Using a more recent profile, the download window in New Moon 28 (2023-11-10) looks like in the following screenshot: I did not choose to open anything, of course. Unfortunately, there is no option in this window or entry in the Applications window to set the default action when downloading an executable file.

I'm sorry, I don't see another one, is it that better?

I'm now starting to suspect why we don't see win32 here often anymore.

What are you talkin' about? That part of the code was omitted in Supermium from the start. And no "magical super alternatives" for win 7 either. Chrome 109 is too old now. 115 is the comfortable minimum here, in Europe.

Simply switch the browser to "developer" mode, it works in supermium (which this topic is about). Should work in others.

And when trying to download an exe file in my very old profile, the download window looks like in this screenshot: Cheers, AstroSkipper

In the most recent version of New Moon 28, 2023-11-10, both, the application and the download window, is working and showing entries. Here are two screenshots taken from New Moon 28 (2023-11-10): Therefore, regarding New Moon 28, I can't confirm the issue in my very old profile as described by @VistaLover. I will also have a look when creating a new profile. Cheers, AstroSkipper

In Firefox 4, the status bar was replaced with the add-on bar, an empty, but customizable, toolbar. In Firefox 29, Mozilla decided to rework the UI again, and ended up in removing the add-on bar as well. From Firefox 29 to 56, the add-on bar could be restored by the extensions Status-4-Evar or Classic Theme Restorer. Mypal 68 is based on the code of Firefox 68esr, called Firefox Quantum, where no add-on bar can be found or natively be enabled by the user. Therefore, I have been looking for ways to reimplement such a status or add-on bar in Mypal 68 with the functionality to display currently loading URLs and hovered links and to place toolbar buttons there. I finally managed to do this and now I have my status bar again like in the old days. The implementation was done by JavaScript and CSS. Here is a screenshot: Cheers, AstroSkipper

Either of you tried to mod the desktop drivers? There's a chance up to R430 Kepler might work. https://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/151873/en-us/

Oh, and certainly you would need to extract the crx into a folder with the help of uniextract first.

Greeting top you, too! The service is not big, it's local. My profile is under constant and personal surveillance by the supervisor Tripredacus. I asked what could have triggered his attention many times. I asked the supervisor what post, word, text was not to his taste, yet he didn't point out to such. As he couldn't give me a clear answer, I'll not attach links to commercial sources, if you're not satisfied with my answer, please contact the supervisor Tripredacus and redirect the question there.

Windows 8 is fast & there isn't much it can't run when updated. it's fluent & Fun. I installed it on a rubbish PC. I'm quite amazed how fast, stable & capable it runs

Yep, but in your Download or more precisely Opening dialogue , you have the option to "Do this automatically for files like this from now on". In New Moon 28 and Serpent 52 (2023-11-10), this option doesn't exist anymore for downloading an exe file when using a fresh profile. At the moment, the only way to directly open the Save File dialogue is to add the missing mime application/octet-stream what I have just done and to set then the option Save File manually in the Applications window. I hope this missing option will be restored.

And in Serpent 52 (2023-11-10), the download window is definitely not resized as it should : Sometimes, it is rendered correctly, but mostly not. @roytam1 Can you have a look into that? And is the content of this window as to be expected? Cheers, AstroSkipper

... I'm so frustrated to hear about this ... The issue I reported (empty "Applications" tab/window) happens on ALL of my roytam1 browsers here (St55/St52/NM28); all these are the latest 32-bit releases, OS is (as has always been the case ) Windows Vista SP2 x86; can other MSFN members try this, too? ... "Can get" ? It's always empty for me here Sure; below a screengrab and copied text from latest NM28 (32-bit): Timestamp: 17/11/2023 13:56:21 Error: NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE: Component returned failure code: 0x80040111 (NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE) [nsIMIMEService.getFromTypeAndExtension] Source File: chrome://browser/content/preferences/applications.js Line: 1064 ... Hope it's useful to you ...

Yes, with your BCD it actually should show the new menu. Reproduced! Seems there is a difference with bootems that also effects menu style. bcdedit -set {emssettings} bootems No

Just "drag-and-drop" onto the extensions page. Do not need "debug mode", just drag-and-drop.

Not the end. Not yet. At least while we can run "Wine on Windows". https://reddragdiva.dreamwidth.org/607714.html https://web.archive.org/web/20090110105132/http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOnWindows I know WSL is only available for > w10, but we have Cygwin, MinGW....

Here are two screenshots to show where and by what means modifications have been done to the user interface of Mypal 68.13.5b: The colours of the areas mean how the modification was made. Red stands for CSS only, blue for JavaScript only, and green for both, JavaScript + CSS. Cheers, AstroSkipper

Of course, your project, your priorities. I assume in terms of fixing issues it has a similar priority as the issue Internationalization & Localization https://github.com/Feodor2/Mypal68/issues/96 and others which were already long reported before. Right?

That's correct. I noticed that, too when using the most recent version of ProxHTTPSProxy. That's why I already updated my post. Best regards, AstroSkipper

the only suspected rev is reverted by upstream, so lets see what will happen in next build

New drivers are a scam. I now have a Keppler card (link) and old driver 352.94 gives me much better fps with Injustice 2, Injustice 2 (link) is a 2018 game! Who would have thought... Driver from this tutorial is also much better than the new ones.

I have the same question. RDR2 now updated itself and started to demand even a higher driver version! Every time I try to start the game it says " Please update your driver. Game requires 446.14 or newer." Help is appreciated.

Supermium is not a "h@lf-a$$ed Chromium backport". All intended original Chrome functions work on Vista.

Hello @a8s! Cookie Quick Manager 0.5rc2 (and probably most of the others as well) works in Mypal 68.13.5b. No problems here. Maybe, your profile or your Mypal installation is corrupt or misconfigured. First, you should create a fresh profile and try to install the extensions again. If this doesn't help, you can perform a fresh installation of Mypal 68.13.5b. Here is a proof in the form of a screenshot: Cheers, AstroSkipper

Compared to legacy extensions I unfortunately do. Legacy extensions are able to change the browser interface and web pages. The so called "web" extensions are not.

I'm doing a big edit on the message I posted in August, it seems that VS2022 17.7.x runs on W7. VS Installer is blocking the install but if you select "Download all, then install", VSI will show the popup when the download finishes, but if you click on Cancel, it will install VS and all component you selected as if nothing happened. Surprisingly, no modifications are required after that, VS just works as previous versions does. It also work for updating an existing install, by doing "More" > "Download, then update" So here again, another case of artificial limitations... Not tested for the current 17.8 pre-release, but it'll probably also work. EDIT : 17.8.0 works

An update on this project's development has been posted on my YouTube channel: Text glow is yet to come, and the blurring is still quite bad, however I believe that this will get to the open beta phase within 2024.

Yes, a very underrated OS. The last amazing OS after XP. Try Ex7ForW8 (Explorer from Windows 7 ) on it and see how the OS flies. Modern OSes (10,11...) started with 8.0... well I wrote a lot about it... I don't want to say the same again, but I'm happy to see when people appreciate this nice OS and I hope we have a good KernelEx for it one day.

Try installing the driver manually through Device Manager. This ID is in the driver. At least in 474.11-desktop-win8-win7-64bit-international-whql.exe It has the lines: %NVIDIA_DEV.24C9% = Section165, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_24C9 NVIDIA_DEV.24C9 = "NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti". Also, the system may be missing a platform update: KB2670838
