All Activity

Got things working on Intel PCH platforms! The problem wasn't IRQs at all, it was the HD Audio Controller's PCIe transactions no-snoop bit which wasn't getting properly cleared because of a typo in a type-cast (dereferencing it twice ). With no-snoop enabled, what happens is the audio data is written to CPU cache but not flushed out to main memory unless there is some other activity going on to use the cache and invalidate those pages (like Scandisk). I'm not sure if there is a way to explicitly flush the audio buffer to main memory or some flags to AllocateCommonBuffer which I should be passing but aren't Will post a new release soon. I also need to fix the DMA Position buffer

Most sadly, another end is pretty close : https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/15712 Soon-ish, no more youtube downloads without a JS runtime enabled (and without passing logged-in YT cookies, only the WEB-S client (HLS) formats would become available - these do require the JS runtime, though) ...

Does SuperAntispyware detect anything these days ? In the old days I used it to clean up computers. But later it would only detect cookies. It became a cookie muncher hahah

Thank you I'll check it out when I get home. My problem happens with any software that crashes not just Firefox. I just mentioned it as an example.

Do you have these other drivers not in xp2esd 1.6.2 Generic_ACPITime_6.2.9200.16384 Generic_AHCI_1.0.0.585 Generic_AHCI_6.2.7989.0 Generic_HID_6.2.9200.16384 Generic_UASP_1.0.0.51 Generic_USB2_6.1.7601.24138 Generic_USB3_6.1.7800.0 Generic_USBMassStorage_6.2.9200.23486 Generic_USBParent_6.2.9200.22279 Generic_VGA_6.1.7600.16385 IaNVMe_4.4.0.1003

Need to check only the first and hit apply.

Anyone stupid enough to follow the "verification steps" of that fake captcha DESERVES to have his/her hard drive reformatted !!! Certainly NOBODY here at MSFN is that stupid. My parents, on the other hand, they have fallen for fake "download now" buttons on more than one occasion.

Good! Why not?!? Of couse it feels you're still a newbie, but good! Avast Blog: "FakeCaptcha scams—When the "I'm not a robot" button is a trap.." https://blog.avast.com/fakecaptcha-scams How do we know whether Cloudflare is not a scam itself?

I remember, back in 2015, there was a virus that asked to prove whether you're "not" a robot, when someone tried to delete it. The same what Cloudflare does. Conclusion: Cloudflare is a virus. Don't visit. Trying to parrot @D.Draker's conclusions. I know, it's nowhere near the original, but I try.

OpenSSL 3.6.1

@autodidact Thank you for the FFmpeg builds. Now, would you be so kind to update OpenSSL 64-bit dll's to 3.6.1? 🙏 This is an important security update.

upstream #2895 is fixed with a big help from Mr.Q and better javascript random() will be available on both 32 and 64 bit build later.

Thanks for this. I'll give it a try with the emulated Virtualbox TPM 2.0 to see whether it works or not. Out of curiosity, on XP, what would you use a TPM 2.0 module for? I'm not being sarcastic, it's a genuine question, I'm actually curious. Like, I know that on Windows 11 it's used to save passkeys, to store biometric data used for login like Windows Hello via face or via fingerprint, and to perform full disk encryption via BitLocker, but what about XP? Would enabling a TPM 2.0 module to be recognized by the OS make browsers like Supermium store passkeys safely there? I don't know, I'm genuinely curious.

Off-topic post: Last Windows update for Server 2008 "R1" / Vista released on January 13, 2026. Farewell, Windows Vista. You will be missed.

I know this is an old thread, but I think this version is lost. All the links are dead. I've tried many other portable versions, but they don't work, unfortunately. Is it still possible to get Office 2010 working on Windows 2000?

Interesting. So it's not just me... Granted, my Win11 (forced in order to use Intuit TurboTax) is strictly VM. But... And perhaps similar to your Firefox crash, if TurboTax performs an UPDATE, it too does not properly CLOSE and therefore cannot be restarted. In my case, Task Manager actually gets me back but I have to terminate a WINDOWS INSTALLER PROCESS that TurboTax opened and THEN terminate the unresponsive TurboTax. So maybe your Firefox opened SOMETHING ELSE and that has to be terminated before you can terminate Firefox ??? Outside of that possibility, if indeed Task Manager cannot get you there, I use System Informer on my host for this type of situation. I'm using version 3.0.5578 because newer versions do not show my GPU activity properly. I only use the "release-bin" and never the "release-setup", but that choice is yours. The NEWER versions are available from here - https://sourceforge.net/projects/systeminformer/files/ The OLDER versions are available from here - sorry, spent about three minutes trying to find, maybe they don't allow them to be downloaded anymore?

Hello everyone, I'm reaching out to computer veterans here. I own a Windows 11 laptop. There are many reasons to hate Windows 11 but sadly I can't use a lower Windows version on this laptop. There is one thing that really hate about Windows 11 and it's the inability to close non responding applications. For example Firefox crashes sometimes and the task manager isn't able to close any non responsive process like old Windows versions could. You click End Process and it does NOTHING! I have to restart the whole computer just to be able to open Firefox again. This didn't happen in older Windows versions. So is there a third party app that is able to really kill an unresponsive process on Windows 11?

Have not touched it for some time, but started to check drivers collection and extending it to Vista and 7 as they recieved their last update. Will see in few weeks how my plans goes.
