If we stop updating the forum software, we'll lose the anti-spam tools that help us keep this space bearable. Therefore, it's not an option. All those minor cosmectic annoyances are an inseparable part of the package, so we're stuck with them. So, please, stop nit-picking because of 'em all and, with all due respect, get a life!

Welcome to the MSFN!

I wouldn't touch that. There's an EOL timestamp in recent versions of Flash Player. It can be altered so latest Flash Player continues to work as usual. Find a hexadecimal string 000040463E6F7742 in NPSFWXX_32_0_0_465.dll (XX = bitness, either 32 or 64) with a hex editor, replace it with eg. 0000C02055148042, that will just change the year from 2021 to 2040. It's a unique string, so only one will be found as long as you got the right file. The string represents time elapsed since Unix epoch in milliseconds, stored as 64-bit double precision float number (no fractional part). The DLLs are in: C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash - 64-bit Flash on 64-bit OS or 32-bit Flash on 32-bit OS C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash - 32-bit Flash on 64-bit OS This is for NPAPI version, but should be doable with PPAPI and ActiveX versions as well, though I haven't tried those. Doing this obviously invalidates the digital signature on the DLL. Pale Moon (and probably other browsers) doesn't mind. I wonder if Flash app could check it. Also, PE checksum is invalidated, but that can be fixed with certain tools. I think there's a high probability that altering Flash binaries doesn't cause any side effects beyond what modifications you did achieve.

Hello My Name Is legacyfan and I'm 24 and i run windows xp As my daily driver and i like old technology like old computers and gadgets and stuff i m also a really big fan of retro game systems-legacyfan

Hi! I love technology, especially the old hardware ones that do fascinate me. I do programming, but just a amateur. Hope you all have a nice day!

https://www.kongregate.com/games/fairypoet/wings-of-genesis ... on the same 360EEv12 version, with PPAPI flash file pepflashplayer32_32_0_0_465.dll hex-patched according to instructions posted previously by @UCyborg :

Well, that's good to know! On a side note, I just noticed that you've become a moderator, so congratulations for the promotion, Dave!

Welcome to MSFN. Enjoy.

You took 1st January, I took 12th January. The converter you linked converts to local time, you need UTC time.

Block removed for several countries including Russia, South Korea, Romania etc.

Another four updates this month! KB4493181 (Office) KB4493186 (Excel) KB4493145 (Word) KB4493143 (Office) Not bad for something that was supposed to be out of support months ago! EDIT: Just to add there is also KB4493142, but that does not seem to apply to my system. No MSO.DLL replacement this month.

You have to convert milliseconds to hex with a converter such as this one. Input the number, enable Raw Hexadecimal option then Convert. The hexadecimal result has to be read backwards, so if you get: 42|80|14|55|20|C0|00|00 You need to replace the original hex string with: 00|00|C0|20|55|14|80|42 Vertical bars added for clarity.

Unsurprisingly, today (2021/01/12): This is on 360EEv12 (build 1592) and latest PPAPI (32.0.0.465):

Thank you!

Welcome.. see ya round the forum(s)

Wait... there is a life beyond MSFN...? How come nobody ever told me this information....I'll see if I can buy one...I think I have a coupon.

My Flash-based screen savers have all stopped working now, on Windows XP and Windows 10. They are now just showing a Flash logo with a blue "i" symbol, which presumably would go to information about what's happened if you could actually click on it! I'm pleased to say that so far, the standalone Flash Player on XP is still opening and playing .swf files quite happily. Whether this will last remains to be seen of course. EDIT: I now see that the standalone "projector" players (only) are still available to download from Adobe, so maybe this will be OK long term.

From Belgium, hello @WindowsLover2000 and welcome to MSFN! I wish you enjoy the forums! Have a nice day. hpwamr

They have an EFI folder on the second partition. Hidden Sectors should be equal to diskpart now. Both use the offsets from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\vds\Alignment I guess this is a Grub problem, they booting attach to VMWare in BIOS and UEFI mode.

Hi LoneCrusader, Thank you for your donation of $50.00. We look forward to improving the forums and stay online with your donation. Thanks MSFN

It just stays enabled on mobile

Don't like either. The new position directly as part of the name feels ultra nationalistic, like slamming one's flag into people's faces whenever they see someone.

v13 repack has been updated to build 2206

Got USB3 to work with PAE under a new driver. Also screwed with the audio driver some more, it's fine now as well.
