All right, available now! https://blog.interlinked.us/66/when-the-world-wide-web-goes-on-strike-how-do-you-fight-back https://github.com/InterLinked1/chromefill Hands are a bit tied at the moment, but might try to see what will work for New Moon as well.. for now, this unbreaks enough sites on Iron 70 that it's usable enough again.

Notice: so upstream released new version yesterday, and tracking is completed. hopefully new UXP based build will be available in this weekend.

As some folks are aware, back in Q4 of 2021, there was a massive breakage of many browsers due to some JavaScript changes that took place around then which rendered browsers that weren't the latest version of Chromium or Firefox useless on many sites. I myself have been struggling with this for some time; Iron 70 no longer works on many things and New Moon is almost the same way. Some things don't work in either, or one or the other. I eventually realized that as it was just JavaScript code on these sites that had been changed (in many cases, in libraries not directly part of the site, probably why this sprang up everywhere all in a short period of time), and that if that was the case, maybe there was a way to restore compatibility... I played around for a while this week, and at last, I have made some satisfying progress. StackOverflow and other StackExchange sites, which have been basically 70% broken (minimal functionality mode) for weeks now, finally work 100% again in Iron 70! All it took was minimal polyfill injecting before page load using a simple extension that I set up to do the trick. It looks like many of the other errors I'm seeing are caused by one other popular error. I'm going to see if that can be polyfilled in a similar way too. Right now, I'm tentatively calling it "Old Chrome Compatability"... couldn't really come up with any clever names, but that's basically the idea. Plan is to hopefully add that other thing and then open source it this week so that anybody can add it and use it. Granted, Chromium is probably less popular here than UXP browsers, maybe rightly so. Gets me to thinking, now that I know this concept works, maybe we can rig together a similar extension for Pale/New Moon. It might even be simpler there, the way it's set up. The polyfills needed for one won't necessarily apply to the other, but there'll probably be a fair bit of crossover. Any thoughts? Anyways, these id*** had their fun messing up their JavaScript to break all our stuff, but I'm taking my JavaScript back now... take that, Google...

I’ve decided to create this thread, since the amount of half working programs have became kinda crazy. Handbrake - 1.3 is the latest officially supported version. At this time the newest version work just fine, but it is no longer supported. Beamng.Drive and Rocket League - Both give "App stopped working" When you properly exit them. They function just fine, but this weird message comes up every time. Geforce experience - While you can install and open the newest 1.24 geforce experience, it no longer screen captures and many other functions stops working. 1.23 is the latest one that still work normally. VMware workstation Pro - The newest 16.2.1 version of this still functions on 8.1, but 3D acceleration has been turned off for some reason. 16.1.2 is the latest one that still functions as intended. Logitech GHUB - The latest version works if you update it through vista compatibility setting. For some users a warning saying that the driver is not digitally signed pops up, but everything still works. iTunes - See my topic on this. Onedrive - Microsoft claims that it will stop working on 1st of january 2022 Office 2019 - Somewhere on msfn I’ve seen people claiming that it can be installed. I use office 365 and it still updates to their newest version just fine. Ryzen CPUs - They work just fine. Don’t forget to manually install missing pci drivers from amd folder and usb 3.1 root hub. Use AMD’s windows 10 driver version 2.17.25.506 RTX 3000 - Unfortunately no known workaround has been found RX 6000 by amd - They seem to work. Sometimes you get weird colors on unity games. Please contribute to this list. Cheers

This thread is now locked. These types of arguments will never be resolved, and MSFN isn't the place for them, even in this section.

As @NotHereToPlayGames said, there's no way for us to answer that question for you, but here are the key differences: New Moon 28, Serpent 52, and IceApe all use the same underlying platform: UXP. The main difference is the user interface. If you've been using Firefox 52.9, Serpent will look the most similar. Serpent also supports a few features not in the others, such as "Web Extension" add-ons and a multiprocess mode. Since you have lots of RAM you may find multiprocess mode helpful. If you've been using SeaMonkey 2.49, IceApe will look the most similar. Like SeaMonkey, IceApe is actually a suite that includes both a Web browser (IceWeasel) and a mail/news reader (IceDove), so if you download IceApe, you don't need to download IceDove. New Moon 28 (and 27) have a user interface from an older version of Firefox that you may prefer. Arctic Fox, New Moon 27 and K-Meleon use an older underlying platform. The main advantage is, these browsers take less RAM/CPU, but it looks like you have plenty, so you'll probably be happier with one of the UXP browsers above. Finally, there's Serpent 55, derived from an alpha version of Firefox 53. It looks very similar to Serpent 52, supports more/newer "Web Extension" add-ons, but is less compatible with some modern Web sites. You might consider it if you need a specific add-on that requires Firefox 53.

Has anyone managed to get an AV package working with the new version installed? Panda and Avast are not happy

I was always told that NT4 was exceptionally tough. I'm not even sure if the approaches we use for 2000 and Vista are applicable here. I used wrappers written in C for NT4 over kernel32. But that is a very touchy subject because of the potential sources of "inspiration" for the wrapper code.

Wishing you ALL a happy New Year, may 2022 be our best year!

I hope you feel better soon. Did you read about Biotin in my posting? Why not try to find foods that could help your eyes. Remember when I said green tea ... please don't forget also and sip slowly to heal. Also tea bags under the eyes can help sooth, but won't fix health issues; of course. I also have eye trouble and now wear special glasses to correct double vision, but I don't nee them around the house as I've just gotten so used to it. I hope you all find way to enjoy this new years eve. My party days are over and I'm sober and in bed by 10 so I'm no fun anymore ... haha! Oh the memories of being in New York in the 90's ... OMG am I getting old. Some weekends I close down the joint and hardly no sleep. Those were the days - those were the days. The world has changed so much now and things aren't the way they used to be by any stretch, so I'm glad I'm not young trying to grow up in this 'new world'. I'm happy with my plants and fake fish on my end table. This new change was hard for people and I understand that. For me, that change was different, in that, I'm a hermit and a loner and have developed social phobia pretty bad over the years and people now are simply unapproachable. I'm quite social online, but very very shy in real life. Anyways... Nuff bout me. See you next year. Take good care MSFN and this forum rocks :)

Roses are red, your glasses are blue ... I don't sleep at night 'cause I'm thinking of you'.

Clean Flash Installer version 34.0.0.211 is now available at https://gitlab.com/cleanflash/installer/-/releases/. Confirmed working on Windows XP. Don't forget you need JustOff's GitHub-wc-polyfill add-on installed to access GitLab from a UXP browser; also Serpent 52 must be in single-process mode. 360EE should work without issue.

Well, if you ask me to launch a nice topic about the good things in life, here is one... It's true, that we live in dark times for humanity as a whole, but then to detoxify from all this - we'll talk only about good things in life, if you want... All subjects are welcome here, as long as they will talk about pretty and nice side of life... about hope for better times, about interesting things for people eager to learn, with beautiful photos and videos, with mood and smiles.... in freedom. So be warned that ugliness and sadness has no place here. Your preferences will be mine. First of all I would like to ask you to suggest me the pretty title of this topic... Does "Pretty Detox Posts" sound good to you?...Whoever has a better idea, please present it here, pretty please. THANK YOU! I would like to start, to make it easier for me (it's already late here...), with a nice link to bored panda website - today with the theme "50 People Having A Pretty Miserable Day (New Pics)" - 50 People Having A Pretty Miserable Day (New Pics): https://www.boredpanda.com/bad-day-accidents-fails/ - my favorite is this one: #4 For A Month, I Thought I Lost My Wedding Ring On A Cross Country Road Trip.

Probably, never looked into it. The author of the program presumably put it there because bad actors apparently love trying to use his program as the vessel for bad stuff. Yup, it's not saved anywhere. I may take a look next weekend.

As you can see in my screenshot, I use ηMatrix in combination with uBlock-for-firefox-legacy. ηMatrix has some learning curve however, but has more fine-grained control than NoScript. (offtopic) Thanks for your Ffmpeg builds for XP!

ah yeah that is Palememe drama where Tobin decided to block Noscript for some personal reason. Noscript is fine. Reason it "breaks sites" is because it block JavaScript by default. Absolutely ridiculous reason to hard block it. Overall addon blocking is stupid idea, you give someone else control over what addons are ok and what are not. Go to settings>security and set addon security off. I wonder why@roytam1 left it on build since it keep pinging palememe servers. Could it be removed on future builds?

I recently got the latest version of Python 3.6, Python 3.6.15 working on Windows XP SP3. Since Python 3.4 is the latest official version for XP, this allows the use of many more Python programs like YouTube-DLP. You can get WinXP_Python-3.6.15 on my website.

You certainly would have gotten a warning for 7a had this post got reported. This isn't a free-for-all section, we will have no issue with shutting this thread if things get too carried away.

Reminds me of a story from my college days. One of my best friends' parents had a lake cottage we would have lake parties at during the summer. We're all sitting around and one of the guys starts screaming like a little girl and wailing his arms about trying to scare away a couple of bees. We all tell him to STOP wailing his arms about because that will do nothing but rile them up and CAUSE him to get stung. He continues crying like a little girl and wailing his arms until the bees fly away. We're making fun of him for crying like a little girl and he's just making excuse after excuse of him being "allergic" to bees. We keep telling him that is all the MORE REASON to SIT STILL and not to RILE THEM UP. A half an hour or so passes and I go to pick up my can of soda and drink from it. I dang near swallow three bees and I calmly spit out my soda and all three bees along with it. The little girl starts touting "I told you so's" and claiming he made his point, that we should be careful when bees are around because I almost just swallowed three of them. I turn to him, No, you're missing the bigger picture, I just made my point, I was calm and didn't start jumping up and down and wailing about, and guess what, I DIDN'T GET STUNG!

There shouldn't be any SSE or even IA32 builds for Win64 as all x64 CPUs since the first Athlon 64 support SSE2 or even higher. Remind: SSE2 support by Intel AND AMD CPUs is available since 2003, all x86_64 CPUs have it! kind regards soggi

I think the task is very difficult, even junior600 I cannot communicate with him, he has not opened his account for a year or more. I will ask BWC when I am free and have time to work on this project. Thank you any way.

OT: ...This isn't probably the right place to post this, but since I am/was most active in these threads, here comes my bad news: My cherished Toshiba laptop from 2009, that came with Vista OEM 32-bit originally, has died on me a little more than two hours ago... No previous signs of an impending doom, I was merely browsing (in 360EEv11) when the screen just started flickering on a frozen frame, just out of the blue, and I had to disconnect power to forcibly shut it down... After I put the power back in, the laptop simply won't start anymore, the screen remains permanently black, I can feel some disk activity by touching the laptop, but just that... Sadly, I'm completely clueless when it comes to H/W, can be anything from a dead integrated GPU, a dead CPU or something else (the HDD was in good condition, AFAIAA, replaced last in 2017... Of importance to me is 12 year-worth e-mails contained in Windows Mail, and a ton of other valuable things contained in the internal HDD (I don't have recent back-ups of...) This is me posting from sister's Win7 x64 laptop, via a portable Serpent 52 profile I carry on an external HDD... To add insult to injury, I painfully discovered that "portable" 360EE profiles do not carry with them saved cookies/account credentials for sites, unlike Mozilla browsers... Needless to say I feel very distressed now, this is still the Holidays period during an omicron exponential surge, PC repair shops are mostly closed/half-working... I'll probably have the laptop evaluated by a technician during the coming days, I don't hold high hopes for it to be brought back to life (and at what cost?), all I can hope for is that the HDD is OK and salvageable... This was just a "to let you know" post, 2022 apparently only brought havoc to me thus far... Yes, cr*p like this happens, but now that it has, I'm a total wreck inside... I wish all the best to you, despite...

I also had to ditch several Firefox extensions that I was accustomed to. I've never really been a fan of Chromium until 360Chrome came along.

I've been seeing this Wayback problem for at least 4 years now. It seems to affect many (most/all?) MS KB pages that were crawled from 2016 onward. I never had much luck with this method, since for me the page load takes several seconds after clicking Stop to take effect. So I must stop it before the page is shown and it was very hard to get the timing right on something I can't see yet and am not sure exactly how long it will take on any given attempt. What I did notice is that over the years MS has changed the format of URLs for their KB pages, and usually the older version of the URLs was from a time before this wayback problem. So fortunately for this particular update there is actually an older crawl with the different format of URL that works, even from SeaMonkey 2.49.2 on XP: http://web.archive.org/web/20150602151315/https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/898461 (notice the /en-us/kb/ part, these are usually the better formatted crawls) Sadly for other updates there isn't always an older crawl that will work, and sometimes I am stuck with having to view page source and poke through the HTML tags to find the unformatted content (which is generally still present although not rendered correctly/at all).

It has been done. The delay functionality is working. Works on Vista and 7 (and probably 8, 8.1 as well). This Snipping Tool is from Windows 10 1507 (the RTM release). The SHA-256 hash of the original SnippingTool.EXE is "fccf231e0e4437baba86f64752e13562c9a2aa2d699a8dae7fafc85b48da4aa8" Porting requires 2 hex edits: one to change the NT version from 10.0 to 6.0 in order to trick Windows into running it, and the second to bypass some licensing/permission check that Microsoft put in. Dunno if it's fine to distribute the .EXE here (probably not), hence why I only include instructions. These instructions ONLY WORK FOR x64 Snipping Tool. If there is a big demand I can also work out how to do it for the 32-bit Snipping Tool as well. 1. Obtain Windows 10 1507 RTM x64 ISO, open with 7-Zip, then open sources\install.wim with 7-zip 2. Go to Windows\system32 and drag SnippingTool.exe to desktop (or some other location) 3. Next to SnippingTool.exe, make a folder called "en-US" (or whatever your language code) 4. From your 7-zip window, go to Windows\system32\en-US (or whatever your language code) and drag SnippingTool.exe.mui into the "en-US" folder you made in step 3 5. Open SnippingTool.exe in HxD or some other hex editor 6. At offset 0x120, change "0A 00 00 00 0A 00 00 00 0A 00 00 00" to "06 00 00 00 06 00 00 00 06 00 00 00" 7. At offset 0x1D19C, change "40 55 41 54 41 55" to "B8 01 00 00 00 C3" 8. Save file and exit hex editor At this point, you can simply open the edited SnippingTool.exe and get the Windows 10 snipping tool as pictured. You may also replace the Windows Vista/7 stock snipping tool with this one if you desire. For reference, the SHA-256 hash of the modified SnippingTool.exe is supposed to be "63512a76fca158eaa48e5f3c9edbe5cec37578d992ec4b0525205b1d5df279df" "It runs but only displays an error box with no text!" This is caused by incorrect MUI file, or incorrect placement of the MUI file. As in picture, en-US folder should be next to SnippingTool.exe, and SnippingTool.exe.mui should be inside that folder. And keep in mind, everywhere I say "en-US", this means the language code used by your system. For example, ja-JP or fr-FR for Japanese and French respectively.

Happy New Year 2022 to you too, @Skorpios! And to you ALL members, to our Patron @bphlpt, Super Moderator @Dave-H, Supervisor @Tripredacus, All MSFN Team! Let's celebrate with cider and champagne!

@Dave-H Do you happen to use a proxy for HTTPS? If so, add its certificate to your new browsers. Or change the browser proxy setting to "no proxy" instead of auto/system proxy.

Happy new year to you and D.Draker too, and I hope also it becomes the best year!

Happy New Year and all wishes to come true ! See ya in 2022 !

True. Old stuff does not mean it is bad. And old stuff can still be very useful. In particular, windows xp is STILL a relatively lightweight and an useful OS.

As you may know, it’s not possible to install .Net Framework 3.0sp2 and .Net Framework 3.5 on Windows XP offline in a conventional way. That’s because Microsoft has never released .Net 3.0sp2 offline installer (despite releasing them for .Net 2.0sp2, 3.0 with no service packs and 3.5) while .Net 3.5 offline installer requires some 3.0sp2 components to be installed first. There is no need to download anything, because while .Net 3.5 installer asks for downloading .Net3 files, in fact it has all the resources already available in it. Thanks to @abbodi1406 for pointing this. To install .Net framework completely offline: 1. Before proceeding you may (or may not) have to install Windows XP service pack 2, Windows Imaging Component and Windows Installer 4.5 KB942288-v4. (I had them already installed) 2. Install earlier versions of .Net Framework like .Net 2.0 sp2 (offline installers are available). 4. Extract .Net framework 3.5 installer using 7-zip or similar program the widely available offline setup. It shouldn’t ask for internet connection now. 3. Install everything from dotNetFX20 and dotNetFX30 folders. 4. Install .Net framework 3.5 using main installer. It shouldn’t ask for internet connection now. 5. You can test some .Net 3 programs. For example Microsoft Mathematics 4.0 which is a .Net 3.5 application.

Thank you so much for this tutorial, TSNH. It's very useful to me.

This thread is a little bit confusing especially for people looking for help. So I have made a little guide with all tips and steps which have to be performed and are working for me. Of course at your own risk without any guarantee! And just to clarify: I am not the author or contributor of these patches and tools. I am a user and have examined my problems while restoring MU. This little guide is the result of my examinations to help other users. Of course I did some modifications due to the fact that some patches don't work properly or something is missing. If you want improvements of these tools and patches please contact the authors! Complete guide for restoring Microsoft Update in IE - Check BIOS and Windows date and time incl. correct time zone. Perform a time sync! - If you have used "WSUS server" in combination with "WUMT" in the past remove it completely by "Remove_wsus.cmd". This batch file does not work properly, so you have to remove this registry key manually: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate. You can let "Remove_wsus.cmd" perform this by adding following line (without quotes): "reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate" /f". Start Automatic Update service. In system panel Automatic Update may not be shown greyed out. - Configure Internet Explorer. Internet Zone to standard, Trusted Zone to high with only these three urls related to MU: http://www.update.microsoft.com, https://www.update.microsoft.com and http://update.microsoft.com. Disable in IE settings "Check for server certificate revocation". - Install these four updates KB4467770, KB4019276, KB4493435, KB94228-V3. - Apply if necessary "PosReady.reg". - Apply "Tls 1.2.reg". - Execute "rootsupd.exe". - Install "Restore_WU_XP_2003". Here you have to check if "install.cmd" did its job properly i.e. all commands in "install.cmd" have to be performed properly. Check the correct version of "wuaueng.dll" in both folder system32 and system32\dllcache. Check if all registry entries have been added. - Install "ProxHTTPSProxy". Here you have to edit the config file "config.ini". Under section [SSL No-Verify] I added fe2.update.microsoft.com and deleted update.microsoft.com under sections [SSL Pass-Thru] and [BYPASS URL]. This is working for me. - Use "CAupdater" or "Certificate Updater 1.6" to update your root certificates. - If on MU web page error codes appear rename the windows folder "SoftwareDistribution" to "SoftwareDistribution.old" and let MU generate a fresh one. Maybe you have to disable a "HTTPS scanning" feature of your security software temporarily or make exclusions for MU related sites. - Do not use the same "DataStore.edb" in "SoftwareDistribution" for WSUS server/WUMT and MU web version. I have two DataStore.edb files, one for WSUS server and one for MU. One for all doesn't work in my system. - Use only http-links to open MU in IE. Direct link is http://fe2.update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en (English version). - MU is only working if ProxHTTPSProxy is enabled. I did all these steps and for me MU is working flawlessly. For testing I attach my working config.ini of ProxHTTPSProxy. For detailed instructions and files perform a search in this thread and enjoy the screenshots we all have uploaded! Greetings from Germany config.ini

@to all I would like to give some advice to all MSFN members regarding trackers. I would advise you to put a list in UBO dedicated for blocking CNAME trackers: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AdguardTeam/cname-trackers/master/combined_disguised_trackers.txt Which unfortunately are not stopped even by the latest versions of browsers. https://github.com/AdguardTeam/cname-trackers

Hi .. I was under the impression that most proxies are compromised, but not sure. The only 1 I still (sort of) trust is https://kproxy.com/ Hope we can find some good ones left.

Good news : you won't die . Just rest more and eat LESS salt . Exersize (not heavily) to create blood flow . It's your NECK !! Bad blood flow . High pressure . Need to relax .

Jeez ! Get well soon! I try to avoid them . I had dark spots for years though . They aren't black per se . They are just dark. Why do you think it's because of the lamp ? Perhaps it's your monitor ?

Jeez , they won't let me in . "Security" freaks.

you can just download the newest firefox installer and right click on it then on extract (winrar or 7zip is required)

Your welcome. I also like to keep my old stuff (even if it is not functional anymore), it is kind of sad to me that some people just trash away stuff because it is old. A while ago, a friend I have, threw away a PC just because it had XP on it (a black hole just grew in my stomach when I received the message ). Also, I sent you a PM regarding your printer with a possible solution.
