Mobile view is no longer working at all.

I notice you completely ignored most of my post.. What about adobe products, stardock products, IE, and ms smartscreen? How about the regular holes and exploits found in products most regular users are practically forced to use all the time? i.e. flash, adobe reader, java? Also where does it says I have infections? Now you're insinuating I have issues too?

Wait, do any of you guys use the newer adobe commercial products (i.e cs2 and above)? Cause they write to your hardrives BOOTSECTOR when installed. How about kapersky? It inserts itself into your boot routine. This app does nothing more than use MS features to ensure its running properly and to notify you that you should support it. You don't like it don't use it. Ask Mr. "I wanna beat people up with my big brain" to compare similar stuff like stardocks software. You'll be pretty surprised how invasive that is.... How about MS's smartscreen filter that reports everything you download and install to MS?

I just searched his content and out of his 16 posts most of those were one word or general fluff posts. Less than half his posts were actually on topic and helping. So I would say his post average would be @ .6 on topic, actual content posts per year. 3 of his post were on the same base lines as this one. "Hi" "Hi, i'm back and am going to be more active" (4 years ago for this one) then this thread.

@2per year

Yes thank you, that was answered in the second post....

OK here is a test archive. http://wpiw.net/WPI_Test.rar Unrar this and try just running it and setting the options (Don't forget to save before exiting the options menu)

Download a new archive and replace the wpi.hta in the common folder with the new one and then copy only the config.js in the user files folder to the new wpi folder. Then reset the options and themes.

Your solution is in this thread http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/171434-wpi-created-on-windows-7-ultimate-x64-bit-doesnt-work-on-other-versions/#entry1073091 There's a error in the current wpi.hta in the common folder. Replace with the one from the post

Yes, 13 years or so of patches and improvements UP TO April 8, 2014. Don't think for a second that the elite hackers won't research Windows 7 or 8 security holes and then reverse-engineer them, test them in XP, and if they work, put them on the black market to the highest bidder or just use them themselves to exploit XP systems. That was my real concern, and it was a legitmate one, not some newbie nonsense rant. Please note I wasn't in any way saying you are just noob ranting.

Jaclaz, you should hear this tool named Eli the Computer Guy. Watch his stupid videos on YouTube about the end of support for XP. Here's my impression of him. OMGZ! You must kill XP now! All XP machines are sitting ducks and will be shot on site. It is essential that you buy Windows 7 or 8, now. If you don't, your computer will blow up, or a hacker will take over it and turn it into a zombie bot and destroy the worldz! The funniest thing he said was XP wasn't built for broadband or security, and that XP systems should be disconnected from the Internet and put on their own little private island. Well, Eli, my XP loves broadband. It's so fast and I get so much work done. Love the thing. LOL I wouldn't be surprised if he's sponsored or gotten incentives to say that stuff. Most of the vulnerabilities also come in the basic "IE-related" category too. Knowing that and since XP cannot go above ie8 (Which we know has fallen way behind now) It's highly unlikely that a ie11+ exploit can even be managed to back port. That also goes for the other few. The system is fundamentally different now. I'm not saying it won't happen, just if you don't use ie or wmp then your chances go from slim to minuscule...

Also XP has had 13 years of fixes and improvements under its belt. Hackers nowadays are focusing on windows 7 ++++ why would the give a sh*t about someone who can't afford or care to upgrade from XP?

Look at good old Paul Therrot.. (Spelling?) Lots of people who think they are computer savvy and could, in thier minds, NEVER get a virus or malware just decide they were hacked also. I see it all the time when someone get something off of facebook, twitter or from a random email. Hell just from running a installer of the web without paying attention to what they are clicking on.

Home users very rarely (Let me repeat VERY rarely) ever get actually hacked. The root cause is almost always malware and browsing based. Look at all of the popular pc guys saying windows 8 is the future and you all have to upgrade. Major internet and pc reviewers say it all the time and then do a 180 next month. Yes there is a tiny, tiny chance some hacker could randomly come on your pc. But any up to date firewall, and av plus safe browsing is going to keep you safe. The thing your not seeing is that unless they have a reason to latch on to you they care alot less than the NSA, MS, Google, your own internet provider...

It's fud cooked up by MS and people who want you to upgrade to Win8 and other browsers. Think of this: I am a hacker and I see your name on some randomm net site, now I decide I hate you and have to do the following: Hack that site to get your ip or Send you a email in hopes you respond so I can get your ip then I have to spend all the time tracking your ip to get to your pc then I have to try the couple of backdoors I know to get into your pc then I have to crack your pass word to get to anything in your pc. OR: I am a hacker and I am going to spend my time hacking into some place that gives me a guaranteed payoff, like sony playstation network or xbox live. Not waste my time on you when I know i'll likely have no payoff.

Not really the main risk is how you use the system. There is a lot of users that use most systems all the time without any protection here and are safe. Think of it this way: What do you have on your PC a hacker is going to want to track you down to find and use? Unless you are making multi-millions or are famous\infamous on the net they don't give a crap about you. You are in much more danger from the NSA and Google than a actual hacker. Practice safe surfing and you'll be safe. All this paranoia is really just compounding the conspiracy theorists.....

It only matters when the system goes online.

Unofficial sp4... Cause I'm looking to make a "final" xp disc (I have had a valid vlk since release of xp )

Simple start with a fresh copy of your original unmodified source...

He's just upset because XP was his idea....

Ummmm besides Angy Birds won't install and play on ANY SYSTEM!!! However Angry Birds will on most newer system without extras....

You could also just delete the original and put the uncabbed one in there it would still work

IMO Still really ugly

A slightly modified disk from a supermarket isn't legal either... I cannot find ANY proof of a hotfix changing the CDIDENT files either it doesn't happen. (on a source disk not on a installation)

Also I am a moderator at Ryanvm.net, A smod for Wincert.net and a Developer here so, no it's not running the show it's doing a job and trying to keep the places I work for and call home running. Also in the thread you linked to I still helped the guy solve his issue, even if I had a issue with his uses.
