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

you have always done a good job here

Nice to get all things work .

Hello, you meant 25495k and not yoltboy01.

There is none: not matter what order I install them, it installs 13-14 updates then stalls!

The issue started happening after I re-installed Windows. I got updates for my previous installation from Microsoft before Aug. 2020.

Yes, I noticed the recent edit on your post stating that.

I did uninstall the crap PANDA DOME for that same reason. not only was it slow but it's truly inefficient as far as security goes. https://msfn.org/board/topic/177099-which-antiviruses-are-known-for-a-fact-to-be-working-on-xp-sp3-as-of-2019/page/31/#comment-1241103

There is a bug with Search Box in Classic Taskbar that if we click on Taskbar while Search Box opened, it doesn't closes the seach box. While in Main Taskbar, if we click on Taskbar while search box opened, it closes the search. This is not there in SAB taskbar. I noticed it today after using my brother's pc. Thanks https://file.io/lhCFB3ohxs8G

I saw this recent topic in the MDL forums about new Win7 SP1 ISOs: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/new-isos.79045/ as well as this blog from this site: https://borncity.com/win/2019/02/15/tip-new-windows-7-sp1-isos-install-image-downloadable/ anyone wanna try out these new Win7 ISOs on their Win7 computers?

it appears that these "new" Win7 ISO downloads have been pulled/removed by MS as I've recently got word from abbodi about them the links to them no longer work

better press [F2] to call out prefs windows instead.

this function seems to be broken for a quite long time

hello @Davide0033 and welcome to the forum

function depends on platform code (i.e. UXP) which MCP removed such function from platform code long time ago, I don't think people can add back this without forking platform code.

It is already removed. There is nothing to decide.

The UXP team has already said they have no intention of dropping Windows 7/8 support right now, but if it came down to it yes that is correct. I wouldn't expect that to happen for at least 5+ years.

bye @XPerceniol ! (:

Ok and okay ... almost 9:30PM and gonna once again look for something on the TV. Was a rough day but tomorrows another day and no sense looking at the past even yesterday and waste time. I was nagged today at the world not fitting into my expectations ... and these expectations only cause conflict because its every man for themselves and I understand that and THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH WALKING ALONE. I think that is enough for today and I'll leave it at that for today and concentrate on improving myself and taking control of my immediate surroundings as I'm not in good shape to be in good company of others. Enough complaining for today. Be true (to yourself) and try to be kind to others and yourself. Don't get me wrong I'm extremely grateful for what I DO have and it could be MUCH worse and I never forget that. Still struggling to be positive and I admit I"m a work in progress. Good night.

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.

That is a kind of "wide open" question. -Why did they not charge for it? They can charge for several types of support. It should be noted, some features were developed to meet "paying" client needs. That kind of support is worth a lot of money. Also, having a developer walk you through your difficulties, while using their product, isn't something you'll often get for free. Especially if it is a big project, you needed done yesterday. -Why did they build it in the first place? To make a standardized platform, on top of platforms that are incompatible. Looks good, If you need something to work; but you don't want to rewrite it, for every platform. Why did they make it for Windows, and not just for *nix and Apple/Mac? If you are going to sell advice, on using a wrench, that advice should apply to as many cars as possible. Although, I'm not sure I would consider Windows users deserving? And considering the result that Java is, I'm not sure what kind of respect it is, that you are insinuating the users/companies deserve. You can hold others in poor or low respect. If Java is the symbol of that respect, I am not sure that you are saying anything nice about Windows users. Note: I mean this all kindheartedly. No actual terseness is intended.

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.

this is what it's like for me also

This is very true. This is also how it looks like to me.

Hi, the problem you describe has existed since update > 22624.1470 Before that everything was "normal"

New build of post-deprecated Serpent/moebius for XP! * Notice: This repo will not be built on regular schedule, and changes are experimental as usual. ** Current moebius patch level should be on par with 52.9, but some security patches can not be applied/ported due to source milestone differences between versions.

good! panda is a very good choice for antivirus (its the best you can get)

So weird hateful people. Why they hearts so full of hate? What's wrong with them? Wow, just WOW ! What an hateful person. Is he out of his meds? I saddened an astonished buy this level of unprovoked aggression and hate. Absolute nonsense. In fact that was true when win XP was in it's prime and "normies" use IE6 or IE7- that was time when you will always catch up so virus very fast. This was the reason i migrated on Firefox around 2007 - tired of viruses exploiting million holes in IE. With all XP updates and using unique browsers like New Moon + Ublock, - chances of virus infection is extremely low. 99.99% modern viruses now can not even work in XP now - they code is incompatible with it anymore. P.S. Speaking about old Operation Systems, i have question. I recently watch a lot of YouTube channel "Action Retro", when retro enthusiast upgrade to unusual fast level Apple PowerPC machines. And one of they major problems - they not having modern browser anymore - cause they tied to Tiger and Leopard OS and they "forks" like Sorbet Leopard and they only(?) developer of they own Firefox fork TenFourFox abolished project, so they left without modern update internet browser. So i wanted to ask Roytam1 - how hard it will be to recompile latest NM28 to PowerPC machine? Is it really possible to do even once as experiment? I just wondering.

comodo from what ive seen also still support xp with some versions https://antivirus.comodo.com/security/windows-xp-free-antivirus.php (it works up to a certain version that I have not found yet)

Thank so much guys, for the support. @legacyfan I think I did watch the first season way back and I did enjoy it so maybe time to give another whirl. @mina7601 when it comes to these meditations videos they are long and not meant to play to the end, only when you've had enough Lol. I purposely selected around 741Hz frequency because with the right headphones it will promote removal of toxic energy and allow the mind to shift focus away from that and I liked that in the video that looks to me like a long walk on a road by oneself and surrounded by just clarity apart form the input of people ... I'm not promoting any agenda and there are drawbacks to being a loner, but for some, its a better alternative for those that struggle with being social such as myself. Please check out the comments on that video - they helped me last night and into today - today was not too bad actually. Ugh ... mercy me I need to get my sense of humor back - I"ll get there and either cheer up (sometimes people take offense to such) or *Perk Up* and allow love and light to make no more room for despair. OK and okay: So.. Here's one. What did one plate say to the other plate? Dinner's on me.:D

Thank you, Mina, good to be back. Still not at my 100% yet but getting better every day I think.

The Windows Live Essentials installer on Microsoft Update Catalog is the web version, which unfortunately doesn't work since January 10, 2017.

We are waiting for @XPerceniol... we are hoping... You have our support! - hmm his recuperation could be prolonged and we must be patient.

just ho i wanna see fast food in my land ^^

I am here.
