    Do you really think he actually goes to the trouble to absolutely ensure his apps won't run on XP or Vista? I know his personality seems to suggest so. But do you think his aversion is that intense? Sure, we all know my present-day stance on XP, but I think it's amazing what Roytam1 has been able to get running

    Holy Crap! VistaLover welcomed you and helped the best he could. Sometimes, long-winded explanations are necessary so that all of the details can be examined and known about. He wants to arm you with info. **** IMPORTANT **** As for all the rest of you that called me an anti-XP troll - Now do you see the difference? I never told anyone they were long-winded, insulted them, or told them TL:DR. Sure I disagreed, but I wasn't trying to poke bees nests. I've refrained from my anti-XP "discussions" (which isn't cause for celebration - since it hinders open communication), but maybe next time, you'll remember what I just said. I'm still upset (not in a sucky way) that I was thought of as a troll, since I've also helped others on occasion. No one should ever have tow a "company line" when it comes to an open forum. But the disagreeable behaviour above is the type of thing that really should set you all off.

    So you're saying if they are are the v26.5 variety of Goanna, that New Moon and K-Meleon/Goanna works. Am I correct? Thanks Roytam1 (For Tycho v27, I take it that KernelEx is required on Windows 2000?)
  4. Jody Thornton
    Will Roytam1 browsers work on vanilla Windows 2000 (with SP4 and the post-SP5 update that someone made on here)? I was going to set up a Dell D610 Notebook with it, instead of Puppy Linux, and sell it.

    Don't you have to go to GitHub to get the older XUL versions of uBlock now?
  6. Jody Thornton
    I'll have to see. I used to avoid installing .NET Framework in the XP days

    I have a collection of Post-EOL updates for XP 64 that I could also send you. These were excellent for extending life to XP x64 Edition until July 2015. :)

    Oh and maybe some good news for an AMO replacement https://blog.waterfoxproject.org/waterfox-56.2.5-release-download It's Waterfox specific, but it might be helpful to other Gecko users.

    So is this Borealis and Interlink? EDIT: Never mind ....lol. I see it inside the files now.

    You all knew this day would come. Still kinda sad though! https://www.ghacks.net/2018/11/29/it-appears-that-mozilla-removed-all-classic-extensions-from-firefox-add-ons/

    You know @greenhillmaniac it just occurred to me: getting the Windows RT update didn't cost me an ARM and a leg to get! (thank you, thank you - I'll be here all week)
  12. Jody Thornton
    @greenhillmaniacYou sir, were a tremendous help. I have my December 2017 Rollup for Windows RT. Thanks a million for linking me up. Cheers!
  13. Jody Thornton
    I was kinda thinking the same thing. Thanks for your help @Mcinwwl
  14. Jody Thornton
    @greenhillmaniacSomeday I'll risk installing updates again, so at that time, I'll qualify as "whoever"
  15. Jody Thornton
    Look at me with all of the RT questions ....lol Is there a decent enough Metro app that I can use for Facebook chat? IE 11 (metro) is not really reliable any more. I tried installing 8 Chat, but I guess too much has changed in Facebook for it to work properly now.... sniff. It doesn't have to be a great app, just as long as it works.
  16. Jody Thornton
    @greenhillmaniac, I just uninstalled KB2871389, KB2885699, KB2957026. Surprised I missed these. Thank you so much.
  17. Jody Thornton
    Now what I'd want to know is that, if I install all of the updates for Server 2012, from December 2017 to current (but skipping whichever month has Spectre/Meltdown), would I incur slow downs of a significant type? Is it OK to skip the month's update?
  18. Jody Thornton
    Holy Crap @greenhillmaniac. I posted my question there. In the meantime, I found the rollup for September 2017, and I will install that one. You friggin' amaze me!
  19. Jody Thornton
    Now here's my question: is Windows 10 not supposed to be supported for the life of the device it's installed on? Does this not nullify Microsoft's agreement?
  20. Jody Thornton
    Hey Folks: I realize that updates for Windows RT are supposed to only be delivered through Windows Update. But would anyone know where a repository might exist for older monthly rollups? I want to update my Surface tablet to a November or December 2017 timeline. My understanding is that IE 11 updates are integrated into the rollups. If they can be obtained separately, that would be better I'm looking for either the November or December 2017 rollup for Windows 8.1 RT. On Windows Update, only the November 2018 rollup is offered. Any help would be appreciated.

    @UCyborg , there was a time that I would have been the complete opposite of you, but now two things have changed my stance: not only has there been evidence of performance degradation with recent Windows 8x updates; now there has been very problematic updates for not only Windows 10, but Microsoft Office as well. https://www.ghacks.net/2018/11/20/office-too-microsoft-pulls-office-patches/ https://www.ghacks.net/2018/11/16/look-windows-10-version-1809-has-even-more-issues/
  22. Jody Thornton
    It just happened https://www.ghacks.net/2018/11/19/avast-18-8-is-the-last-version-for-windows-xp-and-vista/

    I installed security only updates, starting with November 2017, and went backwards. All superseeded updates wouldn't install, saying that they weren't required.
  24. Jody Thornton
    Only problem now though is that the definitions are getting larger and the older MSE build causes a lot of CPU overheads (and sometimes slow downs during browsing)
  25. Jody Thornton
    Does anyone have such a list of updates to block on Windows Server 2012? I understand there would be low demand for such a thing, but I was just curious. By the way, I mean the original release (as in Windows NT 6.2), not R2.
