I'd like to mention a FreeCap alternative: SocksCap64 https://www.sockscap64.com/homepage/ It's freeware, last updated in 2017. It is more powerful than FreeCap. FreeCap cannot socksify child process IIRC. SocksCap64 can customize the site to verify proxy, while FreeCap uses freecap.ru:80 fixed.

News about Office 2013 on Windows Vista The full suite of Office 2013 Pro Plus installed on Windows Vista. A dream come true, maybe... I have managed to install Office 2013 on Vista and I have the method so that it can be installed without errors (it works with any program in the suite, except for Visio, which appears as an unconfigured application when trying to start it). It remains to see a problem about the license not being found, the same problem occurs in Windows 2000 when installing Office 2007 with a very similar manual, which is solved by importing a Windows XP key with the same installed copy of Office 2007. I will have to try if it works by installing my copy of Office 2013 on Windows 7 and importing that key into Vista. But then there are programs from the suite that are unfortunately unusable (at least for now). Some extra programs like "Send to OneNote" seem to work correctly. Here is an image of "Send to OneNote 2013" working correctly. At the moment I do not want to share the method to install Office 2013, at least until I can solve the license problem. When much of the suite works, I'll share a method in a separate topic and just dedicated to installing Office 2013 (and maybe newer versions) on Windows Vista, to make it easier to find.

Although my immediate problem has been solved, that's a good idea. My proxy solution has worked for a long time, but with all the ch-ch-ch-changes at the office lately, I can't be sure it will continue to do so. But it seems likely that ForcePoint would also block connections to public VPNs, so I'd probably have to set up my own (possibly at home). Doable, but I'll wait until it becomes necessary.

Happy for you and glad my mention proved helpful ...

I stopped upgrading mine at v4.17.4808.

please check the javascript error console to see if there is some error. but if it fails with 20221224 and up, it could be Martok's changes causing that.

Yesssssssaaaaaaaaa Ты действительно самый лучший! @Mov AX, 0xDEAD What a crazy hard work. Here it is, XP SP2 bit64 on Gigabyte z690 UD DDR4 with free acpi.sys without any Debugger Dietmar

I'm glad, I was hoping to cheer you guys up. How are you guys doing overall? Its was in the high 50's here but dark day with little sun.

To minimize clutter from add-ons, I had to do this with a clean profile. Ugh. I didn't realize how much I rely on Classic Theme Restorer! Error console shows a large number of "unreachable code after return statement" warnings: Also a few "Expected one argument" errors, with no context to help locate the error:

I find the search results very poor as well, but, of course, wonder why google has such "good" results ... ha ... but they just think they know me. I've never heard of Rumble so will check it out. EDIT: Actually I seem to be blocking it. I see its slanted away from me and I guess I'll avoid it - I've also been avoid youtube lately as well.

They might provide security patches for a while, even thought I doubt it. https://forums.opera.com/topic/58446/will-opera-also-ends-support-for-windows-7-and-8-1/9 Cheers

... Thanks ; at least a certain MSFN member doesn't frequent this thread, because it appears "socksifying" apps have been developed mostly by the Russians and Chinese (probably to circumvent state-implemented web censorship ) ; but that is not the gist of my post... One of the hosters SocksCap64 is distributed through is MEGA: https://mega.nz/folder/qBoD2BiB#BZbHB1tetB79SAvJEoVlLw Since my daily driver is Serpent 52, I loaded that link there and all 3 initial stages (Requesting folder data, Receiving folder data, Decrypting folder data) completed fine, with the page loading as expected; however, when clicking the green "Download all as ZIP" button, the download attempt invariably fails , claiming a "Temporary error, retrying": (you've guessed it, "retrying" doesn't succeed ) The same thing happens when using latest Serpent 55.0.0 (doesn't come as a surprise to me) ... To exclude any interference caused by my "dirty" profile, I tested this in a new St52 profile, too: It appears "upstream" have been made aware 5 days ago, but nothing of practical value posted there, yet... AIUI, MEGA first downloads data as a blob stored in RAM, and it then offers to save the full download to disk... It worked in St52 the last time I used it, ca. a month ago... Having MEGA currently broken in UXP is a "bummer", because I do use the service often... @roytam1, could you please investigate/offer some insight/workaround? FWIW, I had to use 360EEv12 (Ch78-based) to fetch from MEGA and it worked OK the first time (Ch78 being quite "old" by now, hopefully the UXP-breakage isn't related to some "exotic" Javascript being recently implemented by MEGA...).

If I where you, I'd report that spamming cretin to the MSFN moderators, who the hell allows him to to use our inboxes to fulfill his needs for another forum ?!??! Why they want you ? Well, two possible scenarios: 1st - They're gonna make a mockery out of you, like they did in the past, I still have a couple of quite unpleasant screenshots somewhere. 2nd - Their situation is just awful (no surprise), and they simply want to fill out their empty space. What struck me as weird, why is he still here and @Tripredacus won't do anything about it ? Perhaps he just doesn't know that cretin resurfaced here again under a new name ? I was under the impression - previously banned users are not allowed. So report him the inbox message and his new screen name. This is *of course* not my business, if you choose not to. Then good luck to you on that "eclispe" or whatever that stinking hole name is.

Rumble is a video platform like Youtube.

Latest news I have: https://msfn.org/board/topic/182107-grub4dos-for-uefi/page/4/#comment-1233863 In a nutshell, there were some issues with the hosting/provider AND the actual machine, so it was shut down and Nuno is going to re-deploy on a new machine from last backup. jaclaz

Yes, I feel that..

Me too. Scratch to have good taste... - but don't forget Wise Disk Cleaner v7.99.570 I've.

I was thinking that you could make a short video of when you do these updates, and create a Youtube channel to publish these videos, the simple text description may not transmit to the audience enough the emotions you feel when implementing these updates. Besides (right now) the site gives a 404: jaclaz

rinse, repeat.

Will do, time permitting. I appreciate your patience!

Just an idea! What about establishing a VPN connection to circumvent ForcePoint's censoring? If a VPN connection is established, all @roytam1's browser with their own TLS 1.3 clients (set to No Proxy, of course) use this connection. Maybe, OE Classic, too. ForcePoint actually shouldn't notice a connection to www.oeclassic.com via VPN.

Well that is lame :/

Yeah, I've always considered myself and "old soul".

HTTP and Secure (HTTPS) are set to use ProxHTTPSProxy on port 8079; see screen shot above. ProxyCap appears to be a no-go for me: to configure anything, it requires the user to be not merely an Administrator, but a member of the "Administrators group." Groups only exist on domain-joined Windows versions, so although I'm an Administrator, I'm not a member of any group and ProxyCap won't let me configure anything. I'll look at the alternatives mentioned, starting with the proxycfg command. Something like Wireshark, I presume? Actually, OE Classic's author already got back to me on that: So the activation server is apparently www.oeclassic.com itself. And it sounds like he implemented his own HTTP(S) client, a la Firefox, in order to implement modern security protocols; that's why the system settings used by IE8, etc. don't work. (Of course Chromium still manages to use them, so it should be possible for OE Classic to use them in the same way.) Edit: Proxycfg didn't do the trick, but FreeCap did. I'm activated and (hopefully) getting my $37 worth.

With more debug output there is no problem with HIDD or I2C0, dsdt is same on ever reboot One crazy idea - emulate time delay (near DbgPrint(c000034...)) when running free build without windbg connection:

Taking proper cybersecurity measures is not "obsessed" nor "paranoia." Windows 7 from 2015 is absurdly vulnerable, to the extent of WannaCry being able to ransomware your machine, and any piece of software being able to take full control of your PC with administrative rights, especially on Nvidia with over 29 bugs. Updated Windows is significantly less vulnerable. That's what you do not seem to grasp in full power, the paramount importance of security. Like, makes me think that until you'll be wrecked by malware extremely badly, get own experience, you'll think "Why should I update? It runs perfect." Do you not install fire alarms with sprinkles against fire too, will you not call firefighters, would you close the eyes in "ignorance is bliss" & drink the tea surrounded by the hungry flames? I was like you too, a long time ago, didn't listen, thought wrongly. Saying "Why should I install counter-fire measures? The house exists perfectly." will never save you from fire in a wooden house, for example. Anyone who have survived through the misfortune of a deadly scary event of having their old electric grid self-fry the wires due to overload,—like, causing fire in the house in the time when their Android phone discharged, left without any help from neighbours, alarms or firefighters, were alone enraging flames,—will always 24/7 remember how actually critical is taking proper measures before fire strikes, how horribly threatening this is when it happens. It's a miracle I survived! If I haven't done the right thing in noticing it in another far-away room in time, in acting fast to water the fire down, or if it had happen at night, I could be dead.

Thanks ; had forgotten ; while "netsh" itself is available under XP, it appears "netsh winhttp" syntax is NOT: https://www.computerhope.com/netsh.htm#xp It's by the same author; I unearthed a more recent version (1.5 compared to 1.4 you linked) in https://widecap.software.informer.com/

You might find interesting iamtiredof's info from GOG Forum. They've singlehandedly tested Windows 7 compatibility for over hundreds of GOG games demanding Windows 10 in system requirements.

No, because Duck is just a clone and its search results are very poor. And what is Rumble ? Never heard of it. Something russian again ? Someone here already wrote - Duck is jewish . A guy from Mossad created it. Mossad is less "evil" than CIA, in yor opininon ?

I've just been watching this over and over and I LOVE it.

I preferred much older versions of Ccleaner from before Avast/AVG took over Piriform in 2017. Version 5.64 had annoying nagware. Ccleaner’s end of support was discussed in a Windows XP thread March 2020. Of course there are other similar products (there’s a list on page 1, and shelby just mentioned another one on page 74 of this rapidly-growing thread which is not about software that requires the extended kernel to work).

About reboot.pro, you need some patience, I just got a message from Nuno, he is migrating the board to a new machine since the old one had issues and *for some reasons* it was made inaccessible by the provider. I believe it will take a few days, maybe a little more, as the migrating process (from remote) is not "easy-peasy". jaclaz

I've included all of my builds here. You can test your language. https://mega.nz/folder/zzoz0Rbb#2Nrnu7G-LU856U4zVOM2hg
