  1. Past hour
  2. Nice that you are back, I know how it is when body acts up. I been fighting with same for last few years. It is nice to run system you enjoy for a change instead of whatever POS (Performance Optimal System) you are required at work. I know there is working port of Firefox for 7 and 8 called Eclipse Plasmafox (https://eclipse.cx/projects/r3dfox) I don't have Windows 8.1 myself only 7 currently but that one runs just fine without any tweaks and should work with any Firefox extensions.
  3. Today
  4. Interesting, I always though only NT had it. Well anyway it seems to be only be depend on VirtualAllocEx and VirtualFreeEx calls. Here is also dwi log from dependency walker I did under Windows 95 if you need it pidgin.dwi
  5. Greetings, I had some health issues and personal as well, so I only used my work pc that has windows 11. Now I finally was able to just sit down and enjoy my pc. I wanted to do a clean install, so I did. The thing is I quickly discovered, that a lot of things have changed. Steam Still works, but downloading pretty much anything ends up with download data is corrupted. Only thing that works is to download the game on windows 11 pc and transfer it over to windows 8.1. Annoyingly, windows 7 works thanks to vxkex next. Firefox I've personally seen on this forum that some of you were able to run the latest version of firefox, but I could not do it myself. Since the reinstall I wanted to switch to firefox mainly thanks to google's stupid decision about manifest v2. Can anyone guide me through running firefox on 8.1? Beamng.Drive @mjd79 was really kind at the start of this year and gave me his modified version of libcef.dll that made Beamng 0.35 working under 8.1, unfortunately, starting with 0.36 beamng executable itself is not working and I could not figure out why. This is the only game I still care about and I really enjoy it on Windows 8.1 (yes, I'm weird ). So if anyone here has knowledge about a possible fix, I'd even pay you. Thanks for any help, so glad to finally do something that I really enjoy
  6. 98, SE, and ME do have VirtualAllocEx, only 95 doesn't. Use ImportPatcher or Dependency Walker to find all missing functions. If there are only a few, I can write a wrapper.
  7. Just uninstall it and reinstall it on the new PC I had deleted the registry key too.
  8. Do you have screenshots of your settings ? SAB isn't disabled (in the Advanced tab) ?
  9. Hello Leokids123. You asked: "Can you disable your adblocker and enable Javascript?" Answer: Javascript is enabled in St52 when visiting Paypal. And this is the result when trying to sign in my Paypal account with ST52 and - hosts file adblocking disabled - DNS server adblocking disabled It is as NotHereToPlayGames said: "the SECURITY CHALLENGE CANNOT BE LOADED."
  10. As i wrote i was using 3 TB+ Unlocker from Gigabyte and it worked with GPT non system disk 4 TB + Paragon driver on Marwell controller.. Asus and MSI had problem some 2 TB unlockers too, especially Asus, because Asrock is here lower cost sub company..
  11. What is the proper procedure to uninstall StartAllBack from a computer to be retired and then using the license on the new computer?
  12. Is the name of that feature Intel Storage Matrix or Intel iRST? iRST = Intel Rapid Storage Technology
  13. Yesterday
  14. Can you disable your adblocker and enable Javascript?
  15. NotHereToPlayGames said: "Both results are TECHNICALLY THE SAME! ie, the SECURITY CHALLENGE CANNOT BE LOADED." Hello roytam1, when trying to access my Paypal account with the latest St52 (2025-08-21), I have to confirm NotHereToPlayGames: And now for NM28 (2025-08-21) with the same PC and the same system settings: That's obviously a difference ! NM28 works with Paypal and St52 won't. WHY ?
  16. May I ask Is this like an extended kernel or something?
  17. none can help me?
  18. Older boards default to IDE/Standard mode for the storage controller, but best practice since at least XP era has been to set that to AHCI before installation. So yes, it is common for a system to not boot when BIOS is reset and this is always the first thing to check. Similarly on modern systems using a supported RAID (JBOD) option if an NVMe is installed instead of AHCI,. More modern boards from ODMs within the past 2 years have been shipping with a secondary option relating to the storage controller... which name escapes me right now. Basically it is a feature that only has a benefit for RAID but has been found to be enabled by default where AHCI is the default and also on systems that don't even have a RAID option at all... such as notebooks. This feature was annoying at its launch because Windows required a driver to use it (and boot) in addition to the storage driver and Windows versions at the time didn't have a default driver and there wasn't one initially available for WinPE either. I think current Windows 11 has support for this option now but there certainly is an in-between set of Windows builds that have problems. I hate that I can't remember the name of that option but I had primarily seen it on notebooks from Asus and Clevo.
  19. And for what it is worth, my older Serpent can only get to the green box that indicates that the slide "passed" but it does not advance to the next page. It eventually times out and requests the slide mouse again. Both results are TECHNICALLY THE SAME! ie, the SECURITY CHALLENGE CANNOT BE LOADED.
  20. I now get this with both of my ISP's. ie, both land on the slide mouse page, both get the green box that the slide mouse page PASSED, but then both end up being blocked with "We couldn't load the security challenge."
  21. Okay, well, I can report that the Restore Session page **IS** working in the most-recent version of Serpent v52. I terminated via Task Manager ten consecutive times and ALL TEN presented a populated windows/tabs table. In the past, two or three of those ten would *NOT* present the table, it would just open/restore my last session **WITHOUT** presenting the table - this is not a "functioning" feature. But I can not replicate this behavior with most-recent version, ALL TEN terminations function properly.
  22. Installer works just fine. That is error it is creating. In English that says "file PIDGIN.EXE is linked to missing export function KERNEL32.DLL:VirtualAllocEx". What really baffles me here is that call does not exist on Windows 9x to begin with only on Windows NT and when I run it on vanilla Windows 98 or ME without kernel ex or anything else it starts up just fine. If program would rely on that call it would not start to begin with on 98. Pidgin 2.6.6 is last officially supporting 9x platform when using standalone legacy GTK runtime (https://web.archive.org/web/20110106073509/http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/Installing Pidgin#CanIrunPidginonWindows98ME). I just though it may have something to do with fact 95 identifies itself as 4.00.1111 whereas 98 is 4.10.2222. 4.00 is also kernel number on NT 4.0 which made me assume for reason unknown executable is thinking to be under Windows NT platform. While I can use PSI 0.10 under Windows 95 to connect my Jabber server I prefer Pidgin since it support text mode file transfers if transfer proxy fails. here is files I used http://nokiamies.net/files/sw/pidgin-2.6.6-no-gtk.exe http://nokiamies.net/files/sw/gtk-runtime-2.6.10-rev-a.exe
  23. http should make a difference. I get the blanc page with https.
  24. Hello NotHereToPlayGames, You asked: "Just how did you get to the Restore Session page?" Answer: Via Task Manager (End Process) or the "Sledgehammer Method" ,i.e. cut off the power supply.
  25. Only if the check looks into the registry can the version be spoofed. This is rarely the case. Is this the installer or the app itself? And what is the full, exact text of the message (including title)?
  26. mee too
  27. Last week
  28. That may be promising! MAYBE it's fixed. Just how did you get to the Restore Session page? What really has *never* worked for me in "newer" versions is for me to have only two windows open, each with only one tab, and Serpent.exe is TERMINATED via Windows Task Manager / System Informer / et alia.
  29. Hello NotHereToPlayGames, You said: "Newer versions of Serpent *do not work* on my end because Session Restore is a **MUST**. I have noted these Session Restore issues in the past and intermittent as they are in newer, I have *ZERO* problems with Session Restore in my older version." ------------------------------------------------------------ I have *ZERO* problems with Session Restore in my latest version of Serpent St52.
