Which certificates are stored there depends on the OS. Important is also the ability to deal with the new certificates signed with SHA Support for these was added with XP SP3. I suspect it's that XP can't understand the certificate the site is providing. Chrome and IE delegate the task of validating the certificate to Windows. Firefox does it itself. But without an example of a site that is failing, it's hard to be sure. It might also not be the certificate at all, but the cipher suite.
This website, for example, doesn't work on XP but works on Seven: mpql. Show 1 more comment. Dallas Dallas 36 7 7 bronze badges. Hmm, it makes sense But what exactly is that makes Windows XP itself incompatible? Aren't SSL certificates handled by the browsers? What do they have to do with the OS? Because the way it stores Certificates. The computer stores certs so it knows that the site "person" its talking to is trusted or not trusted and if that site is who that site says they are make sense?
Can I ask a question why you are asking this question? I'm asking this just out of personal curiosity. I have an old XP laptop that suddenly stopped working with some sites and was wondering where in the line between opening regedit and being a Microsoft developer would one be needing to stand to solve it.

However this did not work, as the portable app apparently tries to go online to find the 'real' version of Google Chrome in order to do an install and it can't find it presumably it is ver I can find and download Google Chrome FileHippo , but I have no way to make the Portable Apps installer make use of it.
If you can find and place the installer file It will check it's the correct one by ensuring the MD5 is c63d17dcbeeb1adc3f4a13bb There's also a chance that error means that Chrome can't read your settings from Google if you're logged in, which is a possibility as Chrome 48 was dropped a while ago. I want to thank you for your response. I appreciate you taking the time to reply and for being very explicit in your response.
The fact that you named the file I need " That installer file was already downloaded into the correct folder, but it had a different name, and that was causing the install to not work though I had no idea that was the problem.
Because your response was so clear it helped me right exactly where I was stuck. I also appreciate you telling me the MD5. The install of Chrome Portable worked. And the new install does not have the error I was having, so I am basically fixed.
On your suggestion, I have installed ff 52 and will try it out. I used to like ff a lot but it got flaky on me. I don't like google but Chrome was pretty smooth sailing so I ended up using it for quite a while. So far I am not loving all the outbound connections ff makes at startup even having gone through all the privacy settings AND the "How to stop Firefox from making automatic connections" stuff , but I might see if I can tame that and keep using ff.
