  1. That does not mean anything. A lot can be written on such pages about operating system compatibility. As always, the proof is in the pudding. One should actually know that by now, especially when it comes to Windows XP.

  2. As we all or at least many of us know, the last XP-compatible version 6.047 of Malwarebytes AdwCleaner is obsolete and not useful anymore. Freshly installed, it's most recent database is from 2017, and thus 6 years old. No option! @VistaLover has investigated this in detail and presented it in this post: Therefore, we need a replacement for this program in Windows XP to get rid especially of adware, spyware, potentially unwanted programs (PUPs), and browser hijackers. Of course, most more recent antimalware programs already provide these features such as Malwarebytes Free or Premium. But a specialized tool would not be bad either, and many people like to use those tools, like for example me. I did a research as I always do and found an interesting tool. In my next post, I will present an alternative to Malwarebytes AdwCleaner which is up-to-date. And the winner is Ultra Adware Killer.

  3. I wonder what will happen if I vote here, will I be automatically added to the "multiple" fake list, too? Probably I shouldn't anyway, as I don't use Firefox at all.

  4. I guess the reason for the public vote was intentional, so your fake accounts wouldn't be able to downvote D.Draker's excellent research, like you were begging to implement before. But hey, saying that Jaguarek62 is D.Draker's fake is especially funny, thanks for the laugh.

  5. here is a modified Array.at() polyfill to install in your userscript manager. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- // ==UserScript== // @name Inject Array.at() Polyfill (92) // @version 0.0.1 // @match *://*/* // @run-at document-start // @grant none // ==/UserScript== function at(n) { // ToInteger() abstract op n = Math.trunc(n) || 0; // Allow negative indexing from the end if (n < 0) n += this.length; // OOB access is guaranteed to return undefined if (n < 0 || n >= this.length) return undefined; // Otherwise, this is just normal property access return this[n]; } const TypedArray = Reflect.getPrototypeOf(Int8Array); for (const C of [Array, String, TypedArray]) { Object.defineProperty(C.prototype, "at", { value: at, writable: true, enumerable: false, configurable: true }); } --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the first one was posted before: https://msfn.org/board/topic/184624-arcticfoxienotheretoplaygames-360chrome-v1352036-rebuild-1/page/13/#comment-1245468 it passed the test at: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/at this modified version works with the mozilla test and the pdf site. (give it a few seconds to load) you will need more polyfills like structuredclone, and probably others, installed as NHTPG pointed out. source: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68464114/why-am-i-getting-at-is-not-a-function other source: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-relative-indexing-method?tab=readme-ov-file#polyfill

  8. You're welcome! That is of course to be expected. And I mentioned that several times. Here is a quotation from my main article: BTW, I usually performed this kind of update process even with the old, original versions of uBlock Origin. For me, installing on top never worked really properly and caused every now and then problems in the case of uBO in the past. Cheers, AstroSkipper

  12. Interested members can find needed files on SourceForge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/winscp/files/WinSCP/6.1.2/ The "WinSCP-6.1.2-Portable.zip" is the one you need under WinXP (unpack and launch the .exe file); the problem arises if you want the app localised , because that zip archive ONLY comes with the default, en-US, locale (embedded into the .exe) . The installer, "WinSCP-6.1.2-Setup.exe" comes with multi-language support, but it's built with an InnoSetup version that requires at least Win7 . To get the localisation files out of it you need use a tool capable of extracting Innosetup installers; my two "loved-ones" are just CLIs, innounp (at v0.50) and innoextract (at v1.9) ; however, if you are a GUI type, you can use the much larger app UniExtract2, which contains those two above CLIs as internal components (this extracting "suite" has been mentioned and linked before by AstroSkipper). Once you have successfully unpacked "WinSCP-6.1.2-Setup.exe", you should have access to a "Translations" dir, with numerous "WinSCP.*" files; pick the one that has a file extension denoting your desired locale (e.g., for German it should be "WinSCP.de") and place that adjacent to the WinSCP.exe main executable inside your originally unzipped "portable" archive; launch the app (it'll still be in English) and through the app's configuration (Options -> Preferences -> Environment -> Languages) you can now select your preferred locale: An app restart is then required for the change to take effect ... If you don't mind your "portable" app being in the much acclaimed PAF format, the people over at "portableapps.com" have prepared a "special package just for XP users", who have now been deprived of future WinSCP updates: https://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/WinSCP Portable/WinSCPPortableLegacyWinXP_6.1.2.paf.exe/download That package has all available localisation embedded ... PS (and OT): This time, the WinSCP devs did not put Vista SP2 32-bit in the same boat as WinXP - the latest release as of writing this, 6.3.1, again via the "portable" distribution, launches and runs fine there () ... Just as a FYI...

  17. Update of uBlock Origin Legacy to version 1.16.4.33 I have again updated my special mod uBlock Origin Legacy from version 1.16.4.32 to version 1.16.4.33. I fixed the loading errors of the filter list "Online Malicious URL Blocklist (AdGuard)" which only occur from time to time. Furthermore, I found some further strings which I edited according to the extension's name change performed in version 1.16.4.32. And I added new filter lists to different groups. The "StevenBlack/hosts" filter lists are very strong and restrictive. So in some cases, you have to set exclusions when using them. Here is a screenshot taken from the dashboard tab "Filter lists" of uBlock Origin 1.16.4.33 in New Moon 28: The filter lists outlined in green are the ones I have added in this release. A detailed changelog and the download link of uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.33 can be found in my main article uBlock Origin Legacy - A special mod by @AstroSkipper. Greetings from Germany, AstroSkipper

  18. ... Well, Win7 is certainly "On Topic" here, because the roytam1 forks (browsers and other apps) do work under that OS; after all, despite its users not wanting to admit it, Win7 is by now an "Older NT-Family OS" ... However, and this is just me , "extensive" references to the Chromium forks (compatible with said "older NT-family OSes") should be better posted in the dedicated threads (we have enough already...) ; I don't exclude myself here , I've often fallen foul of this before ...

The true standby is not there regardless of your operating system.

  25. That's how I've been doing it so far. But I thought it might be easy to get around this. One other approach I use myself is to let the browser handle itself the online PDF files (without a prior download to disk and then drag-n-drop ) and display them via its native PDF viewer; however, in the case discussed, https://storage.enganchesaragon.com/public-websites/ecommerce/Inst/C0801E.pdf the file has an "attachment" content-disposition and loading that URI will generate a "Save File" download prompt; that's why I have also installed: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/undisposition-racle-fork/bbppejejjfancffmhncgkhjdaikdgagc and I enable it as needed - you want the older v0.0.4, which is still at MV2, for 360EE... Below is KafanMiniBrowser loading the referenced PDF URI in its default viewer, via "undisposition" extension :

  29. These reports seem to lead to issues with some form of cache (or rather missing cache) and/or de-synchronization between device (and/or its driver) and application. It seems like the Quickmirror is attempting to send more data than the system can bear or the system cannot tell to Quickmirror that it should slow down the sending of data. The problem might be in any point of the chain, but it still smells of something software related more than hardware. On the other hand the chkdsk slowness and controller errors seem a lot like "pure hardware" error (flaky SATA cable or connectors?[1]). jaclaz [1] in the (good?) ol' SCSI times there was a saying - if I remember correctly originally proposed by Jerry Pournelle - to the effect of "when you have a disk problem check everything, but the problem is always the cable", with IDE those issues were rare (with the exception of the madness that was - for a period of time - the cable select often problematic implementation) with SATA they are far less common than SCSI in my experience, still I would try different cables.

  31. Hi everyone Good day and good night. The mission was successfully completed. Finally Windows XP was run on Asus Z790 with super heavy hardware. The drivers were not installed properly. For the need to run, the same graphic and sound card is enough. Although I could not mount the hard drive and external hard drive on Windows XP. The 4090 graphics card does not have a driver. Because Windows XP does not support Nvidia graphics above 1000 series. So I put a GT 710 graphics card next to the 4090 and it was installed, and the sound card was already installed. The 4090 graphics, which were present and not present in XP, do not cause any problems, but in Windows 10, I disabled the 710 graphics so as not to cause any disturbance. In short, I was able to run the games I wanted on XP and I achieved my wish that it has been a year since the launch of this heavy hardware. I thank Mr. Dietmar again for providing me with this Windows.

  32. Yes, it fixed the first problem, thank you! The font used in that dialog is very bizarre, though. I wish it could be changed to a different font, for example, Tahoma, as the current font used in that dialog, unnecessarily takes up much space.

  33. No, the proof isn't in the pudding. Apache OpenOffice actually still runs on XP. Look, Writer, for example, runs (and other programs of the OpenOffice suite as well): So yeah, OpenOffice developers are not like the other developers, which intentionally mislead readers into thinking their software is compatible with Windows XP. (when in fact, not the case sometimes) See this page: https://www.openoffice.org/product/windows.html#windows-version-support They even wrote that they tested OpenOffice on Windows XP: "Tested, stable, no platform-specific problems known.". If OpenOffice wasn't compatible with Windows XP, the text would be similar to what they wrote about Windows 2000 support.

  34. That's because that is only one half, one third, one fourth of the problem. Only after you resolve array.at does structuredclone error show up. Then after you resolve that, you're likely to encounter even more errors. You do not need an online viewer to view .pdf's - download it then drag and drop into 360Chrome, bypass that "viewer" -- https://storage.enganchesaragon.com/public-websites/ecommerce/Inst/C0801E.pdf

More specifically, I think we need to have some sort of approval before posting, he's just angry because I caught him several times with his misleading information and errors, but instead of saying thank you, he just insults and reports me.

  47. Ultra Adware Killer Ultra Adware Killer is a simple but powerful adware remover for Windows by Carifred. It removes browser toolbars, add-ons, plugins, unwanted search providers, hijacked homepages, and potentially unwanted programs (PUP's). It also allows resetting Chrome and Firefox preferences optionally. Ultra Adware Killer 10.7.7.0 from 09.05.2023 is the last XP-compatible version. It is fully portable, so no installation is needed, and it's free of charge. Every time Ultra Adware Killer is started, it briefly checks for updates. Homepage: https://www.carifred.com/ultra_adware_killer/ Quotation from UAK's homepage: Version number: 10.7.7.0 Date of release: 09.05.2023 System requirements: Windows XP 32/64 bit Windows Vista 32/64 bit Windows 7 32/64 bit Windows 8 32/64 bit Windows 10 32/64 bit Windows 11 Review: https://www.thewindowsclub.com/ultra-adware-killer-remover-cleaner Download link: Ultra Adware Killer 10.7.7.0 Screenshots: I did a scan, and it worked as advertised. To do so, you only need to press the Start scan button, wait until the scan ends, and remove the items found. Typically, the whole operation takes only a few minutes. Additionally, a custom scan to check files or single folders can be performed at any time But you have to read carefully not to delete entries which are actually belonging to harmless programs. On the homepage https://www.carifred.com/ultra_adware_killer/, you will find much more detailed instructions, help and information about this program. I think it is an interesting alternative to for example the depreciated Malwarebytes AdwCleaner. Greetings, AstroSkipper
