    My Browser Builds (Part 5)

    in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes

    Posted · Edited by reboot12

    @VistaLover

    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

    Serpent v52.9.0 (2023-10-19) (64-bit) on WinXP SP2 64-bit, elektroda.pl - Secure Connection Failed

    I found https://msfn.org/board/topic/184051-my-browser-builds-part-4/?do=findComment&comment=1257317

    but this probably works only if you are not logged. Today I did it:

    • I added UA in about:config > general.useragent.override.elektroda.pl
    • I removed elektroda.pl cookies
    • I logged

    It worked well for several hours, but this message finally appeared again - Secure Connection Failed :crazy:

    If I remove the cookies, log in, it's ok again for a few hours.

    Sysprep WinXP SP2 64-bit on pure UEFI - V3

    in Windows XP 64 Bit Edition

    to prevent future errors in the respective driver

    I don't understand what future errors ???

    There will never be any errors. You implement the WinXP in my way (FlashBoot + vga.sys) and then you can install the right driver - if you have for WinXP using the Device Manager.

    Anyway the correct graphics card driver can also be implemented immediately using sysprep - see my instruction SysprepV2

    Copy driver files to the Drivers\Video folder and add the path in the sysprep.inf file in OemPnPDriversPath: 

    ;SetupMgrTag
[Unattended]
    OemSkipEula=Yes
    OemPnPDriversPath=Drivers\Chipset;Drivers\Video
    ConfirmHardware=No
    DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore
    OEMPreinstall=Yes
    UpdateInstalledDrivers=Yes

    When I wrote the instruction SysprepV2, I did not know that there was a loader FlashBoot.

    P.S. In WinXP 32-bit there is no such thing as the vga service and vgapnp.sys driver - there is only VgaSave service and vga.sys driver. In WinXP 64-bit Microsoft has unnecessarily added the vga service which introduces only confusion.
