      @Dietmar The SHA-1 should be: 372bf624075023188214e5a931a2543217e70dcc
      I did not add any Hash because the Zip-Archive file will do an error if it is corrupted.

    Tried installing this from CD but getting error 0x0000007B during windows setup. I thought this build had pre-loaded AHCI drivers?

      Ramsey · 2 years ago
      @Majix This dose not mean it has compatible drivers for every every single SATA controller. That's why you have the option to add you own SATA driver or add one of the backported Windows 7 SATA driver.

    HAY People! =) I don't see any E-Mail contact information for the developers of 'MyPal' web browser so maybe you guys could forward this to them? Hi I'm happy to pay them to do this stuff if needed. They can reach me at 'balkanguy (at) live (dot) com' =)

    This runs fast with Youtube, despite all the deliberate sabotage with tons of 'broken java hell'. Google did this to try & force everybody to use their 'rendering engine', & it worked ~>
    https://github.com/Feodor2/Mypal68/

    I don't really mind that so much, so long as there is something that will work, & is customizeable =) Note the several 'contribotors' also, & older (worse) version (slow with Youtube) examples ~>
    https://github.com/Feodor2/mypal
    https://www.mypal-browser.org/

    Summary:
    It would be awesome if you did these things for MyPal browser =)
    ~ Create a 'portableapps.com' type version (so can easily move to USB sticks & different PCs =)
    ~ Disable (by default) any sort of 'auto-update checking' & 'automattic update' features (very annoying & could 'break things' otherwise)

    Some details how to do it? ~>
    https://portableapps.com/node/61118
    https://portableapps.com/node/14868
    https://portableapps.com/development
    https://downloads.sourceforge.net/portableapps/PortableApps.com_Application_Template_3.5.2.zip
    https://helpdeskgeek.com/how-to/create-a-portable-version-of-any-application-in-windows/

    BTW: I checked out https://invidious.io/ & though that's a great idea & certainly very useful for lots of people trying to minimize the anti-user broken java bloat hell of sites like Youtube, the 'Windows 7 versions of Firefox' after installing some ad-blocker add ons is even faster & eliminates ads & other 'custom layout options' easily =) If you like I can send you a specific list?

    Details:
    It would be great if you made a 'portableapps.com' version of Mypal (version 68.13.0b & beyond) as 'portableapps.com' versions so we can easily move them to USB sticks & other PCs without the need for re-installing anything (including the 'add-ons').

    I've tried many other XP-compatible browsers but none from that site or anywhere else quickly render 'java hell sabotage' pages like from Youtube & Craigslist fast & correct, & also 'Firefox' (on which yours is based?) is the only portable version I've found that really is 'portable' because it will save all the add-ons & stuff properly instead of requiring they be re-installed 'from the cloud' when launching on a different machine, etc.

    Another thing that would help a lot is to disable by default all of the auto-checking & auto-updating features, so does not block any sort of add-on installation (other than maybe a popup 'this is not compatible but do you want to install anyway?' warning, and no problems where it can sabotage things by auto-changing things by 'calling home' & so on. Everything should happen only at the express intent of the user.

    Is there any update to XP root certificates or something that sounds like that ?
    ESET Nod32 Antivirus suddenly stopped updating and Google chrome reports :

    This site can’t provide a secure connection

    <site>.<site>.gr uses an unsupported protocol.
    ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH

    I know that google chrome is supposed not to work , but it worked for me until yesterday for some similar sites ! Any possible solution would be grateful !

    Thanks and keep up the good work !!!

    Two QoL changes that might be pretty coo that I hope you'll add:
    *Replace the stock Bliss wallpaper with the high quality 600 DPI version
    *Restore the post-SP2 Windows XP startup screen to the smarter looking pre-SP2 appearance
    (includes Professional tag and Copyright 1985-2001) .
    I always had a beef with MS after SP2 because (to me) it makes the startup screen look unfinished and beta.

      @Ram A Jam A 4K version was already added to the Windows 10/11. And will be also added to the next WinXP-IE release.

      @Ram A Jam I'm seeding several versions of XP integral for those who want to download. The idea of seeding a 15 MB picture of a hill, that anyone can easily download on their own, to hundreds of people, with no practical use except wasting disk space, doesn't sit well with me.

      I would prefer it if all the eye candy was stuffed in an attached link document and the distribution focused on brain candy that's useful in easily getting the system running without wasting RAM, CPU or Disk.

      Things that would B really useful 4 XP include ~>

      ~ Add 'desktop sync' capability (with 'retro classic theme) 2 avoid video tearing in web browser video playback.  In Windows 7 enabling 'aero' works, but not if running 'classic' (retro = way more useful / quick & E Z 2 use) themes = lame =P

      ~ Add 'APO' (Audio Processor Object) support so can easily add 'plugins' to sound mixer like equalizers & other effects =)

      ~ Disable the fake 'BSOD' (Blue Screen Of Death) when moving boot drive to different PC = should instead try to find the necessary drivers & 'just work' same as Windows '98 & similar did, instead of pretending they R trying 2 'protect your system' by refusing 2 work LOL

      Note: If N E 1 can fix these things I mention, I can pay them if necessary =)  Can reach me at 'balkanguy (at) live (dot) com' =D  For example, if somebody could also add a 'spoof' type ability in the OS so it can store the different 'DLLS' & 'kernel files' or whatever so can 'trick' software that 'demands' later operating systems like Windows 7 or later into running on XP, that would B awesome, OR 2 modify Windows 7 so has these features ~>

      ~ Enable 'desktop sync' (to avoid tearing in web browser videos) with classic (retro useful) windows themes.  Having 2 enable 'aero' & the 'bundled' jelly bean bull$hit interface just makes things worse.

      ~ Disable (by default) auto-sorting of folder contents when dropping or expanding items, etc., so 'newly moved/created' things appear at the bottom of the 'list' of contents.  Auto-sorting is a $cam 2 wreck usability of the system, mingling (for example) zip contents into tons of other things so (with random dates & so on) impossible 2 track down what was 'expanded' 2 erase it & 'backtrack' = SO lame.

      ~ Enable booting from FAT32 partitions =)  This is very important because NTFS takes literally more than 10X longer to repair errors, & is also much less reliable, etc.  NTFS is basically junk = a sabotage scam.  BTW: GR8 2 include freeware utility 'FAT32Format' with your releases 2, as I use with many large drives, & (for example) can set cluster sizes small in (for example) 500 gig partition, then larger in 1.5TB partions, & so on, optimizing 'speed vs. slack efficiency' type stuff.

      Note: Again, happy 2 pay people money 2 fix these things if interested.  Can reach me at 'balkanguy (at) live (dot) com' =)  Everything after Windows 7 is absolutely unusable krap, so zero interest in Windows HATE (8), 10, 11, etc. = Y wreck people's machines with such trash?  BIZARRE! LOL  iMean, iKnow Y Micro$cam does it of course = 2 try & make things even MORE 'eternally buggy' & 'trapped into update cycles' & so on, but I'm not into torturing people I manage machines for =))  For myself, I always use XP, pretty much, but lots of other people need 7 for programs that are sabotaged to not run on XP (yet).  We could fix this?  #XPForever? =D  Note, it is not even 'unsupported' or 'unsecure'.  XP runs most of the ATM machines, etc.  Take note at banks & retail & factories & wherever what they R using, like even random 'custom coal mining equipment' = they can't have things 'forced updating' when they're trying 2 synchronize $hit 2 hold up a bazillion tons of rock, smashing everything LOL

      BTW: Relating 2 my other note on 'things GR8 2 add 2 Win 7', including disabling (by default) the fake 'BSOD' (Blue Screen Of Death) krap when moving the boot drive 2 different machines wold B GR8, so instead searches 4 the right drivers & stuff 2 'just work' same way Windows 98 & so on used 2.  They R not 'protecting' something, just SABOTAGING things 2 try & lock the OS 2 1 machine.  Now they even have that 'CPU sniffer' type krap in Windows HATE (8) on forward?  So tries 2 lock the OS 2 the specific physical CPU? LOL!!  I heard some computers now even destroy the CPU in a way so only works with 1 physical motherboard (trying 2 force more new sales by destroying everything =))

      BTW: Quite strange there is no 'Windows 7 Integral' or similar on this webs site.  Everything after Windows 7 is totally unusable garbage, for anybody trying 2 do actual work (not just dik around).  Even something as simple as creating & arranging custom shortcuts, they turn it into a horror show = LOL!!  I like the versions on archive.org from 'Zyzoom' (so far).  Maybe check those out & 'enhance' them? =)  If U want some direct links, let me know at 'balkanguy (at) live (dot) com' =)

      @Ramsey Double BTW: I'm happy 2 pay U 2 fix these things =D  Can reach me at 'balkanguy (at) live (dot) com'.  We here use computers 4 real work, so need real operating systems, not Windows HATE (8), 10, 11, or any other 'random number of the poop pile' OS.  7 was the last usable Windows OS.  XP is better 'performing' but not quite as 'flexible' (yet).  We can fix this? =D  C my notes, or can reach me at 'balkanguy (at) live (dot) com' =)

      I don't get a blue screen when I migrate XP Integral Edition between PC's.

      So I'm guessing you have a driver issue of some sort preventing XP from booting in your case.

    Heya Ramsey, did you see that Feodor launched a new version of MyPal?: https://github.com/Feodor2/Mypal68/tree/68.13b

    Here ist the last version 360EE_mod_2023.zip of the Chrome browser. It is ultrafast and can use multi cpu. I do not have an english version of this. But in HTML 5 test it is the best browser for XP now.
    So, I would choose the Feodor Quantum browser as standard. And you can add this at the menu, where you choose 7zip, etc.

      @Dietmar Sadly this 360EE version doesn't support this command below to have separate User Profiles:

      ".\360Loader.exe" --single-process --user-data-dir="%UserProfile%\Local Settings\Application Data\360EE Chrome"

      @Dietmar Hi Dietmar
      The 360EE you recommended, as well as other 360EE version 13, give me this error on startup : Screenshoot
      I have Ramsey's XP 32Bit
      Have you ever had this error? Would you have any idea about it?
      Only versions up to 9.5 do not give this error.
      Thanks for any response you may have.😥

      Hi,
      I just test this new Chrome Browser 360EE_mod_2023 on Ramsey XP.
      For me it works.

      There are 2 *.exe files in its folder:

      360Loader.exe
      360chrome.exe

      For me, both work.
      May be, that there is a problem with multi cpu running on your compi.
      I do not know, how to disable multi cpu for this Browser.
      The modd for big memory in ntoskrnl.exe can also be the reason

      Another crazy idea:
      Maybe, that this Browser is canceled for to work in your country

      Also which version of the Ramsey XP you use?
      There can be also a problem with the root certificates.
      On a russian Website I see exact the same error as yours for this Chrome browser, working with version 12 but shows this error from any version of Chrome above.
      They mentioned, that maybe a program package from Ramsey is incompatible with this browser. But they found no solution.
      So make a new install of Ramsey XP with no extra program from the selector.

      @Martino Contento
      Hi, I just read,
      that you have to run the certificates for this Chrome Browser:
      360EE_mod_2023/Update Root Certificates v1.6
      They are in the folder of the browser

      @Dietmar Thanks for the informations
      I tell you more:
      The first time I installed 360EE 13, it was in 2020, and it worked without the error for 6 months. Then all of a sudden the error message popped up. All new installations on pc formatted with all versions produced by Ramsey since 2020, have given negative results. All versions from 11 to 13.5 (both EN and CN) give error, even on original XP and in Italian.
      While 7.5 and 9.5 versions are OK.
      I take it, as you said, that this Browser is canceled for to work in my country. HI

      360 'Chinese Hacked Google Chrome #FailTrain' browser is totally unstable 2 the point of literally locking up the PC (sometimes), & many parts broken or unfinished = absolute garbage compared 2 the 'single threatded' MyPal =) ~>
      Now just need 2 make that portable, so can save all the settings to a USB or whatever other folder as a single unit 2 move 2 other machines, & also 2 disable auto-checking 4 updates & so on.  Adding ad blockers & things is good but should B a user decision as they often 'go bad' or don't work in all situations.  I use a combination of many plugins & 'Chrome-Based Firefox' variants (like Mypal is now) R the only browser that loads things like Youtube fast & correctly arranged & also able 2 save user installed plugins, rather than 'cloud-based' bull$hit like 'official' chrome that loses all your work when U copy it 2 another PC! =;-o  If y'all want more GR8 ideas can reach me at 'balkanguy (at) live (dot) com' =)

    Anyone knows if there's a backported compile of the TOR proxy client "Expert bundle" out there?

    One guy did nice backports of Tor Browser as can be seen here: https://skipster1337.github.io/posts/windows-software.html

    But I was hoping for a backport of this one now at version 0.4.7.13 for experimenting with onion services - https://www.torproject.org/download/tor/
