Thanks for your clarification and contribution here! As I already pointed out, I do appreciate it in any case. To have the correct min and max version numbers in the file install.rdf for each browser is sensible and fine.

You're welcome! Glad it works for you! Und schönes Wochende auch für dich! (Translated: Nice weekend for you, too!) AstroSkipper

Hello @Mark-XP! Thanks for your nice words! Much appreciated! The solution you linked in your comment works without any modifications. Here is my detailed instruction to get the "Alternating row highlighting" working in MailNews right away: Create a folder called Chrome in your profile folder. Copy the file userChrome.css containing your linked CSS code into the created folder Chrome . Open about:config, create a new Boolean variable toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets and set it to the value true. Restart MailNews. That is exactly what I did. And it worked right away. Please note that toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets is a Boolean, and not a string variable! And the file userChrome.css must be copied into the Chrome subfolder of your profile folder. That's simply all. Cheers, AstroSkipper

You're right! The direction isn't good for XP/Vista email clients. Logically! No doubt about it! Windows XP is an abandoned, ancient OS which hasn't been supported since 2014. I'll leave the POSReady updates out of my consideration. I think by Web mail you mean the email web services of different providers. Right? If not, please be so nice to provide a link to this email web service in question! The problem with email web services is that most of them work only with a reduced, simplified interface in old browsers as for example GMX or in Germany WEB.DE. These interfaces are awful and restricted, only for the bare essentials. When these email services are managed for example by MailNews, they work much better, more comfortable and faster. I prefer this way, love it and use it as long as possible!

@Ryder252! As we all know, Windows XP is an old OS. I would try the .NET Framework Setup Verification Tool first. Strictly following the rule: old tool with old OS. Here is a link from archive.org as the original site is no longer available on Microsoft: https://web.archive.org/web/20170213203348/https://msdnshared.blob.core.windows.net/media/2016/10/netfx_setupverifier_new.zip

I always appreciate your investigations. Maybe, my installer is more recent, or there are different versions. I download it from Germany, maybe they redirect to another server or file. A lot of different possibilities. I downloaded it by myself and by using the online installer. Same sizes! Anyway! Dito! Καληνυχτα!

I do not use the Windows Explorer directly. All file operations are only performed by me using Total Commander. The best Windows file manger ever! But for you as requested, a screenshot from my Windows Explorer additionally: I never observed any differences between WE and TC in terms of file sizes. I use TC since 1995. It's always the first tool I generally install in a new Windows partition. Greetings

There is a special tool to check a .NET Framework installation called .NET Framework Setup Verification Tool. Download it from the internet! The more recent tool is now called Microsoft .NET Framework Repair Tool. Here is its download page: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30135

Ok. No SSE2 problem. You said all that happened after a clean reinstall of XP SP3. My next assumption is an essential component is missing or damaged while installing. I would check the Microsoft .NET Framework installation first. BTW, what version is the Panda Dome installer of you used for installation? The version of my offline installer is 15.14.5.0 with a size of 92.041.632 Bytes. And you should get rid of all remnants of previous Panda installations before you start the next attempt. @Ryder252 It doesn't matter whether you use the online or offline installer. Both should work, or something is wrong in your system. I used the online installer, and it worked flawlessly. Check your network, partition or better, your whole system! At least, that's what I would do.

Here is a screenshot of my offline and online installer taken from Total Commander: The sizes are in Bytes.

Hello @Mark-XP! Sorry for the late reply! I totally overviewed this. I managed to get the "Alternating row highlighting" working in MailNews right away without any problems. So what is your problem in detail? For me, it works like a charm. Here is a small screenshot from my MailNews client: Greetings from Germany,

Panda Dome installs fine in Windows XP Professional SP3. No problems here. My system is fully updated including all POSReady updates. These are the system requirements for installing Panda Dome: Does your CPU support the SSE2 instruction set? Running an installation program that then immediately closes again is something I know well from systems whose CPU does not support SSE2, although the program needs this feature.

I did a scan of my system partition by MWAV - eScan Antivirus Toolkit. Surprisingly, the tool found a strange file that other AV programs did not notice. In any case, it is always a wise decision to use different scan tools. The one perfect tool will never exist. But we have to be glad that there are still a few tools running under Windows XP at all.

MWAV - eScan Antivirus Toolkit is an antivirus/antimalware offline scanner for a manual checking of the computer and cleaning if necessary. WiseVector StopX is an AI based antivirus program with a background guard, but its development has stopped, unfortunately So they are completely different and not easy to compare. You will find only a few tests of both tools in the internet. They are not as well known as the AV programs produced by big antivirus manufacturers. MWAV is a good tool, easy to handle and is updated on a regular base. I do trust it. For more information, follow this link to its English homepage: https://www.escanav.com/en/mwav-tools/download-free-antivirus-toolkit.asp If you are looking for an antivirus program with real-time protection under Windows XP, you can try Panda Dome. I wrote about this program in previous posts. In my system, I use both, Panda Dome and MWAV. A good combination, in my opinion.

seems to be fine as well. Great to see that Tab Mix Plus is working again in Serpent 52! I therefore assume that the error I reported regarding Tab Utilities Phoenix has also been solved. In any case, I am very excited about the new releases and am already looking forward to them.

You always pay with your data. Therefore, these commercial antivirus scanner are not really free. But if you don't want that, you should avoid using Microsoft Windows, especially more recent ones. In these OSs, you always pay with your data, even if you have paid for your Windows. You can switch to Linux or take all kinds of countermeasures. BTW, MWAV - eScan Antivirus Toolkit is free of charge and an offline scanner which doesn't need any internet connections. Updating can be done offline, too. All has been described in this post and the subsequent:

Thanks for your hint! I already wrote about these modifications here in these posts: I left the maxVersion at 52.9.* but it can increased at any time (especially for Serpent 55), of course. All these extensions work in Serpent 52 and New Moon 28. I use a lot of them. But nevertheless, thank you for your contribution here! As always, much appreciated. Kind regards, AstroSkipper

I used ClamWin in Windows ME for a long time. It is still installed there, as this partition was never deleted due to historical reasons. Unfortunately, the detection rate is not that good, and the program does not have its own background guard. For this, one must additionally use an external tool called Clam Sentinel which unfortunately consumes a lot of resources in these old OSs. But as far as I know, it is one of the last working AV programs for Win9x/ME. Under Windows XP, I would try to avoid it, unless it would be the last existing AV program for XP at all. The good is ClamWin is Opensource.

All has been said, some is good, some rather not. That's life. So let's get back on topic here before more such witty comments see the light of day and multiply like rabbits. This thread is about antivirus and security programs in Windows XP SP3. One of my last recommendations was Panda Dome. I have been using it for a while, and it works flawlessly, without any problems. I am very happy with Panda. It really consumes few resources, and you hardly notice it in the background. In my system, a perfect choice without affecting the responsiveness of Windows XP and its installed applications. Of course, some exclusions have to be made in Panda, as it is the case in other antivirus programs, too. The installation of Panda Dome (two program folders) requires a total of only about 160 MB on the drive and uses about 120 MB RAM. The RAM usage may vary depending on what is going on in your system. Anyway! I think these are very good values for today's time. Cheers, AstroSkipper

Update notification! All Pale Moon extensions, created by RealityRipple Software have been updated and are now available in version 32.0 or 32.1. Here is the link once again: https://realityripple.com/Software/XUL/ Cheers, AstroSkipper

Of course, I can say that. And I do it once more. Your assumption is wrong. I used Avast Antivirus, Avast Internet Security and Avast Premier more than 10 years. I know all about them. And I tried it on different hardware. Avast was abandoned by me due to my posted experiences months ago. Anyway! It's all water under the bridge. I use other, better and much lighter security software instead as I already wrote in this thread. What you are doing here is more of a body snatching kind of thing. Please, stop reviving old comments of mine! Or better, stop quoting me in general if possible! Thanks for that in advance!

That's why I already posted the output of my web console above additonally: I fear that this is much more difficult to fix, if at all. I also posted this to the issues of martok's palefill on GitHub as I already mentioned above. Here is the link: https://github.com/martok/palefill/issues/85#issue-1615306551 The web console also shows a JavaSript error in my screenshot. I wonder if this can be polyfilled somehow.

Unfortunately, not! I can't confirm your statement.
