  1. Steam relies on an embedded version of chrome to function, newer versions don't work on xp/vista. I'd assume when 1 Jan rolls around they'll remove it. We're screwed then. Unless, of course, one could just transplant the old chrome back?
  2. Works on XP x64, no surprises here... and yes... I do verify that java not only installs but functions, too!
  3. I'll go check. It probably will, they're both NT 5.2 x64 codebase. Edit: This may take a while... I need to download the installer and I have awful satellite internet with no other ISP options while everyone else on my road has fast cable...
  4. Somehow my friend managed to install Java 8u181 on Server 2003 Enterprise x64 SP2 without any hiccups, with the normal java installer. I cannot replicate this on XP, but it works for me as well on 2003. What is different between XP and 2003 that would cause this problem?
  5. Yeah, the font seems cleaner now! Although it has shrunk, hasn't it? Also: Whats with the quote button? Seems off-centered... Browser is New Moon 27.8

    Hello

    Hi! Welcome to MSFN! Remember, you're never too old to learn new things.
  7. @Monroe I actually don’t have f.lux on my iPhone. I mean in the control center there’s the screen brightness slider, and if I press and hold, i can access Night Shift, apple’s built-in blue light filter. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207570 Back when I had my droid, I used an app called Nightowl, which would dim the screen further than android would normally let you, and filter the blue light. Android (at least version 6) doesn’t have such a feature automatically built in like apple does. ...but yeah, there’s a slider in f.lux to control the dimming, as you found out
  8. I use f.lux on most of my devices, and I found that I do sleep better than without it. Not to mention reduced eyestrain is nice. On my iPhone if I press and hold the brightness slider I can activate “Night shift” mode which filters the blue light.
  9. Ah yes, the Bad Old Days of the capacitor plague. Evidently this one is still going strong. I wonder how the caps look. Speaking of failures, I went to a hardware store recently and their inventory computer's (With Windows 7, booo...) PSU fan was not spinning. I'm 99.999% sure based on the amount of dust on the fan and the generic look of the PSU that it was an "always on" fan control system. Needless to say, those caps Inside are going to get broiled.
  10. Don't worry. I'll certainly be back there. I go through spray lubricant, oil, and carb cleaner like crazy with all the small engine projects I take up. The 745 still doesn't look to have the specific slot design I mentioned, but I will certainly look at the model next time I am there.
  11. I think you may be right. An Iconic working-class computer. The rear of the computer sports a parallel port, and on a breakout board, there was a serial port and PS/2 port. None of which were in use. Looks to be a Pentium sticker, I think it's too light to be core2duo. EDIT: After looking up pictures of the rear, I don't believe this is a 760. this particular computer has a single half height slot (where the breakout is) and to the right of that it has two horizontal full height slots.
  12. Windows XP has been spotted at the auto parts store in town: They have several systems set out on their counter, and this is the only one running XP. The rest of them run what I think must be Windows 8 Embedded. It has classic theme applied to taskbar, but windows title bars look Windows 8-ish
  13. Welcome to MSFN, Xack!
  14. Don't hold your breath. The 10 series barely works in Vista (it doesn't work with DirectX properly), and Vista is way closer to Windows 7 than XP.
  15. I just activated Publisher 2002 for Windows using the internet just fine...
  16. Avast gave notice that starting in 2019 XP&vista will get definition updates ONLY: https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=220639.0
  17. I know @XP-x64-Lover had mentioned before the forum crash that he was trying. his post read: I wonder if xp x64 lover has made any progress?
  18. I can also confirm that it should work. It would probably work with any pcie revision slot, maybe slower on rev1. But you have rev3
  19. You're probably fine. Although I suppose anything is possible.
  20. Thats very amusing, a MS product using google's browser, even Microsoft admits IE/edge is trash
