Vista 256mb Ram Patch
Not everyone has the cashflow for more ram. Myself included. My PC lives off of 512 ram.think before you express your line of though, accept that not everyone has a well paying job, and that more that 3/4 of the world lives just to meet ends meet.some of the greatest PC minds that i know of use lower ended machine just because if there app will work on a low end, then it should do great on a high end.+1I lived off my good 'ol Compaq DeskPro Pentium II machine (400 MHz, 256 MB RAM) for a good 5 years. Sure, it was sluggish. (It ran Win2k SP4 good, though.) But it got the job done.looks at the box in the garage.
@ Villain +1, totally agree.I can't imagine why anyone would want to run Windows 7 on a computer with less than 1GB of memory. That seems absurd. Also, you are selling PCs with Windows 7 on them? That seems a bit.bogus.And why many cool guys with monster 4gb RAM on their PCs want to look even more cool? That's a true computer geek deal - to make impossible come possible.
You can't imagine how fascinating is to bring an extremely old computer alive againOk, sorry for that. Seems i'm getting oldAbout running win7 on 256Mb. Someone else tried that? Just want to know a bit more about how does it performs there - i mean boottime, superbar etc. (of course not speaking about transparency. That doesn't matter for me)Edited by Guylia, 12 January 2009 - 03:24 PM.
The minimum system requirement for RAM is 512 MB. Even then, that is not enough to run most of the special graphic features. Definitely at least 1 GB RAM plus at least 128 MB on your graphics card if you want to use all of the features Windows Vista has to offer.

You sold them?I hope you put a big expiration date on those computers (they need it anyway).Does the Windows 7 beta expire?Yes, on 1st August. This from the EULA:'This software will stop running on August 1, 2009. You may not receive any other notice. You may not be able to access data used with the software when it stops running.' By the way, which XML file do you edit to bypass the RAM restriction?What do you replace or change in that XML file?Hi,A patched winsetup.dll causes the setup to bypass the memory check; it is possible to install Win7 on a computer with as little as 256 MB!If you are interested, just try the patched file. I installed Win7 on such a low end machine, and although it is a little slow, it really works!Here is the patched file: Unfortunately it is not possible to attach the file, so let me know if you like to have it sent to you.Greetz,Paulus.

The patcher file name is 'vistanomem.exe'.I've used the winsetup.dll patcher before to test Vista on a 128MB RAM computer (not so good).I tried to patch the winsetup.dll from the Windows 7 ISO but the patcher fails (saying that is a bad file?).Are you saying that I can actually use the Windows Vista winsetup.dll instead of re-patching the Windows 7 winsetup.dll?Wouldn't that cause some problems?Or is there an already pre-patched winsetup.dll for Windows 7?
Is there a patcher for Windows 7's winsetup.dll?I'd rather have a modern solution for Windows 7 than use a Vista solution that may cause some incompatibly problems later on.It looks like the XML editing is the best solution (if User345623 tells us which XML file to edit).Edited by XP1, 12 January 2009 - 07:46 PM.

I found the contents of that difference also in the original winsetup.dll of W7, and changed that to the same contents that I found in the patched Vista winsetup.dll file.
And that way I created the patched winsetup.dll for W7! You could do it for yourself, if you like.And. It really works!I have to admit: my computer is a bit slow in responding, but everything works, except for the Aero, but that is caused by my very simple videocard.I hope I have reassured you.Let me know if you have other questions.Greetz,Paulus.

Btw could you write the guide about how to patch it here or at least upload your patched file e.g to Rapidshare etc (since it's impossible to attach it)? I think that it will be very useful for some people who still have old machines.
