  5. I've decided to give up with Avast. They've just released a new version of the offline installer for 18.8, which is supposed to have fixed the problems seen on some XP systems. Of course when I tried it there was no difference at all, the main service still will not run. The guy at support says that's it, there will be no more versions of 18, so that's the end of it as far as I'm concerned. Such a shame as I would dearly liked to have found out what the problem was! The latest version of AVG does work, in that at least its main service will run, but still has problems with other services not running as they should. I'm using Malwarebytes Premium at the moment, which has an issue with one of its services, which won't start as a boot service, but generally works fine. The general feeling with the Avast and Malwarebytes support people is that at least in my case the problems may well be simply because my machine is so non-standard. In fact the Malwarebytes guy said that he wasn't even sure that Malwarebytes had ever been tested on a dual processor machine with a server motherboard! The fact that my machine is multi-boot with non-standard paths in the OS installation may be a factor too. Anyway, I'll stick with Malwarebytes for now, it is working and apparently doing its job!

  6. Bios above 5th gen Intel needs to be patched to support ACPI under XP . It is risky but certain cases Reactos ACPI driver can fix it . As for Intel usb 3.x , it too can be fixed by patching bios.

  8. Because Discord's use of your mic requires WebRTC which is not present in NM at all, try using Basilisk for that instead. (and read the topic @VistaLover has provided a link to, one of his posts there to be exact, which explains what you need to do to get it working)

  9. That page is overly restrictive in that regard, for some reason. And usually search engine is not a xpi, unfortunately. But if you need to add just the Google search, here's a zip of it, put google.xml into moonchild productions/pale moon/<your.profile>/searchplugins/ and restart browser. Also, there was a site that allowed creating your own custom search engines. Or was it an addon... Can't find that exact thing just now, but here is a seemingly good enough alternative: https://tobtu.com/customsearch.php google.xml.zip

  10. I don't get why people are saying Windows 7 is EOL on 2020... We have at least until the end of 2021

  11. I agree with all of you. It's just FUD. I highly doubt that 7 will suddenly stop booting when it hits its EOL (it would be a very insidious thi0ng indeed if that were to happen). XP never did (I bought into the hype at first, but I've since smartened up, and now I use it (well, XP x64) in a VM on my MacBook semi regularly to do "PC things"). In fact, thanks to the efforts by roytam and other's (not to mention the POS hack) it's still quite alive and well, and, with so many talented and dedicated people, it will remain so for many years to come (as will Vista, 7, and 8.x). An OS is only worthless when it loses all software support; this happened with Win2k; it is largely the same as XP, and indeed, at first, many programs, unless specifically written for one version or the other, were 100% compatible with both. After XP SP2, however, it and 2k diverged quite a bit, with the eventual result being that they became mostly incompatible with one another on an API level (2k-era programs mostly ran fine on XP, but but trying to run many XP programs (aside from the simplest) on 2k was hit or miss). Again, thanks to Black Wing Cat, this disadvantage has been largely negated (many things still don't work 100%, but the important stuff does, like newish browsers). TL;DR is that when there's a certain percentage of very dedicated people who want to use a certain Windows version, no matter how unsupported it may become, they'll find a way to make it work. c

  12. I've found a good use for my Linksys WUSB54GC usb 2.0 adapter. They are still not to hard to find these days( they grey colored ones). You can have WPA2 ( referred to as AES) also with Hawkings HWUG1 utility still available for download on their site. https://hawkingtech.com/product/hwug1/?pid=1131&download=driver_winXP_HWUG1.zip . I just had to go into the inf file and add my device id for it to work. I guess you could do this for anything that uses the RT73 chip.

  14. @Roffen or anyone You should not have any issues downloading the Firefox installers as long as you have XP SP3. The certificate errors would be due to outdated XP service packs, not outdated Internet Explorer. I have downloaded Firefox on dozens of machines with Internet Explorer 6, 7, and 8 with SP3. This is successful because SP3 contains updated CRYPT32, RSAENH and other cryptographic files and libraries which are required for SHA2 support, among many other improvements and fixes. For example, if you attempt to open secure websites such as Outlook Webmail on IE 6 with XP SP2, it will fail. But, with SP3 it will succeed. (You should also change IE's settings to TLS instead of SSL because of the POODLE vulnerability). http://sdfox7.com/xp/files/ol365ssl.jpg http://sdfox7.com/xp/files/ol365tls.jpg For future reference, you can download XP SP3 directly from my FTP or the Internet Archive: http://sdfox7.com/xp/sp3/windowsxp-kb936929-sp3-x86-enu.exe or https://web.archive.org/web/20140119014510/http://download.microsoft.com/download/d/3/0/d30e32d8-418a-469d-b600-f32ce3edf42d/WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU.exe I also have the installers for Internet Explorer here (IE 6 is included in XP so the download link is unnecessary): Internet Explorer 7: http://sdfox7.com/xp/sp2/IE7-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe or https://web.archive.org/web/20130509183828/http://download.microsoft.com/download/3/8/8/38889dc1-848c-4bf2-8335-86c573ad86d9/IE7-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe Internet Explorer 8: http://sdfox7.com/xp/sp3/IE8-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe or https://web.archive.org/web/20130510043925/http://download.microsoft.com/download/C/C/0/CC0BD555-33DD-411E-936B-73AC6F95AE11/IE8-WindowsXP-x86-ENU.exe

  15. So... Steam updated itself to a version released on January 4th, and... it still works, I'm able to still browse the Steam Store and download games I, uhm... bought. At this point I don't know how to explain why does it still work, and even still get new updates (despite having the -noverifyfiles parameter added to Steam's shortcut, which I think I can remove now), but I guess I shouldn't worry about it and just enjoy it while I still can.

  17. Here's how it went: Pale Moon 27 (Tycho platform) did support Vista (and higher), but not XP; the New Moon 27 fork was created by @roytam1 to restore WinXP support; I can assure you that NM27 runs on Vista just as good (possibly better) as it does on WinXP... Then Moonchild Productions created Pale Moon 28, built on the UXP platform; UXP forked MozillaESR 52, which did support both XP+Vista; but Moonchild Productions removed both these OSes from their forked platform, so that UXP now supports Win7+. To the rescue came, again, @roytam1 , who restored support in UXP for BOTH WinXP and Vista; in fact, New Moon 28 and Serpent 52.9.0 are almost the only browser choices for Vista users nowadays, browsers which are under continued development and not EOL'd... And when have I disputed that? I merely said: Unless numerous other members (on XP/Vista/whatever) come forth here with the same affliction as yours, i.e. severe performance degradation of New Moon 28 as the result of the ported (from Australis) audio-tab-icon enhancement, let's, for the sake of argument, assume that, for the time being, what you're experiencing has to somehow do with your own setup(s). For the record, the last NM28 build without the feature was (x86): palemoon-28.2.0a1.win32-git-20181117-c94825c86-xpmod.7z and this feature/enhancement was introduced first in (x86): palemoon-28.2.0a1.win32-git-20181124-b37e8f87c-xpmod.7z (and is still present in latest build...); so people reading this should test and report back, if this is to be troubleshot... Calm down, please ! You have to understand first that the New Moon 28 builds are provided by @roytam1 as a pure courtesy to WinXP and Vista users and under no circumstances is he any part of the decision making with regards to browser features that get implemented (or not!); the entire browser code is being modified upstream by the Moonchild dev team, @roytam1 only intervenes to the extent of making that code successfully compile and run on XP+, NOTHING MORE... This has been explained before in this thread, but I suspect its sheer size has now become a deterrent for new members to read it... If you have a gripe about this feature, you should've directed your frustration over at Moonchild et company, not at Roy; but Moonchild only support "new" Win OSes (Win7+) and "new" hardware, so even that is a moot point... To re-iterate, you may indeed have a genuine issue on your setup, but: 1. It's wrong to generalise as if every NM28 user on every possible configuration has that same issue (and issue directives/guidelines as to what people should or shouldn't install in their browsers)... 2. Even if you're the only one with the problem, you'd have to provide ample details and reproduction steps to the current maintainer so he's in a position to first reproduce and, second, hopefully offer you some fixes for it... FYI, the code in the upstream repo that implemented this enhancement you detest is covered in UXP Pull Request #874: https://github.com/MoonchildProductions/UXP/pull/874 You'll find there all links to individual commits... ======================== OT: Maybe it's my own false sense, but to me you're coming off as a tad aggressive in your last two posts (of a total of 3); this isn't very becoming of "new" members, especially when you expect feedback/help from other members here - we are all volunteers and, of course, no one is perfect, but we do try our best to help (at least I do... ).

  18. I inadvertently found out that Internet Explorer 9 is again, as of late, able to play back youtube videos, so it appears Google (the owner of youtube) have patched their scripts to cater to IE9; this surely comes as a (nice ) surprise, but the reason behind such a move seems inexplicable to me... Perhaps was to support WS 2008 SP2 (officially supported until Jan 2020), on which IE9 is the only version of the native Microsoft browser to run, but I'm not convinced... For whatever reason, youtube now has been restored to its previous state in IE9, serving standalone MP4 encodes over HTML5 (usually only in 360p quality variant - some videos with more relaxed copyright also come with an additional (HD) 720p variant). As before, there's no way to go full screen: The MP4 decoding relies on system h.264/aac decoders (Windows Media Foundation), which means you need installed both SP2 + Platform Update Supplement for Vista... OT: Notice in the top blue ribbon how Google are eager to push their own (spyware of a) browser, even on a currently unsupported platform (i.e. Vista)...
