Your profile suggests you are almost 23 years old, so I wonder what you were using before Avast? Avast Free 18.8 was the last thing I used on Vista, but I wasn’t really crazy about it. I wonder how much longer definitions will be provided for the legacy version.

I won't get lost. It doesn't distract me.

Agree with @msfntor on this and hope you don't get lost in forum land when your this isn't real - its real enough for me actually.

Yeah, but I mean, they might not have enough time for reading posts/partaking, as they could be busy with other stuff. That's what I meant.

No of course, all is OK, but now I'm prepared to go sleep slighty.. 9 or 10 hours ajajajaj

Hey @msfntor, I hope you didn't take my above post as offending to you! If it looks offending, I am sorry.

... Please, remove links to unofficial/3rd party Windows OS re-distributions, as these are not allowed here and could easily get you permanently banned ... Your main query should be best directed at the place you got the .ISO from ...

ehehehe I never really left, I was mostly lurking around, but I didn't have much time to reply. It's been a bit of a tough period.

welcome back francebb! and avast has served me pretty well over the past 22 years and I don't plan to stop using it unless something bad happens

I've been with Avast for 11 years now and I'll never stop, probably. I renew the Premier version every year and it comes nicely 'cause I can use it on all my devices, including my Android phone and it has a VPN which I also use on a daily basis.

@msfntor You misunderstood my reply to @UCyborg, but I still love your response, however, my reply isn't about the year I will stop using Chrome or Windows (XP or Vista or 7, or my main OS, 11), my reply is about my assumption of the year of when I would start getting missing APIs errors when opening Chrome on Win11 (the "Entry Point Not Found" errors) But then, yeah, since you said it, I will also never abandon Chrome and Windows XP and 7.

Astrofalls.com NEW (to me..) astro website Website: https://astrofalls.com/ And THIS: https://astrofalls.com/pages/cepheus-to-cassiopeia New Discovery: M31 and the [Oiii] Arc Strottner-Drechsler-Sainty-1: A never before captured extensive oxygen emission right next to the andromeda galaxy.

As a WinXP user, it will supposedly take to never abandon it, and use Windows7 in parallel. I'm one of those who are loyal, faithful.

So you've very bad memory. Because you're YOUNG! Young with very bad memory... me too, 've bad memory, but I'm "always young", that it's.

Done :-)

Went out for dinner today and was back before 5:30 and others were upset about various things and I had to fake being upset because I was actually alright, but that did change a little bit but still pretty good day and accept I'm reminded that I'm getting old. Watching and reading msfntor ...

Yeah, hard to find free without needing a cell phone number and I won't.

Hah, I don't want to predict the timeframe.

@NotHereToPlayGames : Official Pale Moon (and, as a consequence, NM), has never supported WebRTC, which is required for (most) online-services accessing the mic and/or camera... Serpent 52's WebRTC implementation, despite being standards-compliant (the claim by "upstream"), is generally not "well-digested" by recent "chat/telephony" services, which expect the type of WebRTC found in recent Chromium incarnations... It's actually UXP issues 1279, 1285 , 1286, 2056 , all fixed by martok's (the author of palefill) PR #2060 (I believe martok was paid a bounty by MCP for his contribution). The merged code landed first on Roy's browsers (actually, ahead of upstream ) with the Xmas Eve releases ... ... Don't make decisions based on sheer enthusiasm ... That was just ONE long-standing UXP shortcoming that was fixed... Chromium 86 is years ahead in JS features in demand by the recent "web"... UXP still lacks a full and proper WC/CE implementation (that's why palefill exists for just a handful of sites), plus lacks "dynamic module import" support and a few other "deal-breakers" ... And UXP is still developed as a single-process platform; might have been good back then in 2016-7, but what about now when one tab might "host" a full-blown web app (with 10s of MBs of js code, e.g. web discord/desktop YT, etc.)? Especially on older H/W most of us here use, that "one tab" stalls the whole browser GUI by itself ... I'd stay with 360EEv13.5 myself (especially if WebRTC is a "must") ...

Someone is dumping dozens of guinea pigs in parks around Austin and nobody knows who or why Daniel Payne ··Jan 14, 2023 · NottheBee.com You may have heard of the campaign in Austin, Texas to promote and preserve the eclectic, charming, unique style of that city — it's called "Keep Austin Weird." Well, not to worry, Austin, you are still very, very weird: An Austin nonprofit organization is asking for the public's help after dozens of guinea pigs were dumped along the Interstate 35 corridor. Austin Guinea Pig Rescue told KXAN the organization is receiving frequent reports of animals in need of rescue and rehabilitation. Dumped guinea pigs have been found along I-35 and under highway bridges, within bathrooms at city parks and as far north as Round Rock, as well as down south near Buda. Okay, two things: First of all, there's such a thing as a "guinea pig rescue" organization? Second of all, who is doing this? The authorities' best guess is a guinea pig breeder, which I didn't know was a thing. Frisch said the organization suspects a guinea pig breeder is behind the high volume of neglected animals. AGPR is asking members of the public to keep an eye out for animals at these locations and to help catch and hold the guinea pigs until AGPR can step in. They've also requested anyone behind the neglected animals reach out to AGPR and surrender all their animals with "no questions asked." It's raining guinea pigs in Austin.

Thanks. Fixed.

hey guys whats up! so i have this abit be6 mobo, that takes ISA slots, 2 isa slots so i decided to try to revisit the past and make a windows 3.11 box.. background ive got it working.. i installed ms-dos 6.22 , actually first i tried 7.1 with fat32 and that worked out horribly so i started over with a clean wipe of my 20gb ide drive to fat16, 2gb for the first pri dos partition, and then the rest isnt allocated for now.. but is in an extended partition with no logical partitions.. anyway so i have one c: drive fat 16 and 2gb in size.. running dos 6.22 i installed windows 3.11 fine.. installed my 3com networking 100baset card just fine the other hardware that i have is a midiman winman 4x4/s midi interface that provides 4 in 4 out midi connections.. and a sound blaster AWE32 the first time i tried to install the sound blaster awe32 with dos 7.1 worked amazing. it did everything on its own via the dos based installer.. and worked fine. now since started over with dos 6.22 i cant get the same installer to work properly.. im not sure if its a hardware conflict between the winman 4x4/s and the awe32.. i dont think so tho.. the winman4x4 is set up on 300h / irq 10 .. and the awe32 is at .. im not sure i cant find the settings atm.. internet explorer 5.0 on windows 3.11 now.. that aside. my other issue is the browsers i installed a few. opera.. netscape + internet explorer id like some help teling internet explorer to use the LAN connection. my networking is working as i can use Cute FTP to connect to my fileserver just fine.. but the internet explorer.. i cant get it to load any pages at all.. wikipedia says internet explorer 5 was released in 1999: "Version 5.0, launched on March 18, 1999" should i be trying a lower version?? oh and theres also an error message about somethign called "winsock" when windows first starts up anyway if someoen can help me figure this out or point me at a tutorial or book or something?? id be really grateful cubase for windows 1993 another issue is ive got cubase score for windows 1.03d installed and i cant figure out how to get any midi signals *IN* to cubase.. ie : to record my own playing i can draw notes in just fine with the mouse and they play back just fine.. via the winman 4x4/s... but in the arrange window, per track shows an "output" setting but no "input" setting and i cant find any input settings anywhere in the entire app!!! so confusing

Okay and OK Also going to bring you into the msfn-café just in case you are seeing this and following my thread. Going to talk to my therapist now.

29 Animals that Mate for Life: Monogamous Animals List By: Author Diane Diegor There’s a certain sweetness when it comes to animals that mate for life. Scarlet macaws, for example, will spend up to 50 years together. In this post, you’ll learn about monogamous animals, including birds, mammals, fish, crustaceans, even parasites. Up to 90% of bird species are monogamous. When it comes to mammals, only about 5% of them stick to the same mate each breeding season. Sea creatures and reptiles are seldom monogamous, but there are exceptions. Why Do Some Animals Mate for Life? 4 Factors While the idea of being with the same mate for life sounds romantic, in the animal world it is often done out of convenience. Here are some reasons that these animals will mate for life. 1.When it comes to birds, both parents are needed. The one bird incubates the eggs, while the other goes off in search of food. By the time the chicks are ready to leave the nest, it’s time for the adults to breed again. And who better to breed with than a partner who is already there, and has proved himself/herself to be a good parent? 2.In other cases, having both parents around serves as a protection against predators. So rather than impregnating a female and leaving her to fend for herself, the male will stay and help raise the family. 3.Another benefit is the time factor. Many species have elaborate mating rituals, where the male spends much time trying to win over a female. And after all of his effort, the female may not even be interested. Staying together for life allows the pair to get straight to breeding when the time comes, instead of trying to win over a new mate each year. 4.There may also be an emotional component. This is evident in their excitement when catching a glimpse of their mate after a time apart. It can also be seen in their distress when a mate passes away. 29 Animals that Mate for Life Below you will find 29 examples of animals that mate for life. Some of them have some pretty special and adorable ways of taking care of their mate.... MORE: https://storyteller.travel/animals-that-mate-for-life/

There are some providers that are still using PPTP and L2TP like FastestVPN (not the fastest, unlike the name suggests, but still). Otherwise, you can use different protocols, for instance OpenVPN works just fine on XP, you just have to install the client (or rather an older version of the client). Alternatively, you can go for a different protocol like IPSec Xauth PSK by installing the Shrew Soft VPN Client which still runs on XP. As to the browsers, aside from Roytam's constantly updated forks, I'm currently using some special Long Term Support XP Compatible Chromium builds that my company receives as part of a special support, so I'm currently on Chromium 92, however it does have some pretty bad CVE, so I'm trying to use it as little as possible until the next update comes up. Lastly, when it comes to updates, the best thing you can do is to install 0Patch and call it a day as they will at least provide some level of protection against vulnerabilities that Microsoft didn't bother to patch after July 2019.

I have a couple of relatives that used to make a living programing PLC production lines. One of them leaned more towards the GUI. I guess he still does it.

It was an assumption though, I assumed that by 2031, MS will have dropped Win11 support, and that Google would support Chrome on Win11 for 3 more years (like with Win7, which had a large market share).

Already on Win10 20H2, will take a while before I get those damn errors about missing APIs without updating the OS. BTW, you should embed HTTP link rather than HTTPS link for sites that don't have SSL setup correctly or use self-signed cert. Otherwise, it just blocks the image from being viewable in-post. OK, I just thought you felt the pressure to talk to people. Here, it's mostly tourists that even say hi. I'm not much of a talker, only under specific circumstances.

Christmas release. You can rebase NM28 as well, it has bunch of DLLs, though only one bigger one. And check memory.free_dirty_pages on about:config page, set it to true. Found on Bugzilla that it was the direction Firefox went, something internally about memory management that should behaved like that from the beginning. It probably won't make much difference though, different browser, different quirks. I forgot, is this the one with about:permissions page? I wonder if WebGL performance on XP will ever be fixed in these browsers. It's at least a decade old tech and it worked fine...a long time ago. Performance is OK on Vista, though when I was browsing Shadertoy, I got some crashes (only WebGL settings that were altered were webgl.enable-debug-renderer-info and webgl.enable-draft-extensions). Specifically, searching for "bunny" and clicking through all the search results eventually produced a crash inside libGLESv2.dll. I've actually 'been using SeaMonkey's libEGL.dll and libGLESv2.dll on official Pale Moon for a while, simply due to the hunch that I have that SeaMonkey folks are more attentive to that component compared to UXP folks. And those DLLs are compatible with UXP, you get more extensions listed on the about:support page as well. Anyway, I tried libEGL.dll and libGLESv2.dll from seamonkey-2.53.14.en-US.win32.zip (Windows 7+ compatible browser) with latest 32-bit Serpent 52 on Vista and the browser did not crash anymore on Shadertoy!

ive been using avast because my family pays for the premium version every year and it would be a waste of money to not use it (so I'm stuck with it until the payments stop)

I wouldn't feed line/headphone level audio into a microphone input, it will probably overload it and the result will be extremely distorted. The aux/line input on the computer should be fine.

@pappyN4 You cannot reference to "end of file", dll is PE format. PE format is collection of segments mapped to near regions of memory hal.dll has many segment, you can use only segment marked as .TEXT or one of .PAGE*, don't use .INIT look at end of each segment to see how much bytes are free before address of next segment 1) for example halmaci.dll sp3 v5512 has free ~120 bytes in .text from .text:8001900D to .data:80019080 2) in any PE Editor increase .text segment virtual(mapped to memory) size from 0x8C0D to raw(size in file) size 0x8C80

is a pentium III 700mhz cpu too fast to properly run apps in windows 3.11? what other factors would contribute to zooming in + out within the editors in cubase to be too incredibly fast to manage?? could it be a bad video driver / card combo? im sure the cpu is cheap to downgrade my cpu in this 440bx board but if i dont have to do it its kind of a waste of time/money but if im focused on trying to use software from the early/mid 90s am i going to run into issues with my cpu causing programs to behave too quick with a 700mhz PIII cpu?

If the BIOS has an "Enable L1 cache" option, unchecking it will usually cripple performance!

IO.SYS is always in C:\. In some cases it may be hidden. You can unhide it by using: ATTRIB -h -s -r IO.SYS

Your links show my Patch for the Current Directory issue.I didn't see the Patch for the IO.SYS Patch required unless it is at the Website in German.

You mean these, also discussed further in this other thread staring on this post, right?

There is no reason not to use IO.SYS 7.1 and FAT32 with Windows 3 even for the Boot Volume. A couple of simple Patches to IO.SYS and Windows makes it work.

While still using FAT16 as underlying filesystem for the "boot" volume, personally I would still attempt to run Windows 3.11 on 7.x rather than on 6.2x, just in case: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/97945-windows-311-and-ms-dos-71/ Working link to 3xStart: https://web.archive.org/web/20081221094417/http://oldfiles.org.uk/powerload/win3x.htm Opera 3.62 (16 bit) used to work fine on 3.11: http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=12102 http://arc.opera.com/pub/opera/win/362/english/ jaclaz
