Can't validate account data in Win XP

Post by affmonster »

14 january 2014 there was a statement that win xp users should use another browsers then IE. As I know TumblingJazz is written with .net so it uses ie sockets, so that you can't even connect to tumblr. Is it possible somehow to resolve this problem?

Your version of IE shouldn't effect Tumblingjazz. However the program does rely on the Microsoft .Net framework, which I must admit I don't know how the support still is for XP.

But you should really update your OS, Microsoft don't support it anymore, you are not getting patches / updates to new vulnerabilities so you are wide open to malware / virus infection

But Tumblingjazz don't work in Win XP. It is related with IE, not framework, cause even in IE you can't get the tumblr page.
In Win 7&8 everything is working fine.

I don't know, I don't have access to XP.

Not even the developers of XP (Microsoft) a billion dollar company, perhaps the largest company in the world doesn't support XP any more. It kinda implies that a small company like rootjazz (who makes a little bit less than a billion dollars a year ;-) ) cannot support XP either.

Whether tumblr works in XP is irrelevant. Tumblingjazz DOES NOT WORK VIA A BROWSER. It exchanges the text based HTTP HEADER REQUESTS. But as I say, I cannot test this. Even if I could, I probably wouldn't. Use an operating system less than 15 years old :-)
