Thread cleaned, again. If it becomes an unpleasant personal discussion again, it will be closed.

I might have heard the name, but never looked it up. I rarely seek out new music. I'm not sure how those are supposed to be "better", especially the latter two. All these modern communication platforms are alien to me (but then so are humans TBH). I made a Telegram account recently, wanted to join a group I found out about on YouTube for one specific technical topic (just to find the useful content to read) and got banned in less than 1 min. Maybe because I set my name to Pete? Well, jeez, sorry for not putting my full actual name there, I was just looking if there was anything interesting written there. Whatever, in the end I deleted the app off the phone. Wasn't moved anyway, so I join the group and I basically see one long conversation, no structure. Seriously?

One reason I encouraged AstroSkipper to start a new thread was so that the already-overlong older thread could become an expendable “scratch pad” in hopes of sparing his new thread from a similar “hyperinflation,” and this has worked out to some degree.

I can say "I tried" to tone it down. But yeah, I'm done with that thread for a few days, lol.

hi , have you installed Extended kernel and extended core ? http://www.win2k.org/wlu/wluen.htm

I guess another way to look at it is think back and there were things like "Yahoo Groups" and when you think back at those days and compare to today, nobody does "forums" anymore, nobody does "message boards" anymore. It's a Facebook and Twitter universe. WinCert and MSFN and RyanVM, they weren't created to be Facebook. But it doesn't take a lot of looking to see how Facebook "persona" infiltrates MSFN at times.

I don't see that. I see a GIGANTIC difference "pre-covid" and "post-covid". From "road rage" to "net etiquette", the world has changed! It may appear to be Window-version based, but how much of that is that folks running 10 or 11 "never heard of" MSFN? Is there really any reason for the 10's and 11's to be here? Certainly much less than the 98's and the XP's and the Vista's and the 7's.

even the other forum I'm on eclipse (I don't do much there anymore) has never really gotten like it is here (except a few small issues over the years) with the way the world is now pretty much any forum in existence is struggling right now to survive (especially the pre windows 7 based forums)

I hate to say this, but there is definite correlation between preoccupation with legacy versions of Windows and mental health issues, which is why I say: Happy Mental Health Awareness Month MSFN! 🤪

I am a moderator on a Proxomitron forum (two of them but one isn't around anymore). Not much traffic these days but was way more active than MSFN when the Proxomitron Community had a guy by the name of "sidki3003" (if I remember the name correctly, don't have that bookmark here at work). The Proxomitron forum never had these types of "events".

and ive not been much of a help in fixing that (but I will make a change) for the future of this forum

Today I’m just glad that I’m not a moderator here. It occurs to me that the quantity of “antivirus for XP” discussion this year has been disproportionate to the number of XP users who don’t already have a preferred security solution. 🤔 On the other hand, one might expect definition updates for some of the “legacy” solutions to cease most any time now, so a discussion of all the remaining options may yet prove very valuable for XP diehards. Happy Mental Health Awareness Month!

Yep.

I went from a 65 watt Ivy Bridge setup to a 65 watt Skylake setup. There was only a few percent improvement in speed. Be sure to only have 4 GB of memory when you install Windows 7. There is an installation bug that causes a BSOD with more than 4 GB memory. Add the rest of your memory after installation is complete.

there is only a week left of mental health month and everyone seems much happier now (this thread has helped everyone) and I would like to thanks Vistapocolipse for the inspiring thread

Hello @basilisk-dev, just a big Thank you (at this place) for still providing a version of Basilisk for Linux too! Grabbed the tarball recently from here, unpacked it on my debian partition, simply dragged the profile folder from Win-XP and everthing worked well an familiarly! My main and reliable browser: on XP, on Win7 and on Linux - very nice!

@Egorkaru No need to spam this forum topic. It is possible to convert themes from the Mozilla addons site to Serpent 52/Basilisk format, but it will not be easily possible to make them installable directly without converting them first as they are in WebExtension format. New Firefox themes are essentially just personas. In this Pale Moon Forum topic jobbautista9 provides an example of a theme from the Mozilla addons site that he converted into a persona. If someone is interested in the conversion process, it would be useful to review his converted persona and compare the source code of his persona to the same theme on the Mozilla addons site. You'll see in my comment on that topic I provided a link to an old version of the Mozilla addons site on archive.org that has some older themes archived. Some of those themes will install on Serpent 52 and Basilisk.

@Egorkaru Your issue is very special, and a solution does not necessarily benefit the general public. Moreover, the tone makes the music. Your error spam here is rather impolite and counterproductive. One polite request is always enough.

You really need to stop doing this! This type of impatience is very likely grounds for getting yourself banned from MSFN. Roytam only releases his browsers once per week and you have five requests in three days all for the same issue!

Thank you for additional information! Too bad KFA 2019 only seems useful for Vista but not XP x86. (Of course KFA 2018 might still be an option for XP.)

I havent done a update sine 2016 and I was very selective what ones I did install. I use acronis and back everything up every couple months and never have an issue. Windows 7 or death
