I had a PM from xper saying he'd fixed it. I guess that was how he fixed it!

legacyfan - above is a small recap, there were several just for the capital L and F. Perhaps a Post-It Note on your monitor that reads "No username change until January 2028".

I'm thinking something happened. There's been nothing from @XPerceniol on MSFN or any activity on my forum since March 30th.

BTW it seems that page is now deleted entirely.

I would never advise anyone to buy a licence (note UK spelling please, your spelling is American English) for Norton. But I would always recommend Malwarebytes Premium, whose licence could be used in newer operating systems without problems, if necessary.

Sad news for everyone here at MSFN. One of our forum supervisors, Dencorso, passed away on October 24th, after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Apparently he was still upbeat and optimistic about the future a few weeks before he passed. My memories of Den go back quite a few years. He was incredibly helpful to me with technical problems, which is what this board is all about of course, initially mainly with Windows 98, and latterly with Windows XP. He was immensely supportive too when I first became a moderator here, something I will always be grateful for. He was definitely one of the good guys, and will be sorely missed here. Please add your memories here of working with Den. Thanks, Dave.

I realise that now and I will stop doing and an apology to the staff for having to put up with my problems

I hope nothing bad happens to him

I guess I forgot to reply here. I appear to have fixed it by using 1.2.5. Not sure why it had issues at first, but it's been months without any weirdness.

You're kinda right though, I don't use XP, no GPU or USB drivers. At first I wasn't so sure about the idea, but thinking about it, having the 68 style UI with the 78 engine is actually pretty nice. Might try using this on my PC with 8.1 to see how it fares with the sites I use.

Let's just hope the development didn't get suspended.

@AstroSkipper Your opinions are already well-known to those who care to read. I get the impression that the list on page 1 of your new thread will never include any well-known antivirus that you personally dislike, although it already includes various firewalls etc. that no one else ever heard of - i.e. not so much a Windows XP list as an AstroSkipper list. That’s precisely why I prefer to post in this old thread, where you are not the OP. Norton is no longer part of Symantec (which is now focused exclusively on profitable enterprise solutions like your erstwhile favorite WiseVector). Instead, Norton is now part of Gen Digital, an international conglomerate that includes the Avast, AVG and Avira brands. (BullGuard has been discontinued, and its license holders were given Norton licenses.) You already used the expression “disenfranchised” just 6 posts earlier. How many years has it been since you actually used Norton - or are you merely repeating someone else’s opinion? I was hoping that we might hear from someone who actually used Norton recently - but of course this thread will probably grow several pages longer before such a rare bird comes flying by. I already knew that you have a lifetime license (note correct spelling please). It does not follow that other XP (or Vista) users would be well-advised to purchase a Malwarebytes Premium license in June 2023 or thereafter. I would imagine that a Norton license could be used on a newer OS, but Windows 10 and 11 have a very good antivirus built in - which is precisely why there have been so many mergers in the antivirus industry lately.

Yay! Finally I'm able again to run D3D9 games and programs in Windows Vista Extended Kernel using the newer version of the Intel HD Graphics 4000 driver! So, I used WineD3D to do this. I copied the WineD3D d3d8.dll, d3d9.dll, and wined3d.dll files to System32, replacing the original ones. I also renamed the igdumdim64.dll and igdumdim32.dll files in System32 and SysWOW64. WineD3D works by emulating Direct3D 8 and 9 into OpenGL. However, it is not perfect and there are still some crashes. What it can do: Open the Intel HD Graphics control panel Play video files using Windows Media Player Play Chess Titans by running the chess.exe file located in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Chess folder Use screen savers (except Ribbons, crashes with code 0xc00000fd) Play D3D9 casual games and other light 3D rendering activities that are done by the D3D9 API What it cannot do: Use the Windows Aero theme Run DxDiag Perform D3D9 benchmarks Open Games from the Start menu (this might be a bug) Play D3D9 demanding games and other heavy 3D rendering activities that are done by the D3D9 API Other bugs: The video playback sometimes slowing down and not syncing with the audio in Windows Media Player if the video resolution is higher than 480p or if the Windows Media Player is maximized Windows Explorer crashes upon closing the Windows Photo Viewer Some fullscreen games don't revert the screen resolution when exiting fullscreen mode, going to desktop by pressing Windows logo key, or switching between windows. They only revert the screen resolution after quitting the game DXVK's D3D9 also most likely will work in Windows Vista Extended Kernel, even much better than WineD3D. However, DXVK only works on graphic cards with Vulkan API, and Intel HD Graphics 4000 doesn't support Vulkan. Proof: GTA San Andreas also works successfully on WineD3D. But if the Visual FX Quality is too high, the game will become very slow and unplayable, especially when in Red County. And the intro's FMV only plays the audio but still can be skipped. Unlike when using the native D3D9 which the game keep runs smoothly even with highest graphics quality on the same hardware and also can play the intro's FMV videos perfectly. Hope the DXVK's D3D9 will improve the performance so much and become faster and better graphics quality than the native D3D9.

Fair enough

Kaspersky if you don't mind the NATOsphere FUD. Their scan is pretty powerful and does not require installs, the only problem is that i haven't used my Vista machine for a while to test if it works now.

Where is the URL for this @Stefan43?
