I remember Pegasus was used at my mother's office more than 20 years ago. It goes back a long time. 50 MB is a bit much for an e-mail client if it installs all the crap. I don't get the role of a "web server" for OAuth. Most people won't have a white IP to host a server. I was pleasantly surprised how quickly Help popped up in the installer on my older computer. Recently my ISP stopped their e-mail service and transferred all customers to a free web-based provider. I can still log in without encryption, but it has some limits attached to it like needing to log in every so often to not lose the account. I guess an ISP today will have difficulty keeping up with demands for "security" and user interfaces understandable to millennials.

One more thing I forgot. Get a disk with spare capacity. Then you can write more to it before it slows down. If you think you will ever fill your disk to 200 GB, buy 512 GB. Basic SSDs are now affordable.

You can probably do with any SSD as a replacement for HDD. A stealthy problem with SSDs is that they slow down if too much data is written to it. This happens because they initially write it in a fast mode that use up more memory cells, and then reorganize it later. But in a typical usage scenario, where you write games to the disk once and then load them many times, you are only concerned about the read performance. It is probably not a good idea to write virtual memory like the Windows swap file or Photoshop scratch disk to an SSD, but get more RAM instead.

The ovw_winpmail.htm page is seriously out of date. It claims that the program runs on Win98 and uses only 10 MB of disk space. The installer unpacked into the temp directory is over 50 MB. The legacy version 4.51 is nowhere to be found. Why have we let Google get away with locking down e-mail and adding so much bloat to it? All the forums and commercial websites rely on e-mail to enable accounts. If e-mail can't arrive, we will get locked out of those. Google has OAuth today, but as the author of Pegasus writes, they already changed it to require new software. Next year they will have something else. I like that Pegasus still has its own basic HTML engine that opens fast. Everything else today bundles a web browser.

The linked version on dropboxusercontent works for me and is fast again. I have YouTube-DL integrated into New Moon, which I use from both WinXP and Win2008, so I like that it works in both.

Do you know why YT-DLP does not run on Windows NT6, but runs on WinXP? YouTube-DL works on both and is better to use in dual-boot. The procedure entry point GetCPFileNameFromRegistry could not be located in the dynamic link library kernel32.dll.

Thank you. Looks like they need to update youtube-DL because it works slowly again. "Unable to decode n-parameter"

Some months I go I stumbled upon a link to compiles of YouTube-DL and Yt-dlp working on WinXP in someone's signature. But I cannot find it again. It doesn't seem to be possible to search for the contents of signatures. Who has them?

If the USB stick is new of the USB3 generation and the motherboard is old, there could be an incompatibility because at some stage it wants an USB 1 speed, which the USB3 device might not support.

The old DOS soundcard emulation on Windows XP is not good for gaming. You should use either DosBox or a Windows port of Doom, such az ZDoom or GzDoom (old version).

You can reduce the workload for the hard drive by avoiding processes that write small fragmented pieces of data to it. Get more RAM and don't use the swap file. Download in one or a few continuous streams. Keep temp files on a separate partion and wipe it out occasionally. It's rare that you would practically run into the limit of the drive's linear speed.

A linear sector by sector copy should be the way to go because it is much faster, unless you want to defragment in the process. One reason why I wanted to mount both disks was to use the OS tools to allocate the remaining free space before booting into the cloned system.

No, you don't want to rename the SYSTEM key. It holds a lot of settings besides drive letters. You would have to open the value for C: and put the new disk identifier and volume start in it, which can be copied from a system where Windows has seen the new disk already. If you clone both disks to have the same identifier (stored in disk sector 0 at 01B8h), and mount them in Windows at the same time, the system will correct one of them to be different. I think that Windows NT 6 holds the identifier in the BCD data inside the boot menuu. Instead of referring to "disk 0" or "C" it uses the number. For less pain, and avoiding the need to edit the BCD, you should keep the identifier the same and partition start the same. Allocate any extra space to a data partition. The OS doesn't need 128 gigs. You can set it more easily with a BootICE's hex editor than edit the registry. Edits with other programs may not stick.

In Roytam's Serpent you can activate the multi-process mode. Then it can divide the memory among multiple processes on a 32-bit PAE platform, where each one doesn't approach the limit. Plus you get some increase of stability and responsiveness.

I have never heard of it. The problem has already been solved. It was caused by letting Windows mount both disks at the same time, and change the identifier on the new disk. It would have happened regardless how the disk was initially copied.

Try upgrading to Server 2003 to see all available RAM. But if it doesn't work, you do need to provide the /MAXMEM switch in boot.ini to limit available memory again. It will likely work with drivers of common onboard devices, but not work with a Creative Labs sound card, and other rare or old expansion boards.

Now Serpent and New Moon are going under the same directory. If you have 4 versions and only two names, you can't fit everything. Doesn't the randon number subdirectory underneath wary? (NM28: 4kpw3dp8.default, Basilisk: c6fz7ylx.default)

For WinNTSetup you need to boot into a Windows system (mini-xp or similar) to use it. The author hasn't included essential exe files by Microsoft, and the "ADK" download that was called up by older versions compatible with WinXP is no longer available. I'm almost certain you cannot use the latest version, but have to use either 3.8.6 or 4.2.5 with the ADK files forbidden to be shared by the copyright police. I like to use WinNTSetup and rely on bootable Windows that already exists, or secondary OS on the disk.

Are these moebius regex, property escapes things included in new releases of New Moon, or do I need something else?

Good Old Games also patch their titles to fix problems with new systems by including new libraries that depend on NT6 functions. They have their own steam callad Galaxy.

There are two possible cores GF108 and GK208. F is old and K is new. Another thing that can go wrong when buying. 730 has 384 cuda cores vs 192, but the same number of render outputs. I think both 710/730 would run into the same resolution limits that max out the ROPs, but 730 would have more compute performance for pixel shader and general processing. I think if if it has "GD" in the model name visible, it should be the new core and with the better memory. The next small card is GT 1030, but it no longer has an XP driver or VGA output.

I have custom resolutions working with the last ICafe driver. But I've only tried small screen sizes, and have no means to test extreme resolutions. The last "small" form factor card for XP is GT 730. But the cooling might be insufficient in this chassis if you decide to launch games in summer. On the big markets like ebay or aliexpress they want unreasonable money for it. Only reasonable choice is a local trading board.

The issue with UEFI BIOS prevents the computer from booting entirely. It occurs on some brandname computers of the Sandy Bridge era. If the PC boots and you get a picture, then you are good. The GT 710 has DDR3 memory with a relatively low bandwidth. This really sucks, because if you go on used market, you will generally not find GDDR5 or the memory type won't be indicated by the seller. Your screenshot show that the card uses 8x PCIe but version 1.1, which is fine because the bandwidth only matters when uploading data to the GPU during loading screens or using video playback at extreme resolutions with copy-back (CUVID in MPC-HC). The volume of models and textures is relatively small. GPU-Z has a monitor for the link utilization.

To speed up YouTube, it would be handy to redirect the /watch?v= url over to /embed/ with 2 menu items to access both when you need to browse or comment and see a single link. The opening time is reduced dramatically and there is less contunuous CPU usage. It seems ot also not show as many advertisements. With normal video codecs, most of the CPU is spent drawing the page in New Moon.

You can't put the switch as the first device because you only get one IP address, and the router's job is to unify the computers behind it through it. The switch could act as a repeater between the modem and the router, but you can't plug anything into its other ports. You could extend the network cable and place the router elsewhere in the house or get another router to serve as an access point (the softwre configuration is a bit complicated with this).
