only got little time this week for updating, so some issues can't resolve and changelog is a bit short.

Who cares what the security center of Windows is able to recognise. Disable the corresponding notifications respectively the antivirus monitoring! What's more important is that it works and how it performs.

the procedure entry point Κ32EnumProcessess could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll

Yes i reproduce the crash, while you may help by checking previous versions.

Sumatra PDF for XP 3.2 https://github.com/VictorVG/Software/releases/download/SPDF-56c5dc61e.1/SumatraPDF_XP.zip and NPAPI plugin 3.2 https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/df7cq1dq7wkplt3/npPdfViewer.dll For MyPal 68 in about:config plugin.load_flash_only - false NPAPI plugin 2.5.2 https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/tndgklyvdkwd14x/npPdfViewer.dll and NPAPI plugin 3.2 https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/2a6t8pp6g3p4wf3/npPdfViewer.dll

BTW it doesn't mean NM27 can do e10s, just some related code changes from this upstream commit are included.

A fair guess is to assume Supermium already includes the kernel mod within the non-disclosed, close source parts, like progwrp.dll, for example.

Among other things! Try to scan a couple of files! Check the RAM consumption and the CPU usage using a tool like Process Hacker! In short, check the scanner abilities and the whole programme performance! At least, I would do that to get an impression whether the programme is any good.

1. No, we got a very cheap, green electricity, here in Holland, I'm more concerned with the unnecessary wear and log waiting times each start brings. 2. The same idi*otic voltage spikes each start brings, why would a browser need to bring my gpu to the full clocking state each start? Then it of course settles down, but it's simply not helping to let it survive longer.

I don't understand the question. I have a fast HDD - Raptor, a very old GTX titan (produced: Januray 2013).

No tests are needed since it's too obviously noticeable. Ungoogled opens up in a matter of milliseconds, while with the usual Chrome or even Supermium I have to wait for 3 seconds on my HDD. But then again, it may be different with your hardware.

Then you've come to the right place, I don't think Supermium will ever be fully ungoogled. With the rate the developer adds Ungoogled features it may only happen in the year 3047. Why? I don't know, probably the ungoogled demand is low.

I'm sure the readers and myself would be very pleased if the information you provide was presented in a little more detail. What exactly did you test? How did you determine that no connection to the cloud servers was established? And so on. People want to be able to understand and judge what exactly you have investigated and how you came to your conclusions. BTW, have you already tested the most recent version 360 Total Security 11.0.0.1083? On its homepage, it is claimed to be still XP-compatible.

I can't observe this problem in the most recent version of New Moon 28.10.7a1 (32-bit) (2024-02-23) with Palefill 1.28 enabled. This site seems to work. Here is a screenshot: Cheers, AstroSkipper

Brave is portable, last Wind.7 version, courtesy of @AstroSkipper. https://msfn.org/board/topic/184454-last-version-of-software-for-windows-81/?do=findComment&comment=1253652

In that case, please help me find ready builds of Brave, thank you very much.

I too have this question! It seems odd. First they write they stay on older OS to be less spied on, second they port the standard Chrome/chromium, really odd.

So I went out and bought TerraTec AUREON7.1PCIe 7.1 PCIe internal audio card. I'm out of ideas...

Pretty much what the topic says, I was able to get Injustice 2 {2018} up and running, after I figured out how to install these new video drivers, I have to admit, it was not easy to find any help topics about nVidia, the search showed only bizarre results. https://msfn.org/board/topic/183688-breakthrough-new-nvidia-drivers-ported-to-vista-tutorial/ But no sound, no matter what I do. Please share the ideas. the game shows no particular errors and works fine.

Panda Free Antivirus brokes in the install

no i intall them find the problem and unistall them

Where did you get this information? It usually comes in two versions, the free version Malware Hunter and the commercial version Malware Hunter Pro. As already described in my article, the features real-time protection and automatic updates are only available in Malware Hunter Pro.

Ultra Virus Killer gives me this error

You could shut off HW acceleration in Supermium by going to Settings->System->turning off "Use hardware acceleration when available". OTOH, couldn't reproduce the symptoms you're describing on this box (Titan X GPU), in XP or Vista. Here's a screencap vid of Supermium being closed and reopened, with hwmonitor not showing any voltage/power change. Tell me how it looks on your Philips TV.

Wow ... good to see this on 27 ...and BTW, thank you, Roy, for taking time from your personal life to keep your projects going.

... Apologies for asking, but your statement isn't quite clear to me ... SumatraPDF is a standalone application that can handle (local) PDF files, how can it be used "with" Serpent 52's native (built-in) PDF viewer (pdf.js, written in Javascript) ? Do you actually mean that for PDF files on your system, you sometimes use SumatraPDF and other times you use St52 (as a PDF viewer) ? FWIW, SumatraPDF used to come with a NPAPI plugin that could be configured to handle PDF files inside a supported browser (St52 is one ), but that NPAPI plugin was removed, starting with SumatraPDF-3.0 ; apparently, there's a hacky way to keep using the last available plugin version (2.5.2) with newer versions of the SumatraPDF application, but this is an unsupported configuration, i.e. "you're on your own": https://web.archive.org/web/20170424012056/https://github.com/sumatrapdfreader/sumatrapdf/wiki/Browser-plugin

I guess, though not sure if reads/writes contribute substantially to HDD failures -- the heads are never in contact with the disks, the disks are always spinning, whether they're being used or not. I mean, maybe the head assembly wagging back and forth might eventually wear out the bearings... dunno, tangent, could be wrong. >voltage spikes Core voltages momentarily ramp up? One of the joys of having old HW is not having to worry about stuff like that, close that HWMONITOR. The GPU is there to be used, enjoy it If he's messing with Microsoft's binaries, sorta has to be (just guessing here, know not what i speak of etc.).

The interesting bit is Supermium doesn't require extended kernel to run (ungoogled, just like Chrome/Chromium, does).

Probably a more fair comparison would be to run them both on Vista, Ungoogled runs on Vista ex-kernel up to version 110-111 or so. Supermium was made for Vista initially, that's what I mean.

Slower startup and heavier HDD usage. First and foremost, I disable everything GPU related, I don't watch videos in browsers.

The windows does not sees this version

For starters, even if we leave aside the data collection thingy, it's simply heavier. Ungoogled version has more useful flags for user's convenience, highly customizable. Are you sure you ever tried it?

There exists a project (now, seemingly, an "abandonware" ), last updated in June 2020, which offers "pdf.js" in the form of a "legacy" XUL extension: https://github.com/IsaacSchemm/pdf.js-seamonkey/releases/tag/v2.3.235 The release notes of the last version state that it's based on pdf.js-v2.3.200, so you got further than them ; the provided XPI file comes with l10n support , which was the main reason I had tested it back then in my "dirty" St52 profile ; after some days of testing, I bumped on some incompatibilities (the details of which evade me now ), so I ended up uninstalling it and reverting to the St52-embedded (English-only) "native pdf.js viewer" ...

Here is a screenshot: Cheers, AstroSkipper Same applies to the most recent version of Serpent 52 with Palefill 1.28 enabled. No problems here as you can see in this screenshot: Cheers, AstroSkipper

@feodor2 Did you observe sudden crashes in Mypal 68.13.9b when surfing on Codeberg.org? Unfortunately, I had to determine sudden crashes without any messages that occur completely randomly when clicking onto links on Codeberg's pages. However, only in single-process mode. All preference settings for single-process mode are set to the default values in my installation. In multiprocess mode, on the other hand, I could not observe such crashes. Any ideas?

@Amigafever Thanks for your interest in my mod uBlock Origin Legacy! Unfortunately, these new assets.json files of the webextension uBlock Origin are no longer compatible with the legacy extension. To implement such features in uBlock Origin Legacy is very time-consuming due to deeper code changes. Don't forget I am not the developer of uBO which is gorhill together with his team! I am just a one-man band when it comes to fixing code or creating new things. All changes I did in terms of uBlock Origin Legacy are the result of own investigations of uBO's source code. Apart from that I don’t really like this new feature. One always has to weigh the effort and the benefit of such things. I have a lot of projects, and my time is unfortunately limited. Greetings, AstroSkipper

i had some time to look at it his function is bugged up basicly he write it himself "// hacky but works: small number is command id, large is submenu (a pointer)"" that indicates he tryed to trick it and had to do "hacky solutions" he use a endless while true loop with ends escapes and continues, also goto´s,calls to the same functions in a function, and then seperators for his menu to fix how he called it "bad seperators" this ended up in a os specific solution you useally dont do that because the operating system can might change the relevant codes over time (such as 7 to 10, or 98 to nt) - something like this already happend in the past but the solution to this problem is possible as the author use multiple fixes all over around (probaly to compensate the problems) it is easy to add that fix - anyways it actually was a bit weird to find it out in win10 its just a flag, that was found like very quickly - but no in xp it didnt do that and gave very weird results even turned off xp was working ok while on 10 it did what it suppose to do - it was turned off as the code suppose to was changed to let me know if it works now! the .avif file (and heic) format dont work for me, neither on xp nor on 10 nor on 7 (both unchanged from the official download page and the changed version) https://www.file-upload.net/download-15277606/SumatraPDF_WINXP_3.5.2_3.zip.html https://www.mediafire.com/file/a4mtyf33ozs6q63/SumatraPDF_WINXP_3.5.2_3.zip/file

Yes, this is a new bug, sure this is to be fixed I have found and appllied several things to make browser faster, as i usually do examine newer firefox code.

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

For the most up-to-date list I have found of Windows 7 compatible browsers, look here.[1] Even though the post is in the middle of a thread, it is actively maintained and regularly updated with current information. It lists over a dozen different chrome variants and a half dozen Firefox variants, along with info on how to slim and harden Firefox variants in general and some registry entries to suppress unsupported OS warnings in Chrome. In addition to the ones listed above, yet another Windows 7 compatible Chrome variant that I have used for a number of years is SRWare Iron. There are installer and portable versions available for both x32 and x64.

You're simply my hero! That's exactly what I've been looking for! Thank you for the detailed explanations! Your explanations are always clear and well written!

@Cocodile, since you seem to be the only one trying to help me find Brave, may I trouble you for the advice on safe Chromium for Windows 7? As I already pointed out, something similar to Ungoogled.

Thank you very much, but I wouldn't know what to do with it). Maybe some third party entities make builds based on Brave?

I found the problematic script which causes this, tagging @win32, since he also might be interested! It's just yet another bug in Chromium 111. "Can confirm the crash at settings." https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium/pull/2262

Thanks. It's only one game I have troubles with. Any others work fine with sound, be it onboard realtek, or the new dedicated card I bought. HDMI driver not installed, I have no use for it, the speakers are hooked up via Sony Philips digital output (SPDIF).

I can't seem to find the exact engine it runs on, I would have to buy the game first, is a "mono" based game?

The only BSODs I have had were caused by the 360Chrome browsers in conjunction with WiseVector StopX. Otherwise, I haven't had a single BSOD in years. Nevertheless, I am not at all surprised that most comments about BSODs in MSFN are found in connection with Windows XP which is the most modified and patched OS ever, full of ported and forked software. Just think of all existing system patches, the experiments with the ACPI.sys file, modified drivers and so on. Anyway! I used the 360Chrome browsers with rebased chrome.dll intensively the last weeks, without any further BSODs in my system. But one thing is crystal clear. The 360Chrome Browsers v13.5 have a Chromium engine 86 which was actually never meant to run on Windows XP. Therefore, BSODs do not really surprise me.

You're welcome! Glad I could help a bit!

Right! I use the full paid version. IDA is a good download manager and has been maintaining compatibility with Windows XP for years.

I get a mega crisis every time any CF check is to be done in my browsers.
