  1. Past hour
  2. MinWin and RAM booting Windows was a - just for fun - project for me. I don't share your passion about it. So if you want to create a database, be the first one adding something to it. For me, I only provide the tool and a basic example.
  3. Today
  4. To sell more DX12 graphic cards? I dunno. What I'm sure of, it doesn't need DX12 with those graphics, agree. DX9, at best.
  5. FYI; From the Pale Moon forum: Planned system requirements changes this year
  6. Yes indeed, it's an update of an old game. And why would it need DX12 with those graphics?
  7. Hi @bluebolt, I couldn't install those versions, but could extract them. The program seems to work, but it complains it is not installed, advising I could make a portable install, probably with the install;er I cannot run I will keep trying. Thanks!
  8. Hi @bluebolt , the installers do not work in my set up. I can extract them, but then it complains it is not installed, and that I could create a portable version, I guess using the installer, which I can't. I will continue to search for a solution, as it is very likely it works in XP, as you reported. Thanks!
  9. Very old disks (500GB and the such) have "usual" 512kb clusters, and the newer ones - "advanced format" with bigger clusters. And by that I mean physical, hardware clusters. EDIT, prolly the board isn't tailored well enough to work with the old ones, but could also be the firmware bug.
  10. Thanks for the feedback guys. So the problem is here. It's weird. I also use the latest version. Tried disabling all extensions and still no way to get the page to finish loading, Serpent closes itself. I'm attaching an error Mega gives me with the extensions enabled. Only in that case it doesn't close but it doesn't finish loading, obviously.
  11. The BNavigator Session store and Session startup declarations are: component {4e6c1112-57b6-44ba-adf9-99fb573b0a30} nsSessionStartup.js contract @binaryoutcast.com/navigator/sessionstartup;1 {4e6c1112-57b6-44ba-adf9-99fb573b0a30} category app-startup SessionStartup service,@binaryoutcast.com/navigator/sessionstartup;1 component {d37ccdf1-496f-4135-9575-037180af010d} nsSessionStore.js contract @binaryoutcast.com/navigator/sessionstore;1 {d37ccdf1-496f-4135-9575-037180af010d} I found that Iceape-UXP appears to have a similar declaration at: https://github.com/roytam1/iceape-uxp/blob/master/common/src/SuiteCommon.manifest#L23C1-L23C82 There, it has the following Session store and Session startup declarations (Iceape-UXP): component {4e6c1112-57b6-44ba-adf9-99fb573b0a30} nsSessionStartup.js contract @mozilla.org/suite/sessionstartup;1 {4e6c1112-57b6-44ba-adf9-99fb573b0a30} category app-startup SessionStartup service,@mozilla.org/suite/sessionstartup;1 component {d37ccdf1-496f-4135-9575-037180af010d} nsSessionStore.js contract @mozilla.org/suite/sessionstore;1 {d37ccdf1-496f-4135-9575-037180af010d} Forgive me for not fully understanding the code. Are the names really different? My impression is that paths are different, where BNavigator has "@binaryoutcast.com/navigator/" and Iceape-UXP has "@mozilla.org/suite/". How should I use this to allow the Session Manager extension to work as intended but for BNavigator?
  12. Yesterday
  13. OK, guys, I'll take your word for it and stay with Serpent 02-24-24 for the meantime until we get another update. I also don't update until I see others here are not experiencing anything strange. I experience something strange every day when I wake up and look in the mirror and see this! Kidding; or am I?! All kidding aside: Mega seems fine with my dirty profile:
  14. I think the -no-remote option does the same in both, New Moon and Firefox. I used this option in the past via shortcuts I created to launch different versions of Firefox in the same Windows XP installation.
  15. Indeed, it's mentioned there , parameter is "--no-remote", Is there any difference to "-no-remote" as specified by mozilla (and used by me since ever)?
  16. My dear Jfx, I have just checked with reboot.pro, and ... after so many problems with the website software update, they seem to wanna "start the ball rolling back again". the only thing of it is they want some contribution on our part, which can amount to just €10 per head, if there are as many of us as are needed to cover the expense. the greater our number, the lesser our contribution. since we have worked on wimbooting for years, we would like to still have your sense for synthesis and poignancy which has stood us in good stead for so long. As I and a few others are of the opinion that minwinning is not just a curiosity, but it can also be used for ordinary activity, it would be wonderful to join our knowledge and experience for keeping vhd's so small and still self-sufficient. To do so, I suggest that we should keep a neat modular linux-like database listing which services and dlls are needed for which various apps to still work in our minwinned vhd's. Considering my windows-reducing efforts so far, I started a decade ago with a vision from a discovery of file and folder junctions, trying to limit vhd content to just the files and folders needed to reach the desktop interface. all other files and folders I moved outside the vhd, junctioned it all back in and went on like this for years, until I discovered reboot.pro and met Wimb the Flying Dutchman. He briefed me into stopping junctioning files and folders out and back in again, as he had already envisaged a procedure called wimbooting, whereby the wim pointed to a vhd full of pointers that would guarantee the full funcioning of the system, pretty much the same as I was doing with junction, only a lot cleaner and more sensible. Then the rest has seen us all engaged in trying to reduce vhd more and more until u have come up with your knowledgeable brute-force-assisted minwin that we use today. As I was saying earlier, I have never relinquished using minwinned vhd's ordinarily, customizing my system to my advantage and liking before reducing it. the reduction has not always been so spick&span, so to speak, and I had to see what was to be retained in order for my favorite software to keep working. I have also reused my junctions on those components that not every vhd user shares with me (net framework all installed and junctioned out and back into c:\, and the same goes for my nvidia driver which can stay out of the vhd with its 1.7gigs of stuff - no reason to keep it on c:\). If we just could detect, single out and record what we have found out of services and dlls as to the functions typical of each of them, we could seriously think of using reduced vhd's to full capacity. Don't you think?
  17. In English, we have two absolutely different meanings for “weak” and “untalented,” but at MSFN we have at least three accounts that do not know that, as I pointed out March 15. You are not going to convince me that my enjoyment of a recent movie was an error on my part, nor is there any point in discussing the talents of recent movie stars with someone who does not watch recent movies. You are harassing me, and you need to have your head examined! Meanwhile, today will probably be the day when Dune: Part Two surpasses $500 million at box offices worldwide. That is very good for a post-pandemic film that is not an Avatar sequel. (Of course I also saw the Avatar sequel at a cinema more than a year ago. ) https://www.gamespot.com/articles/dune-2-nears-huge-box-office-milestone-passes-first-movies-entire-run-after-10-days/1100-6521893/
  18. OK, I have done some more tests again with other drives. The 500GB disk, which is MBR FAT32, seemed to be OK until I started actually trying to write to it, then it was immediately in serious trouble, and it all came back to me from when I tried to use it before! Huge numbers of controller errors. I still can't understand why this does not happen at all with the 3TB disk connected! I suddenly had a thought. What if the Asmedia card is actually faulty? Not likely as it's brand new, but you never know....... If you remember, the supplier sent me the wrong card initially, the version without eSATA ports on it, and I've still got it as they didn't want it back. I put it in and tried again with the same disk, no errors! I tried using the card, writing to the drive with QuickMirror in XP and 10, no problems! So, was this the issue all along? Obviously I wasn't comparing like for like, as I was comparing a 500GB MBR FAT32 drive with a 3TB GPT NTFS drive. So, I then tried with my old 2TB backup drive, which is still MBR, but NTFS. A few controller errors, in both operating systems, even with the other card, but nothing like as bad as before. Tried writing to that with QuickMirror, and no chkdsk errors. So, is the problem of the file corruption only with GPT disks? I'm a bit loathe to convert my old backup drive to GPT to check, but is this the only way to tell for sure?
  19. That's unfortunate, but understandable, thanks for reply. I've managed to figured out most of important options, but still can't seem to force taskbar to top of the screen. If someone knows how is that setup on registry level (or any other way) that would be great.
  20. I had recently upgraded my gaming PC to Windows 10 from Windows 7 in order to maintain Steam compatibility, and at that time I had bought a new SSD. But ever since then, the computer was basically unusable for 5-10 minutes after boot, or when downloading anything like Windows Updates. I tried many different things, then the other day I decided to try running a benchmark program. The reason why my computer was so slow became immediately clear. The original disk is a Crucial, and the new disk is a SanDisk. I've since moved back to the Crucial for reasons that can be seen below. Both of these were tested on Unclesocks2 Crucial MX500 SATA SSD SanDisk SSD Plus SDSSDA-480G Others can feel free to post their own results here as well
  21. I will give it a try soon and report back. Thanks for sharing. SEE BELOW Hi @Dr. Drill. Following your instructions (but using HxD32) I was able to run tor, but couldn't find a way to change the headers for obfs4proxy so it can run in XP (neither with HxD32, nor with wxmedit and other freeware hex editors). It's probably my very very limited experience doing such things. I even tried with patchPE32! So I couldn't really test bridges. I would welcome any tips on how to change obfs4proxy headers without having to buy WinHEX or HIEW. Again, probably a newbie thing. I wonder how to test snowflake, as well. Anyway, there is then another way to run (the latest version,now, of) Tor in XP. Thanks!
  22. No. Star Wars: Battlefront is a series of classic games that was launched in 2004. (twenty years ago!) In 2024 they just added an artificial block to fend off windows 7 and below. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars:_Battlefront https://store.steampowered.com/app/2446550/STAR_WARS_Battlefront_Classic_Collection/ That's why it makes sense to post here.
  23. I think that I fixed all MinWin bugs reported. WIMHost_1.1.0.3.zip
  24. Works fine in Serpent 52 (x32). Latest version 2024-02-03.

  26. That is by design, SAB hooks into explorer and stores its settings where Windows natively would. I wouldn't transfer these settings between PCs, it'll likely lead to bad registry pointers but you'd have to research where Windows would store these registry values. In other words, take screenshots and redo is the safest way. You can export HKCU\Software\StartisBack for some of the settings safely though.
