Don't expect MS to change their pattern and will stop activating those OS's sometime hence. Now with W7 off MS support, hope something like this comes along when that machine tanks. Never is it good to look a gift horse in the mouth.Thank you very much. You saved my butt and I cannot thank you enough!! Don't know why or really care why it works. I been sweating what to do since all the old software, a fortune spent years ago, I still use it does not work on VM xp emulation on later OS. All Wpa did was punish paying customers and call all of us thieves and it still does. Activation would not take it seems Microsoft is not doing that on XP anymore. However, it's also left XP users behind as the newest version supported on Windows XP is from 2017.I had to change the hard drive in my trusty XP prof machine and reload from the 160.00 dollar genuine XP install disk. Maxthon is one other browser for Windows XP that enjoyed support for some time. Only version 1.0 of Vivaldi supports Windows XP. Slimjet, a lesser-known but speedy browser, currently offers version 30 for modern platforms but only supports version 10 for XP users. Pale Moon, a Firefox fork, dropped support for XP in 2016.

Most alternative browsers have dropped support for Windows XP as well. Even though the new Chromium-based edition of Edge is available on macOS and mobile devices, there's no way to use Edge on Windows XP. Second, Microsoft's replacement for Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, is not available for Windows XP. If you still somehow have Safari installed on Windows XP, you shouldn't use it as it's extremely outdated and insecure. First, though Safari was once available for Windows, Apple discontinued it long ago. Though it might seem obvious, for completion's sake we should mention two silly-sounding choices. We've covered the major browsers, but what about lesser-known options that might support Windows XP?
