StartAllBack 3.5.5

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

But I've this same Certificate Information, and my https is not crossed out, but gray in DCBrowser (and green in 360Chrome forks), "Connection is secure" is green... ignore your "not secure" saying, look to settings of DCBrowser. And 360Chrome are OK with this website?

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.

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:

So why this website is OK in my DCBrowser? "Connection is secure" - https not crossed out. Maybe look on your browser settings before implementing Mina's solution....

] 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..

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.

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

You know, and I don't mean to be off on a "soap box" on this, but I still DO believe given the chance people on the streets would like a shot to becoming a functional member of society rather than homelessness and fearing ones life on the wicked and brutal streets. I've seen a lot, but never got that bad because of luck and love from family, and that is something many are missing ... in fact. some go missing on the streets that "Trick" the wrong person and vanish without even known every day. Both girls and boys (even straight guys will "Trick") and nobody wakes up one day and decides 'I want to become a bum, a lush, and a junkie and a prostitute. Sure some get used to it and know nothing else, but they deserve a chance. Going over my long posting, I realized I made an error that might haven't been taken wrong. When I said more money for the state, that was error on my part, I mean, more money for that state to have to pay in and out and in the hospital over and over and people will give up. I've lived in a tiny camper for a few years and I was actually fine with that because a roof over head is still better than trying to survive to smoldering heat blistering cold. I never needed much and still don't and neither did my DD Father. All-in-all, I do hope this program works and is given a chance. While it may seem cruel to forcefully hospitalize people with mental illness, this might just be a 'saving grace' for some to find proper care and the chance at a life, because life on the street is not "living". Ok ... off the soap box. So, hope everyone is enjoying their day as best as can be. Going to prepare for bed soon and watch some mindless TV Sal

@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.

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

Getting later Intel graphics for the Intel HD 4000 working properly may be very tricky. If one gets it to work, that means any Intel graphics from Haswell and up will also work with Vista (Haswell graphics do work with Vista if you use the XP version, but you get no Aero interface. Kaby Lake and later may also work by simply grabbing the mods for them and installing away, but don't quote me on this), although you will still have the Haswell+ bugs, which won't resolve by simply installing the graphics driver (otherwise the person that got the XP Haswell driver to work under Vista would have seen all problems disappear). I also sent you a PM too!

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'.

First I want to say "Thanks!" @roytam1 for all these new builds released nearly every week and the permission to mirror them on my own website! Can't remember when I did that last time... Your work is really appreciated by all who are writing here and additionally a lot of silent users! And not to forget "Thanks!" to all supporters and contributors! Second Sorry for posting a bit late, I'm still worn out by SARS-CoV-2 - nothing really bad, I'm just some kind of exhausted/sluggish. Third The mirror of latest ArcticFox 40, BNavigator 0.9, Firefox 45ESR, IceApe 52, IceDove 52, K-Meleon 1.5.x/74/76, MailNews 52, New Moon 26.5/27/28, RetroZilla, RZ browser and Serpent 52/55 builds by @roytam1 has been updated -> soggi.org - tools. changelog: - added latest BNavigator 0.9 20221126 build - added latest IceApe 52 20221126 build - added latest IceDove 52 20221126 build - added latest K-Meleon 76 20221126 build - added latest MailNews 52 20221126 build - added latest New Moon 27 20221126 builds - added latest New Moon 28 20221126 builds - added latest Serpent 52 20221126 builds - added latest Serpent 55 20221126 builds To don't lose track of things I want to update too someday... todo: - add various flash player versions - add FlashFix for WinXP - add VLC 2.2.8 (WinXP non-SSE2) - add polyfill addons ------------------------------------------- I don't have this backspace problem myself, just thought that this input may help someone!? I have this "YT problem" too, but thought it is related to latest hot s*** YT uses to render the page. But nevertheless YT still works...yeah it's extremely slow, I know. After doing a reconnect to my ISP I got an IP from a completely different IP range and could connect to the former FTP with WinSCP, the ladder still fails. So my IP (range) was the problem, it just has been blocked. This FTP is very old, has a lot of important files and I don't know how long it will be available in the future. So I begun to mirror the two directories which are important to me (/pub/Hardware/stuff/ and /pub/Hardware/vendor/) - still not finished (11.7 GiB until now), if I get 50 kb/s I can be really happy (the FTP is the slow part, not my internet connection). But nevertheless: Thank you, I really appreciate your efforts! BTW Welcome back! BTW2 I would recommend WinSCP instead of FileZilla. The latest version (portable) still works under WinXP and up - you can also install WinSCP 5.15.9 (XP) / 5.17.5 (Vista) and replace the executable with the one from the latest portable version (actually 5.21.6). kind regards soggi

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...

Wow, calm down. V4 ist not completely restored, so there's no guide for it. If we can't restore the new inventory system in V3.1, I'll do a guide. But please be patient, this take a long moment to restore.

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).

The grub4dos (normal and for UEFI) is available already compiled on its github page: https://github.com/chenall/grub4dos/releases There are usually no issues in having a "base VHD" with the OS and another attached VHD with all the programs (though not all "portable" programs are really-really fully portable) As a side note there is a relatively new feature of grub4dos (for UEFI) that allows using differential VHD's, that probably would be what you want to achieve, a "base", immutable, OS (in a VHD) and everything else on a "child" VHD. But I believe you are wanting too much all together, IMHO you should start with a simple - surely working - approach first, to get the hang of tools and methods, try this thingy by Wimb: http://reboot.pro/index.php?showtopic=22621 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/
