Terrible, painfully slow "saving..." process, took a screengrab.

"the lower bar"... do you mean the taskbar? EDIT: ah, it seems you do! 😄

Well, Safe Mode with networking is pretty safe. There was no internet connection regardless, and you can always physically disconnect to be sure. That made it work for WinXP removing Avast free version at least. It takes a few minutes, as opposed to a few seconds, to boot up quite but compared to wasting hours or hacking the registry, it's pretty painless. Avast work at all with Win XP now? It seemed impossible to register to continue use, The permanent key they publish wasn't accepted by my install, and anyway it couldnt get updates for quite a while. Have now moved to Clam.

Thanks for documenting! The file and folder structure which is expected by your app was clear to me from the very first, though. However, the structure of my Thorium installation is different and isn't supposed to be changed.

after the update, the taskbar disappears with parts that are not being used for a task. ie i can have chrome, note pad, pdf open, but if theres any space left the task bar will not be there. and sometimes, ill have a program open, ill minimize it, and it wont be on the taskbar.

took me a while to figure it out, go to the lower bar , right click and properties

It's been like this for ages -- years... A minor version update won't produce a different result... In my opinion, Chrome GPU rasterization is hit and miss when it comes to GPUs. For 4th generation Core CPUs (haswell) IGP, I turn it off. I leave it on for the Radeon HD7770 even though it's twice as slow as software rasterization.

Write your own code. Look at the function documentation and start with a failure stub. Only spend more time when necessary.

rule P.S. I'm still faster

Screenshot with proper file structure, only for the loader usage. @AstroSkipper

Agreed! Same here. Single-core CPU, XP x86, IBM ThinkPad T42. This T42 is on its "last leg", I only keep it around to tune aftermarket turbo's and hex-edit Engine Control Modules. I am in-process of migrating all of my engine tuning software to something else - because one of these days, it is SUPERMIUM that is going to outright KILL this laptop!

And so that everyone has something to laugh about , I am solemnly publishing the result of my Thorium test on my old Windows XP sweetheart:

@UCyborg Is there a way to install the UMDF 1.0 and the mtp driver without WMP11 ? Regards

Hello, This may be silly but hopefully you'll understand. I've installed StartAllBack. I love it. I've been using it for ages, in fact, but never had to go into the settings to tweak or adjust things. Today I wanted to, but couldn't actually find "where" the application lives? I had no choice other than to literally uninstall it, re-download it, and then re-install it (then once installed the expected configuration window pops up again. It doesn't seem to create a program files directory that I could find. It doesn't seem to create any start menu icons or desktop icons. If I close the StartAllBack configuration window, how do I go about ever launching it again?

@dmiranda Sure you get something else not related with carsh427

I'll hit "run again", walk to fast food down the road, and see if a second run improves. Scratch that. Computer locked up at 100% and I had to unplug the d@mn thing to reboot! Supermium really really REALY hates single-core computers!

XP single-core - 360Chrome [86] == 23.04 seconds Chrome 92 == 15.92 seconds Chrome 108 == 26.52 seconds Thorium == 18.02 seconds Supermium == appeared to lock up at 3.24 seconds, waited anyway, appeared to lock up at 80.99 seconds, waited some more, still waiting, still waiting, 381.74 seconds Granted, I may be behind a version on both my Thorium and my Supermium. And the author of Supermium does explicitly advise not to run on single-core (but this is supposed to be for OLD computers, so I'm running on an OLD computer).

thanx jfx, I have opened options.ini and I have come across the last line AdminAccess=1 now what are the possible alternatives and consequent consequences? for instance, what happens if I have the following AdminAccess=0 ??? I also tried running WinNTSetup_x64 drvinstpatch and it said it wanted the names of inf files and me to choose from among 2 options (p and a, patch and analyze) and then file1, file2, etc - I could not get a clue how to go on.

The last two days, I have tested Thorium vs. Supermium on my Pentium 4 32-bit system. So far, Thorium works indeed better, more reliable and smoother than Supermium under my hardware conditions. And I assume why. My Thorium version is a special SSE2 variant and adapted to this instruction set. At least, this could be a reason.
