I was always told that NT4 was exceptionally tough. I'm not even sure if the approaches we use for 2000 and Vista are applicable here. I used wrappers written in C for NT4 over kernel32. But that is a very touchy subject because of the potential sources of "inspiration" for the wrapper code.

Shrink the partition, create a new FAT32 around 100MB in size. Mark this one active and copy all boot files from your F: to it. \Boot \EFI \bootmgr

Keyboard experiences: My best keyboard is some cheap stuff, labeled HP SK-2880. Silver and black. That brings one second on a record lap in Grand Prix 2, because the keys are going very softly down, allowing a staccato of hitting the "A" key. A keyboard called Fujitsu-Siemens from around 2000 is here, no model information. Originally beige, now yellow. Windows 98 symbols and the euro sign on the "E" and plenty of function keys at the top-right, for example "DOS", "Game", "Suspend" and the button with the coffee cup. That's a standard keyboard however and does not handle more than two keys, if you hit the wrong combinations. Still a good keyboard for typing, and reliable so far. I wouldn't be afraid of mechanical keyboards or getting another keyboard in general. Of course it takes some time to get used to it. The IBM Model M (also only 2 KRO) is a tough machine. All keyboards (that are used on top of a table) should be that heavy, that gives them stability. But I don't find it too difficult to get back from the mechanical switch keyboard to a rubber mat keyboard.

To be clear, what you are looking for are likely NKRO (No Keyboard Roll Over) keyboards, although likely a 6KRO would be enough. The issue is that this was a feature that isn't documented and it seems the only reason why there is a list of known KRO keyboard capabilities is because people have been testing various models themselves. https://member.keymusician.com/Help/KeyboardsSupportingMultipleKeys.html Also according to a post on stackexchange, the IBM Model M is 2KRO as opposed to the IBM Model F which is NKRO. https://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/6669/how-do-i-remove-the-limit-on-pc-keyboard-button-presses

Thanks! Instagram is basically a black box to me - no idea how it does what it does - but that's a clue. I too have uBO (legacy version 1.16.4.30), which is likely why the videos work for me. My guess is, uBO blocks some useless tracking script (after all, that's what it's for), and the blocked script happens to break Instagram videos on St 55 but not 52. Probably because it uses some Javascript feature that 52 supports but 55 doesn't (perhaps modules). In any case, installing uBO is a pretty easy fix, and would probably work in vanilla FF 52.9 also. I think to install uBO in FF 52.9, you have to turn off signature verification: in about:config, set xpinstall.signatures.required to false if you haven't done so already. FF 52.9 will show a "nag" in about:addons about the "unverified" add-on, but uBO still works perfectly.

OT: ...This isn't probably the right place to post this, but since I am/was most active in these threads, here comes my bad news: My cherished Toshiba laptop from 2009, that came with Vista OEM 32-bit originally, has died on me a little more than two hours ago... No previous signs of an impending doom, I was merely browsing (in 360EEv11) when the screen just started flickering on a frozen frame, just out of the blue, and I had to disconnect power to forcibly shut it down... After I put the power back in, the laptop simply won't start anymore, the screen remains permanently black, I can feel some disk activity by touching the laptop, but just that... Sadly, I'm completely clueless when it comes to H/W, can be anything from a dead integrated GPU, a dead CPU or something else (the HDD was in good condition, AFAIAA, replaced last in 2017... Of importance to me is 12 year-worth e-mails contained in Windows Mail, and a ton of other valuable things contained in the internal HDD (I don't have recent back-ups of...) This is me posting from sister's Win7 x64 laptop, via a portable Serpent 52 profile I carry on an external HDD... To add insult to injury, I painfully discovered that "portable" 360EE profiles do not carry with them saved cookies/account credentials for sites, unlike Mozilla browsers... Needless to say I feel very distressed now, this is still the Holidays period during an omicron exponential surge, PC repair shops are mostly closed/half-working... I'll probably have the laptop evaluated by a technician during the coming days, I don't hold high hopes for it to be brought back to life (and at what cost?), all I can hope for is that the HDD is OK and salvageable... This was just a "to let you know" post, 2022 apparently only brought havoc to me thus far... Yes, cr*p like this happens, but now that it has, I'm a total wreck inside... I wish all the best to you, despite...

The above were instructions for spoofing an "official" Basilisk version, which is a 64-bit app. As you can see I also spoofed Windows 8.1 (NT 6.3) as is my custom, although MCP should be OK with any Windows version from 7 (NT 6.1) on. It occurred to me, though, that MCP might try adding some JavaScript to their add-ons sites in order to foil XPers like most of us. If that happens, you may need to set a couple more prefs: general.oscpu.override;Windows 6.3; Win64; x64 general.platform.override;Win64 These spoof the same Windows version in a couple of old JavaScript functions. (The functions have been deprecated but Basilisk / Serpent still support them, so MCP might well use them.) Replace "6.3" with the Windows version of your choice (but at least 6.1) in both the user-agent and "OSCPU" overrides.

This will all end as usual , yet another tax or forced regulation on the shoulders of the Western European and/or Canadian , US , Australian and New Zealand customers/population. And we will pay for the whole planet , while the rest will pollute as usual , if not more . Why there's no discussion on what's going on with the waste in Asian countries or Russia, for example . Anyone ? ... silence ... Oh , excusez-moi , I forgot for a moment , nowadays it's just so "trendy" to bash the US and/or the West.

WinZip 14.5 is officially the last version of WinZip to support Windows 2000. It introduced the Ribbon interface, making it one of the few applications with the Ribbon to support Windows 2000.
