I found that there are ultimately four reasons why Chromium is broken on NT 6.x: 1. New imports in kernel32 and userenv. They can all be stubbed, not hard to fix. (Vista/7; 8.x has them) 2. Use of job object APIs in ways that are only supported on 8.x (without sandbox) and 10 (with sandbox) 3. Use of new NtQueryInformationProcess class for enumerating process handles; if it can't be used, the content process will be terminated (8.0 and below, sandbox only) 4. Use of new DirectWrite factories, like IDWriteFactory3, which was introduced in Windows 10 #1 is taken care of, I'm getting there with #2 and then I should be able to do #3. #4's solution is actually quite simple; copy over a Windows 10 DWrite.dll to use with Chromium using DLL redirection methods (I used 10.0.17763.1 and I think 10240 and up should work too). Then patch these DLL names in the import table with a hex editor or CFF explorer: api-ms-win-core-libraryloader-l1-2-0.dll -> kernel32.dll api-ms-win-core-localization-l1-2-2.dll -> kernel32.dll This is sufficient to run the latest Chromium browser snapshot on Windows 8: Right now there are truly missing functions on Windows Vista and 7, in api-ms-win-core-delayload-l1-1-0.dll and api-ms-win-core-delayload-l1-1-1.dll. Some of those return function pointers so they can't be stubbed.

I got COVID19 And it is YOUR fault by Vinay Prasad Dec 22, 2022 Dear Readers, After 3 years of faithfully covering COVID 19 from my side of a zoom meeting, having done everything right, recently, the worst news imaginable struck. (See picture). I got COVID! But most importantly, here is what I want you to know: it is entirely your fault! How did I get COVID? I got it from a MAGA republican! I was minding my own business at a holiday party, wearing a tight-fitting n95 and googles, as I have done for 2 years, and will continue for 45 more, when a MAGA republican approached me with drinks. I could tell he was MAGA because he hadn’t laminated his vaccine card and tied it to a string to wear around his neck. “Want a drink?” “No I can’t” I mumbled through my mask “Why are you wearing a mask?” he asked “Because I voted for Biden,” I replied “What’s that underneath it” he asked “That’s a cloth mask to keep my mask clean” I said “Where is your face-shield?” he asked “Right here,” I said reaching upwards, but nothing was there. Waves of panic began to fill my chest, where had it gone?”... ... “Its here if you want one,”... ... MORE: https://vinayprasadmdmph.substack.com/p/i-got-covid19

Yeah, that is the thing with my writing, when I'm low, it reflects in my word choices. It got quite dark at times, but from that darkness I was the light and here I am. Some days are dark days still despite all the therapy and pills and shots.

I saw three or four articles claiming that Google themselves suggest users to use a different browser instead of using their own browser with the --no-sandbox switch. BUT this doesn't really say much, in my opinion. Malware/Virus advocates basically make the same claim about running a computer without anti-malware/anti-virus. Yet I've not ran either, not even "on-demand" scans, in over 15+ years - and I have never been hit with malware or virus! It's about knowing what to click and what not to click, what web sites to trust and what web sites not to trust, when to allow javascript, when to block javascript, et cetera. I myself would use this switch IF my fonts disappeared as often as it seems to for others AND if the switch resulted in lower RAM (which was not the case when I measured on XP x64, but I only took one comparison instead of an average of several). I myself would NOT use the "Spectre mitigation" switch IF it did not result in Cloudflare capcha issues (because that switch does lower RAM).

A group of flamingos is called a flamboyance. They form very strong friendships & avoid ones they dislike. The oldest flamingo on record was 83 years old. There are 6 extant species. This is an American flamingo (Phoenicopterus ruber) The last wave goodbye. They spend their lives peacefully dispersing tree and flower seeds.

Interesting move, Salvatore! I would like to read from you the short articles and posts about everything that happened to be good in your life... only good points, never sad, pessimistic, please...

Well .. We'll see as its doesn't seem to work right, but will try DcBrowser later as no good on Mypal 68. EDIT: Not going to work so will keep looking as I need to have a phone. Not gonna happen.

Sal, what does that mean, please?

Mine used to also. For me, the fix was to KEEP the two swiftshader folder .dll files. But do note that the same two .dll files (by name, not by version) used to exist in the root folder also - perhaps some computers need the root folder .dll files and other computers need the swiftshader .dll files and still other computers need none of them.

I can get fonts to disappear in 360Chrome v11 each and every time and it only takes 15 seconds. 1) open this web site in 360Chrome v11 -- https://forum.eclectic4un.me/ 2) minimize 360Chrome v11 3) launch Serpent v52 4) click Ctrl-T to open a new tab 5) close newly opened tab 6) exit Serpent 52 (note, I didn't do any browsing, my St52 opens an about:blank tab and my new tab is also an about:blank tab) 7) restore 360Chrome v11 window that was previously minimized -- the username on posts will no longer be visible Works 100% of the time! Setting the --no-sandbox switch does indeed prevent fonts from disappearing. However - I can not get fonts to disappear in 360Chrome v13.5 build 1030 or in 360Chrome v13.5 build 2022, even with 360Chrome minimized for half an hour while browsing with St52, St55, and NM28 during that half an hour.

Of course it depends on the specific stick controller AND on the specific BIOS. Most of the sticks have a setting (called in jargon "removable" bit) that can be "flipped" by the Manufacturer Tool. Whether a Manufacturer Tool is available or not (and if even minimal instructions/docs for its use exist) vary greatly on the specific make/model of the controller inside the stick. Sandisk (that you mentioned in your other post) is a known exception for two reasons, their tools never leaked (AFAIK) and their controllers are not programmable via the USB connector (as well AFAIK they have on the PCB some contacts that can - presumably - be used with a TTL or similar serial adapter). But - generally speaking - this "removable bit" does not in itself affect in any way the BIOS (and more generally "real mode") part of the booting, issues can happen later in the booting phase and/or in the way the OS behaves after booting. If the manufacturer tool is available and you have the guts for it (a mistake in using it may well make the device not working anymore) setting the stick as "fixed" is a good idea, but there are filter drivers for Windows that can make the "flipping" at OS level, historically a driver called cfadisk.sys was made (originally for CF cards) then a couple similar ones came out dummydisk.sys and its "reversed version" rdummy.sys (making a fixed device removable), the most recent one is diskmod.sys that offers some other features: http://reboot.pro/index.php?showtopic=9461 http://reboot.pro/topic/22249-diskmod/ Windows before 10 treated "removable" (USB) devices different from "fixed", i.e. the stick was either unpartitioned or - if partitioned - only one (first) partition would have been mounted/assigned a drive letter, so the filter driver was needed whenever multiple partitions were needed or wanted, one of the very few good things that Windows 10 did was to allow multiple partitions on removable media, so that nowadays cases where the filter driver is needed are rare. Anyway all the above has historically been irrelevant when it comes to "booting" (defined for the scope of this post as the initial part of booting, up to the choices in the boot manager configuration files). Problems in this early part usually derive from (not necessarily in order of relevance): 1) "wrong" HS geometry of the partitioning/formatting (almost anything partitioned under windows will be 255/63, which may or may not suitable) 2) errors in the MBR or PBR code or data 3) strange settings or quirks in the motherboard BIOS, including (but not limited to) "allergy" to specific MBR code, limits on geometry depending on size of the device, device size limits, and more, like needing two partitions on the stick The above is about BIOS/MBR, I hate to say this but (with some exceptions) UEFI booting often has less issues as it does not usually suffer from #1 and #2 above. You will need to describe the issues you are having and the specific sticks and motherboards involved (and of course the boot manager/OS you are trying to boot). jaclaz

Someone always seems to find some post I wrote a decade ago and revives it or asks a question. Glad to see things are still going strong here after all this time.

Yes it does, but it uses some different syntax (FirefoxFix=1 instead of BuildNumber=7600 for fixing Firefox fonts, for example).

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.

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).

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

As a Win11 user, it will assumingly take until 2033 or 2034 for me.

The font size and color is fine. I don't have to change anything.

As far as I'm concerned, you can discuss whatever you like as long as it's reasonably relevant to the topic concerned, unless and until anyone complains about the thread moving too far off-topic. As it's your thread, that's up to you!

1- Yes, indeed ! 2 - And you were/are right, 'cause looks we've got ourselves another Kaspersky. The creator surname is Pavlovski.

As you long as you don't install any additional bloatware the installer offers (toolbars, software, etc.), you should be fine. Anyway, you're welcome.

I wasn't too keen on installing it but it was legit so I did the install.

I'm now using: CCleaner 4.19.0.4867 Thanks, guys :)

I stopped upgrading mine at v4.17.4808.

To me at least, CCleaner up to version 4.19 was the last good usable version to me. I hate any version newer than 4.19.

I'm going to watch this tonight, actually, Hope we attract new people on the forums. I don't know what to do?!

I have to say that I can do nothing as I am not you. You have to decide yourself what to do. One thing I gotta say that dumbest possible thing to do is trying make yourself believe you only need "teh latest and (not always) greatest" and not look back to what works for you. Everyone seems to be falling for that and suffer from half assed systems. Also I do not know should I laugh or cry to those who want get rid of win10 since telemetry and go to spyware distro called ubuntu, install microsoft teams and all other spyware programs to it. You only changed your master that way. I give you two example for more realistic soluctions: Example 1 I personally banned Windoze 8+ on my personal network and any newer machine I service are only on my lab network which is behind different ip and network hardware. I installed Linux for dualboot on my notebook and on my desktop pc so can use it to do things Windows 7 can't do. I am running wide variety of operating systems on my network starting from Windows 3.11 for workgroups up to to Windows 7 and Linux and wont fall for "you can only use one os" meme. Example 2 One of my friend who is network admin. He partially lifted Windows 10 ban as he needed it to play some newer titles. He is running Windows 10 on his main workstation and got second workstation running Windows 7 that he uses for any serious use since win10 keep hosing up according to him. He is also running older Windows versions and linux like me. What distro I recommend now? Well something that got all you need by default and at the point writing this Salix OS is that. It is very minimal and got that one program per purpose philosophy. Full install takes less than 3gb of hdd space and it got celluloid for video/dvd player, quod libet for audio player, firefox for browser etc. And if you need more programs there is graphical installer that will automatically do it for you without need for pulling hair or smashing keyboard. Even though it is one of few gem in linux distros I need to give it honest critic. They could have had included more privacy respecting browser than Firefox like GNU/Librewolf or Ungoogled Chromium, but maybe I am just nitpick there

Very similar to Win11 I've setup in a virtual machine (minus the rounded corners and Win11 specific icons). I haven't booted to 10 in a while, currently reliving Win8.1 era and going through my screenshots I apparently never made a screenshot of my actual Windows 10 setup.

I decided to revive this topic, but here is my Windows 10 desktop I will call my theme WinOS 11 Big Sur (I will be releasing the transformation pack someday, but however this is the test before releasing this to the MSFN forums)
