Hi After several tests, the last version of Newmoon 27 that works without problem is this one: "palemoon-27.10.0.win32-git-20211002-2131e4376-xpmod.7z" All the following have a problem with the Mozjs.dll module. just test with the msfn.org website ...

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/cybercriminal-sells-tool-to-hide-malware-in-amd-nvidia-gpus/ In short someone was selling exploit to Windows that allowed store hidden Malware into GPU Vram on hacker forums and few weeks later that person stated exploit had been sold. On august 29 2021 Vx underground released tweet stating that malicious code enables binary execution by the GPU in its memory space and that would demonstrate it soon. That way antiviruses would not be able detect it while executing. Exploit works on any Opencl 2.0 compatible gpu But I do have some questions from that. RAM data is lot on power loss so where does file live outside it? It must have payload somewhere in the hard drive or write itself to uefi other chip. Writing to hard drive means virus can be detected on drive using advanced methods such as rootkit scanners and even if it erases itself from hdd at boot and write itself back on shutdown I can permantelty get rid of it by unplugging computer while it is on causing it disappear from VRAM. Also depending side of malware VRAM may not be enough to it (Nvidia Riva TNT to the rescue) or it may cause reduced amount of free vram or malware may crash if run vram intensive application. If it writes itself to flash it may not work properly or it can brick system. I would not loose sleep over that. It is concern, but normal security practises should keep safe from it. I mostly assume that could be used to exploit servers with gpus that are running 24/7

Hey, guys. I know I've been away for a really long time now, and I apologize for that. UniExtract development and support unfortunately just hasn't been a high priority for the past couple of years, and while I don't consider that much of an excuse, it is the truth. So, I hope you can understand, if not forgive, the long absence. The reason I'm posting tonight, however, is to let you know that I'm trying to push out an update for UniExtract. This will be a maintenance release, with two primary goals: Update helper binaries to support newer file format versions (7-zip, innounp, etc.) Fix any major or oft-encountered bugs A third consideration is actually getting it to work correctly with recent versions of AutoIt, since a lot has changed there as well since I last updated UniExtract. I'm currently working on the AutoIt bits, and hope to have that plus the binary updates done this weekend. What I'm asking from you is to please provide feedback regarding bugs. I know there are many bug reports in the forum, but I have a limited amount of time available for this and I really want to use this opportunity to push out a new release. I'd greatly appreciate any assistance in filtering this information down to the key issues, such as crashes, compatibility issues, etc. Windows 7-specific bug reports also welcome. Thanks. I'll update this post thread once I've made some more progress.

I have been waiting this day whole year. Windows XP turns in to 20 years old today. US launch was in 24.10.2021. Here video from it launch event https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KgOgjdY830 20 years really flew. XP was truly amazing piece of technogy and is still used thanks to MSFN. Today I will be only using Windows XP to celebrate it. Maybe everyone should share some when started using XP, how liked from it and if is still using and do you have plan use it on future Also funny note that XP is now old enough to legally buy strong alcohol drinks here

thats kind of new javascript syntax.

it doesn't crash here, besides slow.

In France we have separated bathrooms and toilets , at least in the old houses . I hate when it's all in one place .

I wonder how script and element blocking will affect to that. I block everything by default for safety reasons. As for fingerprinting feels whole HTTP (and HTTPS) is designed it on mind. User agent is good example. There is never use case to it. It is only used to part of fingerprinting, block you from accessing sites that are done by soydevs and other. Only real reason would be to use it detect what platform you try download program for but hey if you are dumb enough to choose from dropdown menu why are you downloading stuff to begin with? I guess I go to gopher or gemini protocols for good

Disgusted. Just got out of bathroom after pooping. I cannot put into words how much I hate dealing with this crap.

@alacran Thanks for reporting. About ESD and WinPE problems I need more information. He can post on reboot I'll watch this topic. WinNTSetup 5.0.3 - run ScanFiles.cmd if exist - Mica titlebar is default again on Win11 Dark Mode - fixed right-click on unattend label not open editor - fixed iso source mru selection problems - fixed wimboot:wimcopy exitcode not set

I've never once, ever, went to a search engine to research something and open up dozens upon dozens of informative results, research links leading to more research links, all very informative, never once have I ever landed on anything called "Discord". Reddit, yes. Even MSFN, yes. But never once has a search engine landed me on "Discord". So yeah, dead serious, never heard of it. Text/talk via voice and post gifs -- sounds like Snapchat or Instagram - if you don't mind the rib-jab, that sounds like the targeted audience is pre-teen and teen without the ability to focus on a topic and read any sentence with more than six words, throw some punctuation marks in there and you've totally lost them

such hex sequence is unable to be found in mozjs.dll in palemoon-27.10.0.win32-git-20211023-06f122f42-xpmod.7z. did you replace all DLLs correctly?

Hi Well, some users didn't understand the difficulty of the last Newmoon 27 . There is a problem with the latest versions of Newmoon 27 and Arcticfox. The problem takes place only on a number of website, for example: msfn.org. On most websites, there is no problem. the crash problem exists on the last 3 versions of newmoon 27 (REGULAR,SSE and IA) I am running x86 xp sp2 with an Intel Pentium 4 SSE 2 at 3GHz. Xperceniol please test with XP and msfn.org and not with " arcticfox-27.11.0.win32-git-20211012.7z " on Windows 10, as you present it under deviceinfo.me... The previous version of Arcticfox compiled by Roytam1 " arcticfox-27.11.0.win32-git-20210130.7z " does not have this crashing problem. Obviously, a script used by "msfn.org" is not compatible with the "mozjs.dll" module from newmoon 27.10 of 2021/10/23 and Arcticfox of 2021/10/12 under xp . mozjs.dll is THE problem

Generally, this would help sync the clock between operating systems unless there's something specific about that distro.

You seem to be new here so welcome. Seems you made same decision as I did. Linux and other Unix like are path outside XP. yes. I have not found any good alternative to XP. Latest handbrake to XP fails to render lot of stuff.

Ahhh ... Natural, very nice; just be yourself. Take me or leave me - I'm a "character" no argument there =P I'm feeling: Excited. (My fav holiday Halloween is close) Side note: I've been away too long and need to do some serious 'catch up' here it seems. Right now, I'm too exhausted.

Agreed! I'll be sticking with xp so long as possible - hopefully my 2 clunkers will hang in there for a while longer.

it seems that you're using regular build on SSE-only processor

The worst thing about Newmoon 27 is its extremely old JavaScript engine. Newmoon 28 or any other UXP-based browser would probably perform better in this regard.

Well for me it is freedom of OS choice. And who is more stupid? Person who uses all latest products because newer must always mean better and all knowledge is based off what companies tell them or person who uses products they like older or newer and has done their own research for using equipment they like. When I said I am using Nokia 6110 from 1997 for phone and and got E90 as PDA I was not kidding. 6110 is sitting on desktop stand and e90 is syncing. I was able to tweak symbian accept modern SHA2 certificates so it can access email and other things (though limited to tls 1.0). There is community effort to keep any dead platform alive. I can understand someone using newer or latest Windows or latest smartphone, I got both on workplace. I do not care what someone likes until they start shove stuff down my throat insisting everyone use it and cannot respond any critic other than you are just <competiting company here> shill or stupid. Many of my friends run Windows 10 or 11 and they are fine with me running XP and I am fine for them running what they prefer. My friends actually respect my deciation of using what I like despite age of os/equipment. I have had multiboot with Ubuntu 9.10, Vista, Windows 98, DOS 6.22, NT4, Windows 2000 and XP on same machine. That was actually painful to do but got experience from dual or higher booting. Just running two different Windows versions is super easy. Give both them own partitions first install older one then newer one and newer one bootloader will see other Windows installed. I recommend hardening your browser. Disable webassembly, webrtc, install Umatrix and set it block all by default. It takes time to learn use Umatrix but it is very powerful tool for security. I use noscript as backup in case Umatrix would have exploit or wise versa I am young enough to keep uphill battle going. I have moved to penguin on some things like banking (actually did long time ago already) since Linux got less useless stuff that could result to security issues. For me Windows 8+ is big no no

Ah wow, well first of all, thank you for the encouragment about us people here using XP, while most other people on other forums and stuff would be pretty not so nice about it. Yea i realize i should serously consider the whole "dual boot" thing about having 1 part of the hard drive (or SSD) with XP, and the other part for Win 7 as backup. I've never tried that ever before in my life. And i dont mean the "virtual box" or virtual mode or whatever it is in win7. I know it would make sense cause then i'd be able to at least play some games i'd want. It does suck that i cant play a few types of games ...because they require "net framework 4.5" while XP only goes up to 4.0 And yea about the BSOD's thats basically my case. If one happens and i actually caused it myself, then i know im fine cause i at least know it's because I dont have a "dedicated video card" or some other reason like that. If it's something that randomly happens without me knowing what i did beforehand, then I may be in trouble. Which is extremely rare. Hmm i see, yea I understand about not needing anything really after SP3, but i'd still like to be on the "safe side" just in case. Even though i always make sure to run Firefox, IE or any other web browsers through the program "sandboxie".

That is million dollar question. I could understand optimisation, but why on purpose move codebase away from supporting it. I guess part of it got to deal with Microsoft similar to making softwares depend on IE for no good reason and contract that required use atleast one Microsoft Internet Exploder api exclusive feature when using Microsoft utilities. I really would not be surprised if MS would do something shady again to push them use it. And at the end who needs cloud features on complicer? Good example of wide support is retroarch. Not it can only be used down Windows 95, but it can run even on PLAYSTATION 2. That console never had as wide homebrew scene as original xbox but is still ported to obsolete platform released in year 2000. And other devs claim they cannot give support to OS last updated in 2008? We are not talking about new software we are talking old software dropping support

@VistaLover was actually answering a question of mine about a different matter. On Win 7, I noticed one more process than on Win XP, and that was his explanation. That "extra" process will only appear on St 55 on Win 7+. Setting browser.tabs.remote.separateFileUriProcess to true does apply to St 52 as well as 55 and Win XP as well as 7+; it creates an additional process when using file:// URLs to browse HTML on your local PC or network. Probably not a big deal for most folks.

For discontinuing support for older systems, the developers give the reason that they prefer to use new MSVC or C++17. Why are developers motivated to switch tools, when they, like all other programs, need to be learned again and put more demand on computers?

(The following applies to St 55. May be true of St 52 too, but I haven't tested.) I don't know if this was ever answered in this thread, but it seems to work with pref dom.max_script_run_time (default 20). Basically if a script runs for over 20 (or whatever other value you set) seconds, a yellow banner pops up at the top of the window, giving you the option to cancel the script. There's also an option to dismiss the banner, but it'll come back in another 20 seconds if the script still isn't finished. The banner will go away on its own anyway, if the script finishes. If dom.ipc.processHangMonitor is set to false, a dialog box pops up instead of the yellow banner, with the same options. There's also a "don't show this again" checkbox on the dialog box, but it doesn't seem to do anything; the dialog will come back even if you check the box. Doesn't seem to make sense, but that's been my experience. I find both true and false settings annoying, so instead I set dom.max_script_run_time to 0. This seems to be the only way to fully disable it and let long-running scripts finish without interruption. You could instead set it to a larger value, such as 120, instead of 0, depending on your patience for letting long-running scripts finish. Edit: Tried this with Serpent 52, and I had to set both dom.ipc.processHangMonitor to false and dom.max_script_run_time to 0 to let long-running scripts finish. Apparently the latter time limit only applies to the dialog box that comes up if the former is set to false, at least on Serpent 52.

Mu current is Volkswagen Beetle with that nasty bluish colour , which can be seen as the background at my profile near my house . That stupid flowers aren't mine, it's my neighbour's. I bought it this way (with that awful colour). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_Beetle I'm pretty tall , about 188cm. So this car is not comfortable for me . The goal is : Olympia - produced by the German Opel. Years of manufacturing from 1935 to 1937 (earlier 1.5L versions , different body , which I don't want), then with the newer body and engine from 1938 - 1940 and from 1947 to 1953. The car was first introduced in February 1935, and in that same year, was launched in the series. It was named "Olympia" to honour the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin. I think you're right . most are 1.5L , but the 4 door sedan is more like 1.8L , that's what I'm looking for. Like this one. It has a higher roof than my current car , so it would definitely be more convenient for my height. https://www.model-making.eu/zdjecia/9/6/4/3025_1-auto_downl.jpg

@ArcticFoxie , 13.5 seems to be faster with youtube ! You know Dixel always tells the truth , even if it's unpleasant ! In this case it is pleasant , so you've just got a compliment from Dixel , which is a big deal , because of my experience with modding , so congrats. Time spent with 13.5 was not in vain . But .... you ain't getting any likes , since you don't care about them , like you said yourself earlier.

I can , this "feature disabled" function summons qr code with this version and with mine too.

"But you can pay compensation payment that will magically make emissions disappear". Sorry I could not resist pulling that stupid comment I keep hearing how some "responsible" hypocrite consumertards can allow themself to fly while can criticise others for not caring environment . That emission compensation payment is biggest scam ever. Money is going straight into shareholder pockets. Online stores offers similar to shipping, but it wont mean your order is shipped more efficently, just means you are scammed. I actually walk more than I drive. I am not fastest runner but I am able to walk long distances. I have been walking even 40km walks with few short breaks. I spend way less time in front of my computer than outside when off from work. As for fuel it is important here to have fuel during winter to avoid having water condenstate inside fuel tank. Starting car with fuel water mix is not fun at all and whole thing feels crawling. Well there you see what I mean with walled garden. Those snippets are to keep you hooked with Goolag I mean Google. One funny example was when was looking liters to gallon conversion and one of snippets asked "is US gallon same as European gallon?" . Gallon is gallon no matter the place and that question makes no sense. Also google priorities CNN and some others to "prevent false information" when search for anything. Once google suggested Xbox one arcticle as second result from whatever media site it was when was searching with term "original xbox lpc header pinout". Those will twist search results and making things look wrong hiding whatever I actually search Well I still use Google products, mostly Gmail because email provider at the end wont mean anything. I choose any that allows me to use IMAP to send and recieve emails to avoid vendor lock in. Why I said wont mean anything? That is problem with email protocol, it is not secure, email provider can read stored mails and in and outgoing mails and even someone in middle in theory can read your emails since it is plaintext. There is no such as end to end encrypted email, sure there is PGP but it has it own flaws. Tutanota, Protonmail and others so called "encrypted zero access, forward secrecy, add here some fancy sounding words" emails uses deceptive advertising by telling you have end to end encrypted mail. Even if they use encryption key is done by js and stored to their server and even if they would not read it all it needs is single malicious javascript to decrypt it. Also those forces you to bloated electron client "to keep you safe". Do not use email for secure activities as it was never designed for it. And use email over IMAP for better security and privacy so wont have webmail vurneabilities and you wont need any JS. Some mobile core2duo boards had no AMT installed at all but mostly Pentium 4 478 socket era had no IME. I got P4P800 mainboard and it is very solid, lacks IME and other junk, got expansion slots and supports offically down to Windows 98. And if IME is so secure why NSA or other goverment agencies wont trust it?

With what I use (map editors , strategy gaming , hooking , browsers modding) , it needs low latency RAM , like CL7 and 1866MHZ , expensive RAM . I bought several sticks in 2013 and they still run fine with only 1.42V . Yeah , I know , very good chips. I game on Haswell and the whole platform seems very slow to me . The amount of RAM won't help. Besides , I can't use more than 3.8GB , because I'm on a 32-bit Vista. The other PC with Quad Xeon (for the internet usage) is able to use 32GB , but this amount is an overkill for my needs. So I decided to install 16GB.

You should keep separate profiles for 27 and 28, otherwise your shared profile will (probably) get corrupted because of the various changes between versions. Start "palemoon.exe -P" to bring up the profile manager.

... Serpent 52.9.0 on WinXP doesn't rely on LAV dlls for h264/aac decoding (i.e. playback); it uses a modified ffvpx third-party library; just make sure media.ffvpx.enabled is in its default value of true (FWIW, under Vista SP2 and higher, St52 defaults to using WMF system - OS - codecs; it can be configured to use ffvpx there, too, by disabling media.wmf.enabled; do note that ffvpx doesn't use H/W h264 decoding (Win7+), if your gfx card supports it, that is...). TL;DR: You should remove LAV dlls from within the Serpent 52 application directory! LAV dlls for NM27 (and related forks) were recently updated: https://o.rthost.win/palemoon/lav-dll-lite-3.4.9.7z https://o.rthost.win/palemoon/lav-dll-lite-ia32-3.4.9.7z https://o.rthost.win/palemoon/lav-dll-lite-noasm-3.4.9.7z Download the variant that is compatible with your CPU...

You'd need to: make a list of DLLs in DX9 redist that export DllRegisterServer and DllUnregisterServer functions (Process Hacker's PE Viewer is one of the tools that list exported functions), then look for them in registry on the system where they're installed at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX}\InProcServer32, export all relevant {XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX} keys that reference each DLL under InProcServer32 key, put results from multiple .reg files into a single .reg, in that file replicate all CLSID keys under ...\Classes\CLSID\... for 64-bit DLLs, paths to DLLs under InProcServer32 keys may be omitted, leaving only DLL name, if the idea is to put DLLs in game folder (mind the bitness), HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE instances may be replaced with HKEY_CURRENT_USER so references are put in current user's registry rather than system wide. Theoretically, you should have .reg script with essential references. Then you have to make another that just deletes the created keys. I never monitored DX redist installer with some kind of advanced uninstaller tool logging file and registry changes, so can't say if there's a possibility that anything more would be needed. Might want to only do the DLLs in CAB files which name contains "XAudio" for a start if only audio is the problem with the game.

Meant I use anti exploit software and then other methods combined with it in case one fails. Never put all eggs to one basket. Most of modern non phishing attacks are exploits or other methods. Multilayer security starting on network firewall level until os exploit shielding, using script blocks on browser. My security would be considered paranoia by many, but better safe than sorry. And I am not 360 degrees secured still. Someone who is motivated to attack could do it but normal scripts or mass spreaded exploits wont. Even if I would have fully libre thinkpad with qubes os someone would able break in if had all motivation and deciation

I also use advanced detection like network level packet scanning with os side blocking. In case exploit shield is bypassed and get infected still if it wants spy or remote access it must do it trough my network leaving trace to logs i wipe disk then use clean snapshot from hdd or fresh install if get. Also reset any network password since hacker may have had stored them to reaccess. I know some examples of that where hacker came back later using stolen passwords of network or vpn. Some rootkit may hide in mbr or file table so restoring or making new partition may not help

I use Process Hacker 2 to view CPU performance and things like RAM use and even when the CPU (i3 4th gen) is showing <10% Firefox still uses 840MB RAM which, as others have said, is normal. The problem is very obviously the RAM - 2GB has never been enough for a Windows 64bit OS, it is the bare minimum. 4GB is considered the norm and 8GB ideal for all uses. So upgrade the RAM and all your performance issues will likely disappear. Check your system's requirements/RAM type support and try to get ones which match your existing RAM modules as closely as possible, Used RAM, particularly DDR3, is still pretty cheap. I had a look on Ebay and I found very quickly one seller offering the same 4 x 2GB Corsair XMS DDR3 1600Hz modules I use for under £20/$28. That's roughly what I paid new 5 years ago for each 2GB module.
