I have tried Radeon 7750, but its the same. I have tried export and import Direct 3D registry keys from WIndows XP, but its not that easy.. Dxdiag: When i try Unigine Heaven DirectX9.. Im getting this message: D3D9APPWindows:: create_context(); required multisample is not supported. Engine::video::restart(); cant set 640x360 windowed mode I really dunno how to debug this, it seems that for some reason driver loading not loading Direct3D at all, or try and fail during driver initialization or registry keys with card features are not properly set in registry.. I never was able to fix this other way than reinstall some "better" driver, but this one is already only 1 unofficial one Inf problems: To not visible devices in the driver list - i suspect this ExcludeFromSelect=* - parameter, for some reason its used,if im not wrong it means that detected devices are actually hidden from the list.. that is strange decision when there is not classic *.exe installer and its installed through *.inf files. Im staring to understand more and more .Inf files structure, but defined the whole Direct 3D environment seems to be too many variable, not enough knowledge problem. I found some 4 years old reddit post, which is claiming that Radeon 7750 is running fine, in his machine but i dunno with which drivers and if Direct3D is really working. This sort of classic ATI problem in reverse, usually Direct3D is fine and OpenGL is broken / messing.. Especially with Windows NT / 2000.. or simply OpenGL implementation is buggy. In Dxdiag its clear that these are wrong: DDI - Device Driver Interface - max directX available is not detected. VDD- Video Device Driver is n/a , there should be probably ati2cqag.dll. Used BlackWingsCat - 12.xx driver inf file, i have tried to compare it with last drivers from ATI, but again there is quite a lot of variables: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/jd727zhvfzvhv1vg6arqc/CX137814.inf?rlkey=rmt7b35yb0i56wt6wngndtwet&dl=1

FYI, it can take like, an hour to check for updates after the two updates and SP2 are installed.

Thank you a bunch for spoiling us ... The new shared build runs OK here (Vista SP2 32-bit) ; compared to the previous Vista+ shared offering (ffmpeg-n8.1-dev-891-git-20251025-gdefd5f3), I see that below libs (rather, buildconfig flags) have been removed: --enable-cuda --enable-cuvid --enable-d3d12va --enable-nvenc --enable-ffnvcodec --enable-nvdec --enable-mediafoundation --enable-libvpx --enable-libaom --enable-librav1e --enable-libkvazaar --enable-libxavs --enable-vulkan --enable-libvvenc --enable-libcelt --enable-opencl This has reduced the size of the extracted archive by ca. 23 MiB (from 127 to just 104); really indebted! Best wishes.

If I had to "guess", it has been this way ever since the day we went offline for "maintenance" all an account of OVER ONE HUNDRED consecutive spam posts for INTUIT TURBOTAX / QUICKBOOKS. We went offline for several hours, perhaps even an entire day.

There have been *at least* three reports of this. People have posted in "old" topics and start off their post with saying they had to reply semi-off-topic because they could not start a new topic. I'm not going to spend the time to hunt them down. At least three in recent weeks. But time alludes me at times, maybe it's been a month, maybe three months, no clue. But others *HAVE CITED* this issue where they could not start a new topic.

You can "create" and start the process of a new topic, but it fails when you hit submit.

I wasn't aware ; if that is the case, shouldn't this forum glitch be posted in https://msfn.org/board/forum/23-site-amp-forum-issues/ ? (Or is one now completely unable to?) Are any of the admins/mods made aware? At what exact stage does the "new topic" fail to be submitted? FWIW, the "Create New Topic" button seems to work OK here, but I haven't proceeded in actually submitting one ... @Dave-H, do you happen to have any insight on this?

Yep, sure enough. My bank now forces Chrome/Chromium v140 as minimum *IF* you want to avoid two-step PITA login (ie, text or email code after username/password). Two-step is a enough of a PITA that I just upgraded everything in the house from Chrome/Chromium v136 to v140. Funny thing is, my bank still works with 360Chrome's v86 if you don't mind the added step of text or email code after the username/password. "Most" of Chrome++ version 1.11.1 seemed to be working fine. But not having it displayed in Help/About made me leary of not upgrading. And I don't think it was applying all of the startup parameters. I didn't keep it long enough to see just what was and was not working. I'm okay with upgrading it to v1.13.3 but I will NOT be using its launch_on_exit feature when ALTERNATIVE APPROACHES do the job BETTER.

... I think you've hit issue #185 , which the Chrome++ author (Bush2021) closed as "wontfix/not planned" ... Yes, I also believe "change/update" isn't always for the best , but what can one do ...

Hi, I just make a nice hack. I get a lot of Arduino nano for 67 Cent from China. They work under Win10 but not under XP SP3, "Unknown USB device". I use the Arduino IDE ver. 1.8.9 portable, means no installation. It has the exotic USB serial VID_0843&PID_5740. So, I take the win7 driver STM32_vcp_driver.zip from STMicroelectronics which has funny VID_0483&PID_5740. There I edit just the stmcdc.inf file only at this part ;------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ; VID/PID Settings ;------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [DeviceList.NT] %DESCRIPTION%=DriverInstall,USB\VID_0843&PID_5740 [DeviceList.NTamd64] %DESCRIPTION%=DriverInstall,USB\VID_0843&PID_5740 Right click on this modded stmcdc.inf "install", and voila, this Arduino nano clone from China works perfect under XP SP3 Dietmar

Thanks, but my goal is to have a browser that doesn't need those dubious, over or almost a decade old "updates". Those threats they addressed in the previous century, are no threats any longer. Will you help me?

Which r3dfoxESR 140? NB, 140.5.0esr has been LibreWolf-ified (read above), while previous ESR, 140.2.0, has NOT... That one, too, is LibreWolf-free ... Hard to tell these days ... Since I always use the "portable" r3dfox variants (the browser profile is created inside a "Profile" dir adjacent to (r3dfox | r3dfox_esr).exe), I couldn't possibly have noticed your findings ; based on your findings, though, this is how I would migrate from r3dfox-139 to r3dfox-140esr: 1. Launch 140esr a first time and let it write/populate its default fresh profile in the "new" location (in "%AppData%\Eclipse Community\R3dfox ESR" ?) ; 2. I suppose you've already done this, but with 140esr open, load "about:support" => Profile folder (where you can see the absolute path to the ESR profile) => Open Folder 3. Exit r3dfox-140esr; then, erase all contents of the fresh ESR profile (already open in an Explorer window in step 2, above) 4. Inside the (now empty) 140esr profile folder, transfer/place all contents of your r3dfox-139 (release) profile (NOT the profile dir itself, just what it contains); 5. Launch 140esr anew; it SHOULD now load what was previously your r3dfox-139 profile... (Disclaimer: I haven't actually performed such a profile migration myself, my "guide" is based on educated guesses )

Thank you!

@UsefulAGKHelper Setup an XP VM and run it from in there, that's how I do it.

Disregard. Reverted to WinPenPack's launcher and using its [RunAfter] section instead of Chrome++'s launch_on_exit= section.

On my latest Windows 11, I can't run build.exe (amd64)... @Dietmar

roytam1 You still haven't answered the question Link

migrating from fx27 to nm28 directly may get you trouble, you may try migrating to nm27 first.

Today, I updated my Chrome++ from version 1.11.1 to the most-recent version 1.13.3 (due to older versions do not properly work with Chrome versions v140 or newer). I use the launch_on_exit= feature of Chrome++. v1.11.1 would run a .bat file on exit WITHOUT popping up a flash of a command window. v1.13.3 flashes up a command window, cycles through the line items of the .bat file, then closes the command window. How do I prevent the FLASH on, closes when completed, command window from FLASHING on, kind of an EYE SORE.

Seems NEW TOPICS are no longer allowed to be posted here at MSFN. I know it's not just me because SEVERAL others have cited this in recent weeks. We have to reply to current topics instead.

Im trying to make some Radeons HD working. I made Radeon 3470 working fine with Black Wing cat 12.xx and last extended kernel , but i have trouble with Radeon 7350, i installed 12.xx drivers again OpenGL - Quake 3 and Unigine Heaven are running, but not DirectDraw Acceleration or Direct 3D, there is no Direct3D device present, same with DxDiag, probably problem with some registry Direct 3D device HAL definition. I have also some problem with Windows 2000 drivers in overall, for some reason when i load some drivers file i see just white area without entries where drivers should be.. and its different error than not compatible drivers where found, in that case i get popup with same error message. It seems that some drivers database or parsing is broken So i cant use Display compatible devices dialog and i can only use Search driver, point to folder and inf and let driver to be autodected, but i can force specific driver. There is also problem with Catalyst Center, old ATI installers have some standalone installer for it, but newer version have it embedded within drivers installer i failed to extract it from it. I also find out that some newer Catalyst center had less options than older version - so far im using Catalyst reporting this version 1.2.2314.20337 -from 2006, i dont remember which version its in ATI numbering.

Thank you so much!

Anyone still experience issue on cloudfare sites, that the verification check runs in cycle? (when recent Mypal runs on XP). Some sites do work even without any prompt for verification check.Even if I try to disable Ghostery, no luck. Example from Thorium the verification does normally work.

The 153 error relates to the referrer header – Google have decided that when embedding a video you can't block it any more. It's worth noting that when these useless error codes appear that you can right-click ... copy debug info ... paste that info somewhere you can read it, and then look towards the bottom for: "debug_error" The 153 error will reveal itself as: "embedder.identity.missing.referrer" which is the clue that it is caused by a missing referrer header.

@UsefulAGKHelper Here I put W2003_tools_update.7z good luck Dietmar https://files.catbox.moe/7wrcnc.7z
