  1. Some fast research - Brave community page tells us it's based on Chromium 120.0.6099.144 https://community.brave.com/t/release-channel-1-61-109/522518 It shouldn't start on Windows 7 by the definition. But you're very welcome to try and tell us.
  2. Spoof to another fake agent, go here, and you will see - spoofing of UA is obsolete these days. https://chromiumchecker.com/
  3. Look at my account, I have 2 tutorials, but it's only for Vista and nVidia, not AMD, so it's unfortunately off-topic here.
  4. This code is held secret by the companies nVIDIA and AMD, anyone can try to find the papers on them without any results,
  5. I said I ported them, not wrote. And all of that because of the code leftovers. But as of now, even Windows 7 is dropped for several years, what you see today in the form of Windows 7 releases, they are just "security" driver updates based on old drivers from the year 2020 or so.
  6. No, I meant the code inside the divers, not the OS, I think I wrote about it pretty clear, no?
  7. In details, why my Vista Nvidia drivers porting is a success? Because they had to let the old code from Windows 7 still be there, and Windows 7 parts are similar to the ones of Vista, despite being of much lower quality, poorly written code parts. Again, it's all public knowledge, anyone (even a bit knowledgeable) can check. For XP one would need to write new drivers from scratch. Period.
  8. I explain with very simple words. There can't be "porting" or "modding" of existing drivers, be it AMD or Nvidia, XP code (along with the code that was bearing older cards gens) was simply removed. It's public knowledge, and this one of the reasons why you all don't see "backports".
  9. Despite quite common belief, CaXpons can live up to 7 years just fine, after they need to be replaced 100%.
  10. On which OS this exact error you observed?
  11. So you aren't gonna share with people here?
  12. The dev needs proper motivation, I fully support it. Is there a comparison somewhere with and without the "plus" (paid) package. Thanks.
  13. Thank you! Very interesting facts from a fellow MSFNer! It's no wonder that spyware replaces those original Windows files. wzcsvc.dll (Wireless Zero Configuration Service) - convenient to send additional hidden data via side channels (a well known way of stealing data). shimgvw.dll (Windows Picture and Fax Viewer) convenient to view and make screengrabs of what you do on your PC. There are multiple official governmental warnings against using that software.
  14. Oh, how could I forget to tell?!? I even saved a bricked GPU that wasn't recognized as a GPU anymore, I had to short the dedicated pins (while it was booting up), it cleared out the chip off the remnants of the invalid BIOS someone stupidly flashed on it, so I was able to re-flash with the original. Probably it will work for the router, too.
  15. The original BIOS was nowhere to be found, and the one I used was meant as an "update", so I used it. I had nothing to lose anyways.
  16. I once had a case where the lightning bricked the device's BIOS, and I was able to resurrect it with magic flashing a new BIOS version from within DOS environment.
  17. And yeah, if win32 wishes to know what I fixed, please get in touch via PM. The information is not be shared with 3rd parties. The result is good, but I still want to improve it more, As of now, it still feels heavy on a low end PC with 4GB of RAM. 8GB and more - very good.
  18. Some two weeks ago, I fixed the awful memory leak in Rabinovitcsh's Opera "cr+ck". I was willing to hesitate posting about it due to the fact it needed to be tested properly, and I only use Opera on occasion.
  19. I'm seeing it as a pattern, 85 was very light and fast, 86 a bit heavier, then a long row of heavy versions followed, starting from 108 it got better again. As of now, I only see some improvement in 122. But it's too new for valve.
  20. Looks more like the real reason to choose 109 is simply because it's lighter on system resources, not that they actually care about Win8, just my opinion.
  21. I'm sorry, I only used XP for no more than a month in 2006, but the below solution should actually work for older OS, even 32bit ones. This is what I sometimes use for my own custom drivers' signing. The procedure is described in details, Seeing you, Dave, have an Win 10 installation, it shouldn't be a problem to do it there, and then use the signed driver on your XP. https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/windows-driver-docs/blob/staging/windows-driver-docs-pr/devtest/tools-for-signing-drivers.md
  22. What happens if you sign the driver with my solution? System level signing is, like explained in this topic... Install the driver. Sign before reboot! "permanently bypass driver signature verification" https://msfn.org/board/topic/185975-got-vista-to-run-on-nvme-with-one-of-george-kings-drivers-but-its-unsigned-any-way-to-permanently-bypass-driver-signature-verification-at-boot/
  23. Enter the BIOS, Switch off "Attempt to fix sporadic PCI errors" , or whatever they call it in your BIOS. It helped me when my sound card was conflicting with my LAN card. It too hanged up on the BIOS title screen.
  24. It works with Vista x64, x86, I checked myself. Though, it can't boot from it. I have a classic BIOS from 2009 (without films and games in it).
