It's very hard to read when every word is capslocked and/or capitalized, sorry, I shan't read your reply, There are widely accepted rules of English spelling and social behaviour. I was under the impression they also have them in your country. Again, sorry, but I'll ignore.

AOMEI Partition Assistant can copy or clone partitions or disks. Here is a versions comparison in German: https://www.aomei.de/partition-manager/comparison.html I personally have installed the Professional Edition of AOMEI Partition Assistant and AOMEI Backupper.

Anyone already watched Madame Web ? In Cinemas since 14 February, 2024 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madame_Web_(film)

I always start checking any hardware by disconnecting everything, only that part needs to be left. I also played with flashing many times before, even changing GPU BIOS with the same specs can improve performance. For example, I had and old EVGA GTX 980 (2014 or 2013), it had a conflict with my 192Khz PCI audio board, I re-flashed the GPU - problems gone. I took the default nVidia reference BIOS. I guess it's just more tested and compatible rather than "partner" manufacturers' BIOS. And yes, I too have a very similar Xeon Mobo.

Wonka film review is rather good, but "Timothée Chalamet is a bit miscast". I'm not surprised, I felt the same. https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/reviews/wonka-review-timothee-chalamet-b2457979.html Independent is a credible source with good critics, I don't want to argue with anyone, just accept this fact. Those who don't agree, I'm sorry, you aren't critics from Independent, but you of course have the right to your individual view on this.

Wow, I didn't know they were still making DVDs in 2019! Unbelievable! How's the quality? American NTSC DVD 480p screen res. height standard seems so low these days. European PAL DVD standard is higher (576p), though I think not enough these days.

FYI; From the Pale Moon forum: Planned system requirements changes this year

Win32 always answered to my inquires, always. SO yeah, I'm pretty sure he doesn't want to drown in this {insert a word according to your imagination}. Take a look at the amount of your last posts here. Are they useful? Are they informative?

Look at the area around Skia/115 ...... It's noticable there with a naked eye.

Disagreed. Any comparison is only valid within the same Chromium version.

Please advice a better translation software for @dmiranda.

Yeah, I only found it because I searched "winvertroll" and wanted to see where I could find it by searching, and landed here. I edited in fixed link. Didn't even know MSFN sent notifications for edits. I need to get around to trying 1.19 or 1.20 with NotSoNew, that might be a better way to get newer versions on XP since it should work stock.

Hm, should've put an /s. It wasn't meant to be a serious remark. Although everything eventually comes to an end. But parts of Windows are seriously questionable and one wonders what goes through their minds. Not just Windows. My bank figured they should replace a working mobile app with a new one. I had to set the profile image (on the website) to be able to get past login code entry screen. Yes, you have a profile picture in there, that's new. And before anyone thinks of social networks, we have those pictures in Windows XP as well. The thing was crashing with out of memory exception, because it is using one of the memory hungrier methods to load picture in Android...I think...at least that's what I deciphered from logcat and a bit searching on the internet, I forgot the details and didn't save the log. The default picture was 900x900 in size. My screen is smaller than that and the way it was displayed in the app, it is much smaller. Dedicated image viewers have no problem loading and displaying much larger pictures on the same device. As mentioned, solved that by uploading a smaller 500x500 picture on the website, then realized the app is as terrible UI wise as reviews on Google Play suggest it to be. Very poor use of screen real estate. And the old app is blocked now.

You're welcome! Secure Sni is an important feature too, hope we will get it on a future release.

Isen't ECH only for FF 85 + based browsers ? https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2021/01/07/encrypted-client-hello-the-future-of-esni-in-firefox/

Thank you. The assistance is much appreciated. I have tested the extension. It does not work correctly immediately. I noticed that you have provided both original and modified XPI archive member files. However, the install.rdf and install.rdf.bak files appear to not have been named correctly. Your included install.rdf file is the same as the original (unmodified) install.rdf file and your install.rdf.bak file appears to be your actual modded version of install.rdf, for all mentioned XPI archive member files, file name and recorded file timestamps notwithstanding. After swapping the file names of install.rdf and install.rdf.bak, the extension can install and work as it would for Iceape-UXP or SeaMonkey. Thank you again. I have uploaded a copy of the extension with the mentioned member file naming corrections to: https://www.mediafire.com/file/690lmpk1way68z7/session_manager-0.8.1.14-sm.xpi/file Size: 552,630 bytes ; SHA-1: b73bc2ea9fd8d5902bc83f9a8926db5eabc967c3

I haven’t seen Wonka, but I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed it! I believe you are younger than most of us here at MSFN, and I’d like to hear what you thought of Wonka’s young star, Timothée Chalamet? One member seems to believe he is “weak” and untalented. I will concede that he looks rather young to become the Emperor of the Universe (which is where the Dune films are headed), but he is certainly the reigning king of the box office right now thanks to young moviegoers. As was first pointed out by Denis Kimathi of Collider and repeated in numerous other articles, Chalamet has broken a box office record that was previously held by John Travolta by starring in two top-grossing films in less than 8 months: https://collider.com/timothee-chalamet-actor-record-dune-2-wonka/

I have: The Matrix Resurrections (2021) in 2022, The Matrix trilogy (1999, 2003), Idiocracy (2006) and A Quiet Place (2018) in 2019 on DVD. I've been turning to my old DVD collection because network TV is limited and I can hardly stream at all on my devices now because the sites have all become so heavy and XP just isn't up to the job; sad to say. I find Linux to be better for watching movies online rather than XP.

After doing research I realized Encrypted Hello is not possible on FF68ESR so my main concern is why secure DNS is not activated. anybody listening on the wire can see the DNS queries I made even though both my router and devices are set to use 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1. It detects that I AM using a secure DNS rosolver but not over a secure connection. Huh ........ ....... does this mean mypal68 cant not securely meet up to any secure and private DNS like Quad9? Do you buy any chance know what is happening @Sampei.Nihira - you've always been very helpful with these tests. Thank you in advance and I realize you are busy so no quick reply is needed ... I'm not leaving any time soon. https://www.cloudflare.com/ssl/encrypted-sni/

jaclaz, what you talk about is called 512-Byte Emulation (512e), I'm aware of it. "A hard disk that is configured with 4K physical sectors with 512-byte logical sectors, the so-called 512e, comes out. It is coupled with 512-byte conversion firmware so that the 4K physical sectors used in Advanced Format are translated into 8 traditional 512-byte logical sectors compatible with host computing systems." However - "The Windows versions supporting 512e hard disk are as follows: Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2". I don't see Windows XP on that list. Source: https://www.partitionwizard.com/help/what-is-advanced-format.html

AV1 supports, h265 does not.

I dropped one in /boc-uxp/ and you have test it (untested here)

Very old disks (500GB and the such) have "usual" 512kb clusters, and the newer ones - "advanced format" with bigger clusters. And by that I mean physical, hardware clusters. EDIT, prolly the board isn't tailored well enough to work with the old ones, but could also be the firmware bug.

Before - and After - Much better!

BN have session store in its own name: https://github.com/roytam1/boc-uxp/blob/custom/navigator/components/sessionstore/SessionStore.manifest#L6

Just thought I'd let you know that I fixed my 'everything too large' problem on XP with 'large fonts'. Add '/high-dpi-support=1 /force-device-scale-factor=1' to the command line in the Supermium shortcut. Problem solved!

People do request a lot. That doesn't mean anything. But the main problem is there must be someone who is willing to develop such 64-bit releases. If there is no serious need or strong demand for such stuff, no one will create those versions. It's as simple as that. Even if you don't want to hear that now. On the other hand, that doesn't mean to give up, either.

Okay! Thanks for clarification!

Looking at the quotation from the version history on their homepage, the support for Windows XP seems to have been restored in WINSCP 6.3.2 and that completely unexpected. Unbelievable and great! WinSCP is the FTP client I am using to connect my Android devices with my Windows XP computer via WLAN. I thought support for Windows XP had been discontinued for good. BTW, the most recent version 6.4 is already announced but not released yet. But it will probably not be long in coming.

This site works in New Moon 28 (2024-02-24) 32-bit. No problems here. Here are some screenshots taken from New Moon 28:

I'm sorry, I only used XP for no more than a month in 2006, but the below solution should actually work for older OS, even 32bit ones. This is what I sometimes use for my own custom drivers' signing. The procedure is described in details, Seeing you, Dave, have an Win 10 installation, it shouldn't be a problem to do it there, and then use the signed driver on your XP. https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/windows-driver-docs/blob/staging/windows-driver-docs-pr/devtest/tools-for-signing-drivers.md

That does not mean anything. A lot can be written on such pages about operating system compatibility. As always, the proof is in the pudding. One should actually know that by now, especially when it comes to Windows XP.

You are wrong... Go to https://github.com/artenax/tor/releases On the page, for Tor 0.4.7.8 only the firsts 12 assets are displayed. Below the last asset displayed, If you click on "Show all 14 assets", you will see download links for the last two assets. One of them is tor-0.4.7.8-x86-xp.zip https://github.com/artenax/tor/releases/download/0.4.7.8/tor-0.4.7.8-x86-xp.zip Regards

I tried of course, I also wrote about it, you've missed it.

What's the purpose of your post rather than spam? No one needs your judgemental attitude. But then again, it proves what I wrote before. Reporting increased brightness issue is perfectly fine - it's not "complaining". Again troubles with the translation software? In fact, the brightness increases with each version, 117/118 was tolerable, 121 not. Ho many times do I have to tell you, dark flags do NOT change the font rendering. They simply replace web pages with inverted colours, or white areas with black. Fonts stay the same. Study, study, study.

As promised, some further information about MailNews. It's now my standard email client in Windows XP. All my email service providers are supported by MailNews. I talk about GMX, WEB.DE, Gmail and Outlook.com (formerly Hotmail, now the light web version of Microsoft 365). It works without any problems, simply great. Here are some screenshots from my installation: I installed a lot of extensions from both Binary Outcast and Thunderbird.net, without any modifications, no editing of install.rdf, right out of the box. Furthermore, I activated the embedded calendar Lightning. I am very happy with MailNews, no cumbersome and heavy loading web interfaces anymore. This means I can fully recommend MailNews. Cheers, AstroSkipper

The last XP-compatible version 7.2.35595.0 of eM Client Pro is much too old. It does not do anything. No access to my email service providers. This version is nearly four years old and that's definitely too much for an email client nowadays. Anyway! MailNews is my best choice on Windows XP and works perfectly with all of my email service providers. The browser's web interfaces of my email accounts are heavy on loading and sluggish, and a lot of them work only in a restricted mode.

Actually, I wanted to test the email client OE Classic, but ads in outgoing messages and the limit of only two accounts in their free version are a no-go. That's why I tested IceDove, but unfortunately, it doesn't support OAuth2 or authentication by app password which means no access to Gmail by this email client. That is a pity and therefore not an option for me. But another candidate has long since appeared on the horizon that meets and even exceeds all my requirements. And that is @roytam1's email client MailNews, which is ultimately based on Thunderbird 52. This email client has a real, working Oauth2 protocol that makes accessing Gmail easy. For me, simply perfect and the best choice for Windows XP at the moment.. More about that in the next days! Cheers, AstroSkipper

I installed the last XP-compatible version of eM Client (eM Client Pro 7.2.35595.0) on my system in 2019. It's a fully licensed version. I think it won't work properly with Gmail due to its age, but I didn't try it. It needs ProxHTTPSProxy to look for updates (using IE engine!). No good! Simply too old! The current release of eM Client is 9.2.1577.0 and of course not compatible with Windows XP. For more recent OSs, it is supposed to be a good email client, though. PS: I tested eM Client Pro 7.2.35595.0, it no longer works properly in Windows XP, not even with the simple email service WEB.DE. Uninstalled.

To force the installer of DreamMail Pro 6.6.5.9 to use English instead of Chinese as the installer language, I created a small loader that does this when it calls up the setup program. It must be executed in the same directory in which the setup file is located with its original file name dmpro_setup6.6.5.9.exe. Here is the download link of my loader: https://www.mediafire.com/file/4bh4pybunlmr5hq/ForceEnInstall.7z/file Although some virus scanners detect this file as malicious, it is just a false-positive as always. Use my loader to force an English install, only if you trust me, of course! Cheers, AstroSkipper I installed DreamMail Pro with my self-created loader to force an installation in English (default is Chinese) which worked fine. I tested DreamMail Pro wth two email services, WEB.DE and Gmail. The configuration of WEB.DE was easy and works as expected. The configuration of Gmail was a bit tricky. DreamMail Pro can only work with Gmail if the two factor authentication has been enabled in its account settings to get and use an app password. DreamMail Pro doesn't seem to provide a real Oauth2 protocol as MailNews does. But it works with Gmail, too. The documentation is only available in Chinese (for non-Chinese people not easy, you need Google Translator). The automatical creation of message folders and their handling by DreamMail Pro has definitely to be improved in the next releases.

After my intensive research so far, I have come to the conclusion that the convenient use of Microsoft 365 necessarily entails newer operating systems like Windows 10+ and up-to-date email clients. Strictly according to the motto: Saying A means also saying B (translated German saying ). There are still other solutions like Mail Servers or externally adding protocols to email clients, but this is rather fiddling and beyond comfortable. Fortunately, I do not use the email service Microsoft 365, so my email services including Gmail work under Windows XP with existent, XP-compatible email clients.

After reading the last comments here, I rather think we have to be grateful for every developer who still supports Windows XP nowadays. So I'm glad that programs like Pegasus Mail, DreamMail Pro and MailNews exist at all and are free of charge. They are of course not comparable to the email clients available for Windows 7+, but they work. The current release Pegasus Mail 4.80 from 14.02.2022 is still XP-compatible and quite up-to-date. The beta 4.81 is unfortunately not XP-compatible anymore. I extracted the installer and did a manual install as suggested by Dutch support, but unfortunately without success. The main program winpm-32.exe is the culprit and no longer XP-compatible. I am still in contact with the support and hope that maybe this will be fixed in one of the next releases. As we all know, hope dies last. Cheers, AstroSkipper

Here is the download link of Pegasus Mail 4.51: https://download-us.pmail.com/w32-451.exe Cheers, AstroSkipper PS: Didn't see that the link was already posted. BTW, many old files are on their server which are not listed anymore on their download site. Trial and error is the way!

I didn't try the recent version of Pegasus Mail but it is listed as XP-compatible on their homepage. If it really can't be installed, then they haven't updated the system requirements on their homepage. Anyway! Here is the quotation of their system requirements:

Nothing strange , commie style utopia lifestyle (printing bright colours everywhere, like in win 8) don't go well with normal people. Acid colours are quite "popular" (government suggested?) in Asia. Just look at the icon for 360 explorer.

United Kingdom .... again ? Are you kiddin' ? Looks like this Compa needs to purchase some good VPN service. This all is just so damn obvious , including the first post right after the registration.

Says who ? All fine and dandy , here in Vichy . Just come and visit . Taste our famous food and enjoy fresh air and beautiful landscapes . One of the most wonderful things - we have almost zero russkie tourists now. I really hope it stays this way forever. Prices also went down because of that. This New Iron Curtain = laidback and safe life in Western Europe.

We have the worst of all worlds: everything that should be centralized is decentralized (dating) and everything that should be decentralized is centralized (banking).

Thank you very much for the kind words ! I'm not sure I will after what I've seen during my volunteer shift in Ukraine. Hell is not the word to describe ... Please , don't be sorry for me. I'll survive . I have a thick skin . I just usually get more and more evil and live with it . It's like a tonne of new evil thoughts added to my bank. I've seen some hell before (during my military days) , but this .... this is on the whole new level. I'm not sorry for myself , I'm just sorry for the people who lost everything thanks to russkies/reds and their ideology.
