    Some MSFN members agree with you, particularly in the Windows XP forum. Most recently, AstroSkipper posted November 6 about switching from Avast to WiseVector StopX, and it had been discussed earlier in that same thread, which Vista users have also posted in. (Few antivirus products supported Vista any longer than XP.) I wonder if it works with extended kernel? I have been using now WiseVector StopX for a couple of months and I don't regret my change, on the contrary, I am very satisfied and really positively taken with it.

    Thank you for Your attention and my best wishes to You. You're welcome! And dito! I love it!

    @Snowshoe! I have checked your log file. Try following command line option with curl: --ssl-no-revoke. This disables cert revocation checks (Schannel) which most probably caused the error 0x80092012. You should do that only if you trust the server you want to connect. I had a similar problem with wget in the past, and disabling cert revocation was the way to solve it. Cheers, AstroSkipper

    That's a very clever project. You reported an issue in Pale Moon, and they checked it in browsers based on Chromium.

    I fully agree with that! I am additionally an Android user since 2014, and so unfortunately I am a slave under Google's rule. I keep trying to free myself as much as I can, but it is almost impossible to do so completely. Unfortunately, all my browsers on Android are based on Chromium. There are simply no alternative browser engines.

    That's not out of context. Did I mention you? If you think that this does not apply to you, then you should not feel addressed. You are not the only member of this forum. People who refer everything to themselves have a problem, of course.

    Hello @VistaLover! Does that mean that @cmalex's TLS 1.3 proxy ProxyMII https://www.mediafire.com/file/pdy1cd8insmdq7g/ProxyMII_220717.7z/file (not my package ProxHTTPSProxy's PopMenu TLS 1.3 3V3) is not running under Windows Vista? Did you test ProxyMII in this OS in the past? I can't do that because I don't use this operating system. BTW, the handling of this proxy is fully documented in my main article ProxHTTPSProxy and HTTPSProxy in Windows XP for future use in the section 8.

    As far as I can see, rzbrowser and retrozilla-suite were last updated on 2022-12-08. That's pretty recent for browsers targeting such old operating systems like Win 95+, isn't it?

    Hello @roytam1! Even though there are members here who don't appreciate weekly updates of your browsers, I would like to thank you for your regular browser releases, the time you spend on them and your enthusiasm. You maintain so many projects with an incredible continuity that is quite impressive. New Moon 28 and Serpent are my main browsers in Windows XP. And they even work with YouTube on older computers, where 360Chrome is a total failure. Many thanks for that!

    Hello @Snowshoe! Here are two screenshots with the settings of my SocksCap64 installation: If you have any further questions, do not hesitate to ask here! Cheers, AstroSkipper

    Here is a screenshot of the Web Developer menu of New Moon 28.10.6a1 (32-bit) (2023-01-19) in the German language (Web-Entwickler): My modified language pack is fully working, and all has been translated. BTW, New Moon 28 is my main browser under Windows XP, even in 2023. Cheers, AstroSkipper

    Does it really work? The last time I wanted to use a Pale Moon lang pack in New Moon I had no success. kind regards soggi Hi @soggi! For New Moon 28, I use the German language pack from here: https://github.com/JustOff/pale-moon-localization/releases/download/28.10.0_RC1/de.xpi which I modified myself a long time ago in terms of the dev tools. You are German like me , therefore you are lucky and can use my already modified language pack file de-mod-content-dev.xpi. Here is the link: https://www.mediafire.com/file/99riihhfrxrju2k/de-mod-content-dev.xpi/file Cheers, AstroSkipper

    The program LegacyUpdate 1.6.1 has been updated and is now available in version 1.6.2. Changelog from GitHub: I've already updated my original post, too. Cheers, AstroSkipper

    Hello @cmalex! Welcome back! I hope everything is OK with you. I send you my warmest greetings! And thanks for helping here! Always appreciated! Cheers, AstroSkipper

    Can you demonstrate how to get this working with ProxHTTPSProxy? Or show your settings inside SocksCap64? It doesn't have a HTTPS proxy setting, only HTTP, which doesn't work for me. I am trying to use programs that do use HTTPS but don't use the system proxy server (including programs that use libcurl.dll, or have curl static compiled into the executable). Simply updating root certificates and enabling TLS 1.2 in IE is not enough, I get a mis-matched hostname certificate error when trying to run programs that use curl (or go on certain sites with IE when ProxHTTPSProxy isn't enabled, for that matter). Also, redirecting requests from curl to plain HTTP is not always possible because the server does not serve plain HTTP and only uses a 301 redirect to HTTPS regardless of the URL. Hello @Snowshoe! I tested SocksCap64 with some browsers and it worked perfectly. You can try any other application but there might be some which won't work properly with SocksCap64. It's always trial and error. Anyway! Next time I'm at my desktop computer, I'll take some screenshots of my settings and post it here for you.

    Does anyone still have a copy of this hotfix? The links in their forums to their BOX site are all broken as are any of the direct downloads in the forum threads I could find there. If not I guess I'll track down 2.1.6 which was the last version that did not need the patch. I know that MBAM 2 is now out of support so doesn't get updates but was looking for a quick solution for doing offline scans for mostly period malware anyways on a Athlon XP machine (SSE1 only). From what I was seeing the patch is mostly in regards to a Qt5 library? Though I'm trying to find that original post again that mentioned that Hi @Chartreuse! I have a copy of the file Malwarebytes_2.1.8_SSE2_Hotfix.zip in my personal archive. Still interested?
  17. AstroSkipper
    Right! From a mathematical point of view, the most efficient way to quickly get to the version of New Moon 28 that is compatible with Windows XP SP2.

    Have you ever connected successfully to a server of a commercial VPN provider using the protocol IPSec Xauth PSK provided by the Shrew Soft VPN Client under Windows XP in the past? Is that possible with VPN clients like Shrew Soft or TheGreenBow at all? Or can connections only be established to VPN Gateways of VPN appliances produced by vendors such as Cisco, Juniper, Checkpoint, Fortinet, Netgear, Linksys, Zywall and so on?

    Unfortunately, FastestVPN has dropped support of L2TP protocol in Windows XP last year just as many other VPN providers have already done, but PPTP still works. And OpenVPN presumably, too. BulletVPN, for example, still provides both, PPTP and L2TP, in Windows XP. Generally, OpenVPN is not a good choice on old, underpowered systems because the client causes a high processor load. In my case, I have a 100% CPU load with only a third of the theoretically achievable connection speed, which can thus never be reached. On more powerful computers, on the other hand, I don't see any problems using OpenVPN.

    Ok! So if users can't get the current weather forecast in 360 Chrome and don't know how to get these sites to work in this browser, do not hesitate to ask our weatherman @NotHereToPlayGames. He will get the necessary information for you.
  21. AstroSkipper
    That would be off-topic in any case, unfortunately.

    The only BSODs I have had were caused by the 360Chrome browsers in conjunction with WiseVector StopX. Otherwise, I haven't had a single BSOD in years. Nevertheless, I am not at all surprised that most comments about BSODs in MSFN are found in connection with Windows XP which is the most modified and patched OS ever, full of ported and forked software. Just think of all existing system patches, the experiments with the ACPI.sys file, modified drivers and so on. Anyway! I used the 360Chrome browsers with rebased chrome.dll intensively the last weeks, without any further BSODs in my system. But one thing is crystal clear. The 360Chrome Browsers v13.5 have a Chromium engine 86 which was actually never meant to run on Windows XP. Therefore, BSODs do not really surprise me.

    @UCyborg! Thanks for this tip! Works absolutely great! I extracted this file from the most recent release which unfortunately is no longer XP-compatible and copied it into the appropriate folder of my installation. Now, YouTube works much better than before. Thanks again!
  24. AstroSkipper
    Same here in Windows XP. YouTube channel links are analysed, but nothing is shown. Only an empty window.

    I'm glad that we agree a little for once. I'm guessing that these are all old cars. Unfortunately, I am not at all familiar with American car models. The initial numbers are probably the year of manufacture. Therefore, you are a fan of classic cars. I drive an '89 Golf I Cabriolet.
