Absolutely not!

MTP works on Windows XP if you have the required prerequisites installed and know some tricks. No device specific driver is required.

Two links to Font Awesome 4.7.0: https://fontawesome.com/v4.7.0/assets/font-awesome-4.7.0.zip - just the release material, includes installable TTF/OTF font files https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/releases/tag/v4.7.0 - downloadable snapshot of the entire Font Awesome repository on GitHub Forum looks fine with those installed and remote fonts disabled.

The latest version is 2.0.65f, you have some version in the 2.0.57 branch, judging from the crash report. From the website, it's not clear whether they re-release same versions and just add a letter when they change something minor. Changelog Download

I use Open-Shell with a taskbar texture found in the last post of this topic on Classic Shell forum. In the settings on the Taskbar tab, besides setting Taskbar texture and pointing it to downloaded image, Vertical stretching must be set to Tile, otherwise, the border is missing. Obviously, Customize taskbar must be enabled for settings here to work and you'll probably want to tweak Taskbar look and Taskbar opacity as well.

Try the latest version. The described issue does not seem to occur on Windows 7 x64, though it does on Windows XP x86. I doubt they test on anything else besides Windows 10 x64.

You took 1st January, I took 12th January. The converter you linked converts to local time, you need UTC time.

You have to convert milliseconds to hex with a converter such as this one. Input the number, enable Raw Hexadecimal option then Convert. The hexadecimal result has to be read backwards, so if you get: 42|80|14|55|20|C0|00|00 You need to replace the original hex string with: 00|00|C0|20|55|14|80|42 Vertical bars added for clarity.

The big update occurred several days ago. You think there was another software update recently rather than just someone messing with the settings behind the scenes?

Alright, they're back in a different spot and only visible to logged in users.

This works!

Looks like the flags issue is back. The popup with the country name still shows when you hover over where the flag is supposed to be.

I don't know what the heck changed, but few days ago, I connected my desktop to a laptop via Ethernet cable, I used the Ethernet port of the onboard network adapter and it worked...still works today, though AI NET 2 reports status Short for pairs 4-5 and 7-8, but it can still work in 10/100 mode. Is it possible that I somehow ended up with 2 bad cables, considering different length (where the fault occurs) reported for 2 cables' problematic pairs that I have, which would make one assume the circuitry still works? I haven't actually tried the other cable since the one used initially started working. I find it strange that the other cable didn't work back then, it looks good as new, and was pretty much left alone all the time back when it was still in use years ago.

Does it? Do OpenGL applications work? Last time I checked, the driver DLL was incompatible, so it falls back to GDI software rendering. Not much works with that due to lack of features and it's very slow. Vista is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things and nobody tests on it, so some things broke even before it was declared as unsupported.

Look for ISO image of VMware Tools version 10.3.10. This is the last one without functional regressions on Vista AFAIK.

I also have performance problems, for instance blurring effect on this site when you open the form for adding attachment is really laggy and so are fullscreen videos. I have to try and see if it's this bad with UXP browser forks if I disable HW acceleration. Also can't access my bank's site for some reason. After I select the certificate, I get some chinese error about the problem with connection or something. I haven't tried the stable version yet. I read about some people using WineD3D to get HW acceleration working in Chromium based browsers on XP. Anyone tried that and which version? Not ideal but who knows, might be better than without acceleration at all. This browser has support for NPAPI plugins, which is nice. So far, I only saw Flash Player in action. Edit: Can't compare this anymore since the forum software update removed the blurring.

I wouldn't touch that. There's an EOL timestamp in recent versions of Flash Player. It can be altered so latest Flash Player continues to work as usual. Find a hexadecimal string 000040463E6F7742 in NPSFWXX_32_0_0_465.dll (XX = bitness, either 32 or 64) with a hex editor, replace it with eg. 0000C02055148042, that will just change the year from 2021 to 2040. It's a unique string, so only one will be found as long as you got the right file. The string represents time elapsed since Unix epoch in milliseconds, stored as 64-bit double precision float number (no fractional part). The DLLs are in: C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash - 64-bit Flash on 64-bit OS or 32-bit Flash on 32-bit OS C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash - 32-bit Flash on 64-bit OS This is for NPAPI version, but should be doable with PPAPI and ActiveX versions as well, though I haven't tried those. Doing this obviously invalidates the digital signature on the DLL. Pale Moon (and probably other browsers) doesn't mind. I wonder if Flash app could check it. Also, PE checksum is invalidated, but that can be fixed with certain tools. I think there's a high probability that altering Flash binaries doesn't cause any side effects beyond what modifications you did achieve.

I somehow overlooked that Show button. Status I get in chrome://gpu: I only disabled HW accelerated video decoding to see if it still tries to load related DLLs. While nothing about that is in the log, the browser is linked against Direct3DCreate9Ex. Maybe that is implicit dependency required even for WebGL rendering via pure OpenGL. because it wasn't coded for the case of the said function being missing. Yeah, that adds the uninstaller and the shortcut in start menu, but... ...that's a workaround, but it's not proper. It's not exactly unusual to expect proper installation to store data in user-specific folder of the user who launched the program.

Just to be clear, I'm referring to buttons that are added by extensions and can be hidden by right-clicking on a button->Hide button. Some Chromium based browsers put hidden buttons in the menu where most other options are found and where they can be put back on the toolbar (unhidden), but in this one, they're just gone. I actually just found an answer to this question. It seems to require modifying User Data\Default\Preferences file with a text editor. First, you have to open the list of extensions and enable developer mode to be able to see the extensions' IDs. Search the Preferences file for the ID of the extension which button you've hidden in the past, you'll know you've found what you're looking for when you see something like: "bijpdibkloghppkbmhcklkogpjaenfkg": { "active_permissions": { "api": [ "clipboardRead", "clipboardWrite" ], "manifest_permissions": [ ], "scriptable_host": [ "\u003Call_urls>" ] }, "browser_action_visible": false, "commands": { }, "browser_action_visible" is the key, change the false nearby to true and save it. Obviously do this while the browser is closed.

OK. Yeah, CUDA is usable on XP, at least I know that decoding works for sure. PotPlayer offers an option to use it. Encoding should also work, nvEncodeAPI.dll / nvEncodeAPI64.dll are present, though I don't have any software to put them to use.

Thought this belongs here https://bitcheese.net/web_browsers_must_die

Is it possible to compile FFMpeg with CUDA support?

3 questions: How to unhide the hidden extension buttons? Does the original Chinese version store user data per-user, so not under installation folder? If so, is there a switch in chrome.dll or somewhere else to disable portable mode? Is it possible to get any kind of hardware acceleration working in XP? I tried enabling it in Settings, activated Override software rendering list flag, set Choose ANGLE graphics backend flag to OpenGL and still nothing, even WebGL is rendered only in software. Using Russian repack, version 13.0.2182.0.

Classic Shell appeared not long after Windows 7 was released and supported both 7 and Vista. No Start menu that came from Redmond is as customizable as newer versions of Classic Shell / Open Shell. I would've used it in place of Windows XP's menu as well.

Thanks, but at this point, I'd be content with contentment, though even contentment seems way out of my reach. It was spooky. Didn't realize it was an earthquake at first, thought my brain was messing with me. Feeling of shaking ground below is quite unpleasant.
