Well I never heard of that, you learn something new every day! I'll have to see if I can find some of those. Although I can put ISOs onto Blu-ray disks, I can't print on them with my printer as they are too thick to work in it!

Yes, all the different flavours of writeable DVDs are the same capacity, I think they're actually 4.7GB. I usually use DVD-R disks as I've found them to be the most reliable when it comes to reading them on other drives. Blu-ray disks are 50GB capacity, an enormous difference!

Perfect, thank you! I used the "Custom UserAgent String" extension. I'm very well thanks!

Thanks for the heads up!

https://imgur.com/ doesn't work here on FF 52.9.1 ESR. Just a blank black page.

I didn't realise that option was only available if Windows was activated. My installation was activated automatically with a digital licence when it was first installed, so it's never not been activated.

There was one Windows 10 64bit ISO recently that wouldn't fit on a DVD either I found, although strangely the next version would! As I always have trouble booting from memory sticks on my machine, I ended up burning the ISO to a Blu-ray disk, but you have to have a Blu-ray drive for that of course. If you look in Settings>Personalisation>Taskbar>Taskbar behaviours there is an option there to move the icons back to the left.

Well it's still working at the moment, I got a cumulative update patch via Windows Update two days ago, and Windows Update still seems to be working now, patching the Windows Defender. I'm guessing the "change", if it happens, may well come with the next Patch Tuesday roll-out on September 14th. We will see what happens!

I seem to remember that there was a hostile cyber attack on NHS systems a few years ago. Much as I love XP, unless they are paying MS for current security updates, I hope those machines aren't connected to the internet! Windows Embedded 2009 still runs on the self-service tills in my local Marks and Spencer shop BTW, saw one booting up only yesterday, but didn't get a picture sadly.

I'm amazed that it would be, it's still only in beta!

Probably some useful hints here as well. https://msfn.org/board/topic/118097-day-to-day-running-win-9xme-with-more-than-1-gib-ram I don't know about in a VM, but I've been running Windows 98 accessing 3GB of RAM for years!

Ah thanks, the setup didn't make it at all obvious how to install it with a local account, but it did once I found how. As you say, must have been because it's the Pro version.

I managed to install Windows 11 on my ancient (for a computer) 2009 motherboard. After a few Windows Updates I now have Windows 11 Pro 21H2 build 22000.160. First impression is that it's pretty much Windows 10 with a slightly different GUI. Mainly the Start Menu is different, other changes, like to Explorer, seem to be just cosmetic, different icons etc. The settings menu does look different, but its functionality is exactly the same as far as I can see. I was very pleased to find that some things which I thought might well have been gone are in fact still there. The old Control Panel is still there, to my great surprise. Windows 7 Backup and Restore is still there, which pleased me as I do use it. I was pleased to find that I could still use a local account, exactly as on Windows 10. I had read some reports saying that was no longer possible, and you had to sign in with a Microsoft account. Internet Explorer does seem to be finally gone. A stub remains that just goes to the MSN homepage on Edge if you run it. All the apps seem to be pretty much as on Windows 10, and work exactly the same. Start Menu live tiles have gone completely, replace by boring fixed size static icons, which I think is a great shame, as I found the live tiles useful on some apps, like weather, news and photos. Why they removed them I don't know, perhaps they thought they were a waste of resources. Apparently Open/Classic Shell no longer works properly on Windows 11 at present, which is a huge shame, but I hope that can be fixed by its developers. So, fairly underwhelming IMO.

Windows 11 found and installed a driver for my Nvidia Quadro 2000 absolutely fine, it's working just as it does on Windows 10.

@GD 2W10 Pleased to report that I managed to install Windows 11 on my 12 year old motherboard! I got a Windows 11 ISO using the uupdump.net procedure detailed here, but it wouldn't install as it of course failed the system requirements check. Thanks to your workaround detailed above, I managed to get around that and do a successful install, which seems to be working fine! It had to be a clean install, so I'm not using it seriously yet, and it will be a long time before I will, but good to find that it is possible to update even on my old hardware. Gives me something new to play with anyway!

I'll certainly consider New Moon as an option if (and when) I have to finally abandon Firefox 52.9 ESR. At the moment I keep it mainly because it still works fine 90% of the time, and it synchronises with my other Firefox browsers on Windows 10 and on my phone. Actually AFAIK Roytam1's Serpent is the closest to Firefox 52.9 ESR, not New Moon.

Ah, understood! I just thought I'd mention it just in case.

I managed to get WebGL working with Firefox 52.9.1 ESR with my old ATI video card. See here and subsequent posts.

Interesting you should mention that! I don't use New Moon, but I'm having exactly the same problem suddenly with Facebook comments using Firefox 52.9.1 ESR. As you say, you can now only type one character. What I've found I have to now do is to type the first character, then press the "End" key, and after that I can then type the rest. Very strange! FWIW I don't have any problem with the bookmark sorting.

As your browser GUI seems to be set to English, I can only assume that you have some bookmarks with non-English characters at the start of their names, which is causing them to apparently sort incorrectly. What happens if you edit the affected bookmarks and change their names to English equivalents, do they sort correctly then? I don't think that the system locale is relevant here.

That is odd! What language is the browser actually set up in?

I can't imagine why it wouldn't, but I'm sure someone with a Vista installation will confirm or deny that!

The usual way to sort bookmarks on Mozilla browsers is to right click on the bookmarks' folder, and select "Sort by Name". It can't be done in the list of bookmarks itself, and A>Z is the only sort option.

If you want a link to a specific comment, just click on the three dots to the top right of the comment, and select "share".

Thanks, I've referred the GPU-Z dev to that thread to see if it helps. At least he will know that he's not the only one having this problem!
