    It's a 020-3xxx-xxxx number, which should be a standard rate London number. There is no indication that it's a premium rate number, which by law in the UK there would have to be if it were. As I'm in London myself, with a 020-8xxx-xxxx home landline number, I would expect it to have been local rate.

    My Plan C is about trying something new. I’m currently testing solutions that haven’t been tried here before. I’m in uncharted waters, so to speak. I’m deliberately not saying any more, as I don’t want to raise any false hopes.

    For experimenting with Avast, you should avoid the last XP-compatible version. As far as I can remember, is a previous version associated with fewer problems. I have to look in my archive for the exact version number.

    Is there a charge for people living in the UK, or is it covered by your standard phone tariff? In Germany, you have to dial special prefixes for support hotlines like this, which are extremely expensive. A rip-off, so to speak.

    I'm experimenting with Avast again... Good to see things moving. Might be resolved after all.

    OK, an update. I rang the local UK number for Panda's technical support. It's operated by a company called AnyTech365. They took ages to answer the phone, but just as I was thinking about giving up, the call was answered by a very nice and very helpful guy, who sounded completely English! He wasn't aware of the problem, and I had the usual lecture about the risks of still using XP, but when I pointed out that Panda make a big thing of still supporting XP, he was quite conciliatory about it! Amazingly, when I said I'd already reported the problem via a web form, when I gave him the case number, he actually found my report from last Friday on his system! It's open and pending response apparently. I told him that I had, since the report, discovered that the files in the cache folder are apparently related to the problem, and he has added that information to the report. So, a rather better experience than I thought it would be! All I can do now is wait and see what comes back, but if nothing does, at least I now know there's a real person I can talk to if I need to.

    I'm digging up this question, but the fact is no backport is even needed. The latest version (and even the latest snapshot) perfectly works on Windows 7 (see images) The only detail to note is that the Vulkan rendering does not work, falling back to OpenGL. And it seems this is related to drivers (a look in the logs shows that it requires 'VK_KHR_dynamic_rendering' and 'dynamic_rendering'). [15:39:33] [Render thread/INFO]: Backend library: LWJGL version 3.4.1+2 [15:39:33] [Render thread/WARN]: Device [NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti] does not support required extensions, missing: [VK_KHR_dynamic_rendering] [15:39:33] [Render thread/WARN]: Device [NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti] does not have required feature [dynamicRendering] [15:39:33] [Render thread/ERROR]: Failed to create backend Vulkan com.mojang.blaze3d.systems.BackendCreationException: Device missing capabilities at com.mojang.blaze3d.vulkan.VulkanBackend.throwForMissingRequrements(VulkanBackend.java:298) at com.mojang.blaze3d.vulkan.VulkanBackend.findPhysicalDevice(VulkanBackend.java:190) at com.mojang.blaze3d.vulkan.VulkanBackend.createDevice(VulkanBackend.java:105) at net.minecraft.client.Minecraft.<init>(Minecraft.java:487) at net.minecraft.client.main.Main.main(Main.java:267) [15:39:34] [Render thread/INFO]: Using graphics backend OpenGL, using drivers: 3.3.0 NVIDIA 475.14 [15:39:34] [Render thread/INFO]: Using graphics device: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti/PCIe/SSE2 (NVIDIA Corporation) So for now the latest version can run thanks to OpenGL, but as they plan to remove it once the Vulkan implementation will be stable enough for their expectations, unless this requirement is fixed, maybe it'll be required to have a wrapper that add the missing Vulkan functions in order to run later versions of the game.

    1、用Win10(19045)的input.dll和msutb.dll替换掉Win11(23h2)。 2、在Win11(23h2)上可以完美的将语言栏(使用桌面语言栏)锁定到任务栏。但是之后的StartAllBack版本就不可以了。 3、经过第一点的处理，一直适用到26h1，但是StartAllBack3.7.11.4917并不支持Win11(24h2)之上啊！ 希望你们在StartAllBack后续版本改进语言栏锁定到任务栏的功能谢谢

    I can no longer press "Alt" to toggle the menu bar when I set explorer to use the Windows 7 ribbon anymore. Anyone run into similar behaviour?

    This cache folder contains files downloaded when triggering the update button in Panda Dome settings. I also deleted all recent ones, and clicking the update button fills this folder with new ones again. If these are also corrupted or incompatible with the PSANHost process, the whole dilemma starts all over again. But as I already said, hope dies last.

    Does anyone know if it's possible to get the latest Exact Audio Copy working with KernelEx? The latest version requires XP.
  20. Dave-H
    Not to get anyone's hopes up, but I may have found a fix, or at least a workaround. In the Panda program files folder, there is a subfolder called 'cache'. I looked at that and thought, 'clearing out caches is often a good idea'. After first backing it up, of course, I deleted all the files in it. The program then ran on a reboot, with no crashes. All the instabilities seemed to have gone away. The only thing that happened was that Panda started prompting me to OK the running of a lot of program files, so maybe that's where that data was stored before. After OKing all the prompts, things were still good, but surprisingly the cache folder still didn't seem to have anything in it. The folder originally contained a .mngr file, a .util file, a .code file, and several sets of .act and .sig files, which were in pairs with the same filename. The first three files were dated from the date of the program's installation; of the other pairs, one was from back in February, and the others were all from July 3rd this year. I put all the files back, except the recent ones, which I was suspicious of, and everything is still fine. So, was there a corrupted file or files in there?
  21. AstroSkipper
    Ok. Plan B vanished into thin air. Panda Dome 21.01.00 also exhibits the same symptoms as version 22.03.05. I'll have to uninstall that, too. Without a working fix, Panda Dome will become unusable under Windows XP. Hope dies last.

    @feodor2 Cauldron Filthcare aka the well-known and beloved service Cloudflare is indeed not working in Mypal 78.0.3. Here is a link to a website checked by this damn service: https://www.sb-innovation.de/forum.php . The check loops in Mypal 78.0.3 but works fine in New Moon 28. Same with the website https://www.wilderssecurity.com/ but here I additionally got a black screen for seconds and some graphics on my desktop crashed. Maybe, you have a look into the last commits from MCP and @roytam1 for getting an idea how to fix it. At the moment, I'll immediately stop all Cloudflare checks in Mypal 78.0.3 to protect my computer.

    opengl and direct3d do not work in windows 9x using hypervisors like vmware. if virtualization is your only option, you need to use pcem, 86box or pcbox. these allow you to emulate low level hardware, which also enables voodoo 3 emulation. This is necessary for opengl and directx to function.

    No one can spoil Windows XP for me . I’m currently working on Plan C. First I need to free up some space on my hard drives so I can back up my main Windows XP partition as an image. And then it’s down to the nitty-gritty.
  25. modnar
    Heh! What a mess Pandas cooked up what with their clumsy paws and all. Did M$ order them also to sour up XP? Others sure have followed. Or it's just their selfishness. I know that all those years I had AVG, Avast and also Avira they should be paying me now from all the benefits they received from their snooping, not cancel XP out. But traitors are among us. For now I'm waiting to see if Pandas respond to Dave's message before I uninstall it for good and proceed with plan F (stands for failure). Oh by the way, PSANHost crashed 2 times today already (the second day 22.03.04 is installed), once at boot delaying boot time (when it shows tray icons) by 30s ('cause recovery time is set to 30s) and once for sport just some time ago.
  26. AstroSkipper
    Right, I’d had absolutely enough. Forget the theory that the PSANHost.exe process only crashes once a day! It’s already happened four times today. Most recently when I was uninstalling Panda Dome. Fortunately, the uninstallation routine completed its task successfully. Now I don’t have to get annoyed about it any more. That rubbish is gone. Until an official patch or workaround is released, Panda Dome is as far as I’m concerned a dead programme. At least as far as versions 22.xx.xx are concerned. I'll still observe the version 21.01.00 on my other Windows XP partition. If it crashes just once more, it will be uninstalled there too.
  27. AstroSkipper
    Of course they have one. And if you fancy having a natter with an incompetent call centre agent who doesn’t know the slightest thing about anything , then go on then. Every company needs money, and you're always welcome.
  28. AstroSkipper
    Today, it happened again. One error message and immediate process restart of PSANHost.exe. Looking at it statistically, that’s one process crash a day. I’m currently looking for an alternative to have a plan C.
  29. AstroSkipper
    Ok. AT&T. That explains a lot. If you can't simply switch routers - which is no problem here in Germany - then you're probably stuck with your provider's one. And you can't even control your router or reconnect it using an Android or iOS app? The problem is getting a new IP via power-cycling lasts much, much longer than a short software reconnect. In my case, it lasts only 5 seconds via a self-created batch script.

    Well I'm still hoping to hear back from Panda technical support, so I won't do anything until I give up waiting if nothing happens! They do have a UK support phone number too. My installation has worked fine for seven months, with no problems at all, so if it's corrupted, I have no idea how or why. The service executable hasn't changed, so I can only assume it was something that was downloaded on a synchronisation update a couple of days ago.

    I have AT&T fiber. My router is built into the fiber interface provided by AT&T. It is rather "locked down." I can't even block unwanted DNS lookups at the router, nor can I reroute DNS requests to another device, such as my Raspberry Pi (for, say, Pi-Hole). That sort of thing has to be done by configuring each connected device individually. You're welcome to prove me wrong but I doubt there's a way to force this router to obtain a new external IP address by running a script on a connected device.
