@nicolaasjan BTW, you are welcome to post your corrected Dutch language pack in my thread Extensions and custom buttons for UXP browsers - Corrections, modifications, adjustments, and special recommendations.Then, I would list it in the second post of my thread, as I already did for my German language packs, so that users can find it much more easily. Only if you want, of course.

You could try updating the UCRT files https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2999226/update-for-universal-c-runtime-in-windows

No, I mean the file content.dtd which is located in the omni.ja file in your current programme folder of New Moon 28. However, not the omni.ja in the main folder but the one in the subfolder browser. You only have to extract it then. The omni.ja is an archive file which can be extracted by 7-Zip, for example. After extracting, you will find the file content.dtd in the subfolder /chrome/en-US/locale/browser/preferences. Hope I could help you.

Under browser\chrome\de\locale\browser\preferences\, for example, new entities were added to the file content.dtd starting from line 33 jsOptions.label, jsOptionsWasm.label, jsOptionsWasm.accesskey. The best is to compare this file with the original English one, and you will see all the entities to be added, removed or changed.

In my spare time I follow Dave Plummer's YouTube channel where he talks about various different things, mainly about his days at Microsoft many years ago (he's a retired Microsoft employee and, for those who didn't know, he's also the creator of Task Manager). Anyway, he visited the IBM lab as recently as last week where they're making new modern mainframes and long story short they're still relying on Windows XP on some of their equipment (albeit the embedded version): In the video, he said: "and here's where I discovered that they're relying on an old friend, something I've worked on, Windows XP. That's right, their stations still run on Windows XP. I guess when you absolutely, positively, need your fill station to work every time you only rely on the very best". for those who are curious about the video, you can go to minute 16:35

More and more sites are requiring this, even Walmart just recently started forcing it and it's a real pain. Banks I could see maybe for the extra security but for the rest of them it just seems like overkill.

Same thing happens when using Twitter or hotmail, the ui slows down and eventually becomes unusable. Interestingly, firefox 52esr does not have this problem so it's likely a code update in pale moon/uxp. Guess it's a tradeoff to modernizing the browser and making it more accessible.

Or maybe try this one (digitally signed). Just rename it to api-ms-win-core-localization-l1-2-2.dll api-ms-win-core-localization-l1-2-0.zip

TBH, it was a long time ago when I corrected this issue. It may well be that I had also corrected entries in the colors.dtd file at that time. And the issue is related to the Colors dialogue, of course. But I definitely know (I had briefly checked before replying) that I added for example the entities I already mentioned in the content.dtd file. But maybe that wasn't the cause of the Colors problem, but of a previous problem. I compare and correct, but I don't document every single step. In any case, the most important thing is that all errors are found, and the language pack works again. And now, you at least know where to look. Anyway! I'm glad you were able to correct the Dutch language pack.

The content.dtd file was not the culprit here. I had to modify colors.dtd. (the translated strings are the same as in official Pale Moon) Now it's functional again. Feel free to add it to your alphabetical list of all posted extensions. The link is the same as in my previous post about the updated privacy.dtd.

@UsefulAGKHelper The most difficult part is to understand, why something goes wrong and in which file. For this, only Windbg helps (you need 2 compis for this). After you have an idea, what may be wrong, you can use IDA Pro64. Very often the cause for an error is independend from the OS. Needs some time to learn, how to work with those tools. And for changing files you can use Winhex. Of course there is another way, I mean to understand Assembler language and its work together with XP. I think, here in the forum only @Mov AX, 0xDEAD can do that and @daniel_k Dietmar

The issue was located under Preferences -> Content -> Colors. I found it by accident. Have a look here: Cheers, AstroSkipper

Hi @George King, I have lost complete the overlook over all the versions of those files. I make them also for win2000, win7, win8, win8.1. I know, that I always send the most most new to Ramsey for XP SP3, so there they are for sure the latest ones. For XP bit64 SP2 I have only the modd here in the forum from January 2023 for hal.dll and intelppm.sys. They cant be done better. Here are my last acpi.sys for XP SP3, win2003 bit 32 and XP bit64 SP2 with most needed hacks https://ufile.io/1bu70rru Dietmar

Just use Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider and you will get rid of the annoying windows popups and the such.

Yes, I can confirm, it's the same like in the original version it leads to h--p://bbs.360.cn/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=14294828 http I replaced to h--p

Of course! Why would I give a theme with China connections!? What do you mean by "bloated"? There's nothing there that connects to China.

You're welcome! My VM has only 2 GB of RAM, unfortunately I can't risk using a lot of RAM (multiprocess mode, I prefer single-process mode!) just to use Hotmail. And I use Gmail as my email service anyway.

For a complete and correct localization, you will need to replace the image base address and resources of about 100 files with those of your language version. - https://win2k.org/blog/2019/10/07/1989811/ That means localization requires collecting files from various updates such as KB891861, XP SP3, SV2003 SP2, non-public updates, etc. I'm tracking down what I actually need. My final plan is making auto localization python script which download, extract, modify, and re-compress everything automatically. A little spoiler -

What does it have to do with UA? Compare the GUI, it's different, this one is indeed looks like the right one, and his picture doesn't.

@K4sum1 Hi, on newer Intel boards >= Skylake, is an error in hardware about the sleeping states. Only D0 ===> D1 for the cpu still works. This patch does nothing other, than to put all those higher sleeping states to D1 Dietmar

I see, thanks for the information. In my case, Serpent 52 didn't lock up after I logged in to Facebook. However, it did get slowed down (no wonder since Facebook is a very heavy platform as you said), but it never locked up, nor it closed itself. This website requires WebGL, and ever after enabling WebGL in Serpent 52, I still can't access the website.

That might be enough to fix my problem. 2AM UTC November 3rd is approximately when my 7 day grace period would have expired. With your tip, My GitHub account now sees 2FA as being enabled.

My German language pack for New Moon 28 - Fixed - Part 2 In the German language pack from the quoted post above, I found another issue under Einstellungen -> Inhalt -> Farben months ago. Here is a screenshot to demonstrate this issue: I had already fixed this problem at that time and the language pack got the version number 28.10.0rc3. This fixed version wasn't offered by me, though. Here is a screenshot of the fixed version: Yesterday, @roytam1 reported a new problem in the preference menu under Einstellungen -> Datenschutz due to changes of some entities. Here is a screenshot of this new issue: Today, I have fixed this issue in version 28.10.0rc3 and have assigned the number 28.10.0rc4 to the new, corrected version. Here is a screenshot of the fixed version: And here is the download link of the updated, German language package in version 28.10.0rc4 for New Moon 28 from 2023-10-19 and up: https://www.mediafire.com/file/6f7jyk6fldmzihh/de-28.10.0_RC4.xpi/file Greetings from Germany, AstroSkipper

@NotHereToPlayGames I have tried once or twice to PM you but it doesn’t seem to be possible. Anyway, thanks for actually trying Kaspersky 18 on XP x86 during my recent absence from the forum! You were quite right about one thing: For too long the debate was dominated by people who never even used Kaspersky (including me and the OP of this topic). Also thanks to @UCyborg for testing Kaspersky 18 on XP x64 and confirming that it works, and to the anonymous member who already told me that beforehand. 🙂 I won’t be posting in the Astro-Blog anymore, which should not only be locked but deleted entirely because it is hopelessly biased politically (not to mention boring). Since that was the last topic at MSFN of any interest to me, I will become very scarce unless someone asks an interesting question, which rarely happens at this forum anymore. Bye!

I certainly don't have the "answer". MSFN has some very biased "factions" where members take "sides" based solely on political viewpoints instead of technical merit. Not because politics are "allowed" but because we all know each other very well. We are all "family" and we know which "brothers" think this way and which "brothers" think that way. We've all seen the trolling of members for the sake of "liking" content of no underlying meaning other than a "member of their faction" made the post. https://www.dictionary.com/e/slang/it-is-what-it-is/

I searched in vain for something worthy of quotation in your last post. Are you saying that Kaspersky could be trusted if there were Anglo-Saxons living in Moscow? As I have pointed out before, it is the independent labs who “sing Kaspersky’s praises” - not I (who never used it as you well know). Am I more inclined to believe the independent labs than governments (including my own) that clearly have an anti-Russian foreign policy agenda? You bet I am! You and AstroSkipper obviously place greater faith in government pronouncements, which is the entire dispute in a nutshell. As I recall, Germany was eagerly awaiting completion of “Nordstream II” just two years ago, but now they have “seen the light” and become “born again” anti-Russians. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing - in fact it has helped to silence those isolationists in America who think we should withdraw from NATO and let Europe fend for themselves. (I was never one of those, although you have single-handedly caused me to give the matter more thought.) Frankly, the United States badly needs to pivot its attention toward the Pacific, where a new threat has been growing steadily. Meanwhile, Astro posts updates about Chinese security software and your accounts react as a matter of course. With allies like you, who needs enemies? 🤔 I learned the futility of reporting your accounts some time ago, but thanks for the suggestion. The mayor of New York City has indeed spoken about an immigration “crisis” recently, but the population influx in question comes from Central America - not Russia. You picked a peculiar topic in which to argue that the US government is “pro-Russian.”

Hi, I have the same Bsod, only when I close the Mypal68 browser. Much less often than before, but happens on 4Gbyte x58 motherboard (with multiprocessor in Mypal68 enabled). BSOD win32k.sys, bluescreen and compi reboots Dietmar

@NotHereToPlayGames I just want to know, which settings I have to change in this new Chrome version, so that the edu Scratch page works for me under XP SP3. In the browser version before (zip1) it works Dietmar

Please send me the version of Chrome, that works for the Scratch edu side Dietmar

First, I don't see a screenshot. Second, "the parameter is incorrect", look the link below. Third, you would need to run InfVerif.exe from the command line. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/devtest/inf-validation-errors-and-warnings

I assumed you meant smth like this: (you wrote steeling cookies) hardening (!?) cookies. But then again, considering the way you spell, sometimes hard to understand, sorry ! So no reason to be mad. Web security : hardening cookies/ https://odino.org/security-hardening-http-cookies/

Firefox aint better, there was a good topic here on how it leaks your data to russian yandex (with proof , screenshots , etc ).

I don't know about "non-stop", I suspect it happens on start, but this information is widely available, could be easily found, like the example I gave you above about stealing ones cookies. EDIT : @Milkinis, in theory, there are methods to switch off the "file system" , I'm not sure about the success though.

Inconvenient, might drive someone nuts ? I don't know.

There aren't lots of options . And I'd suggest avoiding Linux at all costs . Like @Mr.Scienceman2000 wisely admitted , you'll just switch to another master and I agree . I'm also a gamer , but I try to stay with Vista . The experience is very good so far . Also , don't waste time on XP , there's nothing to gain for you there at all , should be obvious. Win 7 vs. Vista - Vista is the clear winner in speed and quality (sound , rendering and even HD playback). Now you wrote you have GTX970 , I can suggest some very good Vista drivers.

Trolling lvl 168 . I'm sure you know Cyberpunk 2077 is directx12 only , not to mention it's buggy as hell. And XP is what , 9.0b maximum ? Or smth like that.

Now I understand why we have to deal with an absolute crap software in the last 15 years.

Ever tried to vlite them into Vista ISO ? I shall soon have another motherboard for the tests with USB3.0 only , so I'm interested if those will work during the installation.

@win32 and the others , thank you all , no , nothing of these worked . If you're curious , I found drivers from 2018 made by (I don't know actually, lol , no info in the readme) , but not on this forum . I'm not sure about posting links , but the readme inside the package says : "...drivers for Hudson-3/Bolton/Avalon/KernCZ family chipsets Version 1.1.0.0276 Release date 12/04/2018" . These are the only ones that worked on Q87 and B85 . I still need to try on H110 chipset , though. I do not have anything else to test on. I think the problems with win32's drivers are : 1st - they don't have my device in their inf , they do not even have Vista 6.0 section , also they are meant for 3.0 , while my device is 3.1 . Win32 , I guess you added your device into the inf ? So , with the ones I found , I get 3.1 speeds , I have an external enclosure with 3.1 abilities and the speeds are just awesome ! Way more than 150mbps. Win32 , I can share via PM , if needed.

With what I use (map editors , strategy gaming , hooking , browsers modding) , it needs low latency RAM , like CL7 and 1866MHZ , expensive RAM . I bought several sticks in 2013 and they still run fine with only 1.42V . Yeah , I know , very good chips. I game on Haswell and the whole platform seems very slow to me . The amount of RAM won't help. Besides , I can't use more than 3.8GB , because I'm on a 32-bit Vista. The other PC with Quad Xeon (for the internet usage) is able to use 32GB , but this amount is an overkill for my needs. So I decided to install 16GB.

Yeah , that's what I thought . I didn't get them to work , though. Perhaps they are only meant to work on Kaby Lake with more expensive chipsets ? I tried on haswell B85 , Q87 and the cheapest H110 Kaby lake chipset . On haswell I don't see USB or any other similar devices that could be used in device manager at all. I see junk like ME "PCI simple controller' . On H110 chipset, USB controller with yellow exclamation mark is visible , it installs fine , then it says I need to restart , then error code : 31. Do I have to install anything else ? When do i have to install HC switch from the package ? The instructions are very unclear , like the author was not sure himself . Also , there are two inf files . usbxhci.inf and uaspstor . Do I need them both ? Could you please give us clear instructions ?

Would be nice , I'll purchase ryzen or kaby lake board and start testing then. So you're not sure which update ? I can't imagine to install a ton of them, between 2017 and 2019.

After very good results for speed test in any situation, and long life, I just ordered an Intel Optane SSD 905P 960GB, PCIe 3.0 x4 (SSDPED1D960GAX1) and will install XP SP3 on nvme on it. I use the EVGA dark z390 motherboard for this, it has a brand new BIOS with full XP ACPI support. In few days I report about, Dietmar
