I need help running New Moon 28.10 by RoyTam1 on Windows 98 SE. Tried using the guide (Firefox 24 / 52 on Windows 98) but got stuck on one part: First of all, where is the platform version located on both files? (hexadecimal string) Second of all, I need a HEX editor that works on Windows XP (and thus means maybe can run on kernelex with updates) or 98. Either way, I'd love to see it (and browsers like Roytam1's Arctic Fox, or a Chromium based browser) run on a fully patched Windows 98 SE copy ..read more

Another goal of mine is to fork Arctic-Fox, and make it Visual C++ 2005/2008, and Windows 2000 compatible. Presently, Arctic-Fox requires Visual C++ 2013, and Windows XP SP2. There exists a Pale Moon 27.x fork by @roytam1 that includes Arctic-Fox commits, that is in the process of becoming Visual C++ 2010/2012 compatible by roytam1 and I ..read more

I've had XP running fine for years on an Asus B360M mobo with both Intel USB and VIA USB on an external card. Suddenly it won't even get to the logon screen. It shows the XP welcome screen fine then just goes blank before the logon screen. I have an Nvidia GT1030 card but I could run fine in an SVGA mode which was OK with me. I did not notice till recently that the driver is called Microsoft Basic Display Driver. Seems to me this is either a display driver issue or a User file issues. How would one go about creating new user file offline? In my XP Device Manager the sisplay driver is not liste ..read more

I open this specific thread after having commented on it in this other one https://msfn.org/board/topic/186134-ntldr-is-missing-when-updating-the-bios/#comment-1264144 because the matter does not seem easy to resolve. Unlike Windows 2000, Windows XP does not have options to change the HAL in Device Manager. So to make a HAL change it is necessary to change the 2 kernel files (normal and PAE) and the HAL.dll library to the correct version. A while ago I mentioned how to do it https://msfn.org/board/topic/177962-activate-all-processor-cores-at-startup/?do=findComment&comment=1156790 and it w ..read more
