No joy there either I'm afraid, error 0x80244004 which is basically, "can't connect to the server". Looks like it's all permanently gone. I guess it's off to the catalogue for the last few Office 2010 updates. At least I have the 64 bit version installed on Windows 10, so that should tell me what updates have been issued.

It does take a very long time to find updates at the moment, you have to be very patient! I've never known it not to get there in the end though. Leave it scanning overnight.

Sorry yes, it would have helped if I'd actually bothered to look at the documentation which came with the program! It does clearly say it's intended for FAT32 partitions only.

The late great Rudolph Loew produced a "TRIM" program which works in DOS! I use it to TRIM two SSD partitions I have which are FAT32 formatted, which Windows doesn't want to know about. I assume it would work on NTFS partitions, but I'm not certain of that.

Well I just bought only a week ago a new 500GB Sandisk Ultra 3D SSD (SDSSDH3_500G_401120RL), and it recognises that fine.

FWIW Sandisk SSD Toolkit v1 works fine on XP, if you have Sandisk SSDs. Not sure whether it will recognise other brands, all my SSDs are Sandisk.

Thanks, that does seem to have fixed the poor rendering of the Trend download page! How do you actually import that code though? I'm sure I must have done it before, but I couldn't get it to work this time. I had to resort to directly editing the code in the project settings file. I tried importing it in the Project Options>HTTP Tab>Streaming Responses section, but when I tried to "Load" the JSON file nothing happened.

Ah thanks, I did wonder! Are there any other visual differences? they look pretty identical to me in every other respect.

YouTube still works fine for me on Firefox 52.9 ESR on XP, the only thing different when I look at it on Firefox 79 on Windows 10 is that you get a short preview of videos when you hover the cursor on them in the lists. This does no happen in 52.9. How do I know whether I'm seeing Polymer v1 or v2?

What about updates to Office 2010, which are still being served by Microsoft Update on Windows XP? That is still supported with security updates until October, supposedly.

Thank you again!

I've now belatedly realised that the Burp settings in the registry are under HKCU\Software\JavaSoft\Prefs\burp, not HKLM\Software\JavaSoft\Prefs\burp, which is where I was looking! D'oh! Sorry for the confusion! The settings seem to be all in that key as they should be. Why the registry is getting corrupted is strange though, perhaps Burp just doesn't like the Windows 98 registry structure.

Assuming this isn't just spam, I don't see how it's relevant to the subject of this thread as it's a Android phone app!

Is that a whole operating system? Actually the netbook itself is 64 bit, I'm just running 32 bit operating systems on it.

I did think about perhaps buying the full version of Burp, until I saw the price!

Understood, I thought that would be the case. I've left the driver installed but with the device disabled. Thanks again for all your help! I can manage OK with the basic Microsoft driver, in fact I've found it works quite a bit better if you switch off all the graphics acceleration functions. The display refreshing when you drag windows about is noticeably better. My main worry was that I would be limited to VGA level resolution, but that isn't the case, and it will do the native resolution of the netbook display, which is good. As an off-topic aside, I finally bit the bullet and "upgraded" the Windows 8.1 installation on the netbook to Windows 10! I got so fed up with various annoying issues on Windows 8.1, mainly things like the Offline Files system not working properly, that I decided to see if Windows 10 was better, and I did it for free so no problems there (I wonder how many people know that you can actually still do that?) The machine seems to be performing much better with Windows 10! Cheers, Dave.

I guess that's because the Azul installer installs its Java as a standalone installation, it doesn't install it to the system. As dencorso says, the usual rather tedious registry editing exercise will still have to be done as it was with the newer Oracle files. The few things I still use which are Java based generally have their own JREs included with them anyway, albeit rather old ones, so I guess I probably won't bother now going beyond 251 on the XP system.

Well Adobe has said IIRC that Flash will not only be unsupported after the end of the year, but will no longer even work, and I guess they meant it! I guess versions before 32.0.0.371 will still work though, I don't see how Adobe could retrospectively block them.

@jaclaz So, is that it, are we now done?

I have never seen the Burp subkey. Perhaps I should manually add it.

Yes, it works for me too, in that I can now download the pattern files! However, the download is crawlingly slow. It used to take about 10 seconds to download a pattern file when the site was working in Opera 12.02 unmodified, now with Burp it takes about 12 minutes, at dial-up speed! I guess this is because of using the proxy, but it does make it a bit impractical. and as I have a multi-boot machine, it would still be better to download the files in XP! More worrying is that I'm now getting errors when I start Windows 98 saying that it "encountered an error accessing the registry" and it has to restore a backup. This is now happening on every boot to Windows 98 if I've run Burp. I see this in the Burp console, which must be related - Jul 26, 2020 10:37:11 PM java.util.prefs.WindowsPreferences WindowsRegOpenKey1 WARNING: Trying to recreate Windows registry node Software\JavaSoft\Prefs\burp at root 0x80000001. There is no "burp" entry under HKLM\Software\JavaSoft\Prefs.

Has anyone tried the Azul MSI installer on XP?

OK, I finally managed to get the PortSwigger certificate installed into Opera 12.02 correctly! The secret was to put the .der extension onto the DER format exported file, and to drag and drop it into Opera's certificate window. Thanks everyone! I have now deleted all those manual certificate approvals I did, and I'm not seeing them any more. The TLS 1.3 test now shows as correct! However, the Trend Micro site now looks worse than it did before, its text is all bunched up, and no images are showing. No certificate errors, but if I try to download the pattern file, nothing happens except a permanent waiting indication. I'm getting strings of "Failed to allocate memory - behavior may be unstable" messages in the Burp console.

Good point, I'll give that a try! Tomorrow!

I don't think it was ever actually released. AFAIK the last release of Presto Opera was 12.18. 12.50 seems to have never got past the beta stage, and was presumably abandoned when they went the Chromium route instead. I'm pretty sure it won't run on 98SE, and frankly I'm surprised that it will run on ME!
