No, appears to be .NET Windows Forms app with WebBrowser control, so just a frame around Internet Explorer's Trident engine provided by the operating system. You cannot pack actual complex web browser with ability to handle modern web in few megabytes.

... Tab Mix Plus Hmm..., if you had been closely following the discussions in this thread for the last 2 weeks, then you'd have remembered that tab-affecting extensions (notably TMP and TUP - Tab Utilities Phoenix) had been broken by a tab-related change that landed in previous Serpent 52 - start [re-]reading from here) ... Greetings

Added note to top of first post regarding number of characters in sub-folder name.

Well, I troubleshooted it with the help of eMatrix. It appears there are 2 scripts from 'support.microsoft.com' that can be blocked (no idea what impact that has on functionality). [Edit] Checked a while later and there was only 1 script (according to eMatrix)... But checking uBOs logger, I see a lot of scripts from support.microsoft.com/js/*. Blocking all of these in uBO ---> page not functioning. Conclusion: I'm no good at troubleshooting either.

the maps now work perfect on either webGL disabled or enabled https://msfn.org/board/topic/182876-360-extreme-explorer-modified-version/page/121/#comment-1240719 360ChromePortable_13.5.1030_r8_regular_webgl-disabled_translate-enabled_win-10-skin

No it isn’t possible. You have to switch to 10 x86 to use it or get a USB wireless adapter.

While I agree, it's a pipe dream. The world is rotten to the core. Expect nothing but the worst from everyone.

You should have allowed this old thread to rest in peace. Things have changed since April 2021: I no longer use Vista, Dixel is no longer active at MSFN, and TSNH posted Guide - Vista extended kernel installation which might be perfect for those “younger members” that you are concerned about. I already mentioned that in your new thread earlier today, and this will be my final post in this thread!

Of course you could have simply consulted (or resurrected) your February 3 thread on exactly the same topic. Considering you just joined MSFN in January, you seem to have great difficulty remembering all of your previous posts - perhaps because you have tried at least four different versions of Windows since then?

I compiled the NTEXT wrappers. SSE2 required. Note: the linkout.pl script makes an assumption that VC++ adds an extra underscore to functions that start with one. That is not true with VC++ 9, so such functions had one too many underscore for me. Though VC++ 6-8 may be different... The wrappers can be imported in place of ntdll.dll. New releases of kernel32.dll will refer to ntext instead of ntdll. The x64 ntext.dll has a modified RtlQueryPerformanceCounter, and it works good with Firefox 80. But there is a significant issue with the function in its unmodified form; it appears that any call to ntdll functions causes a "privileged instruction" error. So instead of calling the export-forwarded ZwQueryPerformanceCounter, I placed it directly in my dll as a subroutine and that fixed it. The x86 wrapper will need a little extra work since x86 ntdll is much farther behind W7 than the x64 ones.

Yes, that will work in Windows 2000 as well. That also disables the condensed menus.

Oh, sorry, I thought TMP was a short for temporary, since that's the meaning I see the most Anyway, thanks!

If WebGL is disabled, Mars panorama should work with the CSS3D support in Centaury... I get this error in my new 360Chrome v8 (without WebGL): "ERROR: Adobe Flashplayer or HTML5 Browser with WebGL or CSS3D support required!" So my new 360Chrome v8 (without WebGL) does'n have CSS3D support, visibly... but it doesn't matter to me, I don't care about these Mars panoramas etc etc...

I wouldn't use Datacenter at all. Unless there are other versions out there that work with other hardware. I couldn't even get sound working in Datacenter when I tried it. If you're going to use a server product, go with Advanced Server. But honestly, there's really no reason to with extended core and being able to use PAE, you're just going to get the same results as you would with Professional.

Hello! As I mentioned earlier I switched to another PC where I already fixed the AHCI/SATA issues and it's not related to the SSD. And this computer has support for Win7 x64 or higher meaning that I don't even have manufacturer (Dell) support for XP! (It works though by using modded drivers and such,, like 2000) I guess you cannot tell the difference between that website's language (ja-JP) and mine (ko-KR). I do not understand Japanese although Google Translate is good enough to let me understand what the site's about. I tried many old NVIDIA drivers from that site to the most recent one, also tried switching the extended core version and no luck. No version gets me both screen working (Dual view) like on XP and higher. The secondary GPU solution does work for now though but it feels like a waste of energy..

I don't really know if this is possible (ive never used a network card) but with as much talented people as there is here solution should be a easy to find solution for this -legacyfan

Correct, links are down for rebuild 7 due to space needed for rebuild 8 -- https://msfn.org/board/topic/184515-arcticfoxienotheretoplaygames-360chrome-v1351030-rebuild-8/ I will upload ALL versions one of these days to Internet Archive (including past v11, v12, and v13 builds). Unsure when I will be able to do that.

Thanks.

I got a copy of the 111 builds, but never got a chance to grab the 112 build before it was removed.

the Mini Browser looks like the brother of the following one which is pretty unstable https://msfn.org/board/topic/184266-arcticfoxienotheretoplaygames-360chrome-v1351030-rebuild-7/page/22/#comment-1239460

why Mini Browser ? do you feel it's faster or do you just like the settings layout better ?

this finding saved me a lot of time and stress as you know when a folder name is way too long you can't remove it but this time the reported error window was somewhat different and I couldn't imagine that could be the actual cause. when you unzip the rebuild 7 you get into the root folder, unlike the rebuild 8 which has an unnecessary additional folder in between I have downloaded the rebuild 8 files onto the desktop which turn the address bar names much longer if I move the rebuild 8 files to the C: root folder this problem won't arise.

Glad you were able to solve your problem! I'm surprised it would be as simple as shortening a folder's name, but sometimes that does help. In general, I find I've had the best luck with 'regular' 360 builds, though all the ungoogled ones I've tried have worked quite well too. You really can't go wrong with any of them.

Many thanks @UCyborg , much appreciated! So, it wasn't actually "new and exotic", just "old and exotic (Googlism)" ... Interestingly/funnily enough, Mozilla were quick to concoct their own implementation in Fx 56.0, which turned out to be problematic and had to be retracted in v57.0: ... Yes, as early as version 50 (!) of Chromium ... ... What I still don't get (being a non-coder) is why disabling JS works around it - and any answer to my uBO-related "plea-for-help", please ?

... Reading a certain MSFN post , it contained a link to below MS support article: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/microsoft-net-framework-repair-tool-is-available-942a01e3-5b8b-7abb-c166-c34a2f4b612a My (main) browser is (latest) St52; the page requested did not render properly : I toyed a bit with disabling recently implemented WebComponents support and restarting the browser, same thing ... Tried Safe Mode, a fresh St52 profile, both to no avail ... Upon further troubleshooting, it emerged ALL UXP-based browsers (+St55) suffer from this "ailment" ... Below is latest NM28 in an almost fresh profile, when displaying: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/update-to-enable-tls-1-1-and-tls-1-2-as-default-secure-protocols-in-winhttp-in-windows-c4bd73d2-31d7-761e-0178-11268bb10392 OTOH, the very OLD 360EEv11 (Ch69-based) has no issue displaying that URL properly: My troubleshooting skills are failing me today , I couldn't get anything meaningful from St52's WebConsole... @roytam1: What is exactly the problem here? Since Ch69 renders "support.microsoft.com" properly, surely it can't be something new and exotic devised by Google that causes the breakage in UXP ... Workaround: While dealing with this, it emerged that my St52 copy can, indeed, render that site OK, provided I disable the JS served; I just used uBlock Origin for convenience, disabling "scripting" selectively on that site alone: Plea for experts' help: I'm not that proficient in uBO's advanced features, can someone among you pinpoint the exact script responsible for the breakage? I spent ca. 30min with uBO's logger trying to identify it, but was not successful (not myself today ...) ; the logic here being to selectively block that script with a custom filter, instead of a blanket "no-scripting" rule on "support.microsoft.com"... Thanks in advance ...

webGL is disabled by default on Centaury browser. despite this the maps work well with it.

@NotHereToPlayGames Your efforts are always appreciated, I really like 360Chrome. Thank you so much for that. Continue on your hard work, and never let people who don't like your personal work discourage you!

A rather funny Serpent 52.9 crash just happened - I was watching youtube for some time and then HWunBoxed video RTX4070Ti against RX7900XT and the message about basilisk encountering error popped up. The video was still going for a while and then stopped and if I dragged the error window all over the screen (which I did) resulted it this lovely picture (attached). When I "click(ed) here" it said it has to do with mozglue.dll or something similar. BTW thank you for the new release, roytam1, starting from last week's each now is much more up to date and faster working than ever before. After a Serpent restart it works normally again.

I was afraid that might happen. Until I can change all the names, you should be able to right-click and select Save-As and then change the name. Also, save to a directory as close to the root directory as possible, avoid adding too many characters to the path name. I've never liked the default "C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\Downloads", already at 60-some characters.

I've tried playing around with my game again. I also downloaded my game from the internet because it has the latest update from Steam. I have decided to keep a file named steam_api.dll Windows XP compatible file, I tried that file with the latest update(November 19, 2022 2.2.2.6) of the game. Because I saw no one experimenting with it. dated file 21 december 2020 Get the game back to work in Windows XP. because of my language display in the game It's been a problem since Windows Vista because developers never cared.

Hello @flameI, prior to answering your question let me please put one at you: Are you aware that this model has an 8th gen CPU, and it's got official support by Dell for Win 10/11 only? That said, i would like to confirm that imo there should be a certain probabilty that a tweak of the 368.81 (XP) driver will allow it to handle the MX130 gpu, since it's Maxwell based as you wrote above. I recently got to work a GT710 with an older driver under XP by editing the .inf (link), however, the difference is: that model had official XP support by Nvidia, in contrary to the MX130 which hasn't.

there's not one, there are multiple patches and beyond 4GB they all are unstable. the patch with best positive feedback was made up by @daniel_k anyway with the chrome360 rebuild 7 @NotHereToPlayGames this patch seems to be no longer necessary this patch is also the cause of some unexpected BSOD which is one of the main issues with the buggy Mypal68 @AstroSkipper

Yes works fine !

My daily use Windows 7 Professional system has been running for 80 consecutive days without reboot, sleep, or even logging off. I'm posting this simply because I think a few members here will get a kick out of it, and also because I'm feeling that itch to switch back to XP for a while. (I usually like to switch between the various computers and operating systems I have.) I booted the system in late March and it's been running flawlessly since then. Not one problem at all. I have (so far) missed 3 months worth of updates, and in my view the system is no worse off because of that. This is Windows 7 Professional 32bit with SP1 running on an Intel 320 series 120GB SSD, inside an 11 year old Dell Latitude D610 laptop with a Pentium M processor at 2.13GHz. Not bad for an old machine, eh?

It seems to be incompletely list. http://blog.livedoor.jp/blackwingcat/archives/2024080.html

Totally agree with you . Though some time ago I literally saved a slow notebook with 4GB DDR2 667Mhz memory using a fast external HDD connected via eSATA. It was used for huge video files editing.

Is it generally slow or is it only slow when doing a specific task? I've got an Intel HD 2000 with an i7-2600 and 16GB DDR3 ram. My computer was unbearably slow booting up and coming back from sleep (like over 5 minutes to become responsive again) and I even configured my PC to boot automatically 30 minutes before I woke up so I never have to deal with the long delay. Oddly enough only moving it to my SSD made the problem go away (It used to be on a HDD that was on here too).

@VistaEX, have you considered vLite to cut off the bloat from ISO before the installation ? It really helps , you should try. I can send Vlite ready-made presets. P.S. to Vistapocalypse. Do you see the key words in the topic's name ? "The best way" , so in the previous topic he just needed help (like urgent, emergency) , but here he wants to find the best way . Well , maybe he wants a batch script to disable all of the junk services at once , smth like that , like in the best possible (maybe the fastest) way. By the way , I didn't see any advice from you to this poor fella in that topic . How come ? Maybe some good advice from a long time Vista user ? No ? And I think our glorious moderators do know how to do their job , they will delete , if needed ! Also , in almost every topic he starts , I see lots of mockery from some certain members . And you , do you have smth to say on-topic ? He would really appreciate . Regarding trying different Windows , he is young and still learning , nothing wrong with that.

I wouldn't touch that. There's an EOL timestamp in recent versions of Flash Player. It can be altered so latest Flash Player continues to work as usual. Find a hexadecimal string 000040463E6F7742 in NPSFWXX_32_0_0_465.dll (XX = bitness, either 32 or 64) with a hex editor, replace it with eg. 0000C02055148042, that will just change the year from 2021 to 2040. It's a unique string, so only one will be found as long as you got the right file. The string represents time elapsed since Unix epoch in milliseconds, stored as 64-bit double precision float number (no fractional part). The DLLs are in: C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash - 64-bit Flash on 64-bit OS or 32-bit Flash on 32-bit OS C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash - 32-bit Flash on 64-bit OS This is for NPAPI version, but should be doable with PPAPI and ActiveX versions as well, though I haven't tried those. Doing this obviously invalidates the digital signature on the DLL. Pale Moon (and probably other browsers) doesn't mind. I wonder if Flash app could check it. Also, PE checksum is invalidated, but that can be fixed with certain tools. I think there's a high probability that altering Flash binaries doesn't cause any side effects beyond what modifications you did achieve.

Which other games don't work on Vista because of launcher? Just curious I know roblox does not work at all and gives DLL errors.

Well you can still run minecraft even on windows 98 until microsoft kills off this old launcher. I hate to think that this is like 4th game I know that doesn’t work only because of game launcher and not the game itself..

Uhhh changing Mojang accounts to MS accounts? Does this mean I'm going to have three MS accounts or will I get to merge the Mojang account with my personal account? Also, I had thought that Minecraft had even worked on Windows 98 up until now. When did that change?

Please, do not post the Extended Kernel binaries on MSFN, with the exception of my own original creations, which are the NTEXT wrapper, the registry keys and the installer script (which I plan to post in one of the code example threads soon, as it serves as a good template for a script to replace in-use system files on NT 6.x).

Hello! I'm new here too and I hope to find many answers to my questions

It will be bad. (My own experience). Desktop works, but that's it.

This thread is now locked! It continues in the thread pointed to in the post just above this one.
