Thanks for the fix! It works as described in Serpent 52, but unfortunately not in New Moon 28.

I was trying send PM today to Den regards to his health , then i failed to. After Google Search , i landed here. RIP Dencorso , you will be missed forever. I guess , i am late to find this out. My early days in forum i will mess up something , he was always their to help me, he even saved me couple of time from other moderators for breaking rules.

... I beg to differ : then: Sorry, my bad! I didn't notice that I had disabled uBlock Origin on GitHub in the past. Thus, the filter had no effect. After enabling, everything works as described by you. Thanks again!

The error message in broken English comes from the browser itself! No protection installed on that PC. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_English

It'd be very interesting to read your feedback regarding Supermium. You say it's heavy, what's your system? Answer here, please. https://msfn.org/board/topic/185045-supermium/page/

I doubt, it had been discussed about the minimum requirement for 1607, it's most likely there will be missing dependencies, even if you unpack the installer. https://msfn.org/board/topic/185023-future-of-chromium-on-older-windows-10-versions-and-rtm/

Although I had thoroughly investigated the problem cited above, which I observed in Glarysoft's Quick Startup programme, over a longer period of time, I could not find the actual cause why this startup manager is not able to identify system services. Therefore, I completely uninstalled Glarysoft's Quick Startup in my Windows XP Professional partition with all POSReady updates months ago. In this partition, I have since installed a different and even better startup manager. It's the HiBit Startup Manager. More about that soon. Cheers, AstroSkipper

here's the latest version of firefox nightly that works on windows 7: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/2023/07/2023-07-14-09-41-20-mozilla-central/ (en-us) https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/2023/07/2023-07-14-09-41-20-mozilla-central-l10n/ (other languages) the installers for this build block any windows version under 10. so just get the .zip release. be careful as firefox will immediately check for updates and install the latest version (which ofc doesn't work on w7). so either change the update options to check for updates but not automatically install them or use this registry tweak to disable firefox updates. keep in mind that the registry tweak will disable updates on all version of firefox except possibly the developer edition. https://winaero.com/disable-updates-firefox-63-above/

Yes, but it was without the video!

Update d3dcompiler_47.dll is suitable for Windows Server 2012, Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1), and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. That's what Microsoft tells us. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/update-for-the-d3dcompiler-47-dll-component-on-windows-server-2012-windows-7-and-windows-server-2008-r2-769c6690-ed30-4dee-8bf8-dfa30e2f8088 I don't see XP or Vista listed in this topic, no Windows 10 or 11 either!

As posted already, file "Login Data" inside 360EE's profile is where login credentials for user accounts are stored; the file is actually of the sqlite format, but without that file extension (in contrast to Mozilla Firefox, where similar files come with the .sqlite extension); inside that file, ONLY actual password strings are being encrypted, not the sites for which you have created accounts for, nor the actual usernames/e-mails you're using on those sites to log-in; so, be careful with that info, too ... Password string encryption is tied to the machine/OS where the password was first saved/created, because parts needed for their decryption (salt?) are stored, encrypted, inside the host's registry; this is different to Mozilla Firefox, where you just need logins.json+key*.db profile dir files to transfer account credentials between Firefox profiles! In any case, profiles in recent Chromium versions are really not portable across different machines ... 360EE also doesn't offer you an option to actually see saved passwords when chrome://settings/passwords has been loaded, nor does it allow you to export saved account credentials in an unencrypted form (.txt, .json, .csv, etc.) - recent Chrome versions (XP-incompatible, of course) do come with such a feature ... What worked for me to manually transfer account credentials from an old 360EE profile to a new one, on a second, different, machine (from Windows Vista SP2 32-bit to Windows 7 SP1 64-bit) was the NirSoft utility called ChromePass . Depending on the type of your 360EE installation (e.g. "proper" or "portable"), you may have to point ChromePass to the actual 360EE profile dir account credentials are to be extracted from; if you don't have a lot of created site accounts (say, less than 20), then you can manually transfer those accounts to other browser profiles, on the same or different machines... NB: Be sure to first read the CP documentation on its site - for 360EEv13+, Chr86-based, you'd need versions > 1.50 ... Hope I've helped ... Cheers

Yes, and that would make sense to me. But as discussed above, M$ does not let you choose the old UI any more! Once you sign in, apparently you're presented with the new UI whether you like it or not. So, being apparently mandatory, I'd expect it even for folks who aren't signed in. Color me baffled....

had a go at my xp font issue with v2044. replaced modified files like shell32.dll and the original ariblk.TTF. created a new user account with admin rights. changed standard fonts to arial black in all display settings. reset the ms shell dlg and ms shell dlg 2 settings in regedit. v2044 will still not display the fonts as i set it to do. 2036 regedit : HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\360chrome\default\ui_persist_value\FontFamily = Arial Black 2044 regedit : HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\360chrome\default\ui_persist_value\FontFamily = ?? this ?? also appears on the un-tweaked laptop in regedit where arial black bold seems to be mostly working. sometimes these 宋 体 characters are in regedit instead of ??. am not used to any errors in my xp install so this is a bit frustrating. will let it rest for now because i am out of ideas. time to restore a recent full system backup with version 13.5.2036.

Thanks for reporting!

13.5 1030 is much more stable than any of the 13.0 series, I think Dave would agree.

... I beg to differ : then:

Of course, here it is: Also as this thread is more dedicated to this specific section, so I have a little suggestion for the tray : being able (if possible) to change the gap between the clock and the date, as this is a detail that make me crazy me when I use the Windows 7 style, as I'm a bit of a perfectionist. I'm explaining this by the fact the gap is 8 pixels on W7, 8 and 8.1, but 9 pixels on W10/Legacy taskbar (yes, I see the difference, and it triggers me, I always want to... AAAARH! Remove this extra pixel to fix this thing and finally die peacefully). This image I made in January can explain what I have in mind if you want a more "imaged" context: (Click to open at full size) I doubt this is doable but if it is, it would be a nice touch, the minimum is just this extra gap pixel, if it can be completely adjusted by anyone with a setting, it would be even better.

It's just a set of static files that don't do anything on their own. Application Verifier that you run from start menu->Programs is nothing more than a plain GUI application to configure in which processes vrfcore.dll is injected (via Image File Execution Options registry settings) by the OS at process startup to do whatever you've set it to do. GUI consumes 0% CPU if inactive and cca. 3 MB of RAM until closed. There's no effect on other applications. Obviously, you have to configure it for Stub.exe and Setup.exe before you run Panda installer, then you delete the settings at after installation so it won't have an effect on any other Setup.exe or Stub.exe you might run in the future for which the intervention by Application Verifier is not desired. If it wasn't obvious from my previous post, the Panda installer basically works right on XP x64 if you make it think it's running on Windows Vista.

Dude I read that link. You're only strict sometimes. Anyway, what I wanted to know is from people that actually have that installed in their systems. Since I never heard of this application before. Things like this: 1- Does it run in the background all the time ? Or can you end the process? 2- Do you have to run it before installing before installing Panda ? 3- Does it affect performance in any way ? Sorry I wasn't more specific.

Actually Panda didn't work on Windows 7 32 bit for me either. Errors with dot net as well. Anyways you mentioned you got it working on XP64 by installing application verifier and dot net 4. I never heard of this application verifier. What does it do ? You have actually asked the question to the wrong person. @UCyborg got it working on Windows XP 64-bit: Got Panda running on XP x64 And if you had read this thread carefully, you would have noticed that a link was already provided by @WSC4 that explains and documents the Application Verifier programme in detail: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/devtest/application-verifier First read, then ask is actually the normal and correct way.

They're stored (encrypted of course) in a file called 'Login Data' in your profile folder.

... You assumed wrong! I have practically run out of breath in these threads saying that just because St55 has an appVersion (55) greater than St52's (52), that doesn't imply at all "it's slightly newer and better"... St55 is a "relic" browser application, initially seeing the light of day as a fork of upstream Basilisk test browser application, built on UXP Take 1 platform (aka moebius); moebius was mainly based on a Mozilla Nightly 53.0a1 platform snapshot (which, to this day, no-one among "us", even roytam1, is able to trace exactly ), with bits of Mozilla 54 and 55 squeezed in; appVersion 55 was chosen for purely "sensationalistic" reasons... When upstream killed moebius in favour of UXP Take 2 (i.e. current UXP), roytam1 kept that tree and occasionally (monthly) updated it with code from other repos, like Mozilla itself, TenFourFox, IceWeasel53 and UXP; during one of the CoVid19 lockdowns in Hong Kong, roytam1 found the (huge) amount of time needed to realise the task of bringing his St55, engine-wise, "closer" to his UXP-based browsers, i.e. St52 and NM28; let me assure you that, by that time, UXP had progressed so far from its initial fork point of Mozilla ESR 52.6.0, that St55 was lagging way behind it... After that task was (mostly) completed, St55 tries to keep up with upstream UXP and St52, hence weekly updates for it are back, but even now St55 isn't 100% on par with St52, feature-wise ... If you ask me, the two reasons to prefer St55 over St52 are: 1. You're using (the otherwise unsupported) forced multiprocess mode in the browser, since, by inheritance from Fx-53.0a1, St55 has slightly better e10s support compared to St52 (which it inherited from Fx52 - upstream have, by now, eradicated all traces of e10s from their "official" UXP tree). 2. You have a need to use some WebExtensions which target/work with Fx53+, but don't with Fx52 - WE support, as inherited from Fx-53.0a1, is "slightly" better to the one currently extant in St52 - again, MCP have, by now, eradicated all traces of WE support from their "official" UXP tree... In the future, when people in these threads report issues with "Serpent", they should definitely "clarify" which one they're talking about ... As you might have guessed by now , my reason for arriving at #1361475 was solely the generated error inside the log @j7n had posted previously; you (and I) assumed he was using the UXP-based St52 and the "upstream fix" (from 2019) you linked to is relevant just for UXP; has this "fix" been ported over to your Basilisk55 tree already/is it present since the moebius very beginning? If not, I'm still right pointing the finger at Bugzilla #1361475 for generating: Respectful regards ...

Boomers seem a bit old to be the parents of GenZ. Thank you for bringing it to our attention!

TBH, I do not use 10 years old, unsupported browsers at all. And that wouldn't make sense either , at least as long there are more recent ones which is the case under Windows XP. Your statement was: I replied: New Moon 28 is an old, legacy browser but still updated, thanks to @roytam1. And there is no problem to access your linked website https://web.archive.org/web/20140701122330/http://lights.helloenjoy.com/. As I already stated, it is a problem of defining what an old web browser is. So, if I take you literally, then your statement is not correct. The website web.archive.org works in old browsers to view archived web sites. The proof is here: Kind regards, AstroSkipper

In my opinion, Comodo Antivirus is not really an option for Windows XP. If a company places a web page about an antivirus program for Windows XP on the net, but then provides a download link for a version that is no longer XP-compatible, then that It is a sign of inadequacy. Comodo stands for disinformation, their websites are badly maintained and rather misleading. Actually, Comodo should rather be avoided. Here is this ominous "Windows XP" website: https://antivirus.comodo.com/security/windows-xp-free-antivirus.php. The download link on this page https://antivirus.comodo.com/download/thank-you.php?prod=cloud-antivirus&from=cav_installer&track=16703&af=16703 is redirected to this link https://cdn.download.comodo.com/cis/download/installs/8060/standalone/cispro_installer.exe, which ultimately downloads the offline installer of the non XP-compatible version 12.2.4.8032. As a Windows XP user, you feel totally fooled. And in the past, the Comodo websites were no better. Not to mention the program itself. Nevertheless, I will also deal with Comodo Antivirus here in due course, but more for the sake of completeness.

They had different names in the past, for example Vista Firewall Control and Windows 7 Firewall Control. The first part Windows 10 shows the OS which was current when releasing the firewall, and the suffix XP that this version is still XP-compatible. New Windows OS, new name (but they are still compatible to older OSs). For me, it doesn't matter. Important is the product and not its name, though. And the last version for Windows XP is simply great.

With the more recent versions of New Moon 28 (for example the latest from 2023-05-12), Rapidgator doesn't work for me. The problem is the captcha. Here is a screenshot when I use the same useragent like you: :

I'm not your mate (sorry to disappoint, I know you dream of it), and I suggest you to read some literature on how to address people who are not your relatives and/or school buddies, how to behave yourself among well-educated European people, how to watch your tongue, how to be polite, friendly and nice in general. Maybe then people will stop blocking you. P.S. A free advice from your free English teacher. If you use mate, then you also need to spell other words like the Brits do. Otherwise, it's ridiculously funny, when you mix words from the different variants of English, esp. in the same reply. But then again, please continue, I don't mind to have a good laugh ! About @XPerceniol, I'm not clairvoyant, I can't see what's in your mind/heart/whatever.

He was my pen-pal with whom we had no troubles understanding each other due to the fact his English was quite good and he didn't use any form of machine translation . Many things are lost in translation, you konw, his English was alive (like it needs to be), unlike many other foreigners ! I sometimes freaking want to put forks in my wonderful eyes, when I see someone who doesn't know the difference between steal and steel , affect and effect, or you're and your and so on !

Yes, you're mistaken, it must be your not-so-good English. You couldn't make me "happy" or "unhappy" because you still haven't written a single word in his honour, hence I have no reaction at all. I gave you a generic example/template with the dry English for foreigners.

At least, you could've written something generic, like the russsians who just started to learn English usually do. Here, don't be shy to copy/paste. XPerceniol - was a man of honour, he had a kind soul that was seen in his deep eyes, from the bottom of his heart he wrote his posts, for that we honour him.

From your posts, doesn't look like you actually honouring him, far from it. Your first post here was about legacyfan's spelling mistakes, the second one on Friday, about you, you and you yourself and how you were sad, not about him, not a word, even after my posts.

Check your inbox. It's in the last message.

I need a publicly written approval from the moderators !

Thought so.

Port us that driver to Vista then. Will ya ? Maybe ask Compa to help ?

This is usually due to the nvWsS.dll missing 345 (0x0159) "N/A" in COMCTL32.DLL. NVCPL simply can't start . Win32, I suggest we talk here, because he can't even create a new topic, and from what I see, @Dave-H is not aginst it. So we can discuss another drivers here, right Dave ?

Simpler for you . For 382.16 nvlddmkm.sys replace 4E6F with 4B72 AT OFFSET 160 (must be 0000080000 before it) Also 84C0740AB8BB0000C0 with 84C0EB0AB8BB0000C0 @win32, hi , I already helped him to mod, now will you (maybe) help him with the NVCPL, cause I'm done for today. Thanks.

Here I'm already giving you the answer : Search for differences 1. C:\Users\User\Desktop\MODDED_FILE\nvlddmkm.sy_: 14,283,864 bytes 2. C:\Users\User\Desktop\ORIGINAL_FILE\nvlddmkm.sys: 14,283,864 bytes Offsets: hexadec. 160: 4B 4E 161: 72 6F D6C681: EB 74 3 difference(s) found. Now ask him what to do with NVCPL , becuase I'm done for today.

For me, Dencorso was the soul of this place from when I first started visting here til he slowly waned from the forum. He was the first one to reply to my first post/thread here, and to my great surprise pinned it moments later! I remember back during the 2017 crisis situation of the forum possibly disappearing, he'd PM people in charge of projects and pinned threads to make backups of everything important and be ready to regroup elsewhere to keep this community alive. I wish I'd talked to him more, but that's entirely on me... I'm not going to repeat all the good things that have already been said above about this exceptional person, but I would like to paraphrase Den's next-to-last status update (which I think in itself can be considered the manifesto of current MSFN). Indeed EoL != EoS (in this case End of Spirit) and the spirit of Dencorso can be kept alive here for as long as we all care to. May he rest in peace.

Before the instalation replace the following crapware/bloatware with blanks with the same extension so it won't be beatching about missing files and whatnot. flxcomm64.dl_ flxconnect64.dl_ flxcore64.dl_ GeForce_iCafe.exe GeForce_iCafeExt.dll nvsetup.exe NvSplash.exe NvSplash.wmv NvSplashService.exe NvSplash_ZH.wmv pvsonydll32.dl_ pvsonydll64.dl_

Placeholder for additional info.

What is that suspicious updater.exe process ? Even two of them !

I can give you a free advice , yes I'm in a good mood today and I still think we can be friends , esp. being from the same generation . Why won't you compare the original files with your modded files from the same version , of course {using any HEX propramme} and publish the results here ? As simple as that.

1 - I'm sorry, I didn't see where you said about the other files needed to be fixed too. Perhaps I missed something , but you were talking about options and chrome.dll only. 2 - I didn't document it too , but if you think we need a guide , you're welcome to create one and be it's leader . I will publish my own findings there or you can just copy them from here and mention me. I will definitely add on if I remember or find something new. Though, I think 360chrome is not very popular. BTW , do you know how to restore Aero ? I'm tired of that ugly and flat win8/10 skin.
