My Windows XP OS Addons and Update Pack (2023)
Zorba the Geek replied to Zorba the Geek's topic in Application Add-Ons
Can anyone suggest a solution to the problem of orphan folders left behind when using the addons to remove Windows Components. I have empty folders in my system including Outlook Express, netmeeting, msagent, and usmt. These folders are locked by either Winlogon.exe or Explorer, or both, and if you use a utility like Unlocker to remove the handle to them and delete them they are recreated during boot time. Ideally one would be able to hack a Windows DLL that maps the paths to these protected folders, but I am not expert enough to do this. The only other solution I can think of is to execute an unlocking utility using the registry Run key so that the folders are deleted at each boot time. I know of three of these utilities that support commandline usage. Iobit Unlocker deletes files and folders fully, but shows a dialogue box saying "The operation completed successfully", because it does not have a silent switch. Unlocker moves deleted files to the Recycle Bin which rapidly fills up with empty folders. Lockhunter will delete files and folders fully, but it will not execute from the HKLM or HKCU Run key for some reason.- 90 replies

Captcha provider certificate error
Karla Sleutel replied to Tripredacus's topic in Site & Forum Issues
Tripredacus, the user could be from a troublesome location, Nigeria, Russia, Uganda, whatever. I tried to make an account, they simply asked me for a word. I didn't even have to solve captchas. Though, there is an error in the word colour, a misspelling. -
Hello guys. I'm having problems with a wifi adapter. It's the TL-WN8200ND v2 that I bought especially cause it works with XP but I can't make it work. I was able to test it in another PC that has Windows 7 and it works fine. Has a lot of reach and I can make the most of the 5mb connection speed. Thought about buying it cause the prior one I have that works in XP is also a TP-Link but one of those little ones that doesn't have great range and since I'm far from the router the only way to navigate was sharing the wifi signal from the cell phone -which does see the signal- and though I manage to navigate my speed is limited to 1MB. When I plug the card at the USB port the light turns on but when installing the drivers the system fails to communicate with the card. I don't know if it may be a conflict with the old drivers of the little card? Thought that cause wanting to go back to the old card I couldn't, even when uninstalled everything that had to do with the new one, so was forced to return to an image of my system. Also thought perhaps the problem was that I used SP2 so I tried to install XP SP3 to check but it didn't work either. Any ideas?

The captcha provider on the site/forum's registration form is showing a certificate error for some users. The result is that the captcha does not appear on the form so the registration process cannot complete. Failed to load resource: net::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID for cap.js (remotely hosted by keycaptcha.com) Reported to me by a user but they did not provide system configuration. I verified using SRWare Iron 135.0.6850.0 on Windows 10 21H2.

My Browser Builds (Part 5)
VistaLover replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
I've made the uBO-legacy custom filter even more generic, because I've come across Discourse-based forums where the browser detecting script wasn't served from within an "assets" subfolder ; so, the version I'm currently using is: ! Discourse-based forums ||*/browser-detect-$script,important The now broken userscript just told Discourse's browser-feature-detection script that "CSS aspect-ratio (Fx-89+)" IS supported in UXP-based browsers; maybe Discourse are now looking for something new entirely or, besides CSS aspect-ratio, for additional (recent) features that the userscript (and, alas, UXP) doesn't support... A very savvy person would have to dissect the new version of Discourse's script, identify what new things they search for now and author a new userscript... Discourse, in March, issued the following announcement: https://meta.discourse.org/t/dropping-ios-15-other-old-browsers-in-july-2025/358131 so it's probably one or more of the new requirements there that broke things; FWIW, relative color syntax & subgrid aren't supported in UXP, probably the same applies to import-maps ... Recent upstream forum thread about Discourse's shenanigans : https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=32600 Last post there is from Aug 13th, though... -

They needed this user script: https://msfn.org/board/topic/184051-my-browser-builds-part-4/page/203/#findComment-1258499 but until yesterday they worked just fine with it. Maybe there is another (new) userscript needed. Will try supermium. -
How do you work on the website -> https://chatgpt.com? I don't work at all ->"Your browser is out of date. Update your browser to view this site properly." yeee btw: However, https://gemini.google.com: I can get/log in, but the web structure on all menus website is destroyed

On *moon 28.x.x, forums using Discourse have not been working for a long time for me. Try supermium or another chromium. -
btw, another minwinning caveat: do not delete or 0byte windows\UUS, lest your system should freeze on the "welcome" screen right before boot completion, never to see the desktop interface again.

It seems that - starting today - Discourse based forums are not anymore accessible (with Palemoon/Newmoon 27.9.6). Is there a (new) version (of NewMoon/Serpent/whatever) that still works (running on XP 32 bit)? -

VistaLover replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
Different builds exist based on the capacities/age of the processor (CPU) on the machine the browser build is to be launched; if your CPU is archaic and doesn't support the SSE instructions set, use the -ia32 variant (sometimes referred to as "-nosse"); if your CPU is somewhat newer and does support SSE (but not SSE2), use the -sse variant; if your CPU does support SSE2 (and later), then you should use the "normal" build, whose filename ends in just "-xpmod.7z"... PS: Not relevant for XP users, but if you're on Win7+ x64 OS and want to use roytam1's NM28_x64 fork (you may have your reasons ), there's a fourth (64-bit, only) build variant that's meant for CPUs supporting AVX2 ; filename ending in "-w7plus-avx2.7z"... So, now you know ... -

Potentially yes. https://www.itnews.com.au/news/windows-server-sql-server-get-six-year-support-extension-444429 According to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/faq/extended-security-updates?culture=en-us&country=us Does this offer replace Premium Assurance? Premium Assurance is no longer available, but we will honor the terms of Premium Assurance for customers who already purchased it. So if at least one company out there purchased Server 2012 (R2) Premium Assurance between March 2017 and July 2018 (while it was available) Microsoft should continue to provide Monthly Rollup Updates on the Microsoft Update Catalog accessible to everyone until 2029.

You know what, I didn't have any issues. That's a pretty typical message for SAB. 25H2 was just pushed yesterday, so I wouldn't worry too much. And also the current preview build for 24H2 is pretty much the same as 25H2's build, just with an enablement package to change the servicing cycle.

I have installed KB5054156 Enablement Package for 25H2. After Restart SAB told me there is no Support for this Windows Version and provide the choice to activate or deactivate. I have activate it and for now it works. Is there an update needed to get SAB working without any problems in 25H2?

Does anybody know if Server 2012/2012 R2 are eligible of Grandfathered ESU like 2008 SP2/2008 R2? I remember that somewhere it said support is stretched till 2029 but I am not quite sure. It would be nice to know which products are covered by that clause. I think it was like 3-5 years more support after the end of Extended Support, right? Fun Fact: In fact, Internet Explorer 9 and 11 are the longest-supported Browsers under Windows Vista, 7, and 8, including ESU updates. What an irony, since IE was already "officially" declared dead in 2022.

I have a similar problem and downgraded to SAB 3.9.12 in the meantime. My OS is Windows 11 24H2 26100.4652. For me Compact Mode is enabled in File Explorer Options and I use the Windows 7 Explorer mode with this theme: https://www.deviantart.com/niivu/art/pi11z-for-Windows-11-1084568949

I mention this since it's been a while and I don't recall if it's relevant, but I noticed that (sort of) early 25H2 build 26220.5770 causes 3.9.14 to put up its message of not being intended for the build, followed by disabling itself. This happens upon completion of the Feature Update to get to the above build. You can enable it though, and all is well that I can see.
