    Sounds great, looking forward to trying it out!

    AFAIK you still can't install later versions of KernelEx as they are. You have to first install the last version of the original KernelEx, 4.5.2, and then update it with the later files. Is that still correct @jumper?
  3. Dave-H
    Yes, it was working when I removed an update to test it, and I assume it still is. Maybe it's only the routine automatic checks which are failing. The message does say that it will try again, but there seems to be no way of knowing whether it did actually do that. If it did, presumably it then succeeded as there is only ever one message each session.
  4. Dave-H
    OK, fair enough!
  5. Dave-H
    No joy I'm afraid, the error messages are still there.

    I can't see much point in going to all the trouble to translate a browser based on Chromium 80, when 360Chrome 13.5 is based on Chromium 86.
  7. Dave-H
    OK I've done that, I'll let you know what happens!

    I would say 'leftover' myself, but 'remnant' is just as good! The error is still coming up unfortunately. I did wonder if it was because it checks on boot, and needs HTTPSProxy to work, and HTTPSProxy is just not up and running quickly enough to prevent the check failing, but today the error appeared long after the machine was booted up, so that can't be the case. Maybe the automatic checking system just can't use HTTPSProxy.

    Thanks, I'll delete it and report back if it makes any difference or not.

    @AstroSkipper Just to clarify before I try it, do you mean delete the entire 'Auto Update' key, or just that 'ODFFileURL' entry?
  11. Dave-H
    Thanks, I'll give that a try!

    Hi again! Just to mention that I'm still getting an error message in my event logs when Automatic Updates does a check. Obviously I could just switch it off, but I'd like to fix it if possible. I've now noticed that under registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update there is an entry called 'ODFFileURL'. This is pointing to 'http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/odf/wuodf.xml' and this URL is dead. Could that be why it's failing, and can the wuodf.xml be retrieved from anywhere else if that's the case? Searching hasn't found anything obvious I could try.

    Back on topic please guys. This isn't the place for debates on the rights and wrongs of car usage.

    Just the fact that TLS 1.3 support can't be added to HTTPSProxy, except possibly by its original author presumably.
  15. Dave-H
    That's a shame, but doesn't surprise me.
  16. Dave-H
    I have to say that it would be great to get TLS 1.3 support in HTTPSProxy. I guess the necessary data can't be easily transferred across from ProxHTTPSProxyMII Rev3e though. If if were possible to get HTTPSProxy's launcher working with ProxHTTPSProxyMII that would do the job, but I guess it's not possible as they are too integrated.
  17. Dave-H
    Well I haven't got it unblocked, and it all works fine. My only relevant Firewall exemption is for HTTPSProxy. 🙂

    We've had a bit of a discussion about this recently in the moderators' section, and post bumping too. I agree that responses which just say "It doesn't work, what do I do now" are rather less than helpful, but I keep telling myself that a lot of members do not have English as their first language, and therefore may not be particularly confident about posting complex messages. I do agree that this can be very frustrating if you're trying to help someone though, and if they don't respond more helpfully even after much prompting, there's not much you can do!
  19. Dave-H
    I had that too, and @NotHereToPlayGames told me how to fix it here. HTH.

    My XP programs

    Dave-H replied to ntfoxy's topic in Windows XP

    I seem to remember that I had to manually create that registry key as well. Try creating it and reboot and see if it populates itself.

    There are a huge number of post-SP2 updates for Office 2010. It will take a very long time for Microsoft Update to find them and install them. Leave it overnight and see how far it gets.
  22. Dave-H
    I second that @Drugwash, great to see you posting again!
  23. Dave-H
    As long as their sites work in the latest versions of Edge and Google Chrome (and Safari for Macs), that's all the authors of a lot of sites care about now.
  24. Dave-H
    Mine is the regular version. Do you think it might be simply an automatic check for program updates? It stops as soon as you actually load a web page.

    I would hope that nobody would be banned for discussing donations, subject to the normal forum rules being observed of course.. I would state that as far as I'm concerned "political rants" are not "running amok" here. They have been and will be shut down very quickly if they come to the attention of the moderators, either by their monitoring or by members' reports. They are not permitted according to a very specific forum rule, certainly not in technical threads. I do agree that a breakdown of the costs of maintaining this forum would be a good thing to see, but that is up to @xper as to whether he feels that he needs to provide that information. I don't think that anyone would not agree that this forum is a very valuable resource, and to keep it online with the high level forum software that it uses, and the costs of its server space, is not going to come cheap. I suspect that advertising revenue is low and a very small part of the necessary income, leaving subscriptions and donations as the only thing keeping it alive. Anyway, back on topic here please. Any further observations regarding donations please post here.
