I have all the updates mentioned already installed, up to date root certificates, and the necessary entries in the Internet Options applet and in the ProxHTTPSProxy config.ini. I'm still just getting error 0x80072F8F, saying my machine's clock probably isn't right. It is, needless to say! "Your computer's date and time appear to be out of sync with an update certificate" So what am I missing? A certificate presumably, but which one?

Understood, I hope someone else who does have an account will be able to confirm whether they are seeing the same issue or not.

Unfortunately it seems to be difficult, if not impossible, to see Instagram comments without logging in.

Bad practice I know, but I'm permanently logged in to Instagram!

It just says "inherit;" on all the font parameters.

I've now noticed that in 360Chrome 13.5, all the emojis on Instagram just appear as rectangles. Everywhere else they seem to be OK. Anyone any idea why?

OK, just an update on where I am with this now. @George Kingis still working on his installation package, so I've now gone back to working with my original installation of XP. I've now got most things working, including Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, the mouse and touchpad are OK, and the USB system all works. I'm still having to use just the basic Microsoft graphics driver, but I'm pretty sure I'll have to just live with that, as I did on my last netbook. I still have no sound, and the sound hardware is not being recognised at all. On every boot I'm still getting 13 errors recorded in the event log about missing IRQs for hardware devices. These are - IRQARB: ACPI BIOS does not contain an IRQ for the device in PCI slot 0, function 0. Please contact your system vendor for technical assistance. IRQARB: ACPI BIOS does not contain an IRQ for the device in PCI slot 0, function 0. Please contact your system vendor for technical assistance.

IRQARB: ACPI BIOS does not contain an IRQ for the device in PCI slot 31, function 3. Please contact your system vendor for technical assistance. As you can see, most of them are duplicated, I don't know why. That's not the order they are recorded in, I've sorted them by slot number. Until this is resolved, if it can be, I suspect what I have now is the best I can do. The only option I guess is a modified BIOS, which @Dietmarhas mentioned, and I'm willing to try that, but only if it doesn't mess up dual booting with Windows 10. I also need to be confident that I can roll back to the previous BIOS if things go wrong, and I don't just end up with a permanently bricked machine! The other main issue, which may or may not be connected to the missing IRQs, is that the machine will not work properly in Multiprocessor ACPI mode. I can switch it to that, but if I do a lot of the USB devices stop working. Why this should be I don't know, but I guess it's a resources problem of some sort. I'm happy to have got as far as I have done, with all of your help. This machine is obviously very XP unfriendly! It would be nice to have the sound working at least though. Cheers, Dave.

FWIW, I think if a PowerPoint presentation has sound when it's played through headphones, it would be extremely unlikely not to produce sound through speakers as well. As for why your speakers aren't working, it could just be a hardware failure of course. Put your ear right to the speakers when you boot up. Is there any sound at all during the boot process, even a short faint click or pop? If not, it could well be hardware.

What a shame that the new version is x64 only. Absolutely the right decision not to go to the trouble of updating it though, the demand for a 64 bit version of 360Chrome on XP would be very low indeed!

Thanks. Just getting the supposed clock setting error now.

Sorry been away for a while. To answer the earlier questions, yes I do use ProxHTTPSProxy. I also use heinoganda's root certificates updater. I do indeed have Chrome Frame installed in IE8, but it was of course disabled when I did the tests.

Everything is as it should be. I checked for root certificate updates only a couple of days ago. The page doesn't tell you what the asterisks mean!

Here you go. My system is fully POSReady updated and has TLS 1.2 enabled (I think!)

Just to feed back that repack #6 of version 13.5 is working fine with my existing profile. At least no immediate problems noticed.

FWIW I'm getting error 0x80072F7D, not 0x80072EFF.

Yes, I can add extensions with a button on the Web Store pages, so definitely not "un-Googled"! I will try putting the updated version into a temporary folder and transfer my existing profile to it, and see if it works. If not, no big deal if I have to start from scratch again, although I have saved a lot of (non-critical!) passwords and that sort of thing, which I would rather not have to do all over again!

Just yet another quick question @NotHereToPlayGamesabout the new version of 13.5. It says on the first post that the links are "Download links for starting from scratch with a NEW PROFILE:" That implies that they can't be used with an existing profile, is that right? Also I can't remember whether I have an un-Googled version or not! I can use the Chrome Web Store, so am I right in assuming it must be a version that isn't "un-Googled"? Thanks, Dave.

Yes indeed, I have sometimes had to revert to older versions because updates don't actually work any more with the browser. I've done that on Firefox a few times, one recent update was to the Avast Online Security extension, which updated and no longer worked in Firefox 52.9 ESR, even though the extensions page for it said that it should do!

Thanks, yes I do remember you saying in the past that you don't like anything automatically updating. As long as the extension still works, it's not a problem if it's not the latest version of course, unless there's been a security issue discovered in it.

Just another very quick question @NotHereToPlayGames. Does your version of 360Chrome automatically update extensions? I can't see any sign of that, or indeed any way to update them manually!

I added an equivalent extra second line to the userContent.css code and the videos now appear on Firefox 52.9 ESR. @-moz-document domain(instagram.com) { div._97aPb > div { display: block !important; } div._97aPb > div > div { display: block !important; } div.Igw0E > div { display: block !important; } div.Igw0E > div > div { display: block !important; } However the dots underneath carousels are still missing, and some, but not all, of the videos still look low resolution for some reason, almost like they are small frame size versions blown up to fill the windows. Very strange, but it's better than not being able to see them at all!

OK, I've set things up in Stylus, and it works! Thanks very much. The resulting font on Digital Spy looks a bit blurry, but at least things like italics are rendered properly now. All my research indicates that custom.css no longer works in later Chromium versions.

That path doesn't seem to exist in 360Chrome.

I guess there's no equivalent in Chromium browsers to the {Profile}\Chrome\userContent.css file in Firefox?

Oh dear, I really don't want o have to install another extension just to fix this! I was hoping there was a simpler answer than that.
