AMD Radeon Graphics driver+Driver pack for Windows Vista
sera replied to Jakob99's topic in Windows Vista
Hi, The OpenGL issue with the 17.10.1 driver can be solved by using an older version of the atioglxx.dll file located in C:/Windows/SysWOW64. I'm not particularly sure why this issue happens, the most I know is that it's simply just in that file and it crashes in DrvPresentBuffers. I replaced the DLL file with the atioglxx.dll found in the 13-12_winvista_64_dd_ccc_whql driver and it seems to work perfectly, although I'm sure there's a newer version that works. Attached is an image of a benchmark software that came up online for an application that tests OpenGL 4, running on an RX 570 on Windows Vista. -
I think maybe the emoticons look different on your grab to my grab because it says it's a 'Top 100', which presumably is constantly changing? Good to know that they are aware of the file selection problem.
-
Hmm, interesting, the emoticons are different from the ones I have, although the font is the same. But the important thing is that they are displayed. Then maybe that site needs "font awesome", there are several versions of them and each has a set of several fonts. The developer is aware of this problem and is addressing it.

There are versions ported from Win8 (storahci.sys v6.2.9200.16384 and storahci.sys v6.2.9200.20652) but I actually don't remember testing them with the GPT Loader. I will give them a try.
-
I do wonder if STORAHCI.SYS for XP can work or not, if such thing exists.

If you go back a page or two Tihiy stated that he's reached an agreement with Microsoft to disable the classic taskbar by default on new 24H2 installs. I read that as when a new user on 24H2 installs StartAllBack they will have to manually enable the enhanced classic taskbar. Based on the feature flag to disable it and the fact that Microsoft is flagging apps that use it it seems that they want to discourage use because they may not be able to remove it entirely for compatibility reasons with legacy software. That's my theory, if they could remove it it would have been gone already when they removed the old systray. They've resorted to crippling it instead. Hopefully the media attention and backlash will result in them turning a blind eye, use at your own risk. That's what we have to hope for. Edit: I also want to advise building a plan B, evaluate your workflow and see where you can build a new workflow with other tools around the new taskbar worst case scenario. I know I've already figured out how I will manage with the new taskbar if forced to use it.

Thanks for the confirmation. Unfortunately, even with drivers that do not depend on scsiport.sys you cannot get recognition of GPT disks even if you have the GPT Loader installed in a system configured in AHCI mode. The only sata/ahci driver that allows recognition of GPT disks on intel systems even without GPT Loader is the asmedia asahci32.sys. But it, too, is based on scsiport.sys which is thus the reason for the problem of corrupted files I encountered on disks with sector size of 512 bytes when the limit of 2,199,023,255,552 bytes was exceeded.
-
yeah thats the case I encountered. with IDE/ATAPI driver, it works.
-
When you write that any driver that uses SCSIPORT.SYS does not work well are you referring to some limitation that the latter has? Maybe the one of 2,199,023,255,552 bytes with disks that have a sector size of 512 bytes?
-
On another subject, I've noticed when trying to add a file to a post here using Supermium, I get this - No option to actually select a file, the 'Dump Folder' folder shown definitely has files in it! Thankfully, dragging and dropping does work.

How to disable the built-in XMS driver in Windows ME's IO.SYS
roytam1 replied to PDU's topic in Windows 9x/ME
actually a compressed DOS7.1/Win98SE IO.SYS works better than using ME's, trying to save 4KB XMGR.SYS ended up have to replace XMS driver with (V)EMM driver with 10x size is no fun. have to replace stock COMMAND.COM with SvarCOM and re-stub 7zdecwat-9.12 for smaller size. (disk image is updated with working one) -

How to disable the built-in XMS driver in Windows ME's IO.SYS
PDU replied to PDU's topic in Windows 9x/ME
I think what you are trying to do is to load Win3.1CHT using a DOS that can boot within a very limited disk space. Have you tried to use FreeDOS? According to my test, It is capabble of loading WFWG now. See my github record: https://github.com/pufengdu/RetroFuns/blob/main/WFWG/FDWFWG.md It is still not in a perfect status, but can be expected to be better. EDIT: Very interesting to see that RM386 does not work. I remebered that M$ bought RM386 from Helix and its OPTIMIZE program. The memmaker is essentially the same as the OPTIMIZE and EMM386 suppose to be very similar to RM386. QEMM386 / 386MAX do not work as expected. I remembered that I have tried these. -
It's possible, but it can be verified. Open the website: https://emojikeyboard.top/ If the Noto font is not installed or does not work, you will see this: But if it is working, it will be like this: If Noto works, then maybe your site needs a different font, or there is some other problem.
-
Unfortunately I can't give you the address of that site as it's a private Health Service address which needs a login. If I spot the same issue anywhere that's generally available, I will certainly let you know. Presumably I'm not just getting squares for the same reason that the NoToEmoji font is displaying squares?
-
And I completely agree in that it is (and has to be) XP OS issues - which brings us to supermium. I have to say that that guy @win32has delivered. I will make time to install an OS I've never used, to see his work directly on target (I would also call it fair game -and good practice- to point out that to have an open source community working with you, in your software, side by side with a shinier and prettier plus plus built around the thing we probably don't (or sadly can't) use -those would be acceptable terms, I guess). Be well.

LOL! Interesting to hear that Thorium was actually around before Superium. My judgement was made purely on appearances, where the menus of Thorium and Superium appear to be identical, apart from where they reference the name of the browser. I did say earlier on in the Superium thread that there might well be differences under the bonnet though. The one thing that would possibly make me try Thorium again would be if its memory usage is better controlled than Superium.

I already created a page on Codeberg but not on GitHub, although I have an account there, too. From this Codeberg page, all users of my mod uBlock Origin Legacy get the updated assets.json file automatically and only in the previous version additionally an important filter list but nothing else. TBH, I am an individualist and generally do things the way I want to do them. Sorry for that!

Thorium
NotHereToPlayGames replied to mockingbird's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
I would add that Thorium has existed longer than Supermium. I have not used it but I cannot claim to have really used Supermium either - I launch Supermium to TRY to use it, it pegs the CPU at 100%, tends to make its way out of the 100%, only to resume 100% a minute or two later, I throw the computer out the living room window, I visit a local retailer to replace the computer, then a local window shop to replace the living room window. -
Thanks for the updated version, you should create a page on github for your version of ublock. Just saying.

Cool. Would you mind sharing that script either here or in the monkey scripts thread?

Thorium isn't re-badged Supermium. The Thorium-Legacy XP build uses progwrp.dll from Supermium -- that doesn't make it a re-badge. I use Thorium on ALL my computers... The flexibility is excellent because they have specialized Windows 7 builds for particular instruction sets... My Ivy bridge gets Thorium-AVX. My Haswell gets Thorium-AVX2, etc... This said, I left Thorium open all night on my XP machine - it is perfectly stable so far, with no memory leaks -- something Supermium could not do.

Write the website address (apologies if it's already been written, but I missed it), I'll check with myself how it's displayed. I have the font displaying the letters. But I have all language options enabled, hieroglyphics, Arabic, and all possible "code page conversion tables" enabled.
