Seems the forum was recently updated. I don't remember the extra whitespace between member information and post content in people's posts. Is this just how the default theme that comes with the software is now or are there settings on the server side? Either way, I prefer the old look, I find the extra whitespace screaming "Hey, look at me!". The old look can be achieved by applying the following CSS: .ipsComment_author { margin: unset !important; } Or you could do: .ipsComment_author { margin: 0 10px 0 0 !important; } I find this prettier, considering the space on the left. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so YMMV.

This is a small tutorial for enabling Windows Aero in Vista build 5219 You will need the following items: 1. A relatively recent version of VMware Workstation. 2. The WDDM Display Drivers (u can use version 6.5, 6.5.2 and 7.0) 3. set the workstation version to 6.5/7.x 4. The Vista 5219 Installation DVD. Open regedit then browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DWM. (if the key does not exist, create it.) Over there, create a DWORD key named EnableMachineCheck and set its value to 0. Log off/restart to take effect and Aero will automatically enabled (if it not, change the screen resolution) Here is a screenshot If you want to try it on another build, I recommend use 5212 and 5231 (it will work) Happy testing

I've attached RAR5 compressed files with lists of download links for all official updates for Vista 32-bit and 64-bit Post SP2 up to April 2017. Includes all language packs for Vista, IE9 and local Help update. Also included are Ultimate Extras, Optionals and .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 / 4.52 with updates. Superseded updates are not included except for a few ones just to satisfy Windows Update. Hotfixes are not included, unless available through Windows Update. Someone please mirror them on Web Archive. ASAP. EDIT: Updated files with .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 Language Packs. Installing System Updates: If you want to install a language pack, you must do it first, by downloading and running the language pack executable. 1) Download all files from Main_URLs.txt to the same folder. 2) Using WinRAR, sort files by type and unpack all .MSU files to the same folder, overwriting existing files. Then you may delete the .MSU files to save space. 3) Unpack the WindowsVistaSP2_x86_Installer.rar or WindowsVistaSP2_x64_Installer.rar (just batch files) to the same folder where you extracted the files. 4) Open a Command Prompt with Administrator privileges and switch to the folder where the update files are. 5) Run Main_Part1.bat, Main_Part2.bat and Main_Part3.bat. At the end of execution of every batch file, Windows will restart automatically. 6) Optionally you may install local copy of Help update (LangPacks_Help_URLs.txt) and the IE9 language pack (LangPacks_IE9_URLs.txt). PS: It'll take a while to install all 210+ updates. Installing .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 / 4.52 with updates: 1) Download all files from NDP35_45_URLs.txt to the same folder. 2) Unpack the WindowsVistaSP2_x86_Installer.rar or WindowsVistaSP2_x64_Installer.rar (just batch files) to the same folder where you extracted the files. 3) Open a Command Prompt with Administrator privileges and switch to the folder where the update files are. 4) Run NDP35_45_Install.bat, if needed Windows will restart automatically. 5) Optionally you may install a language pack (LangPacks_NDP35SP1_URLs.txt and LangPacks_NDP452_URLs.txt). Installing updates for optional features (only if you have installed IIS, IIS ASP, IIS FTP or Telnet from Program and Features Control Panel extension) Download all files from Features_URLs.txt and run the following .MSU packages if you have installed: IIS: KB4012373 IIS ASP: KB2124261 IIS FTP: KB975254 Telnet: KB960859 and KB3020393

There's been no report, so I think you're OK!

Hi @XPerceniol, For e10s, I use user_pref("extensions.interposition.enabled", false); // set (true for no e10s) *-* user_pref("extensions.interposition.prefetching", false); // set (true for no e10s) *-* For network stuff, these are the settings I change/monitor: // NETWORK user_pref("network.allow-experiments", false); // set user_pref("network.dns.disablePrefetch", true); // set user_pref("network.dns.disablePrefetchFromHTTPS", true); // add user_pref("network.http.altsvc.enabled", false); // set user_pref("network.http.altsvc.oe", false); // set user_pref("network.http.redirection-limit", 12); // set user_pref("network.http.sendRefererHeader", 2); // default user_pref("network.http.spdy.enabled", false); // set user_pref("network.http.spdy.enabled.deps", false); // set user_pref("network.http.spdy.enabled.http2", false); // set user_pref("network.http.speculative-parallel-limit", 0); // set user_pref("network.IDN_show_punycode", true); // set user_pref("network.IDN.restriction_profile", "high"); // set user_pref("network.manage-offline-status", false); // set user_pref("network.predictor.enable-prefetch", false); // default user_pref("network.predictor.enabled", false); // set user_pref("network.prefetch-next", false); // set user_pref("network.protocol-handler.external.ms-windows-store", false); //set user_pref("network.seer.enabled", false); // add user_pref("security.sri.enable", true); // default user_pref("webchannel.allowObject.urlWhitelist", "127.0.0.1");

@George King OK, please try this one. https://anonfiles.com/h8N9LaY2x4/acpi_xp_amd64_forGK_2_7z

Of course they ain't! Don't let your wishes shield you from reality...

Thanks for the review. Did your tests were with v13?. If so I hope that the issues with 360EE can be fixed when the lastest release of the browser is out. I really don't know how to make an installer for something like this, but if someone knows how to do that I can give it a try. You can use this extension, might work --> https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/change-webpage-fonts/afelmehoohjbjfpjbadonkcondbilglp Cheers.

There is no "modification fix" to v11 to resolve rem/em fonts. These will always occur with Chromium v69 browsers. This "bug" dates back to 2013 (circa version 24 through 31) and was never fixed until v79 (after originally being scheduled for v77 (I've read some unverified reports that some users of v81 still have this rem/em font-size issue). I fix these using Proxomitron, they can just as easily be fixed via Tampermonkey. Another fix is Stylus. Or just fix them "when encountered" by using the "Inspect" console and unchecking the problematic font-family or font-size.

You sound perfectly fine to me, not awkward at all. I have a friend who drives everyone around crazy being belligerent all day long (he can't help himself). Having said that, he has been a good friend when you are in trouble. I guess we all have our own idiosyncrasies. Oooops ... I've already given away all my indoor plants (artificial plants are easier to look after). Oh well ... never mind, I can always talk to myself ... if the outdoor plants wouldn't talk to me. Just take one step at a time. When you are ready, take your plants out for a walk. Not the other way around, otherwise you would be waiting forever. Remember to check out Charlie Munger's wisdom, he might have something for you. I found this just now ... nice. “Hold fast to dreams, For if dreams die Life is a broken-winged bird, That cannot fly.” ― Langston Hughes

Microsoft Knowledge Base (MKB) and their KB articles For getting information and solving problems in Windows XP, Microsoft Knowledge Base had been an important source for a long time. But unfortunately most KB articles relating to Windows XP were deleted by Microsoft on their servers some years ago. Now we need other sources to get these KB articles. One method is to use a Wayback Machine like archive.org. Here is the link: https://web.archive.org/ Insert the original link of a KB article and in a lot of cases it was already archived in the past. But there are other sources too. Here is the best alternative: https://www.betaarchive.com/wiki/index.php?title=Microsoft_KB_Archive And this is an offline database with more than 200000 KB articles: https://archive.org/details/MicrosoftKnowledgeBaseArchive200000Articles Good luck in searching KB articles, AstroSkipper
