This thread is now locked. I'm sure I don't need to explain why.

GTX260

My 360Chrome isn't un-googled though, and it still doesn't auto-update, at least I've never been aware of it doing so.

Sorry! Sometimes, I am simply blind. I totally overlooked the About window.

... As your "initial" doubting has since been generously upvoted/liked by the known possee , let me again draw your closer attention to my original post here and its first embedded image (which I hope is visible to you ), where it's clearly seen I was using NM28 v28.10.7a1 (32-bit) (2023-08-10), which, to the best of my knowledge, is "the latest release" ... Kindest regards.

The website https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/animation causes 100% utilisation of my CPU on my old computer. Animations of any kind are now killers of old, underpowered computers. I have already deactivated various animations in different ways in my browsers. Now, I have also installed the extension Stylem and installed the following CSS style via copy and save from userstyles.org: https://userstyles.org/styles/180927/disable-css-animations-and-transitions-safely This actually stops any CSS animation on the site above and brings my processor back to normal.

Thanks for the link! Never heard of this driver before. I use the GeForce Release 307.83 WHQL which was actually the last official driver for my NVIDIA GeForce 6200. But we don't want to go into that here, as the whole topic is off-topic. This thread is still about @roytam1's browser releases.

I read it gets back on its own, I don't have links at hand now, sorry. But it was the reason people started to simply remove this service from their ISOs completely, like he did, before the install. And I think delaying doesn't stop from downloading them, so they still accumulate on HDD.

From my experience, the only driver that somehow worked to accelerate video on XP, was the iCafe one (chinese for cyber cafes). 368.91 https://drivers.softpedia.com/get/GRAPHICS-BOARD/NVIDIA/NVIDIA-GeForce-iCafe-Graphics-Driver-36891-for-XP.shtml

For starters, this GPU model is not even properly detected, judging by the screenshots. Memory size: N/A and so on.

GPU usage is not relevant in this case, you need to look at Video Engine load.

It will then not install, says manifest is damaged, better replace with zeroes. Like: https://0.0.0.0.org/board/topic/

If GPU-Z shows the GPU Load on Windows 7 but not on Windows XP, it is most probably a driver problem. Additionally, you can try other tools as for example Process Hacker or Process Explorer which can also show the GPU load. If they all fail, it is definitely a driver problem. @we3fan! Maybe, it will comfort you a little, in my Windows XP system the GPU Load is not displayed, either. This is probably due to hardware and drivers. Presumably, there is simply no sensor for measuring the GPU Load. I have a very old graphics card installed there, an NVIDIA GeForce 6200.

Thanks, I already had GPU-Z 2.15.0 but for some reason it never shows GPU Load for me on XP. Test PC: HP laptop from 2008 XP SP3 + Win 7 SP1 Dual-boot It doesn't show GPU Load on XP SP3: It shows GPU Load on Win 7 SP1: I tested other GPU-Z versions (0.8.5, 2.2.0, 2.4.0, 2.36.0, 2.40.0), but it didn't change anything, it never shows GPU Load on XP. Any ideas how to make it show GPU Load on XP?

Hello @Reino! Allow the website userstyles.org completely in eMatrix! Then, check if you have done that correctly: For google.com, I use @VistaLover's SSUAO Mozilla/5.0 (%OS_SLICE% rv:65.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/65.0. Here is a proof that it works as already reported: This is the link of the website shown in my screenshot above: https://userstyles.org/styles/180927/disable-css-animations-and-transitions-safely If you still have problems accessing this page in New Moon 28, simply delete the browser cache and reload it! I had the same problem. Lately, this website has really become crappy for UXP browsers, unfortunately. Cheers, AstroSkipper

what you really need is:

NTLite has its own support forum/community board since several years: https://www.ntlite.com/community/index.php and it is essentially a commercial software, unlike the previous Nlite (which - years before - was largely developed and supported on MSFN), no surprise that is not (anymore) talked about much here on MSFN (I believe that many MSFN members that are NTLite users are also members of that official support board). jaclaz

Hi, I'm going to present a Windows Vista feature (also XP and 2000) that I really miss in 7+: Start by dragging the Computer folder from the desktop (or if it's not there from start menu) to the edge of the screen, preferably top one. Right click it and remove show title checkbox Decrease it's size Adjust it's features as you want: either select auto-hide or always on top Aside from opening your partitions in file explorer the MyComputer bar allows you to hover over them to see available space and safely remove flash drives with right-click menu. This functionality is not limited to the Computer folder, you can actually pin and use Control Panel and other folders the same way.

I can't see such official statements anywhere on the site. Nothing in the rules either.

Wimlib is only faster for capture. For apply there actually more or less equal. Just wimgapi can use more than 1 CPU core, so it can speed up quite a bit.

What errors exactly? There is indeed some issue at the moment (YT changed something again...😡), as described here. RegexNotFoundError: Unable to extract yt initial data Maintainer @dirkf is aware of it and I'm confident he will eventually fix it. I think it's related to this yt-dlp issue, which is fixed now. Just rename `yt-dlp.exe` to `youtube-dl.exe`.

Can't you use DLP directly in place of it? I think the basic command-line is compatible. Recently YouTube figured out to return 403 Forbidden in the middle of a download, necessitating a manual check for completeness. Recent DLP seems to have a workaround for it.

The new incarnation of "userstyles.org" has also broken an old and widely known "hack" inside the "legacy" browser communities; say, for instance, you wanted to load a userstyle found on the URI: https://userstyles.org/styles/140099/discord-dark-maroon Even if your "legacy" browser wasn't able to properly render that page, the CSS code itself was to be found easily via the URI below: https://userstyles.org/styles/140099/discord-dark-maroon.css It could then be "installed" to your Userstyle Manager of choice through the "install CSS from URI" route: But now, sadly, that "*.css" URI redirects back to the original URI , without allowing access to the actual CSS code ... Speaking of that new (and most evil) "userstyles.org" redesign , it's full of CSS animations (the subject of a recent discussion here), thus a mere visit on the homepage is enough to "fry" both cores of my CPU (FFS , even the Stylish logo itself (top left) is being auto-animated! ) ... ... And I left this for last: Just an indisputable proof of how much Chromium-centric the web has become , making individual userstyle pages display normally under St52 is just a "Chrome" UA away: general.useragent.override.userstyles.org;Chrome Then:

Precisely! You're welcome ; hopefully, you're not part of the "crowd" here that have publicly stated "I don't bring anything new/useful" to other MSFN members; in any case, I still haven't solved the Serpent 52 "case" you reported and I confirmed ...

Ok, I have managed it. You must only change the UA for general.useragent.override.google.com and not the one for userstyles.org. Thanks you very much for your help, @VistaLover!

That site loads OK here (latest NM28, otherwise fresh profile), with ONLY uBlock Origin 1.16.4.31b2 installed (its default filters, only ) : Perhaps you're blocking too much Google-stuff, and their "app" doesn't like that ... In New Moon 28, I tested it with my main profile and with a fresh one. No chance, and there is no Google-stuff blocked by me. I can see the main page only one or two seconds, and then the error appears. Did you also use the latest release of NM 28 for testing?

That site loads OK here (latest NM28, otherwise fresh profile), with ONLY uBlock Origin 1.16.4.31b2 installed (its default filters, only ) : Perhaps you're blocking too much Google-stuff, and their "app" doesn't like that ... ... Can confirm : Seems to be JS related : TypeError: o.user is undefined All these are recent page errors, after the site's (basically, an overbloated "app" ) "overhaul" ...

Unfortunately, a new issue. This happens in the latest release of New Moon 28 (32-bit) (2023-08-10) when visiting the website userstyles.org: Any ideas? Cheers, AstroSkipper

Seems fine on the MSFN pages for me, although I am translating English to English! No error messages though. The Chinese github pages I agree do not do anything when page translate is called, but translation of selections does still work.

Edge Translate 2.4.1 is broken for several weeks now. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/edge-translate/bocbaocobfecmglnmeaeppambideimao https://www.crx4chrome.com/crx/142425/ this is a nice alternative : https://github.com/FilipePS/Traduzir-paginas-web/releases/tag/v9.8.2.0 it is not available in the chrome web store or on crx4chrome.

GPU-Z @grey_rat Perhaps it is safe to assume UXP is still doing it pre-Firefox 58 way.

I use the tool USBDLM. It is freeware, developed in Germany by Uwe Sieber, still updated and compatible with Windows XP. The latest version is USBDLM 5.5.9 from 09.07.2023. This is a quotation from the English version of the homepage to get an idea what this tool is about: Additionally, it reports successfully (connecting and) disconnecting of any USB drives via a systray balloon tip to let the user know when the drive can be unplugged safely. Therefore, I do not need an extra tool for a safe remove of USB drives. Homepage: https://www.uwe-sieber.de/usbdlm_e.html Cheers, AstroSkipper

Indeed you're, but I already wrote: I agree with you. What else do you want me to say? Kafan is raw, they din't bother themselves to squeese out the full potential. But most importantly, only one version above.

Is that a recent image? It also did for me, until recently. Now only Kafan does, but I don't use it, due to the bright theme, too bright.

I use console extensively, hence the on-topic question I asked, I don't want to read A4 size spammy sheets written in poor English, you want to bring fights over and over again, I'm not interested in that. I'm one of the most polite people. And since you acknowledged you use simple apps, you're just a casual user, so there was nothing to "discredit", to begin with. I'm not sorry, I took the opinion of a PhD holder over yours. As for the other user, I assume you meant jaclaz? I know jaclaz for a long time, not only from this forum. Please stop your miserable attempts to create hostility between us. There's none! jaclaz likes when people confirm their words with hard proof, I respect him for that. He already explained everything he meant, thank you, jaclaz! jaclaz, I'm sorry I couldn't reply, got distracted with work. In a wonderful country, where I live, It's absolutely fine to have a second opinion of two doctors, despite both having PhD,. there's nothing "discrediting" in that. Or maybe you meant @AstroSkipper, who also wrote about this? @AstroSkipper,do you feel somehow "discredited" by this link? Please tell. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/how-do-i-batch-change-file-extensions-in-windows/f1b4219c-f2fe-4f25-83de-55ce8e7a71f8

I literally wrote: I have doubts, no need to activate your other senses, I, of course, could simply forget, and I have no shame in it, I don't use XP daily, but what does it have to do with "pain" and "fear", unless imagining me in trouble makes you feel better. If so, please go on, however, interesting would be to know what you think about the on-topic subject, as a long time WinXP diehard. Did you have that function already, or you applied the registry hack that brings it to windows XP SP3? As for your worries about my personal life, I'd better be served in a nice restaurant near my house, with a nice Dutch dish, instead of your word salad, so please, stick to technical information only.

Ok! Thanks for clarification! AstroSkipper

Here is a quotation from BackgroundCMD's website: Your "proper" "command prompt here" does nothing different from Total Commander's "solution" "Open command prompt window". I personally do not use the Windows Explorer for file management but Total Commander. And I don't like too much unnecessary entries in the context menu. Therefore, I can't see why such a solution is not as proper as yours. I think the following rule applies: AstroSkipper

"How do I batch change file extensions in Windows XP, please?" "Go to a Command Prompt and Rename *.txt *.eml as an example. steve" "Steve Cochran, Ph.D. MS-MVP 1998 - 2014" Strip Steve Cochran off his Ph.D.? https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/how-do-i-batch-change-file-extensions-in-windows/f1b4219c-f2fe-4f25-83de-55ce8e7a71f8

Right! This function does not exist in Windows XP SP3 natively but in Total Commander. You can easily open a CMD window in whatever folder you want by clicking onto the entry Open command prompt window. It is located under the menu bar item Commands.

In theory, it doesn't need a hack to launch on win8. Try. For win7, I'm afraid this won't be enough just to patch it out.

No, it's win 8+ https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winnt/nf-winnt-rtladdgrowablefunctiontable

I have them. See below and bookmark this post, so that you can always see them when logged in. [Edit] The link to yt-dlp doesn't change any more. It is hosted on GitHub for quite some time now.

I used it a long time ago. It manages the connections to Proxy Servers. Hmm, wasn't there something? Oh yes, unfortunately off-topic as already clarified and sufficiently discussed! I suggest to open a new thread about Proxy Servers if necessary. I do not use them anymore. Anyway! This thread was and is actually intended for the discussion about VPN in Windows XP.

In this case, you do not need my program package. Take @cmalex's original archive of ProxyMII which contains the naked proxy without any comfort or additional features. The settings of the proxy have to be done by yourself, no automtism as it was the case of ProxHTTPSProxy. Each to his own! Cheers, AstroSkipper

Hello @RainyShadow! Thanks for your reply! All is described in the documentation of the downloadable archive. Have a lot of fun! It's totally easy to setup because I have programmed a fully automatical tool!

@RainyShadow! Everything has been updated as you have desired in your post from 5/31/2022. ProxHTTPSProxy is now based on OpenSSL 3.0.5 and Cryptography 3.4.8. It provides all TLS protocols from TLS 1.0 up to TLS 1.3 and its corresponding, most recent ciphers. A CPU with SSE2 instruction set is no longer required, SSE only is sufficient. Furthermore, my program package ProxHTTPSProxy's PopMenu has been changed completely, improved, and extended, too. BTW, it is quite a bit more than a launcher. And, what do you say now? Cheers, AstroSkipper

Alright! That's really powerful! @mina7601 BTW, I have other more powerful computers but I do not use them. Frankly, I don't like the more recent OSes. Sometimes, if necessary, I use a Windows 7/Windows 10 dual boot laptop. But I'm going to start building a more current, by no means cutting edge computer soon. Just for the purpose of doing things I can't do with my old beloved computer. The parts have already been bought.

I don't like any of the solutions mentioned either here or at other places. Neither tackle the problem at its core. GameUX invocation code is baked in the Shim Engine (I guess it's in %WinDir%\AppPatch\AcGenral.dll). The system compatibility database (%WinDir%\AppPatch\sysmain.sdb) contains entries for 2165 games; executable name and usually some of its properties and/or accompanying files' names for the purpose of matching the executable file to the game and invoking GameUX). It can be viewed with Compatibility Administrator (32-bit) that comes with Application Compatibility Toolkit 5.6 (for Windows 8+, there's Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) for specific version). So the best way is to just tell the Shim Engine to ignore those entries so it doesn't even try invoking GameUX. There are two registry files in the ZIP file below, GameUX_DisableShims.reg disables the entries while the other restores the initial state. If particular game has already been launched before importing GameUX_DisableShims.reg, visiting the game's executable properties, selecting Compatibility tab and clicking OK is required for changes to take effect. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1G45mk_NUtUKGkC2TmREqGx9jhbUlN1RU GameUX shim has been removed from Windows 8 onwards, the issue is Windows 7 specific. Vista has GameUX, but no bug there.
