New build of post-deprecated Serpent/moebius for XP! * Notice: This repo will not be built on regular schedule, and changes are experimental as usual. ** Current moebius patch level should be on par with 52.9, but some security patches can not be applied/ported due to source milestone differences between versions.

Internet Explorer 4.01 Service Pack 2 should contain W95Y2K.EXE. It installs an updated Shell32.dll that corrects date format issues in the "Find Files or Folders" dialog. To avoid other system issues, you should have OSR2 or 2.5 installed as well as IE4.01-SP2 full install and W95y2k. IE5.5sp2 is the last IE for Win95. I'd try IE5.01(sp4) first. Both should contain the last compatible 4.72 version of Shell32.dll.

i would suspect that paragon driver is a filter driver filter drivers are something between the OS and the HARDWARE it can perform the same actions as the OS can do with the hardware there are those IRP requests where filter drivers often would be if the controlment is taken from that spot the paragon driver has the control so putting things right, the paragon driver actually could handle the harddrive instead of the OS (in this case xp) then interact with the OS and show it as if the harddrive can control more then 2 TB of discspace this might have a problem but, it needs that paragon driver in that case to figure out what the inner XP code is doing is more of work, that require a lot of debugging - i think we might have candidates to do that

can't tell for pdf but music and video and pictures, even apk's and zips; i can, i have ADB installed on PC (tho my phone is rooted)

We may be talking about different things here regarding PAE. Standard PAE is enabled on my machine, and always has been. Until recently though, I had not experimented with 'PAE patches' to extend the amount of RAM available on my 32-bit system. I do now have one of those available as an option on boot, and it is possible that my access to the 3TB disk will fail if I use that, if I go over 2TB on the disk. I haven't actually tried that, but certainly with the standard PAE configuration, I went over 2TB on my tests without any apparent problems.

Yikes, that’s rough. I had something similar after upgrading—turned out to be an outdated shell extension causing StartIsBack to flip out when right-clicking.

Great news - I received the notice on GitHub. No rush. I just wondered if it was going to be a thing. Thanks K4Sum1

r3dfox 140 will come soon

It seems to differ from Android version to version. I remember having a previous phone that I could set custom sound alerts for SMS for specific contacts, but then a later phone didn't have this option. There are apps that can do it but trying to find a simple clean app (especially these days) can be a real task. I had used apps to manage this before and they do work but not reliably. For example one phone I used an app for that, it would play the custom sound half the time and others it wouldn't before eventually it just stopped working. My current phone just has a default "Notification Sound" that is system wide, and the app I use for SMS doesn't have an option to use anything other than the system notification sound. I had a previous app that did but I never bothered to change it before it stopped letting me open it.

It's my only controller and i've been setting up games on my vista machine so i looked it up and got a whole load of results for xbox one drivers and how to use them with vista but nothing on series x/s controllers. i cant even find modern drivers for it, only that theyre installed with the xbox apps and all that built in win10/11 stuff. Is there really no way to do it or am i not looking hard enough? (the point of this question is really "should i just get an older controller/controller with older drivers?")

Is it possible to set a sound alert that plays when an SMS arrives like on a conventional phone? I have a Showme Redmi 14C (Android 15). In Settings > Sound & Vibration there is a category called "Other notifications and reminders". SMS apparently fall under this. The problem with this is that there is a lot of notification spam, and they all make the same sound. Software updates, most apps ask you to show notifications, a flashlight app that shows a notification that the flashlight is on. I have turned off some but others still remain. Can I set sound for just SMS? The sound customization is really lacking. There is no "ascending" volume, which make the ring start quieter and rise (in case the phone is in my proximity already). I need to bake this into the MIDI file.

That's the problem... it only works for a very few file types, and those only to/from a very few locations. It does NOT work at all for non-media type files, and that is BY DESIGN. Try to copy a PDF file from your computer to your phone, it WON'T just drag & drop. Same issue with Word docs, emails, map placemarks, or a zillion other file types. As for location... I have some navigation apps that use large data files (some can be >16GB) for their maps. It might have been nice to use my desktop to generate the needed data, then drag&drop them onto my phone into the app's folder. But MTP mode not only won't handle that file type, it also won't let me reach the correct location to drop it into. Even if I use the file renaming trick, the best I could do is to drop it somewhere like Downloads, and then try to use Ghost Commander on the phone to move it where it needs to go. But that doesn't work either since Downloads is in internal storage, and it would be too large for the amount of free space there, so I end up needing ADB to put it on the SD card directly. There's also the issue that j7n hasn't yet found suitable device drivers to make it work.

You won't find it because it's a leaked file. form @abbodi1406

KB4039384 It's in the Windows XP No SSE2 Patch Rollup.zip that I gave you.

Maybe you have a driver for this MTP protocol. I have Server 2008 R2 which doesn't have Microsoft's multimedia stuff, which is all terrible. I don't want to install the Desktop Experience pack. I am new to smartphones. In the past you usually had to install a whole "Nokia suite" to access files on a phone. The FTP server works really well. I use it all the time to send files from one computer to another. All my computers have FileZilla Server installed. Although, it can't see any system directories, which Total Commander for Android can. Wi-Fi is a bit slow, but ok. I also had to go into Settings > Apps > WiFi FTP Server > Battery. And set it to no restrictions to keep the server running while it is minimized.

Just so i'm trying to get the schezo thumbnail ext. 1.03 application to work on my 98SE system, but to also work on all windows 9x versions / 2k. the program apparently is to support thumbnail viewing while also having web view enabled at the same time, at least according to one of the posts below, there's a picture showing it, but it's unclear if it's 98SE, 2K / me, etc. I installed it, and then adding various .spi susie plugins i found that were compiled in either c++ 6.0 or visual studio 2003, i tested 2 different kinds of jpeg versions from these packages and none of them work. Xnview 1.82.4 still shows as the icon. not associating xnview just brings back the microsoft default icon when you have no associated 3rd party program, so it doesn't appear that it's related to xnview conflict per say. There's hardly any information on this program and the susie plugins, how to properly install them, etc. I copy pasted below how i got to this point before doing more experimenting: find thumbnail shell extension for windows 9x and even 2k ( Thumbnail Extensions 1.03 By Schezo ): initial searching - other post ( dont download the later link in this thread, it contains malware ! ) - we must install plug ins though for any non text file thumbnail previews to be shown: https://www.digitalpad.co.jp/~takechin/download.html#ifjpeg some newer ones from here... - https://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~DS8H-WTNB/software/index.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com note - iftwic.spi is needed for reading .ani files, and may relate to gdi+, which could possibly work on windows 95, provided you download an old enough version of both? lzr.spi - gif related plug in, may or may not be needed on windows 95 or later, since we have the newer ones that supposedly replace the older one?

Yeah sector is right name for it not cluster, these terms where allways a bit fuzzy for me.. i allways after some time forget where is difference. So this is another dead end. How these 2 TB+ unlockers from Gigabyte and other did the trick, its not definitelly through changing firmware and was for MBR disks. I have found something else if are in the mood to continue research: https://archive.org/details/paragon-gpt-loader-10.0.16.12944-8.0.1.2-driver-update There are 2 interesting things, 1) Reg file fix for xp with some magic values, without any description. 2) GPT loader v8.x - but its described as unofficial, maybe someone somewhere did some fixing.. PAE is not mentioned.

someone should correct me if im wrong but PAE is something for memory managment, is actually involved ? for a disc it dont have a 32 bit offset so directly, rather it makes use of 3 register of 16 bit size LBAlo - 16-bit LBAmid - 16-bit LBAhi - 16-bit = LBA48 https://wiki.osdev.org/ATA_PIO_Mode#Registers (the 8 bit are longly outdated - they are now always 16 bit) after these are set (LBAlo,LBAmid,LBAhi) it just use a I/O code - it dont use a 32 bit offset - it rather tells the disc where to write its data over these 3 filled registers its a bit like with memory paging, the old norm where 4k pages what are normed with a 32 bit PTE entry (and maybe a PDE) -> then PSE (page size extension (similiar to PAE)) apeared and made these 4 k pages to 4 MB pages thus for 4k you need less bits in 32 bit norm (20 bits to represent the highest 4 GB page) (4 k * 20 bit = 4 GB) for a 4 MB page it would be only 10 bit´s (4 mb * 1024 = 4 GB) to represent the highest 4 GB page, the rest of 4 MB pages would point to the upper pages above 4 GB i heared for PAE its only the half, they said its because PAE has the NX bit that means -1 bit = 2 MB pages, this is the result they often describe (also they say the 4k pages are ignored, aka PSE is always on) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension#/media/File:X86_Paging_PAE_2M.svg i do not know it exactly for that PAE mode, but even if it would be like that i could programm it like that the thing with the sector-size for a HDD/SSD/drive is very similiar if you have a 4 k sector instead of a 512 sector you have 8 times as much data it might not be the PAE extension itself, it might be the licence check like starter, home, pro - but that is only a guess just trying to make things better, if someone have knowledge let me know i also can improve myself

Increasing the cluster size does not allow you to exceed the 2 TiB limit in either GPT or MBR. In MBR, to exceed this limit up to 16 TiB, you must increase the logical sector size from 512 bytes to 4096 bytes. This requires hardware that performs the conversion in its firmware, which is not currently possible with IDE mode, much less with the Paragon GPT Loader. Here is a list of devices that support this with MBR. https://msfn.org/board/topic/186645-devices-list-compatibles-mbr-hard-disk-2tb

The PAE limit was commented by @Andalu on January 18, 2025 https://msfn.org/board/topic/181911-read-gpt-hard-disk-on-windows-xp-solved/page/27/#findComment-1276911 I ran the tests with @Dibya Path PAE and confirmed the results in the following posts. If you know of a PAE patch that works with GPT, please comment.

Oh, I see. That is a problem. So "Windows XP/KB4493927" not an Windows XP update and I can't just advise all Windows XP users to add the value to their registry and install the update or some will end up with a machine that doesn't boot anymore. I will call the update "Windows Embedded POSReady 2009/KB4493927" from now on. So basicly, when we talk about Windows XP (32 bits), then we are dealing the 3 different operating systems: Windows XP (32 bits) Windows Embedded for Point of Service (32 bits) Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 (32 bits). It just happens to be the case, that users of Windows XP are able to install updates for Windows Embedded POSReady 2009, if their CPU supports SSE2 and they got the POSReady key in their registry. --- The help file has been corrected accordingly. --- The update "Windows Server 2003/KB4516665" has been added to the help file. However, I was not able to find any security related reports on this update (like MS12-345 or CVE-1234-5678). -- That would be helpful. Thank you. --- Well, I guess I won't be releasing version 4 of OTSKB000001 but rather OTSKB000002, OTSKB000003 and OTSKB000004. So it's one update per operating system and not one update for many operating systems. So OTSKB000001 will still be the Windows 2000 update. OTSKB000002 will be the Windows XP (32 bits) update. OTSKB000003 will be the Windows Server 2003 (32 bits) update. OTSKB000004 will be the Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 (32 bits) update (but it will also work on Windows XP (32 bits) if the user has the value in the registry). --- things to do: add the update "Windows XP/KBxy" to the help file (it's the unknown update that MilkChan will hopefully find) analysis of the updates "Windows XP/KBxy', "Windows Server 2003/KB4516665" and "Windows Embedded POSReady/KB4493927" to check whether there are any changes to the function "CreateXlateObject" and what the offsets are. Then update "code.htm". add the update "Windows XP/OTSKB000002" to the help file write the update "Windows XP/OTSKB000002" add the update "Windows Server 2003/OTSKB000003" to the help file write the update "Windows Server 2003/OTSKB000003" add the update "Windows Embedded POSReady 2009/OTSKB000004" to the help file write the update "Windows Embedded POSReady 2009/OTSKB000004"
