You could also try to install the older update, KB4019276 https://msfn.org/board/topic/177994-tls-1112-and-vista-issue-no-options/ The thread contains also a note about possibly needing (of course if either update is installed) to modify also the contents of Wow6432Node\CRYPTO on x64 machines.

Please read this topic "Kext: DIY KernelEx extensions" on Win9x Member Projects. Kstub822 is obsolete. This configuration makes no sense. Remove it from the end and learn how to handle it first . And read "KernelEx 4.5 Core Updates".

Hey, @loblo! For the record: you do rock! I installed it by hand from the .zip on XP SP3, while keeping the files from JRE 1.8.0_251 that do not exist in the Azul release, including those older ones listed some posts above (and replacing sunmscapi.dll by the one from JRE 1.8.0_241). The result is the one shown below:

Just found out that the latest Google Earth Pro works on Vista with the new Kernel. Im not sure if it supported Vista but Google says that the min OS was Windows 7. Great news! BUT.. you need to install the latest IE9 patches, otherwise you will receive Certificate errors in GEP

I'd appreciate being talked through exactly how to do this!

Thank-you Gansangriff for your input. Wonder how much further the Windows 9x DOS-based systems could have come with long term active support. Guess we'll never know. This MSFN forum seems to be the most active for Windows 9x information. There are at least a couple other sites that i periodically check out, if anyone's interested, no JavaScript needed. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/f/9/windows-9598me/ https://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/windows-98

... My e-mail client on my 12-year-old Vista Home Premium SP2 32-bit laptop is, to this day, the default one provided by the OS, i.e. Windows Mail; while I rarely use today IE9 itself to browse the web, Windows Mail does use the IE9 engine to preview and display e-mails; without TLS 1.2 support present (in IE9), you risk having e-mails, certainly the ones in Rich Text (HTML) format, render broken, e.g. if in-line images are served exclusively over TLS 1.2! Using Windows Mail in 2019 might not be the smartest choice security-wise; but AFAIAA, very few current e-mail clients are being actively developed with Vista in mind; the one several of our XP friends have migrated to is the Interlink (a Win7+ client developed by notorious Matt A. Tobin) fork called MailNews, maintained by roytam1, the same dev who gives us New Moon 28 and Serpent 52.9.0/55.0.0!
