I have now installed fltmgr.sys v5.2.3790.6912 (11Jul2019) on my old 700MHz Inspiron 7500 under WinXP SP3, and everything works fine. Browsers under WinXP SP3 work MUCH less sluggishly than with the original WinXP SP3 build 5512 when JavaScript is turned on with this old, slow laptop. I have made this posting with New Moon with fltmgr.sys build 6912 on this old laptop under WinXP SP3, which has now become much more useable. Thanks! Identical versions of fltmgr.sys v5.2.3790.6912 (11Jul2019) are contained in KB4512787 and KB4512788. I have not yet decided between the two builds 5107 and 6912 for WinXP. For now I will keep build 6912 installed under WinXP, to see whether any issues come up.

Where to download Revised SP6a Polish? What is the name of the file with this service pack? I use this SP6I386.EXE CRC32: E4AD7CDD

I've downloaded the SP6a that has this revised SP6a,which fixes a bug regrading SP6. You probably got the wrong SP6a...

I've been using the Registry Tweak posted by GrofLuigi to completely disable it since the Windows 7 era and didn't have any problems with that feature after that. From when I last tested, it still works up to Windows 11. To configure manually : Go to the Control Panel ->Administrative Tools ->Computer Management ->In the left panel, open Performance Monitor -> open the "Data Collection Sets" and click on "Startup Event Trace Sessions" -> In the right panel, double-click on "Readyboot" -> In the "Trace Session" tab, you can now uncheck the "Enabled" checkbox As an alternative, you can also set the Maximum Filesize of the Log File to 0 in these setttings (in the "Stop Condition" tab) if you dont want to completely disable the ReadyBoot Service itself.

What is Revised version ??? I have only Service Pack 6a: https://ibb.co/RkX7N2pJ

Exactly! I'm glad you noticed the difference! That is how much filter manager is important for the system (it's a tree that all mini-filters are branches of) and bloody Microsoft scum put such pile of horse manure into WindowsXP_SP3!!! Outrageous! I'm superglad it works out for you. I'm glad it works well for you too! It's such an important part of the system and really can make a difference. I just don't know how on my multi core and multi partition and multi disk system it can't work right... Sigh.

6 SP1? My SP is SP6a,aka Revised Service Pack 6a Here you go!

REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\WMI\Autologger\ReadyBoot] "Start"=dword:0 Try at your own risk. If it becomes totally unbootable, change ""Start"=dword:1" from Safe Mode or WindowsPE. GL

KB3045999 There's also fltmgr.sys same version 5.2.3790.5107 (srv03_sp2_qfe.130106-1434) I installed it today as I specified, and saw the difference compared to Windows XP before the update file. It's as you said, but didn't have any problems with the ESU Update version KB4493563.

Can't. I am in the middle of replacing my 17/18yr old Core2 Quad Q6700 computer with my new gift-to-self (take advantage of seasonal sale pricing). A screaming fast (compared to everything else I have) Intel Core Ultra 7 265. And no, sorry to say, but Supermium will *never* be used on this new computer, sorry, it just isn't. From memory, without screencapping, it's any-and-all input dropdown boxes in the GUI. Text inside the input dropdown is shifted to the left and half of the first letter is not present, buried by the input field border/padding. To be fair, the Supermium I had on the Quad Q6700 "might" have been a version old, not the most recent.

Make sure you don't mean ReadyBoost. That was something introduced with Vista that let you use external (USB) drives for page file, but it never seemed to work very well.

I've got Win-7 Ultimate 32-bit installed on a Dell 6420, it was installed from a pre-configured install image with rolled-in updates as of the fall of 2016 (when telemetry started). It has never done any windoze / micro$oft updating. A blue-screen crash has been happening more and more often over the past year. A few months ago I swapped out it's 4 gb of ram for new 16 gb. It happened again this morning. It takes a few minutes to reboot after these crashes, it sits there with black screen, mouse pointer only, while the drive is doing something. I looked at event logs, I see this: Session "ReadyBoot" stopped due to the following error: 0xC0000188 The maximum file size for session "ReadyBoot" has been reached. As a result, events might be lost (not logged) to file "C:\Windows\Prefetch\ReadyBoot\ReadyBoot.etl". The maximum files size is currently set to 20971520 bytes. I have no idea what this readyboot thing is. It may not be causing the crash, but is it causing the long start-up? Can I configure this readyboot, optimize it or maybe eliminate it if it's not doing anything useful?

Can you put up a screen grab showing the issue you have? Then I can compare it with what I have. As I said, it all looks fine to me, but I may be missing something if it's quite subtle!

oh, youtube started providing AI-upscaled videos, I wonder if there is switch to stop yt-dlp downloading such contents? source: https://mk.pars.ee/notes/agjpqvu44z7300tu

Lucky you! My fonts in Supermium have ALWAYS been offset on the left. Strictly referring to GUI fonts, in XP and 10. Fonts rendered on web pages have always been fine. Thorium had this font alignment issue also. But I only ever tried one or two Thorium versions so unsure if ever fixed.

I have five different installations of Supermium, x86 and x64, on different machines and operating systems, Windows XP and Windows 10. FWIW, I have never been aware of any problems with fonts on any of them.

FYI: Thw BSOD 07b was caused by the Intel RST driver. I had to add the Standard SATA AHCI Controller driver (mshdc.inf) to the VHD and then do a safe boot to remove the Intel Controller driver. After that, I was able to use the VHD in Vbox.

I tested the new Chromium on Win XP. It runs faster than Supermium. But there are a few things to note. The RAM consumption bug when C++ is installed can be resolved by adding the corrected_api_sets.zip folder from Supermium. In XP x64, there is enormous virtual memory consumption, and I haven't found a solution. WebGL is completely disabled, even the software version, which means that websites that require it do not work. Manifest v2 is available but disabled by default. You need to add the parameter --disable-features=ExtensionManifestV2Unsupported,ExtensionManifestV2Disabled to the shortcut. To disable the notification that the OS is not supported, add --test-type to the shortcut. The browser requires a CPU with SSE3. Browser crash during import fixed in version 144.

Apparently, I'm not the only one who has noticed such abnormal delays when starting up Panda while system start: 16 minutes! That's record-breaking. Any other here observing similar issues? Until Panda fixes this bug, I will avoid using the latest version 22.03.05. When starting my Windows XP computer, I am not prepared to accept lazy compromises. The start-up process must run smoothly as I always managed in the past. Panda offers two different installers, one of which is a "legacy" one. This installer does not solve the delayed start-up problem either. All 22.0x.0x versions have start-up problems on my computer. Especially the PSANHost.exe process leads to a full utilisation of the system during computer start-up. During my tests and investigations, I have now also looked at older versions. One of these seems to run much better, with a start-up behaviour that appears almost normal. Let's see if this proves to be true over the next few days.

I'm archiving a bunch of historical Microsoft updates, device drivers and software packages at the moment, and I'm trying to find one in particular - the download version of the Microsoft IntelliType Pro 1.2 keyboard software for Windows Millennium Edition. The file name is itp12eng.exe, and it was available for download from Microsoft's keyboard website (microsoft.com/keyboard) between 2000 and 2002 or so. Unfortunately the Internet Archive Wayback Machine didn't grab any of these, I get almost no hits on any of the search engines I've tried, two hits in FTP searches but the FTP servers they point to (ftp.pcf.pl and ftp.mustek.co.za) are both long gone. I found the 1.2 installer on a CDROM image available in the Internet Archive's catalogue, but that version attempts to install Internet Explorer at the same time, which is something that the download version of the bundle didn't do. So far I've managed to archive the other IntelliPoint, IntelliType and Sidewinder software bundles, but this one particular one has been impossible to track down so far. What makes this more complicated is that version 1.2 was specifically for Windows Me - Microsoft continued to distribute version 1.1f for Windows 95/98 around the same time, but that fails with an error when attempting to install on Millennium. I'm sure it can be made to work, but for the sake of completing this archive, I'd like to track down the original file. If anyone has a lead on where to find it, or has it backed up on one of their hard drives, I would love to get ahold of it.

https://github.com/LordOfMice/Tools/blob/master/nvme9x.zip 1. Partial handling of Windows 9x specific requests that use Linear Scatter/Gather buffer. 2. Cut out hassles came from NT code, in particular two or more NVMe controllers should detected and work without problem now.

But IE 6 or 6 SP1 ?? Take screenhot. What version SP in WinNT? Take screenshot menu start > Run >winver Take screenshots like this:

it is fine as long as DLLs are newer than 3 Dec, as I don't rebuild whole thing.

is the missposition of the fonts still persistend ? in the past there was a smaller discussion, i reverted that GDI problem once and saw that they changed the distance handler from float to int i didnt have the problem of missposition, however in that gdi-chromium i think the int variant was choosen but if you dont revert it to float then probaly some fonts are missplaced or even not visable who dont know what a font is : a font is like every sign ABC123@|^ ect. - it is key for a webbrowser
