Revo Uninstaller Pro is great. I have the last XP-compatible version 3.2.1 installed. If I had used this tool and not just that junk uninstaller which came with Wise Anti Malware, then I probably wouldn't have had that problem with the driver corpses and the resulting Thorium crashes. That's a very good idea. @Dixel Thanks again for pointing to the more recent NVIDIA graphics card driver in the version 370.90! This one is now installed in my native Windows XP Pro 32-bit system. Runs great.

Thanks! I am glad, too. Especially after this Odyssey. In my many years of experience, anything that you have installed at any time can be uninstalled in one way or another. Antivirus or anti-malware programmes are therefore not a problem for me. I do not. Reformating and reinstalling Windows is only the very last measure for me when even my perfectly functioning imaging system can no longer help. As I have mentioned many times, both of my Windows XP partitions were created in 2004. Since then, there have been only very few cases where I have had to restore a partition image to restore Windows to an earlier point in time. Reformating and reinstalling Windows are a sign of helplessness and loss of control in my eyes. If I am the administrator of a Windows installation, then I want to have control over the system and not the other way round. Only when you identify the cause of a computer issue and solve it at its origin, you really get to know your system and are not helplessly at its mercy. And if this issue comes up again, you then definitely know what to do.

I too had the times when almost all attachments by @VistaLover were not shown at all, now they do, but not always. So I don't think it's related to CentBrowser. I could've looked into, but the content is of no interest to me anyways. @Karla Sleutel, just forget about it, maybe. Or uninstall uBlock Lite and try without it. P.S. Waiting for the usual conspiracy theories.

It was very obvious, of course everyone understands about the deleted storage images, we all discuss external linking. Do you have troubles seeing images here? I assume you aren't on CentBrowser? https://msfn.org/board/topic/186133-thorium/?do=findComment&comment=1270936

Many people use computers to play games. For me, computer problems are like a game. And very often, I win.

Thanks for the tip! I will have a look at this internal site. However, regarding my permanent Thorium crashes, this wouldn't have helped me as the browser wasn't stable enough to let me use this internal feature. It would have closed still before I had a look at it. First of all, I always use Process Hacker, which provides a wealth of information and can also be used to remove drivers.

I understand. hence I suggested that fast and simple utility. Not interested in FF, sorry.

Wait, whaaaat? . At least you're being honest, get my advice for free. Whatchanged. https://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/whatchanged-portable

@Sampei.Nihira, what say you now?

For those that seek laptop drivers, I can suggest this site. https://driverscollection.com/

Perhaps you missed, @NotHereToPlayGames told - WebGL works regardless of that file, he simply blocked it via the flag, at first.

My investigation of all other drivers, which might be problematic in that partition, has been finally finished. After all these already performed measures and all this hypothesis stuff , here's now a little and in my opinion quite interesting proof (what else could you expect from me ): Prerequisites: A native Windows XP Professional SP3 32-bit without any POSReady updates, Thorium SSE2 122.0.6261.171 WINXP x32, Total Commander and Process Hacker. Assertion: Driver remnants from previously uninstalled programmes can cause spontaneous, irregular crashes of the Thorium browser under Windows XP Professional 32-bit. Proof: The current status at the beginning of this proof: Thorium is still crashing spontaneously, sooner or later, without any recognisable pattern. After a thorough investigation of all installed drivers in this Windows XP partition listed in the prerequisites, I found three drivers in the c:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\ folder in the form of SYS files, which are loaded correctly after system startup, though. These files are avgntflt.sys, avipbb.sys and avkmgr.sys whose manufacturer is Avira. They are automatically loaded at system startup and logged in the Event Viewer as properly loaded drivers. That's why I didn't notice them earlier as I only looked there for errors. However, there are no programmes of this manufacturer installed any longer in this partition. This was indeed the crucial hint. After checking and unpacking all installation files that could have installed these drivers in the past, I was able to identify the culprit. It was the crappy Wise Anti Malware 2.2.1, which was installed for a short time for testing purposes only. With the help of Process Hacker and Total Commander, I was able to stop the associated processes and completely remove all three driver files, but only after restarting the system. Immediately afterwards, I opened the Thorium browser, configured it completely and restarted the browser several times. No first launch crashes anymore! Various pages were called up. The browser did not crash even once, no matter what actions were performed. Now, Thorium is working absolute stably in this partition as it is in my POSReady partition. So, these three drivers or at least, one of them (probably the avgntflt.sys driver as it is a filter driver and was more difficult to remove), were definitely the cause of the permanent Thorium crashes. q.e.d. PS: So, forget about my formerly created hypotheses H0! They all have to be rejected with an empirically determined probability of type I error of nearly 0. There is no indication that Thorium requires POSReady updates under Windows XP 32-bit, at least at the moment.

CentBrowser has its own sense of ads, probably that member is well known for the spamming reputation on other forums with the same nickname, I dunno, strange?! On the other hand, we all know some members had troubles posting links, at the same time, others hadn't. But for you it also includes the spacer.png, no?

I did try DefaultBrowser 1.8, I reported back here that it didn't fix the problem. I've just spent the whole afternoon trying to track this problem down by process of elimination, which was very tedious! Finally, I've determined that it's due to the ancient 16 bit 'Run' program that I use as a program launcher. I never managed to get Thorium to run from it, and now I know why! 360Chrome won't run from it directly, but it will run from it using Launcher.exe to run its shortcut, but that doesn't work with Thorium. I have two 16 bit programs running on XP, the 'Run' program launcher, and an on-screen clock. I discovered that if they weren't launched, the problem went away and links from e-mails launched fine in Thorium. Running them brought the problem back. It now appears that I can run them, but the links only work from my e-mail program if I don't run it from the launcher. Running it from the launcher, which I've been doing for years, appears OK, but links then crash Thorium. Why this is happening, I have absolutely no idea! Just as an aside, how did you change the icon in the Thorium launcher program? I've tried doing it with Resource Hacker, but it won't work. I can replace the resource, but I can't then compile it or save it, everything is greyed out. Making other changes are fine, but not changing the icon.

If Thorium works properly in Safe Mode, then your issue is definitely related to a driver or a service as only absolutely necessary drivers and services are loaded in this mode. Switch off first all drivers and services one by one starting with the third-party ones, and check in each case whether the issue has been solved! At least, I would do so. TBH, the Microsoft ones only need to be checked for proper function via the Event Viewer. They are rarely responsible for problems. And I have many Microsoft services started in my Windows XP installations without any problems.

Interesting conversation here since I last posted! My problem getting Thorium and Supermium to run correctly from links in documents is not resolved, but my great thanks go to @rereser who has given me an enormous amount of help with this via PM. The associated registry entries relevant to this were in a bit of a mess on my system, to put it mildly, but I think they are as they should be now! Two likely important things I have now determined. Firstly, the links are being passed correctly to Thorium, what is failing is the running of the browser from them. If I have Thorium already open, the links open in it perfectly, so that is a sort of workaround. I just have to remember to open Thorium first before I click on any links in e-mails! The other is that the problem goes away in Safe Mode. That to me would indicate that it's something that's running on the system which is causing the issue. I've already (I hope) eliminated Malwarebytes from blame, as the problem still happens with it shut down. In light of the previous conversation, I'm now scouring my System32\Drivers folders for unwanted obsolete driver files! Nothing found yet. I will carry on experimenting.

Reformating and reinstalling normally means doing all from scratch and avoiding settings, which were done in the previous Windows installation to not get the same issue(s) as before. The problem is that I have tonnes of modifications, special settings and many other things in my partitions. That's why I work exclusively with my imaging system Norton Ghost 2003, which runs great on old computers like mine. On more recent ones, I use Acronis.

I would sincerely hope that this was already tried! Not necessarily "uninstalled", but disabled or in INCOGNITO MODE.

So much for Revo Uninstaller or similar popular "uninstallers". Nevertheless, congratulations! I frequently check the driver folder and sort out non-Vista junk by the date.

StartAllBack 3.8.4

Topic can be closed if the admins wish to do so.

It can only be used as the WebGL fallback, if you borked something in your release, we aren't at fault Web-Gl didn't work for you. Here, you can familiarise yourself with the official Google docs. https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git/+/refs/heads/main/docs/gpu/swiftshader.md

Great work, I only use Taskbar and I love being able to use Double Height taskbar again (I have Start menu turned off). Sadly, I notice it hangs regularly and restarts itself since upgrade to 3.8.x (and Win11 updated to 24H2!). The taskbar becomes unresponsive and I get spinny blue wheel, then finally restarts itself after up to 30s or more. I'm using Surface Pro 8 i5 16GB RAM.

The app is like $5. I don't know what your gripe is but changes to the taskbar were made because of Microsoft, not because Tihiy wanted to rewrite the taskbar.

@mertsoy Calm down man, no need to go aggressive on Tihiy.

@66cats, save your breath. Apply the ignore settings in the forum. They are not perfect but, well, es lo que hay, we say in Argentina.

what about installing a theme?

try starting browser in safe mode (Help -> Restart Browser in Safe mode) to test again

what new moon version you're using? both v27 and v28 works fine here.

yeah it happens, when you're using shared outgoing proxy(like company web proxy) i.e. too many search operations from same IP.
