    I changed the KernelEx settings. I hope this is right. No difference with the freezing. It is actually doing it on some other sites as well, loading the page but then saying it's downloading something else but never completes. It isn't apparently completely frozen as the animation top right of the window is still running, but it won't respond to any mouse clicks anywhere and has to be forcibly closed down. Where is this log? Sorry but I'm not familiar with this part of KernelEx.

    Thanks guys, I'll chew over all that and get back to you. I've been using KernelEx for many years now, but I'm no expert on its complexities, especially since jumper's great work over the last few years in keeping it going. I'll try and get my head around it! Cheers, Dave.

    @roytam1 @schwups I've moved our conversation here as it doesn't relate to Windows XP (or Vista/2000). I hope you're OK with that and we can carry it on. Cheers, Dave.

    @schwups I didn't have any luck with the later version of Firefox 3.6. For some reason, it won't run at all. When I run it, nothing happens. I tried it on Windows XP, and nothing happens when I run it there either. I have firefox.exe set to Windows 2000 SP4 mode in KernelEx, I assume that's correct. I had better luck with K-Meleon 74. The newer version definitely seems to be more stable. It still freezes on the Trend Micro page though. If I run it in XP, it loads the page fine. Again, I have kmeleion.exe set to Windows 2000 SP4 in KernelEx. I've moved this conversation here from the original thread which is intended to be about browsers on XP, Vista, and 2000, not Windows 98, so we can carry on with it here if you're happy to do so. Cheers, Dave.

    Thanks, I'll give that a try as well! I'll let you know how it goes.

    No I don't think so, all the files packed in the version I've got are from 2017 or earlier. That one has quite a few from 2020. Thanks, I'll give that version a try! I assume I can keep the same profile folder?

    Thanks @roytam1. What is "fx3.6"? If that's Firefox 3.6, that's what I'm already using.

    @roytam1 Some time ago, IIRC you created experimentally a couple of builds of old browsers which would work on Windows 98SE with updated security protocols. I've been using your builds of Firefox 3.6 Community Edition and K-Meleon 74 for quite some time now on Windows 98SE, and they have both worked fine, although there are some stability issues with K-Meleon. The only thing I regularly use Firefox 3.6 for is downloading weekly virus pattern updates from Trend Micro to keep my ancient installation of PC-cillin 2002 up to date. This has always worked fine until recently, but now although I can access the download page fine, when i try to actually download the file, I'm getting this - I have tried with K-Meleon, but that just freezes on the download page. However, if I copy the location of the pattern file from Firefox 3.6, and paste that into K-Meleon, I can then download the file! A workaround, but a bit awkward. Can anything be now done about the security error in Firefox 3.6, or is it now a lost cause? Strange that I can still access the download page itself, but not the file I need to download. Cheers, Dave.
  9. Dave-H
    OK I've updated the file. No apparent difference, the sound problem is still there and it still won't restart, but good to know that I do still have the latest version.
  10. Dave-H
    Thanks, in that case I will update it.
  11. Dave-H
    Is this a later version than the one I have, which is '5,1,2600,7777 built by: Administrator' with modified date 09 May 2022, 20:21:16?
  12. Dave-H
    Do you think seriously that I should downgrade to version 13.0 then? I'm quite happy to do that as long as my existing profile will still work.
  13. Dave-H
    English only in this forum please.
  14. Dave-H
    That's why I didn't click on anything, I don't want that performance again!
  15. Dave-H
    Another interesting thing I've run across with v13.5. If you enable the 'Enable prerender' option in the speedup dialogue, instead of the usual popup when the system thinks it need cleaning, I get a smaller different popup, and when I click on it, instead of the usual options window I get this - Some sort of Chinese optimisation software perhaps? Needless to say I haven't clicked on any of it!
  16. Dave-H
    That's brilliant, thank you so much!
  17. Dave-H
    Ah thanks, that makes perfect sense! I had already tried adding image.email.tfl.gov.uk to the entries in the various sections of config.ini, but it seemed to make no difference. I will try again!
  18. Dave-H
    Thanks both! I wonder why it works for @RainyShadow and not for me if we're using the same proxy server? As I said, it does work for me in Google Chrome 49 too, which would seem to indicate that it's a problem just with my IE8 setup.

    Just an aside query. I get an e-mail every week from the transport system here in London, which always has a banner image header. The images did not work in my e-mail program for a long time, as it uses the Internet Explorer engine to display messages, and the images often failed on XP because of certificate problems. This came good after I started using a proxy server, but it has now failed again. Strangely the failure now only seems to be with IE8, the image displays fine in Google Chrome 49 and 360Chrome using the IE Proxy mode. It's fine anyway in Firefox of course. I can't identify when it started failing again, I don't think it was when I switched from HTTPSProxy back to ProxHTTPSProxy, but it might have been. Chrome 49 uses ProxHTTPSProxy though, and it's fine there. Can anyone else see if they can display this image in IE8? https://image.email.tfl.gov.uk/lib/fe3e15707564047c731479/m/2/ae4f07c2-52c6-4bb3-ac03-7ac5d4dd1865.jpg If not, I wonder what's wrong?
  20. Dave-H
    Fine by me, but I'll bring this to the attention of @Tripredacus and @dencorso in case they have any reservations about it.
  21. Dave-H
    That's good to know. I'm afraid I can't immediately identify anyone here specifically who could do this. I seem to remember that @heinoganda was very much a one-man band, and I don't remember anyone else directly contributing to his work.
  22. Dave-H
    Ah OK, thanks! That's a bit disappointing, but at least the potential is there to add the necessary TLS 1.3 support. Now we just need someone to do it!
  23. Dave-H
    My apologies @VistaLover, I've just realised that I never responded to this! I did try this out, and the answer (in IE8) on TLS 1.3 was 'no' I'm afraid. Is there something else that needs to be configured, I wonder?
  24. Dave-H
    Well it doesn't really need a tutorial, at least not for anyone here I would have thought. As long as you have the Devcon program, which is readily downloadable, you just need to put it somewhere where it can be found, such as the \Windows\System32 folder, and put those commands into a text file and save them as a .bat batch file. @Damnation would obviously have to put in the appropriate ID for his problem device. How you run it doesn't really matter I wouldn't have thought, you could run it manually after boot if you want to, or from the registry or just put it in the startup folder as I did. I'm not sure whether the most recent versions of Devcon work on XP, so just in case an XP compatible version is now hard to find, I've attached mine. DEVCON.zip
  25. Dave-H
    Just to say that I've found a very crude workaround for the sound problem. I've made a batch file with devcon disable "PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0F04*" devcon enable "PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0F04*" which runs from my startup folder. This works, and I now have sound without actually having to do anything manually. Not an ideal permanent solution though!
