Yes this did not work too, but fixed when updated ublock to the latest 65 version. So it is a bug with ublock 64.

It's definitely not a Win11 thing, can u record a screen while this happens?

@Tihiy is there a way I can modify default msstyles used with SAB? I don't see it in SAB folder at all, and I want to modify running indicators.

I have a strange question. When I scroll to the top or bottom in Explorer the whole windows moves up/down. Never seen this before. Is this a Windows 11 thing or what causes it, and how to disable it :-)

Ok, i used it without PAE back in the day, for sure.. But there is not just 1 PAE patch, but multiple flavours of it.. some may work with PAE and GPT loader fine. Also i wrote with Win2000, i got crash after GPT loader - not 8.x.x install, even without GPT disk connected. Im not aware of PAE patch for Windows 2000, it would be handy, i case of Win2000 im using only /PAE boot.ini switch for Advanced server version because DataCenter is problematic and advnaced server license is limited to 8 GB, datacenter is 32 GB.. PAE patches for WinXP+ are 64 GB or 128 GB. Thanks for testing, its allway good to know and test, dead ends too. Ok there seems to be and the way after all.. There is more than 1 variable.. Used PAE patch there is multiple flavours of it. Chipset / Sata controller drivers, could matter were already know that Intel AHCI is not go.. Its make boot bluescreen on WIndows 2000 even with extended kernel and without PAE and GPT loader 10 - not 2015, even with not GPT disk connected. There could be also disk cluster size dependency.. if there is hardcoded limti for 2TB and number of clusters, maybe using bigger cluster size could bypas it, and especially some external 2TB HDD could came with some clever preformating.. Back in the day, i was using Dybay version of PAE patch i my memory serves, or version from Rayer site.. https://web.archive.org/web/20191108052121/https://ryanvm.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=10547

I'm pretty sure that when I did my tests, I went well over 2TB on my 3TB disk, with PAE enabled as it always has been, and there were no issues.

I don't see why it would be, they are different exploits. I'm sure win32ss knows what needs patching and what doesn't.

released: bug fix for win32k.sys/CreateXlateObject
MilkChan replied to Start Me Up's topic in Windows 2000/2003/NT4
Yes, it is an update for Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 (Base form Windows XP). That update uses SSE2 instructions, which may cause problems with CPUs without SSE2. I am checking for another version of Windows XP that does not use SSE2. -

Definitely. ADB can be used to make or restore backups, and has access to some places that normal apps would not, so these backups can be more complete than those made by other methods. It can grant or deny various permissions. It can install or uninstall apps. It can explore directory stuctures, copy, move, rename or delete files within device storage or to/from your windows computer, change file permissions or ownership, or generally do most shell commands. It can remount read-only partitions as read/write (though you still need to consider how to deal with dm-verity on some of them like /system). It can reboot the phone into recovery mode or bootloader mode, useful if you want to change ROMs. It may be able to change itself to root mode, depending if Xiaomi left some config settings on that would allow this. It also has a "sync" function in addition to the backup/restore functions. I find myself using ADB at least once a month or so, mostly because that crippleware MTP mode does not always preserve file timestamps correctly, where using ADB does. I have not looked into Xiaomi in particular, but that arrangement sounds typical for getting a bootloader unlocked. While it is not directly rooting, it is typically the first step in either rooting or in installing a custom ROM. One thing to get clear about before you do that, is for some vendors, requesting that unlock will void whatever manufacturer warranty the phone had, so best to check the rules before asking. My guess here would be that their web site is coded to want Chrome, and the needed functions are missing in whatever older browser you tried. If you don't like Google Chrome (I sure don't!) there are other chromium based browsers that are more privacy friendly. Brave ver 1.47.186, while not the most current, does run on W7 and is my go-to browser when my preferred SeaMonkey can't cope. Others might include Chromite, Vivaldi, etc; you can probably find a thread elsewhere on these boards about browsers still running in W7 for more ideas. Yeah, that is part of what I meant about the hassle factor. The card itself is usually pretty sturdy and not likely to break. But if your phone has one of those little pop-out trays that hold both cards, that thing is a lot more delicate and definitely prone to breakage, assuming it doesn't just get lost. I usually just install the card once and leave it in permanently, since ADB is simple enough for me to copy stuff out with. Yep. Even worse, for my FroYo device, doing this has about 50% odds of causing the phone to reboot, so I have to unplug everything, wait for it to finish, and start over. There's no real reason why the procedure to unmount and remount a partition should fail so often for androids when it is very reliable on Linux desktops, but apparently Google preferred to do away with it entirely rather than debug the actual problem here. Somehow desktop Linux systems solved this problem a long time ago and routinely stop trying to access a partition that is unmounted. I don't know why the same solution never made it into the android kernels. Oh, I just thought of another... if you have a USB-OTG adapter that fits your phone's USB port, you can plug in a standard USB thumb drive and use something like Ghost Commander to copy files in and out.

Hi, we've been working on these experiments for a while now. The +3TB solution from Gigabyte, Seagate, and others involves creating an additional virtual drive for capacities above 2 TiB. I don't recommend following the final link you posted to the Chinese solutions from 2011. That link recommends following all the incorrect steps we've already ruled out, which limit GPT to 2 TiB. Following those steps leads to data corruption starting at 2 TiB.

@Andalu I've found the reason why my partitions disappear when I start Disk Management in Windows XP. I initialize the hard disk as GPT, and the system automatically creates a partition called MSR. Since I don't want the characteristics of that partition, just like Bitlocker, I deleted it before creating new GPT partitions. Deleting the MSR partition isn't a problem in NT6-10, but in XP, if it's deleted, all GPT partitions disappear when I start Disk Management.

Not enough expansion slots for separate network/sound/videoadapter, considering that a video card usually covers 2 slots if it is any good.

You must follow the exact instructions I provided in the links in the first post. https://msfn.org/board/topic/181911-read-gpt-hard-disk-on-windows-xp-solved/ The version of Paragon GPT you need is 8.0.1.0, which is included in Paragon Partition Manager 15 Professional. It won't work properly if you're using an older version, and you won't be able to exceed 2 TiB if you're using a version higher than 8.0.1.0. Although solutions have also been discussed for this, the easiest way is to use the version I mentioned. It has also been mentioned that the system doesn't work with PAE enabled!!! There is currently no solution for this. With PAE, the limit without data corruption is 2 TiB. Without PAE, the theoretical limit is 256 TiB for SATA. Working with data disks initialized as GPT is solved. I have no experience with GPT boot disks in Windows XP. But @reboot12 recently claims to have succeeded. https://msfn.org/board/topic/181911-read-gpt-hard-disk-on-windows-xp-solved/page/31/#findComment-1279892

Could this be sufficient proof that the previous patch for 138+ was also not applicable to M132?

Out of these choices I picked an FTP Server. I couldn't find the FTP Server Ultimate. But I got an WiFi FTP Server. It works without installing anything new to my computer. A bit slow for modern times ramping up to about 5 MB/s, but no setup time. My phone is not rooted. Can I do something else useful with "ADB" to make it worthwhile having like hack the phone or disable things? I am not sure if what is called a Xiaomi Unlock means the same as rooting. I need an account with them and log in and ask them for unlock. The unlock tool wouldn't work with the old version the Windows web browser on Server 2008 R2. An SD card is really really tiny and is extracted together with the SIM chip. It would probably get broken soon. I think the disk had to be suspended when enabling mass storage device mode. And the modern phone always wants to access the disk.

With each new version of Android it seems Google takes away previously useful features and makes others harder to use. USB Mass Storage is one that went away a long time ago. Sadly there is no way to bring it back. Some more detail is at https://www.howtogeek.com/192732/android-usb-connections-explained-mtp-ptp-and-usb-mass-storage/ Some ideas are mentioned at https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/91900/is-there-a-viable-alternative-to-mtp-for-file-transfer but I'm not convinced they are any easier than just using ADB, especially since you still need the same USB drivers to do some of those ways too. If you add an SD card, it can be inserted/removed and connected to a laptop or desktop that has a suitable adapter to read it. Just make sure it is not set up as "adopted storage" or it will be encrytped so Windows would not be able to read it. (Modern Linuxes can work with this once you extract the encryption key from your phone but it is something of a hassle to do.) But moving the SD card around all the time is something of a hassle, and you probably want to use MTP and/or ADB depending on the content to be moved. In particular, the MTP protocol can only handle media. Meaning pictures, videos, soundclips, songs, etc. It will NOT want to let you move other content like PDFs, APKs, browser bookmarks, encryption keys, etc. It may sometimes be possible to rename something to be one of the allowed file types, transfer it with MTP, then use a file manager on your phone to rename it back, but that gets cumbersome after a while and in some locations may not even be allowed. So these other types of content are best handled with ADB. Depends on your definition of "bloated", and of course assuming you are moving only suitable file types. You will need to install some device drivers (typically under 25MB). Probably best to get these from Xiaomi if possible, or there are some generics that can be used even with Windows XP. Oh, and you might need the Kernel-Mode Driver Framework (KB2685811 ?) if you don't already have it. If you want to use ADB you will need to add the platform tools package (the latest version 34.0.5 still runs on W7, possibly even Vista, and is 12.2MB unpacked). Just unzip it somewhere, open a CMD window, make sure the unzipped folder is in that window's PATH variable, and you should be good to go. In case you have not used this before, there is a bit of explanation at https://developer.android.com/tools/adb and a command reference at https://adbshell.com/

I use SAB on all of my PCs, but I'm having an issue with one of them. I have my Surface Pro 7 hooked up to a dock with a second monitor. The start menu has recently started opening up only on the Surface, and no longer on the second monitor. I can click the start button on the taskbar on the second monitor and open it that way just fine. I do have the second monitor set as my main. This happens whether or not enhanced classic start menu is turned on or off. When I turn SAB off for the current user and log off/log back in, the start menu functions normally. I was using 3.9.1.2 before downgrading to 3.9.1.1, but the issue remained. Win 11 / 24H2 Anyone run into this before? (man, I haven't posted here since 2006!)
