It's very different to me. Past forums I have been on were very topic-limited. MSFN has a much broader base and topics are like sinusoids. Lots of ups. Lots of downs. Active threads jump around quite a bit. You'll have one month were the "overactive" thread is all StartAllBack. The next month the "overactive" topic is a Roytam thread. The next month the "overactive" thread is XP antivirus. That's a very broad base and I have to put "filters" in place to HIDE (out of sight, out of mind) when uninteresting-to-me "overactive" topics make the topics that I am interested in seem like a needle in a haystack. The drama and elitist attitude, I tie that to this being a "pensioner hangout", which I definitely see it as. Think of a teenager - they "know it all" but don't really know anything, doesn't prevent them from coming across as "know-it-alls". The "pensioner hangout", on the other hand, is at an age with "years of wisdom" but still the arrogance of not fading into the sunset and handing the reigns over to the next generation (whether they are prepared to take the reigns or not we kind of have to blame ourselves, we brought them up, afterall). Or something like that...

I understand you perfectly! I just counted TEN posts by D.Draker in this topic (and another 3 by Cocodile), so Happy Mental Health Awareness Month! 😂🤣🤪

StartAllBack 3.6.5 Note: it's not pushed yet to automatic update. 3.6.4 may direct you to downloading update manually.

I can at least give XP users an idea of what version of Comodo to search for if they want to attempt it. I was able to install CIS 12.0.0.6810 on Vista x86 in March 2019 but did not keep it for long. WinClient5270’s list shows 12.0.0.6870 as the last version of Comodo Free and CIS for Vista, and Note about Windows XP / Vista at the following link states, “CIS 12.0.0.6882 and above does not support Windows XP or Vista, period” (among other discouraging words). I don’t know of any official download link and actually doubt that SHA-1 definitions are still being provided. https://help.comodo.com/topic-72-1-772-9552-.html

I can assure you that if you spend time correcting coworkers' typos, this WILL hold you back in life. It's actually impolite and somewhat akin to a "superiority complex". I guess unless you work for a newspaper and strive to become Chief Editor. edit - perhaps a better explanation -- you're not the first to correct typos and MEANINGLESS (in the grand scheme of things) typos and grammatical errors here at MSFN, the next time you see somebody doing that here at MSFN, ask yourself if you want to be lumped in with that person and have all the rest of MSFN stereotype you as "one of those people". Most of "those people" tend to always land on "ignore lists" because of the "superiority complex" that they unconsciously convey. I do not direct that to you, of course. You asked me to explain and that's my explanation, typos are MEANINGLESS to me, whether I am reading them or whether I am typing them, simply MEANINGLESS, lol.

The only volume control with this configuration is by using WAVEOUT.EXE, which should be in your Windows folder. The normal Windows mixer facilities are not available.

Sorry, should have said I meant it mostly in the behavior department. Don't have much actual reference to compare other aspects, other forums seem very crowded with a lot of topics popping up in a short time period. MSFN seems easier to keep up with, though TBH, I don't really get much out of here, especially since I daily drive Windows 10, only every once in a while, but also my computers work for the most part and I can't think of anything I'd want to change, some tweaks are in place to make it more pleasant to use (or just look at ), so I guess it's just an old habit that I still come here since I don't have much other places to go. Just wandering through life because what else can I do?

Hm, pretty sure drama and elitist attitude of certain legacy Windows version users was already a thing pre-COVID. This whole place doesn't seem much different from other places to me. MSFN remains the home of OldNewExplorer, StartAllBack. I guess these two programs just work. I don't think MSFN ever intended to focus specifically on old or new. XP was latest and greatest in the earlier years, you know, though I do have the impression that over time, the forum became the pensioner hangout. I'm not sure even the person responsible for the forum still standing actually cares about the legacy Windows versions.

A link might have been helpful.

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