Yes, ads are back as of this morning :-)

For anyone still struggling to bite the bullet by installing a replacement to MSE (so far I'm finding them all downright scary if not outright destructive and it is just reminding me why I switched to MSE in the first place) these MSE registry changes seem to do two things. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Antimalware\Signature Updates] "ASSignatureDue"=dword:0000016d "AVSignatureDue"=dword:0000016d ...where 16d = 365 days They stop the 2001 Event ID errors for Microsoft Antimalware, plus - and this did surprise me - my MSE has turned from orange back to green. This is deceptively comforting as it is obviously purely cosmetic. Even so MSE is not entirely useless as it is still doing its job even as the signature files become increasingly out of date. I'm guessing this gives 365 days before MSE thinks the 1.293.2807.0 definitions are too old. I'm also guessing the value could be increased even further. Ben.

Well this morning, I have ads back

I've changed my mind. I'm going to keep it up. Y'all have inspired me to not give up. So, XP x64 will remain my main OS for a long time; I can still squeeze more life into it.

... First thing I did was to have a read of wiki's entry for IE10; according to them, there were in total six IE10 Platform Previews released; the first two ran on Win7+, but the last four ran only on Win8. Did your successful test involve IE10 Platform Preview 1 ? It appears that "the first preview release came four weeks after the final release of Internet Explorer 9", so it might be that the code hadn't diverged much then from IE9 Final, hence your ability to run it on Vista... I managed to grab myself a copy of iepreview.msi file, with a digital signature of 2011-11-22 (probably Platform Preview 2), but am reluctant to run it on my main Vista SP2 laptop; what impact, if any, did it have running on your system? Running just the extracted iepreview.exe (hence in semi-portable mode), how was the (installed) version of IE9 affected? ... and what about file associations and the like? Intriguing as your experiment seems, I think it's just that - an experiment; this IE10PP(1?) can't be used as a permanent replacement to IE9, plus it won't receive any security updates from MS; while, OTOH, IE9, with all its inherent flaws, will be patched until Jan 2020... BTW, have you tried running the .msi directly? I did myself; it doesn't warn me of an incompatible OS, in fact it appears as though the installation will proceed once I accept ToS: I haven't though, and cancelled the installation... OTOH, trying to run IE10-Windows6.1-x86-en-us.exe (off-line installer for Released IE10 for Win7) alerts me to the fact that: On a later date, when I'm feeling more adventurous, I might create a Restore Point and then go on with the ie10pp installation, just for the sake of it...
