  1. As far as I am aware, you cannot run a 64bit VM on a 32bit host unless you have a 64bit CPU. So you actually have it installed, it just doesn't work as expected? Take a look at this and see if it helps any: https://superuser.com/questions/507943/virtualbox-3584mb-memory-limit
  2. Stability can be equated to uptime longevity in computing, and for this I would say Windows 10 is very low on this list... only because it likes to reboot itself without asking you. In my experience, Windows 10 is less stable than say, Windows XP, 7 or even 98FE.
  3. There are multiple ways that a link can be opened. Running a URL through Explorer will cause Explorer to open the default browser to render the link. For this specific instance only, you are looking for creating a wrapper for this circumstance. This will require you to change your default browser in the registry to the wrapper. That is the proper way to handle this type of thing, rather than having some active process running on the system monitoring for this specific event... and it may indeed make things more complicated as a result. Another method of launching a URL is to use a program option, such as specifically calling iexplore (or whatever) to launch the link. In this case, a wrapper as the Default Browser will not help, and then what you would need is a browser extension... Although another way to handle this is to set a specific browser as your default, then lock that down so that it doesn't go anywhere. You could set IE to be your default browser and then use whitelist policy on the Internet Zone, or perhaps even enable that safe-browseing thing that is default on Server OSes.
  4. I have done it once. It was either Windows 95 OSR2 or Windows 98. The disks were from Gateway and I am thinking there were either 33 of them or that the 33rd disk was bad. It was a failure of an install, as one of the disks was unreadable, and this after installing for about an hour and a half.
  5. Moved topic. Put text from readme into first post, removed readme attachment. If anyone gets bored they can play around with drivers, but there should be no expectation that anyone should actually do so.
  6. Not to derail, but let's break down the two sides of such a project. One is the client that dials into the server. The other side is what the server connects to that the client will be able to access after establishing a connection. Client-server side What is required to create a segregated dial-up system? The client needs to dial a number, the server needs to answer that number. What exists between the client and the server to route this request? Can this be handled on the server itself or does it require a separate piece of hardware? Do you need to have a PBX in there someplace? Then there is the other consideration. Your in-house "PSTN" needs to have power running on the line and also to provide a dial-tone when the line is picked up by the client. What is needed to provide this? Server-Server side The dial-up server is acting as a gateway to some other content. What do you want your client to be able to access? Do you want to access the public internet, or perhaps you run this totally isolated and have it connect to an intranet. This portion seems like it would be a lot easier to set up than the part in-between the client and the server. Note: this is going upon the understanding that you would not be using an existing POTS hookup from the street.
  7. The Browserleaks website doesn't do anything if javascript is disabled and also it appears the MarioNet thing uses javascript also. Regarding Chrome, it may not say this specifically but there is a setting in the advance options "Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed" which may be related to whether or not it will allow the Service Workers thing to run properly.
  8. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/debugger/bug-check-0x7e--system-thread-exception-not-handled
  9. Is additional hardware required or can it just be done with two computers and some phone cord? I have always thought about creating a RADIUS server at some point just for fun.
  10. That sounds familiar. I had this issue quite a bit once Firefox updated to this version (61.0.1) AND I was in an inefficient video memory situation. After remedying that situation, the black sections seen on scroll had gone away, since I am still using that version now.
  11. The only Firefox that I have in active use is on one of my workstations, which is using Windows 7 32bit. It is Firefox "Quantum" 61.0.1. My add-ons are: DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials Nimbus Screen Capture NoScript uBlock Origin Web Developer I do have Firefox on various other Windows 7 PCs, but they are typically old versions and either I am not using the internet on those PCs or I have not opened/updated Firefox. As always, I have auto-update for the Mozilla browsers disabled.
  12. I will note that a search for Longhorn in Nuhi's section has no results. So no one has even talked about this before. Nothing is impossible, but I would not expect that a developer would consider taking up such a project, unless they were wanting to learn how to make those types of programs. That may be your only option, to learn how it works and write that type of program yourself.
  13. Welcome to the MSFN!
  14. The original title was "wpa2 for windows 9x" but I am not able to determine what was in the first post.
  15. If you have the memory dump, you can upload it and someone can take a look at it. Otherwise, in this type of situation I would normally want to run the annoying step-by-step bootup option that is in the F8 menu... but I don't remember if it is an option in XP. Take a look. This is the mode that you can use to see what is next after mup.sys, or even further along afterwards, since you will need to press Y to load it.
  16. It seems like BootVis is capable of this, but I have not used it before. https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/bootvis.html
  17. Does your mouse itself have any software to install? I remember that some mice may not have wheel or extra button functions working without it, such as the old Intellimouse Explorer, it needed Intellipoint installed on XP or older OS.
  18. Also don't forget to put your hard drive in the freezer for 20 minutes.
  19. Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Mostly multiplayer.
  20. I always preferred OS 9 and older vs OS X and newer.
  21. They would know how many XP systems are in operational condition due to Windows Update polling, since the client reports a limited software inventory such as version of Windows, Office, etc. And you can be certain that they record and use that data. They just wouldn't know about the XP systems that never hit Windows Update or the internet.
  22. Electronics rarely suddenly fail. If they do, it is usually due to static discharge or some other foreign event such as lightning or Pepsi. Components work because they operate within an allowable tolerance. Over time, the actual tolerance (or range of possible electronic signal) for a particular component may extend beyond the acceptable range, which then creates undesired effects. Timing being wrong, voltage being wrong, etc. What happens suddenly is that you notice that something is bad and in all likelyhood a part of collection of parts within the circuit have been bad or going bad for years, if not straight from the factory. Most people end up ignoring warning signs, even if they know what they are, so it seems weird that a failure could come to some great surprise. And besides, it wasn't very sudden, by your account you've been having a problem for 8 months now. I would test the RAM in another known working board. I would also replace the existing board, and then use it for testing purposes only.
  23. It is a matter of traffic drivers. When a project gets too big to be contained into a single thread or section and many people come to here to post about it, then we can consider creating a section for a project.
  24. So far there hasn't been the type of activity that we'd normally see for a project that ended up with their own section.
