Shortly after I posted this message, someone from DAEMON Tools / Disc-Soft responded to my support ticket and worked with me to get things resolved. I've got to say, the support that I received from DAEMON Tools / Disc-Soft was AMAZING! N.B. this was /weekend/ support / non-business-hours support. Not only did DT/DS locate a copy of an ancient version of DAEMON Tools Ultimate, they helped me get it installed on the equally ancient Windows XP SP3 system. DT/DS even helped me get TLS 1.1 & TLS 1.2 working on Windows XP SP3 /including/ *recent* root certificate updates. Aside: If anyone is interested in how to add TLS 1.1 & 1.2 and transplant root certificates from contemporary Windows back to XP, ask and I'll share. I just purchased a lifetime license based on the documentation on their site. The problem is that they don't have 4.x available for download. So it turns out that the reason that the 4.x installer wasn't available via the DT/DS website is that it's the older licensing model which requires a serial number. Hence why they abandoned it because of anit-piracy concerns. I just need the install files and I'll use my personal license. DT/DS dug up the old method used to create serial numbers and created one for me. Something that's not officially supported any more. I've got to say, the support that I received from DAEMON Tools / Disc-Soft was PHENOMENAL. To say that I am happy with my purchase is quite an understatement. -- Grant. . . . unix || die

It's almost exactly 20Y since it came out. I dareasay that this was in the relatively early childhood of most people working in tech support in 2022. > My personal choice is to use Linux.

OK, I can see that. I keep it around for occasionally rooting and reflashing smartphones and the like, and sometimes for firmware updates. That is mostly it now. Saying that, I did reinstall TinyXP on a Sony Vaio P last month and it's striking how much quicker than Windows Thin PC (the allegedly cut-down Win7) it is. I haven't got all my drivers and things working yet, though, and the Intel Poulsbo drivers seem to nix Windows' large fonts setting, and its tiny letterbox screen really needs that. -- Liam Proven ~ Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk ~ gMail/gTalk/FB: lpro...@gmail.com Twitter/LinkedIn: lproven ~ Skype: liamproven UK: (+44) 7939-087884 ~ Czech [+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal]: (+420) 702-829-053
