I assume that you are talking about the version of Supermium in the 'Web Browsers / Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes' section. That version does not seem to be portable or am I wrong? I am using Win XP and would like a portable version that is Google free for Win XP. I found a version at Major Geeks: Download Supermium Portable - MajorGeeks / Supermium Portable 132.0.6834.226_R5.02 Date: 08/26/2025 Size: 192 MB License: Open Source Requires: 11|10|8|7|Vista|XP https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/supermium_portable.html Then at PortableApps.com: Supermium Portable 126.0.6478.261 R7 (web browser with legacy support) Released A new version of Supermium Portable has been released. Supermium is a web browser based on Chrome with legacy Windows support (XP/vista/7/8). https://portableapps.com/news/2025-01-27--supermium-portable-126.0.6478.261-R7-released and there appear to be at least a couple versions at Github ... but they seem to be only for Windows 7 and 8. I've been wanting to try Supermium for a year or so but just not sure which version to work with and if a portable version would work. In the Supermium topic in 'Web Browsers' there is never any talk of a portable version. Would that portable version at Major Geeks be OK to go with? ... I've read the talk about using only an 'ungoogled' version. Thanks ...

Not the folks that I know. They live paycheck to paycheck, not a dime in savings, but can't keep a phone more than a mere six months or so without cracking it. They upgrade OFTEN, *very* often, not because they can "afford to", but because they eventually get tired of the cracked screen that their NEGLIGENCE added to the phone they do have. But that is also just *PROOF* that anybody and everybody can "afford" a phone. These folks were very likely raised BREAKING their toys left and right, with their parents ALWAYS telling them, "This is why you don't have NICE THINGS." So here they are, young adults, STILL BREAKING their toys, but EVERYBODY has choices to make in life, "Hmm, should I buy a new phone or pay for car insurance?" These folks opt for the phone over car insurance. Sure, not "all" of these 'kids these days', but you know what I mean, lol...

Hey SweetLow, regarding IRQ Steering.. I don't think so. I don't see it among enumerated devices, but I have attached the screenshots for various devices for reference. I'm not sure what jumbo frames mean, but if you can tell me where or how I can find the info (i.e. whether or not I jumbo frames are used on the RTL8111 device), please let me know. I'll attach logs/screenshots as necessary. By previous problem solving do you mean the one where I was trying to force detection of only up to 2 Gb RAM?

Do you have working PCI IRQ Steering? Do you use jumbo frames on this device,? And yes, I have to note that you didn't share the results of your previous problem solving...

I'm still working on this. I found my old Pentium 133 Windows 95 system and have downloaded some alternate builds of Pidgin and GTK+2. The rev-a version seems to be the mistake; the original GTK 2.6.10 was the last build for 95 except for a special build of 2.14.4. Google "gtk+2 win95-compatible version" AI Overview:

I wasn't misleading anyone. I said "pluck some 100 Euro notes", not pluck ONE 100 Euro note," or even "pluck a few 100 Euro notes!" We're all well aware that the cost of a modern PC is more than a few 100-Euro notes. I figured the reader would know how many notes would have to be plucked! But quibbles over adjectives aside, I think we actually agree! My whole point was that there's no such thing as a money tree! Most of us actually have to work quite hard to earn enough money to buy a modern PC; thus it was quite arrogant for someone to respond to a complaint about a Web site being deliberately blocked from working on an older PC with "just go out and buy a new one," as if that were a trivial thing for anyone to do!

Not me. I've never understood that. I'm still using a 10-year old 4G phone. People like you describe act as if they actually have money trees, throwing away an over-$1000 piece of equipment every 2-3 years just because there's an even more expensive version out! Because that's how the World Wide Web was designed to work, that's why! The original idea behind HTML was that, no matter how many fancy bells and whistles were added later on, a Web page should still look the same to folks using a browser that didn't support the new bells and whistles. The page may be slow and look like one of those ugly pages from the '80's, but it's still supposed to work. (And for the most part, the WWW really did work that way for its first couple of decades.) I know we got away from that ideal long ago, but I still think it's an ideal worth striving for, rather than Discourse (or whoever) shutting you out of their sites completely because your browser/OS doesn't support all the HTML features they think they might want to use someday. Someone once told me there's a difference between dealing with organic change like the shifting seasons, and the change forced on you by someone who is whipping you forward like a drover, toward a destination of their choosing, not yours. You misunderstand the situation. We don't get to choose whether to use "old school" or "new school" methods! If the Web designer used the "old school" method of sniffing the UA (e.g., chase.com), then we have to use the corresponding "old school" method of spoofing the UA just to get in! Of course, we often have to use "new school" methods as well, like those built into a Web browser like R3dfox or Supermium, or the site will likely not work well (see above) but that doesn't mean we can ignore UA spoofing just because it's considered "old school."

Probably not the first to post about Supermium but it's great. Tried K-Meleon but it didn't work right for many websites. Tried MyPal but never could get it to run. Always blew up on start with the message MyPal has caused an error in kernel32.dll......MyPal will now close. Still have and was using Firefox 45.9 and it did pretty well with the exception that on some websites, such as this one, clicking on a button wouldn't work and many websites I had to make a security exception for Firefox to load the page. But Supermium is letting me go anywhere I usually go with no problems. Everything is displayed correctly and every button works. I'm very impressed and hope the developers (I know its a modified version of Chromium) keep it up to date for any future changes to the way browsers work. My system is an HP Pavilion Media Center with dual-core Pentium D processors running XP Pro SP3 on the one drive and XP Pro Media Center Edition on the other. Very handy to have parallel installations. Anyway hats off to those who work on Supermium. Great job!

Hi, I'm running into a really weird issue. My config is: GA-EX58-UD4 motherboard, GeForce 7800 GTX, Realtek RTL8111. I installed the unofficial NVidia driver from retroweb (the issue I'll describe happens no matter what driver I install - one from mdgx, BFG's 7800 GS driver, official NVidia 77.72 driver with 6800 Ultra forced, etc.). My PC is connected via LAN to a local network with an SMB share. When I try to access a heavy/large file - e.g. a disc image mount via SMB, a large .BMP file or a video file on the SMB share, then the mouse cursor freezes on screen and stays frozen for a good minute or so. The folder on Network Neighborhood I'm trying to access also freezes for that duration. It resumes normally after a bit of wait, but as soon as I try more files to access (e.g. just clicking on a different image file on the share), it'll freeze again. This problem happens only after the GPU driver installation, not before. The issue persists even after I try R Loew's FIXINTR, FIXINTR5 or FIXEOI patches (I use only one of these at a time as instructed in manual). I also tried installing a PCI-e LAN card (it also has Realtek RTL8111), but same issue. The motherboard has Award BIOS and I can see during the PCI listing at boot, that the network controller and display controller share the same IRQ. I tried changing it in Win98 device manager, but the IRQ setting can't be changed. The interesting thing is, if I go ahead and install/update any driver via device manager, this whole problem just (temporarily) goes away - though at next boot it reappears if there is no driver installation/update. I'm completely lost on how to solve this - could anyone please help me? The only way that currently comes to mind is somehow forcing driver update (e.g. mouse) at every boot. If anyone knows how to do that or has a more elegant solution, I'd be really grateful for any help!

Dearest @nicolaasjan, your latest Vista-compatible "yt-dlp.exe" binary offering (available at this link), of v2025.09.17.084413 and compiled with cmalex's py3.11.4_x86 assembly, still contains the psapi.dll file, which is, actually, not required in the Vista SP2 variant: (I have a PyInstaller plugin for 7-zip, thus the extractor can open (Read Mode, only) PyInstaller-created Windows executables, so that's how I know ) In a nutshell, to move from the XP variant of py3.11.4, https://mega.nz/folder/jst2WJ5B#sknEpEBamwPomx8UULWuMA/file/igNWhbCb to the Vista variant, one must: 1. Delete all XP-targetting DLL wrappers, i.e. files KERNELxp.dll, ntext.dll, PSAPI.DLL, WS2_xx.dll 2. Overwrite the XP-targetting files python311.dll, _socket.pyd, _overlapped.pyd with their Vista variants inside the "vista" dir. 3. Several other files inside the original archive I find are not needed for normal operations, e.g. libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll, libwinpthread-1.dll, msvcr100.dll, _freeze_module.exe, _testembed.exe 4. What's only missing for a successful python.exe launch on Vista SP2 is file vcruntime140.dll (if MSVC++2022 isn't already installed); a fully updated Vista SP2 install (up to Vista's EoL) shouldn't need any of the Win10UCRT files, either ("api-ms-win-*.dll", ucrtbase.dll) ... What still puzzles me though, and this is a question for @cmalex to answer, if/when at all possible , is why v3.11.4 was chosen as the py3.11 port to XP/Vista+ ; 3.11.4 is a now deprecated and insecure py3.11 version; the PSF released the last bug-fix release in the form of v3.11.9 (the last for which official binaries were provided), while the latest security-fix release, in source-form only, is v3.11.13; now that I think of it, cmalex's py3.10.18 fork is a more "secure" assembly, since 3.10.18 is currently the latest security-fix release (in source-form only) of the 3.10 branch... Thank you both immensely for your on-going efforts towards keeping legacy WinOSes (XP/Vista) standing strong in 2025 and beyond!

I found out that there is problem with MS-Dart 10, i believe its update installer, it always report that some update was uninstalled, but when i run it again all updates are still there I tried DIsm++ from boot cd, but it fails for uinstalling too and it claim that some updates are not removable

I never claimed that it is! NOR did the person that originally cited the "100", it was just a passing PHRASE *not* intended to be taken LITERALLY. YOU CAN AFFORD A COMPUTER OR A MOBILE DEVICE. I have 1-million-percent confidence in that statement. YOU CAN AFFORD ONE! I did not say that a computer costs 1% of your annual income or that it costs 10% of your annual income. The bottom-line REALITY is that EVERYBODY reading this CAN afford a computer or a mobile device. And I'd all but "bet" on it that EVERYBODY reading this has MORE THAN ONE (ie, one computer plus one mobile, or one computer plus two mobile, or two computers plus one mobile, or two computers plus two mobiles). You requested another member to "Please don't mislead people". SO WHY ARE YOU DOING THE SAME? You are ACTING LIKE you have to SELL A LUNG OR A KIDNEY to "buy a computer". And I am telling you, THAT IS MISLEADING PEOPLE.

It doesn't matter. Not when a new MOBILE DEVICE costs as a half of a budget desktop PC. 100 Euro is nowhere near the price of even a budget MOBILE DEVICE from dealers. https://www.swisscom.ch/en/residential/products/smartphones/iphone.html Switzerland and UK have the lowest iPhone prices Among Europe's five largest economies, UK offers the cheapest iPhone 16 Pro at €1,095, followed by Germany (€1,119) and Spain (€1,138). https://www.euronews.com/business/2025/07/10/europes-iphone-price-gap-where-youll-pay-the-most-and-least

Thanks! My dads StartAllBack is now licensed.

It doesn't matter. Not when 56% of European market share is doing their internet activity on a MOBILE DEVICE versus 44% on a desktop PC. And the GLOBAL stats are 61% on a MOBILE DEVICE versus 39% on a desktop PC. My point remains - we the consumer are being HYPOCRITES if we think a web site should taylor specifically towards a TWENTY YEAR OLD COMPUTER when "follow the money" shows everybody, and I do mean EVERYBODY, is using their MOBILE PHONE for their banking transactions or whatnot and the REASON that their computer is 20yrs old is BECAUSE "follow the money" REVEALS that the consumer would rather buy a brand new MOBILE PHONE every two years and will spend sizable portions of income on that MOBILE PHONE yet hypoctritically claim a computer is outside of their affordability. Europe has the most affordable mobile data in the world, followed by Asia !!! https://www.broadband.co.uk/mobile-data-world-affordability By all means, DIG INTO THE REAL-WORLD NUMBERS, "numbers don't lie". Cost of a personal desktop pc is IRRELEVANT because nobody really uses them, nor expect to be able to, as they prefer to do their TikTok, or Facebook, or banking FROM THEIR MOBILE PHONE.

Please don't mislead people. 100 Euro is nowhere near the price of even a budget PC from dealers. It's more like 2000 Euro. 100 Euro PC will never be able to freely run modern Firefox.

No offense, but people that spell Microsoft this way are OFTEN hypocrites. But I shall refrain into explaining why I believe this to be true 80-plus percent of the time and NOTHING more than a personification of "have versus have not". This is NOTHING against Mathwiz but more of a GENERALIZATION to "open the eyes" of anybody that has ever spelled Microsoft in this fashion. Sorry, just my "two cents"... ie, 2% of that $ used in said spelling... To each their own, of course.

I kind of have to "disagree". We live in a world where everybody above the age of SIXTEEN or so (except me, I do not own a mobile phone!) will "upgrade" their PHONE every two to three and a half years, IF NOT MORE FREQUENTLY! Seriously, why in *H#LL* should we, the consumer, "demand" a web site function on a PC that is MORE THAN FOUR OR FIVE TIMES OLD when the owner of that web site KNOWS D#MN WELL that the consumer ALSO OWNS A PHONE ???

Use --list-formats for a list of available formats I'm a proponent of the "The more the merrier" adage , so perhaps @nicolaasjan could partially revert the upstream commit 895e762 (e.g. re-instate the IOS player_client into the default set (reverting GvsPoTokenPolicy to False), but also keep the new tv_simply client - affords ONLY dash formats), to keep his esteemed compatriot (and, possibly, others) happier? This modification (shouldn't be that hard, I feel) can be revisited if/when YT actually, completely, block IOS format download without a POT; just my 2 eurocents, ofc ...

I wonder is there any tool, which can check and fix Windows 10 registry for not booting installation? Same about component store, if im not wrong dism and sfc, are doing it, their finish fine - no error or errors fixed, but i still get stuck on boot 21a bluescreen. There is also quite a lot of dism tool, but not have enough knowledge which one could help with this booting problem.

Funny enough I used not care about it too much, I had my private IRC server for comms and still do. IRC is nice since all you need do is forward single TCP port, it works just fine even over SSH port forward using Putty legacy build under 95. I originally started test alternative communications over request from friends who used it. They wanted stuff like presence, proper file transfers, proper single and multi user chat. First I did testing on old Microsoft Communicator server disc I had laying around from friend suggestion (was before lynx/skype for business server), but it was too complex to be used in my scenario. So I ended up trying XMPP/Jabber server software since I had heard about it features and it did fit great for this purpose. First it was just XP+, then I began test other platforms. Of course I did not forget my IRC and create bridge between XMPP MUC and IRC channels So far I gotten XMPP full functionality under Windows NT/98/SE/ME with Pidgin 2.6.6, Windows Whistler build 2267 with Pidgin 2.6.6 and legacy GTK runtime (just because) and Mac Os X 10.4 Tiger (PowerMac) using PSI 0.14. Limited functionality I gotten to work under Windows 95 using PSI 0.10, Classic Mac Os 9.2.2 using tvjab and Symbian S60 3rd edition using nnproject putty 0.68 for Symbian S60 3rd (backport) and Talkonaut chat client. At this point it feels like I just love push limits of what you can with obsolete legacy and outdated stuff, but it has some good things too. Some of my friends has started use their legacy systems more after I discovered these. All sudden they can things they can do on their new system on older one and it makes them happy. I can tell this is also stuff they don't teach anywhere how get legacy stuff do certain things, it is all trial and error and hours of research but it is rewarding to beat the odds

It doesn't work, I can't run it during formatting

I'd estimate that upwards of 75% of new CSS and Javascript features fall into that category. I wish I could say "unbelievable," but the arrogance of some folks is totally believable. Just go out to your money tree and pluck off some 100 Euro (or whatever your local currency is) notes, and hand them to your local PC dealer. Doesn't everyone have a money tree? And even if you're willing to spend the money, does anyone have any idea how much work goes into making your PC, well, personal? No, they want you to just throw that old PC in the rubbish and start customizing your new PC from scratch - with a new OS version that removes support for much of the personalization that Win 7 lets us do. You will have the Win 10/11 "look" whether you like it or not! Because Micro$oft says so!

I do apologize, I'd love to follow the path jumper has started, and or research rebuilding/test alternative run-times/applications. I don't need Pidgen (prefer IRC/BBS[Mystic]/Hotline/KDX), but I enjoy working this kind of thing out. Access to my.... Retro machines? is limited, and free time is gobbled up. Supposedly, this winter will improve the situation (for awhile). @jumper has again stepped up as an upstanding member of the community. Several members here are quite inspirational to me; and I am glad they so willing help other.
