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.

I've reported the DigitalSpy site font and icon problems to the developer on GitHub. We'll see what happens.

Have you tried the HAL "Standard Equip with C-Step i486"? If you press F5 when starting the Windows XP installation CD, when it says press F6 to install hard drive drivers, a menu appears after a few seconds to choose the HAL layer and one of the options is that, if press F5. I am not very clear if this HAL is for a review of Intel 80486 processors or refers to other processors.

I'm getting this after installing XUSBSUPP on my Windows 95 OSR2.5 VM: Windows Protection Error. You need to restart your computer. I tried installing the FIX95CPU patch to no avail.

I think, that the reboot of the 486 compi during Setup happens, because CPUID gives values in all those registers, which tell Setup, that it is an unsupported cpu. The same happened when using a ready IDE install and can be overcome only with the nice hack from @roytam1 against Bsod 0x0000005D, Bug Check UNSUPPORTED_PROCESSOR. May be a working solution would be, to fake the 486 cpu with the CPUID settings of the Intel Overdrive 486 cpu podp5v83. But this needs to be checked careful. Anyway I get stable XP SP3 on 2 different Amd 486 cpu's, 100 MHZ and 133 MHZ. With updating the Cache to 1024 KB, may be, that XP uses all the memory and then it will be much faster Dietmar

Yep! It works as it was designed. But personally I don't like this design. TZ Clock only shows the time and date when clicking onto the toolbar item. In contrast, my Clock custom button shows the time in the toolbar itself and when hovering, the weekday and date. But in the end, it's always a question of taste.

The glass8.eu site came back online after getting parked by a domain selling site for 1,5k. Strangely, it doesn't contain any downloads for glass8 itself as all downloads redirect to a 404 page.

Oh, thank you for catching that. Sal

It workkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkssssssssssssssssssssssss Just now I am installing XP SP3 via CD on an AMD 486 100MHZ cpu Dietmar EDIT: But 486 compi reboots at the place, Windows is starting, when the harddisk should be seen.. EDIT2: Rom also was not build in one day. So, for today it is a nice result to overcome the CMPXCHG8B check in XP. Here are all my files until now for 486 XP SP3 boot and install https://ufile.io/7bgj5rv1

I had luck with TP-Link UB400 Bluetooth 4.0 dongle using Toshiba Bluetooth stack version 1.10.1029.1on Windows 98SE. I cant link it here but you should be able find it online, it is generic stack and should work with any standard BT USB interface. It worked great with my Nokia 8910 when wanted try connect it using bluetooth instead or infrared

@George King On the laptop where I have installed ListDisk I get an error message just before the list of disks: IOCTL_DISK_GET_DRIVE_LAYOUT_EX failed for 0012FE0C with error 21 Regards

well thats why i came up with the idea to use a older cpu to have the most of the results if some dont understand whats going on: the disassembly instruction code is useally shown with 2 methods: method 1 : hexadecimal the instruction set goes like this: (instead of 12345678 or 87654321) it go useally like this: 21435687 (memory storeage) for instruction it useally go like this : 12345678 to (real) 78563412 the disassembler dont show you this on the bit code therefore hex 00 01 translate to 0100 what is bit 9 (or classical if you have the 0 its 0 + 8 (9) bit 8 ) (because bit 1 has name bit 0 (and it still has 9 numbers))) thats why dietmar made it correct "test edx, 100h == F7 C2 00 01 00 00" and "or edx, 100h == 81 CA 00 01 00 00" dietmar pointed out that he has a cache problem actually that raise questions , the cpu dietmar use dont got that command but the OS (winxp) might have used up a cache setting, that CPUID command if present holds cache information i do not know how that interacts with the RAM memory - maybe thats some work for the WRK but i do not want to study the function

It amazes me how many people is still running Windows 7 on their computers. No doubt about why they're planning to impose subscription model on Windows 10+...

Rebasing also scatters the files on the disk. Try defragging after modifying files.

@Tihiy Is this the place to file bug reports? To request a feature?

No. Defrag the drive or run from RAM disk. Unfortunately, only loading all needed files will get everything into the disk cache. Scanning the app folder should help. Try Dependency Walker (or ImportPatcher for 32-bit apps).

Problem is, that we have only 6 byte for all. May be this bts edx, 8 ; Set the 9th bit in EDX and update the zero flag == 0f ba ea 08 test edx, edx ; Test the value of EDX against itself to clear the zero flag == 85 d2 So, always the 9th bit in EDX will be set, no matter if it was set already or not. And the test edx, edx makes sure, that the zeroflag is cleared. No other value in EAX, EBX, ECX, EDX is disturbed from this hack waaoh Dietmar

Latest Nier: Automata on Steam offered two EXE files. One for old Windows without Windows HDR, the other one only works on Windows with Windows HDR. Without dxvk, the Windows HDR version only shows black screen with BGM. Although the Windows HDR version works with dxvk, Windows HDR can't be activated on 1607. Persona 5 Royal on Steam requires SetThreadDescription. Unfortunately the kernel32.dll of 1607 does not support the function and there is no utility like VxKex. So the game can't run on 1607 without modification.

Lotus Lantern: Rescue Mother requires Windows 10 and up.

May be, that the check for the 9th bit in EDX for the present of CMPXCHG8B on a cpu can be faked via this Original test edx, 100h == F7 C2 00 01 00 00 replaced with or edx, 100h == 81 CA 00 01 00 00 It does not change any other in EDX, it just sets this 9th bit for CMPXCHG8B in EDX and the ZeroFlag behaves after this operation in both identically Dietmar
