Thanks, very interesting. My authorization.xml file has an expiry date in it of 2014-11-17, so it appears to have expired over ten years ago! The article does say that the expiry of that file is not relevant on the XP version of Microsoft Update when using Legacy Update. "Legacy Update hosts a proxy service to connect to this server, which we use on Windows 2000, XP, and Vista. Due to the way Microsoft Update is designed, configuring a custom server in the registry also inherently allows it to receive Microsoft Update updates. It also means the expiry doesn’t apply, because the authorization file is no longer relevant. This is the workaround we most likely would have used." I don't know if that also applies with the workarounds I and others here are using, but the fact that the file actually expired many years ago would seem to indicate that. So, why isn't it working any more?

So has Win32ss engineered the patch for Supermium, even though it's only at Chromium 132? It is based on the ESR version, which should surely be able to have the patch applied?

@Dietmar Yeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaa - it works After disabling and enabling Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for High Definition Audio, WinXP finds 2 new sound devices - Realtek and Intel. I have drivers for Realtek so I can install them now and the sound works Thanks a lot Dietmar, I would never think of disabling then enabling UAA can help detect audio devices I need to add a script to the autostart which restarts the MS UAA driver and should be ok.

It does. Sorry. Typo. It is burNmem. https://github.com/Baron-von-Riedesel/XMSTools There are different internal results for Windows Memory Manager. And using DOS tools has much more strict effect in memory limiting.

@reboot12 Make some tests with disable and enable the Microsoft UAA drivers in System Devices. I remember, that I had the same problem and the admin @Dave-H here also with Baytrail Flex 10 and XP and sound Dietmar

I would a piece of to put into my autunattend.xml and unattend.xml to search through all drives except a,b and c. This code will set a variable to %Drive and then run a batch file called apps,utils and batches then run z.cmd inside a folder on app,utils and batches. how is done? Show in code!

Can you read with understanding? I do not have a dedicated card, both are integrated - one of the Realtek motherboard and the other with the Intel processor and both work OK in Win7, Win10. The point is that in WinXP they are not visible in the device manager so I can't install the drivers. And no, in the bios it is impossible to disable the Intel card integrated with the processor, you can only disable the Realtek card integrated with the motherboard but I do not want to disable because I have drivers to it and I would like to use it in WinXP:

You are right. You need version 138 or above to get the patch. If folks don't want to update, the patch is unavailable to them. For those folks, the only safe option is to turn off the V8 optimizer as described previously. I suppose, in theory, someone skilled in building Chromium could apply the patch to earlier versions, but I can't imagine anyone would do so, unless there were a very popular old version that many folks were reluctant to update from.

this should be reported to upstream. maybe related but the patch there doesn't help: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1296410

When one has a dedicated card, the onboard needs to be disabled in BIOS.

That was clear, but from what they tell, looks like the patch is intended to be applied only to 138+. Who would write a patch for the old 132, while we are at 140+ already?

i was referring to group of people they selected even more ironic they taped it and showed to public you can still find it, bunch of brainless people who never used pc...

Hello again roytam1, is there any possible chance getting this website below, to work ? i need to access it, but It always crashes when i try to load it, the page doesnt even show up or load at all...just instantly crashes when i try to visit it. https://spectrumsurveys.com I dont know exactly how long it's been happening before but the last version i had of Basilik was from April 2025 and it crashed then... and still does on your latest July 4th build.

Microsoft Update seems to be no longer working for me. It had been fine, although I hadn't tried it for a long time. Now getting error 0x80248015 as soon as the scan starts.

Version 138 is required for the fix; the bug goes back earlier though: Good catch. Google is being tight-lipped on exactly when this vulnerability crept in. I doubt it goes all the way back to 2008, though. Today's V8 looks nothing like the original. I believe (and should have said) versions prior to the V8 optimizer are not vulnerable. I suspect 360EE (and Kafan MiniBrowser) aren't vulnerable because the option to turn off the optimizer isn't there (presumably because there's nothing to turn off), but I can't be sure with the limited info we have.

@Dietmar What double ??? I don't use CSMWrap because the motherboard has native CSM These are two completely different sound cards - one is a Realtek 10EC 0887 integrated with the motherboard and the other Intel integrated with the CPU 8086 2882

I do hope that remark was a generalisation referring to the software, and not aimed at anyone on this forum personally.

@reboot12 This can be a problem with a driver, that appears double. Make a try to disable really all. And then install your wished sound card and look what happens. With csmwrap I had the problem, that some parts of memory are occupied twice Dietmar

BIOS UEFI 64-bit but CSM available. Hi. I installed WinXP (Legacy) but in the Device Manager I can't see any (?) Unknown device or (?) Multimedia device for sound card (Realtek or Intel). On Win7 and Win10 there is no problem with that and both sound cards available:

Well, more than at an OS level, I was thinking more about this being implemented at the router level. Currently there's NAT64 / DNS64 implemented in routers that is generally used to perform the opposite of what you wanna do (i.e allowing IPV6 clients to access public IPV4 only resources), however I wonder if it could technically be used to map public IPV6 addresses to internal private IPV4 addresses for older clients... I'm not a networking expert and even though I have an OpenWRT router, I don't really have a public IPV6 address from my ISP, so I can't really test / experiment with it as I'm behind CGNAT (IPV4), but if someone is more experienced and/or wants to test, please shout. This is definitely an interesting topic.

Isn't the minimum requirement chromium 138? https://www.securityweek.com/chrome-138-update-patches-zero-day-vulnerability/

brought back manifest v2 extension support. Cool! https://github.com/e3kskoy7wqk/Chromium-for-windows-7/releases/tag/140.0.7275.1

im not certain, it would requie to read out all the stuff that has been done related to this patches the /3GB is known to have some problems too, i dont know the problems with it j7n maybe has some knowledge here ? if its a problem with the /3GB switch there would be also the /USERVA switch to set a different value (between 2048 and 3072 (3 gb)) https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/memory/4-gigabyte-tuning the one from dibya only use a small patch - maybe that would be worth a shot daniel k.´s patch use more of changes, maybe static offsets - that would be a reason why they dont work together also the method daniel k. described could trigger a crash not certain what "the russian patch" do to solve this problem is at the moment to much things around, i might can tell the norm´s, talks, idea´s a debug analize for example would take some time but if it comes to new work im busy at the moment sorry i also dont have the function test for dibya´s patch (aka if it passes the 4 gb limit) there should be someone to try these patches with the method j7n did to do so is simple just disabling the pagefile, then starting up app´s/executables that eat up more then 4 GB of ram if that is possible that patch is likely to work

Thank you so much, but I'm afraid that is pretty much all completely over my head! Do you know why the /3GB switch cannot be used with the RAM patch applied?
