    The main issues I have with it are that it closes the browser when you close the last tab, something that drives me absolutely mad!

    There is a request for this function, but no response from the developer yet: https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/328

    Also, I don't like the fact that there's no way to get bookmarks and external links to always open in a new tab

    To open links and bookmarks in a new tab, you need to click them with the middle mouse button. There is an extension that opens all links (not bookmarks) in a new tab: TabLink.

    Solved the problem with monochrome emoji on Windows 7 and display emoji on Windows XP using Twemoji for chrome extension.

    https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/twemoji-for-chrome/fopgafjdjlongoeblobbafbnapafcicg

    Emoji are downloaded online, so the extension itself is very small and does not use much memory.

    This is how it was on Win XP:

    This is how it was after installing the extension.

    • does not start the first time only the second
    • it starts for a long time, grinding the hard disk (I have HDD not SSD)
    • it consists of too much RAM

    1. Some systems have this problem but not all, can't figure out what the cause is yet.

    2. New versions of Chrome optimize for SSD, so it takes a long time to start on HDD, defragmentation speeds it up a bit, but it's still far away from the startup speed on SSD.

    3. Memory consumption is relatively small, depends on the amount of RAM, for example on a netbook with 1GB of memory after startup Chrome uses 300MB, but on a computer with 4GB of memory already 500MB. It also strongly depends on the number of installed extensions, for example one uBlock Origin uses 100MB of RAM. I tested on a similar computer, C2D E6700 4GB RAM, XP x64, 32 and 64 bit version of Supermium. 32 bit version is even a bit faster, but memory consumption is a bit less, so it is not necessary to use 64 bit version on x64 OS.

    We can't blame the CPU. 

    The processor is exactly what affects this. I have tested Supermium on many different computers, from a very low-end Atom to an i7, but the problems with freezing or inability to start have only occurred on a single-core processor. On one system it doesn't start at all, on another it starts, but every action causes the CPU to load at 100% for a long time. The developer is aware of this problem, maybe in future updates it will be solved.

    Unfortunatly the moment I try to do anything such as open settings in this browser running XP one of the chrome processes in its tree pegs my cpu to 98% making it unusable. I can kill it and chrom will continue to run but if i try anything it comes back.

    What kind of processor do you have? Single-core?

    It still doesn't explain why DXVA checker doesn't show the ancient XP era WMV (Windows Media Video) IDCT. It was and is a very common fomat.

    It shows, but it is not called WMV, but VC-1. I found (with great difficulty) a wmv video, this is what MediaInfio says:

    Format                                   : VC-1
    Format profile                           : MP@ML
    Codec ID                                 : WMV3
    Codec ID/Info                            : Windows Media Video 9
    Codec ID/Hint                            : WMV3
    Description of the codec                 : Windows Media Video 9

    It doesn't show H265 - HEVC MAIN Profile, WMV (Windows Media) IDCT and VP9  (limited). These are the first ones come to mind. All supported by your card.

    Most likely h265 only works on DXVA2, when I checked GTX950 on XP, there was no h265 support there either, although the video card itself supports both Main and Main10. Or it's a limitation of the driver, they just didn't add h265 support.

    That version requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6, however, you can edit the .config file and change .NETFramework,Version to v4.0, and it will run normally on Windows XP.

    Oops, for some reason the files from the 7+ version are in the folder. I've reuploaded the correct version. I found that it requires .Net 3.5 and C++ 2008.

    Reccomedation of Offline Language Translation Software Compatible with Windows XP

    It appears that many later versions than Power Translator 11 supported Windows XP.  It is not clear what is the last version produced or which is the best version to select.

    The system requirements for version 17 include Win XP. So it looks like all versions are supported. Too bad there's no trial version. And they also have this image on their site comparing translators, maybe you can find older versions of them that work on XP.

    I I best believe that they would be between:  English to or from Russian, German, Japanese, Spanish, Ukrainian, Arabic, and Chinese.

    Big list, and very diverse. Of the offline programs, probably only Power Translator in the World edition supports so many languages.

    Common languages have been around for a very long time.  I would have thought and hoped that that decent translation software would have been available long ago.

    The problem of all old translators is that the translation is word-for-word, i.e. each word is translated separately from the context of the whole sentence, so the translation is too "machine-like", it is difficult to read and even difficult to understand what is meant.

    If you choose something modern that works on Win 7, they make an offline translator for Firefox, but it only works on websites. DeepL is also for Win 7 and even the installed program requires internet to work.

    "The IO operation at logical block address 0x5bc5e0 for Disk 4 (PDO name: \Device\Scsi\SI31121Port5Path0Target0Lun0) was retried."

    Is that a Silicon Image SiI 3112? It's very old and even with 1TB disks it has problems. I had such a controller, 750GB disks worked without problems, but 1TB disks were sometimes lost. And if I connected both 750GB and 1TB disks at the same time, both were lost.

    Well, I have already tried to extract M115xp in C:\ and nothing, still the same :'(

    Sometimes you may see 2-3 chrome.exe processes in Task Manager, but the browser won't start. Then you should terminate the processes and try to start again. Sometimes you need to do this 3-4 times until the window finally appears.
