Hide Outdated Version Warning

Post by L.A.R. Grizzly »

I have an old Win7 machine that only supports SM 2.40. When I open SM, I get this red band below the location bar telling me that SM is out of date and to check for updates. I have checking for updates turned off in Preferences. How can I get SM to stop alerting me with this red bar? Thanx!

My machine is very old and the processor doesn't support SSE2. I can't go higher than SM 2.40.

Thanks ElTxolo! The culprit was:

Code: Select all

app.update.lastUpdateTime.background-update-timer

If that "old" machine is manufactured before mid-2005, then you need to get rid of it for good, L.A.R. Grizzly.
New year's resolution for year 2019 - dump any non-SSE2 computers or replace their motherboards with ones that use SSE2 capable processors (minimum Socket 775 [Intel] or Socket AM2/AM3 [AMD] and at least DDR2 RAM chips)

I stopped using Intel Pentium 3s for good in mid-2014 and I got rid of old motherboards that used AMD Athlon XPs in early 2018; so I have no more old PCs that use non-SSE2 CPUs.

I have 5 machines. It's just one of my backups. I even have one with WinXP. A lot of my old software won't run on newer platforms. My main machine is SSE2 compliant and up-to-date. "Old Reliable" will stay as she is. I have no intention of dumping her!

Pentium 4/Celeron D on Socket 423 and 478 support SSE2!
