https://github.com/LordOfMice/Tools/blob/master/nvme9x.zip Full handling of Windows 9x specific requests that use Linear Scatter/Gather buffer. Update is recommended. Install either by reinstalling the device or manually copying nvme2k.mpd and nvmevsd.vxd to %windir%\SYSTEM\IOSUBSYS\ The problem and solution are described in detail in https://github.com/techomancer/nvme2k/issues/15 There are no remaining issues, except for slightly slower performance under Windows 9x than under NT. This turned out to be an issue with the implementation of standard OS service for DMA (Bus Master) controllers – it's almost impossible to receive a real requests for the controller longer than 64K over any length of time. Solution is possible, but this would require custom implementation, using non-standard code.

The facts are on the table. The issue has been identified, as has the time at which it occurred. So what now?
-
I have tried -16 before, still crashes as the February 15th version. And yes the "Couldn't initialize broker services" error also came up. Here are the logs of the -16 and -17 version in a zip file, I'm using ApiLog. Not sure if this what you meant by Kexstubs.log. FF54_16_17.zip
-
A couple of commits in the Firefox 54.0a1 (2017-02-15) build caused crashes and were reverted in the next day or two. So try -16 and -17. And check the kexstubs log files to see which apis were called.

Unfortunately 54.0a1 (2017-02-14) is the newest version I could launch, I have not managed to find out what's causing the crashing issue. I'm kinda new to Kstub.ini, and ApiLog/Dependency Walker doesn't to give any clue. I thought you could maybe help since I managed to omitted the use of DWMAPI & AVRT (see spoilers above) and I'm think you use those DLLs from other extended kernel instead of the KnownDLLs + LZ32 that jumper mentioned long time ago. However for Mypal68, I forgot to mention this but I managed to get to the point that this error comes up. I have stubbed keyed event functions to z4 and Cred---- functions to CredFree. This error is kinda familiar, I've seen it on Serpent before the GetLastError workaround. And yes nothing fixes the error as you mentioned.
-
I have no new findings. I also was stuck at 54.0a1. This is still the situation for me. I'm really keeping my fingers crossed that you'll be successful in your efforts. Mypal68: Yes, it crashes with RaiseException=v4 here. It crashes with the exchange of RaiseException to GetLastError on XP, so I haven't a better explanation yet. Latest RT's releases 20251225: These can't start anymore with the roll back of only XUL.dll 20250531 and mozsqlite3.dll (nss3.dll) 20250531. Now ICU78 and mozjs.dll have to be swapped to previous version 20251220, too. So this procedure makes less and less sense in the future. I tried changing the ICU version from 63 to 78 in XUL.dll of 20250531, but this wasn't a solution. You have to decide what is more important to you to get updates and accept the additional mentioned errors, due to Sqlite 3.50.1 of release 20250621 or to stay with the older files.

Menu bar is not reimplemented and is going away forever in future 25H2 build, sorry. Use organize menu.

My Browser Builds (Part 5)
IXOYE replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
Hi To make all new versions of Roytam browsers work under XP SP2, here is the simplest solution... download:CFF-Explorer.exe https://ntcore.com/files/CFF_Explorer.zip Launch CFF Explorer.exe and open the file in the Roytam browser Open concrt140.dll, click on Import Directory, and then click on kernel32.dll then click on the line 00037E0A - 00037E0A - 0256 and Change the function name from "GetLogicalProcessorInformation" to "FindNextFileA", and then Click on Save. do this for all roytam browsers and it now works for xp sp2. -

user57 replied to modnar's topic in Windows XP
well technical speaking actually it would be possible to make a check what technology in the XMM registers are possible there was recently a problem like that with a microsoft file (in the supermium posts) where actually SSE4.1 instructions are used more professional programms (and useally you would expected something like that from a very big money concern like microsoft) check what instructions are available (the x265 encoder/decoder does so for example) after that then the right routine is called up often it is a compiler setting problem one method to avoid this one would be to create an .obj file (what contains the functions without SSE/MMX ect.) then at first you make the check if SSE can be done if not you call up that .obj file´s function if you have SSE you call up your normal function thus you can avoid creating multiple complies like having a SSE version and a non SSE version -
Bug Report: There seems to be a bug in the reimplementation of the File Explorer Menu Bar in the past several versions of SAB. If you are trying to paste a file in File Explorer and you pull down the Edit menu on the Menu Bar, the Paste option will be graded out. But if you right click in File Explorer, on the context menu the Paste option is highlighted and works normally. Pasting from the Menu Bar, Edit menu is very convenient and it would be great to have this bug resolved.

Native (WDM) HD Audio driver for Windows 98se/Me
Deron416 replied to Drew Hoffman's topic in Windows 9x/ME
I tested your audio driver on WindowsMe installed on real hardware with Realtek ALC662 HDA on-board. The driver is installed without any problems as "WDM Sample Driver for HD Audio", the system boots and works fine but there is no sound in the speakers (tried all the audio jacks). Anyway, thank you very much for your contribution to the win9x community -
My old, underpowered Windows XP computer with a Pentium 4 single-core processor is a multiboot machine. Five OSes were independently installed and can be booted totally indepedently by the best bootmanager I have been using from the very first: BOOT-US. The OSes are Windows ME, Linux (XUBUNTU and Q4OS) and Windows XP twice. No problems here with starting OSes in the first place. BTW, my Windows XP computer is now 25 years old and fully working. I don't believe that modern computers will reach such an age.

FWIW, and off-topic, IMO any operating system version which is no longer supported could be said to be an 'older operating system'. That now even includes early versions of Windows 11!
-
I should add, we all should consider that Win10 from 2016 through 2019 shoud all be reconsidered here at MSFN as *QUALIFYING* for "older OS's". Here at MSFN, you say "Win10" and all the XP and Vista folks seem to outcast you as not using an "older OS". I am not a fan of any of the "H" versions of Win10+. ie, anything that has a version numbering like 21H2, 22H1, 22H2, 24H2, 25H2, et cetera. But Win10's that PRE-DATE that numbering scheme is VERY MUCH SO an "older OS".

Does not appear to be the same issue. For me, the issue was *ONLY* on Supermium's SETTINGS PAGES and not on visited web sites. Though it is possible that it is related somehow - a font issus is a font issue, whether it be an external page (visited web) or an internal page (settings/flags). Truth be told, I *rarely* actually visit any web pages using Supermium (it did not play well with my old hardware and there is NO USE to use it on NEWER hardware). As it's "last straw", I upgraded it from Win XP x86 to Win 10 *LTSB 2016* and that did MUCH BETTER than trying ported browsers trying to prolong XP. Will be *weeks* (if at all) before I can repurpose my old Intel Core2 Quad Q6700 where this font-indent issue exists. BUT... personal experience being my guide, it will very likely STAY on Win 10 *LTSB 2016* and it will never again "waste my time" attempting to prolong XP. "Been there, done that", as the saying goes.

Perhaps the issue is that FF 39 does not support TLS 1.3, so websites that use this protocol cannot be opened. FF 2 has an encryption engine update, so websites with TLS 1.3 can be opened there. To enable the browser to use system certificates, find (or create) the security.enterprise_roots.enabled parameter in about:config and set it to true.

If you mean this: https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/1596 This has been fixed in 138 R6. The problem was in the instructions; if the processor did not support SSE4.2, this bug could occur.

My Browser Builds (Part 5)
roytam1 replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
my UXP IA32 builds works on any processor that has CMOVcc, which Pentium II and Cyrix 6x86MX/MII and later will work. and in the past I did tried to make firefox compiling on VC2013 as far as possible: https://github.com/roytam1/fx-vc2013 and NM27 also has many changes in fx48 and even later versions (thanks arctic-fox forks for the job). but too many efforts put in and no much outcome achieved so I focused on UXP again. -

roytam1 replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
yes it is always an issue because GetLogicalProcessorInformation is missing in XP SP2. you may either update kernel32.dll with that API available(i.e. WindowsXP-KB936235-v2): http://kmeleonbrowser.org/forum/read.php?19,143253,page=10 or patching your target application with kernelxp and patchk32. https://github.com/roytam1/rtoss/tree/master/kernelxp a patched SP52 running on just-installed XP SP2 VM: or unpatched SP52 build on WindowsXP-KB936235-v2-x86-ENU installed XP SP2 VM:
