Release: https://github.com/LordOfMice/Tools/blob/master/nvme9x.zip https://github.com/LordOfMice/Tools/blob/master/nvment.zip https://github.com/LordOfMice/Tools/blob/master/nvme2k-src.zip readme: NVMe driver for Windows 9x. Base: nvme2k 1.0.0.2 https://github.com/techomancer/nvme2k Changes: Port for Windows 9x, 64-bit LBA & Fixes 1. Generic - added SCSI 64-bit LBA commands processing (large drives support). Tested on Windows 9x ONLY - fixed controler shutdown code - speed up of command queueing and it is less CPU consuming - fixed enormously low speed or false positive errors on executing of large size requests - various code rectifications 2. Windows 9x specific - port with 2 bug fixes - install script nvme9x.inf written Install and uninstall as usual hardware, nothing specific.

Notice: although there are some commits in upstream which worth importing, I'm mentally affected by fire news happened in Hong Kong lately so new build will be delayed (i.e. no build this week)

The problem with posting new topics should now be fixed.

Makes sense; if Z was the last to have been loaded in the tab when that tab was closed, why do you expect otherwise? After all, the browser feature is called "Recently Closed Tabs", not "Recently Visited Sites" ; however, a closed-tab's history isn't being deleted (it's saved in session data); re-open the tab with site Z on it, then use the back button once to revisit site Y (or twice for site X, etc.) ...

this site uses await, which is filed in https://repo.palemoon.org/MoonchildProductions/UXP/issues/2229

Totally understandable; sincere condolences for the loss of life of so many of your compatriots ...

@thepwrtank18 Or just substitute MSO.DLL with @jumper's modified version. http://geocities.ws/jumper/ The installation then appears fully up to date and works.

The problem with the new topic lasted for a really long time, and only fixed now. I remember being unable to post on the Microsoft Office forum months ago. The Like button was used by a group of people with a leader whose name begins with "D", but they don't seem to be kiddies. I only use the like button generally when I've read what was said to me and don't want to reply anymore. While everything works, I'm keeping Supermium 132. Don't fix what isn't broken.

FFmpeg update. XP: static shared libfdk-aac VISTAx86: static shared libfdk-aac

Yes, I filed a complaint this morning (it was already "deleted"). Instead it's maybe better to use a PrivateBin instance. https://github.com/PrivateBin/PrivateBin

I cannot reply in your Russian forum but you are mistaken regarding IFSMGR.VXD 2227, it was Q301540.EXE and not 302540. How can you ignore it!

I still build on XP the old fashioned way: python -m pip install -U "setuptools>=71.0.2,<81" pip wheel pip install -U -r requirements.txt python -m pip install pyinstaller==5.13.2 python devscripts/update-version.py -c "nicolaasjan/yt-dlp" -r "nicolaasjan/yt-dlp" "2025.11.25.144622" python -m bundle.pyinstaller --onedir Where `requirements.txt` is: mutagen pycryptodomex brotli; implementation_name=='cpython' certifi requests>=2.32.2,<3 urllib3>=2.0.2,<3 websockets>=13.0 yt-dlp-ejs I have tested building with PyInstaller 6.16.0 from 3dyd (waiting for 6.17.0 now...) It can be done and it works, but it also requires a reinstall, because of the totally different contents of the zip file (link)... (and then also the ugly presence of `psapi.dll` in the root directory to make it work) TL;DR; as long as it works the old fashioned way, I'm hesitant to build with the "modern" PyInstaller on XP. 🤔 It's annoying that yt-dlp always wants the latest and "greatest". 😠

@nicolaasjan: Sunday is Nov 30th, 2025, thus I believe you'll be having a "hot potato" in your hands : https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/9149#issuecomment-3036991021 [build] Bump PyInstaller minimum version requirement to 6.17.0 https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/commit/280165026886a1f1614ab527c34c66d71faa5d69 For the Vista+(aka Win7) builds, your PyInstaller fork v6.17 came just in time : https://github.com/nicolaasjan/pyinstaller-builds/releases/tag/6.17.0 ... but what about those WinXP "onedir" packages which, IIANM, are still using PyInstaller-5.13.2 due to this ? (you can always revert 2801650 prior to the onedir compilation for XP, but how practical would that be in the long run? ...)

I had already commented that you cannot get past the captcha: "We could not the security challenge" , despite passing validation (green tick).

Nope. I run v140 (OT to Supermium but you did specifically call out "all Chrome variants", so it seems this time that OT = On Topic) and the Recently Closed Tabs is dead-on accurate. I've never had to use the Hamburger for the purpose of recent history.

The 'recently closed' list has always seemed to be reasonably accurate for me, although I have seen occasional anomalies where something which should be there isn't.

Microsoft Update offered me two suppsedly important updates for Office 2010 on Windows XP a couple of days ago, KB2863821 and KB4461522. They installed fine, but the next day I came to use Word, and it would not run, with the error message - Application popup: winword.exe - Entry Point Not Found : The procedure entry point GetDateFormatEx could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll. This was followed by "The operating system is not presently configured to run this application". I quickly found that no Office programs would now run, with the same error messages. I removed the two updates, and all returned to normal. I have no idea which of the updates caused the problem, and I haven't been offered either of them again so far, but if you are offered them, beware as they may well completely break your Office installation!

@EliraFriesnan The developer replied: https://github.com/e3kskoy7wqk/Chromium-for-windows-7/issues/70 The browser he linked to runs even on XP, but it is x64.

I created Isuue. Now we just have to wait for the developer's response.

Thank you a bunch for spoiling us ... The new shared build runs OK here (Vista SP2 32-bit) ; compared to the previous Vista+ shared offering (ffmpeg-n8.1-dev-891-git-20251025-gdefd5f3), I see that below libs (rather, buildconfig flags) have been removed: --enable-cuda --enable-cuvid --enable-d3d12va --enable-nvenc --enable-ffnvcodec --enable-nvdec --enable-mediafoundation --enable-libvpx --enable-libaom --enable-librav1e --enable-libkvazaar --enable-libxavs --enable-vulkan --enable-libvvenc --enable-libcelt --enable-opencl This has reduced the size of the extracted archive by ca. 23 MiB (from 127 to just 104); really indebted! Best wishes.

Hi, I just make a nice hack. I get a lot of Arduino nano for 67 Cent from China. They work under Win10 but not under XP SP3, "Unknown USB device". I use the Arduino IDE ver. 1.8.9 portable, means no installation. It has the exotic USB serial VID_0843&PID_5740. So, I take the win7 driver STM32_vcp_driver.zip from STMicroelectronics which has funny VID_0483&PID_5740. There I edit just the stmcdc.inf file only at this part ;------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ; VID/PID Settings ;------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [DeviceList.NT] %DESCRIPTION%=DriverInstall,USB\VID_0843&PID_5740 [DeviceList.NTamd64] %DESCRIPTION%=DriverInstall,USB\VID_0843&PID_5740 Right click on this modded stmcdc.inf "install", and voila, this Arduino nano clone from China works perfect under XP SP3 Dietmar

There isn't a way to show heart there afaik. Or is there a heart with native taskbar?

No, not really. That is the "this is not an INSTALLER, just EXTRACT and EXECUTE" version. To make it PORTABLE, you have to "wrap it" wit a LOADER so that the .exe doesn't save files outside of its own directory, so that it doesn't make permanent changes to the registry, etc.

All Programs will load by default only if you have recent programs disabled and no apps pinned

This thread is about @roytam1's browsers targeting legacy OSes. And that means even browsers under Windows 7 and Windows 8 as they are also legacy in the meanwhile. But I think @Zorba the Geek is looking for a solution under Windows XP.

I have tried Interlink, MailNews and Epyrus. None of them can work with OAuth2 (at least for Outlook). I've since installed Betterbird, back in the spring. All good now

I assume that you are talking about the version of Supermium in the 'Web Browsers / Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes' section. That version does not seem to be portable or am I wrong? I am using Win XP and would like a portable version that is Google free for Win XP. I found a version at Major Geeks: Download Supermium Portable - MajorGeeks / Supermium Portable 132.0.6834.226_R5.02 Date: 08/26/2025 Size: 192 MB License: Open Source Requires: 11|10|8|7|Vista|XP https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/supermium_portable.html Then at PortableApps.com: Supermium Portable 126.0.6478.261 R7 (web browser with legacy support) Released A new version of Supermium Portable has been released. Supermium is a web browser based on Chrome with legacy Windows support (XP/vista/7/8). https://portableapps.com/news/2025-01-27--supermium-portable-126.0.6478.261-R7-released and there appear to be at least a couple versions at Github ... but they seem to be only for Windows 7 and 8. I've been wanting to try Supermium for a year or so but just not sure which version to work with and if a portable version would work. In the Supermium topic in 'Web Browsers' there is never any talk of a portable version. Would that portable version at Major Geeks be OK to go with? ... I've read the talk about using only an 'ungoogled' version. Thanks ...

Powering it down is also not advisable, since it can just never spin up again. In such cases I usually flip those poor dying b*stards in an attempt to spin them up. Some models do spin up when placed upside down, make it very gently, while they're powered on.

I strongly advise against any type of tests on any allegedly dying HDD, especially if we know the disk is from the Deathstar 2.0 family. From what I understood, @Cixertalready run chkdsk. CHKDSK is basically a death sentence for those disks, last nail in the coffin.

I can't really say whether the problem also occurs in Pale Moon (32-bit or 64-bit ), as I don't use this browser. It was also just a guess. In any case, the Speed Dial 0.9.6.18 and Tab Utilities 2.1.2 extensions in the latest New Moon 28 32-bit release definitely break the session restore function on my Windows XP system. The Session Manager extension only generates some errors in the Browser Console but is still working so far.

First of all, the extensions don't show any error message pop-ups. However, I didn't check the console. Next time, I will reinstall Speed Dial and check the console messages.

Although your question is of rhetorical nature, I just want to understand what happened. The reported extensions worked for many years properly. So what is the cause for their sudden breakage?

Interesting! How do you change the white colour folder background in Windows 8 (not 8.1)?

Of course the 10th of March 2021. I'll send you missing certificates as soon as possible. I think they aren't unique, only made for my system. They are from Microsoft. And try method "Turning back time" at all costs! But now Microsoft Update isn' t working anymore. You have to check all including status of all services. And please send me your screenshots listed by ServiWin. Comparing with help of your log file is too tiring.

@Dave-H Due to the fact that the Microsoft service HTTP-SSL was disabled in your system I think it is a good idea to compare our Microsoft services and their status generally to be sure all necessary system services are still working. There might be some services not being essential but anyway in my system Microsoft Update is working properly. To do that download the tool ServiWin 1.71 from NirSoft. Here is the homepage link: https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/serviwin.html and here the download link: https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/serviwin.zip. It's portable so there is nothing to install. I've taken two screeshots of all Microsoft services existing in my system listed by ServiWin. Columns with German description have been faded out. So it's much easier for comparing. Here they are: https://imgur.com/az67Jo6 and https://imgur.com/bIQ2jIN.

@maile3241 Where is it missing? In my third step I already wrote to add it to Trusted zone of IE. Maybe a little bit more explanation, please!

@maile3241 Once more, thanks for your great help! Glad it works for you too and I could help a bit. It wasn't easy to find the cause of my error codes (I had a lot of them) but my guess to edit config.ini of HTTPSProxy was correct. I have checked a lot of registry entries and files. Now I have tested Microsoft Update site several times and it works flawlessly. It found one update missing and I could install it from there. See my screenshot https://imgur.com/oAO72vT

You're welcome ! Over and out ...

This is sponsored by Russia to scare us so we will stop usung nuclear energy and buy from them . It's that simple. Look at the countries that got rid of their nuclear power , they are all depend on russia's supplies (Germany , etc). What next ? Right , energy crisis and super high prices, like this year . What next ? Anything , inluding war . I'm glad France still has plenty of nuclear power left . Even though I agree it's not 100% safe and scary , it's not scarier than to be russia's pet . Don't forget , France is the World's super power . Vive la France ! About the toxic waste , read articles , they are sent to russia , ha ha .

Another CEO of Indian origin ?

I' sorry for the late reply , got busy . It's in the main folder User Data , right beside the Default. Also, other folders there : FontLookupTableCache , PnaclTranslationCache (what is this ?) , ShaderCache. Do you have them too and , most importantly , do we need them , thanks & sorry again.

So I have gone through group policy and shutdown everything I understand. completely disabled auto updates via group policy, and disabled all telemetry that can be disabled, consumer experiences, and everything else that can be shut down there. No apps, no cortana. Disabled unneeded services. Disabled all unneeded scheduled tasks. Now I am trying to minimize logging. Going through perfmon I find that there are a few logs which I can disable safely without any ill effects. The one that got me was WdiContextLog, as it took some trial and error to figure out that this was the one that caused the start menu to become extremely unresponsive when disabled. There aren't that many logs in here anyway. After disabling a few I have 11 enabled here. Now I don't completely understand how all this works, but I gather that these logs are pulling data from multiple sources in some cases, so maybe that is why NirSoft's EventLogChannelsView shows 299 event log channels as enabled. I am actually doing this for a friend just now, but it will apply to my own system when I get home next week as well. My friend initially wanted to just turn off all the logs, and he tried to, and he broke his OS - lots of strange behavior, extremely slow, and unstable. I'm not sure what all he did, but he was smart enough to take a disk image before his attempt. So I wonder if any of you smart people would not mind helping me to identify which of these 299 channels are essential, which are maybe not essential but might be important, and which are not really needed for someone like me (or my friend) who will never make use of any of them anyway. I really only want those ones running which have to be running for general application compatibility and system stability. EventLogChannelsView gives lots of options for sorting these. You can see which ones are 'classic' and which ones are new. I can see that many have zero entries, and a few have lots of entries. I temporarily disabled all of them, and shut down a number of services in order to open a window of opportunity to create a junction and move winevt directory off the system volume and onto a smaller cheap SSD which is used for vram, scratch disk, indexing, and logging. There was one (Intel-SST-CFD-HDA%4IntelSST.etl) that was very stubborn, but somehow I did manage to gain control of it long enough to create the junction. Then I re-enabled everything just as it was before that operation. Hope some of you might be willing to offer some deeper insight here. For list of enabled event channels see the spoiler at the bottom. As an aside, I am also very curious about NtfsLog in Perfmon. In Windows 10 I seem to recall it writing directly to D:0\$LogFile which is an integral part of the ntfs drive format. This file is presented as if it is essential for the volume to be able to recover failed writes due to unexpected shutdowns or some such. It seems like this is actually of limited use to average users. In general if our system shuts down suddenly, in the middle of writing data, we lose the data. Ntfs or no. Other file systems seem to work perfectly fine without this 'feature,' discounting potential data loss if shutdown mid-write. It seems to me like the major benefits of Ntfs are mostly not facilitated by this logfile. Such as bigger file sizes, and advanced permissions. I digress though. Shouldn't $LogFile be handled by the Ntfs driver or something on a very low level, rather than an event log? Maybe my recollection is mistaken. I will have to recheck Windows 10, but I could swear that the event log "NtfsLog" in perfmon startup was writing to D:0\$LogFile in win 10. Yet right now, I am looking at the very same entry on Server 2016 but it is writing to C:\Windows\system32\LogFiles\Wmi\NtfsLog, which kind of makes more sense. So what is up with NtfsLog?

Hello heinoganda, thanks for your reply. I've got no update officially offered through Microsoft Update. Can you send me your german installer MSEInstall.exe or provide a download link? Thanks and regards
