It's for goofs. An electrolyte is a still an electrolyte, trust me. I worked with 'em long before you were (probably) born. They made good caps in the end of 70s, early 1980s, which can still be alive. As for your board, I can easily predict they all have high ripples now, it won't be stable when overclocked, etc. So the USB may simply "fell" off, or you killed them with static.

It doesn't matter, the caps have a limited shelf life. But most don't notice because they upgrade every 1-4 years. Probably, you were too young to remember the early 2000, when caps on board lived for 1-2 years at best.

I had an OEM board made by Acer. In 2007 or so. LGA775. It came with an Acer ready-made PC. All USB ports suddenly died. Later I read those were affected by static electricity charges.

DH77KC This board is over 12 years old. It's actually fantastic it worked that long, the capacitors are dead, most likely.

Thanks for that advice, but I was referring to uninstallation/reinstallation of StartAllback, not Windows. I think what has happened is that the StartAllback servers allowed installation on a new PC on my LAN, when it should have registered that installation had already been done on three PCs. As a consequence, regardless of my uninstalling StartAllback and its license on that new PC, when I fired up a PC where StartAllback had originally been installed, that was considered to be in excess of the three license limit. I can still register StartAllback on that new PC, but what I need is for that license to be valid again for the PC where it was originally installed.

The failed 14 y.o. GA-B75M-D3H has the trivial capacitors (electrolytes). Nothing fancy. https://image1280.macovi.de/images/product_images/1280/794307_1__8428640-1.jpg

@Damnation Oh nice, how did you achieve this? Do you change something in the Source Tables from XP SP1 via @Mov AX, 0xDEAD ? I changed soso much in my last acpi.sys, I cant remember all. When you get a special Bsod, I can look for this Dietmar

Thanks for your opinion! Then, I will update the download links as soon as possible.

As @feodor2 already tested this extension in Mypal 68, I think it costs only seconds to test it in a more recent Firefox version. I assume that a developer also has access to more modern Windows versions. But if you want to test this extension, do it and report here your results. I'm not going to do that because I don't care about modern browsers. I definitely don't develop anything for these browsers.

Last time, you stated that you do not surf anymore under Windows XP. You have to stand by your statements at some point. You've given up Windows XP and you've said so everywhere. You only need Windows XP for your oldtimers, but not for everyday surfing. Somehow, you're just a flag in the wind. Like this today and like this tomorrow.

And please, speak only for yourself! You don't know what others think or want. This is a very bad habit. And since you don't actually have any use for this browser, it's not particularly relevant what you would like to see in the development of this browser. Sorry, but that is the truth. But if you want to keep shooting at me, then don't force yourself. But, as is often the case with you, it has absolutely nothing to do with the real issue.

Why should I test things I hate and which are already reported elsewhere to be working? So, there is no contradiction at all and nothing is misleading. This thread is not about modern Firefox browsers. So, I fear you are somehow confused and misled as you didn't really follow this thread and my thread about Mypal 68 in its entirety. And BTW, you did nothing meaningful here. One doesn't have to put his two cents in everywhere. Especially if one doesn't need Mypal 68 at all. And as you already stated, you are a Windows 10 user at home. This browser is not meant to be used under this OS. And you do not surf anymore under Windows XP. So, you have no real use for this browser.

The Custom Buttons extension worked fine in Mypal 68 from the very first release until the previous version 68.14.4b. @feodor2 also has this extension available and can certainly test what's going on. In any case, he has made significant changes. The menu bar is also affected and no longer behaves as it did before. This may also be one of the reasons why some of my CSS stylesheets no longer work. Same applies to the Add-ons Manager. P.S.: @feodor2 And FYI, I also tried xiaoxiaoflood's method you recently pointed to and installed the boostrapped version of Custom Buttons (this extension always comes in two different versions). In this case, the extension options appears again in the Add-ons Manager (no error in the Browser Console in terms of the boostrap.js file) but when installing custom buttons, none of them are available. Although they are listed under the entry Custom Buttons in the Add-ons Manager, they are simply not accessible and their tool bar icons missing in the Customize window. Same to the Custom Buttons menu in the main toolbar. As you may know, Custom Buttons is an extension that also runs in newer Firefox versions up to the very latest. BTW, all was tested by me in a clean, fresh profile. If you need all the no longer working stuff, please let me know. I will then upload it for you. P.S.2: Furthermore, new errors can be found in the Browser Console compared with your previous release, even when opening the about:preferences page. Since you haven't been around here since 27. October, and the bugs are plentiful and serious, I even jumped over my shadow and reported it to your issues on GitHub to make sure you were aware of the problems with your new release.

Hi @feodor2! Thanks for your new release and all your efforts to improve Mypal 68! Unfortunately, I have to report that my beloved Custom Buttons extension is no longer working due to the changes you made in Mypal 68.14.5b. Furthermore, some UC.JS scripts have stopped working. Same applies to some CSS stylesheets. All of them have been working fine in Mypal 68.14.4b but in your new release, they do not work anymore. Although the Custom Buttons extension can be installed, the extension options is missing and when installing some custom buttons, they do not appear. Neither they are listed under the entry Custom Buttons in the Add-ons Manager nor their tool bar icons are shown in the Customize window. The CB menu in the toolbar to create buttons is also missing. The Browser Console shows errors when reading the boostrap.js file of this extension. Try it yourself as you already have the Custom Buttons extension! At the moment, I will stay with Mypal 68.14.4b. Too much is not working in Mypal 68.14.5b.

Waoooh, big step forward. Just now no stopping video at youtube any longer with this version 68.14.5b of MyPal for XP Dietmar

@N100dc Here is the link. There is a new Beta-Bios, but I have not tested. This here works for CSM and XP Dietmar https://ufile.io/zk9i1a2j

@D.Draker Until now, on really ALL boards that I have and any OS, I notice the going downspeed of any USB after copying about 40 Gbyte, to a speed of about 10MByte/s. On this nice ASRock N100DC-ITX this does not happen. So, Intel makes something different in its hardware for USB Dietmar

@legacyfan KB4056615 is replaced by KB4463103

You did not provide any detailed information what you are looking for. What about KB numbers? I assume you are looking for these two updates: KB4056615 and KB4056941. Use the Windows Update Catalog! I found them, but the German language versions, though. Logically! I am located in Germany. You will be offered the English ones in your country.

Are you serious? Really? No offense meant, but what world do you live in? XP SP3 went EoS on April 8 2014 (and POSReady 2009, on Apr 9 2019). Now, we're on Apr 26 2021, just over two years after that, what on Earth justifies believing MS did that by mistake, while striving to keep backward compatibility with an OS they'd rather had disappeared already? They wouldn't be able to care less even if they bothered to try it! Come on, wake up to reality, it's time already! And make no mistake, I do love XP SP3 and actually use it as my main OS to this day.
