Good luck. if it's a core 2 duo (2007) it should run with no issues but do not expect the same performance as a core 2 quad for a 2024 browser build https://msfn.org/board/topic/184363-release-vistart-v815258-start-menu-replacement-for-xp-10/page/2/#comment-1239213 --single-process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED_Sln Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 16 hours ago, Destro said: We can't blame the CPU. The processor is exactly what affects this. I have tested Supermium on many different computers, from a very low-end Atom to an i7, but the problems with freezing or inability to start have only occurred on a single-core processor. On one system it doesn't start at all, on another it starts, but every action causes the CPU to load at 100% for a long time. The developer is aware of this problem, maybe in future updates it will be solved. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For people on WinXP SP3 "trialing" the latest Sm-121-hf x86 release, win32 is kindly providing recompiled+rebased versions of files: that will reduce excessive RAM usage by the browser on pre-Vista OSes: https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/204#issuecomment-1924048080 https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/204#issuecomment-1924437338 https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/204#issuecomment-1924647139 Thanks. This helped, but I still experienced an issue when the browser hanged without an error when I was browsing Aliexpress. Hmm... I think it's time to move to Windows 7 for this PC.

Dave-H Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Just to quickly report that I've now had a go with Supermium on Windows XP 32 bit, and it seems to work very well! Early days of course, but it looks very hopeful. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmiranda Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 (edited) Besides using those rebased dlls, it may also help rebasing chrome.dll libEGL.dll libGLESv2.dll vk_swiftshader.dll vulkan-1.dll. The specifications provided by @UCyborg (point 3) work in my multicore system Have a backup of the dlls to be rebased ready, just in case. 1-Search and download rebase.exe 6.0.6001.17129. Place it somewhere of your liking. Copy full path 2-Open a prompt box on your-path-to-Supernium\121.0.6167.81 3-In prompt, enter your-path-to-rebase.exe -b 10040000 chrome.dll libEGL.dll libGLESv2.dll vk_swiftshader.dll vulkan-1.dll Edited February 16 by dmiranda 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPerceniol Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 (edited) Good to know - I'll keep an open mind then for the next release. Thank you @Dave-H and @dmiranda. Edited February 16 by XPerceniol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy latest Chromium in your XP PC, and I hope it's running smooth, and that you are not facing any crashes at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulkan isn't supported on XP, you can simply deleted those. I had explained it in the past many times, afraid to do so? Make a backup before. https://www.vulkan.org/ And even if in some parallel universe it would, no drivers for XP exist. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Draker Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Since this topic isn't limited to "supermium on XP only", and we have Vista users here, if someone wants to experiment with Vulkan, which isn't supported on XP, but works with Vista x64, you can leave those files alone, install a driver from my tutorial and try. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotHereToPlayGames Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Not entirely true. Somebody here should ask win32ss direclty on just what "vulkan" is and is not when it comes to not only XP x86 but also to XP x64 which is not the same beast driver-wise. MANY x64 users have witnessed this for themselves. I think win32ss would know more about this than folks that simply delete files willy-nilly and check a checkbox, "yep, it 'works' without this file". Deleting a file in x86 does not carry over to deleting a file in x64. Speaking solely for XP. I think UCyborg has also researched the matter in the past, do not recall offhand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you accuse a member who is knowledgeable in video drivers, esp. in Nvidia drivers (that supply Vulkan with them), everyone would like to see proof. Articles with tests (where it's clearly shown) whether it works like you claim. Thanks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again I'm not "a folk that simply delete files willy-nilly and check a checkbox", be respectful and reasonable on the forum. Check in chrome / GPU.

NotHereToPlayGames Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 x64 users have lock-up issues if they delete the "vulkan" files - FACT The file may be NAMED "vulkan", that doesn't imply that is its SOLE purpose for existence. I will not engage in this FIGHT. I *will* monitor the official GitHub (I am not a member, but I do read the official) for discussions on what "vulkan" is and is not for XP x64 versus XP x86.

Win32 doesn't respond here anymore, and you know it. We were trying to raise our voices of wisdom and cool down the local crap posters. But we were labelled as the evil "collective you" by some grandpa. Good deeds don't go unpunished. So either you make a github account and try to ask, or do your own research (as you already stated you don't trust me). In case someone missed why no win32 anymore.link 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
