    I have observed that WinXP only handles 4k disks correctly (on all my motherboards, so no bluescreen after first restart, not S-ATA) when updated to (I use @harkaz's patch packs) Unofficial SP4 - that is up to 2014, I believe. Of course I put his EOS SP4 also - to get systems to 2019 state and the two contain many useful fixes besides the official updates.

    How updated is your Windows XP? Only SP3 or all updates till end of support (april 2014) or maybe also all of the extended support updates (2019)? I haven't tried GPT on XP yet, but what new disks I have with normal partitions, I can tell you that disk access is faster if partitions are aligned with disk's layout. I don't really worry about how BIOS recognises the disks, I have all of them on "Auto" and then I just align partitions (to cylinder for XP) with Minitool Partition Wizard.

    I believe you can avoid all such updates by not updating the OS and instead installing Simplix updated pack (on OS with SP1).

    New root certificates (4) from 28. 08. 2025. Edit: Corrected the date from 25. to 28. aug.

    Thank you for reply. I use the latest Serpent 52.9 (my main browser) and today it works fine. I guess it had nothing to do with Serpent now because I often run experiments with FSFilters on my machine to find the most optimum configuration and it must have been the filter cascade that triggered that or maybe not - root certificates might also have contributed: 28.8. are the newest and I did have the latest when I experienced this.

    Why does Serpent 52.9 show me small save-file windows when I visit tomshardware.com ?

    There is also an interview with David Cutler on Youtube that tells why XP is such a mess.

    Thank you, roytam1 for the new release! You could try Supermium until Serpent 52.9 can work with Paypal. In its installer I choose "Create shortcuts for Supermium" and "Enable Ungoogled Supermium mode in shortcut" and better for eyes I installed "simple grey" theme from store. BTW - what was mentioned as a reason for BSOD with chrome back then?
  9. modnar
    Yes, they are quite slow to load or respond in Serpent 52.9 too.

    @roytam1 Thank you for the update! Also: boc-uxp/mailnews link does not work (404). There are two referer settings, network.http.referer.XOriginTrimmingPolicy and network.http.referer.trimmingPolicy, both set to 0 in my Serpent 52.9 - should both be 2? Edit: network.http.sendRefererHeader is default at 2 though - isn't that enough? :-)
  11. modnar
    CAupdater alone should be enough.

    You know it has to resemble the colour of their souls.

    Local flea market site ( http://www.bolha.com/ ) must have been changed or modernized - too much for Serpent 52.9 6-21 and one version before, 5-31. I'd say Serpent is missing some functionality? It can still be navigated though...

    Works normally here without any changes to the Serpent 52.9 05-28.

    Thank you for such an exhaustive article for our elderly WinXP.
