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.

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

I assume that @Zorba the Geek is looking for a client targeting Windows XP. However, your recommended email client Betterbird requires at least Windows 7 64bit.

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.

The 153 error relates to the referrer header – Google have decided that when embedding a video you can't block it any more. It's worth noting that when these useless error codes appear that you can right-click ... copy debug info ... paste that info somewhere you can read it, and then look towards the bottom for: "debug_error" The 153 error will reveal itself as: "embedder.identity.missing.referrer" which is the clue that it is caused by a missing referrer header. Ben.

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.

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

Yes. Install it from the Mozilla Add-ons page! For example the British English Dictionary (the only real English ): https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/british-english-dictionary-2/ Here is a screenshot taken from my Mypal 74.1.4 installation:

@feodor2 released Mypal 74.1.4 some days ago. Today, I have installed it and made some tests. The good news: my favoured Alice0775 script loading method still seems to be working with this new version, without any additional modifications. The bad news: the Custom Buttons extension stopped working completely.

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 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".

When using dark magic sharp corners and a custom msstyles after restarting the computer the highlight over the start button is rounded.

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.

Agreed!

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.

Hello Skorpios and modnar, Thank you very much for your feedback ! modnar said: "Same result in Serpent 52.9." The same result here with the latest version of St52.

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

Please,can someone confirm this ?

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.

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

it uses same cert store as latest firefox's security library (NSS) so it has latest certs.

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. ...

Intel finally released an official 24H2 compatible graphics drivers for 7th-10th Gen processors (it should also work on 25H2) https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/776137/intel-7th-10th-gen-processor-graphics-windows.html?wapkw=driver

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.

Regarding Speed Dial I found a ReferenceError in the Browser Console: ReferenceError: nsIWebNavigation is not defined[Learn More] speeddialOverlay.js%20line%201595%20%3E%20eval:42:13 This error message is generated every time I close a tab. And here is a screenshot taken from NM's Browser Console: And I got this message after resetting Speed Dial and browser restart: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x8000ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED) [nsIPrefBranch.getCharPref]" nsresult: "0x8000ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://speeddial/content/speeddialOverlay.js :: startBackgroundLoad :: line 1770" data: no] (unknown) So, the culprit seems to be the JavaScript file speeddialOverlay.js. The main problem with Speed Dial is that when tabs are closed, they are there again after a restart. The current browser session is therefore not restored as it has always been. Same applies to the extension Tab Utilities 2.1.2.

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.

Most importantly, how would you explain I can run the original 2044 perfectly fine, with or without my starter?

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?

No, in step 3 there are three urls related to MU. Maybe you have missed it.

@Dave-H Maybe perform all steps in my new post: As I told you I had a lot of troubles to restore MU in my system. I had all error codes someone could get. I think your error code has been one of them. Maybe you have a BIOS date/time problem due to low cmos battery but I don't think so. My advice: Do all the steps once again and do not miss anyone! You know Windows is very often a mystery.

Hello to all. First thanks all for your help! I've examined what was going wrong in my system. I found out that the patch in Restore_WU_XP_2003.7z didn't work in my system due to system file protection. The file wuaueng.dll was replaced by sfc. So I patched my sfc_os.dll in folder system32 to disable sfc. Here is a working instruction: After that patching I put the patched sfc_os.dll in both folder system32 and system32\dllcache. Now I was able to copy manually wuaueng.dll in both folders. But that was not enough. To get Microsoft Update working you have to edit config.ini in ProxHTTPSProxy or HTTPSProxy shown in my screenshot. Now it works and I can use Microsoft Update in my Internet Explorer. See my screenshot! https://imgur.com/CmN76Au https://imgur.com/re8X4cH

Your service provider has nothing to do with it . It's instagram not liking your IP because it's French. I got the same problem .

Thanks for very quick reply! I'm not getting "HTTP error 403 Forbidden" for both urls. I think you have to be in Germany to watch these streams due to terms of license . Maybe you can test it with a German VPN. I triied a German VPN and it works too. ffplay.exe of old legacy build ffmpeg-N-93674-g1e01f66-win32-static_legacy can play these streams without errors in Germany or using German VPN but using any new xpmod-sse builds no chance. In the command line log window I can see "skip...." endless lines. Then I got error message of windows. Maybe you want a log of these errors? It seems the new ones can't find audio streams and so on.

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

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 .
