As far as I know, someone published recently an installer

I recently made a topic about tls1.2 and Firefox 12, but no one answered me. I'm wonder if that proxy could work on IE6 and Win9x/2k and Firefox 12. There is another tool called browservice, but it's difficult to setup it because you need a Linux machine. Moveover, you probably would see all the page as an image, so you couldn't use it with Screen Readers. I expect Blackwingcat will explain more about this.

I suggest moderators to move this tread to main XP board

I abandoned Windows 10 when 2020 has ended. I use Windows XP and Windows 7, and I'm thinking on switching to Linux when I would need to buy a computer.

Windows 7 can get support until 2023 (not official), but if I want to get these updates I thought that I might update my system to latest official updates. As far as I know, the update which you mentioned includes updates until 2015. Another option would be to uninstall all updates and update Windows again, or update it manually as I did with Windows XP.

There is also a JDK 8 package with NetBeans. It's difficult for me to edit these files, so I'll use it.

I found that someone modified Netscape so it support TLS 1.2. The thing is that Netscape is older than Firefox 12, and Firefox 12 can't access a lot of modern Web pages which can be accessed with that modified Netscape. The question is, did anyone added also that certificate update to Firefox 12?

As far as I remember, I have it. A page suggested to install it.

Can you provide a link?

I found on a Microsoft forum a posible solution to solve this. Just boot Windows in safe mode or a Live CD and rename the folder %windir%\Software distribution to "Software Distribution.old" (without cuotes). I tried that, but it apparently just restore Windows Update. Here is the cbs log file. CBS.7z

I recently managed to have Windows update working in Windows 7. After installing some updates, it started to give the error mentioned in the title. I uploaded here two logs, dism's one's and a txt where I show the cmd while I extracted the msu and tried to install it (using the dism and the cab inside it). Sorry for the cmd in Spanish. logs.zip

I thought this was an illegal topic here.

My suggestion would be to rename this topic, so it would be called as Windows 7 missing functions or something like that.

I use ClamWin as an antivirus, I think it is good. However, It started to give an error while trying to update the database, and I'm sure that it's not an Internet problem because it worked.

I respect your opinion, but I remind you that there more than WinXP, Vista and 7, Windows 10 and Linux. You have an alternative called Windows 8.1.

I downloaded repacked version using the Cixert's link as I told. It currently won't be my default browser, but it could be before some time. I use it with some pages such as web.skype.com and similar pages, because their functions used to work better with Chromium browsers. Roytam do a lot of work with his Serpent and NewMoon (which don't work well with Screen Readers). The compatibility with screen readers is another reason why I'm starting to use 360. Maybe is not the best browser, but we don't have a lot of options. I expect that when 360 will drop XP we will have an extended kernel for XP

Thanks for the link! It was very difficult to download it from the official's Russian Repack site. It's fast and some things that don't work in Serpent/Basilisk work well under 360, such as Blackboard's videocalls and I plan to test Skype calls. I'm really don't scared about it's telemetry, because today any Chromium browser have some kind of telemetry. However, as a precaution, I blocked it's official website (hau.360.com), because I thought it could send some data. Blocking their website I can have more guarantee that they have less possibilities to steal my data.

It was easier to download from official Chinese website. I extracted the .exe and I got a portable.

Where can I download a portable version of the browser?

I read that Maxton still supports Windows 2000 and XP. I downloaded it, but it gives an error. When I tried to start it, it just give an error. I used the latest version (6.1.1.1000). I'm so confussed. Did Maxton support old Windows like XP and 2K as I read? If yes, where can I find it?

I had a similar issue when I tried to run a vlc which came with Microsoft Plus in a Win98 VM.

I don't know how to modify a dll, but I read that it may be easy to bring Windows 8.1 and some Windows 10 functions to Windows 7's Kernel.

I noticed that some programs still work in XP, but not some features like sounds. Anyone knows why this happend? It is due to it's encription? Here are an example. http://qcsalon.net/autodl/qcgc-v3-beta.zip When you open the program in Windows 7 and newer, it make a sound when the login screen appear. In WinXP that not work despite I changed the sound from WASAPI to Direct Sound!

But I have XP already installed. How can I remove these things in that case?

I read that Microsoft introduced telemetry to Win7/8.1. What about WinXP/Vista?
