Hi guys.. Yeah, I've done both the Quick scan and Full scan (took 3 hours plus) with Remap ticked, and as you can see, Victoria couldn't find the errors. I tried in safe mode with everything disabled ... chkdsk and still won't remap. As @jaclaz said, its likely due to age and countless 'brown outs' and I'm not shocked. I think I'm gonna let this go really and just use it until it blows up. I have proper armor wear to protect if any Shrapnel comes from it and will wear protective goggles while using it. Seriously, I appreciate your advice and I'm not all that worried. To be honest, I'm more concerned about what I would even purchase going forward as I don't like what I see, but, hey, I guess (as I said) change is ahead whether I like it or not. Ugh at the thought. Long and windy road ahead; it would seem.

Hey there! I found an older laptop in my house, decided to boot it up and it still works. It has an Intel HD Graphics 5500 and a i3-5005U CPU, it has drivers for 7(x64), but not for Vista. Would there be any way I could get the GPU drivers to install&work on Vista? It also has a Realtek RTL8723BE. Thanks! EDIT: By the way, I was able to install Windows Vista, it's just that I need to get the drivers to work somehow, any help would be highly appreciated!

I am not sure that it's IE 11... I used the procedure described here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/update-to-enable-tls-1-1-and-tls-1-2-as-default-secure-protocols-in-winhttp-in-windows-c4bd73d2-31d7-761e-0178-11268bb10392

I had to grab a calculator just for curiosity. Firstly, HOLY CRAP, a postage stamp is 58 cents? When did that happen? I could have sworn we were only at 42 cents! So that postage stamp adds 3.6% to my $15.98 water bill. Just seems wasteful to me

They recently changed security requirements and TLS 1.2 is now required to be able to sign in and synchronize files. Windows 7 is fine with this after installing proper updates and modifying registry settings.

Must say you have a point.

Hello there.. Well, actually, its a bit of both thank you for the reminder ... sometimes I forget what I ate for dinner last night; but that's another story all together. Of course; I know to create a shortcut to chrome and add the switches, but as I stated, I still find some confusion between the ArcticFoxie and Humming Own builds. Whist one used the loader, the other doesn't and I was unsure that I could just use a shortcut in this instance. I understand some members are better at explaining things than others, so stating the obvious to somebody asking a (polite) question isn't (always) the best approach. But all is well and any advice about the browser in question or my mind/memory is also not a problem. Going forward: I'll try again to ask questions if I need to, unless I feel I'm being "roasted" by other members at my expense, hence I would (in turn) have ask questions on another forum - which would be absurd since this my home forum and I'm asking in re to browsers being discussed here. Please make NO mistake; I won't be made a fool on a public forum when asking appropriate questions in the correct sub-forum (as I did - general question) so please understand as I clearly stated; I'm new to this and am very grateful to those that have helped me here with computer issues. Enjoy your day/evening everyone. Sincerely Yours.. XPerceniol PS: I don't know as he has not given me permissions to say such, and I'll edit and remove if he prefers so. Thank you @Dixel very much for allowing me to test and use your build; as well :)

I was on Firefox for some time and I still sometimes use ver. 78 , but it's a total nightmare , it's not only not private , it's terribly inconvenient !

@Vistapocalypse Yes, it was an update that updated the kernel to 6003 , you're right ! It was yet another version of that bloody "supposed-to-fix" hasswell fake news nonsense. There are several of them. I was experimenting , even though it was a non-haswell machine. If you want to know the name , here goes . Stack update , there was no need for it . It installed just fine without it and didn't ask for it . May 14, 2019—KB4499149 (Monthly Rollup)

Hello , I have a damaged OS with this issue , just like you described ! I uninstalled a terrible update that gave me troubles , rebooted ... and now windows says "hal.dll is missing" , which is not true , because I have lots of them in the right locations (I compared with another Vista) , the only difference is the name of the folders where this file located (in winsxs folder, others are OK). It's not my main OS , it's for testing only , is this OS lost ? I'm just curios , thank you ! I tried to repair with the original disk , but it won't start the repair , it only suggests me to install Vista again in "emergency enabled" ?! mode or smth like that , I don't remember the exact name . The most important , it doesn't let me choose the repair option.

Same old arguments. Whatever the current version of Windows OS is, it's the best thing since sliced bread. Whatever the former version of Windows OS is, it's flawed, lacks security, puts user data at risk, blah, blah, blah. As if that were not true for ALL versions of Windows OS, including the most current. I view this as just another scare to coerce users to Windows 10; which is a horrible OS.
