To clarify: I wasn't suggesting that you use Brave. I was just stating that if my instructions differed to what you saw in Chrome, it was because I was using Brave, but they should be pretty similar since Brave is based on Chrome.
Yes ur suggestion or pointers was right. For past month i was using EverSync. However that app doesn't work, if the developer had kept it alive.
Please see the snapshot. I am thinking it must have been an old application. I liked that but it was too buggy.
9 out of 10 time it shows the extension is not working. But it was almost everything i wanted. But u need to pay to use in full version.
What was that.jpg
Guess i will keep searching if i find it.

Goodnight Deozaan.

I'm not sure I understand your needs. If you just want to backup your bookmarks and restore them to another machine, what's wrong with the built-in export/import options?

I'm pretty sure Chrome allows you to backup and sync your bookmarks across your Google account if you login to the browser itself.

Or you can also do it manually. I use Brave, which is based on Chrome, so it should be something like this:

  • To export: Press Ctrl-Shift-O to open the built-in Bookmarks Manager ( chrome://bookmarks/ ). Then click the three-dots menu and select Export bookmarks.
  • To import: Click the hamburger menu and go to Bookmarks, then select Import bookmarks and settings (which should take you here: chrome://settings/importData ), then select Bookmarks HTML File from the dropdown list, and select the file containing your exported bookmarks.
I just want to make a backup of my Chrome browser, some kind like a portable backup application.
Also the default Bookmarks from Chrome browser, isn't very flexible. Like it doesn't display the icons for a site saved.
Thats all. Some OP doesn't even have the idea what i m talking about.
I checked the Brave browser application. And i do not want that kind of application.
I was looking for something portable and also a dedicated Bookmark backupper.
Sorry for late reply, i was out of station for few days.

Thank u for ur suggestion.

Hello folks, i am trying to make a backup of my Google Chrome(Bookmarks).Thats will work in a 64bit machine too.
Anyways i am on a 32bit pc.So what i want is an application that does the job of bookmarking.  :-\ :-\ :-\
I am willing to spend some money on it, even if it cost me money. I am ready for that.
Could you kindly tell me or redirect me to any site that does the job.

Shareware or Freeware.
Awaiting some response from the professional people.

Hello folks, i ran into a new problem. Currently i am using Win 10 (x64-bit) edition.
I h' a game called Dead Rising 2 but when i was on Win 7 (x32-bit) whenever i Quit the game and restart after say 10-15 min i get error.
I think this most probably has to do with Directx file not being downloaded.
So i installed this game in Win 10 and there is bootstrap file to download the required Directx files.
Its in this path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Dead Rising 2 Complete Pack\_Redist\DirectX\dxwebsetup.exe
But i checked the TEMP folder and the C:\Users\pinso\AppData\Local\Temp folder. There doesn't seems to be any folder or file created.
So i am asking u, who are into techy stuffs and know what is where.
Where does this folder be downloaded so that i can make a copy of it and install in Win7 (32bit) machine. Becoz that machine is quite fast, so the performance of the game will be compromised. This game lags in Win 10.

I hope it is understood and any suggestion is welcomed.

Tell me which version is out i.e., Visual Basic. Ohh its not VB Studio u were looking for then, yeah.

Here is a link to Microsoft Visual "BASIC 6.0 Professional Edition:
Download here:

Thank you mouser for clearing that up, i definitely just needed that information.
Yes, VB 2017 is very intimidating and little overwhelming for beginners. But the compiler is free to download unlike Delphi ( sounds uninspiring ).
But i think i will stick with VB 2017 and 2019. Visual Basic 2019 and before were compatible with 32 bit architecture.
I believe Visual Basic 2022 is out; for Professional, Community and Enterprise version. But its only for 64 bit machine and i still do not have one. :(
But i downloaded the bootstrapper file and downloaded it for offline installation, came close to 30 GB. Both Pro and Enterprise.
Offline installation package of Visual Studio 2022
Spoiler
vs_enterprise.exe --layout c:\localVSlayout --lang en-US


Run this from commandline and leave it overnight for it to download and voila. VB 2022 on C:\  :P
I am fired to create an application that really translates to my native language.
I am thinking of creating an android app too, if i know C++.

Its just the way the programmers use terms and some terminology or english language while they teach is really mind boggling and
brain rattling. But its human who are programming, and i hope i can achieve that goal too.
I will definitely share it here at donationcoder first.

i really want to make a application that i can translate local language to my native language.
Of course according to history, there were no native from the place where i belong.
But our community's language is seriously getting lost in modern times.
So i think my choice of language would be C# (C Sharp) yeah!

Anyways could u guys tell me, i have Visual Studio 2017 and whenever i create a new project, it has the option to
create a Visual C# project, so! My question is; Is Visual C# similar to C#, or could i code in Visual Studio 2017 the way C# is meant to be coded.
I hope it is understandable, i will rephrase that again, whatever compiler i use according to Udemy's instructor, could i use VS 2017 to write C# codes.

Hello folks, i am really quite puzzled and don't which way to head first.
But i have taken course in Udemy for Python.
Clipboard01.jpg
I have comepleted the course but it left me with a scratch on my head.
I thought what could i do with it.
But let me tell u, what i want to do with learning to program.
First of all i want to make interactive GUI application for various needs.
I want to start it off as a hobby, there are quite a good number of courses in Udemy but now they don't offer
discount. But that is not the problem. But i don't know which to start of with.

But i have few application like 32bit Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 and 2019 right now which is a C++ program.
So there is also one called C#. So C#, C++, Java, etc etc which should be the easy way out.
I personally want C++, because i had learned it on my School days and now i am 42 yrs old.
I really don't have much free time. But it wont be forever.
So can some experienced person suggest what are the needed language i should go for and what should i keep in mind
before diving deep in it.

Much thanks for ur time. I know i am not a geek, but i have free time. Maybe like Python i wont be able to do anything with C++.
Any suggestion.

Thank u for ur time(Shade and BGM), i think Shade said a lot about x509 certificates.
However i need that certificate only for data signing, predominantly which the program SecureZip for Windows (from PKZip) offers.
Which requires a private key and a public key to decrypt if i need to send some important files to my friends.
Yes it was x509 certificate and not SSL certificate, which is require by the browser to website connection.
Pretty darn complicated methods and to get just a simple task done.



One video i had made about how the encryption with a private key would look like.
I missed where i kept that certificate, it was valid.
I found a site where u can create ur own self signed certificates:
Create A Self Signed x509 Certificate Using OpenSSL on Windows
https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/create-self-signed-x509-certificate-using-openssl-windows-bhosale/

Another:
https://www.openssl.org/

Could anyone tell me how do i use this tool, there is no openssl.exe.
Does it run from a command line or from a Linux command line. :huh:
2022-07-17_125050.png

How do i run this tool OpenSSL
I don't know it this is any similar to OpenSSL Wizard mentioned by BGM

Hello i have a nagging problem with this certificate which is required by this program called SecureZip for encryption and later which could be easily decrypted by a public key.
I managed to get my hands on a free program called Docentric.CertTool
Here is the website:
https://ax.docentric.com/free-self-signed-certificate-generator/

I managed to create a personal certificate, but when i open Securezip.
It shows as not valid but still i can select that certificate and furthure create and encrypt a zip file.
I hope it is understanable till this point.

2Clipboard01.jpg
I don't understand if its a x509 certificate that is required or what is.
As this is my first time and trying to encrypt a zip with a private key certificate using Securezip.
What would u suggest for this problem.

Thank you guys, for the past few days i was out of station on a personal work and i had to catch my flight (it was my first flight) so i couldn't reply promptly.
But now that i am back i read through every suggestion. Honestly thank you for ur time but i think i agree with MilesAhead.
These are all specifications that the manufacturers of your motherboard and CPU provide on their web-pages.
The motherboard website doesn't mention anything about supporting USB 3.0
and i also agree dual processor can support USB 3.0 but it also needs to be mentioned in the motherboard's website.
Which i couldn't find. I also saw there was only 1 person who bothered to download the info. on my motherboard.
So i'll take the cue and understand it doesn't support USB 3.0
Since i have already tried 100 times to install the card.

But it wouldn't boot to XP or 7 desktop on a dual boot.

12
Hello people, i needed some advice regarding whether my old pc which has a dual core processor.
Which also supports PCI slot, but i am not able to get to install or run USB 3.0 on my pc.
I am on a dual boot. After inserting the Quantum Zero USB 3.0 in the PCI slot the Win xp wont boot to desktop.
I tried to switch to Win 7 from the Boot Manager and still the same issue.
I did mage to use the molex connector from the power fan. But it wont boot to Win7.
So what is the problem, is my pc incompatible or too old to use USB3.0
I attached a small html file : specs about my pc.

Any suggestion welcome.

13
The free version looks interesting and I can see a use case for example on my son's pc where there just isn't that much that changes. I guess this software worked fine for you other than the disk space issue?
Man i have been using Rollback Professional ver from 2018 (almost 3 1/2 years). Up till the second year it was all good.
But i noticed this error from 2020. Its some bug issue i suppose.
I thought it would make my system bullet proof, but i was wrong. Never use the free ver too. :(

14
Thank u guys for honestly involving ur time and concern for this post.
But i came to a fix. Simply by uninstalling Rollback RX 10.7, i was able to salvage the space.
After that the disc displayed correct available and consumed space. After selecting Disc detail.
My is an old system with dual core, which honestly hasn't given me bad results.
I thought my system couldn't handle Rollback, but the problem was RollbackRx Pro.
And i h' decided never ever to use Rollback again.
But the problem was fixed, it was the software itself.
Thank u guys, every one who posted. Some i couldn't understand because of my English. U guys r so thoughtful and honest.
 :Thmbsup: :Thmbsup: :Thmbsup:

I don't think changing the download location could magically claim lost space in c:\
Thank u for ur time and concern.

16
If that helps, here it is.
I don't know where the error is starting.
chkdsk c: /r too doesn't work.
I open cmd prompt as an administrator and it did restart and completed the chkdsk process.
But still no improvement.

17
Try running CHKDSK C: /R in PowerShell (you will need to restart).

Sometimes if there are issues with the file map on the drive space remains marked as in use after deleting files.

You could also use the built in Windows utility Disk Cleanup from the start menu (just click start and type Disk and it will popup, run it and click Clean System Files). If you have old leftover windows installations after updates they take up a lot of space (sometimes 30Gb+). Note it can take a long time to delete some stuff so be patient.
-Carol Haynes (March 30, 2021, 07:53 AM)
I did it 2-3 times just to be sure but it didn't stop or reverse the process.
So are any other ways. I m on a dual boot XP & 7.
But the vol with 7 is still showing problems. I was though thinking of doing that but payed little attention to it.
I don't what to do at this point.

WizTree - Find out where the space is being used first.
Thank u for the link, i already h' SpaceSniffer. Although i did use that in the past. Without much success.
As this tool is doing the same. It shows all the files but those are important or video files.
I just deleted The.Lord.of.the.Rings BluRip that was 6 GB but the Windows Explorer didn't show any decrease in the
file size. So i m thinking maybe i installed some program that is encouraging this behavior, for that i need to restore the
snapshot many time to see the changes.
But even there is a reason behind it, could anyone suggest something. :-[

General Software Discussion / Cannot claim free space in C:\
« on: March 30, 2021, 01:58 AM »
Hello guys, i thought i would post my problem here. Since Google didn't show many results.
U see my problem is my C:\ is 200 GB which is quite less for Win7.
I h' portable drive to make a backup of my data. Which i do and its going okay.
But whenever i download some movies to drive C:\ it occupies some space and over time it becomes quite full
but i also delete those files which r on C:\; but when i check the details it doesn't show the amount of free space available.
Please see snapshot.
Clipboard01.jpg
So as it doesn't do that, i end up with more and more used space, i don't know what i should do to
claim those free spaces. At one time, my available free space was only 11 MB and Win7 showed some errors. But
it quite did not claim the free space. So eventually i reverted back to the snapshot that was fresh and still working with
lots of space. Due to this problem i h' to go back to previous snapshot again and again. (I use Rollback Rx for that).

So guys hope it was understandable, how do i fix this.
Please do not tell me to use Disk Cleanup tool as i h' already done that and it shows only 200 MB of file to be deleted.
Where as i am talking about 80-90 GB of space. Refresh button doesn't help.

I think the proper term would be i had mistakenly allowed a cookie to track my search in Google which results is some unwanted ads.
During that time, in the heat of things i had selected accept, then the problem is bugging me.
I really wish i could selectively or individually remove this bugging tracker from unanimous place.
Do u happen to know how i could achieve this. U see, i am quite satisfied with how, Mozilla displays the search result and it specially
helps me in purchasing accessories whenever i search it on Google in Mozilla Firefox.
I am using Mozilla 67.0.3(x32bit). Awaiting reply.

General Software Discussion / Mozilla search result behaving abnormally?
« on: September 22, 2019, 08:26 AM »
Hello Mozilla users.
A week or months ago, i had allowed one app from doing something that i don't clearly remember about.
But the nagging thing is that, whenever i try to search for something.
It also show's some other results which i do not want.
It's like the normal behavior of the browser is changed.
I have been using Mozilla for years and i don't want to change or install or move to some other browsers.
So please help me with this change, i want to remove that app or thing that is making Mozilla behave in a strange way.

Please see the snapshot for the difference.
The first image is how Mozilla used to behave and i am fine with that. But then after few seconds it shows different results(Second image).
a1.pngb1.png
If you want to see or know the difference then try typing Shadow defender download in the Google.
It show up something like this is in the image. But in my case it changes to different page. How do i fix this.
I don't want Mozilla to behave that way. Any help would be great.

If you couldn't run Win7 on your machine, how is any WinPE after XP going to run?

To handle >2TB in XP x86 you need to either:
1) format the HDD using GPT partitions, (instead of MBR), which XP x86 can't handle anyway, or
2) see if there is some utility on the manufacturers website that will format it so it can be used on XP, (something they used to provide).

There was a driver that allows XP to handle GPT, Paragon GPT Loader but it's discontinued, send them a message maybe they'll give you a copy.

The other alternative if you want to stay with XP is to move to XP x64.

On a next reboot , i didn't give the live Ubuntu USB enough time to reboot itself, i removed the usb half way and now the condition is
i cannot load Live Ubuntu it show some kind of error msg when it is about to load.
Windows and GPT FAQ
My machine run Win7 fine, however what i meant was it was failing to recognize a wireless device. Like a Wireless Adapter to connect to net,
and later i realized it was due to faulty driver installation. XP is running that device fine it shows no BSOD, my DVD drive was trashed and i had to
use a portable Ext DVD drive, which didn't do the job properly or reading the disc drivers.

So download and put it on the flash drive again.
Anyways i still can do this. Yeah.
Reinstall Ubuntu to the USB and boot from there, as long as it is working. Why not. hmmmm

Also the GPT thing is only for internal 2.2 TB+ above HDD, not for External. And, it can only be used as a Secondary unit.
I got it downloaded but just saw a GUI, its for Internal 2-3TB HDD.
Anyways don't have much use for Paragon GPT, i'll go will Live Ubuntu.
Why not.

Thank you 4wd, your suggestion is valuable.

Hello, i just recently purchased a 4 TB Ext HDD. It requires Win7,8 & 10 OS to run.
I am running Winxp, my hardware actually came with Winxp and i tried 7 but continuously got some error when i
would insert a device like a, wireless device. So after thinking a hell out, i decided i would switched to xp again.
What cannot it do that 7 can. XP is still good on hardware it came with.
So, my new Ext HDD doesn't run on xp.
So i was hoping to get my hands on a Winpe utility so that i can burn it on a DVD and from there on i would load it and copy some files
from my another 1 TB Ext HDD.
It is some good 250 GB of files that i need to transfer.
Hope i my problem is understood, or what would u suggest. I cannot load that new HDD when i am on XP. So it can be booted
being on a Win7 environment, so like a WinPE for Win 7.
I tried a live Ubuntu and it did boot and recognized my new Ext HDD and i copied a lot of files.
On a next reboot , i didn't give the live Ubuntu USB enough time to reboot itself, i removed the usb half way and now the condition is
i cannot load Live Ubuntu it show some kind of error msg when it is about to load.
It simply doesn't recognized other USB device. Its failing and the only option left is a Winpe tool.

General Software Discussion / Re: Can I make a Live Win XP USB.
« on: January 20, 2018, 10:47 AM »
BartPE...that used to be the tool to create a bootable Windows XP CD/DVD. Done that myself in a distant past.
Links:
http://ask-leo.com/h...cd_using_bartpe.html
http://www.instantfu...dows-xp-live-cd.html
Even a youtube video:  https://www.youtube..../watch?v=78gKzcuq-dw
There was an alternative tool, WinBuilder, that was supposed to be able to do the same. Never tried it myself, so ymmv.
Link:
http://www.intowindo...e-live-xp-cd-how-to/
That should get you underway.

I've used BartPE and WinBuilder, both are good, WinBuilder (main site, tutorials) being a little easier, IMHO.
There's also AOMEI PE Builder which will create any PE from XP -> 10 whilst also adding their Backupper and Partition Assistant utilities.
There was also another but I forget the name, (started with R, IIRC), it was a wrapper for BartPE and made adding utilities easier.
Also, a utility was available that could capture installed programs, (or as they they were installed), and create a package suitable for adding to WinPE environments, worked for both BartPE or WinBuilder, IIRC.
Have to look through my file archives to find these again.
Used to spend hours working on creating WinPE environments, these days I don't bother, easier to boot a Linux CD to run recovery programs or such.
EDIT: The other PE creator was called REATOGO which doesn't appear to exist any more, the plugin builder was called H7PluginBuilder which also doesn't exist.

Hello guys, thanks for replying.
#Shades #4wd : I was looking forward to only make a Live XP USB, not a PE.
You know live OS tends to be flexible in due time, you could use legacy software and still be able to run files and program's
with it. PE is still just pre-installed, it's still limited and its good until the Disc is in good condition.
Although its almost the same, for me it is still recovering files from a failed unbootable disc.
But the thought of having a "OS" in a USB is fascinating for me.

My DVD ROM needs fixing. Its broke and i have started collecting a bunch of USB.
I have Disc but they tend to weather away by time, because of dust n dirt.
But today or just now, i made a LIVE XP USB!.....check out the screenshot man.
WinxpLoaded.jpg

Ironically, the tool that could do was the first tool i had mentioned in my post above, its very lite and surprisingly it did it.
USBoot 2.14 Download
You need to have a hardware that still runs WinXP PRO, which i had with me.
You should probably have a fresh install of WinXP PRO. A working bootable WinXP CD.
Its a three step process and could take sometime.
Also it require a net connection in order to get a Response Code which is a part of the whole installation process.
Kind a easy.
Here is a complete Tutorial:  MAKE A LIVE WINXP PRO
Youtube Video Tutorial : YOUTUBE VIDEO TUTORIAL

You could achieve the same thing from a Virtual Machine using VirtualBox or VMWare but it cannot complete the third step.
So if you do not want to mess with the process, use a old pc with a fresh WinXP PRO already installed.
You will not be disappointed. I downloaded WinBuilder but it didn't go beyond this error message like proxy setting....this and that.
But i am glad you guys took some time for my post. Donationcoder has really been lucky for me, keep it burning man.

Thank you, love you guys.  :D :D :D

General Software Discussion / Can I make a Live Win XP USB.
« on: January 19, 2018, 09:33 AM »
Hello folks i am trying to make a Live Winxp USB by a tool called "USBoot 2.14" and "WinSetup-1-0-beta7". Okay i have attached the files and from my experience you will not have much success by using the first tool.


The second tool comes pretty close as there are a bunch of tools ready to prepare your USB.
The tricky part is i have tried it and there are certain instruction you need to follow after the WinXP comes to an end when installing it on the USB.
Certain steps need to be followed but i couldn't access those steps as it was not available to me. Maybe the XP setup process may have erased those small programing details because after all the steps during boot process could possibly be erased.
As it is installing in the self, or the USB.
But i am too puzzled to explain.
What i want you to do is make a live bootable xp from the second tool.
I hope you have an extra XP image file at your disposal, please try to recreate a live XP USB and could you tell me how its done in actual way.
Or could you suggest me some other tools to make a LIVE XP USB ready to be deployed.

I really hope you have some success with the second tool and if u r then please
repeat those steps in this post. Again you could suggest some thing as i have found only two tools that could do this.

Hope it is understandable. I am eagerly awaiting your process and idea on this
tool.

Hoping to hear from you soon.
Happy New Year 2018 :D :D :D

P. S: Please try downloading those tools n please use tht same name while searching in Google.
The combined size was 9 mb. Thts big so please download urself n see the process.
Cheers  :Thmbsup:
