  1. I was using Malwarebytes 1.75 and SuperAntiSpyware (just to remove cookies). But I was just running manual scans. MSE never really caught anything, so I wonder how bad off I'd be just running Vista with no on-demand scanner. It runs better without MSE. :)
  2. Now let's try a smilie on New Moon. :) - Nope didn't work. so New Moon v28 has a compatibility issue! Pooh!
  3. I know in the "Last Versions of Software for Vista" thread, there's a whole list of still-working applications, but I wonder what most of you are all using for AV protection. I just jettisoned MSE 4.304.4 because of performance issues, so I'm looking for a good replacement. :)
  4. Wow! I turned on my PC, and I'm telling you seriously, Vista booted about 30% faster. I have never had Vista boot, or had applications load this quickly (and this is an old Netburst dual-Xeon with DDR2 memory) Obviously, MSE and 2018 updates were slowing things down.
  5. That worked. It's funny how you tell me type the address about:config, and search for "media"....lol. You should just say, "go to about:config and change media.autoplay.enabled to true" ....lol. Very helpful though.
  6. Aww thanks man. Actually to be honest (I know this sounds really sissy ...lol), but I was starting to worry that you disappeared or something bad happened to you. I hadn't seen you on the forums for quite awhile. Glad you're OK!
  7. Okie Doke - hey it worked that time. Right now I'm on Quantum at work. I'll have to try New Moon at home. Cheers All!
  8. I was using the Qdownloader site. It seems to work most of the time, without a plugin.
  9. @TechnoRelicI will try that when I get home. :)
  10. Has anyone figured out the YouTube glitch, where the circling arrow spins, until you press pause. Then when you press play - it works!
  11. I completely hear you @JohnRichardTLH. I did remove MSE. The CPU usage is definitely lower. The system is a tad more "responsive". I guess this is how it shall stay. I really appreciate hearing what you have to say.
  12. Hi Folks! When I type :) well I should see a smilie, right? It no longer happenes. I checked my profile settings, but nothing intuitively pops out at me to adjust. Any takers? :)
  13. @Roytam1 and @GTAGAME I really didn't realize that production versions were not ported. But now I know. :)
  14. See Guys? I told you there were holes in this OS! Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa! (kidding! kidding!)
  15. @roytam1. I hear you. I'm looking forward to v28 Final from you. :) A nice going away Vista present ....lol
  16. Well the thing is @JohnRichardTLH, I want to be able to install updates down the road. I mean, why wouldn't I want to patch vulnerabilities that are known, right? I will be switching to Windows 8 in September, and while I am planning to adhere to @NoelC's December 2017 recommendations, I don't want to install NO UPDATES from now until October 2023. There's a lot that could happen then.
  17. @Vistapocalypse, so the CPU usage is rising (I only need her the fans running, albeit quietly, when I open the browser and it loads nine tabs). When I turn off Real Time Protection in MSE, the system is quiet when I load the tabs. However, there is no apparent slow down evident.
  18. Well if it had been working through a beta, and not in the finished product, then something DID change on purpose. And I'm not the guy you'll ever find defending Moonchild in any respect EVER Dencorso. I find him extremely dislikeable and arrogant, He treats forum users very questionably, and I would prefer not to reserve niceties for him.
  19. I'll try disabling MSE and see if there's a substantial improvement. As for "FrankenVista", the same approach towards Windows 8 seemed to provide a performance improvement for quite awhile. Then as of this year, my fortunes seems o dwindle. So I will update to a Decemvber 2017 baseline, and stop.
  20. Well the x64 build doesn't. Even if the x86 does, stilll to me, x64 is where it's at in 2018.
  21. However, it does NOT run on Vista, despite Moonchild previous;y saying that it should ....lol https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=19524&p=144409&hilit=vista#p144333 Ouch!
  22. https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=19524&p=144409&hilit=vista#p144333 Oooops! :p
  23. Oh wow! I was just about to extract it and try iy out. Well there's Roytam1's New Moon. It works! (Just tried it myself - yeppers, no workie!)
  24. Now Moonchild last stated limited compatibility with Vista during the Beta cycle. Moonchild never states explicitly that v28 doesn't work.
  25. Roytam1's version works on XP and Vista. I am still only running a beta, but I'll check out the latest one. :)
