  1. Sure I do! Once I have enough time I will put it in the main post, alongside a little tip for people who experience choppy frame rates at 120 FPS, usually with an ATI Radeon X1950 Pro. While I developed the UOC Patch with an NVidia card (my overclocked 6800GT), now I got a Radeon X1950 Pro in my Tualatin, and I noticed that at 120 FPS, scrolling is quite choppy, almost as if the browser is running at 30 FPS. I will post the workaround in the next days, alongside "sticking" Mathwiz's workaround with Mediafire and disabled ciphers. Work is keeping me quite busy lately so I had little time to post on the forum, and I apologize for that. EDIT: I've added @Mathwiz's tip in the main post. If you experience choppy scrolling (which is unrelated to the stuttering issue I mentioned in the New Moon thread), you can try to set these two values in the about:config, in the way showed below: layers.offmainthreadcomposition.frame-rate - 60 layout.frame_rate - 60 60 FPS seems to be the sweet spot on my Tualatin RDD with the X1950 Pro, while the 6800GT runs silky smooth at 120 FPS. I'm curious to see how much the upcoming Geforce 7800GS will fare. Hopefully, it should have way less overhead than the X1950 Pro since it uses Forceware 81.98, just like the 6800GT, but overclocks way more, from what I've read online.

  2. I just had an idea; for open source software we could try recompiling them with Visual Studio 2005/2008 or anything else that will let us target win2k.

  3. it may be ISP related. for UK connectivity, CF support staff contacted me from support ticket and giving me I list of CF UK IPs so I can trace back from my side, and I found that my upstream uses TATA Communications network (AS 6453) for intermediate route and it seems having a bad route to UK. I created a support ticket to my upstream ISP. for Italy IPs, I'm asking CF support staff if (s)he can test and give out IPs for me to trace back.

  6. ... This is better worded as follows: Windows XP is well alive in 2019 China since are ALL browsers offered by Chinese vendors (and mainly target mainland China users...; I won't even touch the privacy concerns associated with Chinese browsers in general ). The fact that XP still holds a strong market share among Chinese netizens is the very reason that gives incentive to these Chinese vendors to invest, no doubt, considerable resources to (probably manually) undoing all the many thousand lines of code Google have pushed after Chromium 49, so as to restore XP and, probably as a not intended by-product, Vista compatibility in their Chromium 69 & 70 forks. Being myself in the Mozilla camp, I would've liked for them to have similarly produced an XP/Vista compatible Quantum fork, but I suspect they were not interested in such an enterprise (technical limitations aside): Quantum currently enjoys only a small fraction of Google Chrome's usage share; and Google Chrome is already on its own a hugely more efficient spyware than Quantum, so why bother to begin with? Of the rest two browsers in your first list, Nano Browser (still in alpha testing phase) is an Indian product (another territory where XP is still abundant), while Lunascape is a Japanese product (which makes it the odd one out, I suppose; BTW, have you checked that the Gecko and Webkit engines inside Lunascape are indeed XP compatible? If not, Lunascape would be only able to use IE8's Trident engine under XP and that alone, as I'm sure you already know, won't get you very far in 2019's web ). PS: This is not an XP dissing post, I still love XP myself, having spent 6 years on it before sticking with Vista; but it is a reality check all the same...

  8. I had been meaning to respond to this topic for a week, but I'd been so preoccupied with work and other commitments that I hadn't had the chance to ... until now! I wanted to leave a huge thank-you, @XP-x64-Lover, for all you've done in finding these drivers and allowing those of us sticking with XP64 a chance to upgrade to hardware a bit more recent. Between your drivers and the trick explained by Matt's Repository for getting XP/XP64 drivers for the nVidia 9XX series, on Memorial Day Weekend I was able to finally give my desktop the badly needed overhaul I'd been wanting to do since my first posts at MSFN back in 2014! That's 64 GB of DDR4 RAM, SABERTOOTH X99 motherboard, Intel i7-6950X CPU, and a GeForce GTX TITAN X. I wasn't able to get the SSD thing sorted out, so I wound up using the IDE method, which has worked amazingly well with my existing install. Since @bluebolt figured out a way to get an install of XP64 working on a NVMe 2.0 drive, I may skip the SSD and attempt a fresh install off of that instead, since the X99 has a bay for NVMe drives. For now, though, I'm just excited to have not only put my hardware troubles behind me for now, but that I've now got the RAM upgrade I've wanted for years!

  9. Thank you. Many years ago I began archiving MS-DOS, Windows 3.1, and Windows 95 resources that in my opinion were increasingly becoming endangered but that were of historical significance. I eventually uploaded these online in 2011 as many of these resources are extremely rare and cannot be replaced. Having this stuff backed up with server redundancies and failover is a safer method of preservation. Some of the original links online for this softwareare dead (even with the wayBack Machine) which is where my site comes into play. I didn't want my physical media to be the only source, particularly since physical media tends to degrade over time. That gradually grew into numerous directories for NT 4.0, 98, 2000, and XP. I generally skipped ME and Vista as I was not fond of either OS. I think that people should have complete unfettered freedom to use the software they know and love. If it does the job it was intended to do, it's not obsolete. I don't think people should be forced along by "planned obsolescence" or by corporations whose interest is to make money.
