hi, i'm Davide from a small town in Piedmont (Italy), and nothing more, i like computers, especially vintage ones. for some reasons i like messing around whit them, pushing the hardware and the software to their limits, running thing that were never intended to run on them. to be fair, i like a lot of vintage stuff, from radios, to cars, calculators, printers, scanners, photos... everything. and i don't have much more to add, nice to meet y'all

I know, I was just kidding

Oh no, don't worry, I wasn't meaning at all that you didn't try to contribute in here for once. You also did.

Just kidding, but I try my best too for years actually

I have installed all .Net-Framework packages fronm 1.0 to 4.0 including all security patches in my system. It's not more insecure as Windows XP itself. Truth be told, several programs as for example Panda Dome need .Net-Framework in one of these versions. Without them such programs won't work. So, be aware of this fact when installing new software!

I can't confirm that statement. I have just tested Panda Dome, and it checked a file that a lot of scanners think is malware. While checking it deleted that file immediately. So, no problems here. Good protection as expected. I performed a second test. I copied two malicious files and two clean files in one folder. Then I started a manual scan of this folder. Both malicious files were recognized and immediately deleted. Panda Dome works exactly as it should be. I assume something is wrong on your side. Panda Dome works reliable, as has been confirmed for years by AV-TEST and others. Proof ? Proof ? As already explained in previous posts, I have carried out my own tests with the result that Panda Dome detected and deleted my malware. However, we all know the real security problem is very often in front of the computer. In such cases, a good program like Panda Dome can't help anymore, either.

ive never really had any issues with panda really accept for the random you need .net framework installed issue (which can be fixed by manually installing it)

I really hate these games. Maybe this world would be salvageable if others were like that. But there would have to be zero exceptions and that'll never happen. No matter how many good people you put together (if there is such a thing), it takes one awful person to ruin it all.

I think this might be to do with your WinSAT/WEI score. What does your System Properties show? Graphics scores of less than 3 causes Photo Gallery to disable slideshow transition themes, and you just get a basic fullscreen slideshow without the control bar. It will show at full screen resolution, but smaller images are upscaled to fit the screen. Graphics scores between 3 and 5 gives you the control bar with transition themes, but it won't play at full resolution, hence the pixellation and blurring on the control bar. Graphics scores above 5 should allow you to play the slideshow at full resolution, with the control bar and transition themes. Choosing the 'Classic' theme should stop smaller images from being upscaled to fill the screen. https://web.archive.org/web/20070223111728/http://blogs.msdn.com:80/pix/archive/2006/08/10/694724.aspx This post from 2006 from the developers and comments underneath suggest that you can override your graphics scores via the registry: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows Photo Gallery\SlideShow Type = DWORD Value Name = WinSATScore Value = 100 (for basic slideshow at full resolution, without control bar), 300 (for transition themes and control bar at reduced resolution), or 500 (for transition themes and control bar at full resolution) In VirtualBox, setting the registry value to 500 doesn't seem to increase resolution for me (probably because the emulated graphics isn't good enough), but I have previously managed to do this on a physical machine, and if I recall I think this was what I had to do. However I can't check at the moment due to a failing Vista hard disk and I haven't had time yet to reinstall on a new disk.

Not likely. And I say that as an XP user. I think we XP users think far too highly of our influence in this world.

I got Office 2010 working, thanks! And your program for killing Office 2010 processes is working, too!

Hi @Davide0033, hello from Belgium and welcome to MSFN! I wish you to enjoy the forums! Have a nice day. hpwamr

Ok and okay ... I hope somebody will write this one for me. Roses are red, Violets are blue, A face like yours, Belongs in a zoo. ........:p

Is there any way to use GTX 1050 2GB on GP107 core in Windows Vista x86 without extended kernel? Unfortunately but x64 will not work properly on my Kaby Lake computer.

This is what I've been saying ! They showed us no proof. = no screencaps, nothing.

@AstroSkipper Check your message inbox. I will send you a message with a link to the files I tested with Panda Dome in just a moment.

There are bunch of executable files there for download and one .msu. I just downloaded the .msu, is it good enough?

it's fixed now

*cough* https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Direct3D.D3D12On7 https://github.com/hejmus/win10verhack

I guess, I can't install it from the link provided by you, can I, or do I have to search for it in the Update Catalog?

I've added an exception to the antivirus software for Dism++ and also tried with antivirus software completely disabled - same issue!

I just refreshed my Windows Experience Index, and my graphics is the lowest, which is 5.3, but when I view the images larger than the screen resolution in the slide show, they are pixelated! It resizes them just fine without the loss of quality in the window, but not in fullscreen!

You installed Office on your Windows 10, then copied Office's installation folder to Windows 8.1, correct? Edit: I see now how you got it to work.

Welcome to MSFN, @Davide0033!

Hello @Davide0033, Welcome to MSFN!

thanks to both

if one takes over the dead Basilisk project and keeps using the same UXP platform with no major code changes I see no reason to use it over the original Palemoon now if @basilisk-dev decides to bring Basilisk back with multi-process enabled by default and many other good features that the Palemoon doesn't have then I think it could be a cool workaround. I also started using New Moon 28 but switched to Serpent 52 as soon as I knew it had multi-process functionality

In tracking something else down (below pic), I may have found the bookmark star clickety-clickety-clickety. But may be a long while before I upload another round.

Correct. I think it's beneficial for Serpent users here and for developers of Windows XP UXP applications to have a direct line of communication with people involved in upstream development. There have been very negative interactions between MSFN members and Pale Moon forum members in the past. I think it is time to move past that and embrace the fact that we all are using code that comes from a shared history and to work towards a common goal of creating browsers that break away from Google's monopoly of the web, regardless of if that code runs on Windows XP or Windows 10 or Linux. This was a consideration when I took over the Basilisk project. I eventually decided that it would not be feasible to do this. Basilisk is an application built upon the upstream Moonchild Productions UXP platform. The upstream UXP platform has no XP support and the UXP development team have no interest in XP support, therefore Basilisk will not have XP support. That being said, if you need Basilisk on XP you can consider Serpent an officially recommended option from my perspective. I appreciate roytam1's work in maintaining Serpent and try to be active in this thread since Serpent is a fork of Basilisk. It is very likely that Serpent bugs will also affect Basilisk. Two reasons: 1 - It was removed from the UXP platform. 2 - There were multiple security vulnerabilities in the multi process implementation that Mozilla was using around the time Firefox 52 was released and UXP was created. Mozilla's current implementation is in Rust so the fixes cannot be backported. There is no plan to add this back at this time.

I expected it to protect me, like any antivirus. I had 2 viruses in a folder. Panda Dome showed me a notification saying that it deleted the 2 viruses, but when I checked the folder, they were still there.

Excuse me, could you tell me what is the latest version compatible with XP? I understand the latest one is "PotPlayerSetup-210209.exe" downloaded from "videohelp.com" or is there a newer one.

It's assumed that the browser supports CSS revert keyword. This problem alone can be worked-around by the following user style (using eg. Stylus extension): @-moz-document domain("winraid.level1techs.com") { html { overflow-y: unset !important; } }

... I can also confirm that statement : accessing it from Southern Europe; I'm not familiar with that site, but is the server/hostname "forums.internetfreedom.org" located outside of the GFW (I assume so, because. err, "internetfreedom" is non-existent inside mainland China ) ? Since St52 has its own certificate store, XP's deficient OS CA store shouldn't matter in this case... Does the GFW block access to "fankui.dongtaiwang.net" issued server certs ? (and I see the "taiwan" string in that hostname, so it's more than probable ) ; here's a screengrab of the certs chain when validating the site's certificate: Are you able to VPN/tunnel your way out the GFW and reach that site securely? if yes, you could export the server cert (expires on June 6th 2023) and import it to St52's cert store for the duration it's valid... Have you checked whether the site loads securely on a fresh St52 profile? Have you also tried unselecting the option "Query OCSP responder servers to confirm the current validity of certificates" in "about:preferences#advanced -> Certificates" ? If you can browse SO/SU and similar sites, you'll see that solutions downgrading HTTPS to plain HTTP are not desirable and, hence, very difficult to come across (and your particular use-case is indeed a niche one) ...

Yes, that is normal. There is no such thing as "hardware acceleration" in XP. And as far as that goes, I personally DISABLE "hardware acceleration" in my Win10 installs also. My browser RAM and CPU is BETTER without using HA. Though multi-monitor systems do "benefit" SLIGHTLY in some graphics "lag" by enabling HA. But if your job function requires screencaps from video presentations delivered via browser, then you must disable HA in order to screencap from those video presentations. "Hardware acceleration" SOUNDS like a neat and novel idea, but I've only had ISSUES every time I've tried it in both Win7 and Win10. And every browser support web site you ever seek advice from, one of the first three answers will always be "did you disable hardware acceleration".

CS 2 on Windows 7 runs without any issues ( Sorry for the image compression, MSFN allows a limited size )

It has been a very long time ago since my last post on forum.palemoon.org. The last years, I used this forum to find solutions for problems with addons or websites and still do so. So just in a searching and reading mode.

Sad to say, nothing shocks me anymore regarding (so called) humanity. As I said, I don't know how to avoid negativity in society.

XP is old but millions of people around the world still use it because they have to for whatever reason. Heck I still boot into it on occasion because perfectly good software like Nero 7.5 won't install on Windows 7+. That was intentional to force users to purchase upgrades. Now Microsoft has upped the game with Windows 11 and unrealistic OS requirements for literally hundreds of millions. Hopefully they'll get slapped with antitrust lawsuits and fines once Win 10 has expired.

clamwin seems like the better option to any of these (it's open source I think) and supports everything down to windows 95 https://clamwin.com/

as well as malwarebytes anti-malware for windows xp https://archive.org/details/malwarebytes_for_win_xp#ia-carousel (you have to download it from archive.org now as the original download is gone and I can't find the original page for it)

thanks for the download link @AstroSkipper!

and now they're more-or-less in same level.

panda antivirus is also a good option https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.pandasecurity.com/en/mediacenter/panda-security/panda-security-the-best-antivirus-protecting-windows-xp/%3famp=1 its been discussed alot on here

clicking the star on the left next to the "click to restore" button three times crashes the browser. just add one bookmark and it will not.

On a positive note: I did get to go see the ducks and feed them but it was cut short due to my anxiety.

Hello @NT-Five (not to confuse with @NT Five ) and welcome to the Forum! The MSI H61M-P31 should be an ideal platform for any XP multimedia etc system... - eventually an NVMe seems slightly exagarated, at least for me standard SSD are suffucent in speed in any situation. - You can find different SATA/AHCI drivers here and find out which one fits best for your situation. the Patch Integrator 3.4.0 is applicable for any personal XP-inst.Iso: you either may rename your iso to "Windows XP Professional SP3 x86 - Integral Edition 2022.9.9 (Vanilla).iso" temoraryly and substitute the one inside or you manage to extract the drivers and include them to your .iso with nlite. Best wishes for your project!

I'm definitely not clairvoyant, nor precognitive - but I can spot a trend and see where it's going, and the direction isn't good for XP/Vista email clients. But I do have some good news. I'll always prefer a well-written email client for email, but Web mail has gotten pretty good. Web mail is noticeably quicker and more responsive on @roytam1's latest UXP browsers than on earlier UXP versions. And for now, the Cr-based browsers work well too. So if Google and Yahoo do shut down our email clients the way Micro$oft has, we can still get by comfortably with Web mail.

yup. you said it dencorso. in the end, I'll just make my own integrated & updated win7 iso with all editions included [aka. AIO] but will leave out the telemetry patches edit 3/2: plus these new win7 ISOs MS had may be too big to download for some users who have a slow DSL or satellite internet connection (and do not include any usb 3.0/3.1 drivers for modern machines that use only usb 3.x ports)

yes, it's illegal to post longhorn shots. neowin and paul parrot's website was *kindly* asked by m$ to remove the images. @MCT, you can use "neowin"
