    @TechnoRelicI will try that when I get home. :)

    Has anyone figured out the YouTube glitch, where the circling arrow spins, until you press pause. Then when you press play - it works!

    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. :)
  6. Jody Thornton
    See Guys? I told you there were holes in this OS! Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa! (kidding! kidding!)
  7. Jody Thornton
    @roytam1. I hear you. I'm looking forward to v28 Final from you. :) A nice going away Vista present ....lol

    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.

    @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.

    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.

    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.
  12. Jody Thornton
    Well the x64 build doesn't. Even if the x86 does, stilll to me, x64 is where it's at in 2018.
  13. Jody Thornton
    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!

    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!)
  16. Jody Thornton
    Now Moonchild last stated limited compatibility with Vista during the Beta cycle. Moonchild never states explicitly that v28 doesn't work.
  17. Jody Thornton
    Roytam1's version works on XP and Vista. I am still only running a beta, but I'll check out the latest one. :)
  18. Jody Thornton
    Well I'm back to a March 2018 system (minus the the updates for Spectre/Meltdown), and I still have .NET 2x and IE9 updates until August. New Moon's QuickDial page "could" be loading faster, and Windows Mail seems like it might be a bit spiffier. But it's hard to really tell. I wonder if there's a more surefire way to test performance between updates. One thing. uTorrent v2.2.1 seems to close gracefully, whereas recently, I wasn't able to get uTorrent out of RAM complete until I restarted the system. Now it seems to close properly. Hmmmmm! This lends a LOT more credence to @NoelC's findings on Windows 8x slowdowns from recent updates. Makes me wonder if I should uninstall back to January (ensuring December 2017 updates are the last ones)
  19. Jody Thornton
    OK so I'm uninstalling all updates back to April 2018 (all the while keeping IE9 and .NET 2.0 patches within that time period). I'll let you know how it goes. :)
  20. Jody Thornton
    Now that's concerning. I thought that perhaps (anecdotally) performance felt a tad slower. Perhaps I should try uninstalling the updates after March, just to see.
  21. Jody Thornton
    I was unaffected by this on v28. I'm glad I switched. :)
  22. Jody Thornton
    Seems to be working just fine now. However, is it just me, or has the font shrunk ever so slightly? :)
  23. Jody Thornton
    Well not necessarily. I have considered setting up my soon to be deprecated Vista machine as an audio editing workstation, and on it I would have installed Windows XP x64 Edition (which ran exceptionally on it). I have all of the updates the @Thrawn hosted on his site, so no need to even connect to the Internet (or even install the Vista/7 x64 version of MSE. And that OS only has extended updates until July 2015. So I suppose you could keep running it. Plus now that @Roytam1 has New Moon available, you have fairly modern browsing available.
  24. Jody Thornton
    Haaaaaaa! By the way, how long do you guys have with these updates? January 2019? What's next?
  25. Jody Thornton
    So I've downloaded (but not installed) the Security-Only Update KB4343896, the Flash Update KB4343902, the IE10 Cumulative Update KB4343205, and the .NET Security-Only Update KB4344172. Next month I'll be migrating my data over to my newer HP xw8600 PC with a fresh installation of Windows 8, but I have to admit, upon hearing @NoelC and his observations on post December 2017 updates, I'm concerned about installing them (and by that I mean even non-Spectre and non-Meltdown updates). Also there are indications that my skipping a month of updates (in order to bypass those mitigations) may impair stability. so I have a lot to consider.
