OK, I have now tried it on my netbook, using Supermium 144. I'm sure my desktop at home will be the same. It seems to work for me. I opened my image viewer (xnview classic), opened an image, right clicked and selected 'copy'. I then opened this reply, right-clicked, and selected 'paste'. The image appeared as an attachment and was inserted into the post. The keyboard shortcuts also worked. So, I don't know why it's not working for you I'm afraid. This is off-topic here of course, perhaps if you can't resolve it you could report it in the site issues section.

I wrote that there is no portable one, but of course I immediately unpacked ungoogled-chromium_150.0.7871.46-1.1_installer_x86.exe - unfortunately, web watsap does not work even with this version of chrome... so... supermium for web whatsup, . [and serpent55/mypal68 for xp; that's all]

It is not the restriction or profile storage space. It's the "editor" that MSFN uses. It **CHANGED** recently. Ever since the time span where xper had to manually delete "fake profiles" and whatever else was done at the time. In this "editor" that I type this very message in, you **USED TO** be able to **PASTE** a screencap from the OS's "clipboard". You **USED TO** be able to **PASTE** jpg/bmp/etc just by TYPING in this "editor" box and doing a "ctrl-v" from *ANY* image editor whereupon the "ctrl-c" was done from within that image editor. NOW, the *only* way to post images is to use a hosting service or link to an image via "Other Media". It didn't *USED TO* be that way, we could just PASTE into the "reply editor".

And here is a temporary polyfill for GitHub's editor issue The GitHub editor does not work in Mypal 78.0.3: // ==UserScript== // @name GitHub Editor Fix // @namespace https://msfn.org/board/profile/311648-astroskipper/ // @version 1.0 // @description Polyfills Array.prototype.toSorted for GitHub editor compatibility created by dainiusb from GitHub // @author AstroSkipper / Gemini // @match https://github.com/* // @match https://*.github.com/* // @run-at document-start // @icon https://github.githubassets.com/favicons/favicon.png // @grant none // ==/UserScript== (function() { // Polyfill Array.prototype.toSorted if missing if (!Array.prototype.toSorted) { Object.defineProperty(Array.prototype, 'toSorted', { value: function(compareFn) { return this.slice().sort(compareFn); }, writable: true, configurable: true, enumerable: false }); } })();

You can select the version of the SSUAO up to 78 at the moment. That might change in the next releases. We will see. The current discussion can be read here: Mypal 78.0.3 - Cloudflare challenge loops and their solution

I don't know. I've always just browsed for my image files, added them to the attachments on the post, and inserted them into the post. You should be able to drag and drop too, but I've never tried pasting directly from the clipboard. I'm not at home at the moment, but I will try it when I get back to my desktop machine again. I know some members have restrictions on the number of attachments they can store, maybe you need to delete some old ones. I can't remember what the restriction is, and I don't now have one as I'm a moderator. 😁

Technically, *ALL* Chrome/Chromium browsers can be made PORTABLE. Just use a "loader" or "Chrome++". And *never* (my opinion!) use any "installer". None needed. Just use 7Zip (or similar) to extract the contents of mini_installer.exe for 32bit or min_installer_x64.exe for 64bit. Same goes for the ungoogled versions, just extract using 7Zip (or similar). Chrome++ is found here: https://github.com/Bush2021/chrome_plus/releases (I use v1.11.1 because of preference on older method for [RunAfter] not popping up a visible command prompt). Most importanly, *ALL* versions of Chrome/Chromium and *ALL* of their forks **ARE** portable - you just have to extract them and use with your preferred "loader method".

(??) --> https://github.com/e3kskoy7wqk/Chromium-for-windows-7-REWORK/releases/tag/150.0.7871.46 but which ones?: do-not-download-this-chrome-win32-syms.zip do-not-download-this-chrome-win64-syms.zip mini_installer.exe mini_installer_x64.exe ungoogled-chromium_150.0.7871.46-1.1_installer_x64.exe ungoogled-chromium_150.0.7871.46-1.1_installer_x86.exe hmm, there is nothing portable...

No, pasting into the reply editor NO LONGER WORKS. It used to. For many years. Just paste the contents of a "print screen" or clipboard directly into the reply editor. It no longer works, *forcing* us to use "file hosting service BS" instead.

I just found out that PowerToys' Always On Top module causes that bug, when running PowerToys as administrator.

Not as far as I know. An image is an image, and I can't imagine that the forum software has any way of telling if something is a screencap. It looks like you managed to do it in your subsequent post, so it was probably a temporary glitch. We're having a lot of problems with bots at the moment apparently, which is why the forum has been a bit flakey recently.

@xper / @Dave-H / @Tripredacus Is it "intentional" that screencap images are no longer able to be pasted into MSFN replies ???

Yes, that is the end. I no longer use XP and "to each their own" that prefer to remain on XP. I recommend/suggest the e3k-blah forks. These **WORK** on XP. https://github.com/e3kskoy7wqk/Chromium-for-windows-7-REWORK

The tool I have been using for decades is Norton Ghost in version 2003 for very old disks with standard MBR ( no GPT, EFI or UEFI) and a more recent version 15.0 for a bit newer disks like SSDs. This is a programme that has always allowed me to clone my computers perfectly, without anything failing or going wrong. For modern computers, you’ll probably have to resort to Acronis, Macrium or Aomei if GPT with EFI/UEFI is in use. And to clone other partitions directly from my Windows XP, I have been using an older version of DiskGenius – a very good partition manager – successfully for years.

I used this to image my XP drive. https://rargb.to/torrent/acronis-true-image-build-42980-bootable-iso-crackshash-6635281.html You'll want to image the whole disk so that it copies to boot record too.

360chrome: https://web.whatsapp.com/ does not work (but it was ok recently), now it requests chrome +100 (but: in the UA it is > 100). will it stay like this forever? :) (in post no. 1 of this topic, the links for download 360chrome are down - is that the end?)

Update notification! I have revised my article "My essential tools for solving problems in Windows XP — Part 2 — File extractors and packers". 7-Zip has been updated to the version 26.02. And some files in the package UniExtract2 2.0.0 RC 4 Nightly has been updated on 11.07.2025, too. Cheers, AstroSkipper

The last time I 'cloned' I did a backup of the bootable partition of an HDD and a restore to a new SSD VM. This was from XP to a Linux Mint VM using Macrium Free (v7.1). I was amazed at how well it worked given the hardware changes involved. Obviously, in my case there were further activation issues with Windows XP in the VM but I didn't do anything special to restore the Macrium backup to the VM. This was some time ago but I seem to remember the restore is done having booted the VM into some kind of Macrium recovery environment from where you perform the restore. Prior to that (even longer ago) I used MiniTool Partition Wizard Free (v9.1)'s Copy Disk function to copy an XP HDD to a new HDD. In that case the HDDs and hardware was all identical. Ben.

> maxphyspage=39999 JFYI, MaxPhysPage measured in hehadecimal numbers. So 40000h - 39999h is 26215h, not 1. > patch9x would be roughly equivalent > i cannot run patchmem if patch9x already gets installed > i was thinking that maybe i could get the best of both worlds for combining the patches You have to think twice. patch9x just includes patchmem, what else you are waiting? >windows 95 osr 2.5 >i searched vmm.vxd 1. It's time to read patchmem manual. There is described which files installer tries to patch. 2. If I remember correctly USB supplement should install newer version of VMM.VXD to %windir\system\vmm32\ if you wish to see this working.

I've had XP installed on my 60GB SSD since about 2014, and somehow it's still my main OS. I have a more recent drive running Mint I can boot to as well. With the SSD now in its twilight years, though still no actual errors, I got a new 1TB SSD and tried to clone the XP disk to that. I used Clonezilla on a bootable thumb drive. Both old and new SSDs connected to SATA. I tried a couple of times using the "disk to disk" option. One time with "copy partitions" (I have two partitions on the XP disk, Windows, with programs on another) and one "expand" to fit. But neither case would boot. I unplugged the original disk and in the BIOS selected to boot from the new disk. It would begin, and then just stop at a screen showing the XP logo, the next step should be log on, but it never proceeded. I tried F8 safe mode, it showed the safe mode desktop for a second, then the same frozen logo page. If I plugged in the old disk as well, then set BIOS to boot from the new disk, after several seconds the original disk would boot. If I boot from the old disk I can see the new disk and all the files on it, looking fine. Any suggestions, aside from clean reinstall?

I am testing patch9x (jhrobotics) on a windows 95 osr 2.5 system with intel ich7-m chipset (dell latitude d820) with 4 GB ram. i was under the impression the patch9x would be roughly equivalent or better than patchmem from rloew, but unfortunately, it seems to be regressing in some areas. i specifically downloaded "patcher9x-0.9.91-boot.ima", used winimage to extract the contents, and only integrated the "patch9x.exe" + "CWSDPMI.exe" files in my custom 98SE boot disk iso burned to a cd, (patch9x needs to run from "a:" directory). The author of patch9x mentioned that fixes from patchmem were largely integrated with patch9x ( not fully ) but most stuff implemented and to work on w95 as well, at least in the most recent release 0.9.91, which is the one i am using, however, i cannot set maxphyspage at 40000 or higher, where as in the past with patchmem, i was able to get up to at least 48000 without problem. "maxphyspage=39999" or lower does work ( roughly 922 MB ram ). minfilecache and maxfilecache were set to 52224 throughout testing with "maxphyspage=30000" to at least up to "maxphyspage=48000". Additionally, i cannot run patchmem if patch9x already gets installed from beforehand which i do for install media ("c:\win95") in this case before running setup. i was thinking that maybe i could get the best of both worlds for combining the patches, but this doesn't appear to be possible. running "patchmem /m" says something about vmm32.vxd already being patched and vmm.vxd not found. i searched vmm.vxd in both my install media and c: drive and could not locate such file, only vmm32.vxd is present.
