Try to give more attention to your exams and less to the forums. Sometimes they are a good distraction, but only during 'down time'.

Hello, how's everyone for now? I feel less depressed nowadays.

Correct. The downloads from the first post already contain rebased chrome.dll.

Im planning on changing my username back to legacyfan on there (I put in a request to change it) sorry about that @VistaLover

That's good for you. I hope so.

Happy New Year! I hope you also have the same! Yeah, that Eclipse forum member is @legacyfan.

OT: Today, it has come to my attention (quite by accident, TBH ) that an Eclipse forums member has appropriated my MSFN forums "username" (VistaLover): https://board.eclipse.cx/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=239 Until one specifically visits that member's profile page, it isn't clear/evident (by simply reading posts of him[?]) that "I" have no affiliation whatsoever with that member there; of course, I don't claim any copyright over my MSFN username , just thought I'd make it crystal clear to those MSFN members happening to have an account at Eclipse (some sharing the exact screen name between the two) that I am not that member ... Apologies for the OT, hope you all have a great New Year...

I feel really good ive been spending the whole christmas break at home no going out and partying for me (and hope to be on here more from now on)

NOTICE

Yes, that's what I already planned for.

Yes, I have exams beginning January 15 until January 25.

But WHY depressed, Sun shines for all... a little breeze...

I Love apple cider but no booze in it. For some reason I'm ok with that and no triggers to go on a bender.

Le cidre... I prefer cider, it puts me in a very good mood!

Hello, happy new year @Cocodile!

Happy New Year to you too, @Cocodile, good health before all!

Fellas, hello and Happy New Year ! This is so funny here ! I just laughed my {redacted object} off, when reading some of the comments !!!

The Chrome version 110 will come out in February, and Chromium-based browsers and applications will base themselves off 110 starting from then. Right now it is still somewhat obscure. Opening a file and checking its version information would be slower than what GetVersionEx does, which is to make a call to another function which accesses a data structure located in memory. But Chromium already did both and still does now. I think the big difference is that some Windows 8+ specific code paths are still being skipped in Opera.

I'm sorry, I have Zero interest in windwos 7/8/9/10/etc. 99.99% of my posts are Vista related, rather easy to notice.

Hello @Anbima, look in the first post of this topic, here you have the two links to download 360Chrome v13.5 1030 buid with rebased chrome.dll, please.

Basically the board got taken down, the hoster didn't want to host it anymore. I later got a free server, however nobody knew how to set it up so it remained down. I finally got the basics working in late October and it took a bit of fiddling with configs to get it fully working.

@legacyfan No, I don't think latest version of CCleaner works on Vista without ExKernel, dependencies for latest CCleaner version are: USER32.DLL (decided to write the missing functions here, as I selected KERNEL32.DLL in the above screenshot): QueryDisplayConfig GetDisplayConfigBufferSizes And latest CCleaner also requires winbio.dll, a Windows 7+ DLL.

Agreed! ... Right ... But "10 years ago or more", besides me having a lot more hair on my head and less fat in my body , I was a lot less tech savvy than now; "touching" the registry, for whatever reason, was considered by me (after the advice given by many IT-literate people at the time) as a serious "faux pas"...

Very, very impressive !

The U.S. federal government banned the use of Kaspersky software. By Mark Hachman, Senior Editor, PCWorld MAR 28, 2022 9:59 AM PDT Antimalware provider Kaspersky Lab has been blacklisted by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission, adding its name alongside Huawei and ZTE as companies that are deemed a threat to national security. The FCC maintains a list of companies which are “deemed to pose an unacceptable risk to national security or the security and safety of United States persons,” and added Kaspersky to the list on Friday. Officially, the list now includes China Mobile International USA Inc., China Telecom (Americas) Corp, and AO Kaspersky Labs, as well as their subsidiaries. FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr said in a statement that adding those companies to the list “will help secure our networks from threats posed by Chinese and Russian state backed entities.” If a company is on the restricted list, it can’t receive federal subsidies, Bloomberg reported. The U.S. federal government banned the use of Kaspersky software in federal information systems in 2017 because of concerns about Kaspersky’s links to the Russian government. Individual users may continue to use products blacklisted by the FCC if they choose to do so, however. Kaspersky does not appear in PCWorld’s list of the best antivirus programs for your PC but does appear in the current list of PCWorld’s best free antivirus programs for Windows. If you try to install Kaspersky’s free tools, Windows Defender may flag Kaspersky as dangerous. We encountered the issue in our testing, though it wasn’t clear why the issues occurred.

I recently redid my Windows 8.1 install, and I notice artifacts, like bars on the screen, things looking corrupted or off for a split second before going back to normal. It's not a GPU issue as this doesn't happen when using Windows 7, and the GPU can be overclocked quite far before stability is a problem. I wonder if it could be caused by Aero Glass as I could see that causing issues like this, but I'm not sure. I'll try different drivers and a different version of Aero Glass soon. Edit: Tried 441.66 and 474.06, and they both have this issue, going to try 431.36 next.

By "both of these are chinese", @Cocodile meant 360Chrome and Opera, hence the link to a Vista forum topic.

@Cocodileand @K4sum1 This gaming conversation is off-topic. Take it to PM please.

IO: Fire and ice With 67 moons and counting, Jupiter is a solar system in miniature, full of many weird worlds to explore. But two of its moons excite the imaginations of science enthusiasts like no others: Io and Europa. Io is the most volcanic world in the solar system. Slightly larger than our Moon, the world fosters multiple erupting volcanoes on a daily basis, some of which shoot plumes of lava 250 miles (400 kilometers) above the surface. Vast lakes and rivers of dark magma flow while a caldera named Loki emits more heat than all the volcanoes on Earth combined. Why so hot?Io is caught in a cosmic tug-of-war between gigantic Jupiter on one side and large jovian moons (Europa and Ganymede) on the other. The varying gravitational pulls stretch Io like a rubber band. On Earth, we experience ocean tides from the Moon’s gravity. On Io, there is a ground swell. The stretching of all that rock produces heat, which melts a layer not far below the moon’s crust that then bursts out of volcanoes that pepper its surface. Io is literally turning itself inside out.... More: Weird Moons of the Solar System: http://www.cosmosup.com/weird-moons-of-the-solar-system/

Things work in mysterious ways. Opera 96 had updated to 96.0.4653.0 on 02.01.2023 (today) to Chromium master 110.0.5464.2. Earlier 96.0.4640.0 (on 20.12.2022) updated to Chromium on master to 110.0.5449.0 . I haven't tried the 96.0.4653.0 , I'm lazy to patch everything all over again. Sorry for the previous "acopule" typo, it's the consequences of celebrations, And Happy New Year !

@Dietmar Hi, Check PM for new iteration

79 MB only - so fabulous! compared to the others...

Why would I be looking ? For me everything works fine with the original Vista files. The exact culprit is Windows 7 and its files. The rendering in Windows 7 is blurry, bluish and with heavy DNR filters applied, not only in that game, but in everything.

No, this is not what I would do... So I would have two copies of the same profile(s) which diverge more and more in the future, if I would copy the NM28 profiles to NM27. Or...I would have to copy the profiles always when I want to use the other version - extremely inconvenient. An advanced warning would we good in case of the separation of the profiles would be a final intended decision. There is no other way to satisfy both sides, I think. So you have to change something in one line of four shortcuts (one time only, not every time you're using the other version) - this is much more easier then copying profiles whenever you want to use the other version (NM27/28). You also don't need any .bat to server your requirements. If you want to start NM27 with it's dedicated profile, click the NM27 shortcut - if you want to start NM28 with it's dedicated profile, click the NM28 shortcut. The issue @VistaLover mentioned didn't occur to me in the last years when I was using Nm27/28, as mentioned above - else I wouldn't suggest this method. In conclusion the "shortcut method" I described above is a good deal, I would think. OK, so OE Classic isn't a good replacement for Outlook Express... There are browsers for Win9x/NT4, actually: - K-Meleon 1.5.4 (2022/12/08) - RetroZilla 2.2 (2022/12/08) - RZ browser 2.2 (2022/12/08) "RetroZilla" is a suite (like SeaMonkey), "RZ browser" is just the browser. Of course, their engine (especially when it comes to JavaScript) is aged, but they support TLS 1.2. They are available via @roytam1's blog (https://rtfreesoft.blogspot.com/) or via my website (authorized mirror, https://soggi.org/misc/tools.htm). kind regards soggi

Well, I finally solved it about a year ago in one of those rare instances when I actually manage to find time to work on my long-suffering never-completed projects. You can stop the process that "deselects" these components by editing their respective .INF files and commenting out the "ValidateProc" line in each of their sections. Extract MOTOWN.INF and MMOPT.INF from precopy2.cab if they don't already exist in the main \WIN95 folder. Find the sections [media_acm], [Rec], [Vol], [media_clips], and [CDPlayer]**. Comment out (place a semicolon at the beginning of) the line in each section that begins with ValidateProc. (i.e. ;ValidateProc) Save changes. This should solve the problem. ** = I don't remember anything offhand about the [CDplayer] section; or whether or not this is required. I may not have looked into it further at the time, but just handled it similarly to the others once I figured out how to prevent them from being deselected.

just tried to install kodi 21 nightly build and it said windows 8.1 and above required. looks like kodi 20 will be the last version to support windows 7(this was in vmware testing it)

I did quite enjoy chardonnay, but never stopped at just a buzz. I'm 6 full years clean and sober. Don't worry, you're not missing much @UCyborg your GABA receptors will thank you ethanol is bad for the body

Correct. I've "accepted" the trade-off of correctly-allocated RAM over launch time (at least for now!).

Can you please tell me how I can install the following addons: fontreplacer: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/fontreplacer/nmmebpeglcpohgnekbekdjkpipmpajfj Kee - Password Manager: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/kee-password-manager/mmhlniccooihdimnnjhamobppdhaolme uBlock Origin: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin/cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm With the other versions, it always worked when I installed Chromium Web Store manually.

It's not technically corrupt (well it could be said from the older version perspective), sometimes you just have to move/migrate things around, rewrite some data to improve something and the old version obviously doesn't understand these changes. It's a one-way thing and the only guaranteed way back is with a backup. This is actually tweakable. There are registry settings specifying how exactly should the associated program be invoked, so you can put whatever arguments you need there. Does shell->open->command ring any bells?

it's now 2023 here! happy new year to all my friends! @mina7601@XPerceniol@msfntor@Tommy@jaclaz@Dave-Hand to all members if msfn!

I love pfSense. Get yourself a decent thinclient and a mPCIe adapter to add a second network jack and have it act as your internet router instead of plugging the internet into a regular store-bought router. Then install pfBlockerNG and one of the feeds is Crazy Max's Microsoft Telemetry, you can add this to your blocking repository. The benefit of doing it this way is any other computer on your network will be forced to abide by these rules. The next benefit is that if you get a new computer, upgrade, or add machines, these rules will always be in place without you having to manually configure them. You may want to fine tune certain things on the OS itself but this in large will help a lot of the snooping from taking place without having to lift a finger.

However you manage a firewall I suppose it doesn't matter where it resides. But having it on the network edge is better since you can manage it for all interfaces and not just one computer.

Thanks !

It will be against Google policy. This site is private site for more than 20 years and if you don't want to donate it is ok but you or anyone else have no right to request anything. We have collected money for 3 months and that's it. I'm tired of rant and wasting my time on this. Anyway, no more banners or donation. Thank you for your support.

The original question: https://msfn.org/board/topic/183152-windows-vista-on-intel-haswell-and-later-issues/?do=findComment&comment=1210440 I understood the sentence as "Hi ! Could you (plural - forum members) please confirm or deny what he (@Jakob99) says ? I refuse to beleive that ,but still , perhaps we need to try" "I'm assuming he's (@Jakob99) talking about the rollup from August 2020" The correct interpretation was probably "Hi ! Could you (singular - @Jakob99) please confirm or deny what he (@daniel_k) says ? I refuse to beleive that ,but still , perhaps we need to try" "I'm assuming he's (@daniel_k) talking about the rollup from August 2020" That's how it all started

You got it, dudine. waka waka waka

So long as nobody calls me dudette I'm fine Actually, just don't call me late for dinner.

If I knew what the question was, I may. The original question, if any, has been lost (or I cannot find it easily) in the midst of the (senseless) bickering (and whining). Maybe if these latter behaviours could be stopped (possibly right now) the communication among members would be easier, smoother and also more productive. jaclaz
