StartAllBack 3.5.5

I'm a bit late to the announcement but this is extremely sad news for me. I credit Den a lot for me becoming a moderator here on MSFN. I still remember he offered the position to me to which I humbly and graciously accepted it. We had some good discussions back and forth and because he was originally into Windows 98 like I was, we easily found common ground that way. Den was a very kind, cordial, and courteous person. When I first heard he was diagnosed with cancer, I was deeply saddened. I lost both my grandparents to cancer and my mother is a cancer survivor, so I don't like cancer very much to say the least. As optimistic as he seemed to be about keeping the cancer at bay, I was really hoping he'd return one day like nothing ever happened. But he'd go months without any sort of an update and that was very worrying to me. Now the worst has happened, but he is at peace now and pain-free, which is the best thing out of a horrible situation like this. Rest in Peace buddy, until we meet again!

Sad news for everyone here at MSFN. One of our forum supervisors, Dencorso, passed away on October 24th, after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Apparently he was still upbeat and optimistic about the future a few weeks before he passed. My memories of Den go back quite a few years. He was incredibly helpful to me with technical problems, which is what this board is all about of course, initially mainly with Windows 98, and latterly with Windows XP. He was immensely supportive too when I first became a moderator here, something I will always be grateful for. He was definitely one of the good guys, and will be sorely missed here. Please add your memories here of working with Den. Thanks, Dave.

If you run DC Browser from desktop shortcut, right click on it and select Properties, add --ignore-certificate-errors at the end in the Target textbox in the Properties Dialog box.

The UpdatePacks are being completely rebuilt in the XP2ESD project because I found a bug in the UpdatePacks and George is building after 1.6.3 release. and some updates are missing

@j7n @UCyborg @VistaLover If you're interested guys, I also found out the minimum Firefox non-ESR version required to render the discourse-based site "boards.straightdope.com". The minimum Firefox non-ESR version required for it to load fully is 89.0.

Apparently I do have something going on then. Even with Humming Owl 360 V13 but not V12 for some reason and I've removed V9 and V11 and no longer use them.

thanks @roytam1 for all you do for this community without you windows xp-vista would be completely unusable your the best!-legacyfan (and merry christmas)

Brief Update. So the search for updates in WUv4 works thanks @WinFX again only unfortunately results.asp is missing because it was not archived properly. It redirects to splash.asp?page=3. That means we can't view or install the updates. I think that we will find a solution for this problem. The Update Catalog is the next project. Here some screenshots:

Hi, Roy ... hope all is well. Are you still planning to update FF 45.9? That last one I have is 45.9.34-20220924 I still find it useful.

Thank you very much and it worked :)

Add --disable-infobars into DC Browser desktop shortcut's Target field, and it will disappear.

Thank you again. Well ... it doesn't seem to like it as I have that nag in red and now sites that were secure at all not insecure (arroding to the browser becase of that flag, of course)

NP Did it work for you? You don't receive the nag screen anymore?

Thank you, Mina

No, you seem to request a different username whenever you change whatever your focus is. There have already been at least 3 changes in this thread not counting requests that were denied.

Is that website of "https"? I found this question long time ago ,so I updated the certificate, then I have never found this tip

@legacyfan! And one more for you: wsusoffline updates for eol windows: https://archive.org/details/wsusoffline-eol-windows Greetings from Germany, AstroSkipper

It still effects the content below the header, though I can't tell how the header is done exactly to be able to influence it further.

WinNTSetup 5.3 Beta 3 - WinCopy: fixed boot files creation in some cases - WinCopy: Volume selection shows needed size - WinCopy: temporary shrink option - WinCopy: added "-shrink" And -"MergeIDE" command line switches - WinCopy: fixed CLI version wrongly reports error - Unattend: Win7-11-Select.xml disables 42 days password expire - MinWin: some fixes for Windows 11 explorer - MinWin: fixed MUI files other than *.mui were removed - MinWin: fixed bootmenu fonts

He was so optimistic that I was fully expecting him to rejoin the forum like nothing ever happened.

I am so sad. He was a great person. I knew him since my first days on MSFN, many, many years ago, and besides the public interactions on the board we had a lot of correspondence via PM's, both on computing and on a whole range of different topics, from cinema and TV to art and linguistics (he could read and understand very well Italian and I can understand a very little Portuguese, we had a common interest in Latin - as root of both languages - and we often exchanged opinions on these and many other things), I considered him a friend. I will greatly miss him and our exchanges. Besides his great work in helping and advising other people on technical matters, he was always polite and just (as a moderator), while often managing to keep a veil of humour in his posts. He told me about his illness, describing it as a "a quite mean cancer", from the tone of his latest messages he was fighting fiercely against it, and was hoping to defeat it only one month before, at the end of september. May he R.I.P. jaclaz

Sorry, this was originally put into the 'announcements' section, where apparently it cannot be replied to. Please do add replies now. Thanks, Dave.

We have an entire sub-forum for this already https://msfn.org/board/forum/24-windows-desktops-screenshots/

] Oh, well of course this is without Mina's solution and I of course proceed as I know ghacks is fine.

"Likes" or "upvotes" are the signal of appreciation that someone can give to posters, so they are useful, I think..

You're welcome. Enjoy.

I think (but do not quote me on this) that it may work, though I don't see the actual scope of this replacing of the processor, the notebook has probably a Core i3 or i5, there shouldn't be much difference in speed/performance replacing the original processor with a Pentium 6100, they seem very similar, at least on this comparison: https://technical.city/en/cpu/Core-i3-380M-vs-Pentium-P6100 Maybe if it has a Celeron, there would be some improvement, but I doubt it will be much, if any: https://technical.city/en/cpu/Celeron-P4600-vs-Pentium-P6100 Also the Fujitsu BIOS might be locked to the default processor installed in factory, clock speed of the P6100 seem to be same as the Celeron, but different from i3 and i5. IMHO all in all such an upgrade (which seems more like a same-level-grade) could be risky/problematic (if possible at all) without bearing any noticeable advantage. jaclaz

Microsoft made some non-public hotfixes for Windows. Here are some of them (2000 / XP) https://twilczynski.com/windows/updates/

That laptop model is declared compatible with XP: https://www.levnapc.cz/ProductsFiles/FS-Lifebook-S710-technicke-specifikace-en.pdf Is the question only related to the new processor? In itself the processor seems compatible with XP.: https://www.game-debate.com/hardware/index.php?gid=719&graphics=HD Pentium P6100 So the question is if specifically you can replace that specific processor on the specific laptop? jaclaz

Try installing the palefill extension https://github.com/martok/palefill/releases (direct link) OR enable dom.webcomponents.enabled (or dom.webcomponents.customelements.enabled) option in about:config. YouTube may break, however, but you can do it in a separate browser.

@Taiga-chan many thanks for the follow up and feedback. It appears I have a bit of catching up to do and learning. for the time being I'll be doing some reading. I've used nlite for xp for years, never actually tried RVMI. I will certainly give it my attention. * Got the batch files: http://www.mediafire.com/file/tch7bfccylk9nqi/Config_XP-64_29Dec19.7z/file

RDP is only used in actual installations. Windows Media Player 11 addon, you can use nLite and RVMI for .NET and C++. RVMI lets you resolve filenames. Add this name after the _Addon file. If you don't add it, RVMI will not see the file. You can skip some methods if you already use addon.

Thanks @AstroSkipper! And @Taiga-chan for the help it much appriciated!

Hello @legacyfan!Truth be told, it's easy to find Windows XP Professional SP3 32 Bit Update Packs for German Editions. But for English versions, there are a few sources, too. Here are some of them I found after a short research: Onepiece XP Post-SP3 AIO Update Pack FINAL: https://ryanvm.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6438 Windows XP Updates (WSUS Offline): https://archive.org/details/wsusoffline-wxp-enu_final Kind regards, AstroSkipper

I live close to coasts.

This is already "false" here by default. Does "captivedetect.canonicalURL" even work in that case? [Edit] Now I understand. See here. In Firefox the service is always enabled with no option in the GUI to disable it. Same for Basilisk. Has to be done via 'about:config'.

I notice that I missed his tweet about installation Java 8 on Windows XP five years ago. I wonder he had installed Java 8 on his Windows XP.

May He rest in peace of Heaven...

Many Internet forums now operate the extremely heavy, new generation "Discourse" engine. Old browsers including New Moon receive a read-only compatibility version, which is completely unusable. It may be "clean and modern" and completely crippled. The page extends below the screen, and there is no apparent way to scroll it at all. Disabling JavaScript doesn't do it. I just found out that appending ?_escaped_fragment_ (or &_escaped_fragment_ ) to the URL makes the page scrollable normally. It's perplexing why Discourse doesn't work like this by default. For example, https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-are-people-feeling-about-discourse/926428?_escaped_fragment_

That's totally normal, Windows Update V6 wasn't made to support Microsoft Windows Millenium Edition. The ActiveX is only for Windows NT (2000 SP3 and newer).

Out of curiosity, don't you have right now an account (xpfan1)? What would be the need to un-ban the HaytamFrh one? I mean it has a handful on posts, none of which of particular relevance, on a single thread, . And I believe you should re-read Rules, paying particular attention to #4.b: https://msfn.org/board/guidelines/ jaclaz

This whole thing is over-rated . One would need to start a flashing utility and remove write protections first. Besides , not lots of free sapce for "mallware" in that chip. http://www.datasheetcafe.com/gd25q20-datasheet-pdf/
