Yesssa , I succeed to boot XP SP3 full acpi.sys to desktop. I think for the very first time in world on an Arrow Lake board with pure UEFI, no CSM at all, Gigabyte B860 DS3H with 245k cpu and 32 Gb ram. Low screen resolution and PS/2 keyboard does not work, but I get.. nicccceeee Dietmar Here is the crazy modded acpi.sys for to reach this https://files.catbox.moe/12sdhj.sys

Where did I claim that it always works? First of all, it works for me on my Windows XP computer (real installation on a hard disk with time-period correct, old hardware, i.e. no virtualisation). And that means that it can basically work. No more and no less.

Same here in New Moon 28. But it works in Mypal 68.

True. Also sad, as that version really isn't that old. Today I found myself unable to log into my discover.com account using Thorium. Seriously? Perhaps a UAO would've gotten me in, but the discover.com site was not at all helpful with regard to minimum supported browser versions. I only tried a Chromium 125 user agent, which didn't work. Version 125 works with Chase, which is only reason I tried even that one UAO. As a Windows 7 user, it was easier for me to just try R3dfox, which worked, so I didn't pursue UAOs any further.

Yesssssaaa After soso much crazy tests and hacks I succeed with the Nvidia GT 730 graphik card for to boot XP SP3 with full 32 bit 3D graphik on the Arrow Lake Gigabyte board B860 DS3H under pure Uefi, means no csm at all. Dietmar

I'm glad you like my article. Creating it and making the HTTPSProxies more future-proof was a pleasure for me as a die-hard fan of Windows XP.

Hide Tab Bar If Only One Tab - A UC.JS script for hiding the tab bar if only one tab is present and positioning the new tab button before the search bar As part of my JavaScript and CSS studies , I have been working on hiding the tab bar in Mypal 68 when only one tab is open in the browser, purely for practice purposes. For this endeavor, I was able to develop a number of solutions based on different methods: A purely CSS-based method (variant 1) A purely CSS-based method (variant 2) A purely JavaScript-based method using a mutation event A purely JavaScript-based method using a mutation observer (variant 1) A purely JavaScript-based method using a mutation observer (variant 2) A JavaScript-based method with embedded CSS (variant 1) A JavaScript-based method with embedded CSS (variant 2) I will present the result of my work here today in the form of method 6. Although all methods have their right to exist and conserve resources, methods 1, 2, 6 and 7 are by nature the least taxing on the processor. So, why a JavaScript-based method with embedded CSS instead of a purely CSS-based one? The answer is easy. The purely CSS-based method works fine when it comes to hiding the tab bar in Mypal 68 when only one tab exists but the new tab button is then no longer visible. If you don't need this button, the purely CSS-based method is completely sufficient. But if not, you will miss this button to quickly open new tabs. That's why I created this JavaScript-based method with embedded CSS. Alternatively, when using CSS only, the user first has to manually move the new tab button to a desired location if needed. BTW, there are different CSS code snippets available for hiding the tab bar in the World Wide Web but a lot of them do not work properly in Mypal 68.14.8b. That's why I created my own code, and this as minimal as possible. My HideTabBarIfOnlyOneTabCSS-5.0.uc.js script performs the following actions. First, it positions the new tab button before the search bar. The target position for the new tab button can of course be changed by the user and requires only minimal JavaScript knowledge. Then, it hides the tab bar if only one tab is present. Additionally, this script sets a min-height adjustable by the user for the tabs depending on the density setting currently selected. BTW, all methods have been deeply tested by me and are working in Mypal 68.14.8b. I developed them with my favoured Alice0775 script loading method but they are also working with other methods, such as the Xiaoxiaoflood script loading method. Due to the permanent changes especially regarding CSS made by Mozilla and by @feodor2 who follows their guide lines, this code will definitely break one day. When this happens, I will provide another one of my solutions which will most probably also work in future releases of Mypal 68. Of course, only if there is a recognisable interest. Here is a short animation showing my script in action: This script is aimed at users who only open a few tabs or even only use a single tab. In the latter case, more space is available for the web content when the tab bar is hidden. However, for tab hoarders or tab collectors, this script will be of no use. And here is the download link for my HideTabBarIfOnlyOneTabCSS-5.0.uc.js script: https://www.mediafire.com/file/82ex3oierj09mt1/HideTabBarIfOnlyOneTabCSS-5.0.uc.js/file BTW, my other script HideTabbarWithOneTab.uc.js from August 2024 is now obsolete. It does not work in Mypal 68.14.8b and can only be used in older releases, such as Mypal 68.14.4b. Greetings, AstroSkipper

Welcome back! Not being able to continue reading where you last left off is of course annoying. I wouldn't be particularly pleased either...

Facebook & Co always throw tons of error messages in the Browser Console in New Moon 28. Awful! No interest to look deeper into it since I do not even use such services. But your linked website and video at least work in Mypal 68. BTW, after closing this site in Mypal 68 and cleaning the browser cache, residues remain, which lead to error messages in the Browser Console when switching back to the MSFN page. Only a restart with purging the startup cache provides a remedy. Facebook is simply rubbish. Anyway! Maybe, one day there will be fixes coming from MCP which then might be ported to @roytam1's browsers. @roytam1 will eventually know more details.

The animation above is based on two implementations I use in combination. A CSS stylesheet from Aris-T2 for a tab bar with multiple lines, adapted to my needs, and an UC.JS script I created from scratch for hiding automatically the tab bar if only one tab is present. This UC.JS script is unique, written by me in pure JavaScript and contains a new method I developed to automatically hide the tab bar with only one tab completely, i.e. neither an empty space nor the new tab button remain. This new code works much better than all existing solutions you can find elsewhere. It does its job in all possible cases and doesn't need additional CSS code. There are also pure CSS solutions available from different sources in the World Wide Web but in some cases, they unfortunately either fail or do not work anymore. In contrast, my method is extremely compatible to all existing modifications inside Mypal 68, which could be made by the user, and really hides the tab bar in case of only one existing tab as it is shown in the animation above. My knowledge of JavaScript and CSS, which I have acquired and deepened over the last months on an autodidactic basis, seems to be bearing fruit without end when it comes to scripts. I'm as proud as Oskar (German saying). Especially considering that I am not a programmer by nature.

You didn't provide any information about your previous setting of the gfx.color_management.mode pref. You only stated that you solved it by switching the pref to 0. And therefore, I can't see any propaganda from my side but in contrast to you detailed information. And TBH, I have to ask myself nothing at his point as it works for me with the default setting. So, you should rather ask yourself. And since you are so extremely polite , there will be no further help from me at this point. The sound of words makes the music. I do not have to be insulted and to waste my time for nothing.

There is no such issue in, for example, Serpent 52 (2025-04-03) on my Windows XP computer. Did you try it in a brand new and clean profile without any modifications? FYI, you generally should only post issues confirmed in such a profile.

Why don't you post problems with New Moon and Serpent in @roytam1's thread? It doesn't really make sense to open a new thread for this. You are also much more likely to get an answer there.

So yesterday LibreOffice launched v25.8, which will be released in August this year. As anticipated, this version will drop support for Windows 7 and 8.1. Nonetheless, I was curious if it will work on these OS. On Windows 7 it does not work, since Windows 7 doesn't support Python 3.9+. You will receive the error "api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll" is missing. I used VxKex, which fixes that error, however another dependency from Windows 8+ is missing On Windows 8.1, Alpha 1 works without any errors. I copied the folder from another Windows 10 install and I could launch Writer, Calc, Office... Here, Windows 8.1 definitely benefits from higher Python support and newer APIs

since @rn10950 is doing his job, I don't think I need to pick this up again.

This is not a problem (only) with legacy browsers. It is also related to the use of tweaks that reduce the ID'ing of one's browsing behavior, even in the newest versions of FF and derivatives. I haven't used legacy browsers (other than icecat, if you can call that legacy) for over six months. And yet, I get annoying cloudfare BS all the time. I blame those who use cloudfare, or similar s*** to "secure" their sites. Do your homework. Make safe your castle on your own. Do not rent knights for hire to do so.

What @D.Drakersays is ironclad. Faulty drivers can easily kill hardware, I had an Nvidia card killed due to overheating (over-voltage?) by their faulty driver 364. Just use search, it's well described.

Why you just won't copy-paste the whole post here? Have you no respect for MSFN?

Right now in TOP 500 there is only Linux, but in past there was even Mac OS X supercomputers. Last time Windows Supercomputer was in TOP500 was 2015 year. There is supercomputers that run on Windows now, just they are not in TOP 500.

I saw I had to use Supermium for websites that are "too new" for Serpent/newmoon (avif support, etc.).

I've always wondered about this as well. In the past I built Pale Moon on Linux a few times on my old Haswell i5 with 16GB Ram and it took about 20 minutes. PS, Supercomputers don't run Windows.

Recently, many sites have been inserting video footage taken with the VP09 codec. Browsers have problems playing such materials. For example: https://www.facebook.com/livethegame47/videos/3046491658708982/ A message appears: Sorry, there were problems playing this video Is it perhaps related to a too old version of the LAV libraries? Dated 2017 https://o.rthost.win/palemoon/lav64.7z Or is it another reason?

I read about gfx.color_management.mode -> http://kb.mozillazine.org/gfx.color_management.Mode - it turns out that gfx.color_management.mode is related to the color profile in the SYSTEM. So I checked: I forgot that I set up ... a bit exotic profile by Kodak some time ago Now: I have returned to the sRGB profile. The native "2" (not "0") is ok now. problem solved. The fact that I should look at gfx.color_management.mode someone suggested me in a few kind sentences on another forum.

Your assumption is wrong. Doesn't seem to be one of your strengths. You solely interpret, but not particularly well. All your quotations lead to the statement that it works for me. No more, no less.

The default value of the gfx.color_management.mode pref in New Moon 28, Serpent 52 and Mypal 68 is 2. And this works for me. No need here to set it to 0.

I don't have a crystal ball, and this is not a guessing game. If you really need help, unspecific questions or replies without any information are simply useless. Your problem page works fine in New Moon 28 and Serpent 52, which means that something is wrong on your side. Good luck finding the cause!

I just pray a new company will overtake Windows at this point. There's nothing good or stable about Windows. Everything good about Windows is stuck on older versions. Whatever happened to efficiency? Windows 10 and later is nothing more than a trainwreck covered in a bit of glitter. There is literally nothing new or innovative. You can get all the same tasks done even on Windows 98.

Tutorial: Building and Patching csmwrapper.efi to Add INT 13h Disk Services This guide walks you through setting up an EDK II build environment, compiling the original csmwrapper.efi source, and integrating an INT 13h hook so that SeaBIOS can recognize SATA, USB, and NVMe boot devices. —-------------------------------------- 1. Prerequisites • Host OS: Linux (Ubuntu 20.04 or later) or WSL • Packages: git, build-essential (GCC, Make), uuid-dev, iasl, python3, python3-distutils, bzip2, libssl-dev, libncurses5-dev, nasm (optional) On Ubuntu: sudo apt update sudo apt install git build-essential uuid-dev iasl python3 python3-distutils bzip2 libssl-dev libncurses5-dev nasm —-------------------------------------- 2. Obtain EDK II Base Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/tianocore/edk2.git cd edk2 git checkout edk2-stable202203 Initialize build environment: source edksetup.sh Verify environment: echo $EDK_TOOLS_PATH echo $CONF_PATH —-------------------------------------- 3. Prepare the csmwrapper Sources Copy csmwrap-1.1.0 into edk2/CSMWrap Ensure it contains: CsmWrapper.inf Platform .dsc including this package Source files (.c, .h, optional .asm) Build scripts/Makefile Directory structure example: edk2/ └── CSMWrap/ ├── CsmWrapper.inf ├── Platform.dsc ├── x86thunk.c └── ... —-------------------------------------- 4. Configure INF and DSC – In CsmWrapper.inf: • Add x86thunk.c to Sources • Add dependencies under LibraryClasses: UefiDriverEntryPoint UefiBootServicesTableLib DebugLib CpuIoLib BaseLib LegacyBiosPlatformLib LegacyBiosThunkLib – In your Platform .dsc under Components: COMPONENTS = CSMWrap/CsmWrapper.inf —-------------------------------------- 5. Patch x86thunk.c to Hook INT 13h In Legacy16Init(...), after the null-handler registration loop, insert: // Hook INT 13h for disk services Status = Private->Cpu->RegisterInterruptHandler( Private->Cpu, 0x13, LegacyBiosDiskInterruptHandler ); if (EFI_ERROR(Status) && Status != EFI_ALREADY_STARTED) { return Status; } At the top of the file, declare: VOID EFIAPI LegacyBiosDiskInterruptHandler( IN EFI_EXCEPTION_TYPE InterruptType, IN EFI_SYSTEM_CONTEXT SystemContext ); And add a stub to prevent build errors: VOID EFIAPI LegacyBiosDiskInterruptHandler( IN EFI_EXCEPTION_TYPE InterruptType, IN EFI_SYSTEM_CONTEXT SystemContext ) { // TODO: implement INT 13h dispatch return; } —-------------------------------------- 6. Implement the Disk Handler Inside LegacyBiosDiskInterruptHandler: Save registers from SystemContext.SystemContextX86 Extract AH (RegEax >> 8) to determine function If AH < 0x41, call legacy I/O via Block I/O thunk If 0x41 ≤ AH ≤ 0x48, set up Disk Parameter Packet (DPP) at ES:SI and handle extended calls Set CF/ZF and registers in SystemContext per BIOS spec Tip: Consult EDK II’s LegacyBiosDxe/Int13Handler for reference. —-------------------------------------- 7. Build with EDK II From edk2 root: source edksetup.sh build -a IA32 -p CSMWrap/Platform.dsc -b DEBUG Result: csmwrapper.efi in Build/DEBUG_IA32/CSMWrap/Application/. —-------------------------------------- 8. Test in SeaBIOS Copy the new csmwrapper.efi to your firmware’s CSM path. Boot and verify that SeaBIOS now lists SATA/USB/NVMe devices. Use DEBUG((DEBUG_INFO, ...)) in your handler for logging. —-------------------------------------- 9. Next Steps • Complete full dispatch in the handler (reset, status, etc.) • Validate large-drive support via functions 0x48 (get parameters) and 0x42 (extended read) • Consider upstreaming your patch to the CSM wrapper project

Nvidia GTX 1050Ti will never work properly with XP.

The topic is about Win 8.1, but since there is no separate one for 8.0 I am posting the information here, it also works after very similar modifications (even GetSystemTimes is not missing, although this 8.0 is RTM without any updates, and 8.1 I use updated to the end of 2017)

The only example you gave is a website where the user has to register. You said: "...more and more sites...". So please list here examples of websites which appear unsecure in 360Chrome and do not need any registering! Thanks

What's good about this is that I always find time to smoke a cigarette and drink a cup of strong coffee or East Frisian tea.

Correct, compact characterisation. It looks like the browser world is about to shrink a little. At least for me. Chrome 127 is definitely the end for me. A browser like that has to be avoided. And there seem to be many users who feel the same way. The reason for this is, of course, manifest 3 and the associated restrictions on extensions, which are particularly tragic for content blockers like uBlock Origin. Personally, I'm happy to use New Moon 28, Serpent and Mypal 68 and will continue to do so for as long as possible.

Yes, that's very close to what I get, thanks.

Hi, bookie32, actually there should be "Safely Remove Hardware" icon on the taskbar with a dedicated USB icon. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/safely-remove-hardware-in-windows-1ee6677d-4e6c-4359-efca-fd44b9cec369

I'm sorry, I can't say whether he was German or not, it might be seen as PM leaks. But he seemed like a nice fella. And yes, I agree with you, less rumours is always better, people need their privacy. Again, I'm very glad you're with us and share your knowledge!
