    I've updated my Opera 12.02 Certificate Authorities by collating certificates from the current Microsoft Roots Update CA, Mozilla NSS root certificate store and Azul JDK 8 keystore.

    Microsoft is the largest source of certificates and only one certificate from Mozilla and a handful from the JDK aren't already in Microsoft's Roots Update.

    Microsoft's Roots Update installs 51 expired certificates which I discarded leaving me with a total of 368 unique valid certificates. Of these, another 51 failed to install in Opera, 42 of which because they are elliptic curve certificates and the remainder 9 for unknown reason (they are RSA like the rest).

    In total 317 certificates have been installed but of course not all are new. You can grab the updated "keystore" file (cleaned from my personal certificates, Burp, ZAP, etc...) at the following link if you want: https://filebin.net/k3x0x97yygo19ylh

    To install, close Opera and overwrite the original opcacrt6.dat which should located at C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Opera\OPERA by default. You'll need to reinstall your Burp certificate and other similar certificates if you use any after that.

    Tools I used: OpenSSL executable (format conversion), KeyStore Explorer (viewing certificates and extracting some) and Clone Spy (pruning duplicates).

     

     

     

     

    Download from https://filebin.net/k3x0x97yygo19ylh is down. Any Chance for reup?

    Is ReFS ready for prime-time?

    On other (old) news, when they released XP the demented MS guys did remove something useful (the Wang/Kodak Imaging tool) that was a nice (very popular) tool on 9x and NT/2K, and, in no time, each and every "geeky peep" on the internet managed to port the 2K version to XP (and a subset of the "geeky peeps" also use it on Vista and 7 ;)):

    that was a problem, and it has been solved just fine, when/if making a REFS will become a problem, surely a workaround will be found. :)

    Sorry for bumping this thread, but the linked homepage is gone.

    archive.org has captured the site, but not the files

    scanner-win7.z and scanner.zip are very generic names :(

    List of software that doesn't support Windows 7

    This is very interesting.. why would they block windows 7 and keep 8.1? I don't think that 8.1 has anything (except dx 11.2) over windows 7 that would stop the game from running. I hate when companies do this :realmad:

    The Graphics of Star Trek Online (STO) were outdated in 2010, when STO was released...

    Otherwise your guess is as good as mine.

    STO dropping support for Windows 7 and older GPUs after Feb 2022

    What happens if I don’t upgrade by February 15?

    Starting in November 2021, if you are running on Windows 7 or using a Video Card with a Direct3D Feature Level 10, you will be informed of the upcoming incompatibility via the launcher.

    As of February 15, 2022, STO and NW will no longer be supporting Windows 7 or a Video Card with a Direct3D Feature Level less than 11. Players who do not meet the updated requirements will get a pop-up over the launcher indicating this and the launcher will close automatically when clicking OK. It will not be possible to log in or patch without upgrading.

    Win 2003 Hotfix list updated

    in Windows 2000/2003/NT4

    Posted

    I finally updated my 2003 Server hotfix list, if anyone needs / cares.

    The nice thing is that I go back and remove hotfixes that the newer ones make obsolete.

    The bummer is that I believe I am the last guy on Earth using Server 2003 and needing hotfixes for it.

    Thanks for the good work.  I am still using that list to slipstream updates, when I restall Windows.   Using Windows 7 on my trusted IBM Thinkpad Armada would be like torturing them. Thank the Gods, I've so many Windows 2003 licenses.   

    Started using Win 7 in April IIRC
      Do you plan on updating that list in the future ?           As this forum does not work with Opera 12, especially for posting, I'm only lurker.

    Opera 10

    in Windows 9x/ME

    Posted

    On my Computer (Thinkpad X31) Win98se Sp3 beta +KernelEx +RP9 I also have frequent freezes using Opera 10.10.

    But it is not caused by CPU Usage, but by eating up User & GDI Resources.

    Opera freezes, while according to RP9 User Resources are at 1% or dropping rapidly.

    GDI Resources seem to be fine.

    Installing GDI Extender beta1 and setting GDIMaxHeapSize=32000 win.ini section [windows]

    seems to make the freezes less frequently.

    So GDI Resources are somehow involved.

    As I disabled JavaScript and Plugins, either Opera is ignoring these settings or

    they are not responsible for these freezes.
