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)

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

The problem with posting new topics should now be fixed.

no clue, check for upstream if problem persists. (but remember, youtube pushes AV1 content which is too heavy for old machines.)

fileextd.dll its a old rare file that provide some functions that xp useally dont have - it can be seen as kernel extender i dont know its origin either some say its from the xbox and a official file while other say its a handmade file by someone maybe we get some more information about it what i know is that it is shown as used library on microsofts website: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winbase/nf-winbase-getfileinformationbyhandleex then "Kernel32.lib; FileExtd.lib on Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP"

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.) ...

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

@roytam1 I believe that he is asking not about xpi min-ver issues, but rather his issues with video playback in Serpent.

Hello Anton12, you addressed your request to blackwingcat personally. Since he didn't respond for a while now, I will share my thoughts which might or might not help in getting somewhat forward with the issue. The standard "TLS 1.3" was published in 2018. The last official updates for Windows 2000 are from 2016. The last updates for Windows XP are from 2017 (I think). However, there were still updates published for Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 back in 2018. Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 is based on Windows XP and therefore is somewhat compatible with Windows 2000. So it would make sense to check whether there is an update for Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 which adds support for TLS 1.3. It would be a start to work on a solution for Windows 2000. If there is no such update, then it would be nice to know, when and how Microsoft added support for TLS 1.3 to Windows/Internet Explorer for a version as close as possible to what we have in Windows 2000. This type of research can be done without having any skills in programming. But it still helps the person whoever ends up writing the patch. There aren't many who have the skills to backport new features and write a clean and working update for end users. So the todo list of those persons are usually pretty full. Any help to reduce the burden from the bottle neck is often appreciated. Adding support for TLS 1.3 support in principle is one thing. A clean integration into the operating system is another thing. For example being able to activate/deactive support through the internet options like with the other standards would be nice, too. However, it adds more work to the undertaking.

I am on GitHub. But... You won't like this answer. I technically no longer subscribe to "keep XP alive" or "keep 7 alive". The endeavor is a great endeavor, don't get me wrong. But what we end up with instead is spoon-feeding a sect of society that *CAN* afford a newer mode of internetting (and most even confess HAVING NEWER) but think that they are somehow "entitled" to the rest of the world keeping their XP or 7 capable of "everything".

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". 😠

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!

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

steve: i'm still dl every month. thx again for keeping these lists viable. Helps a lot. ron

Since it's so useful, should you give me a thumbs up?

Confirmed With Mypal68 74.1.4 the item was added but I didn't continue with the purchase...

Well the forks do. Not the standard product. And there are other applications other than browsers that have challenges. Anyway, all good

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.

This may be of some use for Win XP users in today's world with Win XP being phased out more everyday ... this service is also listed to work with Windows 98 SE / ME also. I used it about 6 years ago myself and now am being forced to use it again in Oct 2025 to be able to get my Win XP computer on the internet with a VPN. The paid service I was using has finally cut off all Win XP connections. They warned two years ago it was coming and the service still works for my Windows 7 computer but I still mostly use my Win XP computer for everyday connecting. As I said above ... I used this free VPN about 6 years ago and I have hooked the XP computer up to the service again. I will say that they have really improved things and the service is great in 2025. Perhaps some of you know about it already but if not ... then you can check it out if you need a VPN for Win XP. https://www.vpngate.net/en/ https://www.vpngate.net/en/download.aspx VPN Gate - Public Free VPN Cloud by Univ of Tsukuba, Japan Welcome to VPN Gate.

One word about connecting, if you need an US connection for banking, Tubi or whatever ... they are not always there, just at various times. You will figure all this out as you get familiar with the service. ...

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 ...

One can get tired of exporting one by one very quickly. Let's see, There we have often cases where pics and videos are stored at another website, so even if you export the main (root) website cert, the pics will show empty, the browser will prevent the off-site untrusted (un-certified) connections. Last but not least, many modern AV scanners use your cert store to check the sites and/or your browser's executable. As we see, Tripredacus uses official browsers, perhaps he uses such AV software, too.

This time I agree, the engine is too bloody old anyways. Don't waste time.

Thanks AS for the detailed explanation of the steps in setting up a new profile that you use. I will do the same ... it sounds like the way to go after reading your post. ...

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 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. @UCyborg For reproducing this issue, it is simply enough to only use either Speed Dial or Tab Utilities. So, for example, disable Tab Utilities and Session Manager, start latest New Moon 28 (32-bit), close some tabs and restart the browser. Then you should actually notice that the already closed tabs are still there which means the internal session (re)store does not work anymore if Speed Dial is enabled. You should also see the error message "ReferenceError: nsIWebNavigation is not defined" in the Browser Console when closing tabs from the current browser session. The more tabs you close, the more error messages you will get. At least, that's what I observe in dirty or clean New Moon 28 (most recent version) profiles on my Windows XP 32-bit computer. And I'm pretty sure that I'm not the only one affected by this issue. Maybe, other members may also confirm this issue.

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?

What is this? The main script inside the legacy extension turbolauncher.xpi.

Everything works for me. The userscript Vorapis.user.js, the script patcher.user.js from the webextension, the webextension Project_VORAPIS_OBT_Test_0.8.10.26_(1727286007541).zip itself, the launcher webextension v3_get_old_youtube_layout-1.0.8.xpi and the legacy extension turbolauncher.xpi. The only issue I have is the missing suggestions in the YT search box while typing in UXP browsers.

That's a general problem here on MSFN. If members/users have problems, they are very communicative and willing to provide information. But when it comes to selflessly contributing something to the cause, a certain listlessness prevails. Very regrettable. In principle, the same people always make a contribution here to move the cause forward.

Good comparison! This clearly shows the positive effect of rebasing I stated in previous posts. 66.6% less RAM consumption. That's a lot. BTW, maybe your CPU is weaker (I can't remember what kind of CPU you have) but your system is equipped with 4 GB RAM, mine with only 1.5 GB RAM (slow SD-RAM, i.e., no DDR-RAM).

In my system with 1.5 GB RAM, every single megabyte counts. 350 to 450 MB is then a huge amount of RAM.

Didn't you just contradicted yourself? This flag only has an effect if you are TAB HOARDING !!! No. If you open two or three tabs of the same domain to really work with them, then this has nothing to do with tab hoarding as they are closed immediately when all is done.

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

You deleted already, but in reply to this, it's not normal you get 20+ secs delays, it's simply not normal, for me it starts in milliseconds on a usual HDD (not SSD). Ever considered to try to change the VGA driver?

I agree. You are on the right way.

Hello, I use the FFmpeg for Windows XP builds to watch Live TV streams. Really nice work and thanks for that. But there is a problem. All new xpmod-sse builds work great and better than the old legacy ones except with Live streams of two German local channels ZDF and ZDFneo. The stream urls are https://zdf-hls-15.akamaized.net/hls/live/2016498/de/med/master.m3u8 and https://zdf-hls-16.akamaized.net/hls/live/2016499/de/med/master.m3u8. ffplay.exe of old legacy build ffmpeg-N-93674-g1e01f66-win32-static_legacy can play these streams without errors. Something must have changed by modifying I think. Any ideas? Thanks and regards

I posted a link to a specific comment with proof . Do you have proof ? I do not need to read that whole topic , I simply do not agree with the topic's OP , but I agree with the comment [made by another member] . Thanks but no thanks , I'm not going to use any of the firefox based browsers , BTW , this topic is about 360 Extreme explorer. Why would you write your forefox suggestions here ?

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.
