  1. I'm giving out the most common errors from the several of my systems. fltmgr.sys error accompanied by "0000008e, parameter1 c0000005" = faulty RAM (maybe not enough power supplied, if that RAM is overclocked, bad batch of chips, low binned, like the "famous" Taiwanese Kingston, for example.) Fix - replace RAM, try to bump up the voltage in the BIOS (add a small increase, sometimes it's enough).
  2. From my long experience with XP/Server. fltmgr.sys error accompanied by "0000007e, parameter1 c0000005" = faulty HDD (maybe only damaged file system due to a power outage)
  3. You're welcome Dave! Despite what the version number says, the BIOS files inside are newer, they are dated as of late 2010. It's some sort of a BIOS update with the same chip, but manufactured by Acer. I extracted the update, it's much newer than yours from 2004.
  4. This board has a firmware update available. Could the issue be the reason for such an update? Silicon Image SiI3512 BIOS v.3.06 https://driverscollection.com/?file_cid=42198874113f2f2009758fd609b
  5. Oh, and quit trolling/mocking around, you had been already explained in the past, you're one the most disrespectful entities I've ever seen. Stick to the topic only.
  6. I'm absolutely chill, in fact, I'm on holidays at a very beautiful place (Dutch territories in Latin America). So what makes you think I'm not? You are again wrong, you simply confuse codecs with acceleration. Internal LAV are codecs, DirectX 11 is acceleration. Acceleration can't "fall back" and make the codec do the acceleration. Study, study, study.
  7. Most of BluRay/DVDs have copy protection/encryption. On MPC-HC page at github they write what to do about it.
  8. Here I found for you a confirmation from other sources: "Stop messages that contain 0x0000008E (0x8E for short) can have many causes, but the most common cause is bad RAM." https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/133988/stop-0x0000008e-error/
  9. The STOP 0x0000008E usually points to a RAM issue. Try to reset the RAM modules, or replace them, I had this error in 2012, it happened with a defective Kingston DDR3 module (Made in Taiwan, the over-popular blue one - Hyper-X). Oddly enough, it passed the Memtest just fine, so I placed it back, but when I started to edit a big video file, it BSODed on me again.
  10. I have, DXVA Checker is especially buggy on older OS and doesn't work with XP. GPUZ is good enough.
  11. No, it doesn't work with Windows XP. The author says it's only Vista+ Could have been researched with a couple of clicks, before posting. Official site. https://bluesky-soft.com/en/DXVAChecker.html
  12. Besides, you need a DX11 Feauture_LEVEL_11_0 (as the minimum) video card for the player to work, and, of course, somewhat recent drivers, that are obviously out of the question for XP.
  13. If someone ever successfully ported DirectX 11 to XP, it'd be the local news number no. 1, To this date, it didn't happen. So no "maybe". If you still insist, give some links.
  14. A really lot has changed since 2010! To test fingerprinting protection extensions, I'd still stick to the initially suggested by @AstroSkipper https://browserleaks.com/, they update fingerprinting techniques on a regular basis. browserleaks.com is not heavy on old hardware.
  15. The website is based on the Wikipedia article from Jul 22nd, 2017. Which they declare themselves. https://whotracks.me/blog/fingerprinting.html The information is obsolete by almost a decade. Not to mention, it's really hard to call Wikipedia an expert on fingerprinting, to begin with. Collected data on fingerprinting goes as low as 2010! I'd like to see something far more recent.
  16. I highly doubt it, I did a search, no such info, sorry.
  17. It can, if someone makes a mistake, or simply doesn't know what his OS real capabilities are, that user tried to run the player in DirectX11 mode, that is only Win8 and up, the player ignored that setting and switched off the acceleration completely, thus resulting in a poorer picture quality. The only thing that works on XP is DXVA version 1.0. Addition, obviously a DXVA supported GPU is needed, too!
  18. Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VI REUNION Genres: Action, RPG, Japanese Companies: Square Enix, TOSE CO., LTD. This game also requires Windows 10
  19. Just so you know, for the future, DirectX11 for video is only Win8 and up, but I won't go into details since it's obviously off-topic here!
  20. Of course it's "less resources" for you simply because Windows XP doesn't support DirectX11, it never did, run DxDiag to see, hence less depth and the weird brightness, there's simply no acceleration when you choose DX11 on XP.
  21. Fire your doctors! By our Nordic standards, you both are over-chatty and extremely sociable.
  22. Not suitable to check any Adblock since there's also zero mentions of Yahoo, I just noticed that, it's simply a total failure. How come they didn't include it in "the most common trackers" section?
  23. Absolutely not reliable since they suspiciously omitted one of the most notorious trackers - Yandex. Just a few examples. Yandex static /trackers/ API: yastatic.net yandex.st yandex.net yabs.yandex.ru yabs.yandex.com an.yandex.ru bs.yandex.ru http-check-headers.yandex.ru uptime-info.yandex.ru mc.yandex.ru yandex.direct share.yandex.ru
  24. Dakar Desert Rally: Deluxe Edition Genres: Racing, Simulation, Cars, Motorcycles, Open-wheel cars This game requires Windows 10 as the min.
  25. Commercial activities such as offering paid services and offering goods for sale is a violation of MSFN rules. https://msfn.org/board/guidelines/
