    Well I did check that there were no absolute paths in the script which would need changing. It's something I'm well used to with a multi-boot system where the paths are not necessarily standard! I couldn't see anything obvious though.

    I've just tried it. Same result I'm afraid.
  3. Dave-H
    Thank you, that makes the sad scenario very clear. So basically, they're now all in it together!

    Thanks for the Part 3 browser thread @roytam1 The Part 2 thread has now been locked and moved to the pinned topics subforum. Cheers, Dave.

    This topic is continued here.

    So is Firefox 88 actually now a Chromium browser, or is it just aping a Chromium browser? I thought the Mozilla devs were still working with their own engine, not now using Chromium code. if the latter is the case, that's really sad.
  7. Dave-H
    FWIW Google Drive works fine in current versions of Firefox, so there's no "Chromium only" policy there as far as I can see.

    That wsusscn2.cab file doesn't work for me in WUMT, I just get a "No signature was present in the subject" error like with all the other recent ones,

    I had to reactivate my system a couple of times because I changed the motherboard. It never worked online, but I did do it by telephone, despite it saying that phone activation was no longer available. A tedious business, but it did work! I had to do the same with Office 2010.

    If I were managing a company that had paid a fortune to Microsoft for extended support for an operating system, I would not be at all amused to find that those updates were now freely available to download by anyone! It can't be a simple as that, surely?

    Another MSO.DLL in KB4504738 which is incompatible with XP.
  12. Dave-H
    I don't know about Windows 2000, but it does say that the XP SP3 updates which go up to 2019 are pretty much the same as the POSReady 2009 updates that many of us here were using with a registry tweak on the system to fool Windows Update that we had POSReady 2009 installed. I would be surprised if paid-for extended support updates would be so readily publicly downloadable.

    A bit late reporting this time, but a cornucopia of no less than seven Office 2010 updates this month. To paraphrase Mark Twain, reports of the End of Life of Office 2010 have obviously been greatly exaggerated!

    Of course, no problem! We're not actually quite at 200 pages for the present thread yet anyway. Cheers, Dave.

    Thanks Den. @roytam1could I suggest that you wait until you publish your next set of browser updates, and put them at the head of a part 3 thread. That would seem to me to be the best time to do it. The part 2 thread can then be locked and placed in the subfolder for reference purposes.
  17. Dave-H
    Thanks Den, that looks pretty much as I hoped it would. I would have thought that the roytam1 browsers' thread and the Extreme Explorer thread could have been left in the main section though, and perhaps unpinned as they are very active. Just a thought. Incidentally, I was thinking about asking roytam1 to perhaps make a third browser thread soon as the existing one is getting very near the 200 page mark again, which is the point at which the second thread was started.

    I've always thought (assumed) that if Malwarebytes 3.5.1 were compromised in any way that would make it ineffective in protecting an XP system, its paying users would be informed. As it is as long as its pattern files are being kept up to date that's good enough for me. I was sorry that I could never get Avast (or AVG) to work properly on my system, I never found out why. Malwarebytes was the fallback, and I've never had any cause to regret that.

    Welcome to the board!
  20. Dave-H
    I've been using that for several years now too, it works very well, and they say it will continue to receive pattern updates for the foreseeable future. It isn't free though. The free version of MB still works on XP too AFAIK, but has no real-time scanning.
  21. Dave-H
    I suppose at least some of the pinned threads, especially the locked ones, could be put into a "reference topics" subfolder? That would always be at the top of the board with the other two subfolders. Would that make them too much less obvious to people looking for help though?
  22. Dave-H
    Great job, thank you!
  23. Dave-H
    I do agree with you @ArcticFoxie to some extent, but I have always considered pinned threads, on any forum, to be reference material. They are there for forum users, especially new ones, to easily find information about commonly encountered problems. Of course what is an important problem, worthy of being given such permanent prominence, is very much a matter of opinion! I would like to hear the opinions of my fellow moderators on this. @dencorso@Tripredacus@Tommy
  24. Dave-H
    Funny you should do this now, as I've been thinking about consulting my fellow moderators about this very issue for a while now! There do seem to be rather a lot of pinned threads on some of the forums here, and it does need to be discussed as to whether they all still need to be pinned. Do bear in mind that they were all pinned originally for a good reason, at least in the opinion of a moderator, so they shouldn't be unpinned unless they really are now considered to be obsolete.
  25. Dave-H
    It sounds like it might be at least a starting point for @Tengereckito get the look he wants back then. Thinking about it more, I now remember that I did some of the customisation using Classic/Open Shell. My inactive windows' title bars are grey, not white, as in my screen grab. That might well have been a Open Shell thing, as was the colour of the taskbar. Active windows' title bars are blue.
