    I now see that @NotHereToPlayGames has just said pretty much the same thing! There seems to be no equivalent to that functionality now.

    Sounds good! Delaying ProxHTTPSProxy.exe auto-starting by 10 seconds with Startup Delayer does work. I'm afraid from my experiments at the moment I prefer my TrayIt! solution though. I got really used to just being able to click on the Proxy icon to bring its window up, and clicking it again to put it back in the tray.
  3. Dave-H
    Probably!

    Ah, understood! I was caught out because the proxy always used to start on boot by default for me with previous installations. I need it running all the time because my e-mails in Eudora don't display properly without it. I have Startup Delayer already installed and running to delay other things, so I will just use that.

    The documentation seems fine to me. Would you like another Word document of the proofed version with a bigger font? One thing I'm now finding is that although Min2Tray and PopMenu run at boot fine, HTTPSProxy doesn't. I have to start it manually. What have I missed?

    OK. I don't like using the Windows 'hide inactive icons' option much. I have always had it disabled, and using it just puts an extender double arrow in place of the hidden icon, so you don't gain any space if you're only hiding one icon! I will investigate further! I've attached a proof-read copy of the main document (which I actually hadn't read, I only read the 'Readme First!' one!) I've marked the corrections in red (which is why it has to be a Word document) I hope you can read it OK. Cheers, Dave. Documentation of ProxHTTPSProxy.docx

    I did read it, I must have forgotten that bit! I'll look again and report back!

    OK, first impressions, all works really well! My first question is, is it possible to hide the Min2Tray icon in the system tray? I can't see any obvious setting to do that. My tray is already pretty cluttered and the Proxy icon and PopMenu icon I obviously want there, but I can't see any reason to have to keep the Min2Tray icon there.

    The sound is fine for me with 13.5. The browser is a bit of a resource hog though, maybe that's the problem? Try with version 11 and see if it's the same, apparently that's much lighter on resources. It's certainly a very capable browser, I've found very few sites which malfunction using it.

    I think it's unlikely. My understanding was that versions after 13.x would not be XP compatible, and in fact would be 64 bit only. Be very careful if you do run that installer and it works, I tried one installer (13.6 I think) and it installed a lot of unwanted crap on my machine!
  11. Dave-H
    Yes thanks, installed for me on August 18th 2018.

    Off-topic, and FWIW, my version of msiexec.exe is later still, version 4.5.6002.24433. No idea where it came from, but I guess it was a POSReady update.
  13. Dave-H
    QED.

    If the program's installer needs a later version of Windows Installer than is supported on XP, is the program itself compatible with XP? This wouldn't be unknown, but if the program will work on XP but won't install on XP the only answer is probably to install it on a machine with a later version of Windows and copy the installation over to the XP machine. How difficult (or possible) this is varies from program to program of course.
  15. Dave-H
    The other way around actually, they work but won't install as the installer became XP incompatible. 8u152 is the last with a working installer as you say, but versions up to 8u241 do work on XP if you do a rather tedious manual install process. 8u251 contains one XP incompatible file (sunmscapi.dll) which has to be replaced with the version from 8u241, but otherwise works. After 8u251 the file incompatibilities got so much worse it wasn't worth the trouble of trying to get it to work anymore!
  16. Dave-H
    There are drivers listed here which claim to be XP compatible. Don't get your hopes up too much though as very often I've found that supposedly XP compatible drivers on sites like that are not actually compatible at all.
  17. Dave-H
    So what does the ProxHTTPSProxy.exe file actually do in ProxyMII? Does it just run the ProxHTTPSProxy.bat batch file? I must say that I was puzzled as to why it was there, and I did wonder if it was there for compatibility reasons with other versions.
  18. Dave-H
    HWiNFO certainly does support XP, it even works on Windows 98!
  19. Dave-H
    FWIW, I found it still worked fine with 'localhost' instead of the actual IP address, the same settings as my existing ProxHTTPSProxy in fact.
  20. Dave-H
    Off-topic of course, but I concur. POSReady updates have never given me any problems, but they did give me an extra five years worth of security updates!
  21. Dave-H
    I didn't download it. Don't worry, I'll wait for the replacement version.
  22. Dave-H
    Where is the 'archive' now? I thought the original was pulled because of licencing problems.
  23. Dave-H
    Thanks for that @rereser, I didn't know they had an international site. I guess they haven't got around to 'updating' that one yet!
  24. Dave-H
    Well I'll have to make the move sometime, but not quite yet! When Firefox 52.9 ESR becomes unusable I will have to. Frankly I'm surprised that Mozilla still allow 52.9 ESR to use Firefox sync, browser companies usually stop older versions using their syncing systems, citing security risks.
  25. Dave-H
    Thanks, good to know that there is a possible workaround. Personally I have Firefox 102 and Edge 103 on Windows 10 to fall back on with my multi-boot machine, so it wouldn't be worth it going to that trouble. It's annoying, but I can put up with it. It's just good to know what the problem actually is! The main problem will be when sites that I use all the time start failing in 360Chrome. I've already found more failing in Firefox 52.9 ESR, the latest being https://forums.digitalspy.com which suddenly started just producing a blank white page unless JavaScript was disabled. This is a site I use all the time. Some functionality is lost with JavaScript disabled, but at least I can still read the forums there! It's still OK in 360Chrome, touch wood!
