    Right @NoelC, but you also installed the March 2018 update which contained the Spectre/Mentldown mitigations, and you disabled the mitigations with a third party tool of some sort. so I wonder if their being present in the system still causes an issue. Whereas, I plan to skip that month's security only update completely, installing only IE, Flash and .NET patches. For Vista, I skipped the mitigations from Server 2008, but I wonder if something is slowing my system, or if it's just an anecdotal impression I get. Hard to say.

    So here's my question to @NoelC and @dencorso. If DON'T install either the March of April 2018 update (whichever the one is with the Spectre/Meltdown crap in it - and I have that labelled as such at home), and then I DO install all of the other security-only updates to July 2018, do you think that I will reap the performance degradation that NoelC is experiencing? I'm talking about that 8% that's nagging at him. Secondly, remember I was mentioning about updating backwards to minimize Component Store Bloat and redundancy. Well we know that with Windows 8, I have post EOL updates from Server 2012 that I use from after January 2016. My amended path of updating is this, so see if this is rational: Install Windows 8 x64 Pro Start with the newest post-EOL Server 2018 updates (say July 2018). Install each month's update going backwards, going all the way back to February 2016, !!!! AND SKIPPING WHATEVER MONTH HAS THE SPECTRE/MELTDOWN PATCH !!!! Now install all of the remaining valid Windows 8 updates that were originally offered by Microsoft automatically. (pre-EOL) Would that cause any system instability. I know I'll be prompted to skip (or else not be offered) updates that are not valid or superseded.

    Well my June updates overwrote my patched UX Theme files. So I had to revert to a Classic Theme (until that point, I had various desktop elements overtop of a black screen). Then I re-patched my theme files, and reapplied my Media Center visual styles - Good Times!

    I'm glad you enjoyed that Dencorso ....lol :p

    I have bravely gone where no man has gone before (only because no else uses Vista ....lol), but I have installed the update for July. Nothing blue up. My system works.

    Hmmmm for IE9 x64, I have KB4339093 All of the regular updates are simpatico. the only .NET update I install is for the integrated 2x/3x build, so I have KB4338611. I never saw the registry patch.
  7. Jody Thornton
    I have downloaded the latest Server 2012 updates, and although I won't be installing this month, here's the rundown: Security Only (KB4338820) IE10 (KB4339093) .NET v4.52 Security Only (KB4338601) Flash (KB4338832) Cheers All! :)

    I'll be along in the morning with the list of Vista-compatible updates I have just downloaded. but now time for sleep! :)
  9. Jody Thornton
    Thanks Dencorso. I thought I was losing my mind (or else New Moon 28 was)
  10. Jody Thornton
    Your link does not work :(
  11. Jody Thornton
    Right so that was the last one I got. Is there a newer one you have submitted? I'm checking now. EDIT: Nevermind ....lol - I see it. Downloading now :)

    Oh so the one with the updated New Tab page is Beta? (as in palemoon-28.0.0a4.win64-git-20180623-f58362790-xpmod.7z) Sorry it's so confusing ....lol
  13. Jody Thornton
    But not @roytam1's
  14. Jody Thornton
    What changed in about:config?
  15. Jody Thornton
    I've been running the v28 Sneak Peak (not the last release, but the one before). It was the last one to show the old newtab page without the search bar. Is there any way to resotre this page on the upcoming beta? It uses smaller thumbnails, and I prefer it. Also I find YouTube vids only work if I stop the video (during the load process) and play it again. Otherwise, it just keeps loading. Great work Roytam!

    Very detailed analysis VistaLover. I thought it was claimed to be incompatible on their end, but couldn't be 100%. Very confusing. I'll trust my memory from now on. :)

    So here's what we know. Roytam1's builds of New Moon 28 x64 work and can use MP4 codecs out of the box. But Pale Moon 28 Beta does NOT work at all, despite Moonchild saying to the contrary. :o
  18. Jody Thornton
    But does the MP4 codecs work without installing LAV codecs? Has anyone tried? I know that Roytam1's v28 builds work.
  19. Jody Thornton
    So where was it defined (and it was) that UXP wound NOT work under Vista? Because it seemed to create a lot of FUD.
  20. Jody Thornton
    It appears Vista WILL run Pale Moon 28 according to Moon-Marcus. https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=19524 Go figure. Now just to get codecs working in the x64 version.
  21. Jody Thornton
    Seems Moonchild has different ideas on Pale Moon 28 support for Vista. https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=19524 It appears now that (despite features being limited on Vista) that Pale Moon 28 WILL run. Perhaps Basilisk won't, but Pale Moon will. Now I'd like to find a way to get MP4 codecs works on the x64 production version. :(
  22. Jody Thornton
    So that means a beta 28 now for New Moon? Maybe? LOL I was going to say that v28 has improved Pale Moon A LOT
  23. Jody Thornton
    I just wanted to say I found this thread very refreshing. ooops!

    I've been running the New Moon 28 Sneak Peek for a few days now. I upgraded to the last build from a day or so ago, but the New Tab Page changed a tad (it added a Search bar like Australis builds did and increased the size of thumbnails). I went back to the previous v28 build and that's running great. Apparently, the v27 builds now work again with Facebook, but I find that v28 works so well, that I'm going to stay put. :)
