9.2 doesn't work w AthlonXP

[JohnnyBob]

Maybe I'm supposed to know this beforehand, but there's nothing like firsthand experience. For the record Palemoon_portable 9.2 won't run on my Windows XP AMD AthlonXP x86 (Socket A) MMX SSE desktop computer:




The 3.6.30 regular version works OK, and guess I'm stuck with it on this computer(?).

Yup, you're stuck with it; the decision was made long ago to exclude certain older CPUs from Pale Moon 4 in order to optimize PM 4+ further.

Yes, it's called "Paying attention to the product's website"

You might want to check minimum system requirements as posted on the Pale Moon homepage before trying to use a piece of software:

That must be why you didn't read the Help before posting this thread

Could be. I don't know.

Never mind. I've changed my mind. I don't think Pale Moon has a future so am dropping it. It seems to be a one man ego operation with all the associated foibles. Good bye and good luck!

Ooh, touchy! Well, I hope you enjoy whatever browser you choose to go for, instead

As for "ego operation"... - thanks for showing you have no appreciation for someone providing you with something for free that takes many hours of work for a release. You might want to re-think what you think my motives are for releasing Pale Moon in the first place.
