As far as I know, the latest version is still UniExtract2 2.0.0 RC 4 Nightly (15.10.2023) from here: https://update.bioruebe.com/uniextract/files/nightly.zip

Extract the installer with UniExtract and be done with it. I don't remember which is the last version, @AstroSkipper, please remind us.

But 24Gb is indeed so low for windows7! It sounds more like a minimum requirement from the 90's/early 2000s. I remember I had a laptop with only 40GB (37 or so in reality) in 2002, and it seemed small even at that time. I had to copy files to CD to save space constantly.

Please advice a better translation software for @dmiranda.

What's the purpose of your post rather than spam? No one needs your judgemental attitude. But then again, it proves what I wrote before. Reporting increased brightness issue is perfectly fine - it's not "complaining". Again troubles with the translation software? In fact, the brightness increases with each version, 117/118 was tolerable, 121 not. Ho many times do I have to tell you, dark flags do NOT change the font rendering. They simply replace web pages with inverted colours, or white areas with black. Fonts stay the same. Study, study, study.

win32 does visit it. Try to read before posting. It had already been posted https://msfn.org/board/topic/185045-supermium/?do=findComment&comment=1259720 No one "owns" threads here. https://msfn.org/board/topic/185045-supermium/?do=findComment&comment=1259793 There's no need to parrot what I already said before.

And a special thanks to @nicolaasjan for providing objective and real facts in that inofficial Pale Moon thread! I really appreciate your objectivity and practicality. As you probably know, I haven't posted on the Pale Moon forum for a long time. And I always feel vindicated in this decision when I read such comments. Thanks again!

And again, only half-truths and falsehoods in the Pale Moon forum by our "friend" athenian200, in a thread that is not the official support thread of my mod uBlock Origin Legacy: Source: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=30787&sid=feea3eb912a653ba49c1fb3c2bc447f3&start=60#p248309 Why does someone who spreads so many untruths and half-knowledge think he can give advice, especially when he has discredited himself so much with an inadequate examination and disastrous conclusions? Unbelievable! He shouldn't gloss over mistakes he has made, but rather apologise to his readers for the nonsense which he spread there. Read here: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=30787&sid=feea3eb912a653ba49c1fb3c2bc447f3&start=60#p248292 The only thing that is really true in his stories is that he has no idea about extensions. Here is a quotation from the linked post above: Anyway! If one had read the changelogs I provided, one would have realised that not only filter lists were changed. Please, ignore what this guy is saying there! Form your own independent and uninfluenced opinion! Therefore, I advise everyone to read here or ask questions here to get factually correct answers or information when it comes to my mod uBlock Origin Legacy. Kind regards, AstroSkipper

... When upstream (Moonchild Productions) forked UXP from a Mozilla ESR 52.6.0 code snapshot (which had FULL support for ALL Vista SP2 features, including Aero Glass in its default theme ), the first task they undertook was to completely excise ALL code features pertaining to Windows XP and Vista support from their future application platform, as they targeted ONLY Win7+; this hunt for XP/Vista code was a relentless one, spearheaded by then lead dev Matt A. Tobin, a sworn enemy of these OSes ... When current maintainer (roytam1) of these UXP forks attempted to restore the removed support by upstream, his main focus was on the Windows XP OS, as it's the one he's using too and the one the overwhelming majority of his targeted "audience" uses... It would appear that while most of the XP stuff got re-introduced into the tree successfully, the same wasn't true for Vista , at least where St52's visual aspects (on that OS) are concerned; St52 sports the Australis GUI, OTOH NM28 inherits visual code from a pre-Australis era, and I can confirm that Aero Glass works as intended in NM28 under Vista... A similar issue exists for Serpent 55 under Vista ; initial ports of the ill-fated upstream application Basilisk55/moebius would be fully compatible with Vista's Aero, but at later stage (when St55 became a roytam1 "exclusive"), porting code from forked-UXP and other, XP-exclusive, third party repos BROKE Aero (and Widevine CDM, for that matter) on St55/Vista ... It's worth noting that Aero Glass works fine for both St52/55 on Win7, so it's only the Vista side of it that's currently broken on these browsers... I, and several other, Vista users had reported at the time (and, on occasion, at later instances ) the visual shortcomings of St52/55 under Vista, but, as time went by, these remained without being addressed ; I grew to live with them ; after all, what can one do when one isn't a Mozilla browser coder ? These threads were living previously on an XP-specific MSFN subforum, mentioning Vista there always made me feel like walking on thin ice ... TL:DR: Roy Tam doesn't have a Vista OS (VM?) to debug this; given Vista's low popularity/user base, especially among the forked-UXP apps crowd, this "issue" (non-existent under XP, which doesn't support Aero, ofc) has silently become a WONTFIX for us, Vista luddites ... FWIW, I'm using a self-patched version of the "upstream" Photonic complete theme on Serpent 52 (the theme ONLY supports official Basilisk/PM on Win7+), that gives me a good approximation of Aero under Vista: Greetings ...

If all steps in my guide are performed thoroughly, it should work in any case. My guide was tested successfully by different users. You mentioned that you are using VM and Hyper-V in a network with a server and clients. I assume that rather could be the cause of the problem. I use Windows XP installed on real hardware. The method "Restoring WU/MU by using the patch + proxy method" worked like a charm there. So, you unfortunately have to check all your network and internet settings. BTW, I couldn't open your attached file on my Android tablet. I will try it later at my desktop computer where Wireshark is installed. A pcapng file is a special file format used by Wireshark. But one thing is clear. If my guide and other methods don't work in your system, then your system itself is the causer of all problems. My advice to you: Try first one of the methods on a standalone (no client or server) computer without VM or other virtualisation techniques! If it is working then, you rather will get an idea what's the cause of errors. The more complex a system, the more difficult to find the cause of a problem.

Win32 always answered to my inquires, always. SO yeah, I'm pretty sure he doesn't want to drown in this {insert a word according to your imagination}. Take a look at the amount of your last posts here. Are they useful? Are they informative?

Look at the area around Skia/115 ...... It's noticable there with a naked eye.

And this ... how is such discussion "letting a project down?" I mean really!!! Are we trying to grow a market for Kleenex tissues here? Unbelievable. I just ... don't know what to think. And here I though I was sensitive!

I'm sorry, but that sort of thinking is taking this all WAY TOO PERSONALLY! And sure, you can stop by one of my thread's and make comparisons to something else. That's called "discussion". At the end of the day, it's just technology. By the way no one owns threads here. Even on Roytam1s and NotHere's threads, people make comparisons to things. For example, a few posts yet, I praised Supermium because it game Vista a real contender for the modern web. It beats out Roytam1s and NotHere's offerings (in my mind). So by your logic, are we not allowed to say that? It's perfectly a relevant comparison.

Yes, it's indeed the card I bought in 2018 (but it was even cheaper), I think it's the cheapest option, as of now. The only difference, in mine they got the usual caps replaced with ceramics.

What is your problem D. Draker? There's no "emotional soap" or whatever nonsense your rambling on about. We're making COMPARISONS, and besides you, it appear everyone else gets what I'm trying to articulate. Are you telling me you need me to show you what a titlebar is in an image? Are you really telling me that? Besides, I'm sure win32 is not able to make such a change because it's basically "Chrome" Also, lately it seems a few of you newbies are starting to dictate how manage threads and posts. You're not the format police, so join in the conversation, or don't comment.

That certainly could be true, but I compared these browsers (Supermium and MyPal 68) just now with Explorer++, Softmaker Office and Serpent 52, and I'm not noticing a difference. All I can say is that out of all the options on this rather ill-equipped Vista notebook, Supermium really does run well. Very snappy considering I only have 2 GB or memory.

Hello, recently I started working on modifying DWM to customize Windows to my tastes, and this is what I've managed to get so far: I implemented all of this using Windhawk, but I might eventually move it all into its own program. The code is definitely not ready for release (buggy), plus it's still missing a few things that I'd like for an initial release. The blur implementation is also not the best, and I'd rather do it in a way closer to BigMuscle's, since this is based on Valinet's method, which considering was just quickly created to prove that blur is possible in 2004+, has its fair share issues. This can be seen as a proof of concept in a way, maybe a tech demo. For the buttons, I decided to rewrite both the functions that handle their positions and sizes in DWM, which gives me full control over the implementation. For example, I can modify this mod to make the buttons look the way they do in the Basic theme, Luna theme, even Classic theme, theoretically, all in DWM, meaning that there should be no compatibility issues with applications. You may have also noticed that the text is missing from the titlebars. That's due to the fact that in Windows 8.1 and 10, the titlebar text is rendered using GDI, and I'm still not sure how to make the background transparent (I've tried using SetBkMode but it didn't seem to do anything). I'll probably end up trying to render the text the same way Windows 7 does, as that's the OS whose look I'm trying to match. As for a release, I'm not sure when this will be ready. Could be this year, could be next year, it really depends on how much time I have on my hands, especially considering the project's current primitive state.

Windows 8 is fast & there isn't much it can't run when updated. it's fluent & Fun. I installed it on a rubbish PC. I'm quite amazed how fast, stable & capable it runs

Nope.

Curious factoid: Supermium renders *some* fonts with grayscale anti-alising where other browsers, e.g. Mypal, use cleartype. No idea if this has anything to do with perceived 'brightness,' but a verifiable difference. BTW, this happens only on some sites/fonts, Google results, for instance, appear in cleartype.

Is there a requirement of always being rude? Was I ever rude to you? No. I can disagree with you, but I don't roll on you. With such attitude you don't attract normal people to join your monologues.

The problem with the author's modules are their poor quality. I had the same series, and their chips failed, even being in a well ventilated case. Their temps never went higher than 36 degrees (Celsius). It's human's body temperature.

... Well, this "patch" isn't coming from me , like I said: Thanks for your efforts , despite...

Agreed!

For those who may think this thread is visited regularly by win32, I just want to remind them that this thread was created and owned by Dibya, and that the first and only time win32 participated in it was in september 2023 (first page), about right before an apparently very sensitive to brightness participant complained about "excessive brightness", something only one other participant in this thread has complained about. For them: try dark mode/dark ui flags, they work flawlessly and, as the whole supermium package, for free.

It had NOTHING to do with you being a girl. In fact I make no judgements of gender. We're all equals here. So let's not turn this into a direction that it never had to go into.

@VistaLover Do you have any more in-depth information on the startup cache in Firefox-based browsers or links to corresponding documents? I can't seem to find anything like that. You know your way around the Mozilla pages better.

Of course it does. Official "supported" drivers are too old for gaming, it may come as a surprise, but yes, I do game on my PC. But like I wrote, official or modded - makes no difference in Supermium's brightness, and I tried on another computer with another Nvidia card, also. Of which I notified in the edited post.

Yep! I thought he should have found out that for himself when conducting such an "investigation". I don't think he really read my article. Or at least, not really thoroughly.

As you surely noticed, you have to use a more recent version v1.5 of ProxHTTPSProxy when using IE8 for connecting with MU/WU. The error code 0x80072F78 is described as "ERROR_HTTP_INVALID_SERVER_RESPONSE = The server response could not be parsed." You should check everthing related to your internet connection. Did you already read my Complete guide for restoring IE's access to WU/MU website using ProxHTTPSProxy or HTTPSProxy in Windows XP? I think you missed something.

The issue was not related to a specific browser. Neither Brave, Firefox or Opera did it on my Android tablet. Same problems as in New Moon or Mypal 68 under Windows XP.

Seeing it successfully posted, I'm leaning more and more towards a newly implemented anti-bot, anti-hacker prevention system in the forum software that filters out bad IP and possible copyright infringements.

Refund and buy a much cheaper (but the same) off Ebay?

Perhaps it has something to do with MSFN not being MTV? Just my guess.

What about the condition of the system HDD?

Bingo @VistaLover. The GDI flag worked. Move over Roytam1 and NotHereToPlayGames (all in jest, I promise), but you have been supplanted. We now have modern browsing in Vista (without any extended kernel). Although 360 does allow tables under the address bar (ahem, tabs - I'll leave the error intact because of subsequent responses ), so I do tip my hat to NotHereToPlayGames for that one especially. And Roytam! has come along with bringing XP and Vista up to browsing snuff.

Hey folks! Forgive my confusion. I finally started to give Supermium a run for its money on my Dell Inspiron Notebook PC, running Vista Home Basic SP2. It has 2 GB of RAM, yet Supermium is running really swiftly considering everything. Now I downloaded my copy from GitHub. It installs to the AppData\Local Folder., whereas I unzipped the Chrome-Bin contents in to a \Program Files\Supermium folder. In either case, it sports a Windows 10-esque title bar. I understood that Win32s made a version with the old Chrome interface. Where is that downloaded from? I appreciate your help.

... But these two are supposed to really make a difference (i.e. considerably reduce RAM usage on XP) ONLY where the VC++2015-2019 redistributable (the last XP-compatible one was v14.28.29213.0) is already installed : https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/235#issuecomment-1925433278

... For people on WinXP SP3 "trialing" the latest Sm-121-hf x86 release, win32 is kindly providing recompiled+rebased versions of files: that will reduce excessive RAM usage by the browser on pre-Vista OSes: https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/204#issuecomment-1924048080 https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/204#issuecomment-1924437338 https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/204#issuecomment-1924647139

After updating New Moon today, the Privacy tab in Options was empty.: I had to update my custom Dutch language pack again... Now it works : Here is a link to my updated Language Pack: Link.

You are welcome! I bought mine in 2018 for 7 bucks (including shipping) off ebay. Looks identical. The price went up, but I'm sure it's still no that high as shown at that UK shop.

With your evidently superb hardware, 125 shouldn't be an issue. In fact: why vista (and then its business version) when you could be on windows 11, I wonder.

BlueSoleil 2.6.0.1 (2007 year) work on 9x with bt 5.0 dongle. i has tested discovery, pairing, PAN, OBEX, even try run soung profiles with my tws headsets, and i have connect, but w/o real sound, because blueletaudio.sys cant create virtual sound card on 9x, or possibly req Bluetooth class bus, which is not created by 9x version btcusb.sys, or by some other reasone...

Update: Supermium 119 x64 working on Windows 8.0 without flags Supermium 119 x64 working on Server 2012 (6.2 / R1) with --no-sandbox (need to try tomorrow on different system too) Catsxp beta 120 x64 portable working on both Server 2012 and Windows 8.0 without flags Video playing working too supermium is superfast

When it comes down to speed Windows 8(.0) was very underrated. I also installed it on an old Netbook (Mini 1012) and it was the only OS that ran fluently. Windows 7 and 10 couldn't compare (11 obviously not)

im gonna be completely honest win 8.1 is amazing its faster than windows 7 but more modern also a lot of people dislike the ui but after some time youll get used to it it also has no bloatware and adware like win10 i love it anyone else feels the same?

Greetings, im customizing XP to make more 95 "friendly" Any ideas for better customization are welcome, still working in my XP system to be as much close to 95 as can I restore things like pattern and classic graphics in display properties, classic search, remove internet explorer style toolbar from explorer, customize most dialogs to be close to 95 ones, restore old install/uninstall programs and many dialogs, like new hardware, replace USB safe hardware remove with PCMCIA one to be more close to 95 style, split multimedia and sound control panels, and many other things i did not screenshot...
