For me, the Google Drive website works in my Thorium installation but @UCyborg reported crashes with this website. Maybe, using some Chrome flags might help you. As we both already stated, trial and error is the game. And you can report this problem in Thorium's issues on GitHub to inform the developer.

Believe it or not I kept thinking about that quasi-discussion of 'too old' hardware, I mean, we all come from there, we all have an old pc in the wardrobe that worked great and we loved and stopped using due to lack of compatibility, not because it didn't work anymore. We should restrict people who are too young or have too new hardware to enter these threads or require a special permit for kids. This is hardcore, you shouldn't be here. Not having that much technical knowledge, everything I experience is trial and error, so my conclusions are what I come to from an intuitive manner and I agree with those who say it's better to disable hardware acceleration. I've found the browser works better when I disable that option on my machine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ After a few hours of testing the only page I'm having problems with is Google Drive. Already tried to sync my account in another window, disabling the extensions and can't solve it. The page loads and looks fine but when it finishes loading and stop, it crashes. Does anyone else have the same problem?

Directory Opus works for me, but it has a feature where it intercepts calls to Explorer and effectively replaces it unless you open Run and type explorer.

The monitor scales what the video card gives you. And if it gives 1600x900 (In which 800x600 is scaled, by means of the video card), then the monitor works with it as with 1600x900, offering options available for this resolution for further scaling (Emulation 17", 19", 4:3, for example, and so on). Nah, well, it's not like that at all... We may also want to change the refresh rate (and not just change the resolution\disable zooming). How will the monitor handle this? I didn't find anything about this for DVI (There are solutions for VGA, they are tested and work. Such as UniRefresh, UniVBE, VBEHZ), but for DVI, the frequency specified in the monitor's EDID (Preferred Timing Mode) is always used, at least for nVidia. I haven't found any utility that allows you to switch refresh rates (For DVI) yet. There is another idea here - to make several versions of EDID, prescribing in each your preferred video mode and refresh rate (So that you can choose your own for each case). But how to re-shoot EDID under DOS? Where is it actually stored in memory (so that it can be replaced and reinitialized)? Of course, outside the monitor. After all, it comes from the monitor to the computer and is stored somewhere in a volatile part of the memory. I will later try to test one hypothesis, whether it is even possible in principle to initialize (And force to use) another EDID in one day, without rebooting the PC (So far over the wire, with the actual transfer of another EDID). If the experiment is successful , the possibility of redefining the EDID under DOS in memory may theoretically exist (which is at least somewhat encouraging). PS: I have already found information about the existence of hardware solutions that allow you to replace the EDID. But for now, I would like to try to limit myself exclusively to software tools (After all, with VGA it is possible to do this. Why all of a sudden such difficulties with DVI?).

I updated my toolpack NTHelper AiO

Yes, there was error. I correct it here: Win7-11-Auto.xml

That it did. Just ran MotionMark 1.3. There is a difference: Without GPU: With GPU: There's also a slight (5%) but repeatable difference in Speedmark 3.0

I remembered that after changing acpi.sys to patched after boot WinXP system probably finds a new device because you can hear the sound of Windows XP Hardware Insert.wav (Device Connect event) - maybe OS finds a new disk or disk controller - I don't know.

I have just tested ebay.de with a more recent user agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:122.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/122.0. This seems to help a bit. The eBay websites run more smoothly for me with this user agent in New Moon 28.

@reboot12 I noticed this behavior also on XP SP3. Yepp, something in registry changed. Because of this, I always make a copy of the whole folder Windows\system32 Dietmar

Nah... "They" were "bad" to begin with ... Updating their code frameworks to target Google Chrome 125+ (which "they" expect every single one of their users to be on at the moment ) is what distances all these services further away from what UXP can (reasonably) digest ...

I think you can do this. The error your xml generates is very clear.

I have now tried to log into my Paypal account separately in New Moon 28. I was able to solve the captcha and was redirected correctly to my account. The two factor authentication, however, annoys me as always. Why this didn't work during my payment process, I really don't know.

When I access the website https://www.deepl.com/translator with Chrome 43.0.2357.134, the padlock is green. A different certification path is listed here than in 360Chrome. Is it possible to set which certification is used?

Today, the Chrome XP API Adapter has been updated to version 1.2.0.5059. I installed it and did not add the two flags in terms of hardware acceleration. That works for my old machine.

BTW, Amazon, eBay and Paypal have become really bad. These sites are much more sluggish in New Monn 28 than months ago.

JFX, can you publish autounattend.xml for win 10, 11 with disabled bitlocker automatic on, and full unattended setup without asking anything? Thanks in advance. For making things easy i did this file, but not sure if everythink is good to work Win7-11-Automatic.xml

Unfortunately, I have to report that the payment of an eBay item with Paypal in New Moon 28 no longer works. You get stuck when logging into your Paypal account after a captcha request. Therefore, I had to make the purchase via my tablet. Can anyone confirm this issue?

Today I noticed a thing on my old ThinkPad X61 with WinXP SP2 64-bit I needed to test patched acpi.sys in this OS with a one program: under WinPE I replaced the original acpi.sys to modified: ren c:\windows\system32\drivers\acpi.sys acpi.bak copy f:\acpi.sys c:\windows\system32\drivers\acpi.sys I tested the program - the system and the program works without a problem now under WinPE restore original acpi.sys: ren c:\windows\system32\drivers\acpi.sys acpi.mod ren c:\windows\system32\drivers\acpi.bak acpi.sys unfortunately, after the restart I have BSOD 7B. I tried to change the SATA mode AHCI to Compatibility in the bios but it doesn't help I had to restore the system from the image in Acronis True Image because I didn't know how to fix it. You can't manipulate acpi.sys files after the system is already installed! Maybe you have to make a copy of the registry before?

I have read that some MSFN members use the browser with the native sandbox. Obviously those using Windows XP will be aware that the Chromium sandbox works worse than => Windows Vista. Not only for I.L. Also for TCP/IP: TCP/IP socket security in Windows 2000 and Windows XP (but not in Vista) is effectively null. Even those using FAT32 Volumes in this case the security descriptor on them is effectively null. https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/refs/heads/main/docs/design/sandbox.md These are the differences with Mozilla-sandbox: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Sandbox Therefore, it would be very interesting to see whether for the same operating system the Mozilla sandbox or the Chromium sandbox is more efficient. To check the level of the sandbox of r3dfox : about:support

I also use a “reinforcement” called NIST-P384 algorithm TLS Kyber Confidentiality. I have no problem with it. The problem you brought to attention (even then for clients) is due to a bug in the servers: https://tldr.fail/

Oh, I don't consider whatever bad happens with content user wants to post to be "an editor issue". What happens after submitting is no longer under the client control.

Hmm I am just aware of the Pegasus system.

The new version of that "Modern Kyber Cipher" is broken, again. https://msfn.org/board/topic/186243-beware-new-quic-kyber768-quantum-resistant-mechanism-is-broken-workaround-to-disable-it-in-chrome-124
