Скачать бесплатно Windows Accelerator 2.0

Windows Accelerator – утилита для тонкой настройки системы с использованием скрытых и необычных параметров. Работает с операционными системами Windows 9x/ME/NT/2000/XP. Теперь десятки различных параметров доступны в одной программе, что избавляет от необходимости искать их в системе. Более того, стандартными средствами системы невозможно изменять большую часть этих параметров, т.к. они доступны только при редактировании реестра вручную.

Благодаря модульной структуре программы Windows Accelerator есть возможность подключать DLL-библиотеки, расширяющие функционал. Это также упрощает использование программы, поскольку в каждом модуле содержатся настройки, схожие по тематике.

Утилита Windows Accelerator позволяет не только осуществлять настройку под свои нужды, но и ограничивать доступ к определенным возможностям системы и программам. Это очень полезно для системных администраторов, а также для родителей, которые хотят защитить компьютер от необдуманных действий ребенка. Помимо прочего в программе присутствует модуль отслеживания загруженности оперативной памяти.

Чтобы скачать бесплатно Windows Accelerator, не нужно никаких специальных разрешений, ведь программа распространяется свободно.

  -?               Help information for the setup flags 

   (shown below)

  -S               Silent install (no user prompts)

  -B               Forces a system reboot after installation

  -P <path>       Supplies target installation path

  -A               Extracts all driver files (does not install 

   driver) to <path> if -P is also supplied, or 

   the default directory otherwise

  -N               Installs all components except driver

  -O <name>       Supplies target Start Menu Program Folder 

   name if installing Companion applet

  -L <number>     Forces a particular language install (See 

   the product documentation for a table 

   mapping <number> to language)

  -build           Displays build number

  -f2 <path\name>  Creates a log file in <path> with <name>;

   this is to be used during silent

   installation.

  -noqfe           Prevents Microsoft patch from being

                   installed.  The patch prevents a blue screen

                   from occurring when attempting to play audio

                   content from CDs in digital mode on

                   Windows 98, Windows 98 SE, and Windows Me.

*** «Package-for-the-web» requires that an additional -A be

placed before any flag.  Therefore, an example file extraction

would be IATA_CD -A -A -P C:\<path> ***

Notes:  Flags and their parameters are not case-sensitive.  

        Flags may be supplied in any order, with the 

exception of the -S and -L flags which must be 

supplied last.  When using the -A flag, a target 

        path may be specified via the -P flag, and the -O, 

        -L, -S, and -N flags are ignored.  When using the -P 

        or -O flags, a space is required between the flag 

        and the argument; when using -L and -f2, however, there 

        should be no space.  When using the -f2 flag,

a log file name and path must be specified.

To load just the driver as outlined in the Microsoft*

document, «Deployment Guide Automating Windows NT Setup,» 

use the supplied TXTSETUP.OEM file included in this 

package and insert the lines below into the UNATTEND.TXT 

file.  This method is available for both Microsoft* Windows* 

NT* 4.0, Windows 2000, and Windows XP. (For Windows NT 4.0,

the TXTSETUP.OEM, INTELATA.INF, and INTELATA.SYS file need to

first be extracted from the compressed .CAB file.  For

Windows 2000 and Windows XP, the idechndr.inf, IdeBusDr.sys,

idechndr.sys, and Txtsetup.oem files need to be extracted.

To extract these files, run ‘SETUP -A -P <path>’ as described

above.)

Yes, you read it right. This is done by backporting files for WinXP back to Win2000.

I have tested this on VirtualBox versions below:

• v5.0.10.r104061 (… in 2017, see archived post here)
• v5.2.44.r139111 (Thanks to Nicolas for prompting me to update this)

Part 0: A few notes

• Win2000 refers to “Windows 2000 Professional with SP4”. I didn’t test on earlier version of Win2000.

• WinXP refers to “32-bit Windows XP Professional with SP3”. I didn’t test on earlier version of WinXP.

• The WinXP installation must be a guest OS in VirtualBox with working Direct3D acceleration. It would not work if your VirtualBox version does not support Direct3D acceleration for WinXP guest OS.

First, you need to copy related DLL files from WinXP guest OS.

For v5.0.10.r104061, they are

- d3d8.dll
- d3d9.dll
- VBoxD3D8.dll
- VBoxD3D9.dll
- VBoxOGL.dll
- VBoxOGLarrayspu.dll
- VBoxOGLcrutil.dll
- VBoxOGLerrorspu.dll
- VBoxOGLfeedbackspu.dll
- VBoxOGLpackspu.dll
- VBoxOGLpassthroughspu.dll
- wined3d.dll

For v5.2.44.r139111, they are

- d3d8.dll
- d3d9.dll
- VBoxD3D8.dll
- VBoxD3D9.dll
- VBoxOGL.dll
- wined3d.dll

• Some kernel32 APIs required by these DLL files are only present on WinXP.

• To make them work on Win2000, we need to mod them to load alternative DLL instead, which I named as kernel31.dll. It forwards most API calls to the real kernel32.dll, and provides stub for APIs that are not supported by Win2000.

• If you are interested in creating such DLL by yourself, you may refer Part X. Otherwise, please refer text below.

Download kernel31.dll to Win2000 guest C:\WINNT\System32

For v5.0.10.r104061, please use this.

For v5.2.44.r139111, please use this.

Mod DLL file

To mod DLL file, you need a hex editor. I recommend HxD as it is free, small and serves the purpose well.

1. Open the file with hex editor.
2. Search (Ctrl+F) for text-string kernel32.dll.
   Be careful. Sometimes there are more than one occurence in a file.

3. Overwrite so it become kernel31.dll and save the file.

Part 3: Configure your Win2000 guest OS

Checklist:

• Install VirtualBox Guest Addition as usual.
  No need to tick “Direct3D Support”.
• Install DirectX 9.0 redist.
  If you hit issue, try older version such as “DirectX 9.0c (Dec 2006)”.
• Copy the related DLL files to C:\WINNT\System32.
  You may want to backup the original files to somewhere before overwriting them.
• Open your guest OS settings, go to Display and
  • Tick “Enable 3D Acceleration”
  • Set video memory to 128MB

Finally, run dxdiag to see if the Direct3D acceleration is working.
It is expected to fail in Direct3D 7, but succeed in Direct3D 8 and 9 test.

Here is the result:

Part X: Creating the Kernel31.dll

If you read this, I assume you already know how to create a DLL and export C functions. Here I’m just going to list out the important points. For complete source code, please refer to my repo.

• First, find out what kernel32 APIs are needed by the related DLLs.

• Then, find out what kernel32 APIs are already available in Win2000.

• For APIs that are already available in Win2000, you just need to forward API calls.
  To forward API calls, use pragma to instruct the linker to do so.
  For example, if the API name is AddVectoredExceptionHandler, you write the pragma like this:

  #pragma comment(linker, "/export:AddVectoredExceptionHandler=kernel32.AddVectoredExceptionHandler")
  

  to forward the API call to the real kernel32.dll.

• For APIs that are required but not available in Win2000, you need to write the function yourself.
  Then, forward the API call to your own exported function, with pragma like this:

  #pragma comment(linker, "/export:AddVectoredExceptionHandler=kernel31.My_AddVectoredExceptionHandler")
  

  And remember to export the function you specified. In this example, it is My_AddVectoredExceptionHandler.

• Make sure you use .def file, or the exported symbol will be decorated and your DLL wouldn’t work.

Pro Tips:

• To build a lean DLL for Win2000, try older MSVC such as “Visual C++ 5.0”.
• Use Dumpbin to get the EXPORTS and IMPORTS of DLL.
  IMPORTS let you know what APIs are needed by a DLL.
  EXPORTS let you know what APIs are provided by a DLL.
