    I just test, that your ntoskrn8.sys together with the files from Longhorn 5048 is

    downward compatible with i211 on the Asrock z370 k6 board.

    So, just now on this board runs ndis6 under XP SP3

    WOW, How to patch driver for the WinXP 64-bit?

    don't overwrite NewMoon 28 with NewMoon 27 files.

    I don't overwrite anything. I downloaded this:
    https://o.rthost.win/palemoon/palemoon-27.10.0.win64-git-20240316-081721a2da-xpmod.7z
    https://o.rthost.win/basilisk/basilisk52-g4.8.win64-git-20240224-3219d2d-uxp-b33b661414-xpmod.7z

    Test in VMware - fresh installed WinXP SP2 64-bit. Extract both files to C:\Program Files\palemoon and C:\Program Files\basilisk

    Browsers have separate folders in %appdata%\Moonchild Productions

    Unfortunately, the change of Windows NT 10.0 to Windows NT 5.2 did not help and Secure... appeared again :crazy:

    Changing the value to Chrome also does not help.

    When I have a Chrome setting and I delete cookies, I can enter the forum main page but when I try to log in, there is a Secure Connection Failed error :angry:

    If I remove the value general.useragent.override.elektroda.pl and cookies then always Secure Connection Failed appear but after restart browser possible enter to forum and log in and this only works for a moment about 3 clicks on the forum and Secure Connection...

    For now, the best option is UA:

    general.useragent.override.elektroda.pl
    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.2; rv:120.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/120.0

    There is no problem around one day or several hours.

    So, you used the Fx-120 based one; try to use as value of "general.useragent.override.elektroda.pl" just "Chrome" (without the " ") and report back

    The change OS value Windows NT 10.0 to Windows NT 5.2 in UA probably helped:

    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.2; rv:120.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/120.0

    I use it for some time and let you know.

    If the problem is still there, I will try to use "Chrome", and let you know.

    Thanks for showing interest :)

    64-bit code uses more memory, because it uses 64-bit words.

    Not true - it depends on the source code. Example 32-bit applications occupy more RAM than 64-bit versions:

    x64 C:\WINDOWS\system32\mspaint.exe > 7 660 KB
    x86 C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\mspaint.exe > 8 848 KB

    x64 BlueScreenView (NirSoft) > 4 748 KB
    x86 BlueScreenView (NirSoft) > 4 832 KB

    x64 C:\WINDOWS\system32\notepad.exe > 3 464 KB
    x86 C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\notepad.exe > 4 072 KB

    pagefile should not be disabled regardless the amount of RAM available

    Not true - this is what only some programs require, e.g. Adobe Photoshop or Supermium, and if we have a lot of RAM, you can turn off completely pagefile. I use WinXP SP2 64-bit for a long time on 4GB RAM with the pagefile turned off and nothing bad happens. I use it at once:

    • two Web browsers Serpent 52 and MyPal68 with multiple tabs opened
    • one virtual machine VMware with 1GB RAM guest
    • some opened documents in Notepad
    • some opened files in WinHex

    OK, Supermium x64 works on WinXP x64 but has disadvantages - I test on ThinkPad X61, C2D, 4GB RAM, HDD:

    • does not start the first time only the second
    • it starts for a long time, grinding the hard disk (I have HDD not SSD)
    • it consists of too much RAM
      7 tabs > ~2.06GB RAM
      Serpent 52 > 7 tabs > 680MB

    P.S. I have a pagefile disabled because I have 4GB RAM but apparently a Supermium requires a pagefile:

    [0217/134306.984:ERROR:main_dll_loader_win.cc(112)] Failed to load Chrome DLL from C:\Program Files\Supermium\121.0.6167.81\chrome.dll: The paging file is too small for this operation to complete. (0x5AF)

    ... But these two are supposed to really make a difference (i.e. considerably reduce RAM usage on XP) ONLY where the VC++2015-2019 redistributable (the last XP-compatible one was v14.28.29213.0) is already installed ;) :

    I have 64-bit versions rebased_dlls.zip and on WinXP 64-bit Supermium x64 I don't see the difference in using RAM. VC++ 2015-2019 14.24.28127
