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. :)

Now let's try a smilie on New Moon. :) - Nope didn't work. so New Moon v28 has a compatibility issue! Pooh! -
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. :)

Server 2008 Updates on Windows Vista
Jody Thornton replied to Jody Thornton's topic in Windows Vista
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. -
My Browser Builds (Part 1)
Jody Thornton replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
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. -
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!

I was using the Qdownloader site. It seems to work most of the time, without a plugin. -

Has anyone figured out the YouTube glitch, where the circling arrow spins, until you press pause. Then when you press play - it works! -
Server 2008 Updates on Windows Vista
Jody Thornton replied to Jody Thornton's topic in Windows Vista
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. -
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? :)

@Roytam1 and @GTAGAME I really didn't realize that production versions were not ported. But now I know. :) -

Server 2008 Updates on Windows Vista
Jody Thornton replied to Jody Thornton's topic in Windows Vista
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. -
Server 2008 Updates on Windows Vista
Jody Thornton replied to Jody Thornton's topic in Windows Vista
@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. -
My Browser Builds (Part 1)
Jody Thornton replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
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. -
Server 2008 Updates on Windows Vista
Jody Thornton replied to Jody Thornton's topic in Windows Vista
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. -

Well the x64 build doesn't. Even if the x86 does, stilll to me, x64 is where it's at in 2018. -

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! -

Now Moonchild last stated limited compatibility with Vista during the Beta cycle. Moonchild never states explicitly that v28 doesn't work.
