All Activity

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.

Is that FOUR point eighty? Or NINE point eighty? That font is TERRIBLE.

Looking at your ExKernel.asm I see that many functions have been derived from BWCs W2K Extended Kernel 3.0e, but as far as I know he has not released any source code written in C/C++. Where would this C/C++ code come from? From Wine perhaps? Once a disassembly has been derived from this C/C++ code it is not injected into the Microsoft DLLs, but rather assembled into an extension DLL to which API calls for NT6 functions are forwarded. If I had access to C/C++ code for these NT6 functions I could just compile it to make this extension DLL, without the necessity of creating a disassembly.

HP still supports this model with XP/Vista 32/64 drivers. Win2k is not supported.

The last XP-compatible version 18.8.4084.0 of Avast Clear was from end of 2018. All later versions are no longer compatible with Windows XP as, for example, the version you have linked to.

Thanks for the flowers! However, the list is still not complete. There are further security and antimalware programmes targeting Windows XP that still need to be written about. The lack of time alone is the limiting factor, though.
