I'm currently running Windows 98SE on a Ryzen 9 3900X platform - on bare metal. Also Windows 95. From what I saw online - on the Intel side - Windows 98 installation process usually ends into a "Windows protection error"/ "VCACHE error". (on very modern hardware) There are a couple of videos on YouTube with failed installations on 9th gen platform. I got recently a H310 motherboard/i3-9100F @ 3.6Ghz and it looks like you can install Windows 98 on 9th gen hardware... Here are a few tips: do not use himemx or R. Loew memory patch (you can use R. Loew's patch when you're done with the installation ) use himem.sys with /M:1 (try other machine types, like /M:14 for HP). Use /v to get a nice comforting message from himem.sys make a fresh primary bootable partition using fdisk from Windows 98 boot disk. Try do disconnect other drives when installing, you can reconnect them later... use a PCI to SATA/IDE controller use PCI-E to PCI adapters, they are cheap and reliable there is a new patch in town regarding new CPUs(patcher9x) *Obviously I can't recommend using very modern hardware with Windows 9X for a dedicated machine, but if you can set up a dual boot machine (with some PCI hardware dedicated to 9x), I think it's a very nice option to have. **Nice option from BIOS to report USB storage as FDD or HDD. Below a 256MB floppy...

lmao

StartAllBack 3.6.3

Only if the WebGL or embedded Google Translate features are required. The other changes were minor cosmetic changes.

Indeed ! Page 3 to be exact. https://msfn.org/board/topic/175170-root-certificates-and-revoked-certificates-for-windows-xp/page/3/ Cheers !

it's spoiled.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1594270 saw this recent comment regarding Win7/8.x support for Firefox:

PRIME H310M-E R2.0 BIOS 1007 Version 1007 9.07 MB 2019/10/14 - I will update to the latest BIOS and report. I just got this board yesterday... There was a "Windows protection error" that was causing a dead end initially. This error occurred right after the first restart - this is the usual business when installing on newer Intel platforms. No mention about "VCACHE" which also is a "Windows protection error". I did disabled many CPU options in BIOS but in the same time I started a fresh installation using another drive and a dedicated controller, most likely the new hardware made the difference. I never used an AHCI driver to install Windows 98. I did install R. Loew's patches afterwards. For compatibility it's the best to have a dedicated old school SATA controller, because there are no patches for Windows 3.11/95 etc.

I have thought about using the "Mini PCI-E", from a laptop Wifi module. You can get a "Mini PCI-E" ribbon, to make it an external interface. Then you would need something to convert it to PCI-E, and connect to something like this. Then you could "potentially" use a Win9x PCI video card. Or maybe something with this, this, or this. I've had some laptops that won't pass post, unless the original device is installed. But not that many. Otherwise, I have no idea it this would work. It doesn't help, if you are on the go. If it worked, it would provide an option for at home. Older laptops use "Mini PCI". That might work too, but I wonder if vendors did more non-standard things.

Not for the 965GM. For 865g*, yes. There is an awful lot of machines, in the world. But there is nothing, at the tip of my tongue. I haven't seen any, that would provide Win9x 3D acceleration. There was mention of a Trio64, but I don't think that chip is going to do what you want (too old). Maybe, and this is a big maybe, you could replace the heatsink and just unplug the fan. Though, this is custom work. A micrometer would be nice, to let you decide how much space you have. If the replacement was all copper, and maybe even covered a larger area, you might not need the fan. The copper bar, on the heatsink, is a "heat rail". It is designed to transfer the heat, to where it can be cooled. It goes to a pretty small aluminum finned cube, that the air vents through. Compare this to modern designs, and the amount of heat being dealt with is much less. You might be able to get away with a full aluminum/graphite heatsink. But copper would improve your chances. Essentially, I'm trying to point out how small/thin the copper heat railing is. By modern standard, that doesn't move much heat. I think this is a "Pentium II"? It is a given, that desktop CPUs are more powerful and run hotter then their laptop CPU siblings. Not very often did the desktop slot "Pentium II" CPUs have fans. They just had a fair amount of aluminum on them. I've never had a desktop socket "Pentum II", but I am sure they only had fans because of the smaller heatsink. Some slot "Pentium III" CPUs had no fan. So you only have a fan, because of the small space and the cost of copper. Edit: This is an interesting idea, for a heat sink. The Wyse Cx0 has a vent, right above that. If you think about the Toughbook CF-18, it has a flat aluminum heat sink; it spreads out under the keyboard. The CF-18 has no vents. I can't remember which model, but I've seen a Toughbook using nothing but copper heat/thermal railing, for cooling. It has something like an "X" design, with the center over the CPU/GPU area. There are options for utilizing the space you have. The "X" design could branch out, where ever you have space. But the Wyse Cx0 design might be easier to mount. Laptops using screws, to mount the heaksink, may make the job easier; just re-use the same screw posts and maybe even screws. A mod that does not alter the device, makes it easy to restore the original configuration. On some of my machines, if you select external display (bios), it works just fine. Display cloning also works; when its a bios option. It is less likely to work, through "Display Settings". Dual independent display, may not be an option.

... For starters, you shouldn't do that (when testing), as palefill conflicts/interferes with native WC: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?p=237202#p237202 From Moonchild himself: Second, I have always been talking about Serpent 52 (actually, its previous version of 2023-03-02); but just to humour you and be on the same ground as you, I did launch a quasi-fresh profile of latest NM28 [v28.10.6a1 (32-bit) (2023-03-10)], where I installed and enabled palefill-v1.26 and then restarted it, for good measure... My GitHub testing repo this time is https://github.com/violentmonkey/violentmonkey/commits/master At first load, the relative timestamps do appear (in the "hours" range) - this is now with both palefill+native WC enabled, as you suggested; now try and continuously soft reload that page (by clicking the "reload current page" toolbar button); soon enough you'll get (I did, on my 5th attempt ) the missing timestamps bug: If, like me, you spend hours inside GitHub, then you "can't miss it"; this bug exists, as I've tried in fresh profiles (mainly St52, but lately NM28, too) and combinations of: a) native WC+SR enabled, palefill disabled (recommended by Moonchild) b) native WC+SR enabled, palefill enabled c) either of the two above, being c1) logged-in to GH or c2) logged out from GH The only combination (for me) where the relative GH timestamps remain permanently fixed is d) native WC+SR disabled, palefill enabled FWIW, with the above combination, the (latest) NM28 with fresh profile used to generate above screengrab consumes virtually 0 CPU when being minimised here: Conclusion: Everyone's setup may behave slightly differently, in a stochastic fashion , and this makes troubleshooting and fixing bugs quite a daunting task on the part of the devs ... Best regards.

As I suspected. You have WebGL enabled! So you seem to NOT be using the loader.ini CORRECTLY because you screencap'd that your loader.ini has WebGL "disabled".

Hi Computer Dave, Thank you for your donation of 20.00 USD. We look forward to improving the forums with your donation. Thanks MSFN

Open chrome://gpu and post this section as a screencap -

To be sure, try this WebGL test link (which I already posted on the previous page): WebGL Browser Report: https://browserleaks.com/webgl - another WebGL test on get.webgl.org: https://get.webgl.org/ - too try chrome://gpu - thanks for this reminder to ArcticFoxie... - it's not the case in my Windows XP SP2... but it doesn't matter to me.

POSITIVE. The map requires WebGL. I am only running side-by-side because they are both inside their own VirtualBox VM. It is not advised to run several versions side-by-side within the same OS Environment.

... The GH timestamps bug isn't limited to commits view/issue comments etc., and when "minutes" only; e.g. I just loaded https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases/tag/1.47.5b13 and tada : ... Reminds me of palefill issue no. 60 (different but related, sort of ): https://github.com/martok/palefill/issues/60 ...

Also no Administrative Tools option in the program pls fix.

why

Hello, you downloaded from https://github.com/GeorgeK1ng/ViStart/releases/tag/ViStart_v8.1.5258, correct? If yes, then that's the wrong file. At the main topic post, you will find a Download section, showing links to ViStart-all.exe and ViStartSkins-all.exe. Here are the links: ViStart-all.exe https://mega.nz/file/KNVzkbDC#fVzi_YuMmTAfu4AwV6O88QPX3IJ9LvpmjHrS910ytlQ ViStartSkins-all.exe https://mega.nz/file/yE8hRapS#WHh2Z4HqwJP-Dw8tW-2nFX-7Fd7by3m7Dq9X3SLcv9M These are the files you should download.

Tried to check this in New Moon, but now the timestamp is 1 hour, so I' ll have to wait another hour to confirm this behaviour.

Hi all ... Over the last 7 days or so, I have been browsing GitHub with the palefill extension disabled, thus making use of the recently corrected+improved native Web Components + Shadow Root support (i.e. "dom.webcomponents.enabled;true"+"dom.getRootNode.enabled;true); this is with previous Serpent v52.9.0 (2023-03-02) (32-bit), because with latest I get xul.dll crashes on GH 404 pages (see previous posts of mine). With native WC I get overall better performance on GH compared to when using palefill (both the prefs I mentioned above should be toggled to false when using palefill, BTW), an added bonus is Turbo (aka "soft navigation") is now working on GH (palefill specifically disables it/is incompatible with it ) ... But I've stumbled upon an irritating bug: GitHub timestamps ; when those are in the "minutes range" (e.g. 20 minutes ago), they pull a disappearing act ... Several minutes ago I loaded https://github.com/roytam1/UXP/commits/custom and took below screengrab: These timestamps are (or should be) dynamic, i.e. after 1 min has passed, their values should increase by 1 (so the one on latest commit should read "16 minutes ago"); give it a minute, boom, all timestamps vanish : To make the timestamps display in their updated state/values, you have to hard-refresh (CTRL+F5) the page (and even that occasionally fails) ... The same thing happens with comment timestamps inside a GH issue tracker; I can't hard-refresh the page while in the middle of writing a comment myself, yet I still need to have a way to tell how back (in minutes) the recent comments above (the one I'm about to submit) were posted ... Can someone with access to "upstream" (e.g. @UCyborg ) relay this bug to them, so, perhaps, it could be investigated and, hopefully, remedied? Many thanks

thank you everyone for the support ive noe updates my certificates using this and am now playing minecraft on windows 7 (this fixed it)

Microsoft Office, definitely!

In MBR style disks the booting sequence is either: BIOS->MBR->PBR of active (primary) partitiion-> NTLDR (and NTDETECT.COM)->BOOT.INI->choice of OS or BIOS->MBR->PBR of active (primary) partitiion-> BOOTMGR ->\BOOT\BCD->choice of OS The "fixboot" command in XP recovery console simply re-writes the PBR (bootsector) code with the one designed to invoke NTLDR. The equivalent in a "full" system (Vista or later) is bootsect (with the /NT52 switch), NO idea if there is one in Longhorn nor which type of code it writes, some details on various versions: https://msfn.org/board/topic/171749-bootsectexe-various-versions-compared/ Since longhorn/shorthorn is midway between XP and Vista it is possible that the version you installed (that clearly needs to use NTLDR as it is fixed by the XP recovery console) *somehow* writes the bootsector invoking BOOTMGR and then Vista does not recognize the install (basically because there is no BOOTMGR not \boot\BCD. Third party, both bootpart.exe (by Gilles Vollant) and MBRFIX.exe (by Kaare Smith) should do (create a bootsector invoking NTLDR[1]), see also: http://reboot.pro/index.php?showtopic=5251 Something that you can try (as it costs nothing) is to make a copy of NTLDR and save it as BOOTMGR along NTLDR, very likely the bootsector loading code is the same for both. As a matter of fact at least in some versions of the boot code - on NTFS - it is possible to change the pointer to the string with the name of the loader as both strings NTLDR and BOOOTMGR are present (on FAT/FAT32 you need to change the actual name). Of course IF my guess is correct, the "XP" code invokes NTLDR and has the message "NTLDR is missing" the "Vista" one invokes BOOTMGR and has the message "BOOTMGR is missing", your longhorn code could be invoking BOOTMGR but still have the "NTLDR is missing message", but it may well be any other type of problem. jaclaz [1] though it has to be checked if it is possible to do that on a NTFS volume, very likely both tools can only deal with FAT (16 or 32) volumes, so they would only work if you use a (small) Boot partition (what Microsoft would call System) and bootsect.exe remains the only simple tool to fix the issue

Generally speaking, most moving companies will offer some level of financial responsibility for your belongings during the move. This may be referred to as "valuation" or "liability coverage." However, the amount of coverage may vary depending on the company and the type of service you're using (e.g. full-service moving, self-service moving, etc.). Additionally, it's important to note that there may be certain conditions or exclusions that could impact the company's financial responsibility for your belongings.

Working for me in v13.5 which is the same rendering engine as v13.

There are differences at 2910, 21370, 3137C, 28362. The source of the program code is held by Intel. You can use PE Tools by NEOx to update PE checksum. The checksum is the sum of all 16-bit words of the sys file excluding the checksum in a 16-bit unsigned integer, and the file size.

Agreed. It has my city off by 181 miles.

I get this error trying to use it under Vista.

KB2729094 is a very old update, released in 2012, where Windows 8.0 was released at that time, which had black-and-white emojis.

I don't know about this, since I don't dig deep inside files, sorry.

The solution to this is to install K-Lite Codec Pack.

Just to let you know, Windows 2000 Datacenter Server is kind of a weird and different beast. If my memory serves me correctly, it wasn't even really released as a retail product but rather with actual servers. I don't want to call it an OEM product exactly, but I think it was released that way. I have tried it in the past myself and I never got it to work correctly. I think certain things are stripped out of it simply because it is a server product designed exactly for what it says, a datacenter. It was never meant to be used in a workstation environment. However, Server and Advanced Server do function more as a workstation OS with server capabilities. I'm assuming you want to use Datacenter Server because of the extra memory you have installed? Using Blackwingcat's extended core, you can enable PAE using the /PAE switch in the boot.ini file and it will see all your memory. However, I've never found it to be completely stable. If anyone wants to correct me, please feel free to do so! I haven't used Windows 2000 in a few years now so my memory of it might be fading some. I know there was an issue with the newer extended core versions. It seemed to me I had to use version 12a to get it working again. Unfortunately, I can't test it anymore because not only am I no longer running Windows 2000, but I have one large monitor now instead of two smaller ones in dualview mode. I don't know if Blackwingcat ever got it working or not in newer versions. Like I said, I can't test it anymore.

It will also work for Windows 7. In this menu, enable both SSL 2.0 and 3.0, and TLS 1.0, 1.1, 1.2.

There's no such thing as gtX 1030, only GT 1030 (which would be shown on the box of the card you claim to have bought). The only plausible explanation on why you came up with different names - is to spam the forum with numerous duplicate topics . You already asked about your non-existent "GT1030 Ti", then changed to "1030 LPE" and asked again. https://msfn.org/board/topic/184503-drivers-for-the-gigabyte-gtx-1030-lpe-on-vista/?do=findComment&comment=1240476 And all of that you're asking about - was answered in the past for a million of times. And again, only one card named GT 1030 exists in the wild https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/212328/212328 @Tripredacus

The best I have found so far, is that it has an application (probably Win2k/XP) that lets you control the CPU and fan speed. Many laptops have such an application. Maybe theirs offers a low power fanless setting. Unlikeliness - That GPU probably needs to be fanned. Potential - There are versions with Pentium-M and Pentium-4. Pentium-M is usually higher processing potential, with less voltage. But I don't actually know that much about mobile Pentium-4. I avoided them, after a friends P4 Thinkpad got so hot it warped the fan vents. The Pentium-M reverted back to earlier high-end Pentium-III designs; which in turn paved the way for core-duo and so on.

I don't know how the, variable speed, fans are wired. I think they are three pin. There may be a way to trick the bios. It may be enough to just pass the post test. It doesn't seem like they test all speeds and performance. I haven't played with it yet. I have a T40 I could test on, or maybe a T41; if it is functional.

No fan. They are sometimes used in the desert. You cannot have sand blowing into the fan vent. Many models are said to survive being dropped into water, by design. The harddrive caddie, and the rest of the system, are designed to resist moderate impact. They have some office models, they have fans. But you can tell by the simple appearance, that it those are not "rugged" laptops. I've had the CF-29 and Cf-18. No fans. I bought a "non-functional" CF-28. I gutted it, to use the shell, for a custom "Banana Pi" laptop build. It had no fan.

Then you could let us know how to do it It is always interesting to see peoples experience, with machines I don't own.

The best match, I have seen, Is the Panasonic ToughBook CF-28. There are different models, some fall under the aim. It is also not as nice looking, compared to some of the others. You can get a Display with 1024x768 (touchscreen only has 800x600) Intel 830MG (up to 32Mb), CPU Pentium-M (maybe III) @ 1Ghz-800Mhz, AC97 audio, Maximum memory of 512Mb, Up to 10hrs (with two batteries, 4hrs with one), 2 PCMCIA slots, but I can't tell for certain if it is USB 1.1 or 2. I'm guessing, if Pentium-M, it would be USB2. A 800Mhz Pentium III, might have USB1.1. If it was USB1.1, a PCMCIA card would fix that. But I have bough some PCMCIA, cards that don't always work reliably. The issue with a ToughBook, is getting one in good shape and including the harddrive caddie. A nice one can sometimes be too expensive. These machines have been used by the Construction, Police, and Military. Some of the used ones are a bit worn. Being a nitpicker, I often dislike Laptops with on-board memory. If that memory goes bad, you are stuck with it; unless you are skilled in circuit board repair. The Toughbook has 256Mb on-board with a slot for 256Mb expansion. Note: I don't know how well the Intel 830MG performs, with 3D. I'm just assuming, that with up to 32Mb of unified memory, it does fine.

KB5022872 update just came out 2/14. check if this new update works (or not)

ok die hard win7 users start installing/testing the KB5022872 Feb. 14 update whether it works or not on Win7 editions other than Win7 embedded standard & Server 2008 R2

It's also included in the Windows 7 SDK (GRMSDK_EN_DVD.iso), still freely available straight from MS. Those who don't want to install the whole thing can use something like lessmsi to extract ReBase.exe from \Setup\WinSDKTools\WinSDKTools_x86.msi and its adjacent cab1.cab. And those who don't want to download the entire 500+ MB SDK from MS can use Archive.org's browsable ISO content to only get these two files.

Good luck Adriann on your move, ha I made many mistake on my last move. Found myself almost without a place for some time cause I made some rushed planning. Whether you own many possessions or very few it will go well, just don't go about it alone like I did! -TheSaga

they had many products, some never got to see daylight in official waters

Good luck with that....
