  1. When I sorted out the folder and then tried to install the font it said it was already installed for me too, so I guess it happened automatically when I copied the file to the folder. It was still good to have the full functionality of the folder back though! Here you go. seguiemj.ttf

  2. Dave, thank you very much for your generosity in sharing the 2019 "seguiemj.ttf" with us! I've saved a copy to my flash drive for personal use, and just in case anyone needs it.

  3. Yes, I realise that now! I misinterpreted what you said in the PS of your post earlier where you said "I disabled the AU Service". The service starts anyway even if set to 'manual' so it might as well be left on 'automatic', as you say.

  5. I second Bruninho. I ran into something similar back when checking out the Lynx web browser. The homepage had a small graphic icon "Viewable by any browser". After looking around it turned up this Campaign. The link provided by Bruninho is more progressive and Retro targeted. But retro business aside, its an example of people creating the web they want. Rather than just complaining about JS. What would be really cool is a resurgence of Hotline or things like it. There was a small moment when people were integrating homepages into things like gnutella. Fear of exposing your real IP and the explosion of piracy's immediate gratification gave rise to bittorrent/filelockers and server based social networking. Now some really cool networks are gone or held up by dedicated grey beards, aided by a curious few. Modern devices all but put the final nails in the coffin. B.B.S. is dead, long live B.B.S. But back to Web 1.0, it would mostly support even dos webbrowsers. You could likely even use Amiga and a couple of 8bit systems, to view some content.

  6. Hi @Dave-H, I don't know whether you've already tried my fix or not, but just to clarify it, my recommended fix is meant to solve the disappearance of AU notification shield in systray. In my system the fix did its job perfectly. AU notification shield didn't disappear anymore. Additionally I had the hope it would solve the error message with Event ID 16 too. But that does not seem to be the case. It had disappeared in my log, but after two days it came back as in yours. After a bit deeper examination the reason for this error message is totally clear. Case 1: System is set to "No proxy". AU tries to download a file called wuident.cab from link https://fe2.update.microsoft.com/v11/3/win7sp1/windowsupdate/selfupdate/wuident.cab. But without ProxHTTPSProxy or HTTPSProxy, no chance. This leads to the error 0x80072efe and, after two days of trying, to Event ID 16. Case 2: System is set to use ProxHTTPSProxy or HTTPSProxy "system-wide". Now AU is able to download file wuident.cab, but due to its invalid signature AU can't verify this file which leads to the error 0x80096010 and, after two days of trying, to another Event ID. BTW It would be the wrong version anyway. Unfortunately the address of a matching version is http://download.windowsupdate.com/v11/3/legacy/windowsupdate/selfupdate/wuident.cab or http://www.update.microsoft.com/v11/3/legacy/windowsupdate/selfupdate/wuident.cab We, you and me, are using the method of patch in combination with one of our proxies. The patch in combination with all additional steps restores successfully access to MU web site using IE8. But the creator of this patch didn't take account of AU's malfunction. Case 3: Same proxy settings as in case 2. Due to download of wrong file version I modified the patch i.e. I changed some registry keys the patch had created. After these changes, AU could download and verify wuident.cab successfully, but wasn't able to download the next file, called wsus3setup.cab. Microsoft had deleted the file on the server which AU wanted to download from, therefore it leads to error 0x80190194. Conclusion: Either the patch will be modified to restore AU's functionality in online searching, or AU will only be able to find updates offline after a successful and cached search of MU. Provided that we use patch plus proxy method, AU notification pop-up shield can only remind us to download and install the updates MU has found in its search before. If you want to get rid of these errors in your system event log in any case, you have to turn off Automatic Updates in AU applet located in control panel. And one thing we know for a long time: What shall AU still find today? In a fully updated system, simply nothing. In other systems where updates are still missing, AU's notification pop-up shield can be taken as a reminder. And installation of updates by using AU is working fine as usual. Kind regards, AstroSkipper PS: In logical consequence, I turned off AU (via applet in control panel) in my fully updated system, as I used to do it before. I don't need AU trying to download a wrong file in background without any success. So bye, bye AU!

  7. Well, you have a brand new computer compared to mine... I'm running Mp68 on a Thinkpad A31 from 2002 and Feodors beta is already running almost as smooth as AF360_11. --- Try to run it as a single process: about:config > browser.tabs.remote.autostart > false. "Windows XP Due to stability issues Windows XP is currently not leveraging e10s on release channel. XP and Vista will move out to Extended Support Release (ESR) 45 when 45 merges to release (bug 1303827). As such there are no plans to support e10s for XP/Vista in the future." https://wiki.mozilla.org/Electrolysis#Windows_XP OR play around with dom.ipc.processCount. Default value is 8, try 0, 1 or 2. It's a good idea to have a look at "Issues" once a day. I found the above there. https://github.com/Feodor2/Mypal68/issues

  8. So far, the answer has been that the end-user will have to do this manually for each and every web site that said end-user wishes to restore functionality. The best example thus far has been one by @UCyborg here -- https://msfn.org/board/topic/183484-polyfill-whats-all-this-then/?do=findComment&comment=1216216 I have personally not been able to repeat this on an American Water web site but I haven't fully given up yet. It is not a trivial process, the average end-user will not have the patience to do this manual process for every web site they encounter. I also am attempting via chromefill whereas UCyborg was successful only via palefill. (I have not been able to get American Water to work with non-polyfill NM28 with palefill.) UCyborg's process is fairly easy to follow, once you narrow down the problematic script (his test site only has two, American Water's test site has over 200 scripts). He narrowed the "??" issue down to this script -- https://docs.microsoft.com/_themes/docs.theme/master/en-us/_themes/scripts/d48a1159.index-docs.js If you open that script and paste the contents into Notepad++ and do a search for "??" (without the quotes), you will find 34 hits. Now open this web site ( https://babeljs.io/repl ) and paste the script contents into the left pane (center pane if you include the far left settings pane, keep all of them at their defaults) of Babel. Give it a few seconds and the translated script will appear in the right column. Copy and paste the right column into a new tab in Notepad++. Now do a search for "??" (without the quotes) for the new script - you will now have 0 hits. So "all of that" was required in order to "magically" convert the polyfill "??" to something that will work in a non-polyfill web browser. But you still need to add palefill or chromefill extension depending on Mozilla or Chromium based browser. And you still need Proxomitron Reborn to have your web browser replace the original script with the converted script. Problem there is going to be this - very few folks here at MSFN seem to be interested in Proxomitron Reborn (I've used it since 2004 (the original, the Reborn is not that old) and I still don't fully understand "everything" that it is capable of doing!).

  9. The title says it all. Currently if you have pinned apps, they will only show in the main monitor taskbar. Would be nice to have an option where you could check to have your pinned icons on all taskbars.
