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?

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.

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!

Instagram videos not working in Firefox 52 ESR?
Dave-H replied to Dave-H's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
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!
