    https://pluto.tv/ is not restricted in my area i.e. it works and in German, too either. The desktop version works in Mypal 68 with spoofing the user agent. UXP-based browsers, I didn't try yet.

    Thanks for the information! I personally do not use streaming services. I don't watch movies online either. Only offline! And if I wanted to watch movies using tubitv, I would have to connect via VPN. This service is in my area (Germany) blocked. I could do that, but I prefer watching movies in my native language i.e. in German.

    Yeah, no problem to load this site, but did you try to watch any of these movies for free? Spoofing the user agent works, though, but this site doesn't seem to offer movies for free. Either I do something wrong or this site has changed to an untrustworthy one. I tried it on my Android tablet either, and none of the movies were for free. Could you really use this service without payments in the past? Anyway, very strange! Cheers, AstroSkipper

    I used an Android 9 Chrome user agent, and no free movies. You have to watch via Apple TV or Amazon, And that means you have to pay for it. Or the filter free doesn't work properly anymore.

    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?
  20. 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
