Does anyone have WindowsXP-KB955704-x86-ENU.exe

I need it to read 64GB SD cards on my XP netbook, and that includes
the card in my camera.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/955704 would be the place to
go, and several webpages point there, but it doesn't have it anymore.
It has these, including XP 64 bit!!!

The following files are available for download from the Microsoft
Download Center:
Update for Windows XP, x64-based version
Download the WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB955704-x64-ENU.exe package
now.
Update for Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2, x86-based version
Download the WindowsServer2003-KB955704-x86-ENU.exe package now.
Update for Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2, x64-based version
Download the WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB955704-x64-ENU.exe package
now.
Update for Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 and for Windows
Server 2003 Service Pack 2, ia64-bsed version
Download the WindowsServer2003-KB955704-ia64-ENU.exe package now.

Why does it have 64-bit but not 32bit. Can I use the server2003 file?
Or I'm hoping one of you has it stored where it was first dl'd. Is
that the Windows directory?


Backtrack using the archive.

I won't bore you with the details. Here is your link. The
file is not at this address on the Microsoft site, but is stored
on archive.org.

You did it again, Paul. Thank you.

I went to the netbook which has Agent and I dl'd the 3000 posts, I
think it was, in this ng since last September, so I just clicked on
this link and it downloaded, then I ran it, then I had to restart
windows, then I connected the camera, and it saw all the photos on the
card. No suggestion about formatting. So simple once you gave me
the link.

And I've noticed this trend elsewhere. Some hillbillies think it's
funny to remove the link for the x86 version of WinXP, because
"WinXP isn't supported any more", then leave the x64 one sitting


I thought "isn't supported" meant they weren't going to work on
problems, not that they'd take files away from us, just because we
hadn't dl'd them yet.

there (which hardly anyone needs) because... well, who knows.
Because it's what hillbillies and web monkeys do I guess.


I guess so. What happens when one of each mate with each other?

The 955704 is also *not* listed on the catalog server.


I don't know what the catalog server is. Does that mean even the 64
bit people can't get a copy?

BTW1, I do know about the Wayback machine but I very rarely think of
it, expecially wrt files, as opposed to the appearance of pages. That
guy must have some incredibly big harddrives. "491 billion web pages
saved over time" and a very underplayed, one word "DONATE". My gosh,
there are 170 people working on this! I gave him a small amount.

BTW2, earlier when I was trying to resolve this, I looked in the
Windows directory of the netbook, and though for some silly reason I
had deleted all the KB uninstall programs from the desktop (before it
broke) I have loads of empty space on the netbook so they were all
there. Quite a few KB's with numbers higher than 955704, but not
that one. In fact most of the numbers are missing because they were
never suggested by windows update. They really have a lot of nerve
deleting this.

BTW3, I would have had to scale back to 32gig, and though 64 gig will
hold 15,000 photos, more than I will probably take in 50 years, I want
it to be big, just in case I see something worth video-recording. I
would hate to run out of memory in the middle of a big news story.
(The camera says it will take a maximum of 20 minutes, but I can do
that over and over.) Googling, I see that for hi-def video from 24
to 6 mbps, I can get between 640 to 1440 minutes. That's over 6 hours
to 24 hours, minus whatever I've already used for still photos. Though
I don't actually know how to convert what the camera manual says into
any of these values. Still, that should be enough to record until I
fall asleep.

Thanks again, for having the patience to read 'til the end.
