Mark-XP

Seeing XP running smoothly on latest 5nm hardware is simply awesome.... Edit: btw maybe you specialists here could have e brief view on my new tpic here...?

Congratulations @sparty411! Maybe... meanwhile XP is simply bored with old stuff like hdd's and standard ssd's? However, the Core Speed of 5,447 GHz seems somewhat exagerated for displaying these two info windows ... but please don't bother, it's the same what cpu-z is showing here on my Z170 installation - allways on Max-Multi. The more relevant info seems to be the actual Watt consumption, (eg. shown in HW-Monitor). Eventually you can post a screenshot of the power consumption too...

A small glitch arises though, with the background-color: rgb(232,232,232) tweak in the userChrome.css: if a line with a altered color in the mail-list is selected, it turns nearly unreadebale! No white script on on a strong blue background, but it's light grey on white. Strange enough: if i change to the background-color: rgb(255,255,255) - which means white, as in the standard odd lines - such a selected line is displaying white on white.... Edit: The solution is as simple as adding 2 additional lines in the .css: #threadTree treechildren::-moz-tree-row(odd, selected) { background-color: Highlight !important; }

Moved the userChrome.css in that (new) Chrome subfolder and finally it's there . Many thanks @AstroSkipper and a happy nice weekend!

Hello @flameI, prior to answering your question let me please put one at you: Are you aware that this model has an 8th gen CPU, and it's got official support by Dell for Win 10/11 only? That said, i would like to confirm that imo there should be a certain probabilty that a tweak of the 368.81 (XP) driver will allow it to handle the MX130 gpu, since it's Maxwell based as you wrote above. I recently got to work a GT710 with an older driver under XP by editing the .inf (link), however, the difference is: that model had official XP support by Nvidia, in contrary to the MX130 which hasn't.

No Sorry necessary at all @AstroSkipper as i can see (and appreciate) all your helpful input and contributions here! Well, coming from Thunderbird 2.0 (as i wrote here, pt 4.) i observerd this "alt row highlight" had gone in mailnews (at least per default), didn't find a reltated switch in the preferences, so i searched the web. Found this link where is described the solition with a userChrome.css: #threadTree treechildren::-moz-tree-row(odd) { -moz-appearance: none !important; background-color: rgb(232,232,232) !important; } which i've putten in the .\Profile folder of mailnews. Since this didn't show the desired result, i even added the preference toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets set to true - but it didn't work neither. What was your way to get "alt row highlight" in mailnews?

Only some suggestions, @sparty411: - turn everything possible to 'legacy' in biosUefi (eventually PCIe5 -> 4 possible?). - use an HDD, - try installing another os like Win7.

As Sir @Dietmar stated here, the driver works well for ALC1200/1220 in Windows XP. Hence i'm confident to get working the ALC1150 too and will state the result with a new board here in a couple of weeks...

Many Thanks @Dietmar, that's really good news!! Now, since ALC12x0 are the more recent/sophisticated codecs it should be reasonable to conclude the 1150 will be supported too... i will try and report it in my topic then... If you're living in the south of germany too, i think that time has come for me to invite you for a Schweinsbraten and some beers, after all your valuable an higly appreciated efforts !!

Ahh, Servus @Dietmar Btw. eventually, in a free minute, could you please check if the Realtek Audiodriver 2.74 (latest for XP) works with the ALC1150, ALC12x0 Codecs used on the modern boards. i've opened a topic here recently... Many thanks/Herzlichen Dank!!

I think the success will depend strongly of the SATA/AHCI (NVME??) driver you've chosen with the patch-integrator! There's a variety of one may select and try out - see Ramsey's description in section (#) Patch Integrator v3.4.0.

Lately i built an XP-system on a "rather recent" Z170/Skylake HW (thanks to the exceedingly valuable work of Mov AX and Dietmar!). The soundchip/codec was a Realtek ALC892 and the latest Realtek 2.74 driver for Windows XP worked nicely with it. Now i'm planning to build a new System with XP on a mainboard which comes with the newer ALC1150 and the question is: Will that Realtek 2.74 driver support it? I would highly appreciate any hints and answers to this question of users driving (newer, post Ivy) boards with latest Realtek ALC1150 /1200/1220 Codecs in a Windows XP setup. Many thanks in advance!

@AstroSkipper (and anyone else): Did you eventually try or manage to get the "Alternating row highlighting" (for the inbox area) working? As described here and shown here: http://blog.officefirst.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/1057948436-3.png ? Thank you!

Many thanks, Mathwiz! Having seen much going haywire with (Mozilla) browsers, i permitted me to substitute 6./7. with a complete backup of the complete .\profile folder . Well, what happend as the result to the procedure then was... what i expected/suspected: the import doesn't an "intelligent" merge (identifiing duplicate (sub(sub(...)))folders and bookmarks), but a simple addition of everything in the exported HTML. So it creates a second "software" folder, a second "hardware" folder and so on... the complete bookmark base (came from Firefox 52.9) is doubled... However, many thanks again for your suggestion!! (and btw, any other hints and suggestions to my very first post here are very welcome as well )

I observed this (new) behavior the last year too: even with Firefox 78 it wasn't possible to upload (the Elster certificate) for login. My solution was to install version 102; i suppose the newest hypermodern upload-technics of google used in Elster.de to be the culprit...

All the best wishes @roytam1 also from my side. Let me take this oportunity to say hello to this forum and a big Thank You!, including also @VistaLover, @NotHereToPlayGames, @IXOYE and the many others for their valuable help and contributions here! Having been lurking here for some years, now there have accumulated a couple of questions an small issues i'd like to discuss: 1) After Palemoon 25.8 i started using Roytam's Serpent-55.0, later used Serpent-52.9 (with it's slightly more recent codebasis) parallel, for different websites for about two years. Now i wonder, if there's a qualified possibility to merge the S-55.0 bookmarks into the bookmarks of S-52.9. 2) I have a triple boot system with XP, Win7 (and a modern Linux partition) to boot in. All my roytam's browser installations are kindof ,portable' which implicates that i can launch (for example) the Serpent-52.9 (32 bit) from the XP-partition, in Windows 7. Now, [having added the CTR to all UXP browsers to protect my sense of esthetics ] the result of starting S-52.9 from the XP-partition (with that XP- .\Profile) under Win7 is, that the menu-bar is missing! But, when i simply COPY the SAME S-52.9 folder from the XP to the Win7 partition and now start Serpent in Win7 (,locally'), the menubar comes up as expected. Isn't that funny? 3) I have the Status-bar activated in both, Serpent 52.9 and 55.0 in which is located the downlod status icon (bold arrow down) at the right corner. In S-55.0 that button works perfectly: it shows an active DL by color, it's possible to open the dl-window by clicking ont it, hovering above it shows some dl-information, and it indicates the completion of a DL with a nice animation. In S-52.9 in contrary, that button does nothing of these at all. 4) At th beginning of this year my both main mail-providers changed authentification and security mechhanisms so i was forced to leave my beloved and familiar Thunderbird 2.0. behind, but later very lucky to find roytam's Mailnews version as a dignified successor. Everything is familiar and works as expected... Many thanks again for providing it! Jast a small ,issue' for me: those ,ancient' thunderbirds had a nice feature: the rows of the main message-list had alternating colors (white and a light grey). That's gone unfortunately in mailnews. The solution, to put a userChrome.css with #threadTree treechildren::-moz-tree-row(odd) { -moz-appearance: none !important; background-color: rgb(232,232,232) !important; } in the profile path (as described here) didn't work for mailnews... Edit: just found a picture of alternating color: http://blog.officefirst.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/1057948436-3.png All kinds of help and hints for the 4 cases are very appreciated. Many thanks!

I can solomny confirm: The v344.75 driver has the custom resolution support. Gerwin, you really saved my a** wih this "GT 710 cards under Windows XP, Findings" thread: Thank you so much! Older driver versions don't have entries for the 710, later versions simply LACK of custom resolution support; the appropriate button in the setting has been simply grayed out - VERY disappointing. But luckyly, the v344.75 (with a little support by tuning the .inf) gets the job done. My new Z170 system now runs nearly perfectly also with Windows XP... And btw: Hello to this forum!
