    I'm 99% sure that he DOES understand. And I agree with roytam. He is here to support his brower variants. He is not here to support extensions. His browsers are NOT 'technically' *modern*. Removing ID checking would open up a whole can of worms where the "userbase" would ASSUME that *modern* extensions are supposed to "work". Roytam's browsers are only 80% modern. Sure, we could debate if that is actually 80% or 90% or 98%. But the reality is that they are NOT 100%! Why in Hades would roytam open his browsers up to an onslaught of support enquiries asking why a thousand extensions do not work because they rely on the 20% (or 10% or 2%) that his browsers simply cannot "do"?

    I'm failing to see why "win32" has ANYTHING to do with the recent discussion. I could care less "who" he is and whether or not his content has been deleted or not! Why? Because "win32" is *NOT* the person who started this tread! An active member since 2021 started this thread and that member, as you rightly point out, CAN post links to programs that he follows. NO DIFFERENT than those security products. The difference, as I am seeing it, is the "personality conflict" between the members doing the "liking" and the "arguing". What we have here is nothing more than "I like that member, he CAN post links. I do not like that member, he can NOT post links." Sorry, but that IS the bottom line from a "third party perspective". We have LEMMINGS on MSFN and we ALL know who they are, we know who they "like" and who they do not "like". It really is that simple.

    I would submit that non-free products that are not being hosted on MSFN is an aspect of other threads also, not just this thread. ie, what about this thread? https://msfn.org/board/topic/184730-antimalware-firewall-and-other-security-programs-for-windows-xp-working-in-2023-and-hopefully-beyond/ I didn't look for more, that's just a popular thread that comes to mind. It does cite non-free products. ie, C = Commercial (any payment software including shareware) And even provides non-MSFN links on where to download these non-member non-free products. ie, https://msfn.org/board/topic/184730-antimalware-firewall-and-other-security-programs-for-windows-xp-working-in-2023-and-hopefully-beyond/page/7/#comment-1244949 And we all know you've seen those threads. You sign on each and every day to hunt down half a dozen posts by that (and a couple others) MSFN Members (often times from YEARS AGO), and submit your daily limit of "likes". But hey, "it's not against the rules". So "keep up the good work". You cannot have it both ways. If the thread we are in now is in some sort of "violation", then so is that security program thread. Think about it. You really cannot have it both ways.

    <OT> That turned into a full week of recreational spreadsheeting. Glenn Reeves' original 2025 .xls file size was 3.71 MB. After unlocking (Excel password lock removal has been around for years), my version is down to 24 21 spreadsheet tabs (and a few of those aren't needed until I hit Retirement Age) from the original 62 spreadsheet tabs. And the file size is down to 725 578 KB.

    Feel free to discuss this with any of the moderators. These counters are not seen the same by moderators as they are seen by userbase (myself included, admittedly). There are folks (we all know who they are) that log in EVERY DAY to hunt down posts (sometimes even DECADES ago) in order to INFLATE these "views" and "counters". But like I say, feel free to discuss with any of the moderators.

    Thanks !!! Never know what one will discover from MSFN. I've been estimating based on Publication 15 Circular E and Tax Schedule X/Y.

    My Office is 2007, so I may not be of much help. But maybe this will fix your issue (article cites your exact issue but on Windows 2000) -- https://superuser.com/questions/1504407/office-2003-cant-open-newer-office-files More specifically, solution was to use "version 2" of the compatibility pack (linked in superuser article) -- https://www.malavida.com/en/soft/microsoft-office-compatbility-pack/download

    You should "localize" the updates, not rely on anything outside of your own computer. For my XP x64, I use a guide from either RyanVM or WinCert, I'd have to hunt it down. You create the updated install disk and NEVER HAVE TO VISIT WINDOWS UPDATE, it's already updated AT INSTALL. Or use something like this - https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/ryanvms_windows_xp_post_sp2_update_pack.html If you insist on using Windows Update, this might work - https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/tweaking_com_repair_windows_updates.html You may be better served with something like this - https://archive.org/details/en-windows-xp-professional-x-64-fully-updated_202201

    Also, several HP support forums suggest that most anti-virus programs seem to be okay. But that MALWARE SOFTWARE (ie, Malwarebytes, Bitdefender, Avast One Essential, ESET Essential, Emisoft) are known to cause printing delays.

    Try disabling "bi-directional printer support".

    I can... But you will not like the answer or you will think that I am being sarcastic. The answer is "supply and demand". If people are paying it, then why would the developer stop accepting the "fee"? Demand dictates a fee. If nobody is paying it, then the project will either cease to exist or the cost will decrease or the project will get split into a reduced-function "free version" and a full-function "paid version". Or ultimately some balance in the middle. Or I could call the answer "greed", but one person's "excess" is another person's "minimalism".

    There are at least two dozen reports of this web site not working in New Moon, dating back to at least a year and a half ago.

    Court cases are kind of meaningless in this case. Or the "Tor Network" would have died out long ago... Torrent files would no longer exist... Multiple social network sites could be sued for "bullies" leading to teen suicides or "cutting"... We'd have ZERO news networks because both sides would have court cases identifying the opposing view as "fake"... We'd have seventy-times-seventy times as many "activist judges" as we already have... Web sites with "general discussion" sections would all fall of the face of the Earth... Et cetera...

    Are you getting the below "consent" dialog? Or have you at least gotten it in the past? If not, maybe this "consent" dialog is not working in New Moon so everything else is "Googleismed" as unreadable.

    My wireless adapter drivers are all dated 2013 thru 2015. Once I find one that works, IT NEVER GETS UPDATED. I often intentionally attempt to track down OLDER and never newer.
