  1. Are you sure you selected the correct drive? It may not show-up in MHDD if it is running in AHCI mode, try to change the SATA setting to IDE/Compatible in BIOS. HDD Sentinel can do a surface scan too, but there may be false issues unless you boot from another drive. And be careful to select a non-destructive test. I think you're focusing too much on the disk and forgetting the other things.
  2. So, either the drive is fine, or its firmware isn't aware of any issues. You can try a full scan with MHDD. What about the rest?
  3. This seems to be for Win8, just like the other one you posted. About USB, check in BIOS/EFI settings if you can switch it to USB2 mode for now. There are some USB3 drivers floating around the net, but better start simple first.
  4. Many "cleaners" do more harm than good, better avoid those. Check CPU/chipset/GPU/RAM temperatures. Change the thermal paste if needed. Clean the fans. Check the amount of RAM reported - some Dell systems disable a DIMM if they find it faulty during POST. This can result in extensive swap file usage due to reduced amount of available memory. Clean the memory contacts and run Memtest86. Run HDD Sentinel. Your drive may have developed bad sectors. Does the disk activity light blink too much? It should be OFF most of the time. If you have any addon cards installed, clean their contacts as well. Some may trigger excessive interrupts because of bad connection (or may have gone bad) Also, check for viruses and other malware P.S. you can also check with a new Firefox profile.
  5. Mirror of this, in case anyone needs it :P
  6. @HyperbolicEllipsoid That driver will not work on XP. The one Ximonite provided should be fine. You may need a corresponding txtsetup.oem for it though. This discussion may be helpful:
  7. @HyperbolicEllipsoid Click on the field at the bottom of the page and type your reply, no need to quote every time, ffs! You will need a driver for that SD Host Controller. Also, research about "How to install XP on SD card". Your case should be almost identical.
  8. Open Device Manager, select View > Devices by connection, find the eMMC and check what is its parent device.
  9. As a start, don't just shove Win10 drivers into XP. Use the 10 install to check precisely what devices you have, then look for suitable XP drivers. Check what bus the eMMC uses. Is it connected through USB, SATA, SPI, or by some other way?
  10. You can check the logs in Event Viewer > Application. Search for palemoon in the description field.
  11. I already told the story before. Did adding the .dll fix the about:support page for you?
  12. I use https://o.rths.ml/basilisk/basilisk52-g4.6.win32-git-20200725-4d76d4e-uxp-1e0bb1d35-xpmod-ia32.7z on my AthlonXP. (although it says 2020-07-20 in the about window, huh?!) Probably the ones whose name start with basilisk55, i never tried those though. Check the folder list and pick one.
  13. I already fooled a few coworkers with it last week :D Not for long though. btw. the etcher.io repository was failing back then, not sure if it was the server itself, or our overly-restrictive firewall. You might want to uncheck it if there are any errors with apt-get. @Dave-H If you're out of options currently, put aside couple GBs and try experimenting with a clean XP. First check without updating Windows. If none of the drivers gives any hope of working, update as much as possible and try again. Also, try without installing all the chipset drivers wherever possible.
  14. @VistaLover Thanks, i got it already. Turns out, that v.29.0.0.171 is the last version for AthlonXP. The next one v.30.0.0.113 needs SSE2.
  15. They even cleared the archive page, pfff. Where should i get the Android and WinCE builds now, lol?! [edit] v.32.0.0.371 needs a SSE2 capable CPU (at least for the installer). Is there a version between this and v.29.0.0.171 which works with SSE-only?
  16. Well, since you're gone to 10... I see that the guys over at Linuxfx got a new release recently :P Check if you'll like it. The LiveCD/USB is good enough for a preview. Too bad that they don't do 32bit x86...
  17. Any experienced Proxomitron users around? Would it be possible to make a set of filters , that load the "classic" .js files from the wayback machine (or local copies) instead of the current polymer files? Do you think this could work?
  18. I thought the firmware is loaded by the driver during boot. Try this guide
  19. Get the LAV filter DLLs from the second post, extract in the browser folder. P.S. I only noticed this bug because i had the SSE2 files by mistake, so when the newest build tried to use those i got an "invalid opcode" crash in avcodec-lav-57.dll (meaning they were never used before, huh?!). Before extracting the correct files, i tested the browser by itself - that's how i discovered this...
  20. do you have avcodec-lav-57.dll in the browser folder or somewhere else in your path?
  21. Add Bookmark Helper still not working. New issue - if the LAV codec files are not present in the browser folder, opening about:support results in a crash in xul.dll.
  22. @galahs seems to be missing since 2012. If you're up for the task, maybe ask @dencorso to insert your post in the begining, so you can update it freely.
  23. @ED_Sln Does this need specific versions of these files, or any version for Server2k3 would do? [edit] just downloaded Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (32-bit x86) , it has these two files inside. I may not be able to test them before monday though.
