Moderators mta Posted April 6, 2014 Moderators Share Posted April 6, 2014 stumbled upon this web site which I found bewildering. http://amirunningxp.com/ don't know what is more amazing; the fact someone wouldn't know they have XP, or hadn't heard it has reached its end of life. Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.

Moderators Andavari Posted April 6, 2014 Moderators Share Posted April 6, 2014 They should re-word "safe and secure" because there's no such thing using any Windows OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winapp2.ini Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I think it's a relative term I had a customer's computer with XP yesterday, we're moving his machine to 7 to see if it'll run okay (it came with vista and he downgraded) but I did see the microsoft warning about his OS' approach to end of life winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted April 7, 2014 Moderators Share Posted April 7, 2014 They should re-word "end of life" as well, because millions of XP computers with boot normally on the 9th. "End of support" would be a more wise selection of words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan_B Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 How about calling it :- No more disastrous system killing "Windows Updates" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators hazelnut Posted April 7, 2014 Moderators Share Posted April 7, 2014 How about calling it :- No more disastrous system killing "Windows Updates" Been lucky I guess, never really had that happen to me. Quite a lot of machine that I have seen messed up due to Win Updates have been caused by the user closing down the machine before the updates have finished.

Winapp2.ini Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Hopefully some people get spooked by End of Life and decide to finally upgrade. Windows XP is over 12 years old, I know people don't like change but eventually maintaining program compatibility for such old systems becomes a hassle (Firefox only officially supports XP SP3 at this point) winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators hazelnut Posted April 8, 2014 Moderators Share Posted April 8, 2014 http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/software/1304965/when-windows-xp-support-ends-this-is-how-you-secure-your-pc-and-save-all-updates WINDOWS XP EXISTING UPDATESWe've talked to Microsoft and it has confirmed that all existing security patches and updates for Windows XP will still be available after support officially ends. This means that after the 8th April 2014, you'll still be able to use Windows Update to download all existing security patches.This is important, as if you re-install Windows XP, you should still apply all of the existing patches in order to make the base operating system as secure as it should be.There is a worry that Microsoft will decide at some point to pull the updates from its website or make them harder to get. Don't worry, as the best thing you can do when support ends is to make a custom XP disc with SP3 and all updates pre-applied.

Moderators Nergal Posted April 8, 2014 Moderators Share Posted April 8, 2014 This seems like something they should (edit) not have had to check on, as NT and 98 could still use win update site into the 2010s ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Moderators Andavari Posted April 8, 2014 Moderators Share Posted April 8, 2014 After the final rather smallish update (at least there were no double-damned .NET Framework updates), and reboot this ole cockroach of an OS is still alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
login123 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 One day into the dark side, still xp working fine. I shall run it 'till its little APIs catch fire. (Apologies to winapp). Stay tuned. Let ya know if it crashes. The CCleaner SLIM version is always released a bit after any new version; when it is it will be HERE :-) Pssssst: ... It isn't really a cloud. Its a bunch of big, giant servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
