To be honest, I'm not at all surprised that you have problems with Windows operating systems after reading your posts here on MSFN.

+1, the kernel works for me too, experienced some audio issues in only one game.

It's not true! MSFN doesn't host non-working projects. Don't spread falsehoods. I've been using it for many years, along with other notable members.

@Hackerman Here are two further, more recent SSE alternatives. A Firefox 45 fork: http://o.rthost.win/gpc/files1.rt/firefox-45.9.34-20230930-69f77fc6e-win32-sse.7z and New Moon 27: https://o.rthost.win/palemoon/palemoon-27.10.0.win32-git-20240720-be4fef94e8-xpmod-sse.7z

And if you still need the very old, abandoned Mozilla Firefox 52.9.1 ESR, here is a link: https://web.archive.org/web/20210730234012/https://download-origin.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/tinderbox-builds/mozilla-esr52-win32/1536215521/firefox-52.9.1.en-US.win32.installer.exe Alternatively, one link from the first post still works: http://sdfox7.com/xp/sp3/EOL/firefox-52.9.1.en-US.win32.installer.exe

This also does not correspond to the facts. You may use these tools under Windows 7 for whatever strange reasons, but they were not developed for this operating system at all. Ports Off is listed as compatible with Windows 2000, 2003 and XP, Windows Worms Door Cleaner even only as compatible with Windows XP. So, the recommendation should be to use these tools only under Windows XP, under more modern operating systems without any guarantee and with caution. Actually, this topic should have been rather posted in the Windows XP forum if at all. This is what happens when one "decided to throw up a couple of topics on an almost dead forum".

It means that your OS has accumulated a lot of problems that are causing the slowdown. Because on all computers where I have done a restore, I have not noticed any change in performance after the restore. For example, my main computer I'm writing from now has been restored twice, first in 2017, when my network failed due to a conflict between antivirus and firewall, and second time in 2020, due to a program that installed an incompatible driver. But the OS still works fine today, no problems or bugs. Yes, restore points do not give a 100% guarantee that there will be no problems at all, or it happens that restoring from a point fails, but in 75% of cases the OS will be restored to the state at the time the point was created. Incidentally, the recent worldwide Windows crash could well have been quickly resolved if Win 10 had Recovery Points enabled.

Within Task Manager -> Processes/Details Tab You can match the PID against the result of the second netstat command above, you can then find the image name/end the

I can tell the same yo you, keep your opinion to yourself. This is no way to start a new membership with insults towards the forum and the members.

There's a big blue sign, looking like a round button on the jaclaz's icon, if you point your cursor at it, it says jaclaz is a moderator, the same happens with your profile icon.

I have used Open / Classic Shell all the way back to Win 7, but have never ran SAB / SIB and Open Shell at the same time. Can you say what the benefit of doing so is? What is missing from one or the other that you need both, maybe I'm missing out not running both.

No, all updates are up to date, I installed office and installed Legacy Update, it showed the same list. I also found the KB832668 update, it is required for Win 98-ME, it adds ctfmon. Project2002 and Visio2002 were separate components at the time and not part of the main office suite, so I didn't add them.

The programme LegacyUpdate has been updated and is now available in version 1.9. Changelog from GitHub: Very important is the hint for Windows XP users on their homepage: I'll also update my original post as soon as possible. Cheers, AstroSkipper

Great progress! As far as I could see, Mypal 68 runs now more smoothly. Hope you can fix the plugins (flash) issue in the next release.

Alternatively, @roytam1's browsers New Moon 28 or Serpent 52. Or the Chromium based browser Thorium.

Mypal 68 is a great browser developed by @feodor2. The most recent version is Mypal 68.14.3b. There is even a special SSE release available. Here is the link: https://codeberg.org/Theodor2/Mypal68/releases/tag/68.14.3b

Hi @xrayer Please provide a YouTube link where you noticed that the ad blocker was detected!

@dmiranda Just set the name of the folder as a variable: FOR /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('DIR "yourpathto\Chrome\1*" /a:d /b') do SET FOLDER=%%a ECHO %FOLDER% Regards

Agree with you, one can also use system restoring in case of updates gone wrong.

And another one, also via CMD netstat -a -n -p tcp -o

@lll888 In these days, such programmes like Ports Off or Windows Worms Door Cleaner are no longer really necessary as users are usually protected by a hardware firewall in their routers and a software firewall in Windows. Generally, the user should rather first check which ports are closed or not. This could be done, for example, by the (still maintained) Nirsoft tool CurrPorts.

I would never apply such a batch or reg file, especially if offered in the way you did. For me, they are files from dubious sources. This batch file is meant to disable services in Windows offered from a person nobody knows and who does not provide any detailed information about the reasons for the service selection inside this batch file. This is a no-go. Same applies to your recommended utilities. And then someone should also import these registration keys via reg file, again without any information and explanations. Furthermore, you did not provide any links to the homepages of their origin. Only pictures of two utilities. Sorry but ! And all this logically leads to . And by that I mean no trust in such an offer and no trust in their provider. And that's you. Sorry for the bad news!

Why would you join a "dead forum"?

I wouldn't think you are, even for a second.

Up to Vista system restore was light on HDD, starting Windows 7 - very heavy and bloated, they included tons of files to be copied over without any need. Even some video files! So, probably, the case with the OP. He got fed up with Windows 7's system restore.

I disable system restore, but then again, like someone already wrote, I have mirrored backups on several different HDDs.

@Tripredacus, it's a new spammer Dixel wrote about, not related to the earlier banned figure. There's an influx of similar clones with generic names and early 2000s pics, with spam details in the bio, or "about me", That particular one promotes a social or dating app.

It doesn't work in Opera anymore either, depreciated flag since v110.

Thanks, marvellous!

I'm from Denmark. We don't have German here, it's Danish, yes, like the cookies! Thanks for the advice. Intentionally or not, you missed out the most important part of my post (with the link) where the poster caught Kaspersky with that sign-up email. How the allegedly uninstalled software knew someone uninstalled it? Clearly, not only "trash" registry keys left.

I completed almost all the steps but I get a "verification file setup" error when trying to run setup.exe
