  2. What is organize menu ?
  3. Menu bar is not reimplemented and is going away forever in future 25H2 build, sorry. Use organize menu.
  4. lol, good catch... not the first time I've done that typo... a flaw with my keyboard, I'm guessing...
  5. ... Surely a typo, but you actually mean MB there, don't you ...
  6. 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.
  7. internet archive to the rescue!
  8. Both, very old (end of 2017), links to WindowsXP-KB936235-v2 (EN) and/or WindowsXP-KB944340 (EN) return 404 currently ...
  9. 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
  10. 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.
  11. 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
  12. 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.
  13. 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!
  14. 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".
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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:
  20. Speaking about forks,Yansu has been made,and it's a fork of the last version for non-SSE2 PCs,Firefox 48. This might be irrelevant due to 45esr getting forked and Serpent IA32 exists but 48.0 seems forgotten by developers...even those who forks... Maybe @roytam1 can fork it and add his own changes to it.
  21. I'm using SP2... maybe that's the issue?
  22. Normally Readyboot should help with slightly faster boot times and faster recovery from hibernation by pre-fetching files. But ironically it can cause the exact opposite if too much logging is happening, so in your case you are not losing anything. This feature might have been useful to some extent when HDDs where the norm, but with SSDs or even NVMe it shouldn't make much of a difference.
  23. Thanks for the hint! But I don't think the issue has already been fixed. However, one should definitely take a close look at the new "Legacy Installer", if available. Ok. I checked the "Legacy Installer" FREEAV_LGC.exe but it wasn't updated. Only the FREEAV.exe installer.
  24. I occasionally run XP x64 as a dual-boot on my 13yr old i7-4770 machine. It used to run XP x64 exclusively but has since been upgraded to an OLDER version of Win10. But the "problem" I ran into (here at MSFN) during those exclusive-use XP days on that i7-4770 "era-correct" computer (XP went EOL *after* my computer manufactured date) was that I somehow didn't "qualify" to be running XP in the first place. Or that VM's somehow also don't "qualify" (regardless of host being XP or not).
  25. I would also be interested in reports from people who use Windows XP on more powerful computers. As always, my results come from my old, underpowered Windows XP computer, which simply refuses to leave me. But this computer is perfect for diagnosing such errors that you might not notice on more powerful computers. The offline installer can't be found on Panda's homepage. Here is a website where you can get the old offline installer of version 21.01.00: https://panda-free-antivirus.sooftware.com/windows/download/338378 You have to enable the checkbox "Offline installation" during installation. After finishing installation, the programme won't update to a more recent version, even when the automatic update function of the programme under settings is in use. Thanks for the hint! But I don't think the issue has already been fixed. However, one should definitely take a close look at the new "Legacy Installer", if available.
  26. Yesterday
  27. I suppose your investigation results are quite valuable to XP SP3 users on old and under-resourced H/W; so, thanks for your time spent ; however, unless one had downloaded to disk v21.01.00 when it was still current, it's now a real task to find working/valid links to actual (off-line) installers to it ; I did a simple G-search for it and ALL results on pages 1-3 point to (mostly) stub or off-line installer-links hosted on the vendor's (PANDA) servers; but these tend to download the latest version of the software, not the older one we're after ; I did succeed in the end in finding links to offline installers for v21.01.00, but these were self-hosted on Iranian and/or Russian sites, so, as you can understand, I won't share them publicly here ; other than that, is there a special setting one should configure in v21.01.00 so that it doesn't auto-update to a more recent version? FWIW, v23.00.00 has now become the latest (digitally signed 22/12/2025) ... Kindest greetings.
