    Thanks, new thread here.
  2. Dave-H
    @Jakob99 This thread is specifically for discussing the development and use of KernelEx for Windows 2000. Please discuss driver problems in a new thread.
  3. Dave-H
    FWIW it doesn't work in Google Chrome 49 either (ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH). It probably needs a later version of Chromium. It works fine in 360Chrome 13.5.

    It all still seems to be exactly the same to me on FF 52.9 ESR. Still a collapsed posting area which can't be used, and the quotes on posts are not collapsed. Also some images missing.

    Back on topic guys please. I know I made a post about Firefox Sync myself, but I didn't anticipate that it would trigger a discussion! I'm sure we could have a whole new thread about browser synchronisation systems on XP compatible browsers, but that's not what this thread was originally about.
  6. Dave-H
    Thanks @Mathwiz. I also use the latest Firefox on Windows 10 on my desktop, and on the Windows 10 side of my dual boot netbook, which also has 52.9 ESR on its XP side. So Firefox sync allows me to keep things like bookmarks and passwords in sync on five different installations, including the Android Firefox on my phone. Having said that, I have recently gone over to using 360Chrome as my default browser on XP on my main desktop, simply because FF 52.9 is now having more and more problems with sites!

    Not a paf version I'm afraid, but let me know if you'd still like 1.53.
  8. Dave-H
    FWIW, I've been using DTaskManager for many years, and it is very good, but I found the latest current version 1.57 to be very unstable on my XP system. Give it a try, but if you have problems, I have a copy of the previous version 1.53 which works fine for me.
  9. Dave-H
    Thanks for the heads-up!
  10. Dave-H
    Confirmed here. @xper Has something been changed in the forum coding recently? It was all working fine in Firefox 52.9 ESR quite recently, but no longer does. Thread moved.
  11. Dave-H
    OK, the thread's locked. I didn't immediately notice that the message boxes had changed, though looking at them again now you mention it, they are a bit bigger than before, which is better for legibility. Presumably the windows do have to come up on screen large and then shrink to the top left corner?
  12. Dave-H
    BTW, do you think that this thread can be locked now? It doesn't seem to have any future use.
  13. Dave-H
    I have to say that I haven't noticed any particular changes, but of course I never saw the original and new versions side by side. I do have quite a powerful machine, so the original programs would have worked pretty fast I would have thought, I certainly wasn't aware of any unresponsiveness or lag anywhere.
  14. Dave-H
    Just to report that I complexly removed the original version and deployed the new one, and everything appears to be still working perfectly! Great job @AstroSkipper!
  15. Dave-H
    I don't really know what to say! I'm amazed that any prospect of getting Windows 98 Update working again is remotely possible, I would have thought that Microsoft would have deleted all the necessary files from their servers years ago, but if it is still possible, then great! Mind you, I never thought that Microsoft Update would ever work again on Windows XP, but it can be made to do so, and it does!
  16. Dave-H
    Thank you!
  17. Dave-H
    Much better! I keep meaning to ask you, why do the filenames of Configure PopMenu.exe, and Setup Min2Tray.exe have spaces in them, but the others don't? Not a problem of course, just wondering if there was a reason for that!
  18. Dave-H
    Certainly OpenLANSet.exe and CloseLANSet.exe aren't much liked by the scanners!
  19. Dave-H
    As I said earlier, the thing which some scanners might think is suspicious behaviour is the opening and closing of the IE Proxy Settings function. If you left that out temporarily, if that's possible, it would be interesting to see if you got a different result.
  20. Dave-H
    I wish I knew, I've never used VirusTotal before, but I guess they somehow run the file past many different scanners which they might be scanned by if they're downloaded and executed. There are obviously only a minority of scanners there which show a negative result, and I wonder just how many files are deemed to be completely clean! It could be a fundamental problem with batch files being called by the executables, I would guess that batch files are perhaps considered to be intrinsically vulnerable, but I'm only guessing here. What you can do about it, well I'm afraid I have no idea, this is outside my knowledge I'm afraid,
  21. Dave-H
    This is what I'm seeing. I assume you meant configure popmenu.exe, not configure proxy.exe, which doesn't seem to exist.
  22. Dave-H
    As a test, I extracted your files to a temporary folder, and scanned the folder with Malwarebytes. As you can see, it was suspicious about closelanset.exe. Quite why it would be suspicious of that I'm not sure, but I guess it considers opening Windows Control Panel applets to be suspicious behaviour, which is perhaps fair enough! Why it didn't also flag openlanset.exe is a mystery though if that's the case! Stranger still, if I scan the folder containing the actually working versions of the files, it finds absolutely nothing wrong at all, even when I then scan just the closelanset.exe file!
  23. Dave-H
    No ideas to offer I'm afraid, this is not something that I have any knowledge about, but FWIW none of the versions of your programs I've used triggered any warnings for me. I'm using Malwarebytes premium, which has real-time scanning.
  24. Dave-H
    This is a final warning.

    Back away from antagonistic political discussion please guys. That is not allowed here. Rule 2b. Topics devoted to political or religious debate, unless technology related, are prohibited. MSFN is a technology forum and both political and religious debates have caused many problems and distractions in the past. Political or religious links in signatures or polite, courteous comments in non-political or non-religious topics are allowed, but we cannot allow any topics in which the sole purpose is to debate political or religious issues.
