@ArcticFoxie I just opened my Google Drive in NM27 - it seems fine. What exactly don't work for you? [edit] OK, i found it @kartel @ArcticFoxie use this: @-moz-document domain("drive.google.com") { .boqDrivesharedialogCommonAnimatedfadeContainer.Hidden { opacity: 1 !important; } .boqDrivesharedialogCommonAnimatedfadeContainer.Collapsed { visibility: unset !important; } } Drive constantly spits a f#$kton of errors in the console, ugh. The "Done" button doesn't work here. You may need to refresh the page to get rid of that overlay. alt. CSS: @-moz-document domain("drive.google.com") { div[class^="boqDrivesharedialogCommonAnimated"] { visibility: unset !important; opacity: 1 !important; overflow: unset !important; height: auto !important; } }

Typo there. Did you manage to remove the SSE2 requirement? If not, maybe add a note about it. For some unknown reason a left/middle click on this link was not giving me a download dialog on NM27.10.0 (32-bit) (2021-04-16). Neither did a right-click > "Open link in new tab". The only working way was to manually copy/paste the URL in a new tab. The links for NM27-SSE and NM28-SSE worked fine. Even more strange, it worked when i tested one last time while writing this. Fluke? Some rare bug? uBlock interfering? My system just acting-up? No clue... [edit] After it worked once, i can't reproduce this anymore.

About the laser cleaning, inside are some mirrors that can get accidentally damaged if not careful. They are glass (or similar) squares coated with very thin layer of paint, which actually makes them a mirror. Touching the paint with alcohol or even blowing on it with moist breath will damage it. And, if tearing a defective CD/DVD drive for useful parts, make sure to keep the lens. Stick them to your phone camera (a tiny drop of water works as glue) and you can shoot macro pics from extra-small distance :P

I use the NewMoon 27 SSE builds by Roy. It's not that the font is too huge ( i actually increase most font sizes for easier reading from distance), i just thought that making the pinned topics smaller when wrapped by your script would look better and reduce the need for scrolling.

Well, today i did as you described and got Win98 on that D830 in about the same state as yours. The only notable difference should be that i have a NVidia GPU here, i selected the 32MB VBEMP driver and it worked fine. Unfortunately, i didn't have time to do any experiments with it. Maybe next week, if things aren't too crazy at work...

@VistaLover You use both Greasemonkey and Violentmonkey at the same time in the same St52 profile?! I'm curious, what GUI changes are you making with GM there (i already use Classic Theme Restorer here)?

siria, it works, yay! I have wondered before why so many bookmarklets were written as functions, so that must be it. Is there an easy way to also vertically shrink the wrapped topics? Like, minimize the white space and/or reduce the fonts? --- Dave-H, +1 --- Hey, i really wanted to see them sinking for couple days... Anyways, too late now.

@dencorso Maybe unpin the redirects while waiting for the weekend, so we can see how much they will dive? @siria I tried to quickly test your script as a bookmarklet (in NM27) by appending javascript: in the begining. I did it in the Win9x forums, but nothing happened. Then tried through the web console, it says "SyntaxError: missing } in compound statement" [edit] Removing the comment line made it work in the web console. As a bookmarklet it has some issue though. It wraps the pinned topics as intended, but then quickly cleans the page, leaving only the text [object HTMLLIElement]

It is similar here now ever since i hid listComPorts.exe from the IDE. Minimal CPU usage most of the time. No downsides observed yet, only visual difference is that the type of the connected device isn't shown in the Ports submenu.

@Drugwash Do you happen to have 2GB swap set in Mint? Maybe disable/change its size and check again if the value reported in Wine changes?

OK, i just tested 1.6.7 It has a similar issue with the same result (CPU constantly at 100%). But in this version the cause is clearly visible. javaw.exe constantly spawns hardware\tools\listComPorts.exe - as soon as the last process fineshes, a new one is started. This eats up my CPU. Running listComPorts.exe manually from the command line, it executes for about 5 seconds while checking my 14 currently active serial ports - one real COM, two Blackberry ports, and the rest are Bluetooth ports. Including the currently inactive (hidden in Device manager) ports, the total is 37 serial and 2 LPT ports, lol. If i rename listComPorts.exe so the IDE can't start it, the CPU usage drops to normal idle levels. The Arduino IDE obviously stops noticing if i plug in my Uno, but the port itself was previously listed in the selector anyways The newer versions probably do the same from within Java, without starting some external tool. That's why the CPU load shifts to services.exe For now i made couple batch files, one to rename listComPorts.exe and one to restore its name. I will try using the IDE like this, by enabling the port detection only when needed. I may try contacting the IDE devs (not sure how yet), but since they dropped support for XP and it works fine in Win7, i don't have high hopes for this getting fixed. Thank you, @theelf for pointing me to this version! [EDIT] Aaand it crashed when checking for updates in the Board manager... maybe because i didn't restart after changing the prefs? Worked fine after this. --- Another issue - arduino-builder.exe is compiled with SSE2 and crashes here. The one from v.1.8.9 works fine.

Any excessive CPU usage when idle? 1.8.9 uses up my whole CPU - AthlonXP, single core. I guess it wouldn't be that noticeable on multi-core systems, but here it slows down everything. Also, did you encounter any compatibility problems with such an old version? I have a bunch of ESP and Atmega MCUs, mostly unused yet because of various PC problems. Got an STM32 too a week ago, still didn't even unpack it yet.

Lol, Den... Since Java causes the issue, i thought it was on-topic, hehe.

Is anyone using the Arduino IDE in XP? Or willing to download about 100MB for a quick test? Just get the portable 1.8.9 version. Make a folder named "portable" in the same place as the .exe to avoid getting junk in your "Documents and Settings". Run arduino.exe and see if the CPU usage drops after it loads fully. It comes with its own Java and can't use the system JRE without recompiling. My issue is that whenever i start arduino.exe, which in turn starts the bundled javaw.exe, all my CPU gets hogged by the system services.exe process. This happens even when just sitting idle doing nothing. If i suspend javaw.exe, the CPU usage drops to normal. I tried to replace the bundled Java, but it doesn't start. Also tried to disable a few devices in Device manager (card reader, COM/LPT ports, etc.), but it doesn't make any difference. As a last resort i tried running it in a VM, but that was a fail as well. Recent Debian can't compile the Virtualbox 4.x drivers. Win7 in a VM is just as slow due to virtualisation overhead. My only working option currently is to every time reboot to Win7, do my arduino things, then reboot back to XP... The files used in Win7 are the same used in XP, yet the execution differs somehow.

Well, i currently have in my room three CRT monitors collecting dust for a few years already. And some more in the shack. Two are colour 17" - AOC and Daewoo. At least one should have worked properly when i last used them, don't remember which one though The third one is a 12" monochrome black/green ВММ-3111 sitting on top of my broken Apple2 clone. Been there for about a decade... In the past i also used it with an old NEC VCR when analogue FTA television was still a thing here, lol. Gotta fix that Apple (actually Pravetz8C) soon... someday... got a box of floppy disks, which i still haven't transferred to the PC, rotting under the bed... About the case of your new CRT, you can try mixing some RetroBright. I have read, that it does miracles to old plastics. Never tried it myself, though

In the network settings if you have "Client for Microsoft Networking", open its properties and select "Quick Logon". When booting, press F8, select "Step by step", and see if any specific steps/drivers cause a long delay. Also, remove that scratched CD from the drive, lol.

How would you know the extension status after this modification? For some extensions this is the only indicator. And, even when it isn't, i like to be able to tell by simply looking at my toolbar instead of digging through settings. Well, to each their own...

OK then... Maybe assume that the program doesn't support multi-level folder structure and reorganize your inbox to have only one level of folders? Instead of folder 2 inside a root folder 1, you could make a root folder 1-2, etc.

I just installed it, thanks. Seems to be running fine so far.

The About box says v.1.6.57398, but i am not sure if this is correct. I had to use older files (PotPlayerMini.exe, maybe others too, i forgot) to make it work. PotPlayer.dll is this version, while uninstall.exe is v.1.6.63840

Does it still need a system with SSE2 support? I am stuck on a version from 2015 because of this...

I looked up that "Flash killswitch image" since i can't run the latest Flash versions and haven't seen it... and stumbled upon this patcher. Thought it could be useful for someone. Unfortunately, it's made for .NET 4.5 and won't run on XP...

@Mr.Scienceman2000 I never touched Mailnews, so may be wrong, but... There should be some local index, database, or whatever to tell the program what messages are already downloaded. What would happen if you clear that and then check for new messages? Does it bring the inbox to working state without clearing all of the config files? Is there a command line option to open specific folder on startup? You can try using that with a known good folder. Another possibility is if you used some unsupported characters in the names of those folders and it confuses the program. Try to create a folder using only the normal 26 latin letters and check if it triggers this issue. Or try with just a number for folder name.
