the forum that i moderate, all you do is click the username and then click "goodbye spammer"... in just TWO CLICKS it deletes ALL of the user's posts and bans the user - TWO CLICKS... if you had to delete them individually, then that's a problem... if i moderated here, i would see those 95 posts and...

according to "its" profile, wanglili posted NINETY FIVE of those POS posts !!!

ugh...

long-lurker

yikes, first time i've seen it on this forum...

has anybody counted how many posts "wanglili" was able to post ???

I CAN'T COUNT THAT HIGH !!!

long-lurker

that is correct, all part of the fun... also why i only do my updates twice a year (June and December), i do NOT feel "less safe" in the months that i no longer update... i have an iso for each and every machine... complete with hardware drivers specific to ONLY that machine... complete with softwar...

Edit to add: Changing the account/folder name to ANY name other then "Administrator" is better security . So I use the ADMIN account, but change the name to, anything other then administrator.

I am getting this when i'm trying to select POSReady2009 folder with extracted installation files.

are you copying the install cd/dvd to your hard drive?

how do i test to see if my integrated 1.5.28 is working correctly or if i should revert to 1.5.27?

it's all "personal preference"... *ALL* browsers have "security holes", if you think otherwise than i have a bridge to sell you in London... and add "add-ons" to your 'safe' browser just leaves you open for the security holes that the "add-on" *INTRODUCED*... i actually submit that my browsing exper...

my absolute favorite is actually GreenBrowser (most recent update is 12/23/2016)... but it is just a "shell" to IE8 (my IE is actually *disabled* [i rename IEXPLORE.EXE to IEXPLORE.EX_ then create a FOLDER by the name IEXPLORE.EXE to prevent the OS from re-creating the .exe])... GreenBrowser is the ...

i'd personally *HIGHLY* suggest a command line install "switch" that enables a *FORCED* install ***without*** any 'checks' for updates... perhaps a small "disclaimer" that "this version of Extended XP intended for all regular and POS updates through month/day/year, use at own risk if forcing an inst...

nope... my trial-run with "Extended XP" was a VirtualBox install using WinXP SP3 and two update packs (six if you count .net 1, .net 2, ie8, and wmp11) - 1) XPSP3_QFE_UpdatePack for Windows XP Post-SP3 20161026 (by user_hidden, NOT by OnePiece) 2) [Addon] XPSP3 QFE POSReady Updates 20170110 (by 5era...

VERY interested in getting this to work!
but i'm NOT having any success, it simply will NOT install - just get a dialog box to "please install latest windows xp updates first" - WHICH I HAVE (slipstreamed latest updates and posupdates)...

high hopes and hope it works for others...
but it did not work for me

i agree... i don't like Flash or the "Malicious Software Removal Tool" being included... it only "forces" an update pack renewal EVERY MONTH even if there are no "real" updates for the month... edit: ps, i do manual installs of BOTH Flash versions (IE and Firefox/Chrome), i prefer doing them MANUALL...

long-lurker

this might seem like an odd question, but are there, or has there been, any "performance tests" for the Update Packs and the monthly releases thereof? i don't know of what "performance test" benchmark to use, but while i used to be "Hell-bent" on updating *EVERY* month, i no longer do and there have...

long-lurker

definitely the strangest issue i've ever encountered

a MEDIA PLAYER update wreaking havoc with the way that IE8 (technically i use GreenBrowser but it's an IE8 "shell") renders web pages ???

it all snowballed downhill from there, lol

long-lurker

that did the trick!
i'm (finally) back up-and-running

not sure "where" in the testing the .net framework all-in-one (and MS Office 2003) went 'sour' but all is 'sweet' now (excluding WMP11 updates which i'm not too worried about on this machine)

long-lurker

this month's 11th install currently in-process (including this morning's POSReady update) everything updated *except* WMP11 (kept the Onepiece v1.0.0_Final that i've been using) i've had corrupted .exe's in my file transfer process before but it's always been mouse, keyboard, or video driver install...

long-lurker

it appears it is possibly a corrupted .net all-in-one
did a byte-compare of two install DVDs and it's showing the .net .exe as different
have not updated it for several months, it just gets copied from old-DVD to desktop back to new-DVD

long-lurker

i was basically two months behind on my UpdatePacks

i do think there is "definitely" something in an April-thru-now update that is causing major havoc with internet connectivity (wireless in my case) and IE8 rendering (missing images, large gaps filled with empty space, improper CSS spacing)...

long-lurker

same exact issue with v1.5.5 (which USED TO work just fine)

seems it's not the IE8 update pack, but rather this month's XPSP3_QFE_UpdatePack (or last month's, i did not do a full-install last month)

turns out there is another variable - the updated WMP11 v3.5.0

long-lurker

v1.5.7 did not solve the issue (would not connect to internet at all, *only* variable change was the IE8 update pack)...

i don't have v1.5.6
reverting to v1.5.5 (most recent working install)

long-lurker

i'm in-process of a full re-install
with the *only* variable change being dropping back down to v1.5.7

will keep you posted from there...

with this new update, my IE no longer shows the "new topic" or the "update post" buttons on this forum (among MANY other types of similar no-show images on pretty much ALL web sites) web sites also no longer "flow into place" meaning what used to by 1/2" high on the screen is now 1.25" high instead ...

Is there an alternative to MS Office, that can open and edit ".docx" files? I use MS Office 2003 for .doc and .xls and I prefer to *not* use the 'Office Compatibility Pack' which would enable Office 2003 to also open .docx and .xlsx.

apparently not, nobody has chimed in anyway... i personally would still point the finger at ESET... using it for over a year without a hitch doesn't mean ANYTHING... over the years (dating all the way back to the Commodore 64), i've had numerous occasions where "antivirus" programs are the PROBLEM a...
