  1. On my trip to Canada my dad had to renew his fishing license, and they had an XP running for their database access website. Sorry, no picture, there was like 5 people in the way.

    Also I went to Canadian Tire, and while there was no XP in sight, there was some interesting stuff.

    An IBM Dumb terminal!

    Looks like it's connecting to a mainframe (or something emulating one) to manage inventory

    Also I found an Dell OptiPlex 740 stuck at the BIOS screen, almost looks like a good chance it could have XP on it

    And, finally, a price checker running what appears to be an XP-era version of windows CE

    Well, you will need to provide a range for "reasonable", my previous suggestion would have led to a random price between 1 and 100, what is your reasonable range? (so that we can remove some numbered balls from the sack ;))

    Seeing as for me this would just be a convenience, I would say $10-$20. but for some people it might be more significant and they would pay more.

    What exactly does that do? :P

    It can "spoof" apps to see a higher windows version.

    From a quick search it appears to be for W2K and I haven't seen any results about Vista, but I'll be intrigued to try it when I get Vista installed here. 

    It was indeed developed for win2k, but it can spoof win 7/8 so it's still useful on vista.

    And another question: has it been tested with iTunes (any version that'll work with iOS 11)?

    I think it was tried, but I'm not sure. You can certainly try.

    If you want to see how I used this, (albeit, on XP/2000, but the principle is the same) look here:

     

  4. Using this method will allow it to work on windows 2000 (with extended kernel) as well, however you must run fcwin2k on yandexdisk.exe in the program folder once it has been installed, as well as the installer when you first install it.

    I highly recommend changing the setting to use the classic menu, click the gear, then settings, then advanced.

    New menu causes severe system instability on Win2000 it seems

    Aside from that, it works, however it does seem to crash occasionally, at the most random of times.

    I'm wondering this change also affects users on SeaMonkey and any Mozilla products that use the Gecko 52 codebase? :(

    Seamonkey I know will be discontinued for xp/vista. Other mozilla browsers? probably.

    How am I going to find these legacy extensions for anyone who has been stuck using Firefox 12/10.0.12 ESR on Windows 2000, Firefox 2.0.0.20 on Windows NT4/98/Me as well as Firefox 1.5.12 on Windows 95/NT 3.51?

    keep your eye on this:

  6. For myself I use Clamwin (Super lightweight, quite a few false positives, no real-time scanning, however there is ClamSentinel add-on for that) and a couple of portable AV scanners from time to time (for example Trend Micro HouseCall or Kaspersky scanner)

     

    For any family/friend/client I use Avast (realtime can be shut off if one wants), whether it's XP/Vista or something newer.

    I am getting notifications that there is a Java 8 Update 181 available, even though I manually updated using @dencorso's method.

    Any ideas? I overwrote all the old files and the folder name is correct. Is there a package receipt or something that I need to update? Add/Remove Programs is still showing the "old" version.

    Including the Registry edits?

    As Jody pointed out, simply use Roytam1's version of Pale Moon called New Moon... it's basically the same as Pale Moon except XP/Vista support has been restored. I'm not giving up on Vista anytime soon, either. :yes:

    This part is actually pretty easy to get around by modifying the application executable with blackwingcat's PEMAKER program, which allows you to change the minimum OS version number requirement from 6.1 to 6.0, which uplifts the "not a valid Win32" restriction.

    However, this alone is not enough to allow the browser to run in Windows Vista, as additional DLL functions from Windows 7+ are required:

    Also, according to @i430VX's post here, August 21 will mark the end of support for Firefox 52 ESR. Since this is only days away and Firefox 52.9.0 has yet to receive an update, I'd say it's safe to assume that Firefox 52 will no longer receive security updates from this point forward. For this reason, I have listed Firefox 52.9.0 as the final version for Windows Vista. If a minor update is released between now and August 21, I will update the entry to include it, but I wouldn't count on it. 

    I've made several changes to the list, which I'll outline in the upcoming sum of changes soon. :)

    They changed it, again... back to 5 sep... :roll1:
