      @Ramsey Hi Ramsey,
      the Quantum Browser 68 from Feodor is stable, shows each window correct
      and also correct size of letters on each website
      when you set in the running Browser

      about:config
      browser.tabs.remote.autostart

      to "false"

      Otherwise for me it crashes XP SP3 always with wk32.sys message

      @sia Not sure what you try to do, but you can change the Unattended setup by Deleting or Editing the file "WINNT.SIF" in the ISO/Disc directory ".\I386".

    I would propose this patch: https://vk.com/wall-4203814_14653
    this fixes incorrectly assigned "c_1251.nls" file to windows-1252 codepage
    but this could be specific for Russian version, idk

    I see Novodvorskaya on your avatar, so you maybe will be able to understand the description :)
    thanks

    Thank you VERY MUCH for your effort!
    I have only one small question: What is "FlpyDisk Patch v5515"?
    And if yes, why "v5515" then? I failed to find any such version numbers in this patch...
    Thanks in advance though!

      This v5515 is the Windows XP SP3 version of this patch. But I can't remember anymore if I did this SP3 port or if I got this from somewhere else. 🤔💭

      Okay, I've found that you've got it from MDGx (https://www.mdgx.com/xp.htm#PSP3).
      The original file is deleted but wayback has preserved a copy: http://web.archive.org/web/20210506113111/https://www.mdgx.com/files/FLPYDISK.EXE
      (FYI: can be unpacked by 7-Zip instead of installing)

      It's based on Alter's FlopX xp-v1 patch (flopx_xp_v1.rar) but with some changes over it.
      Here's the list of them that I took from FLPYDISK.TXT included with the modified version:

      - uses default FLPYDISK.INF from XP SP3 instead of Alter's one from 2002 because it's more complete;
      - added custom VS_VERSION_INFO into flpydisk.sys which was missing;
      - has build number raised to 5515 from 5512 in original Microsoft driver.

      Thus "v5515" is NOT a version of the patch itself!
      So please change a line in the list of patches fixes from
      * FlpyDisk Patch v5515: Allows Non-standard Floppy Formats [flpydisk.sys].
      to
      * FlopX XP-v1a Patch by Alter (MDGx fix): Allows Non-standard Floppy Formats [flpydisk.sys].

      Also, please consider adding FLPYDISK.TXT to the distribution, it is very informative and worthy. It really took me a decent amount of effort to figure everything out.

      Cheers.

      I'm sorry to disturb you again on this seemingly insignificant matter.

      In the new release of WinXP-IE (2023-06-16), you changed the line to the following:
      * FlopX Patch v1a: Allows Non-standard Floppy Formats [flpydisk.sys].

      But it's not so clear because:

      1) Alter had original versions with the number "v1a" only for Win2k and NT4, but not for XP (check his website). I named it "XP-v1a" on purpose to distinguish it from them.

      2) There is no mention of MDGx. I don't know if he had authored the fixed version, but I have not found it elsewhere. Maybe add the following links at the end of "FlopX Patch v1a.txt"?
      * This patch was downloaded from the MDGx website:
      https://www.mdgx.com/xp.htm#PSP3
      http://web.archive.org/web/20210506113111/https://www.mdgx.com/files/FLPYDISK.EXE

      3) It would also be nice to convert this text file from Windows-1252 to UTF-8, because it currently has at least one line that makes it incompatible with US-ASCII: "Christoph H. Hochstätter".
