i think it was possible to get 1050ti working by manually adding the device in the inf files, but the performance is very limited.

There are many reasons Windows 7 is an objectively superior OS to Windows 10 and why I will use it until I die. This is one of them: Naturally, Windows 10 users won't get this notification. That would, you know, actually improve the UX, so that would be anti-Windows 10. Guess you'll have to wait for the Sunday paper to tell you what you missed.

The WidevineCDM (v1.4.9.1088) inside official Basilisk as well as in Serpent 52.9.0 has been broken since August 14th 2019 (!), because evil Google , the current owners, have de-authorised that deprecated version from receiving decryption licenses (i.e. keys) from sanctioned WV lic-servers... WidevineCDM has always depended (in Firefox-type browsers) on system provided patented decoders (IOW, WMF), thus it used to require at least Vista SP2 with Platform Update Supplement (PUS); when one visits a WV test page with latest Serpent 52 in Vista+, e.g. https://bitmovin.com/demos/drm , you sadly get: And the above is the good scenario ; some heavily DRM'd sites like the Spotify Web Player (https://open.spotify.com/browse) won't load at all once they discover you have a broken WV browser implementation... After the demise of v1.4.9.1088, Google have moved on to releasing WV series 4.10 (dropping the initial 1 in version numbering); Moonchild Productions were tracking WV v4.10 implementation in (practically only) Basilisk in UXP issue #962: https://repo.palemoon.org/MoonchildProductions/UXP/issues/962 But time went on... and on... and on... without a solution in sight... To add insult to injury, Google had retained Vista SP2 support in WidevineCDM up to (and including) v4.10.1196.0 (SHA-2 file sig of Oct 9th 2018), which was also revoked on 2019-08-14... Later 4.10 WV versions ALL call the KERNEL32 function TryAcquireSRWLockExclusive which doesn't exist under Vista SP2... So, all hope is currently lost for Vista SP2 users to have a future working WV implementation inside St52 (32-bit) - I'm leaving any Vista ExtKernel references out of the picture here, as we're nowhere even close to a fully functional x86 edition yet; but I feel the ExtKernel is OT for this discussion... If, and that is a very big IF, MCP somehow manage to port a working WV 4.10 implementation in Basilisk, then that would mean that Serpent 52 users on Win7+ could also profit... But, most sadly (but not unexpectedly, if you ask me), the above scenario won't ever happen: Dropping in-browser DRM from the platform @roytam1 : By the look of things, they'll be removing all EME supporting code from their tree (having removed a long time ago support for the deprecated Adobe Primetime CDM ); "we", OTOH, have kept support for Adobe Primetime inside Serpent 52 for the sake of very few users on Windows XP who prefer to use that CDM as a h264+aac decoder instead of the ffvpx patched library; @dencorso , do you still fall within that category? 1. What is the opinion of Serpent 52 users here? Is AP CDM still needed in 2021? 2. If the majority deems yes, will it be easy enough for you Roy to selectively remove ONLY Widevine supporting code (which should be purged one way or another, if it has no applicable uses anymore...) ?

Well, if you use these parameters, on the next normal check you may get those "cleanup" messages. And since you run the check on the system drive, it won't be able to do it right away and will ask you to schedule the check for the next boot... For now, run chkntfs /D , then chkdsk c: /f /x , then reboot. After this avoid running chkdsk manually for a while unless you have a real reason to do so. Use the PC normally and see if these cleanups appear again.

Try to put the LAV filters in the NM program directory

Thanks for the explanation, @VistaLover I guess NM28 will stay mostly unused here as long as NM27 works fine for me... Ctrl-TAB is limited to 6 previews as can be seen from your screenshot. For now i've adopted the Tab Groups extension, the only thing i don't like about it is that the grid covers the whole Serpent window, but i'll get used to this.

This looks suspicious. I've never seen these parameters be used automatically, only when i manually include them out of curiosity. Start regedit and check the value of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\BootExecute

Yes, I installed with the online installer. I figured out what was going on, I immediately disabled the FlashHelperService, and without it, that error appears.

NM27 (Tycho ~ Mozilla 38 platform) and NM28 (UXP ~ Mozilla ESR 52 platform) profiles are, in essence, non-interchangeable; I had always preached in the past in these forums that the only safe/sane way to upgrade to NM28 (from NM27) is to create a fresh pristine NM28 profile and then selectively transfer items from the NM27 one... If you won't adhere to that advice, then be aware that the profile-upgrade-process works only one-way (27->28); once a NM27 profile has been touched by NM28, it is rendered in many aspects corrupted for NM27 use... As others have said, the workaround is to launch via command-line arguments: NM27: "path-to-palemoon.exe[27]" -no-remote -profile "path-to-NM27-profile" NM28: "path-to-palemoon.exe[28]" -no-remote -profile "path-to-NM28-profile" Paths to profiles can be absolute or relative to the respective .EXEs; just to be on the safe side, I'd use absolute paths... If you don't include the -no-remote switches, then you won't be able to launch both; but I strongly discourage simultaneous running of both versions - and accidents do happen, so back-up profiles regularly... ... But you are forgetting that they are different applications, more specifically St52 uses Australis while NM28 doesn't (and this is app-specific code you're requesting to change...). To elaborate some more, the infinitely wise Mozilla devs () first crippled the browser.allTabs.previews Firefox feature, see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=844952 and its many duplicates, and then, in a fashion we've been very accustomed to during the massacre that led to Quantum, they were unable to fix back, so they axed the pref altogether, along with supporting code: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=670684 While this isn't exactly what you asked for, in Serpent 52 you can enable the pref browser.ctrlTab.previews (default is false) and by clicking CTRL+TAB you get a graphical preview of 6 of your (many) opened tabs: ... but when you select "Show all XX tabs" (29 in my screenshot), this will only trigger the "List All Tabs" drop-down menu (which, incidentally, doesn't include pinned tabs ) ...

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/windows-finger-command-abused-by-phishing-to-download-malware/ It is interesting to note that Finger.exe is also available in Windows XP. The exe is in the "System32" folder. This type of attack will probably never affect our OS. But considering the rarity of use of the Finger.exe command, it might be interesting to consider blocking it. Adding a rule to block the connection in your firewall has the same effect. P.S. For OS after W.XP, for example w.10 x64, the rules are at least 2 because you also need to lock the exe in "syswow64".

It's indirect protection. If they change the method of attack it will be in vain. I personally prefer to use a direct block. I put a custom rule in NVT OSArmor that blocks Finder.exe: [%PROCESS%: *\finger.exe] In OSes later than W.XP it is easy to get a firewall hardening for the most abused commands via the tool below: https://hard-configurator.com/download/ LOLBin - Add If a rule is not in the list it is easy to add it.

Thats great! Im going to try it to install office 2010 updates

To my surprise, it does find all the updates, even for Office 2010!! Also offered are Visual Studio updates, Ultimate Extras and even Windows Live Essentials 2011!

Probably not... except if hardcoding a full path to a specific profile in the commandline. But mixing up those default folders is probably a very bad idea. 1) What I'm doing with any Mozilla browsers if possible, is to use portable versions, with profiles inside program folder. 2) If not portable, am using the Profile Manager, to juggle multiple profile folders inside the same settings folder. So far I just let it ask me at every startup which of the profiles shall be used, but it has preselected the "last used" profile, and occasionally I click blindly too quickly, after having used a different browser version last time, and oops... ;-) Luckily no fatal disaster yet, my non-portable browsers seem all too old anyway. 3) A safe way, after having created multiple profiles with Profile Manager, is to hardcode a specific profile subfolder in the commandline for the browser start. 4) Another tricky way roytam1 has included in his special fx36 fork (firefox 3.6 with TLS1.2): the program folder contains a bat-file with a hardcoded path to profile folder in this same (program) folder. If starting the browser with this bat-file, it's like being portable :-) .

you can't easily to downgrade profile from NM28 to NM27, this requires places.sqlite schema change this will require porting large chunk of code from NM28 to SP52, since NM28 is forked from FX24 UI, porting may cause UI breaking heavily, and I don't have enough time for porting and testing. only build config is changed, so something requires SSE2 will not work properly (for example, wasm)

Find vmx86.sys in system32\drivers on the system you copied VMware from, then copy it to the Vista system.

Windows 8.1 is a SFF/tablet/emerging market SKU, which could only be the reason why it was installed on that HP. As an example, in the US, that OS would not be allowed to be put on that hardware, as can be seen in the specs which primarily shows Windows 7. https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03364089 If you had purchased this PC new from HP and it came with this OS, then you would need to get the recovery media from HP. Otherwise, you'd need to get a new license for an OS, Windows 8.1 or otherwise for reinstall. Because Windows 8.1 with Bing is not a retail edition, the installation media is not made available to the public.

oh yeah fixed mine too.

This has got a little weird. I can play the sample videos, but actually not the "DreamScene Content". So I checked with my non-w7mfplated VM and it is capable of both. While with W7 media foundation, it only plays wmv content and not mpg content. The sample videos are wmv and the "dreamscene content" is mpg. That may be one of the main reasons why DreamScene for W7 wasn't well received, but need to check further. Update: installing K-Lite codec pack basic 15.9 has fixed the dreamscene issues.

Since we're talking about media foundation, is your dreamscene working? Mine is broken. https://prnt.sc/w2q6om - Dreamscene encountered critical error.

that what i thought. I don't care myself honestly, but still kinda bummer.

I just checked and it is the media foundation replacement that kills it (one of the tests it does is "checking Windows media playback"; a system with updated kernel files but not media foundation ones has no issues.

My best guess is that we replaced the media foundation with files from windows 7, but not 100% sure

Oh yeah that's also true for me. But I got bsod instead of this message.

The windows experience index no longer works https://imgur.com/JIYX3B0 I don't care about it but just to let you know

Well, @Jaguarek62 was right when presuming people here would be familiar with any of the standard messages from any module of an NT-Family OS, simply because it actually is a reusable template commonly seen, as @asdf2345 nicely explained. Bear with me, please, your going like ... ... with all due respect and wishing to cause no offense but just state a known fact, just shows how people from the younger generations are more sensitive than us old timers. While you're right about the rules and all, you're failing to factor in the different generational sensibilities (we have members ranging from tweeners to 80+ years old, here at MSFN) : *nobody* here wanted to disrespect you nor offend you, and your participation is quite welcome, but older people like me tend to be seen as rude by younger people, nowadays, when, in fact, we just mean to be straightforward.

It's not like they killed your dog or something, this is too much for a basic everyone knows the error message argument.

How did I went off topic?? I'm asking about api missing in ntdll I really don't understand why are you so angry? I said sorry, didn't want to make you this mad. but I was not off topic. I really have no idea why this is getting so intense right now

The English requirement on the forum is for text posts, not for screenshots. Our users are from all over the world and we have no expectation that the language on their computers is in English. If you see something in a screenshot in another language and you do not know what it says, you can use an OCR translator, or transcribe it yourself into a translator program, or worse case, just ask the poster to translate for you. Otherwise, ignore it if you do not want to go through the effort to try to help someone.

IE 8 , I'm sure.

windows 8.0 vanilla user here, no problems on ryzen 5 1600x, gtx 1060, seems super stable also for some reason ms supports 8.0 with the new edge chromium, so I use that browser as well

Well yes, but last one is from january 2020 so you still need WUFUC to function. For example reliability updates to support new browsers: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4534297/windows-8-1-kb4534297

Except you can install wufuc and continue using windows update (no microsoft catalog updates, no manual search)

This is actually about what I'm talking about. Just install .net 4.0 and everything will work like on the newer versions of Windows! Also I remember that osu! did not gave me this error in 2019. Weird thing

I installed .NET FW 4.0 and 4.5.2 and the game can install completely. But when launching the game, a kernel32.dll error pops up which however does not prevent the running of the game. You can press OK, ignore the error and game on!

It won't launch if .net FW 4.0 is not installed

I don't think this is possible because there is only one download link on their website. Will test it later and revert to you

I think the t530/w530 would do better than the t520/w520 because Ivy Bridge is 22nm and performs as well as Sandy bridge equivalents while using less power and also because Intel HD graphics 4000 is better than hd3000. If you hate the chiclet keyboard then you may be able to replace it with a t520 style 7row keyboard.

I have weird pc but it actually good for me and works pretty fast: CPU: Xeon E5440 GPU: Nvidia GTX660 Palit RAM: 8 GB DDR3 (1333MHz) Motherboard: Asus P5G41T-M LX3 SSD: Some NN chinese 128GB HDD: 128GB Barracuda xd

I have a PC with Vista running bare metal. CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1500x (4 cores at 3.8GHz) (older AGESA so Vista works) 8GB RAM (2133MHz) GPU: 2 x NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 (SLI) HDD: 250GB Seagate Barracuda (with Vista on it) SSD: Kingston A1000 240GB (with Windows 8.1 on it) MOBO: MSI B350 PC MATE Windows Vista Ultimate SP2 x64 (Boxed copy) It runs very well. Only struggle is that I need a DVD to get SP2 and the USB drivers on it.

There's something wrong , it shouldn't be that long . On my system it's like 11-16 seconds. I have Xeon X5440 and DDR3 16GB , HDD WD Raptor 500GB SuperFetch and indexing disabled , of course . Wanted to ask , in my event viewer I'm being bombarded with Terminal service messages because I removed remoting from ISO. How to stop it ? "Registering with ... The specified service does not exist as an installed service , retry in ten minute" Yes "minute" , not "minutes" . Seems like non native speakers working at MS... Edit: Perhaps your uptime is too long because of the updates ? Updates are evil , I have an absolutely clean SP2 , told ya. Oh , and SP1 loads even faster , like 6-7 seconds on my second PC. Windows 7 (without updates) loads much longer , don't remember the exact number, but much , much slower than Vista .

My specs: Intel i5 8250U 8GB RAM 250GB SSD Windows Vista Home Premium x64 (German) I started using Vista in 2008, after our XP PC refused to start. Back then, I did not know that it was a driver error which led to the crash and not a hardware error (Nowadays I am the PC specialist in our family lol), so we bought a new PC. I cant remeber the processor but I know it had 2GB RAM and ran Business x32. Vista was very nice, we used it till 2013, before we upgraded to Windows 7. I remember that Vista did not support IE10/11 and Office 2013, which were the two major problems with it. We didnt use Windows 7 for a long time (I think only till 2014). In 2015 we upgraded to Windows 8.1, which was very fast in comparison to any other OS I had used before. When Windows 10 came out, our PC couldnt handle, so we made a fresh Clean Install of 8.1 and even nowadays it still runs veryy fine (we upgraded the RAM to 4GB)

Yes, even I have experienced a little delay even on SSD, but I found Win7, 8.1 and 10 to be slower for mysterious reasons. Maybe the SSD is a little bit of a bottleneck as my A400 SSD has no DRAM cache. So I think a Samsung EVO SSD or Crucial MX500 SSD should further improve the performance and speed up boot time.

I observed that installation of updates through pkgmgr on cmd causes the computer to stop restarting properly (the Microsoft corporation loading bar does not stop displaying and it prevents me from logging on). I think this can be fixed by installing Windows Update Agent 7.6, then restarting, and then installing all the updates.

That’s a good point! Thanks Jaguarek62.

Because until @win32 will implement changes to 32bit kernel32 there is no way how to play roblox. Maybe virtualization? or dualboot? just don’t use Windows 10

You can use the pre-EOL updates from the repository provided by @greenhillmaniac or from another zip file provided by Josh Davidson over at Youtube with a tutorial to install all the pre-EOL updates. This method works ONLY for an online Vista image. I don't know about update integration. Link to the video: https://youtu.be/zCxW4DXvK_s Hope this helps
