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.

Try modifying the entries with this program https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/file_types_manager.html it's more advanced than the default open with gui. Maybe try this pdfxedit on another computer/VM look up how it's getting automatically set there and if it works replicate that config

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

Not sure on Win7, but never trust an Uptime claim on Win10. Why? Because you can "hibernate" and then leave the computer in the attic for DECADES. Then launch it DECADES later and the "uptime" will SAY it has been "up" for that ENTIRE time.

That seems to be related to A/B switch 41356296. Check if it's enabled with vivetool

I have an FM Transmitter that I've modified to "jam" any radio within 50 feet. Overrides a local FM radio station and plays DEAD SILENCE instead. Not sure if I'm breaking any FCC rules or not. BUT it is a GODSEND for my SANITY! Why? Because I do not (and will not!) listen to COUNTRY MUSIC !!! :)

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.

Jody, Vista is the same 6.x as Win8, as soon as he retires Vista, Win8 will follow the same road. Win10 is another story though.

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; }

Hello. Update on my problem. Problem solved! I had to install windows 98 with the "install /p i" command that ignores Acpi detection/installation, this helped with all the setups I've tried to install 98 on !

It is.

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.

New build of post-deprecated Serpent/moebius for XP! * Notice: This repo will not be built on regular schedule, and changes are experimental as usual. ** Current moebius patch level should be on par with 52.9, but some security patches can not be applied/ported due to source milestone differences between versions.

Those builds are originally for my private use and they are released because of my goodwill that I think they may help others. This bug doesn't affect me and so I don't have big intention on hunting and fixing it. If you want this to be fixed you at least need to find when the problem started to occur. and last but not least, stop gaslighting.

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

From my research, WD is simply not capable to produce disks of any capacity above 6TB. I have WD60EFAX (6TB SMR), it's fine, despite the new not so popular SMR tech. It's still too new to tell about the longevity.

What are you trying to edit "without success"? "Sunsetting Chrome Translate for old Chrome" - is the cause. Research done in a couple of clicks. https://support.google.com/chrome/thread/217285368/sunsetting-chrome-translate-for-chrome-m95-and-older?hl=en They claim to still support 96 and up, which is not entirely true, at least on my end, I was only able to get translate fully working with Chrome 103 (May or June 2022).

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.

As I wrote in my guide, everything can be done manually. That's how I did it. By doing things manually you have full control of what you do and verifying is much more easier. Here is the changelog to AIO Update version 1.2.1: "Version 1.2.1 3/6/22: Updated cacert.pem to the latest version. This improves compatibility with most websites including Windows Update." This is a quotation taken from MDL.

I am so sorry! Truth to be told I really thought you are female because of your name Mina (read in forum "Introduce Yourself!") meaning "heaven". Once again, I have to apologize to you! Do not be angry! Appearently I am not a Sherlock Holmes. Wow! You are the only one who has found my easter egg! That means you have really read my guide carefully! Thanks for reporting! Good luck! Hope it will work this time! Kind 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

Maybe you did all steps but did you verify each one deeply? Presumably your Windows Update Client hasn't been installed properly. Install it again. Then install patch and check if the correct patched version of "wuaueng.dll" exists in both folder system32 and system32\dllcache. In a lot of cases SFC replaces the patched version by an original one. Check if all registry entries have been added and so on. One thing I can say definitely: my guide is working and has been tested successfully. All people here who said "I did all steps" missed one or didn't verify carefully if all has been done correctly. Some posts above you can read such comments. Checking all is the first you should do.

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!

@maile3241 Could you please provide more detailed information under which conditions and settings you get these notifications in systray? An additional upload of your WindowsUpdate.log would be helpful!

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.

I use Glarysoft's Quick Startup. It has a delayed startup feature too. Very good tool and afaik more recent. No, I meant wuauclt /detectnow doesn't work for me too. No notifying of new updates (and in my case there is one), no shield in systray, no entries in event log. Sorry for confusing! It's not my day! Automatic Updates Control Panel applet is not greyed out and can be called up but changing settings by this applet has no effect.

@maile3241 I've checked the location of wsus3setup.inf once again. The file exists in two folders, one copy is in folder WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\SelfUpdate\Default\ and the other in WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\WebSetup\. Both files have been accessed by WU. Maybe you missed one location.

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 .

And where's your famous "cop talk" like we have nothing to hide or smth like that (sorry for the free paraphrasing). Anyways , got my Yahoo in 2008 . No phone was needed back then.

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.

Banking sector is being heavily regulated by governments , right ? So write to the bank and demand to show you the >federal< law which clearly states that this form of identification is required. I'm guessing there will be none . As my understanding goes, your country is in the EU , so file a complaint to Brussels , BELGIUM . Also , I think we need to stop being on their leash . Today we do what they want , tomorrow it will identification by DNA , have your tried using ordinary paper money ? Official links and info from their page below : "EU policy areas with a direct effect on the rights of European consumers, such as banking..." https://ec.europa.eu/info/policies/consumers/consumer-protection_en You have the right (Article 227 TFEU) to submit a petition to the European Parliament : http://ec.europa.eu/justice/citizen/index_en.htm If you consider that the European Commission has not dealt with your request properly, you may contact the European Ombudsman(Articles 24 and 228 TFEU). http://www.ombudsman.europa.eu/home.faces

The aforementioned driver (the one he claims to have modified for Vista usage) is still present and the kernel too. This driver is the same as ofiicial , except he replaced a couple of digits in the inf file.

What's there to check out ? You've already done a marvellous thing ! One can make this flag permanent and use the browser with it forever . I think it's better to investigate what causes the locale problem with the extensions . Or , as I said earlier , figure out how to force everything to use English (block other locales) . I already added this flag to the starter (with ungoogled) quite some time ago. Oh , and extensions without locales will work (I checked with chromium 86). By the way , the new files are already in the mega folder ?
