That's the kind of releases I am using for a long time.

StartAllBack 3.7.5 (that's build 4872 no less)

Most post 2017 made hardware doesn't support windows 7. Someone gave me a new motherboard made in 2018, the CPU is always at 1800MHz, doesn't go fully idle. Standby doesn't work either.

I am not doing this, I considered doing it to prevent buggy code being pushed to roytam1's users, but I never decided to actually go forward with it. What's sad is that roytam1 continues to release code to his users that has not been verified as production ready. Code in the master branch of upstream UXP or upstream Basilisk is not always production ready. I have seen issues reported on MSFN for roytam1's builds because he was pulling code from master branches before they were ready. He is doing a disservice to his users by giving them potentially buggy code.

... Couldn't agree more ; but, "no sense" is probably only "applicable" to frequenters of these threads, on "legacy" browser engines ; I can assure you that the web designers of that Spanish site did NOT, even for a mere second, think of "backwards compatibility" ; they're probably "trained" to expect each and every eventual user of their service to be running the latest Chrome/Firefox/Safari, where the original "issue" you reported (and generated many additional posts here) is simply non-existent - it works right away and the user "there" doesn't notice any issue; he/she just moves on with the browsing; the comparison between "sensical" and "non-sensical" never crosses his/her mind ... It is us here inside the MSFN "older OS" forums who harbour a mentality of being "the centre of the IT universe", whereas, in fact, we're just one dying old star which has practically extinguished all of its fusion-able material ...

Thank you, this was very critical feedback.

I tested [major]; it does not fix Chase. So keep [minor] around in case you run across other Web sites like Chase.

SWEET! I've added it to my MSFN userstyle! edit: and added some very specific "members" who do make valuable contributions every once in a while despite the vast MAJORITY of their posts being nothing but walking right up to the line without actually crossing that line. a "pink background" now visually tells me right from the get-go, "warning, possibly inciteful and not insightful, proceed at your own risk"

Here's the one @UCyborg posted about a month ago: https://msfn.org/board/topic/185918-arcticfoxienotheretoplaygames-360chrome-v1351030-redux/?do=findComment&comment=1258371 Edit: NHTPG posted one above, but it's an image. Follow my link if you want a cut-and-paste version.

Well, I think I was the first one to point out to that questionable connections, and yes, I remember you checked them. but what puzzles me, I have the same card, I can post pictures (in case of doubts). I use it on a similar to your motherboard (Siemens with Xeon), the same year of manufacturing I guess, I have almost zero troubles with it, apart from it overloading, my PCI express when I copy the files and play a game, all at once, I wrote about it. I use it in conjunction with 6TB drivers. No errors at all. But I'm on Vista.

I totally agree with jaclaz, I had numerous troubles, and not only with those chinocrap cables, but also with their poorly soldered fittings. Those may be oxidized, degraded, and even faulty right from the start.

Quite some time already passed, so it would've been known, yet to this date, the developers declare - it still didn't happen. Will it, ever? We don't know. "Contrary to popular belief, AES-128 is not broken in practice by quantum computers" https://blog.cloudflare.com/post-quantum-to-origins/

Yes , I'm trying to help win32 too , why would you think otherwise ? And all I'm saying , Vista x64 is more stable on Pentiums than iCore line. Edit : spent some time testing the new reduced ISO of Vista RTM x64 on my laptop with Pentium , without installing the HD drivers from Intel , mentioned earlier . The bug happened 4 times . Reboots in total - approx. 70 . So I'm absolutely sure the bug has nothing to do with the drivers . Also , the laptop doesn't have HPET settings in the BIOS.

This topic is about Vista and it's kernel , please create your own NEW topic and invite members there to discuss NT 4.0 . Dear @dencorso , please come to rescue and save this wonderful topic of off-topicers . It's really hard , especially today , we're under attack , bombarding with irrelevant info and quoting with huge sheets. Thank you very much !

@Tihiy When installing the beta I get a Windows smartscreen warning. I know it's a false positive but I wanted to let you know just in case there is a code signing certificate issue. It looks like the certificate is new. Thanks!!

I really think you insist on looking at it the difficult way. Tampermonkey is a Difficulty Level 4 on a scale of 0 (very easy) to 10 (very hard). The "separate extension" route where you insist on creating your own manifest.json, your own content.js, and your own polyfill.js, then packaging those as your own extension, is a Difficulty Level 6. And the self-create method hasn't actually been tested or verfied as even working. I see no theoretical reason that it should not work, but nor have I seen anybody demonstrate that it does work.

OT ... I use a userstyle for that : @-moz-document domain("msfn.org") { body.ipsApp article.ipsComment div[data-quotedata*='roytam1'] div.cPost_contentWrap p { max-height: 300px !important; overflow-y: auto !important; } } ; I've named it: msfn.org @roytam1 "long" posts fix ...

It's not their own, it's the same thing Mozilla Firefox ships with, maybe different version, it's called pdf.js, indeed written in JavaScript.

... Indeed (and pardon the slight OT ), the "online-PDF-viewer" URI: https://storage.enganchesaragon.com/public-websites/ecommerce/pdf_viewer/web/viewer.html?file=https://storage.enganchesaragon.com/public-websites/ecommerce/Inst/C0801E.pdf does load in last week's Serpent 52, but the pages are rendered blank there : If one downloads directly the PDF file via: https://storage.enganchesaragon.com/public-websites/ecommerce/Inst/C0801E.pdf (it's 10.4 MiB in size) and then tries to view it in St52, all's fine : Yes, the PDF file specs have evolved over time and full backwards-compatibility isn't guaranteed ; the file in question is of version 1.7 and I had better luck than you in that it opened in my Adobe Reader X (aka 10) copy: Though, do note that it is stated in the above screenshot that PDF v1.7 should be compatible with Adobe Reader/Acrobat 8.0+, so there may be something off in your case ...

i am talking to upgrading windows insider build to another. upgrading from 26058 to 26063 and from 26063 to 26063 i get this in section: upgrading builds with SaB 3.7.3 does not remove pinning taskbar icons. TaskBand AfterUpgrade.reg

I'm kind of astonished by the design of this Web site. Am I correct in concluding that, rather than using the .pdf viewer built into every major Web browser, they coded their own? In Javascript? Why would anyone do this? It can't have been done to support very old browsers that might lack a built-in .pdf viewer, because the Javascript relies on new constructs that require polyfills even on Chrome 86. Older browsers don't stand a chance. P.S.: Per Google Translate, that line in German above translates to "An error occurred when loading the PDF file." So I'd guess that this Javascript PDF viewer was written by a German. (I realize that doesn't tell us much.) P.P.S.: Maybe the German thing is a red herring. I just tried to open the .pdf in Acrobat 9 and was told that I need a newer Acrobat version! So perhaps, to answer my original question, the .pdf is a very new format, and the Javascript .pdf viewer actually does allow (slightly) older browsers to view the .pdf. Like Chrome 98 or so. Except - that doesn't make sense; @VistaLover was able to view it with the .pdf viewer built into Kafan MiniBrowser (Chromium 87). So I guess I still don't understand the purpose of this thing.

That's how I've been doing it so far. But I thought it might be easy to get around this. One other approach I use myself is to let the browser handle itself the online PDF files (without a prior download to disk and then drag-n-drop ) and display them via its native PDF viewer; however, in the case discussed, https://storage.enganchesaragon.com/public-websites/ecommerce/Inst/C0801E.pdf the file has an "attachment" content-disposition and loading that URI will generate a "Save File" download prompt; that's why I have also installed: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/undisposition-racle-fork/bbppejejjfancffmhncgkhjdaikdgagc and I enable it as needed - you want the older v0.0.4, which is still at MV2, for 360EE... Below is KafanMiniBrowser loading the referenced PDF URI in its default viewer, via "undisposition" extension :

This is not the reference edition I was talking about. Reference is slim, but long. https://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/7170/nvidia-geforce-gtx-980-ti-reference-video-card-review/index.html

... This is probably just a simple oversight , but these two packages are being served through plain HTTP, while the page they're on (MSFN) is served through HTTPS ; recent Chromium versions block by default such scenarios as "mixed-content" and won't let you download the files out-of-the-box (a security warning is issued, can be ignored/overridden at user's discretion); I experienced this myself as I was testing latest Supermium-v121-hf-x86 on those links... Not a big thing , but perhaps the links could be edited to HTTPS, too (as are all the links to the rest of this weekend's packages ) ... Many thanks!

Interested members can find needed files on SourceForge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/winscp/files/WinSCP/6.1.2/ The "WinSCP-6.1.2-Portable.zip" is the one you need under WinXP (unpack and launch the .exe file); the problem arises if you want the app localised , because that zip archive ONLY comes with the default, en-US, locale (embedded into the .exe) . The installer, "WinSCP-6.1.2-Setup.exe" comes with multi-language support, but it's built with an InnoSetup version that requires at least Win7 . To get the localisation files out of it you need use a tool capable of extracting Innosetup installers; my two "loved-ones" are just CLIs, innounp (at v0.50) and innoextract (at v1.9) ; however, if you are a GUI type, you can use the much larger app UniExtract2, which contains those two above CLIs as internal components (this extracting "suite" has been mentioned and linked before by AstroSkipper). Once you have successfully unpacked "WinSCP-6.1.2-Setup.exe", you should have access to a "Translations" dir, with numerous "WinSCP.*" files; pick the one that has a file extension denoting your desired locale (e.g., for German it should be "WinSCP.de") and place that adjacent to the WinSCP.exe main executable inside your originally unzipped "portable" archive; launch the app (it'll still be in English) and through the app's configuration (Options -> Preferences -> Environment -> Languages) you can now select your preferred locale: An app restart is then required for the change to take effect ... If you don't mind your "portable" app being in the much acclaimed PAF format, the people over at "portableapps.com" have prepared a "special package just for XP users", who have now been deprived of future WinSCP updates: https://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/WinSCP Portable/WinSCPPortableLegacyWinXP_6.1.2.paf.exe/download That package has all available localisation embedded ... PS (and OT): This time, the WinSCP devs did not put Vista SP2 32-bit in the same boat as WinXP - the latest release as of writing this, 6.3.1, again via the "portable" distribution, launches and runs fine there () ... Just as a FYI...

With your testing, you have wonderfully refuted your own statement. And that means the following rule applies: the proof is in the pudding.

Thanks, that looks like an interesting utility, I will file it away for possible future use! It looks as if the problem has resolved anyway. I tried just saying 'No' to the pop-up, and the add driver dialogue popped up. If I dismissed it, the drive mounted and worked anyway. I then went into the driver update dialogue, told it to update the driver with what was already there, and it succeeded and the windows no longer pop up when I connect the disk, so it looks as if all is now OK. Now I'm just trying to pluck up the courage to do another QuickMirror backup onto the drive, which will replace all the files I deleted! I do hope the corruption problem doesn't immediately come back. I'm going to do it in XP, as that's the configuration that isn't standard and needs to be tested. Wish me luck!

Thanks, but I think it's not that script win32 wrote about, it looks like a custom made one.

The absence of EMI shields in such adaptors scares me.

Thanks for reading!

And this is for the trusted certs. "Automatic certificate trust list update" https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/identity/ad-cs/certificate-trust

It supposed to fetch them automatically. The cert store hasn't changed between Vista and 11. "An automatic updater of untrusted certificates is available for Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 R2" https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/an-automatic-updater-of-untrusted-certificates-is-available-for-windows-vista-windows-server-2008-windows-7-and-windows-server-2008-r2-117bc163-d9e0-63ad-5a79-e61f38be8b77

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

There's also USB Disk Ejector, lightweight and open-source USB removal tool, another good free alternative to the USB Safely Remove. https://quickandeasysoftware.net/software/usb-disk-ejector Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10 (32 and 64 bit)

For those who don't wanna pay, try ProEject "is a software tool whose purpose is to aid people in dismounting removable drives faster, by closing running apps and opened windows, as well as in cleaning the registry and device" https://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Hard-Disk-Utils/ProEject.shtml Get back with your thoughts. I also want to try. Thanks. Full XP support is claimed.

TBH, I was expecting something like that. AVG is great, isn't it?

I totally agree. As I already wrote, I hate online installers, too. But in your case, you could use the online installer to download all necessary files which usually are saved in Windows' temp folder. When all files have been downloaded, you can save these files and cancel the installation.

You're welcome! To write about Total Commander was a personal concern for me. Absolutely! I totally agree. Simply unbelievable! I don't know that from any other program. I think so, too.

@Cixert With this statement, I meant especially the offline installer of AVG Antivirus Free 18.8.4084.0.

There is nothing to check in a German company in terms of the origin of their workers. Most antivirus companies operate worldwide, in most cases internationally. Certification of origin??? That kind of thinking is more of a pigeonholing or casteism. It is the year 2023. In which century do you live? Apart from the fact that all of your recent comments here are totally off-topic, they have nothing to do with antivirus programs targeting Windows XP, you should urgently reconsider such nonsense, especially regarding the recent history (of the first half of the last century). Anyway! One thing is crystal clear, any kind of racism is never a solution. AstroSkipper

G Data and AVIRA are made in Germany but they don't support XP and Vista anymore in their recent versions. Most manufacturers of antivirus programs operate worldwide. The head office is in one country, with offshoots, branches and subsidiaries in many other countries. And antivirus programs often have several scan engines, which in turn are manufactured in other countries. So it's all quite confusing.

Thanks for the information! I know you mentioned K7 in a previous post. Unfortunately, both suggested programs are commercial. No free versions available. Seqrite doesn't seem to support Windows XP in its new versions 8.x, only in the old ones 7.x. And I can't see any products for home users. Or did I miss anything? BTW, both, K7 and Seqrite, are totally unknown here in Germany, and presumably, in other European countries, too.

When using my Android tablet, and I use it very often (as for example in this moment), I haven't experienced such heavy CPU usage in Opera, Kiwi, Brave and Firefox, either.

And here is a screenshot taken from @roytam1's commits on GitHub two hours later:

Yes, once the 32 bit kernel extensions are taken further.

The aforementioned driver (the one he claims to have modified for Vista usage) is still present and the kernel too. This driver is the same as ofiicial , except he replaced a couple of digits in the inf file.

First off , you need to run the installer as admin , mine works OK
