Fileinfo is a lister plugin for the file manager Total Commander. If interested, you should install version 2.2.3 since the more recent version 2.2.4 doesn't install under Windows XP.

Does anyone know if there's an upgrade version of MCE 2005 out there? I have a version of MCE 2005 that I tried to use to upgrade my XP Pro but it didn't offer the option to upgrade. I was doing this the normal way by putting in the install disk and then rebooting the computer which takes you into the blue screen setup. I also tried it by putting the disk in after I had already booted into XP and then clicking on Setup in the root folder of the MCE 2005 disk and selecting install Windows XP from the Welcome to Setup screen. The first message I got was "The option to upgrade will not be available at this time because Setup was unable to load the file F:\WINNTUPG\NETUPGRD.DLL" (F: is the name of the CD drive the disk was in). I looked at the folders on the disk and yep, there wasn't any folder named \WINNTUPG. When I was doing it the normal way and got to the agree to the EULA screen, I scrolled down to the bottom where I got a valuable piece of information. Don't know if this is the version number of the disk or the EULA but here it is: MCE_05_RTM_OEM_EN. I'm assuming that the "OEM" part means it's the OEM version and I suppose that the upgrade option wasn't offered on that version since the OEM wouldn't be upgrading, they would be doing fresh installs. So is there a retail version available for downloading out there? I want to upgrade my XP Pro SP3 version to MCE without losing any of my apps or their registry entries. And will I need to temporarily remove SP3 in order to upgrade?

The option in settings apparently doesn't work (it still says to check email for instructions but I have already clicked on the link), so please someone manually delete my account. Thank you.

When StartAllBack is active UltraEdit doesn't show up on Taskbar when it's run. One needs to first set focus to some other window, then focusing UE's window makes the icon appear.

What piece of software is that? I know Dependency Walker, but this is not it.

There isn't (I did not save the logs on the screenshot) but it should be same as this one: Mypal_DW.txt And yes I'm using Windows XP Debug mode + RaiseException set to v4.

Just for reading but it sounds good ... After Outcry, Firefox Promises “Kill Switch” That Turns Off All AI Features Victor Tangermann / Dec 27, 2025 https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/outcry-firefox-promises-kill-switch-ai-features The backlash against AI invading almost every aspect of the computing experience is growing by the day. Particularly as an onslaught of lazy AI slop subsuming news feeds, the tech is starting to feel like a massive distraction — and huge parts of the internet are disillusioned or even fuming in anger. For instance, a vast number of Windows users refused to upgrade after Microsoft announced it would turn the operating system into a so-called “agentic OS.” ..... the article came from here, it's fourth down the list at this time. https://citizenfreepress.com/ ...

Tested RaiseException=v4, and 0xFFFFFFEA exception seems to appear again in both XP SP3 and XP SP3 (Debug mode): WATSON07.WLG

Yes: RaiseException(406d1388) again. Use =v4 and hope for additional debugging text from DebugBreak or OutputDebugString in the logs before the code -1 exit.

I have Windows 2000 with extended kernel here in a VM and the latest New Moon works fine. -
Has anyone tested the latest version with Signal?

I tried using debug mode with IsDebuggerPresent enabled, seems like it crashes on NSS3 instead of XUL (probably further than it should be?). Here I provided both DrWatson and ApiLog logs for Mypal68 (updated for WATSON05_NODBG.WLG, XP SP3 mode without debug) : Mypal.zip Dependency Walker (XP debug mode):

Yep! It works. A working login form appears. But a login is only possible for school or business accounts. Private accounts are not supported. I tried to configure my old, private hotmail.com account but a message came up that private accounts were not supported. -

Finally! It was so simple too. Just change the UA and it works! I could've used this years ago! Unfortunately it comes too late for me. My workplace has a new "security" admin who refuses to authorize any app other than M$ Outlook. (Well, he did relent and authorize GMail for phones.) MailNews looks like Mozilla Thunderbird. Thunderbird is perfectly fine from a security standpoint, but he's not going to unblock it because "why do I need to use another email client besides Outlook?" Still, it's nice to know that it's at least possible on XP again. - Yesterday

runtime files are not changed and it works on XP SP2 with hotfix or SP3 using same runtime files, so the problem could be in w2k extended kernel. -
The log looks good until IP suddenly jumps to high system space. A crash dialog stack dump or Dr.Watson stack unwind would be helpful here to see where execution came from. What happened to the RaiseException error? That was the reason for trying in DW and Finesse. They don't all need to be redirected. Avoid API-MS-WIN dlls as much as possible, redirecting them to Kernel32.dll itself or other system dlls. See my API-MS-Win.reg file for details. Try using KernelEx XP-Debug mode for possibly more messages in AppLog. If already doing so, try changing IsDebuggerPresent to Kexbases.0 (0:False, 1:True) in Core.ini to possibly avoid the RaiseException errors when not profiling in DW.

KB2839299_2003 derived fltMgr upgrade that it is not...
Multibooter replied to modnar's topic in Windows XP
Besides speed, system stability could be another criteria for deciding between fltmgr.sys build 5107 and build 6912 under WinXP. eMule could be used for comparing system stability/uptime when running with fltmgr.sys build 2180 [WinXP SP2] vs build 5107 vs build 6912. eMule, installed under WinXP SP2 and running 24/7 on a dedicated old Inspiron laptop (500MHz, SSE-only, 512MB RAM), tends to crash with the original fltmgr.sys build 2180 after downloading for 7-14 days. Build 5107 has been installed to see whether it can increase eMule uptime, i.e. system stability.
