So I admittedly find myself fully rethinking Supermium on MODERN HARDWARE. We tend to think of forks like Supermium existing only for the sake of "keeping XP alive" or for "ancient hardware". I "was" a member of both! We all know the type, frowning upon friends and family using anything but XP and using our ancient hardware as somewhat of a "badge of honor". Again, we all know the type, we kind of saw ourselves as "better than" folks with newer computers and "better than" folks that use Win10 or Win11. I have *zero* regrets in "finally" upgrading to a HEAVILY TWEAKED *ancient* and no-longer-supported version of Win10. So I saw things like Supermium as "not for me" (mainly due to *horrific* experiences with Supermium when I was on *ancient hardware*, so why use it on modern hardware?). That changed yesterday... My bank account "forced me" to upgrade from Official Chrome v136 to Official Chrome v140 back in November. The force was actually several months prior to November. November was just when I finally realized that an "older browser" was the ROOT CAUSE for login "extra steps". As of today, I will be running Supermium as my DEFAULT. At least for the sake of testing must-have web sites (bank account, pay my utility bills, et cetera). I don't know (yet) if v138 will be "new enough" for my bank account login. So why "downgrade" when v140 works for everything I need a web browser for? Well, and unsure why it took so long, but it only hit my v140 *yesterday*. I had a "screen_ai" folder suddenly appear in my browser profile! Some 106MB "extension" that Chrome added "under the radar"! I caught it during download and before "install", but just seeing it sneak in, well, basically p#ss#s me off! Reading into what it "does" is kind of scary. I can see SUPERMIUM (and maybe other forks "targeting" XP / 7) as a route of preventing this "under the radar" AI [BS].

My Windows XP OS Addons and Update Pack (2023)
Zorba the Geek replied to Zorba the Geek's topic in Application Add-Ons
Windows Portable Devices Media Transfer Protocol File: WPDMTP_Addon.7z (Dropbox) File: WPDMTP_Addon.7z (Google Drive) MD5: 597A647D0F05C4705F037D02636F5C25 SHA-1: 36B595D56A50F4895EA2F8D058EB1E8D7E0A746A File Size: 2454 KB Build Date: 03/01/2026 This addon will enable the exposure of a portable device's file system in Explorer and permit the transfer of media files between a PC and a portable device like a camera, smartphone and portable media players. It is installed at the same time as WMP11, so this addon is only required if you have WMP9, have removed WMP with an addon or use Windows 2003. I have not been able to test it because Windows will not recognize my Windows phone, possibly because my PC does not have USB 3.0 ports, so please let me know how you get on with it. The MTP driver should install automatically as soon as the portable device is plugged in, but to ensure that you do not get the Found New Hardware wizard delete wcid.inf if you have used used my XPSP3_QFE_UpdatePack for Windows XP Post-SP3.- 96 replies

Native (WDM) HD Audio driver for Windows 98se/Me
SweetLow replied to Drew Hoffman's topic in Windows 9x/ME
The same is here. And sound is on Line In instead of Line Out. Highly unlikely. As I said my first system with Realtek ALC236 has exactly the same config, but sounds good. -

Sorry, but I could not locate App Readiness service. I'm using Polish language version, so the names of system services are not in English. -

Somewhat similar issue in WinPE with Proper 11 theme. an extra address/nav bar is added to the window with non-functional controls. Win10 ribbon theme works fine. `

You need to escape percent signs in the URL proper. eg. KeePass%202.x/2.60 as KeePass#$p202.x/2.60 otherwise the engine is evaluating your variable %202.x/% (or in the case of the attached WebGet log %202.x/2.60/KeePass-2.60.zip",%)which will be empty and result in an invalid URL. FYI PhoenixPE has a wrapper for Aria (https://github.com/PhoenixPE/PhoenixPE/wiki/WebGetEx)

Hopefully. It looks like a relatively simple issue that's common when PHP is updated. Unfortunately, I've been trying to get in touch with galapo for over a month now (even before the site went down there were warning signs) and haven't had any luck. I'm sure as soon as he gets back from whatever he is doing it will be sorted out.

It was good content. Maybe if you pasted into a .txt editor THEN copy-paste from the .txt editor into MSFN's post-editor-box? ie, if you copied from a web site could be why it pasted the way it did. -
I am sorry, I have no idea how that became a link. I have delete most of it which seems to have gotten rid of that.

Looking for IntelliType Pro 1.2 Standalone Installer for Windows Me
iMic replied to iMic's topic in Windows 9x/ME
So for anyone else that finds this thread, thanks to ABCDEFG finding the Italian version of the installer, and through comparing them side-by-side, I've worked out that the installer contained in the WinMe folder on the IntelliType Pro 1.2 CD on the Internet Archive is the same as the installer that would have been contained in the itp12eng.exe self-extracting archive, albeit with only the ENG folder, and only "0009" in the setupdir folder (only the English language program files and _Setup.dll). All other files appear to be exactly the same. I tested the Italian version of the installer on Windows Me and even the downloadable versions have the Internet Explorer check. If IE 6.0 is installed, setup incorrectly prompts the user to upgrade to Internet Explorer 5. Choosing to install Internet Explorer during setup then displays the same warning about inserting the IntelliType Pro 1.2 CD as the CD-ROM distributed version does. So it appears Microsoft just stripped the CD-ROM version installer down to each individual language, packed it in a self-extracting WinZip executable, and sent it out the door. While it would be good to find itp12eng.exe anyway, just for the sake of completion, at least we know the IntelliType Pro v1.2 software for Windows Millennium Edition isn't lost. -

Seeking information about some lost Windows Millennium updates
iMic replied to iMic's topic in Windows 9x/ME
Just checked, follow with email notification is enabled. Can't seem to find any email notification from July or your most recent reply though, strange because I know I've definitely received mail notifications from here before. That said, given the thread was initially posted almost two years ago, I suppose I figured after the first twelve months had passed that the information was likely lost and it would be unlikely to get any further responses. So colour me surprised - thanks for the information in any case, it's very much appreciated. -
Forget about the Panda support! I reported the issue twice. The second report was quite detailed. No response so far. Not even an acknowledgement of receipt or the opening of a support ticket. Very disappointing! Although Panda Antivirus Free 21.01.00 is running on Windows XP better than the latest version, even this version seems to have problems. And once again, the culprit is the process PSANHost.exe which yesterday suddenly started to crash from time to time for whatever reason. I'm currently trying to determine the reason for these crashes. This PSANHost.exe is slowly getting on my nerves. Either I solve the problem or Panda Antivirus will be completely removed from my system. The Panda support seems to be non-existent.

As part of my work on ytBATCH, I have investigated many ffmpeg releases that are supposed to be compatible with Windows XP. These include, for example, the releases from @Reino, sherpya and @autodidact. The relatively new ones from @Reino and @autodidact work well with YouTube. But when it comes to TV streams, it's a completely different story. Their latest ones in particular have considerable problems with TV stream URLs. On my old Windows XP computer, negative performance changes are immediately apparent. FFmpeg 3.4.1 from 2017 is too old and can no longer access TV stream addresses. The newer releases 7.1 from 2024 and 8.1 from 2025 require much more CPU power than before. They are therefore problematic for older, weak Windows XP computers. That's why I still have been using ffmpeg releases from 2019 for TV stream addresses.

Agreed. "Liked".

No, It's a lot of posts I still didn't "like". But then again, it's so off-topic, but still you're allowed to post off-topic, so why would I not be allowed to do the same? add No off topic from me again because I respect the forum users!
-
I believe in those numbers, as I already stated, I don't trust someone will perform the fake scheme you just described. People have things in life, apart from the forum, you know! Besides, it's easy to check, as I already stated, too! So what? It's my business in what to believe. But at this point, it's too obvious you're very annoyed with someone else's fame. I also think there was a hidden reason to disable topic views. As already stated by @Monroe. Otherwise they would've gotten them back by this time already.

Admins don't care. The numbers are meaningless so there is no need for them to care. That doesn't mean we are not allowed to discuss them. And think about it. We have members that are no longer here FOR A REASON. None of us know that reason. None of us need to know. The problem arises because we have members that "believe" in the numbers, BRAG about them PUBLICLY, and cite them CONSTANTLY as if they "do" mean something, as if they are "real". THAT is the real problem. Bottom line is this, this thread is here to discuss "numbers" being shown on this web site. We have done that. The smart people here can believe what they want. The not-as-smart can believe what they want. To be honest, no skin off my back either way. Reality is this, the *fake* numbers are a result of people with nothing better to do logging in daily, tracking down EVERY post by three different members, and hitting the "like" button. THEY RAN OUT OF POSTS TO CLICK "LIKE". THAT IS WHY D.DRAKER FELL OFF THE LEADERBOARD. Again, believe what you want, be blind to what you want, makes no difference to me. I have stated my case, I have *FACTS* to back it up. Our "numbers" are MEANINGLESS, admins admit that, I have informed as to WHY they are MEANINGLESS and HOW they were MANIPULATED. I cannot be banned for speaking the truth. Report me as a "thorn" all you want. I have made my case and I can 'move on' now. Dot Org. Waka waka waka.

That would be too easy, reminds a second grader school project. And most importantly, why would someone do that for a member who is not here for a year? Probably already forgot and chills somewhere on Bahamas. Last but not least, ask the admins to look at the logs! They will show real IPs.

Native (WDM) HD Audio driver for Windows 98se/Me
Deron416 replied to Drew Hoffman's topic in Windows 9x/ME
With the Alpha-013 version, ALC662 produces sound, but, as in the case of the ALC887 codec, it is garbled. -
I don't have Windows ME on bare metal right now to test this. However, on Windows ME running in Virtual PC, the behavior of "SCANDSKW" is similar, and the effect is quite good: This provides a clear demonstration of the change in write speed during disk surface scanning, where: "1" - when the SCANDSKW window is in the background; "2" - when the SCANDSKW window is active; "3" - when intensive mouse movements occur above the active SCANDSKW window.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX error code 43 on Windows 10 version 1607
halohalo replied to halohalo's topic in Windows 10
I can run Final Fantasy VII Remake, but Final Fantasy VII Rebirth got fatal error and BulkLoad Demo crashed OS because they use DirectStorage. Although DirectStorage 1.1.0 or later fixed compatibility with Windows server 2016, it requires Turing or later NVIDIA GPUs and only Quadro RTX GPUs can work on 1607 without modification. I don't have a Quadro RTX card, so I don't know what will happen if I use Quadro RTX instead of GeForce RTX 4070. Anyway, this is another issue related to SetThreadDescription support on 1607. Besides, r535 only supports shader model up to 6.6 on 1607.
