As I have very recently re-posted, Be that as it may, for probably the last time: 1. Latest version of Mypal is 28.17.0 2. There have been no locale string changes since much previous version 28.13.0, so LP for that older version should be compatible with the latest version of Mypal. 3. This is general advice and I lost count of how many times I've posted about it, but in Mozilla-type browsers, for the language pack to take effect, you have to a) visit about:config and search for pref general.useragent.locale The default value would normally be en-US b) change the value to the one corresponding to your locale en-US => it c) restart browser Tada!

Just one lone update from Server 2012 to apply for December 2020: KB4592497 Still going strong with Windows 8.

Microsoft teams after some tinkering does work with the extended kernel. I cant believe that! https://prnt.sc/uyh387

There are many reasons Windows 7 is an objectively superior OS to Windows 10 and why I will use it until I die. This is one of them: Naturally, Windows 10 users won't get this notification. That would, you know, actually improve the UX, so that would be anti-Windows 10. Guess you'll have to wait for the Sunday paper to tell you what you missed.

Everything you need to know is in the first few posts there. Install kb4019276 and kb4316682, then enable TLS 1.2 in IE settings. If it doesn't show up as an option, save the following as a .reg file and import it: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AdvancedOptions\CRYPTO\TLS1.1] "OSVersion"="3.5.1.0.0" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AdvancedOptions\CRYPTO\TLS1.2] "OSVersion"="3.5.1.0.0" P.S. avoid double-posting. You can easily edit your last post instead.

Nice game to check your Flash player It may be my foggy memory, but i remember it playing smoother 5 years ago on this same system (GeForce 7600GS back then, Radeon HD 2600 Pro now) ... Dunno if it's because of the newer browser or newer Flash version, but the action often freezes for a bit now.

Personally, I have not used XP since I upgraded to Vista about 13 years ago, but I have enabled TLS 1.1 and 1.2 for IE9 on Vista. If you hope to turn IE8 into a good browser to use in 2021, then you are probably wasting your time. Here’s another link where this was already discussed at MSFN: https://msfn.org/board/topic/177500-upgrading-ie8-to-tls-12/

WinNTSetup 4.5.0 Beta 2 - removed NT5 uxtheme patch - fixed mounting boot partition regression - improved bootice darkmode

I never used Mypal (and roytam1 is not the developer), but if it works on XP, then it is not based on Firefox 68 (User Agent certainly does not prove otherwise). Maybe @feodor2 can tell you how to enable TLS 1.3 in that browser?

<semi-OT> Another IPS board I occasionally browse (but don't belong to as a registered member) is nsane.forums . That one has also undergone the forum software overhaul last autumn, but the IPS default theme has been kept as a custom choice; do note that what's currently available is an updated iteration of past IPS default, but if one enables the new version now, one can get a good glimpse of what the pre-update version looked like... @asdf2345 : Scroll down to the bottom banner, then choose via "Theme": @siria : I combined your "fixes" into the following Stylem userstyle: @-moz-document domain("msfn.org") { html body.ipsApp li#cUserLink:hover ul#elUserLink_menu { display: inline-block !important; } html body.ipsApp ul#elUserLink_menu { background-color: yellowgreen !important; } html body.ipsApp ul#elUserLink_menu li { line-height: 1 !important; } ul.ipsComment_tools ul.ipsHide:hover, a.ipsComment_ellipsis:hover + ul.ipsHide { display: inline-block !important; position: static !important; } } to be used in Tycho based browsers (NM27, Arctic Fox) ; still, the overall MSFN experience in these browsers is highly problematic ... (I don't mean to be disrespectful , but the site owner tested the new layout only in Google Chrome 87/Win10 and, of course, all things work there as "expected"; so, no sympathy is expected/felt for (us here) users of older browsers on older OSes, which, I believe, is a unique trait of MSFN itself as a broader community, i.e. not to look down on users because of their Windows OS/hardware choices... Anyhow, the dice is cast and Rubicon crossed... ) <semi-OT/>

Update on this: Colour Picker custom selections are now stored in HTML5 cookies: The extension used is CookieKeeper 1.9.3.1

Chrome 87 and Windows 10. Everything works.

We had to upgrade out forum software as it was out of date and with the recent spam attack we had, we needed to ensure that we're up to date to make sure things like that aren't a common occurrence in the future. I'm honestly not sure if there's much that can be done about the rounded UI. I'm happy that Invision didn't decide to go with rounded profile pictures. It seems that has been the current trend and I hate it. But please try and be as patient as possible as xper continues to work on the site. He's currently got his hands full so it might take a little time.

As my dear Italian friend mentioned, only the ActiveX version of Flash (e.g. for IE) will be removed via Windows Update in Win > 7; Microsoft Edge (Chromium based) will, no doubt, be updated to a Flash-free version at that same time... NPAPI and PPAPI Flash versions manually installed by the user will have to be also uninstalled manually, but, if your OS is compatible, future browser updates (Mozilla Firefox and the numerous Chromium variants) will come with Flash supporting code completely removed... Of note is the fact that MCP browsers (Pale Moon, Basilisk) and forks will not drop support, but this fact will become a moot point after Jan 12th (unless user downgrades to NPAPI Flash <=32.0.0.71, to satisfy whatever niche needs...).

install WUFUC. it sometimes pops up after reboot, but don't worry about it. https://github.com/zeffy/wufuc

It's basically embedded Chromium, if screenshare only works on 10, something is either broken in Chromium or on Discord's side

Well yes, I'm aware of that. But discord still list windows 7 as their os requirement. Since they still list windows 7 I think we should not add it yet. source: https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/213491697-What-are-the-OS-system-requirements-for-Discord-

The first "problem" and the one that needs to be addressed by UXP issue #1675 is the embedded web player on rutube.ru not loading/displaying in UXP browsers (New Moon 28, Serpent 52, IceApe-uxp, BNavigator, etc.), whereas the rest of the rutube.ru site is being loaded/displayed correctly. The second problem (probably unrelated to the first one) with the rutube.ru site is that in NM27 it appears to load at first, but then it vanishes into thin air, leaving an empty tab; in deprecated Mypal 27.9.4 and in Arctic Fox 27.11 (both Tycho forks, much like NM27), the site in question does load (no "second" problem present), but, of course, minus the embedded web player ("first" problem still present...). One begs the question what good it might be having a video portal working in a browser minus the ability to watch videos there (...), but to each their own...

... Thanks ; I arrived there independently myself, as posted here: Have a Happy New Year, I hope you weren't affected by that recent, strong, earthquake in your region...

As reported already by others, NM27 27.9.7 (32-bit) (2020-12-25) effectively kills several of previously installed extensions, below follow the status/addon bar of the same dirty profile first loaded in 27.9.7 (32-bit) (2020-12-11): and then loaded in latest 27.9.7 (32-bit) (2020-12-25): Missing icons, from L->R, are for: Dismiss The Overlay 1.0.3 Age Unlimiter for YouTube 1.0.2 (currently broken...)

I can get parts of the site to display and stay on screen: when I have uBlock Origin (v1.16.4.22b1) enabled: Some script of theirs is blocked so that the site's vanishing act is thwarted...

So first of all why are you hostile againts me? where did I accuse you of something? What exactly have I done to you??? Alright this was my last reply to any of your posts, but you seriously misunderstands me. [Moderator's note: Suggestions about illegal activity, even indirectly, are not permitted here]

Hi ; I tested this on latest Serpent v52.9.0 (2020-12-25) (32-bit), which belongs in the family of UXP (platform) browsers (like NM28 & Iceape-uxp); the error in the web console is: SyntaxError: invalid regexp group The error is generated on the bulky javascript blob they're sending to initialise their embedded web player: https://rutube.ru/player/player.js Searching for more details wrt said error, one finds it's related to the "lookbehind regexp" feature; in Mozilla type browsers, this was first tracked in Bugzilla #1225665 5 years ago... That issue stagnated for long and was only "fixed" last May, when Bugzilla #1634135 landed in Firefox 78 (release & ESR branches), in essence when a fully re-authored regexp engine was merged-in... Indeed, when I tried your test page in FxESR 68.12.0 (on Win7 SP1) it failed, but latest Firefox 84.0.1 was able to load the rutube.ru player... As for the UXP platform, implementation of regexp lookbehind is still very ... behind (pun intended): https://repo.palemoon.org/MoonchildProductions/UXP/issues?type=all&state=open&labels=&milestone=0&assignee=0&q=lookbehind Latest of the three, UXP issue #1675, is, in fact, bounty material... In Chromium land, the feature was first implemented in Chrome 62 (FTR, Chrome 49 ends up displaying an empty grey page) ... TL;DR : Under Windows XP, viable option to use rutube.ru in a browser is to use a flavour of the Chinese-made 360 Extreme Explorer, v11 -> Chromium 69 based (seen below): v12 -> Chromium 78 based (as posted by @we3fan ) v13 -> Chromium 86 based... I don't know whether this is actually considered as a solution by you, under XP, but latest youtube-dl does support rutube.ru: youtube-dl -F "https://rutube.ru/video/102923ff44b823058b195734393ab6e4/" => [rutube] 102923ff44b823058b195734393ab6e4: Downloading video JSON [rutube] 102923ff44b823058b195734393ab6e4: Downloading options JSON [rutube] 102923ff44b823058b195734393ab6e4: Downloading f4m manifest [rutube] 102923ff44b823058b195734393ab6e4: Downloading f4m manifest [rutube] 102923ff44b823058b195734393ab6e4: Downloading f4m manifest [rutube] 102923ff44b823058b195734393ab6e4: Downloading m3u8 information [info] Available formats for 102923ff44b823058b195734393ab6e4: format code extension resolution note default-765 flv 768x432 765k m3u8-765 mp4 768x432 765k , avc1.42c01e, mp4a.40.2 default-1364 flv 1024x576 1364k m3u8-1364 mp4 1024x576 1364k , avc1.4d401f, mp4a.40.2 (best) That way, you can pipe the stream (or download it first) to a WinXP compatible media player ...

SwiftSearch is great, such a shame that it only works on NTFS formatted drives. I actually find the search on XP to be pretty good, as long as you switch all the dancing dog rubbish off, but I fully agree that Windows 10 search is absolutely awful! It's not great even when the drive is indexed, and if it isn't the search is so slow as to be unusable. I absolutely hate the way it presents the results too!

you're almost 14 years late my friend

You can always report this on the Nvidia driver forum (I'm only guessing because I don't have a desktop to test these GPUs on or an rtx 20xx or 30xx GPU). Customer is always king, as @xpclient rightly said somewhere on this forum

I found an easier way. Here's how to do it: 1. You will need Windows Vista installation media and Windows PE media that has diskpart and imagex (not DISM) (If you don't have it, you can use Windows Embedded POSReady 7 setup, which is what I used) 2. Boot the Windows PE or Windows Embedded POSReady 7 CD 3. When you get to setup, open command prompt 4. Type in these commands: diskpart sel disk 0 clean convert mbr cre par pri size=256 format quick fs=fat32 (You can also use NTFS, but FAT32 also works) assign letter w cre par pri size=32768 (or 32000) format quick fs=fat32 assign letter c exit 5. Now insert the Vista DVD or media, and type in these commands: imagex /apply D:\sources\install.wim 1 C: bcdboot C:\Windows /s W: bootsect /nt60 C: /force /mbr 6. Run Startup Repair. If you booted into Windows PE, reboot into the Vista DVD. When it tells you to restart, restart. 7. As mentioned here, the boot process will be VERY long. During the second stage it will give you an error. Open CMD by Shift+10, go to HKLM/System/Setup, change the CMDLine to cmd.exe, and change all values to 0. Then go back to the Command Prompt, and type in these commands: cd oobe msoobe 8. After the oobe has completed, it should close. Go back to the command prompt and type in taskmgr. 9. Go to Processes and kill "winlogon.exe". 10. You should now have Vista fully functioning on FAT32. I guess a good use for this would be to access a Vista partition from DOS or Windows 9x.

https://caniuse.com/webgl https://www.khronos.org/webgl/wiki/BlacklistsAndWhitelists If your GPU driver is blacklisted, you may try to force-enable webgl in the browser by toggling webgl.force-enabled;false and restarting the browser (depending on actual GPU, this may work or not, worst case scenario: the browser crashes upon launch - you'd have to restore that pref back to false by editing the prefs.js file in your profile...). It is needed by the mapbox API they're employing for displaying "Server Location"; as for actual deprecation, the Wikipedia entry for it is unclear about this; .. If you mean WebGL 1.0, well yes, this has been superseded by WebGL 2.0, but the latter is still being maintained, I think: https://www.khronos.org/news/tags/tag/webgl But then again, I'm not a gamer myself, so perhaps within the context of video games, the WebGL technology has been surpassed by newer APIs... That doesn't mean it's dead for simpler graphics tasks within a browser,,,

Well, Windows search sucked (and sucked big) since what? Windows XP? Depending on what you need, either Everything: https://www.voidtools.com/ or Swiftsearch: http://reboot.pro/topic/18855-windows-file-search-utility-that-is-fast/ https://sourceforge.net/projects/swiftsearch/ are more than advised, needed . jaclaz

I'm too late! Only now I came to know about R.Loew's amazing work towards making Windows 9x usable even now. What a legend he was!!! Very saddening news. RIP R.Loew . You will be gone but NEVER forgotten

That's not happening on my Win7 SP1 (Pro, non-N) test VM, but that's maybe due to having a different edition.

... Wrong link there (to the test site itself!) Should've been: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=25830&p=205294 BTW, many thanks for raising this "there" (as you seem to be one of the very few that can coexist in both "camps" , without being given the "enemy agent" (and other, more derogatory) "accolade" by you know who... As the case is, @JustOff once more pinpointed correctly and swiftly the culprit ; too bad Moonchild (instigated by you know who) recently ostracised him from the core of the MCP devs... IMHO, he was the only one really sane person among them...

Thank you! I finally managed to dualboot them. Man you saved me.. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Could you also please lock the thread? since it may help someone too, but I don't need any more help.

You know why I can't rollback to earlier versions, scroll back. Also, btw, I DO understand English well but I have a god-awful 1366 by 768 TN panel on my main laptop. I don't use custom dark themes and also Dixel's customisations make it super hard to see the difference. I strained my eyes very much trying to see it. I thought you saw what @UCyborg said about the same. My issue is resolved now so let's stop arguing.

Now that you said that, I remember running 8.1 on some old 1.9GHz Dual Core AMD laptop, think it was like the TK-57 or something

windows 8.0 vanilla user here, no problems on ryzen 5 1600x, gtx 1060, seems super stable also for some reason ms supports 8.0 with the new edge chromium, so I use that browser as well

But didn't those kinds of fixes stop when mainstream support ended?

Actually sometimes they are not only security fixes. Windows 8.1 received nvme updates and usb-c reliability updates. They are important for new systems.

You can directly bypass this with a neat script. Here's all the details: https://www.csoonline.com/article/3190832/bypass-microsofts-update-block-for-windows-7-8-1-pcs-with-kaby-lake-ryzen.html And even if that script didn't exist, I'm gonna tell you right now, I've been forgoing Windows security updates for YEARS. Never had a single malware issue since... What... A decade ago? But having said that, I'm a home user. For anything enterprise at all, you should be using Linux, or if you can't do that, Windows 10 with all sec. updates. Also, running without sec. updates does require that you just be smart about what you download and install of course. Employ regular backups and don't click on rando links in emails.

Except you can install wufuc and continue using windows update (no microsoft catalog updates, no manual search)

Except CPU blocking due to some updates. Those don't affect Windows 8, while using Server 2012 patches.

It appears you missed the point in my previous post above... User Agent Switcher & Manager https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/user-agent-switcher-and-m/bhchdcejhohfmigjafbampogmaanbfkg Version 0.4.4 Updated: October 8 2020 => CRX3-package-only, that won't install in Chrome 49 OTOH, the one extension I suggested was last updated on September 6 2019 and will install!

Well back in 2013 I absolutely hated that os. It was weird for me at the time. Windows 8.1 improved the metro ui, added start button and for me at least improved my pc performance (especially ssd io). Telemetry can be removed, so that’s why I asked that very question. I absolutely don’t want to make anyone angry or anything, just being curious.

I seriously do not understand why they f****** did this. Just why?? I hate modern software companies nowadays. Everything is a f****** expensive subscription, new operating systems are pieces of junk trying to spy on you whilst looking ugly. Back to my point, why would virtualization software check if I had patched my uxtheme to sideload a new theme for example? Unbelievable! Their explanation:

Windows 8.1 does this as well. I really hate Windows 10 UI in general. I like aero, but I also like colorful borders that Windows 8.1 has. Windows 10 is just ugly.

FONT SETTINGS, as far as I understand them... Permissions to "choose" fonts or to "download" fonts are different things. And icon fonts are thing 3, since FF41... If "download" is forbidden, that still allows website authors to choose from already installed local fonts. "permissions.default.font" = 1 / 2 / 3 Same choices as with similar pref for downloading images, iframes etc: Download 1=all / 2=none / 3=from same domain If "choosing" is forbidden, that implies of course that download is forbidden too, only the user-font allowed. "browser.display.use_document_fonts" = 0 / 1 (use fonts specified by document author: no / yes) And ONLY younger browsers have a separate setting for "icon fonts"? "gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled" = true So this allows to download ICON fonts even if "choosing" fonts is otherwise forbidden "gfx.downloadable_fonts....." comes with a bunch of sub-prefs, specifying fallback waiting times, sanitizing, a separate setting for woff2-fonts etc..... (no clue, just as hints ;-)) And no idea if gfx-fonts also overrule pref-1, or vice-versa ...? While at it, in my prefs have also stored this comment note: "layout.css.font-loading-api.enabled__INFO" = "INFO: sends list of INSTALLED fonts / Avoid fingerprinting / Attention: reCaptcha?" Oh, what most users keep overlooking, at least in K-Meleon: In Page Display > Fonts there are a bunch of "Language Groups", each of them with independant fonts and minimum-size. The field showing "Western" is a dropdown menu, and the most important group is at the very bottom: Others (Unicode) For example Russian speakers may want to configure groups "Cyrillic" and "Central European" While still at it... If any users with very old browsers and systems (like 98) ever see this, and have constant trouble with broken characters: get an emoji font like well-known "Symbola" and set it in browser prefs for "cursive" and "ornate/fantasy" text, in groups for "Unicode" and "Western" etc. Howto: download from link below, unzip, drop the smaller ttf-file into c:/windows/fonts (Asian users may need the bigger file, but no clue) Symbola v12 was last TrueType: page: https://web.archive.org/web/20190502155955/http://users.teilar.gr/%7Eg1951d/ font: https://web.archive.org/web/20190608100449/http://users.teilar.gr/~g1951d/Symbola.zip Edit: Yet another TRACKING-trick! blocking fonts does NOT prevent GOOGLE from getting user data anyway, they use this trick: link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' Workaround: Block domains instead: fonts.googleapis.com / fonts.gstatic.com BUT: Google does not allow reducing their tracking by blocking fonts.googleapis - or otherwise they will block you from their RECAPTCHAS! At least that was once figured out in a forum. It's been awhile, cannot test myself, but nowadays things rarely get better, Only worse, worse, worse.... .

And mine: I have modest urges to play x64 games and look at Aero. Vista satisfies them.
