What new design is that? YouTube looks exactly the same to me on Firefox 52 ESR on Windows XP as it does on Firefox 72 on Windows 10. Should I be seeing something different on Windows 10?

It doesn't look very old to me, the fact that it (presumably) has a touch screen rather than hardware buttons would bear that out.

No problem, I'm sure that the mods will see that there's actually no problem with the post you accidentally reported. Hopefully they will read this as well and realize what happened!

Off-topic, but is the Chromium version of Edge actually deployed in the latest version of Windows 10 (1909)? If so, I haven't seen any difference, so I guess the UI is exactly the same as before.

No problem I've found it now! Still seems to be perfectly OK here, both videos play fine, and it looks exactly the same as all other channels.

Sorry, I can't find that Instagram account to check it. Just to confirm, is it called "alexii__._ dance"? The formatting looks a bit odd.

Not seeing that here, everything seems to be working normally.

I had to do exactly that as the offline files sync suddenly stopped working between my main machine when running Windows 10 and my Netbook when running XP. Re-enabling SMB 1 on the Windows 10 installation sorted it out straight away. I hope MS don't eventually permanently disable it.

Yes, seems to be fine now here too! Thanks.

Thanks, glad I'm not the only one!

I'm now getting a nag banner popping up on MSFN all the time, on Firefox 52.9ESR/Windows XP and Firefox 71/Windows 10 asking me to switch off my ad blocker on the site and/or register and donate. As I already have my ad blocker (AdBlock+) disabled on MSFN, and I am a "Platinum Sponsor", I'm a bit puzzled by this! I think it started when the New Year started, does something on MSFN need to be updated?

Thanks for that, yes confirmed working fine here now on a system that it wasn't working on before, so I guess the problem was pointed out to their webmasters and was fixed!

Happy New Year to you too! Surely you would be better off asking this in the Windows 7 forum? There's already one thread at least.

@Goodmaneuver's suggestion looks fine to me!

@dencorso This discussion is now way off the original topic. The thread title really should be changed at least, which AFAIK can still be done by the OP editing the first post.

LOL, pedantic as always!

You're not called "The Finder" for nothing Jaclaz! I'm really amazed that the forum hasn't had the Christmas logo since 2015. Shows just how unobservant I am!

D-oh! Yes of course! The only lines I actually have ">nul" at the end of are - MODE CON CODEPAGE PREPARE=((850) C:\WIN-98\COMMAND\EGA.CPI) >nul MODE CON CODEPAGE SELECT=850 >nul IIRC that's to stop them printing the output to the screen, but of course they are still active.

Oh right, thanks Jaclaz. I've always used the ">nul" trick which I read about donkey's years ago. I always assumed that putting anything at the beginning of the line would possibly actually disable it, like putting "REM" or ";". I'll give that a try as it would look a bit more elegant. What's actually the downside of redirecting to NUL, does it waste memory or something?

Or if you want to hide just that line, but still display the others, add ">nul" at the end of the line, with a space before it.

MSFN always used to have a Christmas logo at his time of year, but not this year. Bah, humbug!

Sounds like the same procedure as it is for doing it over the phone. I had to activate Office 2010 on XP the same way as it wouldn't activate online (which it would on Windows 10 of course). It said that phone activation was no longer available too, but it still worked! That app sounds much better than typing all those numbers in using your phone keypad listening to voice prompts, if I ever have to do it again I'll certainly try it!

When you look at the console window of HTTPSProxy, what is it actually doing while it's using so much memory with your browsers closed? I can only think that something else on the system must be generating a lot of network traffic!

That does look a bit excessive, mine takes about 3 Mb when it's idle, and about 6 Mb while I have a Firefox tab open! Is the memory use still high with your browsers and/or e-mail programs closed?
