@reboot12 I am writing this to you from the 9560 Wlan driver on XP SP3, niccceeeeeee Dietmar PS: About 500h work and I build about 2000 not working drivers..

Here is the solution signed by the driver: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/resolve-the-issue-of-nvidia’s-latest-win7-driver-not-working-due-to-the-signature！.87141/ But as for updating CUDA, I haven't come across that—it's probably not possible.

that might be something for j7n we recently disgusted a related problem in relation to your question often new drivers use a engine that is written for a engine in newer windows (like 10+) this is called a kmdf driver or wdf engine https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/wdf/building-a-wdf-driver-for-multiple-versions-of-windows https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/wdf/kmdf-version-history it often comes like this and says something like "install windows 10/11 i got this" but its not true reality is that it is a software engine not a hardware but the maker (nvidia) dont open source their driver (for whatever reason ? they sell hardware after all ?) then important to see there is a usermode cuda what later gets translated to kernelmode cuda the kernelmode cuda controls the real things like input output and control (like settings) (that are the 3 basics) and this part is not operating system based - the real questions would be like how the nvidia driver is doing that, or what is the real code ? they do offer a SDK but that SDK dont offer the real thing - its a pre-engine and highly written for win10+ having the right control codes i/o could be done from any operating system - but we dont have that cuda is the real code that control the things on the hardware video card then somebody said they managed to fix your answer: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/3-posts-for-extending-win7-on-new-hardwares.89805/ notice also nvidia can change that cuda functions or versions

I'm getting too old for much of the new stuff too - a 1GB+ build environment would definitely be unacceptable for me. Btw.: your yt-dlp (version 2026.01.29.071857) runs flawlessly here since end of january (on "Bullseye")

@reboot12 Hmm... That looks rather complicated to do on Windows (I'm old...). Maybe I'll just have to learn to cross-compile FFmpeg on Linux with the native tools available. The thing is, the MinGW environment also has to be installed (1136MB).

Ok. I have just updated to the New Moon 28 and Serpent 52 releases from 20260502, and I can confirm that Palefill 1.30 can again be installed without any modifications.

... That question means that you have actually missed my previous post here ; latest NM28 gladly accepts palefill-1.30.xpi as a compatible extension (and doesn't disable it permanently, if already installed) ... Yes, that's right. I definitely missed your post. Thanks for the info! In all honesty, I didn't test on latest St52, as I left that as an exercise for you ; the observed bug with palefill (and other extensions that have strictCompatibility=true inside their instal.rdfs) was caused by ae7c40d, which first appeared in the 20260418 UXP releases (actual buildID dates may be slightly different inside individual apps); that commit was reverted in 12e7d14, which first appears in this weekend's (20260502) UXP releases; since these are platform-wide commits, I have no reason to think that St52 hasn't been "fixed", while NM28 has; if you find otherwise, please let us know ,,, Best regards. I'll soon install the most recent updates and test them.

I should mention at this point that I started creating own UC.JS scripts for userChrome.js loaders in January 2025. I deepened my knowledge of JavaScript, CSS and a little HTML/XML/XUL and wrote a lot of scripts. My initial target was Mypal 68/74/78. This is all very time-consuming and is one of the reasons why I have made myself very scarce on MSFN since then. All of my beloved custom buttons for the CB extension have been converted to UC.JS scripts. In all three browsers, Mypal 78, New Moon 28 and Serpent 52, only a few extensions are still installed. Most additional functions or buttons are generated by these scripts.

I have ported my UC.JS script "Favicon In Url And Tab Bar", which I originally created for Mypal 78, to New Moon 28 and modified it to show the native brand icon on https://o.rthost.win/ in New Moon 28. It is of course also working in the bookmarks toolbar.

@roytam1 First of all, thanks for all your releases and for trying to fix the favicon issue on your server! Today, I have noticed that you again changed your favicon. But this doesn't work properly. Your favicon is shown in the tab and in the url bar, but not inside the bookmark in the personal toolbar. With your changes on your server o.rthost.win, I now get the following error message: The character encoding of the HTML document was not declared. The document will render with garbled text in some browser configurations if the document contains characters from outside the US-ASCII range. The character encoding of the page must be declared in the document or in the transfer protocol. o.rthost.win While connecting to your server o.rthost.win, I was additionally blocked by Google due to allegedly unusual activities. The captcha that you then have to solve is not displayed in New Moon 28. And of course, error messages without end. If looking for good favicons, you have a nice globe inside your source code of New Moon 28: chrome://mozapps/skin/places/defaultFavicon.png. Or maybe, your New Moon icon: chrome://branding/content/icon32.png?

Have you already tested it with the most recent releases of New Moon 28 and Serpent 52? 🤔

When uploading a favicon filled with zeros, then an empty image is the inevitable consequence. TBH, I would have preferred a real favicon too, but a less dirty console is even better.

@roytam1 Thanks for uploading a dummy favicon.ico file to your server o.rthost.win!

Today, I have updated to New Moon 28 (20260418) and I can also confirm that GitHub websites are running much better than in older releases. As mentioned in previous posts, I will avoid using the release 20260425.

@roytam1 For ages one permanently gets error messages regarding the absence of the favicon.ico file in the root directory of your server o.rthost.win when visiting. Would it be possible for you to put one there? That would make my browser console look a lot less red. And if you can fix it that easily, it should be done in seconds. I would be delighted in any case. Of course, it's up to you. Just a polite request.
