I am not spreading "misinformation" anywhere, and I tried following the instructions and worked, signed in and downloaded videogames until it stopped working, later on just got blue screens and had to upgrade to Windows 7 which was a waste of money and time.

You don't need to upgrade your system to use Steam with XP.

I don't recommend upgrading the OS either unless your system meets the specs.

The computer, a Compaq Evo D500 is built with a 640 Free RAM, with 25% of usage while on, a gainward geforce mx 440 64MB graphics processor, and a petium 4 2.*GHz processor

Since Windows 7 requires at least 1 gigabyte of random access memory I tried to upgrade the memory and operating system, did not work, the computer shuts down and reboots, someone mentioned a hard drive issue.

I followed the instructions posted by a member and installed low requirement videogames until it stopped working and showed me again the steamui.dll message, that made me do all the above.

As difficult as it is to find info on the client, there is a notation that you need 2GB RAM, although I have other notation that says 4GB is the minimum. 1GB won't run 64bit Win7.

The problem is, last I looked, your system can only manage 1GB max.

That being said, if you're still running XP though, and have run the client just fine, you dont need to upgrade your system at all, and you won't get that error. This will save you the trouble of gutting a system when you could just also buy a newer one. You dont need to upgrade the original one from XP.

Dual boot with a tiny linux distro for gaming, Proton seems like its come a long way.

We're talking about hardware though. Building your own Steam Machine next to that is even astronomically higher.

I was under the impression that money was an issue here. Installing a linux distro onto what they have is free, Proton would most likely allow him to play what hes already using the machine for, And they wouldn't need to completely remove themselves from XP.

The person I replied to wasn't talking about money, so IDK what made you think that.

They were having physical technical difficulties, hence relevant to this thread, where their system doesn't run it.

I might just have to leave the computer as it is right now...

I installed Windows 7 on a 40GB Maxtor IDE Drive and backups for Windows XP do not work.

I would re-install Windows XP but I do not have a copy of it...

And I might have to search for a new IDE drive

The beautiful thing is that Microsoft distributes a free version of XP that's standalone to install on Win 7, and it is substantially less of a demo as the Win 10 one. Old XP programs should technically still work, and I have verified XP Steam is fine too. Hell, I have the old UPlay launcher for it too.

The wisest thing is to have had burned an image of your XP machine before attempting to upgrade anything, Muphy's Law. Otherwise, you don't even really need to attempt it. There's no point to changing it, since there's no reason you can't have a secondary system.

Unless of course drivers exist for one operating system for all the hardware in that PC but not the other operating system.

I don't see where it supports Windows 7 or even XP to be honest. All I see in the software list there are these :

Software


Microsoft Windows 2000 SP2, Windows 98 SE or Windows NT 4.0 SP6a

The specs on that computer are pretty bad to be honest, for gaming that is. You should really consider upgrading to better hardware that of course, supports a newer operating system.

I only recognize Windows XP when the computer arrived, and had installed it several times...

I am not a technician on software or even hardware but people gave me tips to overview the system.

The best option was to get a Windows XP Service Pack 3 copy with less than 1 gigabyte of hardware ram.

I am a guest and have my interests in Half Life and Counter Strike "1.6"

If I have the wrong computer from my search result, feel free to go to HP and find the exact one you have and link it here.

If the PC still works, you can use the auto detect tool there to find the exact one you have. That one does not support XP or Windows 7 or any OS after the ones listed.

I do not have it right now, I am using a smartphone to reply.

If you are trying to say that installing Windows XP is a bad idea... I may have lost the computer drive and may have lost the entire computer.

XP might "work" on it, but that does not mean it is officially supported as an operating system for that computer.

You would need to link the exact computer here, so we can check what OS it supports.

When you get the chance, find the exact computer you have on the official website of the manufacturer. In this case, HP :

https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers

If you can even find that computer there, as it's pretty old, then look under the "drivers" download section. If you don't see drivers for the OS in question, in this case Windows XP, then that computer does not officially support Windows XP.

You can get third party drivers in some cases, but this is not a good idea often, as you can't be sure the drivers will even work correctly, or in some cases be bad to install. Only download and install official drivers for your computers.

And do you have the source of that free version of an extraction of Windows XP?
