    If you use Mypal 68 in single-process mode, the following error message may occur when you click on an extension in the Add-ons Manager: This is a known problem, and was already reported by me in the issues of Mypal 68. Link: https://github.com/Feodor2/Mypal68/issues/104 Cheers, AstroSkipper

    Here you can find information about extensions in Mypal 68: In a nutshell, in Mypal 68, you can install web extensions only. Old, legacy extensions don't work anymore. Cheers, AstroSkipper

    @soggi, actually, all has already been said. may do their own research to confirm statements of other members if they are uncertain. The only way to get rid of uncertainty. There is one main principal: Trust is good, control is better! And I follow this rule generally. And that doesn't mean I don't trust you, though, and hopefully, maybe, you trust me either... Kind regards, AstroSkipper

    You're very welcome!

    You can find it on fileeagle. Link: https://www.fileeagle.com/software/470/Process-Explorer/16.26/

    Thanks for your reply and your find! You're absolutely right, Process Explorer v16.26 is fully functional on Windows XP. I checked the versions on filehorse, and there was no version 16.26. Only 16.22 and then 16.30. Therefore, I couldn't check version 16.26. I thought the list there was complete. Anyway, good find and thanks again! Cheers, AstroSkipper

    First, I didn't see your statement, when I posted my comment, but nevertheless, it would be still AFAIK until I did a research by myself. AFAIK has nothing to do with uncertainty. It simply means I did no research yet, but I am sure that my recall is correct. And that is not unnecessary, of course. You know what I mean? BTW, I already agreed to your statement, so what are we talking about? In any case, I decide definitely on my own the use of AFAIK. That has to be absolutely clear. Anyway, your facts are correct, and all is well. Kind regards,

    Actually, the flag --disable-file-system would have to prevent the access of Chrome apps (and extensions?) to the user's local file system. It seems to be a security option, although then a read and write access of installed apps to the user's local file system wouldn't be possible anymore. Is that the idea? What do you think? I didn't find any details about this flag either, only the description "Disable FileSystem API".

    To check whether all is loaded correctly at system start, you could perform a bootlog start. Evaluating this bootlog will show what's going on at system start in regards of all services and drivers to load. And you should check your Windows Event Logs and look for errors. The corresponding Event IDs may help you solving your problems. Cheers, AstroSkipper

    And additionally, on Windows XP, Process Explorer v16.32 works, but doesn't show the menu bar icons and graphs. The last version which works completely is Process Explorer v16.22.

    I didn't perform a deeper check. It seemed to render properly at the first look. Sometimes, a different browser engine helps.

    Hi @Dave-H, on Windows XP you can open the site https://www.lner.co.uk/ in Otter Browser. As far as I can see, it seems to work in this QT-based browser. Tested version: Otter Browser weekly420. Link: https://sourceforge.net/projects/otter-browser/files/otter-browser-weekly420/otter-browser-win32-weekly420-xp.zip/download Latest version compatible with Windows XP: 1.0.0.3 Link: https://sourceforge.net/projects/otter-browser/files/otter-browser-1.0.03/otter-browser-win32-1.0.03-xp.zip/download Cheers, AstroSkipper

    I assume you can't access your Windows XP installation in normal mode anymore. My tips: 1. Boot into safe mode. Undo all recent changes. Clear all temporary files. Reboot into normal mode. If that doesn't fix your problem, try to set back your system to "Last Known Good Configuration". 2. To load the last known good configuration in Windows XP, reboot the computer and upon startup, repeatedly press the F8 key. This action should bring up the "Windows Advanced Options Menu". Use your arrow keys to move to "Last Known Good Configuration" and press the Enter key. If that doesn't help either, try a repair of your Windows XP installation. 3. Boot your Windows XP computer with your associated boot CD and perform a repair install (option R) using the Recovery Console. Cheers, AstroSkipper PS: And, what would I do if I had such a problem? I'd restore the most recent image of my system partition. Only minutes later, no problems anymore!

    @jaderunner, AFAIK, a MyPal version 18.9.3 never existed. Maybe, you meant Mypal 28.9.3.

    Mypal 68 has its own TLS (1.2 and 1.3) protocol and the associated ciphers. A TLS 1.2 proxy isn't needed for Mypal 68. Please, provide information about your hardware! Furthermore, open the setting page of Mypal 68, disable hardware acceleration, clear cache, delete all cookies, and restart the browser. Do you use Mypal 68 in single-process or multiprocess mode?
  16. AstroSkipper
    Please, provide information about your hardware and the update state of your Windows XP! Have all POSReady updates until 2019 already been installed?

    Try to disable ZA temporarily (completely!) and check Windows XP built-in firewall if it is active and interfering. Sometimes, it helps to set an exclusion in Windows XP built-in firewall either.

    No, unless you have some applications which need the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). JavaScript and Java Runtime Environment are two totally different things. In a browser, you need a lot of scripts written in the language JavaScript. Almost all websites provide functionality via Javascript. Java Runtime Environment, for running Java executables, is needed very rarely in a browser. Therefore, JRE can't fix your problem.

    And one thing is totally clear. Without the efforts and support of @roytam1, @feodor2, @NotHereToPlayGames, @Humming Owl and so on, Windows XP would have been died years ago. Therefore, thanks to you all for your great work , and keep Windows XP alive as long as possible! Kind regards, AstroSkipper +

    Hope dies last! On my old Windows XP computer, I try to avoid crappy, cumbersome, Googlized websites generally as a form of protest, and due to my low hardware resources. If I have to access such sites, I usually open them in a browser on my Android tablet. The advantage is that mobile website versions are much more tolerable and easier to surf than desktop versions. I think your described trend will accelerate more and more, looking back the last years. Unfortunately, the users loving their Windows XP will have to accept that those websites can only be accessed by using alternatives. My personal rule: all Googlized crap should be processed by Google's OS Android and its browsers. Cheers, AstroSkipper

    On a Fujitsu notebook, Windows 7 was already preinstalled. I upgraded the hardware, resized the existing partitions, and installed Windows 10 as a second boot partition. By using a boot manager I installed in the Windows 7 partition, in my case it was Boot-US, I can use either Windows 7 or 10 independantly, according to my needs. Therefore I didn't have to decide to give up one of them. Personally, I prefer Windows XP, but if I had to choose between Windows 7 or 10, I would choose Windows 7. In any case, and spoken for me only, it would be a choice between cholera and pest, unfortunately. In your case, why not use both? Cheers, AstroSkipper

    @tpao12, another working, alternative extension to open videos in VLC is Video Assistant 1.0.4. I use this extension in Serpent 52, but it will work in other roytam1's browsers either, and it's fine. It can be enabled or disabled by a toogle button and opens a video from different sources, which can be set in its options, in VLC automatically. You will find it in the Classic Add-ons Archive. Cheers, AstroSkipper

    When I write about something I haven't research before, but in the past, it is and must be AFAIK. Otherwise, I would state facts I didn't know or remember exactly, and, spoken for me only, I don't do that generally! :-) But good to know that my recall is correct, and works as it should be although I am not really the freshest one, referring to my age, LOL! Cheers, AstroSkipper

    My mentioned Pentium 4 has the instruction set SSE2. AFAIK, all Pentium 4 have a SSE2 instruction set at least. @Reino didn't provide any hardware details. I didn't want to make assumptions. But, you are absolutely right. If @Reino's CPU is a SSE only one, I can understand why VLC 3 doesn't work, and unfortunately, a lot of other software either. Cheers, AstroSkipper

    This is probably a bit off-topic, but... assuming we're all still using WinXP on old hardware, how do you even manage to run the VLC gui? VLC 2.2.8 is for me the latest release that starts the gui upon double-clicking 'vlc.exe'. Whenever I double-click on 'vlc.exe' of any newer version, including the latest v3.0.17.4, it just starts the cli and I have no idea how to start the gui instead. Normally I never use VLC, because MPC-HC is my main mediaplayer, but I was just curious. Hi @Reino, I run, without any problems, VLC 3.0.16 in Windows XP Professional SP3, fully POSReady updated, on a very old computer with a Pentium 4 single core CPU 2.8 GHz and 1.5 GB SD-RAM. The youtube.luac file is the latest, provided by the link in my post above. It's fully functional, and supposedly, the latest version 3.0.17.4 is compatible with Windows XP either (I read that on their homepage). Therefore, I can't confirm your problems. Cheers, AstroSkipper
