I got some ideas for branding.. Pale Moon could be called Whistler after the Codename for Windows XP Basilisk could be called Freestyle the Codename for Windows XP Media Center Edition because of the extra media features and Australis UI Borealis could be called Neptune the Codename for a developmental predecessor of Windows XP Interlink could be called Lonestar the Codename for Windows XP TabletPC Edition (writing, email, get it?) These are all UXP based applications for Windows XP and there you go a theme for all your forks of them. OH just call Basilisk 55, call it the codename for the repo.. Moebius/Mobius. Good name at any rate. Again for the four UXP applications.. I am willing to do the work for you, get em all in one repo, do the branding (yes I will keep the appdata paths as they are to avoid profile issues) and gift wrap it for you for Christmas. What do you say? EDIT: Thank you for removing the official branding from the modified-uxp repository. ALSO, if you go forward with this I will list you on thereisonlyxul.org in a special section for Windows XP users.

See greenhillmaniac's current post in which he advises against trying to slipstream (integrate) USB 3.0 drivers and recommends installing using a PS/2 keyboard. Have you tried that? I'm not the only one with such luck. MSFN has more XP diehards than Vista diehards, and many of them are still using hardware that is probably too old to satisfactorily run Vista or Windows 7.

As I've posted in a previous thread, it is possible to get Ryzen working on Vista, but drivers are kind of a pain to get working. Windows 7 USB3 drivers do work on Vista, but don't try and slipstream them, because they're not signed for NT 6.0. I would recommend first installing using a PS/2 keyboard and a DVD, if possible.

It's been a long time, but I finally managed to update the repository: Replaced Monthly Rollup with the new KB4530695 (located on the root directory of the repository) Added Security Only Updates, KB4516051, KB4520009, KB4525239 and KB4530719 (located in the folder "/Security Only (Post August 2018)") Added Servicing Stack Update KB4531787 (located on the root directory of the repository) Replaced Internet Explorer Cumulative Update with KB4530677 (located in the folder "/Security Only (Post August 2018)") Updated SHA2 update KB4474419 to v4 (located in the folder "/SHA2") Replaced .NET Security and Quality Rollups: KB4507003 for .NET Framework 2.0 and 3.0 (located in "/NET 2.0 SP2/Security and Quality Rollup"); KB4507001 for .NET Framework 4.5 (located in "/NET 4.5.2/Security and Quality Rollup"); KB4533012 for .NET Framework 4.6 (located in "/NET 4.6-4.6.1/Security and Quality Rollup"). Updated the TLS 1.1 and 1.2 enabling reg file to include x64 (located in "/Extras") I hope I didn't miss any updates. This should cover the 4 months of updates missing. I think all of these updates require SHA2 support, so be sure to first install the Servicing Stack and SHA2 updates found in the "SHA2" folder. After Server 2008's EOL there might be a chance to use Extended Security updates on Vista until 2023, thanks to @abbodi1406's "Bypass Windows 7 ESU" hosted on MyDigitalLife forums, though I don't think anybody has tested the bypass on an actual Vista install. Merry Christmas, happy New Year and here's to 3 more years of patching https://mega.nz/#F!txxRyLzC!1vBMGzMHiL864f3bl1Rj1w

I also have that service disabled, but believe that "Terminal Services" is more directly related to the BlueKeep vulnerability. (I have avoided KB4499180 in order to retain build 6.0.6002.) If the tool doesn't work on Windows XP, users should check to see if they installed KB4500331.

I don't have a "Remote Desktop" entry inside WFW's exceptions, only "Remote Assistance", which is not selected (and thus still blocked): Isn't that the norm with Windows 10 ? Every user accessible setting that was fairly easy to locate in previous Windows versions has been now deeply buried/hidden behind a labyrinth of configuration wizards and clicks (which often get relocated anew with major Win10 semi-annual up(-de)grades) ... Have you checked it with Dependency Walker yet? Besides, since it checks for installed Windows Updates, it probably needs Admin privileges, so better run from within an Administrator's account...

... However, works OK on Windows Vista SP2 32-bit: As posted already, the devs themselves claim: It appears the app only checks for the presence (or absence) of a certain M$ update (for WS2008SP2 it's KB4499180); myself, I had already disabled some time ago the "Routing and Remote Access" Windows service... ; also achievable via a GUI setting:

Thanks to Just Off and other contributors who are keeping the legacy software alive. Raymond Hill has already stated that legacy UBO will get no new features, only bug fixes and filter updates but at least it's not dead.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_Bingbing FAN BINGBING is a New FAN of You -- She will email her 'thanks' soon enough! Added Later: Want to say THANKS for the amount of effort that You (VL) and 'Mathwiz' have done it here (RT Browser thread) to assist others. As for RT, the Browser support level that he offers it here, is of an amazingly high quality. Seems good place to say that, this message.

Good news for UBO users: gorhill has updated the legacy version to 1.16.4.12. Glad to see since I actually prefer this to the newer ones.

Though I've never been a user of either Avast nor AVG (also Avast-owned currently), thanks for that link ; but I can't pretend I'm shocked/surprised; these are, unfortunately, standard practices these days for software companies engaged in apps accessing The Web; especially where so called "Free" versions of their products are available; your personal details (e.g. a valid e-mail address and, as reported in that article, your (sensitive?) browsing habits/history) become the price you have to pay in exchange for using their free version... (semi-OT, but perhaps not so... : Off to try now latest v12 of 360ExtremeExplorer by Chinese maker QiHu (QiHoo?), based on Chromium 78... No doubt Beijing will soon learn of all my tests there... ) Happy Holidays

I, for one, say: Yay! Great!

maybe we can bisect from https://github.com/mozilla/gecko-dev/commit/857d1ac980d44356dc72b6c776d0598ddfc8eee2 to https://github.com/mozilla/gecko-dev/commit/d07aca95baf792ba610995b464278521141ef0a2 ? EDIT: rev 857d1ac is built here (plain build(SSE2 build by default), nothing is changed here, --disable-skia switch removed from mozconfig as it doesn't build with this switch specified): http://o.rths.ml/gpc/files1.rt/gecko-dev-52.0a1-20160919-857d1ac980d4-win32.7z

That's hopeful news for FF 51, which is on par with SM 2.48. Of course we don't have an SSE-only build of FF 51 for you to test. But I could test it on Win 7, if I knew how! If APZ/tiled compositing work in FF 51, that would narrow the search significantly for where they got broken (must've been between FF 51 and FF 52).

it looks like working after https://github.com/MoonchildProductions/Basilisk/commit/fd382bbb631c2c332c59ebed42ee6f594828c24f is landed (at least on win32)

Since the author of that application does already provide a "portable" version of his software, there's not much sense in doing that for HeidiSQL 10.3 ; besides, OP wants an installer for proper (non-portable) installation; my advice: use the previous XP-compatible installer, then overwrite old binaries with the new ones contained inside the portable package; some registry manual correction would be then needed (probably just "cosmetic") to make the OS aware that a "new" version of the app is now in place... (if OP has access to a Vista+ machine, he could install there while using a registry/installation monitoring application, extract the registry keys HeidiSQL 10.3 created during installation and then, with minor edits, merge those keys in his XP/Server2k3 machine...) Just my 2 eurocents

@msfntor I can (re)assure you ALL video-tests and video links you provided WORK AS INTENDED here with Serpent 52.9.0, even on my dirty profile; to simulate Windows XP better, I disabled Vista's native h264/aac decoder (by setting media.wmf.enabled to false) and let Serpent 52 use its bundled decoders, same as on XP... I can provide screengrabs if you're not convinced, but trust me, I wouldn't lie to you... Two notes: 1. On https://www.international.tbs.com/ several clips are no longer available, e.g. "Miracle Workers, Season 1"; but others, like "Those Who Can’t, SEASON 3", do load and play fine... 2. This is quite normal, since both the (older) AVI media container and the Xvid video decoder ARE NOT supported in Mozilla type browsers; I don't think even Chromium-based browsers have such support... At best, only WebM (a sub-species of the Matroska) and MP4 containers are supported in HTML5 embedded players (and with a limited choice for video stream codecs); remember, web browsers shouldn't be (or turn into) dedicated media players! If I were you, I'd stop chasing ghosts; as told before, your issues are probably derived from your extensive use of content blockers (you mentioned uMatrix), privacy extensions/settings, proxy/VPNs etc... The only content blocker here installed in Serpent 52 is uBlock Origin, with the default + several custom filter lists! Everything works as it should! If you ask for uMartix support to make your videos properly load, then I'm sorry, I'm not the guy to offer that... ... Not a big fan of Travolta's myself... ... Yes, in Remove Basilisk from the Unified XUL Platform repository which leads to https://github.com/MoonchildProductions/Basilisk Presumably, all that "relocation" was done to address UXP issue #969: Split applications off from platform (UXP) in order to Is it really "easier" for you @roytam1 that way? Also, do note last comment by M.A.T. regarding Basilisk (hence Serpent 52): https://github.com/MoonchildProductions/UXP/issues/969#issuecomment-566201633 for which https://github.com/MoonchildProductions/Basilisk/issues/1 was created

Thanks for the heads-up; that will surely affect my browser downloader batch file and, I suspect, @i430VX's installer.

The 12.18 files do not serve any added feature over 12.02 unfortunately. I found for a basic build Opera 12.02 may be better with KernelEx 4.5.1. My idea, 4.5.110 commonly known as 4.5.1 worked well with FF3.6.28 but on later versions did not transfer any data. 4.5.2 or 4.5.120 full name worked up to FF9 just. The freezing will be the TCP/IP not transferring, by turning off JavaScript it makes the pages less huge to render and could be coincidental to not freezing. The glyphs do not always show with latter FF, it all adds up to not enough resources thrown into 4.5.2 to make them work IMO. I have fooled around with buffer sizes from within the omni.ja and it is not only the transfer freezing it all has to integrate with the OS properly. YouTube would play for up to 4 minutes approximately before freezing. If on auto-play then it was OK if video changed within the 4 minutes otherwise it froze. Once a buffer is near full a new allocation would have to be made with the video play back and eventually the original buffer will need to be deleted. Or a couple of FIFO buffers might be OK, one for current video another for new video then back to original when next video is selected. Presto 2 engine was brilliant for its time, YouTube still plays but not all videos now, and is still a good email client. FF caterers for many platforms and therefore has a lot of overheads that are not used. I have upped the size of the KernelEx stack size in CurrentControlSet/Control/MprServices, it seemed to be better with CometBird.

Throughout time, the number of processes to support my empty desktop, with my favorite tweaks and "to work" software: XP: High teens. 100 MB. Vista: 30 or so. 800 MB. Win 7: 34. 1 GB. Win 8.1: 42. 1.2 GB. Win 10: 120. 4 GB. 3x the processes prior versions had to rock, just to get anything done. Says it all right there. No wonder it really doesn't seem to run any better on modern hardware than prior versions did on the best hardware of 7 years ago. And you can't really trim it down any more, for several reasons. Back when we thought Vista, Win 7, and Win 8.1 were bloated, we simply didn't know what True Bloat was. -Noel
