All Activity

Yes, I know how to do it (all 3 methods) but when I point to the programs .exe it doesn't 'stick' in the dialog box. I've done it multiple times, same thing. It's like I never pointed W7's O/S to anything. This just stared a few days ago. No real idea what caused it. Specifically it is .pdf files, but document files were affected also, but for some reason I was able to re-assign that file type. To make matters worse, I even went to the hassle to restore a image of the O/S I made almost 3 months ago and the same same thing!! In fact, it was more than one type of file, but .pdf is the major issue. When I choose the program, the pop-up box with all the other 'assigned' programs shows, but the one I tried to add doesn't get added to the list. It's PDF Exchange (that I have used for years) is the specific program, but again, it's ALWAYS worked with NO issue. This image and what was the former current active version. Again, any way I do this it fails. Then and now. One more detail, I also lost the default programs for .txt (I use Notrebook2) and .odt (Open Office documents & Spreadsheets), but I was able to restore those. All of this happened apparently one time again, in both W7 installations.

Yes, this probably is result of hang on when installation of bad driver was executed. One file from WDM sound system was absent (and did not restore on subsequent driver installations), that gave such undesirable effect. Ok, I tested more. WDM SB emulation is working (Quake1 as test software). DirectX diagnostic tests of (non hardware accelerated) Sound and Midi passed. One small problem exists - there is no Volume Mute enabled control, only Level. Individual components like Wave or Midi have both Level and Mute.

The interface in the taskbar that enables Wi-Fi sound and battery stops working after a while. It works again when I restart Explorer, then it stops responding again. Only these two things are not working. I have Windows 11 26200.7462 and SAB 3.9.20 installed.

Jody, Vista is the same 6.x as Win8, as soon as he retires Vista, Win8 will follow the same road. Win10 is another story though.

Thank you, @MilkChan, but it seems kind of overkill to a noob like me. @jumper patched and made available a single file (for the 32-bit version of MSO 2010), hope he can do this for the 64-bit version too and save the hassle :-)

I am on-topic. The topic name is "Firefox and Chromium running on Windows 7 by e3kskoy7wqk" It references the generic Chromium. Ungoogled is also Chromium, and more to the point, the author e3kskoy7wqk releases it. Let me help you find it. https://github.com/e3kskoy7wqk/Chromium-for-windows-7/releases/tag/ungoogled-chromium_140.0.7339.127 So please stay on-topic.

It seems like abbodi1406 has already done that in # Office 2010 MSI Upsourcer You should try it. Link : https://mega.nz/file/LgZyCZxa#ew7SgnszJXa8lX0miZAIQk6qGQJljiRxSunc-ynaSow

1) downloaded latest version. 2) checked all five jacks on rear side. no sounds... for compare, i try mpxplay for DOS with default jack to play logon.wav — there was loud noises, slightly remember logon.wav... i think it will good option use some registry key for manual iteration of pins and volume control. i also have nvidia videocard with hda, connected to monitor with speakers. so i check playing this way soon...

Nvidia and ULI chipsets would be the highest priority to test as I don't have any of those myself and they need some PCI Configuration Space fixes that I blindly copied from VSBHDA. Tests on as many combinations of controller and codec as possible would be appreciated. I already know there's no sound on on IDT / Sigmatel codecs yet and will continue to debug that. The driver should function without DirectX 8, at least it does in Virtualbox, with maybe the only issue being choppier MIDI playback. I'm ignoring the requested interrupt interval from ks.sys (which is always 10ms) because Virtualbox seems to require a power of 2 audio buffer size not just a multiple of 128 bytes. Haven't tested on 98FE or 95 with the USB support added yet. DirectX 8.1 updates these audio related files: Ks.sys, Stream.sys, mskssrv.sys There's also a Microsoft WDM Audio Update hotfix KB242937 which updates kmixer.sys, portcls.sys, usbaudio.sys, wdmaud.sys I do have a QIYIDA X99 motherboard I can try to test on myself, if I can figure out Omores's trick for running 98 from a USB key in legacy emulation mode.

Ungoogled would be a fork, not a port. Please stay on-topic.

I'll look into it.

No, it didn't. No, it doesn't. No, it doesn't. No, it doesn't. No, it doesn't. No, it doesn't. After this update I stopped checking any further updates of your list. It seems as if Gemini is too buggy to create the list of updates.

Now no hang on. Device is OK in Device Manager. But on the first step device does not work as expected - no sound. It shows in Multimedia but does not allow to select itself as audio output device. Ok, this is very base system installation. So I tried to setup DirectX8.1 and lo and behold - sound arrived. I did not do full tests (l will do lately) but it's working. Drew Hoffman, do you need tests on other systems (on Nvidia HDA controller and on Intel HDA controller, but I don't remember what codecs there are)?

What about ungoogled? I want ungoogled.

Not work, crash and DrWatson: Exactly same error if try open any .swf file from local hard drive. I tried also 9.47: http://www.sdfox7.com/nt40/flash.htm but browser close immediatelly. So, Patched FlashPlayer 9.0.289.0 installs OK but has no practical use :-( Working version is this patched flash_7_youtube_spoof.zip: http://toastytech.com/files/95browsing.html SWF file from local disk: WWW sites:

What I mean is that it can be installed on a much newer than LGA775

Haswell is not LGA775.

Thank you, @jumper, for patching the MS Office 2010 MSO.DLL file (x32-bit version). Can you please do the same for the 64-bit version too? Thanks in advance :-) Greets!

I replied: "Excellent. Do the same for Windows 2000."

More details from Gemini. Note at bottom: "Updates KB3034344, KB3013455, and KB2850851 specifically address critical vulnerabilities in how win32k.sys parses TrueType fonts...."

Third try by asking Google Gemini (Thinking):

Summary of first two trys asking Google Gemini (Fast): For the final updates, this number was in the high 7000s (e.g., 5.1.2600.7512 or higher). KB4500331 (May 2019): BlueKeep Remote Desktop Services vulnerability (CVE-2019-0708). KB4012598 (May 2017): Released to address the WannaCry vulnerability. Mar 2014: MS14-015 KB2939576 Critical EoP vulnerability in Win32k. (One of the final official patches) Dec 2013: MS13-101 KB2880430 Multiple EoP vulnerabilities in Windows Kernel-Mode Drivers (Win32k). Jul 2013: MS13-053 KB2850851 Remote Code Execution/EoP vulnerabilities in Win32k and TrueType Font handling. Jan 2013: MS13-005 KB2769369 EoP vulnerability in the Windows kernel-mode driver (Win32k).

Great thanks.

Dangit. Good catch. I'll rework all of that and get another release up tonight. Edit: Fixed stupid interrupt eating bug and other problems with the Interrupt Service Routine. https://github.com/andrew-hoffman/WDMHDA/releases/tag/Alpha-011

I've tested oldcp.biz,that worked...
