    Good! I'm glad I could help. For Partition magic try looking at registry with maybe Hiren's Boot CD (contains Registry Editor PE that can open Registry of e.g. WinXP that is OFFLINE, just on disk). Maybe Partition magic registered some "Upper Filter" or "Lower Filter" in "Disk Driver" class (or some other "Class") - that is HKLM/System/ControlSet001/Contro/Class/4D36E967-... .

    One of the sites with the list of updates is: https://www.hpcfactor.com/support/cesd/200240/windows_nt_40_workstation_patches_updates_guide/ But the one that would help which I also do not have would be Q326643 (Ntfs.sys hotfix) that was listed on Erpman's website back when it still existed... I don't believe NT4.0 gains NTFS v3.1 access by any of updates, it just might not mess it up with that one. You could try disabling NTFS service (Start=4 in registry) and other services that are responsible for it but I don't know.

    Not to forget: A very interesting setup you got there. I like it. I had NT4.0 installed way back when on FAT16 (max. 2GB) partition and it ran normally. The problem is it will still be able to read/write your Win7 NTFS partition and make it slow. Have you installed any post-NT4.0 SP6(A) updates? Like the SP6(B) pak (Q299444i)? There are also ~38 updates after SP6A that can be installed to possibly fix NT4 to not mess with other disks.

    Thank you kindly. I have downloaded the new packages and updated my installations. P.S.: I have observed that as in any new version it's good to reset all the "media." variables in "about:config and then restart browser a few times. Makes youtube more fluent...

    @roytam1 I was on location this morning to update Serpent and disaster: 2026-06-27 build has got 2026-06-19 contents.

    Is there any way to bypass cloudcrap flare?

    It means the exploit exists in the wilderness that google created with their crap, I mean chrome. V 149 (their latest) was patched.
  8. modnar
    Looks like there is a new issue to patch: "Google is aware that an exploit for CVE-2026-11645 exists in the wild,...".

    Thank you. By the way I had to download it with Supermium, click on FreeAV.exe on site doesn't do anything in latest Serpent 52.9.

    I have searched for 22.03.01 version of Panda and everywhere I find only 22.03.05. I have 22.03.01 installed on my computers (via online installer when it was new) but never managed to find offline installer. @AstroSkipper Instead of your 21.x.x version, I believe 22.03.01 would also be fast on your computer. Would you help me find it? I just can't seem to locate it anywhere, including the archive.org.

    By the way - look at the kind of commercial/ad I see in both "My browser builds" and this topic.
  12. modnar
    I hope you don't mind, but I don't do google. Quite outrageous: startpage.com in latest Serpent 52.9 lists msfn.org as 14th find (on first page) but with unreadable characters, but I remember seeing similar some time ago and the duck lists it on the second page 1st place but with crap characters.

    Revert to 5-15 version till saturday...
  14. modnar
    It (XPx86 version) is the KB970158 - I know - I had POS Avast Anti-virus installed and it also contains this KB.

    Yeah, upon further testing (today) I too observed that no setting fixes the dumpster fire that is the new garbage collection patch that's been added by upstream and already thrown out. So we'll just gonna have to rough it till the next release. New finding: memory.low_physical_memory_threshold_mb seems to help work around the fiery dumpster on some sites; I set it to 1536. Check your "Physical memory" in "Task Manager". P.P.S.: I finally reverted to 5-15 version. :-/
  16. modnar
    Good too; instead of collecting garbage, it's a dumpster fire itself. P.S.: Is there a way one can disable it till saturday?

    With current defaults memory consumption by the basilisk.exe will go to even north of 1600K (which never went before) and CPU constantly at 25% (one whole core occupied) and browser completely unresponsive. I have observed that setting javascript.options.gc_on_memory_pressure to true ameliorates the memory problem (memory consumption stays at around 1000K), but no the CPU-one (I tried different settings, but haven't found one that worked). P.S.: This memory saving setting (javascript.options.gc_on_memory_pressure) is "true" by default in newer firefox versions (or so I have read).

    You're quite correct, I already deleted this extension from my installation. Sad too, because this latest version (2026-05-22) is super leaky, runs out of memory so fast (on imgur) and even if you just go to majorgeeks.com and then come here writing the reply is all choppy. What is being put in the water upstream?

    It is not 2x faster, but helps in the overall browsing experience - to bridge the gaps so to speak. Sadly it's not anymore listed in Mozilla Addons, yet it was there about a year ago; I got it thanks to the Internet Archive.

    Memory Fox (1.0) pluging improves browsing experience (smoother) with Serpent 52.9. Browser still becomes unusable/unresponsive @~1.3GB RAM usage (and one CPU core completely occupied).
  21. modnar
    It went fast here (~7.0MB/s).
  22. modnar
    Thank you both kindly for the explanation.
  23. modnar
    Another thing - as experiment I enabled the memory.free_dirty_pages . Would this be like the memory_saver option in Supermium/Chrome?
  24. modnar
    You can use this FF plugin, works on Serpent 52.9. I tested in on distrowatch.com, switched it to ON and just changed Windows NT 5.1 to Windows NT 9.1, so bastards can chew on high version that they crave so much.
  25. modnar
    Just a headsup - I have found it's best to set "Memory Saver" to "Maximum" instead of "Balanced" (at least in WinXP); same performance, disk handling more inline with WinXP capabilities (seen as much less fragmentation of files being written at the time of Chrome caching, e.g. anti-virus logs) and no more "Out of memory" tab crashes. You'll find the setting by going to (in address bar): chrome://settings/performance . P.S.: It worked the first day, not anymore the second, so I changed it back to "Balanced" (tab crash every so often).
