On XP only GDI rendering is working. I will try to use DirectWrite. 139 on vanilla Vista SP2 works, but if you run without existing profile, it has some function missing in shell32.dll. Edit: DirectWrite from Supermium working! I can't get working hardware acceleration, even with disabled blacklist and D3D9... All api-ms-win-crt, p_advp32.dll, pwp_shd.dll, p_ole.dll, pwrp_k32.dll, ucrtbase.dll - that's the files needed for working dwrite.dll from Supermium.

@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.

No new Easter egg from me! Either I've been just a bit too careless while writing and correcting or it is due to a kind of senility! Thanks for reporting again! I'll correct that immediately, of course! No, the fixed version of cacert Updater can be downloaded from first post in my thread in section Downloads: The changes are minor indeed and can be done simply by applying cacert Updater Fixed. BTW the AIO package has been created by @Windows7fan from MDL. Therefore maintaining of it isn't my job. And I totally agree, if actions are performed manually, users get full control because one knows what has been done and what has to be performed next. Very important if verifying of each step is necessary.

That would be great! In the case of publishing I will mention you for html creation, of course. I have a lot of respect for people doing things manually especially using programming languages like HTML4 and CSS. Once again, my honest respect! Nowadays I am more a batch programmer, more often a person modifying and fixing files, although I did more smaller projects in the past when I was much younger. Especially mathematical ones. But for now, kindest regards, AstroSkipper

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 for your point of view! English isn't my native language too, I am German. But I try to do my best in writing. And truth to be told there is an option called "Google Translator", therefore bad language skills are no acceptable reason to write in poor English strings. Or isn't it?

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.
