My Browser Builds (Part 3)
Rod Steel replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
I have different question about mail: What of Roytam1 many programs are mail client and can it make export\transition from Outlook Express 6 and look similar to it? -
The main target of updating BIOS is supporting Core2 Duo. I'm not so sure about 4GB RAM. I remember that some notebooks from same era (and same chipset) did need BIOS update to support 4GB ram. Specifically Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Xi1546 was the same model as some Alienware notebook (just different logos, stickers and BIOS). So Fujitsu-Siemens BIOS was stuck at 2GB max, but updating to Alienware BIOS there was 4GB RAM unlocked possibility, which was comical. But i see no evidence that BIOS update will bring you 4GB possibility. However it will unlock much faster 64-bit Core2Duo. I update BIOS on many things including: notebooks, All-in-One computers, motherboards, SSD, and even DVD-RAM drives! So my experience is telling me to save your current bios, so, maybe, you could return to it, if new bios will be worse to you. You can use bios saving and update programs, my favorite from that era is WinFlash 1.94 - i saved many old bioses (and returned to them) using that program. I don't know if it compatible to your notebook, cause it have AMI bios, you can Check Soggi's archive about updating bios on vintage systems. I found topic about your laptop: Official S96S Owners Lounge as you can see on link not everyone like BIOS update, cause it make notebook more noisy (probably more aggressive fan settings, cause Core2Duo is more hot then it predecessor). I recommend to read that topic - maybe you will find something interesting. Even that you bring speed results in text which is hard for me to decode (i asked screens). It is obvious to me that ASUS laptop work with SSD in SATA-1 (150) mode, while HP Win7 laptop run in full speed in SATA-2 (300) mode. I have similar problems on my nForce 4 system which is also SATA-2 system, but in my case refuse to work with HDD in SATA-2 mode, even after i install native nvidia drivers. So i have NCQ, but not SATA-2. I never manage to solve this problem. Maybe in your BIOS there is a switch to SATA-2 mode? Maybe it will be after BIOS update? I suggest just install all drivers for your Intel motherboard in usual auto mode and not install them manually. Just run installation program and let it install automatically.

Ok, i must admit, i don't read most of topic, just first page. Because i am politically incorrect i will say what most people does not dare: I AM ROOTING FOR GLOBAL WARMING. Here is short list of why i am such a heathen: 1) I like worm climate, i don't like cold European winters. Having Subtropics instead of continental climate is better. 2) I tired care about people from other countries who don't give a flying f*ck about me\my people\my country\my region. I stop care about you, since you don't care about me. 3) I am adult enough to realize that technical progress and Exhausting reserves of cheap carbon based fuels will eventually end mass burning of Oil, Methane and Coal. So, eventually problem will fix itself. 4) More warm means more vapor in atmosphere = more rain. Rain + Warm = better crop yield. Better harvest = less hunger and more profit for country budget. Remind me Climate change was suppose to be bad, not good, then why i love climate and economical benefits from it? Better live in subtropics then in continental climate, believe me. Using Nuclear stations and Pumped-storage hydroelectricity is despised by "ecologists" despite it is anti global warming measures that gives many countries energy independence. Why should i hate it - i endorse it - it is logical to do. Whole History Nuclear Stations accidents kill about several thousands people. Cars kill in USA alone every year about 30.000 people. Should i remind you that most of such ecologist who demand stop nuclear energy is goofy, to say the least? I also noted interesting discussion here that modern vehicles is unreliable because of planned obsolescence and cars from past was more reliable. Yes, driving or reliable cars deserve respect. There is also many used reliable cars as Mercedes W124 with 4 speed auto and inline-6 diesel. Or first GEN Lexus IS200\300. If you find them in good condition. But you still can buy new and reliable Mitsubishi Pajero, for example, it is one of the most reliable SUV in production. As well as find many other used reliable Japanese SUV. Most modern cars are intolerable garbage, but there is still several "Last of the Mohicans" on market.

Yeah, Shoe is great. I like Shoe. I intentionally put link with her as example, cause i hope some people learn about her. I usually do such things - put links with great stuff so people learn about cool things. Now i have another trouble, this time only with Serpent 55. On OLX.UA any thing that you find can not be opened in a separate page. Example: https://www.olx.ua/list/q-MSI-GX740/ You push on small account with notebook for sale and it tell you you have too old browser. This is only with 55 version. Can it be fixed? -

Thank you, i choose third in the list - vid.puffyan.us It works great for me, finally first time in many days i can enjoy invidious on my XP machine. But i still think that problem of first in the list - yewtu.be should be investigated by roytam, because what if other iterations of invidious would start to act like that. -

Rod Steel replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
Hello, and happy new year to MSFN users! I have a question about New Moon and Serpent. I use NM28 (2021-08-13) and Serpent55 (2021-12-17). Now in both versions Invidious not working - videos not shown instead in NM is text: "The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported". But in 360Chrome it works. Examle: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=YGqCGD4uqVE And in Serpent55 even the ad picture of video not shown. Roytam, can it be fixed? Because several months ago Invidious was working in NM, but then Invidious several days was offline with text that they do changes and after that it's not working. And i usually use Invidious, cause YouTube is very slow in NM\Serpent and Invidious is blazing fast. -
Yes it should, because NCQ can work then and performance in 4K Command Queuing will be possible. It is easy to measure with program AS SSD Benchmark which is freeware. Just measure before and after drivers are installed and make screenshots of both before and after and upoad it here. If you formatted your SSD under win XP it is not 4K formatted. It shows in AS SSD Benchmark too as green OK symbol if 4K alignment is correct. To achieve 4K alignment you need to format drive in win7 or later. Under windows XP you can use MiniTool Partition Wizard - which is great software. Talk to me in Personal Message if you wanna know where to get old good version for XP that i used, cause i am not sure if recent version works with XP. By the way, try to launch latest free version to check if it still work with XP. The other problem is that XP do not have TRIM command, so your SSD experience great Write amplification To avoid that under XP there is program LC Technology Solid State Doctor v3.0.3.2. It have function auto-trim and manual trim of all empty space on SSD which is great because it stops Write amplification. If you want i can show you in PM where to get version 3.0.3.2 because it is not present on official site anymore.

It will detect 3.2GB or ~3.5GB. You can install XP Integral Edition with PAE patch, or modify your own XP ISO by WinXP-IE Optional Patch Integrator, so your OS can see 4GB. You currently have 32 bit processor, so you can not install 64 bit OS. Since you decided to upgrade your notebook i suggest you to update your BIOS so your notebook will support faster 64-bit Core 2 Duo. The fastest Core 2 Duo for your laptop is Core 2 Duo T7600 (2.33GHz/4MB). It is much faster CPU (compared to your T2500) and support XP-64 bit Edition. It is currenly on sale on ebay and aliexpress. But i advise to check first local sale boards and sites. Usually when i buy notebook memory i buy it used from local sellers because it is cheaper.

Verifacation email doesnt show up in Gmail or my own email.
Rod Steel replied to Powdered's topic in Site & Forum Issues
I am disappointed. I change my email in account. I changed to gmail address. No confirmation to letter to gmail. I pushed button "resend email" many many times - no result. Obviously i check spam and trash boxes. After several days i change email again to non-gmail adress. Again no result. But after i pushed button "resend confirmation letter", only then i get confirmation letter! I also send several complains in "contact us" form - no result. What the hell is this? Forum not working with the most popular mail service in the world AT ALL! Barely working with other mail services. "Contact US" and other complain service apparently nobody reads. This sucks. Have anybody will fix that ever?.. -
I think you should try what i advised to you in first answer in this topic - first thing in duckduckgo search on "Integral Edition 2021.5.15". And then if it fail try latest december Integral Edition version. As i say in my first post here - it is perfectly legal - that's why it is on archive.org. If you have licensed copy of XPSP3 you can install whatever slipstreamed XPSP3 version you want. I don't understand why you ignore my, Damnation and RainyShadow advise to try Integral Edition? On winraid topic that is now archived (and continued) on wincert they were different opinion. They thought Lenovo intentionally screw Ideapad Flex 10 bios to block other OS from being installed. I kinda agree with them. Cause it is Haswell generation Netbook. And XP successfully work now on Ryzen 5800X and Core i7 9700.

I use NM28 and Serpent 52. I am really interested in what you saying. Can you please give example in what things 55 Serpent better? Maybe i should us 55? -
And what is the "right driver" ? P.S. I just read archived topic from win-raid "WinXP,2003_x32_on_modern_hardware". And in archive it divided on 5 .htm parts. So i read starting from 3 part to find solution to your problem. And what i found is that advanced user diderius6 have a real fight with Lenovo Flex 10 with BayTrail. He have 5 Flex 10 Netbooks. He is so hardcore he eventually get to soldering bios chips etc. You can download this archive now on wincert topic first page and quick read it using in-browser search on word lenovo in this page. The problem is he mention so many things that i didn't get what was the end of his story with Flex 10. The links to his acpi is gone and now can be downloaded only by ufile paid users. But newer versions of acpi from diderius present on WinXP-IE_Optional_Patch_Integrator_v3.2.1 pack. After win-raid moders\admins destroyed that topic, they also ban diderius6, so i don't know where to contact him. Maybe guys on wincert new topic know how contact him, cause he "eat the dog" on Flex 10 + windows XP.

It goes under "declared war on XP community" and "etc" categories. I try to be brief and not writing long texts-sheets. Hey people look at forum page where they discuss FUEL return and v29.4.3 changes. Tobin is in delusions. So funny. Everyone like - man what are we gonna do, we losing people so fast! And Tobin like - it's because of ... Just-off "hacked" some stuff: Also Tobin on same page have opinion about FUEL getting back in Pale Moon: So according to Tobin doing what people want in project is "surrendering to mob". And in his understanding good, correct way for a developer is not listen to people and not do what people want to see, but to ignore they wishes and do what only developer want. This is classic autism - incapacity to understand others, incapacity to listen to them, to respect they wishes and threat them as you wanna be treated. You know there is some "small" brand called ... LEXUS and it started when Toyota send they best people in California to understand WHAT AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT IN LUXURY CAR. They learn what people wanted and created amazing car - LS400 - that was what people wanted and it was immediate success. Also Tobin have thoughts about Baslisk about possibly to be killed. According to him it is not bad, but good: No comments... I don't know what "Not a single person" means in your sentence but i bashed far-right multiple times on this forum, including this month, where i explain here on page 76 why bitchute is bad s*** crazy far-right garbage. So i have no love both for far-right and far-left. -

By the way, did you look at this: http://www.palemoon.org/releasenotes.shtml Translation, when MN and Tb. join they forces and direct them on the Pale Moon community it paid-off A LOT. In a way that PM become project from which people running away. I mean how you can turn respected browser in sinking ship so fast? They declared war on XP community, MAC-OS community, MSFN community, ban Just-Off, etc. I mean ... that's ridiculous. NOW, when project almost become abandon-ware they get a little bit scared and step one time back. It will not help anyway, because they to forgone. They also quote "may be retiring Basilisk and stop development on it altogether". MN in his usual style. Bravo. It reminded me "Media Player Classic - Home Cinema" where ( as i heard) project leader become behaving like lunatic, so almost all team abandoned it and started fork MPC - Black Edition. Hey Moonchild, wanna know how you should act to get part of users back? Apologize to authors of forks for XP and Mac-OS. Apologize to Just-Off. Make peace with MSFN community. Bring back compatibility for XP and Vista. Un-ban people who u banned for supporting this forks. Make working Google WebComponent support instead of raging on members of PM community that disagree with you. And isolate Tobin from decision making power in PM project. But, lets be honest we all know that he will not do that. Wanna know why he bring back FUEL? In my opinion cause they got scared - so many people left the project and forum, that they almost have nobody now. PM at this point is almost a dead man walking. So they thinking to kill Basilisk in a hope to save PM. So let's wish health, inspiration and long life to roytam1 - man who make browser which people want - the way it should be with healthy projects. -
It is 2014 year laptop. It's probably uses new ACPI mode. There were new ACPI drivers for windows XP from enthusiasts. Maybe it will help. Brevity is soul of wit, so... 1) Read this with google translate or find on this page English txt to download: https://forum.simplix.info/viewtopic.php?id=722 2) Choose slip-streamed Integral Edition (like for example "Windows XP Professional SP3 x86 - Integral Edition 2021.5.15" - just google it). If you have licensed XP you have the full right to use slip-streamed version. Or patch your own XP version with "WinXP-IE Optional Patch Integrator" to add universal ACPI and AHCI etc.

So there was topic on https://www.win-raid.com that was named XP/W2k3 x86 on Modern Hardware. It contained a lot of NEW and useful information including such new things like modification XP SP3 to work with AVX\AVX2. I don't follow that topic often, but recently it was bulldozed. Not even closed, but just deleted. So many knowledge was striken down. Likely http://web.archive.org/ save a lot of this topic. But the most important thing is that topic restarted on other forum: https://www.wincert.net/forum/topic/17688-xpw2k3-x86-on-modern-hardware/ There on first page are links to downloadable archived version by user iyut. I do not know what happened that they just delete topic that users filled with useful information for years. But it is a vandalism to delete such a database! Lucky they moved to wincert and didn't let topic died and lost. I hope local admins on wincert will threat this topic and efforts of XP users with more respect then win-raid admins did.

My Browser Builds (Part 3)
Rod Steel replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
O, i'm sorry i can not just pass by this question. Well, i will try to explain now. First it is a site from far-right that are mostly banned from YouTube because google and corporate sponsors of ads doesn't want to have they logo and they products mile near with this content. Thus why it is mostly banned there. Let's examine what on a first page of it. Here is current (while a watching it) text and videos on front page: No comments. Yeah, sure, get bankrupted with Casino(!) need a true Genius from a capital letter "G". I mean how do you even can bankrupt with Casino - the house always wins! There is "no pandemic"? Wow this is just unbelievable lies. It is to early to say that. I'm pretty sure it will be eventually debunked. Absolute crazy anti vaccine lies. No comments. So i look right now to cherry pick things on front page of bitchute.com and it mostly pro-trump sucking up and crazy anti-vaccine content. Plus a lot of conspiracy theorists and people gloating somebody died\get killed. It is a garbage content that big corporation does not want on they platforms. I saw bitchute several times this years and i cant force myself to watch till the end even one video because i can't tolerate obvious lies, deception and craziness. YouTube and Google are de-platforming and demonetizing a lot of good channels and this is wrong. But bitchute is mostly right-wing garbage. It is not good right-wing content. It is bad right-wing content that are so toxic and so crazy that even the most greedy and shameless corporations does not not want to be mile near. -

Question - why i can't install Mtube extension to try it in my New Moon 28.10.4a1 (2021-08-13) ? I'm usially using Invidious now. But i'm kinda curious about Mtube. -
First: not ANY developer. Most, but not ANY. Second: then why on front page of https://www.irfanview.com/ we can see text: Supports Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10? P.S. Ask the developer (he's name is Irfan Skiljan). Sometimes developers when doing updates accidentally drop XP support and without nobody tell them this fact, they still think that they program still could run on XP. Example of this is D3DGear.
-
Why don't you ask developers of IrfanView about that? P. S. I tried to launch install file of latest IrfanView - black screen and my computer rebooted. Hmmm, "intersting" software. I knew about it for more then 16 years but never used because i considered it inferior to Fast Stone Viewer. Also try XnView - maybe it will work in XP.

Thank you, i didn't know that. However i downloaded latest version for better web compatibility. I use english versions of roytam browsers starting from 2018 when i transferred from 52ESR to roytam's New Moon 28. But this time i download 45ESR not for me but for my relative who use FF45 for long time. So i have another question - how make roytam's latest 45ESR play video (vp9 anf AVC). Did i miss something? I thought it already there like in Serpent? But it is not there. What should i do to make play videos roytam's latest 45ESR? -
