My Computer Will Not Let Me REPACK Download Google Chrome
Dulce Gleitz
If your computer meets the Windows system requirements above, but Chrome isn't starting or you find an error message about an unsupported version of Windows, you might have Chrome set to run in Windows' Compatibility Mode. Compatibility Mode isn't supported in Chrome.
In many cases even very old computers will still run Windows 10. If you can't purchase a new computer, perhaps you can consider buying a new SSD drive which is much faster and install Windows 10 there are some links on how to install and in many cases the installation will work and activate for free.
I have been told that chrome used to do the client side certificates automatically but apparently does not do that any longer. dont know cant say. While I do know a lot about security , certificates were never anything I dealt with before.
And FYI_all I do have a win8.1 and win10 that I rarely use. Also a 98SE that is used more than the laptops. That is because of space problems now that I am retired for win81 and I have to set up the laptop every time I use it then restore the space to its previous usage. Win10 is just a total POS from my perspective although I know some people love it. I am just tired of learning new UIs that are harder to use to do what is needed. Next time it will be a linux distro to avoid the nonsense that microstuff does to us. Maybe if the 98SE died I would move the data and junk the desktop to make room for the win8.1 laptop.
Just remember to avoid Asian browsers. They are awesome, but they can be somewhat incompatible or, at worst, do some harm to the computer or spy on it. You need a smart IT guy to use them to their full advantage. Don't even consider them now.
There is no money in supporting an OS that is now 20 years old. Could they support it, yes. Obviously they chose not to and that's pretty much the end of it. Staying on something old is up to the user (you) to find ways to make things work.
Believe me, I loved Windows XP but I don't have time and energy to stay with XP as my main computer. I have it running well on VMware 16 for testing, etc. but that's about it.
like I said, if i am forced to do something it will be to use a linux distro. first ap would be libre office for word processing. then a browser. and of course mbam. actually two linuces - one large desktop totally airgapped for wp speed, audio DAW, and financial info security. the other a smaller box with mbam and limited to surfing which includes email using hotmail. also my current pop3 email client unless they finally stop supporting that at my isp.
Here is an article about Backup software. Note that as stated before. If you want to stay on XP then everything you do will require that you do more extensive research as current documentation for XP is almost non-existent these days.
well i bit the bullet and took a chance with a site that i trust and also based on belief that the error message is coming from chrome not a virus. at least i did not see any ransomware like actions next. and i had scrubbed the system with mbam before doing it. will now be doing another scrub to see if anything new shows up after clicking on the clock fix icon.
Google Chrome has been showing "your clock is ahead" errors on Windows XP. Updating root certificates from BlackWingCat's root certificates update solves the problem for now. Also The IdentTrust DST Root CA X3 certificate expired on 30th September 2021, meaning many browsers will break without a certificate update.
Looked at a couple of others and either they failed or I did not like them enough to get them installed as I had gotten chrome to work just fine for many years after firefox/foxfire self imploded on that update. If it were not for their stop regenerating certificates in the XP version I would use it till the hardware died.
Yes, you can run both Firefox and Chrome. However, one will need to be the default browser. For example, Windows will need to know what browser to use when opening links in programs. Certain programs may be coded to only use Internet Explorer, so it is a good idea to leave that installed.
Thank you for the response, Brensson. Although you may occasionally run into the need to use Internet Explorer for certain programs, you can use it only when needed.Any updates to it will install automatically by Windows. Think of it as your 'back-up.' Chrome and Firefox can be your primary browsers but one will need to be the default. Regarding your other question, I understand that after updating Firefox, you cannot get an internet connection in it? Please correct me if I misunderstood you.

2- you don't upgrade your computer or switch to Yahoo, Hotmail, Safari or another server. The danger is that you will surf the web with software/ spyware namely security levels that are 4 years old. Soif a new web parasites comes up, you will be more vulnerable.
Instructure products only require an operating system that can run the latest compatible web browsers. Your computer operating system should be kept up to date with the latest recommended security updates and upgrades.
Chrome has its own media permission within the browser. To use your computer camera and microphone within any Instructure product feature, allow access to Instructure products via Chrome's media permission settings. This prompt appears just below the address bar [1]. To allow access, click the Allow button [2].

The sound on my computer works. The sound on other browsers work as well. The only place the sound does not work is Chrome. This has happened once before but I was able to resolve it. This time, nothing seems to be working.
The only thing that has been suggested to me that I have not yet tried is using Chrome Beta and Chrome Canary. I will eventually try them if nothing better can be suggested to me. I would prefer them to be a last resort though, as I do not want to risk any bugs.
Another solution if you are on win 10. open volume mixer, then open the tab that dosent have sound, it will probably show up on the mixer, and it should be on min level. Once its like that, adjust it to max then its okay now.
What I am trying to do is, lock the browser so that the user can't change the settings/access only 3-4 websites.
I will also be disabling every other browser via group policy, block access to hard drives, program installation and so on.
Is there any tip? That computers will be send as home office and they need to be pretty locked.
I know that physical access can unlock them but I don't think any of the user has that kind of knowledge.
I suppose if you really feel like doing this the long way around, you could go fiddle with the firewall settings on the machine, block everything and allow exceptions for the 3 websites you would like the users to access. Restrict their permissions as much as you can (more than you would in a normal scenario). You could still add Group Policies via GPEdit without having to add the machine to the domain, but this is a lot of effort, time and testing to lock it down this way.. depends on what tools you have at your disposal.
Just remember: Do not underestimate the stupidity of bored users with time on their hands and nobody looking over their shoulders. They will surprise and shock you every single time.
Alternative option would be to lock the OS down completely and only allow them access to VPN and a RDP shortcut. If you have an old server or VM available, go tweak it to your requirements, create profiles for these users with limited permissions and only grant them access to whatever they need to see. Easier to control, and essentially free of charge.
You are approaching the problem wrong in my mind. A work from home or any remote computer should be treated and managed exactly the same as any in office computer. Just force the users to connect via VPN to your domain network and continue managing them via GPO and domain joining them. Your remote users are presumably going to be needed to connect to vpn anyway to do their work.
The Chrome Enterprise Download package includes several ADMX files. You only need chrome.admx and google.admx (and the related ADML language files); the others are legacy policies that generally shouldn't be used.
I still don't know the reasons why these computers shall not be nor remain part of a domain. Being used for home office is not a reason. VPN is available for home office. And I don't know if such undisclosed reasons are valid.
If there would still remain valid reasons for not having these computers being part of a domain, even not a domain these users may create at their home without you knowing, then you still have the option of group policies. Without an AD domain, you're more limited in distributing such local group policies among applicable devices. And local group policies don't require AD domain membership. ADMX and endpoint protection solutions make use of local group policies when AD is not available.
