I checked latest versions Serpent 55/52 and Newmoon 20260502. First of all I've no clue to run them with the roll back of Xul.dll and mozsqlite3.dll 20250531 (nss3.dll in case of Serpent 55) without exchanging more files, that doesn't make much sense. So I ran them without changing any files. Of course, I replaced API RaiseException by GetLastError in mozjs.dll. They run mostly stable with the mentioned additional issues. I would also like to add that "Verify Integrity" - about:support > Places Database - doesn't work anymore (OK up to version 20250531). I also had a very annoying problem, that images didn't appear. This was a real killjoy! Fortunately, images are displayed in the new versions. Mentioned again for Newmoon "Restore Previous Session, Recently Closed Tabs and Recently Closed Windows" work, but URL input in the Location bar doesn't. So use the search engine to open the URL. History and Bookmarks don't work at all (Serpent and Newmoon). The only solution I know is PlainOldFavorites. The password manager is also affected by the sqlite update. The passwords aren't saved anymore. It has to be typed every time.

It's not getting any better. On start latest Serpent 55 causes an error in Kernel32.dll, due to a change in gkmedias.dll. Strangely enough, it affects neither 52.9 (20260314) nor Newmoon (20260314).

An useragent override should work. try e.g.: general.useragent.override.distrowatch.com Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:133.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/133.0

Ok I've done this once more and afterwards I started to play a song with VLC. DebugView additionally logged: 00000306 130.59310240 HDACommon: [CAdapterCommon::ProgramSampleRate] 00000307 130.59310800 HDA_Codec: [HDA_Codec::ProgramSampleRate] 00000308 130.59311360 HDA_Codec: AFG node reports no sample rates supported 00000309 130.59311920 HDA_Codec: Sound data format 0x11 00000310 130.59344160 HDACommon: Samplerate changed to 48000. 00000311 130.59697440 HDACommon: [CAdapterCommon::ProgramSampleRate] 00000312 130.59698000 HDA_Codec: [HDA_Codec::ProgramSampleRate] 00000313 130.59698560 HDA_Codec: AFG node reports no sample rates supported 00000314 130.59699120 HDA_Codec: Sound data format 0x4011 00000315 130.59731200 HDACommon: Samplerate changed to 44100. And yes, it seems to play properly from the black jack.

I used HDA-debug.sys (renamed to HDA.sys) from alpha 18 with your instructions from github. I6U9A7.7z

Now sound on Asus P5KPL/1600 ICH7 ID VEN_8086&DEV_27D8 / VIA VT1708B - but only Rear Speaker Out port black jack. The others are inactive.

I also would like to remind you of HDTach 2.7 - small but nice and does what it's supposed to do . I always use this tool first for such a purpose. https://web.archive.org/web/20031108132105/http://www.simplisoftware.com/Public/download.php?request=HdTach-2.7 https://web.archive.org/web/20031030124506/http://www.simplisoftware.com/Public/index.php?request=HdTach

Alpha 017: Still no sound on Asus P5B Ich8 HD AudioController ID VEN_8086&DEV_284B / ADI1988A and Asus P5KPL/1600 ICH7 HDAC ID VEN_8086&DEV_27D8 / VT1708B.

OK, too bad. I can't remember any useful information about testing with hardware from around 2000. Unfortunately, I haven't had such a 370/slot1 motherboard or something similar to test for a long time. Since there is probably no one here who knows KernelEx better than you jumper, the hardware could probably play a role. Maybe it's more the graphics card and its drivers, which in my experience can be a factor. My oldest boards have chipsets Via P4M800, PT880Ultra or Intel 915 - Graphic cards are NV 5900XT / 6600GT AGP for the VIA boards with drivers 82.16 or 82.69 . RT's browsers work here using these boards, but the browsers are extremely slow with this hardware. The speed becomes useful by suppressing advertising or deactivating Javascript. RAM (VRAM)? Mozilla recommended 512MB. This applies to XP. As is well known, it is said to have a more robust memory management than 98SE/ME. I read repeatedly about browser crashes due to low/little memory, that of course also applies to other operating systems. Perhaps we need to define a higher limit? SSE2 Processors were required since Firefox 49. So I'm assuming that this isn't important here.

Yes, apparently it has to do with the switch from icu63 to 78. I wrote on December 25th: "Latest RT's releases 20251225: These can't start anymore with the roll back of only XUL.dll 20250531 and mozsqlite3.dll (nss3.dll) 20250531. Now ICU78 and mozjs.dll have to be swapped to previous version 20251220, too. So this procedure makes less and less sense in the future." More in-depth investigations are pending.

CreateThreadpoolWork isn't supported by XP. It came with Vista. Programs like DependencyWalker should reveal the module (probably Vista+) you are looking for by profiling. DW also shows all module versions.

Conversely, do you have something like a GUI on start of Mypal68??

No, I meant my post with SystemFunction036. I couldn't find that one with the search. The search may no longer work properly.?
