    It seems to work. I see several processes of Basilisk running. Further testing is needed to determine if there are disadvantages. The browser may now stay below the memory limit, which is very good with 32-bit PAE. A responsive interface shouldn't necessarily require multiple processes though.

    Wish you a recovery from the government facility. My New Moon 28 is now about a year old. Has there been any significant new functionality added to the browser since then? Could it theoretically be possible to improve the responsiveness of the browser on full cpu load while a big site is loading? For example, process the close button and tab switching in a "separate thread," so that the offending site can be closed,

    Nothing terrible will happen immediately. The last Chrome version will continue to work for a year or two. RoyTam will make a new/old Firefox to replace it. Watching commercial videos in a stuttering web browser and paying hard-earned € for it isn't a good idea in any case. I'd rather install Win10 LTSB than an "extended kernel" if it is anything like BWC or OneCore with dozens of system files.

    Sorry four the double post. I added 16 gigs of RAM to my other computer for a 20 in total. It works well without an E-MU/Creative Sound Card. Maybe components that come on motherboards are better tested because they may get installed in a "server" environment. I have nVidia, Realtek NIC, Realtek sound, Intel Ahci. Even a crash of CPU-Z doesn't happen anymore. None of task managers, etc. crash, Daemon Tools works, Yamaha SYXG works. This ram is really difficult to fill up intentionally. All programs restore up, including games, no complaints from the OS at 19 GB used. No swap file.

    The ordinal in this case is a missing function of program code. You can see them in Dependency Walker. It has nothing to do with icons. I would either use WinSeven as it is if you like the revamped UI of Explorer, or another file manager of choice that works on any OS.

    Having played around with a 5GB Gavotte ramdisk for over about a year, I don't think it is a substitute for more RAM. It is not all that fast according to copy benchmarks. If I put a swap file on it, Windows likes to swap big programs out to it every time they are minimized. So I need to reserve 2x the ram for them. If I also put a temp directory on this disk, sometimes there is a deadlock condition where the computer pauses for a few seconds waiting on the ram disk. There aren't that many programs worth using that have compatibility issues with Server specifically. I've only encountered Photoshop CS3, which could be fixed. How would you go about fixing PAE "per driver"? That requires intimate knowledge of machine code, right, and ability to locate it inside giant drivers?

    NexusFont seems to be able to load fonts where older programs like FontLister do not. A new version of Windows keeps surprising even after you've dealt with the immediately obvious like the appearance of the start menu etc. Do you know why the Group By selector in Charmap is empty? It should show ranges like scripts and punctuation symbols. Adobe fonts show all the empty positions, and it is sometimes necessary to jump to where the required characters are. I tried running the program from NT5, but it uses something from the system and is also empty. https://i.imgur.com/936twS6.png

    j7n replied to we3fan's topic in Windows XP

    You can look at HxD. It has made some efforts in Unicode support and has a built-in converter in the Data Inspector. Type in the WideChar / 16 box to get normal Unicode, or in the UTF-8 box for web/linux Unicode. Why did Microsoft decide to translate days of the week and months into local languages out everything else?

    How come it is no longer possible to temporarily load fonts by opening them in the built-in FontView viewer on Windows NT6.1 64-bit? Doing that on Windows XP used to make them available for all applications, and they were unloaded after FontView closed if no other programs were still using them. This was handy for decorative fonts for a single project. But under Win2008 R2 the font viewer is different. Moreover, I had to reboot the computer to enable a newly installed font in all applications. It would show up in Character Map's grid, but not the textbox.

    Nvidia GTX 750 Ti (Maxwell GM107) is confirmed working without any issues. It also works under Win2003, but at a cost of some non-PAE memory, which has been reduced to 2.75 GB. The speed is crazy, but not inexhaustible by XP-era games. Despite two fans, it is quet and cooler than GT 610 it replaced. I got it almost new for €50. GT 730s are going for more money. It seems that the BIOS issue affects mainly brandname Dell/HP computers. What I have is late Pentium 4 period motherboard. https://forums.evga.com/GT-740-upgrade-can39t-get-past-BIOS-splash-screen-m2565968.aspx

    Games usually want the lowest CD drive letter than you can a change in Disk Management. Maybe you can exchange the 2 CD drives Master/Slave jumpers. The original Yamaha audio driver had mixer faders for all the inputs on the card (video in, aux in, cd in) and it doesn't matter which one to use. Maybe the XP driver was more limited, I don't remember. The simpler option under XP for games is to install Daemon Tools 3.47, enable analogue audio (internal playback) and mount a cue sheet with ripped wav files and a dummy data track 1.

    The Assets show me an eternal spinner too. You can click View Source, search for "Assets" and then load the snippet from <include-fragment>. Most times big corporations justify new web formats as improving performance. And yet websites are getting dramatically slower overall. Can you explain in a couple sentences what a "polyfill" is?

    I've read conflicting reports about the compatibility of nVidia Kepler video adapters with older motherboards. Some say they require a UEFI bios, others say they still function. I am looking to upgrade an Intel G965 based Gigabyte board with classic looking Award Bios 6.0 with a new graphics card, most likely GT730. What old motherboards have you seen working with Nvidia 710,730,750 GPUs? There is slight confusion because the lower end models also exist as mislabeled Fermi GPUs, which should work, but have lower performance obviously.

    I have of course seen and cleared this checkbox. It affect,s for example, the list in Font browser, but doesn't affect lists like the file browser or the main view of Process Explorer.

    Is it possible to disable smooth scrolling in listboxes under Windows NT 6.1? For example, the file list of WinRAR or 7-Zip. Scroll it horizontally, and it takes about a second to move to the new position. Previously I think I used TweakUI on Windows XP, but I can't do that under new Windows. I have another question about the Charmap utility. For me, the "Group by" list is empty. It should contain the symbol categories.

    Judging by the interface, why do you have Windows 8 installed on a 2001 computer? The browser builds topic has been moved because RoyTam's browsers can be used on other operating systems too. https://msfn.org/board/topic/182647-my-browser-builds-part-3/

    Thank you for the recommendation. This is a deep program with a learning curve, and will prove useful. Starts reasonably fast. It can do it what I wanted if not in the most convenient fashion by calling a function. ieee754_single_decode(0x44A72447)

    Does anybody know a small program for basic old Windows without any Frameworks, which can convert between data types such as floating-point and hexadecimal, similar to how the Data Interpreter panel in HxD works? It should probably have more useful functionality. I don't know the keywords for finding this kind of tool on the web. I stumbled upon some webpages that offer conversion functionality in the browser, but it is very inefficient to open the browser for this and to rely on a website to be reachable.

    Odyssey works now in New Moon 28. But it showed a white page earlier this morning. Serpent shows an error page "Aw Shucks! Try refreshing the app to fix it."

    For the time being ImgUr works if I am logged in. It is a conspiracy by the whole industry to keep us on the update cycle and buy new computers, and load them with Google spyware.

    Can you send me the modified PMPlayer XPI? I don't really care about the content of BitChute in general. Just happened to receive a link to one particular video. I was hoping that the solution would increase compatibility with multiple websites, which this PMPlayer module seems to offer. I doubt that microwaves can affect the human body at the level that they don't burn out fragile electronics specifically tuned for those wavelengths. Perhaps if you have metal implants. But controversial technology unrelated to web browsing is offtopic in this thread.

    This website causes the browser to allocate huge amount of memory. When it reaches about 1.5 GB, New Moon 28 crashes, Serpent starts to release memory, then allocates it again. The website does not become usable. It shouldn't be possible for an application to to crash the system to a BSOD. Maybe you have some faulty configuration in the OS that manifests when too much RAM is used.

    You should install a newer free and easily configurable web server in any case. All games have their own server, so the OS is mostly irrelevant. Server 2003 is basically the same as Windows XP, with additional support for more memory if all drivers are compatible, large hard drives in GPT format and slightly faster TCP/IP driver. Server 2003 is much smaller than an NT6-based OS and therefore a better fit for a low memory system, without sacrificing functionality such as GUI. It should work well if you have all critical device drivers available.

    How do I grab the PmPlayer addon linked on the PaleMoon site? It shows the button "Only on Pale Moon".

    1) Is BitChute.com supposed to work with Serpent? I see only animated loading bars on video pages. 2) Has anyone got an idea what Swedbank.lv uses to detect the browser? It is a Bank. I can't even read public information on this website as long as JavaScript is enabled. It does not respond to user agent. Could we perhaps get a more thorough version obfuscation in the browser?
