Hi @maile3241! You know my installation of XP is a very old one. So in the past there was no need to install XP freshly or to reinstall and therefore no chance for me to confirm your solution relating to automatic ActiveX download. But that's what I usually do before posting. Anyway I have updated my guide and linked your solution with reference to you. As we have seen some posts above it works and that's what matters.

The two programs I use for this area of trouble, usually to un-associate a program I've accidentally used forgetting to uncheck the, annoyingly, Windows checked by default 'make default' tick box rather than what is described here as being the problem are:- https://defaultprogramseditor.com/ and https://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/Unassoc.shtml I was thinking that you could try to un-associate everything already associated with opening a .pdf then with that clean slate trying to associate the program wanted. I find it a bit unusual that a 'proper' PDF viewer like Adobe Reader, Sumatra or Foxit are not amongst the options as usually, arrogantly, Adobe will assign itself by default to open any .pdf file type. So even if you use something else you'd expect to see it in the list. Whether these programs will help in this case I do not know but they're useful tools to have particularly as they both work with XP and Win7.

When you click on "Minimum" system requirements, it lists "Internet Explorer® version 11 and newer (Windows XP IE8)", so that's confusing.

I would certainly recommend that over any "AI-generated" list! We are YEARS away from "AI" being a trusted and reputable source! In my not-so-humble opinion. AI, for now, is nothing but "Junk in, junk out". I get some reasonably good STARTING POINT javascript code from AI, but it is NEVER perfect or good-to-go without HUMAN intervention.

I still have LTSC 2019 setup, and heavily customized, but I'm putting off using it. I really enjoy Windows 8.

Actually I restored it to IE6 (what it came with pre-installed in XP Pro SP2). Had to do this from scratch I had originally installed IE7 and then IE8 and deleted the IE7 and IE8 uninstall folders in Windows because at that time, why would I want to go back to IE6. right? IE6 doesn't support HTTPS or HTML5 which is what the internet switched to. At this point IE is dead anyway and all I need is an installed Internet Explorer for the files that other Windows apps use and share with it. However over the past 2 months I was discovering several issues with some Windows apps. Help and Support Center would not let me type text into the search box (not even a blinking cursor), I wouldn't get the Index when clicking on the Index button, and clicking on any of the Related Topics links would get me the "There is an error in this dialog" message. Also, when opening Computer Management from the Control Panel and selecting Services I would get the same message. Also, with the Indexing Service, Query the Catalog, the box that you type your search query into had no blinking cursor and the Sort By and Order By drop down boxes had only question marks in them. Also, User Accounts in the Control Panel failed to display the little question mark icons "?" And after getting IE6 back up I was getting that same error message when I would click on "About Internet Explorer" from the Help tab. It wouldn't display the information (ie. version number, cypher strength, product ID and updates). So after several weeks of trying to figure it out, and Google searches, I realized it had something to do with Internet Explorer. So I re-registered all the dll's that have to do with displaying HTML etc and voila, everything is now back to how it should be. The unusual folder behaviour was the last thing to fix. So before I used your suggestion I thought what if I just rename the Local Service folder and see what happens. So I did, from the parallel installation, and re-booted back into the system that had that problem. I was expecting Windows to either complain about it missing or even hang up but it didn't. The boot was as smooth as always. So I opened Explorer and chose Folder view and opened the Documents and Setting folder and there was a fresh new copy of the Local Service folder with everything in it. So it must be built into Windows to repair that. There was only one difference between it and the original Local Settings folder. The NTUser.dat file was 740Kb whereas the original one was 240Kb. So it would seem that it was corrupted somehow and caused that strange behaviour because it didn't create those extra folders in the wrong place after doing this. So everything is working correctly now and thanks to everyone who replied with suggestions.

I am on-topic. The topic name is "Firefox and Chromium running on Windows 7 by e3kskoy7wqk" It references the generic Chromium. Ungoogled is also Chromium, and more to the point, the author e3kskoy7wqk releases it. Let me help you find it. https://github.com/e3kskoy7wqk/Chromium-for-windows-7/releases/tag/ungoogled-chromium_140.0.7339.127 So please stay on-topic.

Ungoogled would be a fork, not a port. Please stay on-topic.

No, you don't. NTSTATUS InterruptServiceRoutine ... if(!that->AcknowledgeIRQ() ){ return FALSE; }

@modnar PowerStrip 3.7x runs on WinNT 4.0 but requires a supported graphics card - I test PCIe NVIDIA 6200 TurboCache with DVI-HDMI cable. For the program to work, you need to delete or rename the nvgpio.dll file to nvgpio.bak I use NVIDIA driver 71-84-winnt4-international.exe. PowerStrip detects and write EEPROM EDID without any problems - unless it is write-protected, of course. It can only program 128 bytes EDID: P.S. Only PowerStrip 3.85 can program EDID 256 bytes but under WinXP - tested same NVIDIA 6200 graphics card but only with vga.sys driver. The NVIDIA driver cannot be installed !!!

Sorry for the misunderstanding, but I am looking for updates that I haven't listed, yet. There should be something like 10 or 20 different versions of win32k.sys. But I know only the 3 I listed.

Thank you very much for the upload! And don't be worried, I won't ask you where you found it! @genieautravail Are there other installer versions available from your source? There is one other version I am also interested in, It is the file cispremium_only_installer.exe in the version 10.2.0.6514. Only if it doesn’t cause any trouble, of course. And only if you are not at work.

Thank you very much for the upload! And don't be worried, I won't ask you where you found it!

You're welcome. BTW, you can vote for a new Mypal 68 SSE release in this thread here like @exogenesis did or on GitHub.

Mypal 68.13.8b release for SSE 32-bit: https://codeberg.org/Theodor2/Mypal68/releases/download/68.13.8b/mypal-68.13.8.en-US.win32.zip

I'm afraid not, because it would require backporting the whole shared memory API from Windows 10 build 1809 to windows 8.1. Better/easier/legally safer to build chromium from scratch (source), which is open, so anyone can try.

Def. update is a blob in the format they previously used, just added new known vulnerabilities, collected during these years. .>>> Could you please not use CAPSLOCK, at least not that often, thanks.

Firefox has a nasty bug, where it can't properly process enterprise or self-signed roots. If you encountered them, I advise to add this string to default.ini and then try again, security.enterprise_roots.enabled=true

@mina7601 If I understood correctly, you did all from scratch, just for testing purpose?

And that's exactly what I prefer to do in most cases: manually as much as possible to gain full control. Unfortunately it's not possible in all cases. One can say a bit "old school" but I take it rather than a compliment. AIO packages can be great but they are not my favourites.

No new Easter egg from me! Either I've been just a bit too careless while writing and correcting or it is due to a kind of senility! Thanks for reporting again! I'll correct that immediately, of course! No, the fixed version of cacert Updater can be downloaded from first post in my thread in section Downloads: The changes are minor indeed and can be done simply by applying cacert Updater Fixed. BTW the AIO package has been created by @Windows7fan from MDL. Therefore maintaining of it isn't my job. And I totally agree, if actions are performed manually, users get full control because one knows what has been done and what has to be performed next. Very important if verifying of each step is necessary.

That would be great! In the case of publishing I will mention you for html creation, of course. I have a lot of respect for people doing things manually especially using programming languages like HTML4 and CSS. Once again, my honest respect! Nowadays I am more a batch programmer, more often a person modifying and fixing files, although I did more smaller projects in the past when I was much younger. Especially mathematical ones. But for now, kindest regards, AstroSkipper

Thanks a lot for replying! Therefore the winner is @xpandvistafan ! Ok, just a joke. I assume it is caused definitely by VM (Microsoft!). I have seen these connections in @mina7601's screenshots some posts above too. She lets XP running in a VM either.

No, thanks a lot. I'm just thinking about your connections coloured green in ProxHTTPSProxy's log window. I assume it is caused by running XP in a VM but I need a confirmation of someone using VMs too. And the winner is @maile3241

Congrats! You did it.

Ok, congrats! You did it! As I wrote above, following the mentioned guide leads to a successful access to MU.

I totally agree. Check if all steps of this "Complete guide for restoring Microsoft Update in IE" have been performed properly: Perform and verify each step!

Some times ago I made an iso image containing all updates of Office 2007 and 2010 by using WSUS Offline Update from www.wsusoffline.net. So I do not have to download all updates via MU if I want to install one of them.

All these problems with Microsoft Office, especially endless searches of Microsoft Update, incompatible updates and so on, made me stop installing Microsoft Office packages on Windows XP a long time ago. I use Softmaker Office 2016 Portable with all available features. It's totally sufficient for me. If I had to use Microsoft Office in Windows XP, I would install Office 2007. Older software is often a better choice in an old operating system.

You're welcome and, if I can, anytime again!

Thanks for information! I already knew that. Using WSUS method Automatic Updates applet works flawlessly. As expected the notification shield appears in systray and reports one urgent update is missing.

@maile3241 You said your automatic updates function is working. In Windows XP? I can' t see that in your screenshots.

Maybe in Explorer options you have hidden system files and extensions.

Sorry, I can't see the mentioned files in your folders. I see only the file wsus3setup.cab in first screenshot but in second one none of them. And don't hide your extensions of files. They are important to have a look at.

Error code 0x8007000D means Error_invalid_data. Therefore I think using the XP version won't fix it probably. You have to find another version if it exists at all. Did you copy wsus3setup.cat too? Without it won't work. Both files wsus3setup.inf and wsus3setup.cat are included in cab file wsus3setup.cab.

Maybe the file version of wsus3setup.inf is incorrect. Search for a version related to Windows 7. Maybe within a normal Window 7 system. wsus3setup.inf is located in folder SoftwareDistribution. But I've never used MU web site in Windows 7 so it is only a guess.

Also , one could buy a dozen of SIM cards from albanians at the nearest train station . Though they could still ping your location, if you have a battery in your phone . Or go to a big city , like Paris , activate with a SIM from there . Return home. Forgot to say , do NOT forget to use burners .

Not the case with Dixel's starter . It generates a new hardware ID and fake fingerprint each time your start your browser . I don't know about the one he gave you (which version) , but should also be doing the same thing . If not , there's a newer one. Try visit such websites and see what happens . I always get a captcha if I turn the advanced privacy setting on in the starter , and even if I solve that captcha , it asks me again because it can't make a proper fingerprint . As far as I know , from what he told me , they fingerprint you by your videocard first . And then by your driver , CPU , RAM size , system and vendor . All that should match with what the browser reports . No matches : captcha again .

Hello , this topic is about Vista , so no discussion of any others like 6.1 . Do we really need to involve the moderators ? Hi , could you be more specific about your CPU model ? 'cause I don't have anything , even remotely similar to what you've just described. Today I had a chance to test on Pentium G4620 and everything was pretty much similiar to Haswell Pentium . Logon bug from time to time , yes , but rarely . Audio and licensing services may not start , yes , but rarely too. And the machine was quite usable. Services could be started manually.

That's what I was talking about , as you can see , not only games are affected . I had started to notice such things when the first line of i3/i5/i7 arrived . Some of my progs just started to throw errors or won't launch at all. It was 10 or 11 years ago , I'm not sure I'll remeber which programs exactly , but debuggers and stuff like that don't usually like i3/i5/i7. I just bought a Pentium , problem solved . But nowadays Pentiums are stuffed with something that makes then behave like i3/i5/i7. Also some similar problems arose for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooking . You may want to try this bug on a plain and simple Haswell Pentium. But what about 32-bit Vista which loads perfectly fine ? It doesn't use this "timer " too ?

There you have it ! You need ONLY 64 bit . I will share this direct link to ALL official Opera versions from their archive . https://get.geo.opera.com/pub/opera/desktop/ You just need to extract it with 7zip , replace the files in your portable version, no installation needed . And use that portable launcher. Everyone , notice he has Aero working with Opera...

You also forgot Toshiba ! This is my list of quality/compatibilty/preference PCs and laptops with Vista (I've had experince with each brand) 1. Siemens PC and laptops (later became just "Fujitsu") 2. Philips and Siemens monitors (I mean in the old days , good quality and brilliant picture) 3. Toshiba notebooks 4. Sony notebooks 5. Dell notebooks (Win2000 - Vista era only) and some of their expensive monitors with Samsung screen (from 2006 - 2007) Everything else ..... hmmmm .... nah ....
