I added WerUnregisterRuntimeExceptionModule and got Firefox 106 running. So it should not be too long.

It's true. I'm just waiting. Retro computers. almost no hope I know in the end they probably didn't care about it. Sorry if you misunderstood. The ending was a painful sorrow.

1. I have a small Win98 device, that was built without a clock battery. It does have a RTC, but modding a battery addition isn't straight forward. 2. This same device, thus far, can only boot Windows as a live memory disk. So I make portable applications for it. Recently this included a custom codec pack. I can save the disk image after installing programs to another "physical" drive. So I don't have to use portable applications. But I am really starting to like running Windows this way. Maybe its just play? I was hunting the web for something unrelated, and ended up on Horst Schaeffer's Site. I've seen alternatives, for both of these, a hand full of times. But thought I'd share them, this time around. His "Timesync" can update the Windows clock, over the Internet. The /auto switch does so without loading the interface. Good for syncing at boot. And "Inifile" is for working with.... .ini files. It adds and remove entries, or gets and outputs an entry. Certainly, something like this could be helpful in making a portable codec pack (SYSTEM.INI/[drivers32]). Maybe it seems simple and silly, but I love that the codecs are now portable. Inifile only does one entry at a time. So, it could be a little quicker. It'll work until I write my own. He has a good chuck of software on his site. I noticed another tool for adding dialog boxes to batch. They look like the kinda tools you write, because you were learning to add these functions to some larger program(s). I ended up swiping a copy of everything, for my own toolbox.

Great News about Windows Update v5 Windows Update v5 works since June, but at a limited level, only express search could be done and if it was custom only critical updates could be installed. But that's over! Now any WUv5 user can install updates of all kinds, be they critical, software, hardware, and even hidden! Also you can see the description of them! You can download WUv 5 with its corrections to date here: Download Now!

Windows Error Reporting component, right on the mark, that's what Wer means in the function name beginning.

From what I Googled, this appears to be related to error dialogs or similar.

... Hello? Where have you been? ... It's Q4 of 2022 we're into, this isn't any news ... FWIW, the overwhelming majority of sites, with social media services being the top offenders , will favour the latest Google Chrome over the rest browser choices, especially when non-mainstream ... I bet you UXP is beyond 95% of web developers/admins' radars, they have no intention of (consciously) supporting retro-computing communities that run OSes and browsers major vendors (read M$, Apple, Google) don't endorse... Who from? Web Compatibility issues in UXP-based browsers are cropping up like weeds as we speak... With WebComponents/CustomElements and Regex Named Capturing Groups (just two off the top of my head ) NOT (yet?) implemented (fully) in UXP, more sites will be in need of "further fixes", fixes which'll have to come from "upstream", noone can tell when ... [apologies if I sound a tad "ranty", sadly it's a grip with (current) reality ... ]

Maybe try from above link the fix mentioned by Sajadi: Can't test it for you, because I don't want to use Facebook.

A lot, but not all emoji fonts are displayed thanks to the "Twemoji Mozilla" font, that is included in New Moon. A very good emoji font is "Noto Color Emoji", but that doesn't work on Windows XP...

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean here... From the screenshot above, it appears your font problem is solved now.

@UCyborg said: Inspecting that "Omegaverse" part, it appears to be the Cambria Math font. Try installing the Cambria fonts I uploaded to Dropbox: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/juzxhm4j6gs3ro2/Cambria.zip

Ok so I got around this by installing an old version of speedtest I found online (it’s version 1.0.14.1 - the second ever speedtest desktop version released in july 2017). What happened was, the installer this time prompted to install Microsoft visual c++ 2015 (newer speedtest installers never asked). And it worked! But whether newer versions of speedtest will work now since visual c++ is installed, idk honestly because I haven’t tested. Nevertheless, I’m glad I have a working app now.

Looks like Firefox 105 doew not work. It installs, but opening it causes it to complain about WerUnregisterRuntimeExceptionModule not being located in KERNEL32.dll. This is on July 2022 update. I'm finally in! I had to scour around for a Firefox older than 105. I went with Firefox 101, which installs and opens as intended with no issues. Idk what version of Firefox was the first to introduce needing WerUnregisterRuntimeExceptionModule in Kernel32.dll, but I know Firefox 105 has it while Firerfox 101 does not. So for now, no Firefox 105 until @win32 can figure something out.
