So with full credit to VistaLover, I will quote the instructions here: During that time, the thought occurred to me that if MSFN was indeed gone forever, VistaLover's instructions might also be lost - particularly the necessary registry edits.

#UPDATE INTERNET EXPLORER FOR VISTA INSTALL#

Update: If you did not install sha2 support in 2019, be advised that the last cumulative update with an sha1 signature was KB4507434.įor the second time in less than a year, MSFN was recently down for about a week. Note: VistaLover suggests installing all updates intended for Server 2008 since support for Vista ended before you begin - an idea that I don't necessarily endorse - but all that is really necessary for this purpose is to install the latest Server 2008 cumulative update for IE9 from Microsoft Update Catalog. Of course every browser nowadays supports at least TLS 1.1 and 1.2, if not 1.3 - but versions old enough to work on Vista are no longer receiving security updates, whereas Microsoft is still issuing cumulative updates for IE9 for the benefit of Server 2008 users.

Before long, an MSFN member with screen name VistaLover posted instructions on Enabling TLS 1.1/1.2 support in Vista's Internet Explorer 9.

#UPDATE INTERNET EXPLORER FOR VISTA WINDOWS#

Three months after Microsoft ended support for Vista, they issued an Update to add support for TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 in Windows Server 2008 SP2, the server version of Vista which is still under extended support until January 2020. Yahoo will be exhibiting at CES, which is being held this week through Thursday in Las Vegas.Browser support for Windows Vista is almost nonexistent now - or is it? If they wish to continue thumbing their noses at Microsoft, power users can turn IE9 into a veritable Stegosaurus: well-protected, but still a lumbering dinosaur. 'We're trying to let people express themselves through Messenger and make it more engaging to communicate,' Jacobson said. This will help let them know if the person they are speaking with can hear them and if their voice is at an appropriate volume level, as well as to make the connection between users a more 'intimate' experience, he said.

#UPDATE INTERNET EXPLORER FOR VISTA SOFTWARE#

The application does not automatically create tabs as some IM software does, however it lets users create the tabs themselves so they have control over which conversations they would like tabbed, he said.įinally, Yahoo has added a new 'voice visualization' feature to Messenger that lets Vista users see their voice on the IM window coming through as a visual sound wave, Jacobson said. Like those applications, which allow users to create tabs for new browser windows to more efficiently keep track of where they are surfing, Yahoo Messenger will do the same for instant messages, Jacobson said. Eventually, Messenger will allow users to share videos this way as well, Jacobson said.Īnother new feature in the Vista version of Messenger follows the lead of both Internet Explorer 7 - the browser included in Vista - and Mozilla's Firefox browser. Yahoo also has added a feature called Yahoo Show and Tell that allows users who are connecting via voice on Messenger to share photos so they can converse or send IMs about them while they are talking. New abilities to scale up in size the avatar and contact information for people in a user's contact list, a color wheel that allows users to choose a new color for Messenger's skin, and a feature that shows a large-sized emoticon that goes beyond the boundaries of the Messenger window before shrinking to its normal size all use WPF, Jacobson said. Yahoo used the new GUI development framework in Vista called Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) as the basis for several of the new features of Messenger. Windows Vista is already available for business users, and is expected to be available to consumers on Jan. The company plans to release a beta of the application in the second quarter of 2007, and a final version should be available four to six weeks after that, pending feedback, he said. 'It feels very much at home as though it's living and breathing in Windows Vista,' said Joshua Jacobson, a Yahoo senior product manager, of the version of Messenger built for Vista. Yahoo will show off an early version of Yahoo Messenger optimized for Vista, with new features that take advantage of some of the user interface enhancements Microsoft has added to the OS. Yahoo will give users a preview of what it will be like to use a new and improved version of Yahoo Messenger on Microsoft's Windows Vista at the 2007 International Consumer Electronics Show this year.
