My Browser Builds (Part 3)
RainyShadow replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
@VistaLover I have a vague memory of reading in the past, that Flash gets different treatment compared to other plugins. It may have been about Chromium based browsers though. So, i also tested with the PDF-XChange Viewer plugin by opening a random .pdf google result, and from the NM27 build i pointed onwards the plugin icon in the address bar stops showing up. -

Some change here breaks the "Ask to Activate" setting for plugins in this and the following builds. -

Are you saying there is nothing in the about:plugins page? I am talking about plugins, not extensions. OK, the cause is (probably) not a plugin :P What is your CPU? For NM27 try the SSE build. About Arcticfox - wait for a new build. -
I just found this, which lead me to discovering Emerge Desktop. Looks promising, too bad that development seems to have stopped. Last version is at SourceForge. Why not try using the emergeTray.exe module as a second systray? You could hide specified icons on the standard systray and have them only on emergeTray. Reverse is possible too. Tip: hold Ctrl to move the panel with the left mouse button and invoke settings with the right button, hold Alt to resize. Add holding Shift if you set it to click-through.

@IXOYE Try to disable all plugins and check if you still get crashes. Try to find the name of the faulty module (in event viewer, WinCrashReport, etc.). -
Are you sure it is a hardcoded 60FPS? Not some arbitrary value like "as fast as possible", or "same as current monitor refresh rate"? I tried toggling the layers.acceleration.draw-fps setting, but the values shown don't make sense to me. It's usually between "001 001 000" and "007 007 000" on my PC. And in the Android version of FireFox it doesn't show anything. Any other way to measure the browser FPS?

You should keep separate profiles for 27 and 28, otherwise your shared profile will (probably) get corrupted because of the various changes between versions. Start "palemoon.exe -P" to bring up the profile manager. -

I believe he meant File system check - scandisk. It can be disabled by setting AutoScan=0 in MSDOS.SYS -
Is it possible to install Windows XP on an HP Elitebook 840 G3?

@VistaLover I thought this may be the case, but since i get the above error instead of the usual "exception 0xc.....1d" i wasn't sure. Maybe the .exe file is fine, but some .dll needs SSE2? -

Is this supposed to work on AthlonXP? I get this error: -

It's the same in NM and St52, holding Ctrl does this. But my keyboard is tucked away most of the time when just browsing... I had the setting toggled for some time, didn't like this behaviour as default. I'd prefer my browsers to behave the same way (when possible). -
My Browser Builds (Part 3)
RainyShadow replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
I have been wondering for some time... is there a way to add "Open in foreground tab" to the right-click menu in St52 by any modification in the preferences (without using extensions)? Or, is the default menu hard-coded in the core files? I got this in NM27 with some extension. I would like to have it in St52 without further bloating my (already too big) extension list... It is often very useful, because i can keep opening links in a background tab with a middle-click, but using this i can open a link in a new tab and immediately switch to it (without reaching for the keyboard ). -
Free working Teamviewer alternatives for XP?
RainyShadow replied to RainyShadow's topic in Windows XP
Hmm, maybe try to reset to free license (in the settings)? Or reset the whole thing? Save your contacts, fully quit AnyDesk, make a backup of the %appdata%\AnyDesk folder, then delete/rename it. On the next start you should get a new ID and fresh settings. About alternatives, what are your needs? Will you only access your XP system at home, or you intend to access other devices as well? What types of device/OS you need supported? Windows PCs only? Mobiles too? Do you use public IP addresses, can you forward ports? If not, you need a server to act as a middle-man like in TV and AD. Do you use the file transfer function, or just remote control? Or maybe even only remote viewing (without control part) would suffice? Also, did you already try the ones suggested here previously?- 40 replies

What exactly did you download (post link)? Maybe it wasn't fully downloaded when you extracted it? Try downloading again. -
Free working Teamviewer alternatives for XP?
RainyShadow replied to RainyShadow's topic in Windows XP
How did you get there? Did you click that "Test professional features now" link on the "What's new" page? What license does it show on the About page? I have been using AnyDesk ever since i found about it and so far it didn't nag me about buying a license.- 40 replies

Could you disconnect the power button after turning on the PC and see if it still goes to sleep? Also, examine the board for faulty capacitors, dust piles, etc.

weird things about sleep(standby) and hibernation
RainyShadow replied to luweitest's topic in Windows XP
Some of your current device/driver combo probably doesn't support standby. Try to find which one. You can use powercfg /devicequery all_devices_verbose to see a list of all devices and their supported power states. It's a long list, so you better redirect it to a text file :P Use powercfg /H OFF to disable hibernation. -
Well, compile/download the Mesa3D library, rename it to opengl32.dll and put alongside the browser executable. Maybe @PlayerXP could share the location of those precompiled binaries? I found this site, but could only browse its archive... There is also a project on Github, but the installer relies on mklink, which isn't available in XP. You could try to manually copy/rename the files though.

Umm, could you specify what you are asking about? The Quake game? The Mesa DLL? Something else?
