Hi, I just buy a new board ASROCK N100DC-ITX . It seems to have full XP support: CSM in Bios (I just check), Lan Realtek RTL8111H , Sound Realtek ALC897, Serial, USB2,3, nvme, Sata, PS/2. The Serial port is the classic one, which means, that you can have a lot of fun with experimenting with it. And you can put an PCI-e full graphik card into it. It has Mini-ITX formfactor. Power consumption is 6(!)Watt and it is faster than my board for daily use with an i920 cpu. Passiv cooled. You need a 19V power supply for it (any notebook, even 12V should work). I will report soon Dietmar

Hey, One thing I really, really want to be able to do is unfold folders you've pinned to display contents, exactly like it does when you press "All Programs" Like here, press the Windows Accessories, you'll get the content; However, if you pin a folder to the start menu, it'll just open it in a new explorer window. Is it possible for folders to have that functionality when pinned to the front? or create something that has that functionality? Thanks

Yes, I recently also started to encounter weird website behaviour, I reported here. https://msfn.org/board/topic/186000-posting-test-string-boot-ini-causes-http-403-forbidden-error/?do=findComment&comment=1264723 Interesting, I have no "forbidden", but the posting sometimes takes long time to pass through. Living in Holland, I have a very fast internet connection.

OK! Thank you for your time.

That's not applicable to this precise case when @AstroSkipper is going to download that WHQL driver directly from Microsoft website to check if it helps with the browser, and it had been written and explained in the previous replies. Are you trying to imply it can be tampered on by the evil hackers on-the-fly, during the download?

Watching India – it's more than just observing a cricket match or viewing a Bollywood movie; it's a cultural immersion, a rollercoaster of emotions, and a captivating journey through a country that pulsates with life and diversity. From the frenzied stadiums during a cricket match to the serene landscapes of its rural villages, watching India is an experience that leaves an indelible mark on the soul. In this article, we embark on a 1500-word exploration of what it truly means to watch India – its cricketing fervor, its rich tapestry of cultures, and the vibrant chaos that defines its essence. Cricket: The Heartbeat of a Nation: To understand the essence of watching India, one must first delve into the heart of the nation's obsession – cricket. Cricket in India is not just a sport; it's a religion, a unifying force that transcends boundaries of language, religion, and social status. From the dusty streets of Mumbai to the lush fields of Kolkata, cricket is played and revered with an unmatched passion. The experience of watching India play cricket is unparalleled. The roar of the crowd, the rhythmic claps, and the sea of blue jerseys create an electric atmosphere that reverberates through the stadium. Whether it's the iconic Eden Gardens or the modern marvel of the Wankhede Stadium, each venue becomes a cauldron of emotions as fans rally behind their team with unwavering support. But it's not just the matches themselves that make watching India cricket special; it's the stories behind the players, the legends they idolize, and the dreams they inspire. From the masterful strokes of Sachin Tendulkar to the fiery pace of Kapil Dev, Indian cricket is woven with tales of triumph, resilience, and sheer determination. Culture: A Tapestry of Diversity: Beyond the cricket field, watching India unfolds as a journey through a kaleidoscope of cultures, traditions, and heritage. India's cultural landscape is as diverse as it is captivating, with each region offering its own unique flavor and identity. From the vibrant festivals of Holi and Diwali to the serene rituals along the banks of the Ganges, India's cultural tapestry is a testament to its rich history and heritage. Watching India means immersing oneself in the sights, sounds, and flavors of a country that celebrates life with unmatched fervor. In the bustling streets of Delhi, the aroma of spices fills the air as street vendors hawk their wares, while in the tranquil backwaters of Kerala, time seems to stand still amidst the swaying palms and gentle lapping of the waves. Every corner of India tells a story, weaving together threads of tradition, modernity, and timeless beauty. Chaos: Embracing the Unexpected: Watching India is not for the faint of heart; it's a wild, chaotic, and utterly exhilarating ride. From navigating the bustling streets of Mumbai to bargaining in the crowded markets of Jaipur, chaos is an integral part of the Indian experience. Yet, amidst the chaos, there is a beauty that is uniquely Indian – a resilience, an adaptability, and an unwavering sense of optimism. Watching India means embracing the unexpected, surrendering to the flow of life, and finding joy in the midst of chaos. Conclusion: In the end, watching India is more than just observing; it's about immersing oneself in the vibrant tapestry of life, culture, and diversity that defines this remarkable country. Whether it's the electrifying atmosphere of a cricket match, the rich tapestry of India's cultural heritage, or the chaotic yet captivating rhythm of everyday life, watching India is an experience that leaves an indelible mark on the soul. So, come, join the journey, and discover the magic of watching India for yourself.

I wouldn't go that far. I have seen drivers "patched" and still retain their "whql" stamp-of-approval. You can run across them quite frequently on "overclocking" forums. They are used for "slipstreaming" the driver onto your installation media that would not otherwise install because the driver installs at a very very very early stage of installation. Primarily to add support for motherboards that were not originally supported.

I don't know, either. Trial and error is the only method to gain clarity. But I assume it won't do anything in terms of hardware acceleration in Thorium when it comes to my acient NVIDIA Geforce 6200.

@xiaoyue it does work as expected, ignored by older Windows versions, and converted to registry by newer ones.

And what I meant is, if a driver is WHQL, it can't be unofficial, esp. since Microsoft gives that stamp. With WHQL you can be sure it wasn't tampered. I don't know how much it will help with browser acceleration on that old card though.

trice

Thanks again for your assessment! What I actually meant was the fact that NVIDIA does not offer the driver version 307.90 but 307.83 as the latest version for the Geforce series 6. Generally, I am very careful when it comes to updating graphics card drivers in my very old system, as I have had some very unpleasant experiences in the past. But I will create a current image of my system and then test the version 307.90 offered by Microsoft.

Just a small note. Due to the circumstance that the hardware acceleration does not work properly on my old machine, I have reverted my Chrome XP API Adapter from version 1.2.0.5058 to version 1.2.0.5057 which now runs smoothly again on my machine.

You're welcome! Glad it finally works for you. TBH, your hardware is much more recent and powerful than mine. Therefore, I couldn't imagine that Thorium does not run on your system at all, but does on my ancient box from 2000. The manual execution of the command I posted for you is actually just a test whether the Thorium browser can be started in your system at all or not. I observed in my installation that from time to time the execution of the batch file didn't do anything for whatever reason. Thus, I modified the code of this batch starter file and compiled it to an EXE file which now runs reliably without any problems. BTW, I brought your comment here as a deeper discussion would have been off-topic in @roytam1's browser thread. This thread here is a better place to get help in terms of Thorium related stuff and discuss its issues.

it could be some kind of rules about post filtering here. I do hit this these days when posting changelogs.

A bit "laxed" requirements for mobile users. "For older Chrome or on Mobile, you need to toggle TLS 1.3 hybridized Kyber support (enable-tls13-kyber) in chrome://flags." I don't see such flag in "older" Chrome 113.

They bumped up to the minimum demand to Chrome/Edge/Firefox 124, lol. Basically, update your browser every two weeks now. Supermium and Thorium are obsolete. https://pq.cloudflareresearch.com/

My brightness is at 20%. (Screencap RGB value is value of pixel, I can set brightness at 2% and everything be three different shades of black, the pixel RGB value is still 255,255,255.) I have compared black levels. I've done everything I can here. This "issue" is not an issue to me. Supermium / Thorium / Catsxp / Brave / "real" Chrome/Chromium all display the same EXACT colors on my system! Fonts, active tabs, inactive tabs. ALL THE SAME EXACT COLORS!

They don't like your IP.

Updated MX vs ATV Legends v3.04 (Season 3 Update) now requires Windows 10 But they say there's still a Windows 7 Fix available, not sure how good.

Kingdom of Fallen: The Last Stand MINIMUM: Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system OS: Windows 10 Processor: INTEL CORE I5-8400 | AMD RYZEN 3 3300X Memory: 12 GB RAM Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080, 8GB | Radeon RX 5700 XT DirectX: Version 12 https://store.steampowered.com/app/2618360/Kingdom_of_Fallen_The_Last_Stand/

Seeing pure white 255 means your brightness is at max. You need to look at other colours, like you successfully did with grey. Compare black levels.

Thanks for that. I don't have uBlock Origin and I couldn't find the userscript, but I managed to fix it using the Modify HTTP Response add-on. I had to add the Win-Raid forum's hostname to the filter to make it work. Edit: I tried to add the updated filter as code to this post, but the forum won't let me. It spits out a "Forbidden - You don't have permission to access this resource" error message.

I should add, that you should not expect from this "D3D9 HW Rendering Acceleartion" feature, enabled for XP, -- of some impossible in current state of other browser code. It will do some speedup on intermediate level computers. Especially while Youtube videos watching. Not intended for WebGL tests. may be _anything_ with it. Its just restored possibility to do that acceleration in some cases on XP. When Chromuim removed it in the past. On power computers, its may be no differences in rendering/speed. And I'm personally not use it on power computer, because of some disadvantages of that mode.

And you're *not* getting a PURE WHITE active tab ??? Because *ALL* of these browsers give me a PURE WHITE active tab !!!
