    Happy New Year Everyone (from Southern Ontario in Canada). What is Eastern Standard Time? GMT+5 maybe? @roytam1, I'm no longer a consumer of you modded browsers (though I install New Moon on my parents' computer), I commend you on all of your hard work.

    Hey folks! My question directly relates to my Surface tablet running Windows RT, but I'm sure it's also the case with Windows 8.1. I reset my RT tablet because of perceived Windows Store issues (turns out my installation was fine, and I should have left well enough alone). Anyway, I went to the Windows Store to reinstall my apps. One app I wanted to reinstall was Bing Wikipedia Browser. But in the last two weeks, the app has been removed from the Store. Now, I understand that if I can obtain the AppX package files, I can use Powershell to install the app. Does anyone know how I might possibly be able to obtain the app, without its being on the Windows Store?

    It's working again on my Microsoft account. Just started working on it's own. So now I'm downloading my apps.

    Well over the last day or so, I've been unable to access to Windows Store on my Surface RT tablet. I've refreshed it, but that didn't fix the issue. I've completely reset the tablet. No go there either. The error I receive is: Windows Store isn't available right now. Please try again later. Initially, I was able to bring up the main screen of the Windows Store, but I'm unable to even do that now. Any help is appreciated.

    Not in this thread. Look up the thread on Windows XP: Impressions (or something like that). I'm not going to dump on the crew here. I've also benefited from @roytam1's work while I was running Vista.

    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?)
  10. 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?
  12. Jody Thornton
    I'll have to see. I used to avoid installing .NET Framework in the XP days
  13. Jody Thornton
    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)
  18. 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!
  19. Jody Thornton
    I was kinda thinking the same thing. Thanks for your help @Mcinwwl
  20. Jody Thornton
    @greenhillmaniacSomeday I'll risk installing updates again, so at that time, I'll qualify as "whoever"
  21. 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.
  22. Jody Thornton
    @greenhillmaniac, I just uninstalled KB2871389, KB2885699, KB2957026. Surprised I missed these. Thank you so much.
  23. 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?
  24. 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!
  25. 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?
