    Disk subsystem on XP can be fixed with custom drivers, that obey load order groups and their altitudes.

    Default XP filesystem means factory settings for file system in registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem - disable8dot3=0, win31=0, win95t=1. XP disk handling is quite rigid and doesn't really handle any tweaks well, therefore FSFilter Infrastructure group should be 04 and Filter group at 0b.

    Windows 7-10 doesn't always make that "System reserved" partition. When there is WinXP installed on E: (second partition on primary disk, secondary disk is D:) and you install Win "7" or "10" on C: or D: (partitions already existing and 4K-aligned) you'll get a normal installation without any hidden partitions created.

    In Serpent 52.9 wildberries don't work (checking indefinitely), vk works/shows (didn't log in), instagram works/shows (didn't log in).

    Maybe you're just too quick for the hardware - sometimes it takes a bit to show restore session button/option in "History". It's now faster than ever here after I balanced the FSFilter sub-system: I extend my dumpster fire remark to all Windows.

    You still haven't used the latest version? Restore session has never been broken here (that I would notice) and I do use it from time to time. Sometimes it just take a bit longer to load/show that button/option at the bottom of the start page or in "History" menu. --------------------------- As for that CSS nesting for those icons - I do read the news and if it is about dumpster fire that is Windows NT 6.x, so be it.

    While reading The Register about new Win11 "feature", I went to its Microsoft page and there (scroll down) linked_in, facebook and other socialist media icons are super-sized in 2025-03-27 version of Serpent 52.9.

    @Multibooter Please also delete the "Group" (file system) reg. file for Sbiedrv - it is not needed when XP filesystem is factory (no NTFSLastAccessUpdate tweak). I sent you PM about this...

    I would advise you to only use Spybot_Search_n_destroy_1.6.2 additions to hosts file and maybe a few specific others for particular programs that you add yourself.

    After a long time with Serpent (still my main browser) I finally installed Supermium (R7, ungoogled) due to its AVIF support and it works well and if you install "simple grey" theme, you get nice rounded tabs and good for eyes.

    Thank you.

    @roytam1 All mail programs' links are "404", please, correct them if you would.

    @basilisk-dev Might I bother you to implement AVIF image decompression into basilisk? Whilst it's google's nasty preference over the better JPEG-XL it's still useful to have all the sites working...
  15. modnar
    Thanks for that; I would still like @roytam1 to clarify the situation. Palemoon is said to be supporting JPEG-XL instead (I read on their page)? It would be mighty fine if both were supported though.
  16. modnar
    Is there any option AVIF format would be added to Serpent - apparently it's there to lower the size of images (better compression).

    videocardz.com also crashes sometimes - usually the first time, then it works (with Serpent version 2025-01-10). No biggie.

    I have used Avast since I long ago and AVG before that and Comodo in-between. Two days ago (2025-01-08) on my XPuSP4 (Harkaz) I have noticed AvastSVC using 1/3 of 1 core of my CPU (~8%) and forcing csrss service use the other 2/3 of 1 core (~17%), so I tried disabling updates (didn't work), reinstalling - worked for 1 day, the next day again heating the CPU. Interesting is that it does not do this on all XP machines (thankfully). I have no solution - only today I've found out about Avast team's stopping testing for WinXP, so for now I've installed 18.8 version of AVG (I have offline installation for both). We shall see how it works tomorrow. Update: looks like it will happen on all XP machines rather sooner than laterish - I have just had to uninstall Avast from another PC - here since it's a dual core, 50% CPU usage for nothing (~12% avastsvc and ~38% csrss service). :-( Update from AVG tomorrow: same problem; so I uninstalled it and installed Panda Free. Lightweight and works.

    Those are just phrases that mean little - any time is good time for the truth and problems can then easily be resolved. /digressing over :-)

    Whichever chip it is that has the Penryn core i.e. 45nm, has SSE4.1.
  21. modnar
    I'm not familiar with the situation - are they deliberately denying access to the UXP? By the way - Happy new year to all!

    New Serpent build hasn't been done since 11-30. Be polite! In an unrelated matter I've experimented with the apz.content_response_timeout a bit - to make content displaying more graceful instead of quitting. I've increased it first to 1000, then to 2000 then to 3000 just to be sure and it works. P.S.: 60000 is better. P.P.S.: apz.content_response_timeout to 30000 (from 400) network.http.response.timeout also to 30000 (from 300) These 2 are just workarounds for the poorly made webpage, that doesn't load images properly. Not recommended for a well made page like techpowerup.com. It doesn't show images properly when these 2 are not on factory values (e.g.: Forum topic "What are you playing?").

    I click on the address in Serpent 52.9 (latest) and it shows the picture normally and also zooms into it and back out.

    I would like to know why I do not see any ads anymore (e.g. on videocardz.com and linuxliteos.com) after updating root certificates with v1.6 of this tool... was my problem, then (as I've written in Roytam1's browser topic): Mighty fine! I've searched around and found this fine site: Cert_updates for legacy Windows - imported root and intermediate certificates and everything works correctly, e.g. Tomshardware site.
