Why not, sure. But it's some nice picture, that's all Mina!

I never said this was portable (whatever that word means in regards to that matter) it is only a package in which the important browser files are so you only need an usual decompressor to get the files and avoid an installation process. The user data folder can be set up on any path you want using the --user-data-dir flag when the browser launchs. Probably because the website uses JS for its normal functions. It will assume that a browser that blocks/can't process JS files to be IE (but that's a guess on my point of view). I think it is the default thing on all browsers, you can set the setting as you want after the first launch. Nah, I don't know how to modify the looks of the interface. However, I think you can test installing theme extensions from the webstore. I remember installing a dark one but it didn't look pretty.

Good to know then.

I updated my website now https://computer-central.godaddysites.com/ it now has a Linux-Central (For Linux Fans) and a Windows-Central (For XP-7 Fans) a site for whatever os you use (and the support page here is back)

Hello!

No, I provided a package called MiniBrowser_Rebase.7z for that. Your welcome.

Moon and ice (Lapland, Sweden, 01/06/2023)…

I'm also on Arcolinux Forum now (I'm working on slowly switching over to linux eventually and want all the knowledge I can get) it's my plan to eventually move all my computers to linux

**watching**

Thank you I didn't know that but I new where the directory was/is as I monitor appdata/application data folders often. I knew it was not portable but I don't mind that. For me: C:\Documents and Settings\DELL\Local Settings\Application Data\DcBrowser\User Data

We generally refer to that as portable also. Some (but I am not one of them) do not classify WEB BROWSERS as "portable" unless ENCRYPTED COOKIES AND LOGINS also migrate from one PC to the next.

Hello Windows Updaters, here are some news. THE NEWS WIndows Update v3: The Windows Update v3 website is still experiencing issues, and we're working to solve them. However, there's an url : http://windowsupdate.overrender.com/R1201/v31site/default.htm (the website is still work in progress). We also discovered the Windows Update Catalog v3 (for update from Windows 95 to Windows 2000 Service Pack 2). WIndows Update v4: Windows Update v4 is missing the results.asp page. Without this page, you simply can't install updates. The Windows Update Catalog is not working at all. If any of you find the good results.asp, send me a private message and I'll try it. This would save us a long time of coding the page. WIndows Update v5: Windows Update v5 is now available in 22 languages, all included in the same folder (v5consumer). Once the pictures will be done, the Windows Update v5 pack will be released. If anyone wants to help us with translating the pages in any other languages (like Japanese, Chinese), send me a private message or join the Discord server. Any of you can help us. Don't worry, this project is not for 3 people only! If you have updates stored on your computer for old Microsoft Operating Systems, you can also offer them. All is accepted ! Credits: Thanks to all the members of this project, especially @WinFX!

I don't think so, because, look at this post for example, and this too, these posts are technical, yet they are posted in non-technical topics, Unless I misunderstood/missed something. Sure, let me try to re-phrase it - it's just if he were to focus on technical topics, they're better off in technical parts since it's where people would naturally look rather than here where we talk about random stuff. Nothing wrong with "off-topic" of course, given the dynamic flow of conversations.

There are even more good news about XP SP2 bit 64. Now we have brandnew acpi.sys, intelppm.sys and hal.dll.

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.

..and these Americans... (cool picture, that's all)

Hm, quoting gone wrong...I'll try quoting both separate posts rather than quote the quote... Yeah, I also see it funny, just comes out differently.

Any thoughts? I do agree with how he put it. I'd also add one should try to be kind to oneself. Now I'm a cynic, but can't shake the feeling I'm missing out. The logic tells me it's fine, it's nothing special. But is it really? You know, the theoretical possibilities of how things could be different in a positive way.

I don't understand this. Are you like, trying to tell us to comment under the posts you make here?

I don't plan to ever abandon msfn thou (I have to many friends here)

Too bad, agree, and I wouldl never switch over unless it stopped working at all that is why I use live sessions rather than to install them (the distros)

This is a sad moment for me, whenever I see people who were originally using Windows and then migrate to Linux, it makes me feel sad. I've personally never used Linux or any other OS in my life, only Windows.

Yeah, the news is mostly to get everyone worked up.

Good luck, but maybe only a few of your computer and (at least) keep a few with windows just for practice. I use Linux but am not on any forum and just do 'live sessions' from the DVD to RAM with limited functions. Enjoy what you do and do what you enjoy.

Misinformation is ruining society…

Baba Jaga vibes… Creepy street lamp in Wrocław, Poland… Baba jaga is the Polish spelling of the same witch/creature folklore (most languages: Baba yaga). Wrocław is a city in Poland, thus baba jaga is perfectly in context…

Yeah, we did a very great work to get this website working! Sadly, the most important page is missing... But the site itself is working, with the history, the personalization, etc. The site is still Work In Progress, I'm working to solve that damn 404 error.

No. And, it was not https.

No more my problem: I've found the solution, I think..: under Settings/'Cookies and other site data', here you have 'Clear cookies and site data when you quit Chromium' - switch slider to the right. So now ALL should be automatically deleted when the browser is closing?.. BUT I've links on the New tab.....hmm For dark mode, I've tried this: Type: Chrome://flags: Enabled: Force Dark Mode for Web Contents and: Web Platform Controls Dark Mode - so now I could've nice dark windows of extensions (uBlock..)... but I decided to return from this dark style, enough is enough for me. MiniBrowser has it already been rebased, please?.. I think so, but I've rebased it just in case, and now it weights 144 MB (416-272=144 MB), today after my rebase... _________________________ I've rebased Dll's in DCBrowser ( version Modified12.2022) today: - before rebase: 458-272=186 MB - after rebase (launch of rebase.bat and libase.exe under browser folder): 449-272=177 MB now. So DCBrowser lightened by 9 MB.. not so bad! But MiniBrowser is lighter: its weight is of 144 MB for browser v1.0.0121 only, here... 33 MB lighter.

Thanks for your additional input ; however, I don't have an account with imgur , all my image uploading there is done through an anonymous/not-logged-in session... Additionally, via a userscript and some protected imgur cookies, I still use the "old" imgur layout, which is much more lenient on H/W resources; "Share Options" here only include below four: and of these, as stated already, I always choose the "BBCode (Forums)" one...

Direct Link is the name of the text on the share options list, but maybe Imgur has different locale text. This is the text that is seen if you look at an image in your library.

Users have the ability to report a PM.

You're welcome! Glad I could help a bit!

No disagreement here. Just saying it's not exactly "black and white". This old dinosaur drives a '55 Dodge Coronet, a '61 Studebaker Hawk, a '90 Eagle Talon, and a '91 Dodge Stealth R/T.

Assuming this question is for me, Xidel already does exactly that; download stuff sequentially.

It might be possible to install Windows 7 on that device. It looks like you have a Surface Go 3, which is a 10th gen Intel, which is unsupported, but it is possible to run Windows 7 on that device, as I have on my MSI GF63 Thin. I have also successfully installed Windows 7 on the Surface Pro 1, which is a UEFI-only device, see here for more info: You can use the ISO linked in the post, which uses the Windows 10 PE, and follow the same directions, but you will have to modify the ISO by making a new Windows 7 install.wim by taking the original one, and slipstreaming drivers into it. You will need to slipstream a USB 3.0 driver, which you can get here: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/usb-3-xhci-driver-stack-for-windows-7.81934/, and a graphics driver, but I am pretty sure such drivers do not exist for Windows 7, but you may not need them. You will also need to use FlashBootPro EFI files or UEFISeven for WIndows 7 to boot, but I would recommend the former, as it worked for me. FlashBootPro EFI files should be included in the ISO, so you should be able to boot Windows 7 with those files. However, it looks like you have an eMMC SSD, and I'm not sure if it is possible to install Windows 7 on an eMMC SSD, but @George King has claimed to have done so. See these posts for more info: The NTOSKRNL Emu_Extender can be used for the eMMC SSD and potentially the graphics drivers, and maybe Wi-Fi drivers, which will not work with Windows 7, so you may have to use a wireless adapter. You can also look at XP2ESD (https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/tool-xp2esd-create-modern-windows-xp-installer-v1-6-2.82935/). In the folders, there may be some helpful apps/drivers to help you install Windows 7. Another thing to mention is that I have tried to install Windows 8.1 on a Surface Pro 6, but I get the INTERNAL_POWER_ERROR BSOD. I don't know if it will be the case for your Surface Go 3, but it's worth mentioning. I tried Server 2012 R2 and it worked flawlessly, so maybe you could try using Server 2008 R2. You can also try deleting the IntelPMT.sys driver, here is how you can do so: If all else fails, and you only want Windows 7 for the interface, I made a modded version of Windows 8.1 that looks almost identical to Windows 7, or you can install Windows 8 8056 which is the closest build to Windows 7 that has built-in eMMC support, which can be found here. I can't post the links here, but you can look them up. The only caveat is that you have to set the BIOS date to 7/27/2011, then somehow debomb it after. It has some elements of the Windows 7 interface, such as Aero, but also has some elements of the Windows 8 interface, such as the login screen and start screen.

Thoughts on Becoming a Proper Kind of Man Dry Creek Wrangler School "When I joined the military, I was astounded at the number of guys that didn’t know how to do anything. They couldn’t work with tools, didn’t know anything about cars, couldn’t cook, clean, balance a checkbook the list goes on. I had to ask one of them why they didn’t know how to do anything. The answer I got was: “I didn’t have anyone to teach me.” So, I think a big part of being a good man, is teaching young men how to do stuff and how to live and work in society."

Right! I use the full paid version. IDA is a good download manager and has been maintaining compatibility with Windows XP for years.

Recollecting from memory (must've been 5 years or more since I last used it ), it used to be that the Russian "edition" (DM) was full-featured (for mainland Russia market), whereas the int'l version of the app (i.e. IDA) had a "crippled" free version, unlocking the full features required a paid (PRO) licence ...

Sorry to reply to such an old post, but did you ever get a chance to intercept the requests to the server during gameplay when it was working? It would help with reverse engineering the game. Also, do you remember if it connected to the server via https? If it did, that is probably a reason it was shutdown, because for Windows ME to connect using https, it would need to use really old outdated cipher suites and a SHA-1 certificate.

I think the English version is called Internet Download Accelerator. I use it in Windows XP for years. Look here: https://westbyte.com/ida/index.phtml?page=download

Do good and feel well - feel good and do well. Hmmm that feels right to me today and I am left-handed thus I'm in my right mind

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.
