Depends on your perspective. Here's a good read - https://www.webperf.tips/tip/browser-process-model/ As the perfect example cited by someone else here at MSFN (unable to locate at the moment), single-process FF is slower than multi-process FF, but both are "stable".

I'm sure that Vista ended up maturing with age. All I know "living through it" is that when Vista first came out, it rendered my laptop useless and so I reverted to XP. It was basically "that experience" which still has me running XP to this day! The multi-continent global company that I work for *never* ran Vista on ANY of our company PCs. We went from XP straight to 7, skipping over Vista. Then went from 7 straight to 10, skipping over 8/8.1. We (the company) is also skipping 11. Can that be correlated to "every other" Windows release or that the skipped one's were "that bad"? I'd say "not really" because we didn't migrate to 10 until two or three versions in. Again, I don't doubt that Vista matured with age. But I also know what my "first impression" was and Best Buy even offered me a "free downgrade" to revert a brand new PC that came with Vista to run XP instead. To the best of my knowledge, Vista is the only Windows OS that ever allowed retailers to offer "free downgrades". But again I will repeat, I don't doubt that Vista matured with age (I personally never looked back once offered that "free downgrade").

I go to any store in my town, I go to Paris, I have a friend who owns a big shop, I see the same amount of each Windows versions being sold with ready made computers, people will basically buy what they told. I don't know how those, who wrote such opinions, determine if Vista was a "sales failure", are you business owners in huge cities? Were you in business in 2007? The one who made this topic was 5 y.o. (from the public info at his account). Those "seasoned members", who upvoted you, one wasn't even born, the other one was 5 y.o. , the third one is not any windows user at all. I agree with the others, you can't just call any OS a "sh*t pile" here, I don't do it, so why should you? You can't even imagine what I want to call Windows 7 and 8, especially 7. I'm fighting the temptations really hard.

Many thanks @Ben Markson (and @genieautravail ) for your additional, most valuable, input ! ... As it's already apparent , I'm no fan myself of "chatrooms" (I think they're more "youth"-orient(at)ed), but a great fan of "forums", where one can be more verbose and analytic ; I realise, though, I belong to a minority these days ... Yes, the changelog for v5.61 states: ... but their GitHub source repo is weirdly formatted (no individual commit messages) ; the comparison below: https://github.com/mtrojnar/stunnel/compare/stunnel-5.60...stunnel-5.61 is very long and, being a non-coder, I wasn't able to pinpoint the breaking change(s) ; their repo also lacks an issue tracker, so nothing can be reported there ... Their main site claims they still support Windows XP: https://www.stunnel.org/platforms.html ... but probably that list hasn't been updated in a while ... Besides, they no longer provide themselves x86 compiles, 32-bit platform support is now under their "Commercial Support" paid schemes : https://www.stunnel.org/support.html However, there exists a "free" stunnel-users mailing list here , you stand to lose nothing by posting your "issue" there ; alternatively, you can try your luck at the forked repo: https://github.com/josealf/stunnel-win32/issues/new FWIW, the v5.70 tray icon appears and functions as expected in Vista SP2 32-bit: That "weirdness" is to be expected ; other than that, it does appear that openssl-1.1.1u DLLs load fine in your XP SP3 box ; I was somewhat doubtful before because I had read in the past that 1.1.1+ requires, by default, Vista SP2+ APIs to properly function; but perhaps this is relevant only for the VS2015+ compiled builds, e.g. https://wiki.overbyte.eu/wiki/index.php/ICS_Download The 32-bit builds kindly provided by @josealf on GitHub are being compiled on an old GCC version (8.3.0+) with glibc-2.27 (from 2018), perhaps that's the reason NT 5.1 compatibility is being preserved in the produced binaries ... And some final stunnel "trivia": The last official 32-bit Windows release was, as is known, v5.49, bundled with openssl-1.0.2-fips and "the lot" compiled with VS2008, all inherently compatible with XP ... It's indeed kind of an irony that openssl was upgraded to v1.1.1 (TLSv1.3 capable) in the immediately next version 5.50, the first to be only offered as a win64-build ; openssl-1.1.1* was being bundled with stunnel v5.50-5.60, while v5.61-5.70 are bundled with openssl-3.0.x (latest LTS channel); josealf's win32 builds are still stuck on the 1.1.1* LTS channel, though (to be EoL'd next month ) ... And that concludes this ...

Here you are: https://repo.palemoon.org/Basilisk-Dev/Basilisk/commit/894aab8cb56b34f1396c2471e5d792ba6fee893a https://repo.palemoon.org/MoonchildProductions/Pale-Moon/pulls/1928 After seeing all of these domains that are having issues with the Goanna slice I'm now wondering if I should just configure Basilisk to never send the Goanna slice at all.

I'm glad that it works

I don't really disagree. I was just trying to clarify that I'm not a Vista "hater", as the RTM defenders might think. Silly really. I will say though, with the basic theme, SP2 and the Platform update, this unit isn't running all that badly.

A little searching and I am finding that retailers were allowed to offer "free downgrades" from 7 to XP. But note that it was not 7 to Vista, it was 7 to XP.

Go Ahead! Call Windows 7 or 8 whatever you want. They are just operating systems. I won't get hurt, I promise! By the way, jaclaz commented similarly as I did. He is quite a helpful, seasoned member of MSFN, I doubt he was a wee young lad in 2007. Oh neither was I. I was doing system installs back then, and had for quite awhile. The comment supporting the use of Vista RTM as being problem free are anecdotal at best. whereas I'm sure if you look, you;ll find less than stellar reviews on Vista's release back in early 2007. The funniest thing about all this: I actually came to love Vista later on, once SP2 was applied. And even more funny: I'm typing this post on MyPal 68, using a Dell Inspiron 1420 notebook running .... yes, Vista Home Basic. I was the guy who STARTED the thread for Vista Updates using Server 2008 way back when. So I'm hardly a Vista hater. I just chose to see reality. So everybody relax! Sheesh!

Oh, come on. You cannot even enable e10s in New Moon. But you can enable it in Serpent (both 52 and 55). Did you try that? If not, you did an "apples to oranges" comparison: FF with e10s is faster than Serpent without e10s. Well, duh; FF with e10s is faster than FF without e10s too - that's why we have a whole thread on enabling it! (To be fair, FF/Serpent with e10s is quite the memory hog - and still slow - compared to Chrome 86/87 ports. So I wouldn't recommend it unless you've beefed up the RAM in your PC, preferably with 64-bit XP or later so you can get more than 4GB, or at least with an SSD for the swap file.) Technically, you're right about that. Multiprocessing is mostly a convenience for developers. But that said, it does have its advantages for us end users. Beyond the obvious (letting a 32-bit app use more RAM), if your tab crashes in FF/Serpent, and you're running in the default single-process mode, your whole browser crashes! But if that happens in multiprocess mode, you just reload the tab. <rant> And why shouldn't she be? The original idea behind HTML was supposed to be that any browser, no matter how primitive, would render a "usable" Web page, merely ignoring the tags it didn't understand. If you use a browser from 2001, it may look like a Web site from 2001, but you're still supposed to be able to use it, at least. But that's long gone, thanks largely to Google (but also others including Mozilla). Nowadays, if your browser doesn't understand the latest bullish snarkifying operator added to JavaScript in the latest Chromium release, you're likely to just get a totally blank page (or if you're "lucky," a curt message telling you to "upgrade" your browser, even if that means "upgrading" your OS to the latest monstrosity from Micro$oft, and in turn buying a new PC capable of running that monstrosity) because the Web designer used JavaScript with that bullish snarkifying operator to build the entire Web page from scratch! HTML? Who needs it? (With the side effect being you can't disable JavaScript any more, and have to rely on other, more complex means to block the spyware embedded within.) So yeah, we're angry. Not (for the most part) because we intend to use a PC that old, but because we shouldn't have to keep buying newer, more expensive PCs every few years just to keep doing the same exact things we've always done, just because some Web framework developer couldn't resist using that shiny new bullish snarkifying operator (for "security")! </rant>

TikTok comes in two flavours, Android and iOS, I wonder which version of Kaspersky you run on your iOS/iPhone.

My answer to the original question is no. Its adoption will increase with time and more development from other software vendors will be focused on it, in fact it already is.

Just for information: stunnel 5.70 requires the SSE2 instructions set but not stunnel 5.60... Regards

For whom it was "failure"? As an example, Vista's business sales were even stronger than expected! https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/report-vistas-business-sales-stronger-than-expected/ Vista RTM ran perfectly fine on several of my Siemens computers, I still run RTM without updates on a Haswell PC from 2013.

...time passes... A quick postscript. If using v5.70 there's no need to replace tstunnel.exe, it's only stunnel.exe that causes the system tray bug. The bug was introduced with v5.61 so the v5.60 stunnel.exe is the last working version. The v5.70 stunnel.exe does work but you cannot interact with the running instance, this isn't necessarily a big deal as there's not a huge amount you can do. Stunnel runs and it does its thing without needing to interact with it. If you want to download the exe's from github using just about any browser then you can copy the links from https://github.com/josealf/stunnel-win32 (the left hand column) for example: https://github.com/josealf/stunnel-win32/blob/master/stunnel-win32-5.60-openssl-1.1.1k-installer.exe ...change the 'blob' to 'raw': https://github.com/josealf/stunnel-win32/raw/master/stunnel-win32-5.60-openssl-1.1.1k-installer.exe and it will download. I'd like to find a workaround to the system tray bug but otherwise hopefully this will keep my email working in the face of any 'upgrading' my email provider may perform. Ben.

Sorry about that, it's my fault for trying to do a running commentary on something I was still working on – it's what can happen when you get sucked into treating a forum like a chatroom. I removed v5.70, it works (tested with Outlook 2002 email client) but has a weird glitch with not displaying sTunnel's tray icon and no matter what I tried I couldn't get it to appear properly. Went back to v5.60 (there's some indication in the change logs that the system tray code changed with v5.61) and the tray icon is back how it should be. Finally, I took the v5.70 install and replaced just the stunnel.exe and tstunnel.exe files with the v5.60 versions. So, it has the later OpenSSL DLLs but is using an earlier version of stunnel. I'm not sure that this is the best idea but... it works (again tested with Outlook 2002). You can even see the weirdness in the above log (the Compiled versus Running dates). Now, having said all that I use stunnel in a pretty basic way (I am by no means an 'expert' stunnel user) so it is possible that if you want to start creating your own certificates that it won't work. All I'm doing is keeping my ancient version of Outlook working with my email provider who is threatening ever newer TLS standards. Ben.

The code be everywhere these days, eg. did anyone see what kind of headphones they sell these days? Gone are the days when headphones were a pair of dumb speakers you put on your head. Now they have Bluetooth, built-in equalizers, smartphone app to control them, Google Assistant etc. and apparently they may even get software updates. Or a car battery charger that is configurable via app. Have they invented a smart toilet yet?

I technically don't define it as "based on" anything. It's more of a hodge-podge conglamerate. Theoretically, yeah, I suppose it "started" with Fx52. But... St52 can do nullish coalescing operator, something Firefox couldn't do until v72 - https://caniuse.com/?search=nullish St52 can do optional chaining, something Firefox couldn't do until v74 - https://caniuse.com/?search=chaining St52 partially supports BigInt, something Firefox couldn't do until v68 - https://caniuse.com/?search=bigint The list is kind of endless. BUT there are also things that Firefox can do that St52 cannot do. And even more things that a Chrome-based can do that a Firefox-based cannot do. And vice versa, of course.

Since July 10 (made public since July 11) I have managed to run Windows XP x64 SP2 (built using XP2ESD) from UEFI Class 3 on Coffee Lake Windows 11 laptop on winload.efi 16497 using FlashBoot 3.3n bootmgfw.efi and Windows 7 generic VGA drivers by modifying the contents of mounted devices and enum key. I have used the XP2ESD build which contains the backported generic drivers and ACPI 2.0 drivers (from here) to get this to work. So far I tested acpibit64crack.sys from Dietmar. The fact that I managed to boot XP on such new hardware means that the ACPI 2.0 worked! Touchpad doesn't work because there aren't any working XP drivers for Intel Serial IO I2C Host Controller (9DE8 and 9DE9 in my case) to get the Elan1200 I2C Hid device to install using the backported generic touchpad driver from windows 8. USB XHCI controller and USB 3.0 root hub work without problems so I can use external mouse (for the cursor) and USB wireless adapter (for internet). I don't know if it's caused by ACPI incompatibility but I have tried to backport the Intel Serial IO I2C Host Controller from Windows 7 and it still wouldn't work even with Mov's ntoskrnl emu extender files! I have provided the device manager entries of my XP installation (from the enum key) so you can see the information on the drivers installed in my working XP OS.Useful's-XP-device-manager-entries.txt

uBlock Origin Legacy modified by @AstroSkipper - Part 3 (obsolete) I have again updated uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.31b2 in terms of the filter lists taken from the most recent webextension uBlock Origin 1.49.2. Here is the complete changelog of what I have modified: The file assets.json replaced by the most recent one. Missing filter lists in the folders thirdparties and ublock added. Existing filter lists in the folders thirdparties and ublock updated. Version number changed to 1.16.4.31b2-1.49.2 to clearly see which version the source files were taken from. And here is the download link of uBlock0_1.16.4.31b2-1.49.2.firefox-legacy-filter-lists-mod-by-@AstroSkipper.xpi: https://www.mediafire.com/file/q8u6qc8ahjag5tw/uBlock0_1.16.4.31b2-1.49.2.firefox-legacy-filter-lists-mod-by-%40AstroSkipper.xpi/file And finally, an important recommendation to get a new installation of uBlock Origin Legacy working properly and flawlessly. After uninstalling the previous version (yes, the old version should be uninstalled), delete all remnants via about:config and in your profile folder! The remnants of uBlock Origin which can be viewed via about:config can be easily removed by the extension eCleaner. And in your profile folder, there is a file in the subfolder extension-data called ublock0.sqlite which has to be removed manually. Delete the browser cache, too! If doing so, the updating of the filter lists will work like a charm after installing the new version. All users who have important, individual settings or rules should backup them before cleaning their profile folder. On the dashboard page, there is an item called "Back up to file"" to save the user's settings via uBlock itself. Cheers, AstroSkipper

Palefill has been updated to the version 1.27 with interesting changes. The web interfaces of GMX and WEB.DE have not worked in New Moon 28 for a very long time. With Palefill 1.27, the interfaces of these email providers can finally be loaded normally again. No need to run anymore the interfaces with reduced functionality at the moment. A big thanks to martok! Very good job!

First and foremost - start looking for VPN with NO-logging policies and (obviously) outside of russia, cuba , etc. Then look who is the owner and where it is registered. Off-shore islands are the best. Do not use German VPN, from what I read, they are demanded to write and store logs by the German law ! Don't get me wrong though, I love Germans !

And looks like this one is also russian ! Unfortunately I'm quite busy lately and I have no time to do a proper research, so please go ahead and prove otherwise .

I'm not quite familiar with the others, but browsec is a well-known KGB data mining tool. Browsec logs your data, and it’s based in Russia. Besides , even in paid version !: It doesn’t support P2P, It doesn’t support Netflix, HBO Max, and Disney+ Source : https://www.vpnmentor.com/reviews/browsec/ EDIT: Maybe the other suggested VPN providers need a proper research too ? Add reviews from trusted sources ?

Thanks for your hint! I already wrote about these modifications here in these posts: I left the maxVersion at 52.9.* but it can increased at any time (especially for Serpent 55), of course. All these extensions work in Serpent 52 and New Moon 28. I use a lot of them. But nevertheless, thank you for your contribution here! As always, much appreciated. Kind regards, AstroSkipper

Toggle CSP - A custom button for toggling the Boolean variable security.csp.enable from true to false and vice versa in about:config created by AstroSkipper Toggle CSP is a custom button for toggling the Boolean variable security.csp.enable from true to false and vice versa in about:config. The status of this variable is shown by the button itself in the form of an image that changes its colour, i.e. its image accordingly. Actually, I created this button for the specific boolean variable security.csp.enable, but the code of this button is universal and can be easily modified to toggle other Boolean variables, too if you change its code slightly. The user has only to change the name of this button, the string of the Boolean variable and optional, but useful, its images. Very simple changes. It works perfectly in all UXP browsers such as New Moon 28, Serpent 52 and even in Serpent 55. Here are some screenshots: The variable security.csp.enable is set to true by Toggle CSP: The variable security.csp.enable is set to false by Toggle CSP: The functionality of Toggle CSP can be checked excellently and observed live, so to speak, by opening the variable security.csp.enable in about:config and clicking on the custom button. And here is the JavaScript code of my button: /*Initialization Code*/ var prefName = "security.csp.enable"; var enabledImage = "data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAABQAAAAUCAYAAACNiR0NAAAAAXNSR0IArs4c6QAAAARnQU1BAACxjwv8YQUAAAAgY0hSTQAAeiYAAICEAAD6AAAAgOgAAHUwAADqYAAAOpgAABdwnLpRPAAAAO1JREFUOE9jZPgPhFQFIAOpCalqGNi31HQdfQz8R6Gb4drVwLGNwGlQGWQxWAC5Iqnjg7LnwtSD/G0GFYSFpzSQzwTEfWjiIANhPgCx7aGG6COpg6bD/wxuWLzagWYgcgSCDDSG6pmHzcBuHGEH83IEmjxI3A4qpoDNQJBrcMFcpDCDqYFZFACV248chiBJayzGgcLrA5I4SF0tTCOQNsCiByxkBLXlJVTBOSCdA8RiaGEIMnADkoGmuAwEGSqO5C2QxlYgPg8VY4bSoCQCgqFIasPQDMViB2ZI/iFKFUQfCUqJy/WjBhIXTnhUAQCxF7FzNVSQlgAAAABJRU5ErkJggg=="; var disabledImage = "data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAABQAAAAUCAYAAACNiR0NAAAAAXNSR0IArs4c6QAAAARnQU1BAACxjwv8YQUAAAAgY0hSTQAAeiYAAICEAAD6AAAAgOgAAHUwAADqYAAAOpgAABdwnLpRPAAAAOlJREFUOE9j/M/AAERUBCADqYlBzhvpBv6jMAjgYagGiW04ToMajCwGYoPC3BVJHR+UPRemHqTADCoIiyBpIJ8JiPvQxEEGwnwAYttDDdFHUgd2IUjSDYtXO9AMRE4RID3GUD3zsBnYjSPsYF6OQJMHidtBxRSwGQhyDa40mYsUZjA1MIsCoHL7kcMQJGmNxUBQeH1AEgepq4VpBNIGWPSAw9AIastLqIJzQDoHiMXQwhBk4AYkA01xGQgyVBzJWyCNrUB8HirGDKVBSQSkNhRJbRiaoUTl5T94whc93IkykJQCZNRAygtbAOb2sXODGkDmAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC"; this.onclick = function (aE) { if (aE.button === 0) { Services.prefs.setBoolPref(prefName, !Services.prefs.getBoolPref(prefName)); setSelfImage(); } }; function setSelfImage() { if (Services.prefs.getBoolPref(prefName)) self.image = enabledImage; else self.image = disabledImage; } setSelfImage(); For using my custom button with other Boolean variables, you have to change the strings of var prefName, var enabledImage and var disabledImage. Furthermore, the name and image of your new custom button in its editor above the /*Initialization Code*/ should be changed, too. Here is a further screenshot of the button's editor. I have outlined all the areas to be changed with red rectangles: I uploaded the Toggle CSP custom button as an XML file for an offline installation. Here is the download link: https://www.mediafire.com/file/fjgxbc09q4r31s4/Toggle_CSP.xml/file For the installation of this button, the extension Custom Buttons is required which you can get from this post: Cheers, AstroSkipper

1 - Well, the first big one was when I had a pretty hard collision with an obstacle riding my bicycle at 4 or 5 y.o.. Got stitched up my head. Scars, etc. Also, fighting on chains in the childhood, etc. 2 - Then to the same place on the head, but this time riding a heavy motorcycle. I remained alive only because it was the legendary BMW R75 from the WW2 era, like I said - heavy and it rammed through another "modern" vehicle, thus allowing my body to slip through. Of course I had terrible injuries to the head and also broke my finger that was in awful pain for another 5-6 years. 3 - Then my father didn't come to the holiday, like in that Austin Powers film and it all got mental in addition to physical. 4,5,6,7,8,9,..... - Multiple military injuries not even mentioned. How could anyone not become stupid after that ?

My dad had a quite high rank in our local gov. and was very proud of himself. The man with strong ties... All relatives were so proud and cherished him! He was always NOT satisfied with my achievements, I'd even say he was a low opinion of me. He never shared any of my beliefs/points of view. I left my parents when I was 15? 16? or so. Yes, they stil continiued to give me money, also I worked myself. We never shared any common ground with my parents. My dad even missed the holiday, when I graduated from the university. He was drunk, which was kinda weird, 'cause he was not a drunkard, I guess he just found himself a reason not to come ! I'm so glad a you had a fantastic father and very sorry for your loss !

1 - Not Frisians, lol , no. 2 - That's what I meant, perhaps I need to get a new one - before it's not too late.

What exactly do you mean with "another stupid one"? Stupid in the meaning of less educated and intelligent? Or stupid enough to be with you although she knows that there won't be any future for this relationship? Stupidity has many facets and is not always easy to understand or decipher. BTW, we all are getting old. Unfortunately, no one of us is a "Highlander", presumably.

Agreed ! And again, this is very good ! I didn't want anything serious and this was my goal. No serious relationship, no marriage, no children. What I was trying to say in the first post, when they were "clever" in the earlier years, it was harder to find, even when the age difference was much smaller. On the other hand, I still have a GF, which I rarely see now and want to get rid of, I give her only a tiny amount of money, like small (200Euro) presents on holidays. But she still won't leave me ! So what was her goal ? Looks like it's the opposite, she wants to be with me, even though I'm clearly *not* a sugar daddy. What should I do ? I mean she's getting old, I do not remember her exact age, only that she was born in November of 1996/97 (?). But that's a lot for a GF, no ? On the other hand, I'm lazy and don't want to put any efforts in a new one. I mean, I wouldn't not be lazy if I met a Frisian girl, but no such girls here. And I'm not sure if a Frisian one would even want to date a simple Frenchman who owns a big flat in a luxury city in an 18th (17th?) century house with a wood oven and a window AC in each room... Should I look for another stupid one ? Or leave it be as it is now ?

Of course ! But not always. Had several ones who were under the impression that I 'm rich (wich I'm not). Why ? Their "logic" told them if I live in a luxury city and have my own big flat = rich.

Stupid, silly people could be so fun, don't forget this. I mean, if their stupidity isn't too annoying. Let's vote, I'm up for moderately calm stupid people. Though, some raving lunatics are also good, from time to time.

Even Cicero knew that long time ago.

This thread is just too predestined to discuss politics and religion, which is however forbidden in this forum. Politics and religion are always the drivers of all evil. Whether it is poor education or war, everything can be traced back to politics and religion. But unfortunately, any deeper consideration would violate the forum rules.

I've vould told you, that Russian orthodox church, that is KGB - ised, is not the same as christians not politicized ...

Everyone , excuse me for off-topic ! You might be surprised , but I actually studied some Finnish ! Yes I did , back in the early-early 1990s. Of course I do not remember much , but "ihmiset" you're referring to , is already plural too , just like in English ! I find it strange , like very strange (assuming you're Finnish , as it says on your profile). https://en.bab.la/dictionary/finnish-english/ihmiset Back on topic : I have an idea to try out windows 98 (vanilla) on a G31 mobo from 2006 , someone did it already ? Is it stable ? Thanks. P.S. My teacher , a 25-28 years old female from Finland (!), said almost 80% of "Finnish" words came from English . I do not know if it's true , I quit the studies , Finnish was quite hard .

Do you mind me asking what is your citizenship ? And where does this "freedom fighter" live now ?

I should've been more specific , it doesn't even work with the ported DX file. Today I tried to run it on a videocard that has native DX12 (feature level 12_1) and despite what some websites claim (they claim you can run it on a 12_1 feature level card) , it just doesn't run. Says "win 7 is not supported on your current hardware" . But the hardware is supported officially and the game is from official sources.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla doesn't work on Windows 7.

And in my , worked . But with DXVA files , not related to this project. By the way , check your inbox.

I've searched this error , some say it is related to VCRedist 2008 absence , strange , I have them both - x86 and x 64. I wasn't going to use that old chrome , anyway.

Thanks for the quick reply , both versions (32 and 64bit) won't launch . They are just giving different errors , x64 bit shows : SHAssocEnumHandlersForProtocolByApplication not found in shell32.dll And no , I'm not trying the latest versions . It's Opera 60 and earlier. Edit : maybe the patched files are old , but I don't know where to find their newer versions...

Yes, you're right , indeed. Though Vista's device manager says only ksthunk.sys and nvhda64v.sys are being used for HD audio. In my previous posts I wrote about not being able to play any HD audiotracks using Vista SP2 (bypass thru HDMI) , it allows bypass for DTS / DD5.1 only. Weird , right ?

Compared W7 to Vista HD drivers , W7 has more ot them (6 to be precise). drmk.sys (DRM related ?) ksthunk.sys nvhda64v.sys portcls.sys nvhdagenco6420103.dll nvhdap64.dll Ans Vista has only two: ksthunk.sys nvhda64v.sys

I have nvhda64v.sys. Okay , could this be the system's own limitation ? Something in the ksthunk.sys ? When I open the device manager , it says ksthunk.sys and nvhda64v.sys are the drivers for Nvidia HD audio. Also , forgot to mention , TrueHD is not available too , but I don't care about it since I don't like how it sounds , I only need DTS HD MA.

Hi, yes , HD audio (bypass through HDMI to receiver). I've tried all drivers starting from May 2013 and up to 372.70. Right now I have 344.60 installed and will leave it be for some time. I've tried almost all available drivers using both Vista and 7 - the result is the same, no DTS HD MA with Vista , could this be an artificial block which happens upon the installation ? Maybe the installer writing smth to the registry ? I'm just guessing ... If I check with with the panel "playback devices/supported formats" , there are only DTS and DD5.1, so I tried to add registry entries from W7 , now it says DTS-HD also , but it doesn't help to bypass the sound. All Video players I've tried still force DTS HD to be played as usual DTS. I remember there was a similar problem with XP , it had limitations to support "DTS stereo" only . I'm not sure who to blame , Nvidia clearly says DTS HD MA is available with GTX780.
