Here is the source for the 486 fun above Dietmar https://ufile.io/i3j8idk7

Maybe it works for this too? Thank you very much! Setting dom.forms.button.standards_compliant to false did the trick. For the very first time, I was able to upload a test file from New Moon 28 to my main folder on Codeberg. I am really happy. Great find! Thanks again!

Here is the working XP SP3 for 486 cpu. It also contains in an extra folder all the for 486 modded files. It is after install in TXT-Setup before first reboot. I tested it on an Amd 133 -p75 cpu. As CD I use my german VL xp.iso with XP SP3 Dietmar https://ufile.io/upxbmmse

No idea, as you can see Disk 1 is missing in list. If exist on your machine, it will be probably something with that. Another important thing, I’m not programmer, just enthusiast. I needed tool like this so I managed it in a week with ChatGPT 4… Of course without programing knowledge it wont be possible. If you detect issue I can try to fix it, like I did with special characters replacement to display them correctly in CMD in systems older than 8.0. Source code is released, so you can always try to investigate. Feel free to fork, improve or fix and push request into main tree. Thats why we have source in public repository

I am happy to say I got it to work finally!!!! I had to throw in some more settings that somebody sent me from a NTLite forum link, so I'm not sure which one of the settings below finally did the trick, but I thought I'd throw them in here in case somebody might need to use them some day. Once again: This is just for my own scripts and experiments, WinNTSetup itself was doing it correctly already (for which I'm giving HUUUGE thanks to JFX!!!) So here are the things I added: (All are EXTRA things on top of the stuff in JFX's code example) Software hive: ============== [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\temp\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Real-Time Protection] "DisableBehaviorMonitoring"=dword:00000001 "DisableOnAccessProtection"=dword:00000001 "DisableScanOnRealtimeEnable"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\temp\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender] "DisableRealtimeMonitoring"=dword:00000001 "DisableRoutinelyTakingAction"=dword:00000001 "DisableSpecialRunningModes"=dword:00000001 "ServiceKeepAlive"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\temp\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Signature Updates] "ForceUpdateFromMU"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\temp\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender\SmartScreen] "ConfigureAppInstallControlEnabled"=dword:00000001 "ConfigureAppInstallControl"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\temp\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Spynet] "DisableBlockAtFirstSeen"=dword:00000001 System hive: ============ [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\temp\ControlSet001\Services\WdFilter] "Start"=dword:00000004 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\temp\ControlSet001\Services\WdNisDrv] "Start"=dword:00000004 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\temp\ControlSet001\Services\WdNisSvc] "Start"=dword:00000004 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\temp\ControlSet001\Services\WinDefend] "Start"=dword:00000004

Moonchild mentioned a workaround - set dom.forms.button.standards_compliant to false on about:config page and restart the browser (page reload is not enough). Maybe it works for this too?

@Cixert It is not difficult, to change from Standard PC to Acpi Multiprocessor via a Bios, that supports ACPI for XP. Your case is very different from this: After Bios update, your DSDT and SSDT tables have changed. Now, XP CANT boot any longer with acpi via them. From my experiments, mostly this goes to an "new" incompatible Graphik Mode. Your problem can be easy solved with the acpi patcher at boot time from @Mov AX, 0xDEAD. There you give them via modded ntldr always your old acpi tables, that you have fetched for example via RWEverthing in binary form. After this, your compi works like before, tricking out the new Bios Dietmar PS: Another way is just to go back to your old Bios. But this can be impossible, even with EEprom Bios chip writer.

@Cixert Yes, I try also the 486-step3 hal.dll. Same reboot until now. @ProgramHacker With 256 MB cached ram and 160 MHZ, you can work with XP SP3 on a 486 cpu. It is still slow but enough for easy tasks. For me it is just fun as much as possible, to understand XP much better and how to speed it up Dietmar

I ran XP on a 2 GHz Celeron machine back in the day and it was kinda mediocre.

Does it still in 3.7.9 test build? https://startisback.com/StartAllBack_setup.exe

I tried it on an emulated 486, and it is laggy as hell even though it sort of support 486. Also I tried it on Pentium OverDrive 486 83mhz and it's not a fun experience. (86box)

Dark Magic causes right chick menu in Details section of Task Manager to turn white:

Dark Magic causes Registry Finder scroll bars to turn white in certain windows: Program: https://registry-finder.com/

I believe the issue is happens due to the Dark Magic, how can I turn it off?

HA, not like you, I like the way to use middle click to open link in a new tab, and also I use middle click to close the tab

To me, that indeed sounds like the most plausible explanation, especially considering that they did not increase the minimum version for Chrome/Edge! Although if "security" is the reason, I would've expected them to require at least the WebP fix, which V115 lacks.

Sorry I forgot to post: Updated to 68.14.0b with no issues whatsoever for me multi-process on my systems with dom.ipc.processCount;0 Mypal68 is the best browser on earth bar none! Thank you @feodor2 Sal

I'll test them in the future.

I am yet to test this extended kernel,but the last time i did,it didn't work.

Oh yes yes sorry if I also didn't give that impression - very grateful to have options going forward if my computers are still running when 360 Chrome becomes unusable.

Thanks, now that I use that method I haven't had any problems again, well except for one. If I edit a post to change a URL, the new link preview deletes 2 or 3 paragraphs and I see no way to solve it, except by changing the address to which the original URL points. Be very careful with this, we can delete part of the written text if we don't pay attention and click on edit. I don't understand why so many changes in the forum that only cause problems and prevent old browsers from working.

Oh, I pretty much guarantee that the answer to that, worded that way, is "nothing". Rather, v114 *plus* v115 brought a SO-CALLED "security fix" that Chase just "has to have".

I open this specific thread after having commented on it in this other one https://msfn.org/board/topic/186134-ntldr-is-missing-when-updating-the-bios/#comment-1264144 because the matter does not seem easy to resolve. Unlike Windows 2000, Windows XP does not have options to change the HAL in Device Manager. So to make a HAL change it is necessary to change the 2 kernel files (normal and PAE) and the HAL.dll library to the correct version. A while ago I mentioned how to do it https://msfn.org/board/topic/177962-activate-all-processor-cores-at-startup/?do=findComment&comment=1156790 and it works without problems from ACPI uniprocessor to ACPI-APIC uniprocessor or ACPI-APIC multiprocessor and vice versa. It also works if it is change from the previous ones to Standard PC (non-ACPI) and I think that in that case it is possible to return to the ACPI version. But not if the original Windows XP installation was done as Standard PC, the previous method does not work to switch to ACPI, since the BSOD 0x7B occurs. This website https://falconfour.wordpress.com/2011/03/19/how-to-switch-windows-xp-hal-_back_-from-standard-pc-to-acpi-the-clean-way/comment-page-1/ describes a method so that the option to change to HAL ACPI in Windows XP appears in the device manager in the Computer section, but the result is the same BSOD 0x7B. A possible solution would be to reinstall XP with the repair option but I have a volume OEM copy and the repair option does not come, so another parallel XP has been installed in C: but the new copy neither has ACPI installed. I am testing with an old motherboard with Slot 1 and 440BX chipset. After updating the BIOS, the Windows XP installation still does not set ACPI by default. When installing XP it is possible to choose the correct HAL when the installation CD during boot says "press F6 if you want to change the hard drive drivers", then by pressing F5 instead of F6 a menu appears after a few seconds to choose the HAL . Other way I have found to install ACPI on this computer is by pasting a system image with ACPI created from another computer, so it works without problems, If we have the knowledge of how to transfer XP installations images from one computer to another. I want to find a method to directly change the HAL from Standard PC to ACPI in the same XP installation and without reinstalling. I think the BSOD occurs because the ACPI drivers are missing: -ACPI fixed feature button. -ACPI power button. -Microsoft system compatible with ACPI So I would like to find a way to install these drivers or modify the registry so that ACPI works. I think that if those drivers are installed and the correct ACPI information is entered into the registry (for example by extracting it from another computer) the system would work. I still have to try the ACPI 2.0 method, I have to look at it calmly, I don't quite understand it so I don't know if this method would work. https://msfn.org/board/topic/183464-compiling-acpi-v20-driver-for-windows-xp-sp3-and-windows-2003-sp2-x32x64/

Hi folks! My bank's site, chase.com, is once again upping the minimum browser version for Firefox. (This hasn't yet been implemented. At this point, a nag appears if your user agent reports a version that's "too old," but everything still works - for now.) The last time they did this, they raised the minimum to v113, and I changed my user agent to match that minimum. This time, they're raising it to ... v115. Setting the user agent to v115 or later removes the nag. I was flabbergasted! I half expected v117, the last version for Windows 7, at least. What's the point of raising the minimum by a mere two versions? What did FF v115 bring to the CSS/Javascript table that Chase just had to have? I'm anticipating a future breakage of chase.com with bated breath.
