One more thing I'd like to mention is that during the install, when you are presented with the choices you can make as to how it will install, there is one check box that says "Do Not Modify Registry". It's probably not a good idea to check this box as Supermium fools websites into thinking you are running Windows 10 or 11 with Chrome.. Don't know how performance might be affected if you do check that box. Also, what I can see from the files it installs, runniing Supermium "ungoogled" or in Classic v60 are modes that are switched using script shortcuts. You will see them in the directory as Supermium (ungoogled,) and Supermium (classic). There might be different entry points in the executable that accomplishes this.

My Pentium D runs @ 3Ghz and that might explain why performance on my computer is better. I'm happy with it.

It's good performance after the first run. First run sets up a bunch of stuff on your computer (files/folders) and that slows it down a little bit. After that it's alright. And yes, YouTube works like you'd expect. There is a performance setting in settings. If you have ever used Chrome it's pretty much the same layout and should be familiar to you.

I think NOTHEARTOPLAYGAMES has answered your portable question. The version I downloaded is the 132 etc, etc version. I just picked the 32 bit version for XP but didn't notice if there was a portable version. . I suggest you try it. The first time I installed it I chose the "ungoogled" version. Problem was that eliminates Google as being one of the search engines you can make as the default. Since I regularly use Google for searching, I uninstalled it and re-installed it without checking the "ungoogled" mode. There is no "ungoogled" version of Supermium. It is a choice you make during the install.

Probably not the first to post about Supermium but it's great. Tried K-Meleon but it didn't work right for many websites. Tried MyPal but never could get it to run. Always blew up on start with the message MyPal has caused an error in kernel32.dll......MyPal will now close. Still have and was using Firefox 45.9 and it did pretty well with the exception that on some websites, such as this one, clicking on a button wouldn't work and many websites I had to make a security exception for Firefox to load the page. But Supermium is letting me go anywhere I usually go with no problems. Everything is displayed correctly and every button works. I'm very impressed and hope the developers (I know its a modified version of Chromium) keep it up to date for any future changes to the way browsers work. My system is an HP Pavilion Media Center with dual-core Pentium D processors running XP Pro SP3 on the one drive and XP Pro Media Center Edition on the other. Very handy to have parallel installations. Anyway hats off to those who work on Supermium. Great job!

There is one thing that came to mind about MyPal 68 and that was it's SSE2. But after checking the specs, the Intel Pentium D Dual Core, which is in my system, is not only SSE2 but also SSE1, SSE3 and MMX compatible so that's not it. ????

Thanks for that info. So there is a reason why there is such a lag before Windows is fully functional. I'll try your suggestion.

Been trying to get MyPal going but I keep getting a MyPal can't continue error in kernel32. This in on XP SP3. It does create the folders "mypal" in both My Documents and Settings\Application Data and in Local Settings\Application Data under my account but then blows up. What's wrong?

@N It's the RealTek installation disc that comes with the adapter. @B Maybe that's it. Using Windows to install the driver get's me the "Available Wireless Networks" screen but when I click on my network and click the connect button nothing happens, it doesn't connect. But I did notice the button on the bottom of that window for Wireless Zero Configuration but didn't know what that meant so I didn't click it. Is that what I'm supposed to do? . When I use the RealTek install disc everything works but I get that long lag before Windows is fully functional. Maybe I just have to live with that?

Anybody else have the problem of installing a usb wi-fi adapter in XP? After the install, with the RealTek software, the BIOS screen locks up on boot and restart. I have to remove it from the usb port to get past that. And when windows starts up there is about a 2 minute delay before Windows is functional. I'm running XP SP3. Have tried letting Windows install it without the RealTek software and it does install it but something is missing as I cannot connect to the server. Have tried 3 different usb wi-fi adapters but the results are the same. Anyone know what's going on?

Thanks. I downloaded 2 of the above but have a feeling they are ones I've already tried. But we'll see.

Every time I try to install .net Framework 1.1 I get the following error message. Are there some prerequesites that are neccessary that I don't have installed? This is on XP Pro SP3. Error 1935.An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.Vsa.Vb.CodeDOMProcessor,Version="7.0.5000.0",PublicKeyToken="b03f5f7f11d50a3a",Culture="neutral",FileVersion="7.10.3052.4"'.

Does anyone know where I can get this download as an offline install? All I'm finding are IEXpress setups which I've tried and they don't work because they want to go to MS website to complete and that webpage doesn't exist anymore. Would like to install it on ME and XP and XP Media Center. Thanks.

Just simply turned the computer on and the 2 drives connected to a RAID controller card started clicking. Turned the computer off immediately. Know that sound isn't good. They are both WD300BB-75DEA0. The one I don't care about. The other I do. It's got 10 years of programming on it. A complete auto dealership management system. Found another place that may have a solution. They have equipment that can retrieve information off of even a severely damaged drive. I have to contact them for details.

Thanks. Don't know if you know who Gillware is but they are a data recovery service that has a burnishing machine. The problem they said that prevented them from attempting recovery was that the platten had pieces of the magnetic coating chipped off. So even if they burnished it, it would still have places that would have little (nano) craters. That's why I was asking where the hard drive parks the head. If its at the hub, then it would probably sweep across the disk to the outer edge and would probably catch on one of those craters and make things worse. One idea I had would be to spray coat the whole disk with something that could then be burnished off leaving the craters filled even with the original magnetic coating. Similar to what car paint specialists do to repair chips in your cars paint.
