sites, but I digress.

Re: Windows XP EoL Security Rollup...or similar?

you can reg-patch to change it to the embedded version.
i'v personally seen so many slot machines running it with blue screens that i wouldnt bother though!!

Re: Windows XP EoL Security Rollup...or similar?

Did you check the Microsoft Update Catalog site? Search: (XP sp3) The last critical update I believe was KB4500331
I believe there are unofficial sites that update xp with Xp embedded updates
