New version now released, Supermium 132.0.6834.224 R4. This release of Supermium includes various changes and improvements, including: (#1412) - Option to disable autoplay introduced in chrome://flags, #disable-autoplay (#1403) - --force-dark-mode option introduced to deal with possible issues with white flashes in dark mode. However, some flashes may still appear due to caching of previous page views (#1445) - chrome://version uses Supermium branding (#1441, #1433, #1398, #1400) - Small changes to default metrics, particularly affecting v109 and CR23 tab styles (#1438) - New tab button fixed in place (and the tab close button should no longer overlap favicons) (#1411) - Download link now appears by default in chrome://downloads, as opposed to referrer link (issue unassigned) - #disable-gpu-driver-bug-workaroundsnow available in chrome://flags Some small mitigations have also been introduced for crashes in portable configurations on Windows 7.

True. Also sad, as that version really isn't that old. Today I found myself unable to log into my discover.com account using Thorium. Seriously? Perhaps a UAO would've gotten me in, but the discover.com site was not at all helpful with regard to minimum supported browser versions. I only tried a Chromium 125 user agent, which didn't work. Version 125 works with Chase, which is only reason I tried even that one UAO. As a Windows 7 user, it was easier for me to just try R3dfox, which worked, so I didn't pursue UAOs any further.

Yesssssaaa After soso much crazy tests and hacks I succeed with the Nvidia GT 730 graphik card for to boot XP SP3 with full 32 bit 3D graphik on the Arrow Lake Gigabyte board B860 DS3H under pure Uefi, means no csm at all. Dietmar

@K4sum1 Could you try again with the new update? An important issue was fixed. I tried in my Windows 7 VM with the following command: yt-dlp --no-config -f "(bestvideo[height<=720]+bestaudio/best[height<=720])[vcodec!*=av01]" -t mkv "https://youtu.be/bCTObNkRGsg" And it gave me an mkv file with opus audio: Algemeen Unique ID : 57964954628617501393979581759164836982 (0x2B9BA4E945544816E3D80FC0D01CEC76) Volledige naam : C:\Users\Nico\I Built a Toilet Paper Slot Machine and It Actually Works!

That fixed it for me, thank

I'm glad you like my article. Creating it and making the HTTPSProxies more future-proof was a pleasure for me as a die-hard fan of Windows XP.

The topic is about Win 8.1, but since there is no separate one for 8.0 I am posting the information here, it also works after very similar modifications (even GetSystemTimes is not missing, although this 8.0 is RTM without any updates, and 8.1 I use updated to the end of 2017)

If it doesn't work either, then I can add some checks to narrow down the problem. Btw: You got surprisingly far in the booting process. Once the graphic issue is solved, you will most likely see the graphical user interface of Windows 2000.

The blue screen you got means in many situations that the graphics driver was not able to list any display mode. You could try my universal graphics driver for Windows 2000. But the chances are no way close to 100% that this will fix the problem. It might be a problem with videoprt.sys or no access to the VGA configuration registers.

No, chainload not work: UefiMain Found Windows Boot Manager at '\u7.original.efi' Launch Loaded 'PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1F,0x2)/Sata(0x4,0xFFFF,0x0)/HD(1,MBR,0xD5AED5AE,0x800,0x32000)/\u7.original.efi' Launch Addresss behind FileImageHandle=C1B43718 Launch File does not match an EFI loader signature but I fix and compile special version U7 no load Windows Boot Manager - use verbose=1 in UefiSeven.ini to display this info on screen: but CSMWrap replace C0000 memory using VBIOS PCIe or SeaVGABIOS. I wonder if you compile a special version of CSMWrap that doesn't change anything in memory under C0000 and if Windows would boot into the vga.sys driver ? https://www.mediafire.com/file/o1mp9mbx11iyudm/u7nwbm.efi/file

I had a look at your project and made a bit of experience, which I'd like to share. trying it out I tried the iso file by mounting it as a CD drive in a virtual machine (VirtualBox). I selected 64 MB of RAM, which is the minimum system requirement for Windows 2000 Professional, and then I booted from CD. After a short moment of loading the installation greeted my with an error message complaining about the amount of system memory. Also, the message was in the wrong language and I had no ability to change the language. Attachment: memory.png I turned off the virtual machine, increased the amount of memory to 128 MB, which is the minimum system requirement for Windows 2000 Server to Datacenter. But when booting again I was shown the same error message. So I increased the amount again to 256 MB with the same result. So I continued with 512 MB with the same result. When I increased the amount to 1 024 MB the error message no longer appeared. Instead a black screen was shown for about 3 minutes with seemingly no disc activity. Attachment: black.png. After these 3 minutes the screen turned to something colorful but again with seemingly no disc activity. Attachment: colorful.png After 7 minutes in total I aborted the test. Afterwards I increased the amount of memory to 1 536 MB and retried but ended up with the same results (3 minutes black screen then something colorful). the documentation I had a look at the documentation and was pleased to see that at least something exists. Missing documentation is unfortunately a problem with many projects. So I went through it and tried to learn something from it. The documentation starts with claiming that it is a NT6.x installer, using the Window 10 setup to install Windows 2000. Well, Windows 10 is not NT6.x. Here is an overview of the Windows versions and their brand names: Brand name|date of release|version|major version|minor version Windows 2000|December 1999|5.0|05|h|0|h Windows experience (XP) 32 Bit|August 2001|5.01|5|h|1|h Windows experience (XP) 64 Bit|?|5.02|5|h|2|h Windows Server 2003|March 2003|5.02|5|h|2|h Windows Server 2003 R2|?|5.02|5|h|2|h Windows Vista|January 2007|6.00 (build 6000)|6|h0|h Windows Server 2008|March 2008|6.00 (build 6001)|6|h|0|h Windows 7|October 2009|6.01 (build 7600)|6|h|1|h Windows Server 2008 R2|October 2009|6.01 (build 7600)|6|h|1|h Windows 8|?|6.02|6|h|2|h Windows Server 2012|?|6.02|6|h|2|h Windows 8.1|?|6.03|6|h|3|h Windows Server 2012 R2|?|6.03|6|h|3|h Windows 10|?|10.00|10|h|0|h Windows Server 2016|10.00|10|h|0|h If your installer is really based on Windows Vista, it would explain, why it failed with the minimum system requirement regarding memory of Windows 2000. I did not check the system requirement of the processor, but Windows 2000 is fine with a Pentium processor - it does not need a Pentium Pro processor. Windows Vista will not work on a Pentium processor, as far as I know, but I haven't tested it and could be wrong. Legal perspective In your documentation you claim to distribute your project under the MIT license. The files in the iso, on the other hand, seem to be files from Microsoft which are covered by the EULA (not the MIT license). And this brings legal issues regarding copyright. There are only very few countries (like Iran) where distributing files from Microsoft is legal. In some additional countries (like Germany) the distribution is legal, as long as it is done for a scientific purpose. However, when it is not for a scientific purpose (like the general distribution to end users after the beta test is done), then it is also illegal in these countries. So this gets you in the situation, that you can work on your project but you cannot distribute anything to the general public. Which means, you are doing everything just for yourself. It will not serve the Windows 2000 community. As a matter of fact, as long as you keep yourself bussy with this project, you don't work on anything that will be helpful to anyone else. So if all you want to do is install Windows 2000 on a specific computer then just buy a cheap and compatible one on the second hand market. Use it to install Windows 2000 and then mount the hard disc in your favourite computer. It will save you a lot of time. Maybe you could explain your plans about the legal issue if I misunderstood them. Summary The drastic increment of the system requirements make your installer less compatible than a vanilla Windows 2000 disc. Your installer might work for you and some other people which struggle to get through the first phase of the installation. I think it will be difficult to reduce the system requirements as long as you are using so much stuff that you haven't written yourself. The legal issue is very hard to solve if you plan to ship Microsoft's property to end users. It looks as if you are building a spider web. It it useless and you get caught in it. The more time you invest in this project the more difficult it will become for you to let go again and drop the project by coming to the conclusion that all your invested development time is wasted. We had a similar discussion in the discord server a while ago. Some developers started to backport stuff from newer versions of Windows. I warned them about the issue that these files, once completed, could not be distributed to the general public. Folks continued with the backporting. After a while one of the developers involved wanted to announce the progress to the general public in the WinRaid forum (or whatever it is called). His post was quickly deleted. So he posted it here in the MSFN forum where the rules are not enforced so strictly. But still, it would have been much better, if all this precious development time went into something that doesn't need to be hidden somewhere. In politics we have a similar situation with the project "Ukraine". The NATO spent billions and billions into project "Ukraine" and now that nearly everyone knows that the NATO lost the war, they just can't let go. They spend some more billions, send some more ammunition, send some more wonder weapons like the Panzerhaubitze 2000, the Challenger, the Himars, the Taurus. They try to keep Selensky in power for a bit longer but the war is lost. All their spendings are wasted and Ukraine is on the brink of bankruptcy, unable to pay back all the money they borrowed. But they just can't let go, because they spent so much into this project.

guess i've already told u about that; anyway, after 11 my time I'll ask Virgus to explain it to u in more detail - not that easy, believe it or not. as far as the whole windows reduction process is concerned, have u installed win10 or win11 on a vhd yet? that is what I meant when I asked u whether u were ready for more. pls let me know.

@roytam1 github problem if try use @

new version is up ! <3

It was already explained by @D.Draker, and it's because in Supermium, the author always "enhances" the colour vibrancy, that's it. In standard Chrome (or CatsXP), the blue colour is nice, no over-saturation, no "acidness".

It's the case since my kindergarten years, since at least a couple of decades, and this was one of many reasons for people to move to IDM in circa 2007. Looks like you used a browser from 2005 until now, That said, try CatsXP, it deletes the damaged file, yes, but interrupted downloads links don't disappear, you still can click on resume...

The separate installer for Windows 10 and 11 was introduced to apparently mitigate some hard to pin down issues which only appeared on those operating systems. https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/releases/tag/win10_11-test-v1 What the differences actually are, I don't know, but the separate installer has remained on all subsequent releases. I've never used it on Windows 10, because I've had no problems with the standard version.

Windows 11 Security claims it detected: Trojan:Win32/Bearfoos.A!ml "Details: This programme is dangerous and executes commands from an attacker." Someone explain pls, do I have to worry? How do they know it's driven by an attacker? It means it detected connections from the outer world? I'm scared... https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/1399

Sorry for the off-topic, these are more beautiful to my taste, pleasant colours and look more like XP era drivers. 36x,xx has a more "moderm" look. Besides, 352.xx and 355,xx have the better Directx9 speed. 368 give nothing new to XP.

I meant your Nvidia Quadro M4000. What prevents you from using it with XP? Do you need drivers? D.Draker has them, I can ask. https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/quadro-m4000.c2757

https://github.com/LordOfMice/Tools/blob/master/vmm4gfix.zip readme: Bug fix VMM.VXD from Windows 98(SE) & ME on handling >4GiB addresses and description of problems with resource manager on newer BIOSes. Contents: VMM_4GRes_Fix.exe - VMM.VXD bug fix EXAMPLES\ - Examples of BIOSes causing problems with resource manager For your information, logs of Int 15h Fn E820h "Memory Map" in EXAMPLES\ directory are obtained by EXTINFO.EXE utility from BURNMEM package: https://github.com/LordOfMice/Tools/blob/master/burnmem.zip Installation: 1. Extract VMM.VXD either from the current Windows instance %WINDIR%\SYSTEM\VMM32\VMM.VXD (save it somewhere) or from the installation package if VMM.VXD is not in %WINDIR%\SYSTEM\VMM32\ (note that there it is called VMM32.VXD and you need to rename it to VMM.VXD). 2. Patch it VMM_4GRes_Fix.exe VMM.VXD VMM.VXD in case of success the result will be: Pattern Found @xxxxxxxxx, Patched Trying to Save "VMM.VXD"... Success where xxxxxxxxxx is the real address for your version of VMM.VXD 3. Copy the patched version to %WINDIR%\SYSTEM\VMM32\ Uninstall: 1. If you saved %WINDIR%\SYSTEM\VMM32\VMM.VXD then restore it. 2. If you extracted VMM.VXD from the installation package then remove %WINDIR%\SYSTEM\VMM32\VMM.VXD If you will install any update (QFE) changing VMM.VXD you need to repeat the installation procedure! Problem description: Problem 1 in Windows (solved by this patch) ------------------------------------------- Examples - EXAMPLES\B460BIOS.TXT, B75_BIOS.TXT Due to a bug in VMM.VXD (early loop exit when processing BIOS Int 15h Fn E820h “Memory Map” function instead of skipping the corresponding line), the Resource Manager does not accept lines of memory ranges <4GiB that are located after a memory range >4GiB (EXAMPLES\B460BIOS.TXT): ... 0000000100000000 - 000000085F800000 : 000000075F800000 1 (Available), 29G 504M 000000009A000000 - 000000009F800000 : 0000000005800000 2 (Reserved), 88M ... However, this address range is really NOT free, and when a resource manager tries to use it (for example, when rebalancing device resources), a classic resource conflict occurs. When this problem was discovered in 2020, a workaround was written to sort return addresses in ascending order (EXAMPLES\B460SORT.TXT), so that the bug stops appearing. See the BURNMEM package. However, this solution is not ideal because it consumes DOS memory and it is necessary to be aware that the problem exists on a particular system and remember that it must be explicitly bypassed. This patch eliminates both the problem itself and the need to use additional software to bypass it. JFYI, information about occupied resources is usually returned as well by BIOS PnP or ACPI, so there might not be a problem, but on systems with these BIOSes BIOS PnP is usually not present at all, and ACPI does not work satisfactorily, so without them the only source of occupied memory is Int 15h Fn E820h "Memory Map". Problem 2 in BIOS ----------------- Examples - EXAMPLES\B75_BIOS.TXT, H77_BIOS.TXT, B460BIOS.TXT, P45_BIOS.TXT (and apparently most UEFI BIOSes in general). If you study the full list (it is convenient to do it on the sorted version, EXAMPLES\B460BIOS.TXT is taken as an example), you may note that there are skipped memory areas (RAM) both at the end of the range of RAM addresses <4GiB (Top Of Mem) and >4GiB (Top Of Mem 2): 000000009F800000 - 00000000A0000000 000000085F800000 - 0000000860000000 Probably these are areas used by Intel ME and SMM (in these examples). Addresses >4GiB are not a problem for Windows 9x, but an occupied, but skipped <4GiB address causes the problem already described above - resource conflict. Especially unpleasant is the fact that this address is just the lowest of the "free" and the probability of an attempt to use it by the system is maximum. This problem cannot be resolved automatically, but can be manually solved using the standard Windows 9x feature as Reserve Resources in Device Manager. JFYI, this bug really exists not only in Int 15h Fn E820h "Memory Map", but also in results of description of occupied resources in ACPI for example, so the bug is potentially subject to modern NT-like systems too. But the bug has much lower probability to appear there because of difference in behavior of resource managers of Windows 9x and Windows NT. The latter tries to use the initial (obtained at boot) resources of the device for as long as possible without conflict with other devices, even after the device is turned off and then turned on. Note that this problem exists not only in BIOS for B460, but also in BIOSes for P45, B75 and H77. I.e. this BIOS bug has not been fixed for decades!

I don't need it, I've already replaced them with empty files, I just posted about it informatively. https://github.com/e3kskoy7wqk/Firefox-for-windows-7 includes a working crashreporter, if anyone want a 100% complete browser (and actually with unnecessary additions).

Thanks again for sharing further, detailed information! And as this thread is about proxies, you are absolutely on-topic.

No. That is not the case. When closing the main window of ProxHTTPSProxy from my package ProxHTTPSProxy's PopMenu TLS 1.3 3V3, its entries are automatically removed from the system proxy settings. If not, you did something wrong. Close the main window of ProxHTTPSProxy and check the system proxy settings by "Open IE Proxy Settings" in the PopMenu!

@Anbima My final recommendation for you. Use in 360Chrome a proxy switcher extension like, for example, Proxy SwitchyOmega for a more convenient use of this proxy from inside this browser!

Exactly the opposite, simply letting certain URLs pass, can easily be realised. What you want is not actually the purpose of this proxy. If you only need the proxy for certain connections, only switch it on then and switch it off otherwise. It's as simple as that.

I got the same issue in New Moon 28 in the profile where my German Language Pack was installed. Eight obsolete entities have been removed, and one new (<!ENTITY aboutSupport.appBasicsCPUCaps "CPU Capabilities">) has been added. Therefore, all Language Packs have to be modified. I have just fixed my German Language Pack. The file which has to be compared to the English original one is aboutSupport.dtd located in chrome\en-US\locale\en-US\global\ and to be fixed in your Language Pack. Simply delete all experimental entities from line 28 to 35 and then add the new one to line 50! If you need help or more information, don't hesitate to ask.

If I may ask, what is this TestCrash427 supposed to be anyway? And what does it have to do with Mypal 68? In Google, there are no results for TestCrash427.

Ok. My first time. Confirmed. This video is definitely blocked until the age of the user has been verified. Greetings, AstroSkipper

YouTube videos in their native interface in New Moon 28 on low-performance computers in 2024 I made an experiment. Watching YouTube videos on their native interface in New Moon 28 in May 2024, all on my very weak hardware with Intel Pentium 4 single-core processor and only 1.5 GB SD-RAM. I reset my mod uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.35 and activated only some further default lists (Adguard Base, uBlock Annoyances, BPCF + script and my German locale filter lists). Additionally, I installed seven YouTube scripts from Greasyfork to get rid of crap and to style YouTube to my needs. I created one additional rule to cut off all comments when playing a single video. YouTube is completely free of ads. Videos are playing fine without any comments and playlists, isolated in single tabs in 360p quality. Always with autoplay off as I don't like such automatisms. Higher quality does not work well in browsers on my system. In any case, pure YouTube without any ads, ad blocker warnings or other crap. Perhaps, I should mention at this point that I normally never watch videos in browsers on my old Windows XP computer, but in an external player directly or downloaded beforehand. Then I am able to watch videos in 480p or sometimes even in 720p quality. Sometimes, however, I watch very rarely YouTube videos in New Moon 28 with the help of the great extension uTube. Here are two screenshots taken from YouTube in New Moon 28 when all configurations have been done: My new homepage of YouTube only for searching videos (Bye, bye unwanted videos ): And here is a tab when playing a single video: All is loaded relatively fast on my old machine. One of the installed scripts let me select the size of the player myself. Here it is set to the 480p size. Cheers, AstroSkipper

Thanks! I will test this flag.

Here is a brief report of my testing so far if someone is interested. Thorium can actually be installed on such an old computer under Windows XP. The browser starts up still quite bearable compared to other browsers on my system. However, as always with Chrome browsers on low-performance computers under Windows, the page loading behaviour is problematic. Although I have configured all conceivable flags to increase performance and selected the settings to suit my hardware, loading web pages takes considerably much longer than with New Moon, Serpent or Mypal. Of course, websites can be loaded that no longer function properly in the already mentioned browsers. Surprisingly, RAM consumption is not a problem, it is rather perfect although Thorium is running in multi-process mode. Interestingly, it seems that I have even found a solution for my installation that considerably speeds up the loading of web pages and therefore the browser start, too. It's not a new one, though. One doesn't have to reinvent the wheel, either. But first, this method must still be thoroughly tested.

True, but you can only directly configure Windows versions released in last 4 years or so to use DOH (eg. https://www.howtogeek.com/765940/how-to-enable-dns-over-https-on-windows-11/). Older ones require to use a sort of DNS proxy or special support from the browser side. In Windows XP, you can either directly insert the desired DNS service in the native network configuration window, or you do it more convenient with a very few clicks by using a third-party tool like, for example, ChrisPC DNS Switch. I use the Pro version which has more features and is more convenient.

Disable the flag #enable-webusb-device-detection!

I think you posted in the wrong thread. This is about @roytam1's browsers and not Supermium. There are no Chrome processes here, fortunately.

The filter list of version 3.6.3.2 still works on www.nytimes.com. Just tested. The last version Paywall Pass 0.0.3.1 does not work (anymore? I can't judge it ) on www.nytimes.com, unfortunately. Just tested. And TBH, this extension has not been updated since 2015. Any kind of such technology is subject to a game of cat and mouse. The one who is more up-to-date is ahead for a short time. But thanks for pointing to this extension anyway!

Thanks for clarification! And indeed the entries generated by the logger of your version were strange and led to a slight confusion for me.

Thanks for that! Such files are worth to backup and prevent them from disappearing.

That was totally clear to me and I didn't expect anything else. But the list can still be useful for a while.

Yeah, but it's minus 0.23% because I didn't buy anything from them this year, too.

That's because Maxwell has only partial/hybrid HEVC decode. And from what I tried, it fully works for 8bit HEVC only.

How much do you think would be a fair price for e-waste? GTX 680 is 12 years old, Titan is almost 12! Unfortunately electronic components degrade, capacitors dry out, etc. It's electronic waste now. The OP needs to check them carefully before buying, Lots of them could've been repaired several times to this date. P.S. And where you live, do they cost more?

For XP anything higher than Kepler makes no sense, Get something like GTX680, they are very cheap now. About 30 Euro. Or GTX780 for 50 Euro, Titan for 70.

I agree, but when one just points out to the facts, no MSFN rule against it, no rule that would forbid to name the official investors/owners. Like you wisely pointed out, we are the customers, and have the right to know who owns them. "Russia funded Facebook, Twitter investments through Kushner investor." "Institutions with close links to Kremlin": https://www.theguardian.com/news/2017/nov/05/russia-funded-facebook-twitter-investments-kushner-investor "Facebook is taking that rumored $200 million investment from Digital Sky Technologies, a Russian investment group... giving Facebook a $10 billion valuation." This one is from 2009, so $200 million/ $10 billion was a lot, lot more. https://techcrunch.com/2009/05/26/facebook-takes-that-200-million-investment-from-the-russians-at-a-10-billion-valuation/

It never worked good to begin with, even with Win10, I don't know about you, I'm not gonna cry about that buggy game, sorry.
