    @VistaLover's suggestion worked My .bat file has been repaired!

    I would never sign up for a contract with my internet service provider that includes a static IP address. My IP address is, of course, dynamic. And I’ve created a batch script that, when double-clicked, immediately reconnects and displays both the old and new external IP addresses.

    On this particular win-7 laptop I have 4 audio-out devices according to the tray sound mixer application. In the mixer, I see a window with a drop-down where I select the device, and in the right-pane are the applications currently running (browsers, maybe VLC if it's running, etc). But I only see these apps for one of the audio devices. I've just paired a bluetooth amp - but how can I select a particular app (say, VLC) to output to it?

    This was triggered by yt-dlp's option --embed-thumbnail. But as I said your previous version 8.1 has no problems playing this video.

    That suggestion works fine here with WGET (the forum's faulty software wouldn't let me put below content inside "code" tags ):

    @Skorpios, no; I didn't think that a right-click followed by "Save Link As" would lead to different results than a left-click, which invokes the captcha. I guess XP users have a way to download the latest version after all. Edit: Just tried it. Right-click and "Save Link As" didn't work for me. I got a 6 kB file. Maybe it's that "referer" Roytam mentioned, but.... @roytam1, all my "referer" prefs in Serpent 55 are at their defaults. A standard left-click on the link brought up the captcha. I haven't yet tried the right-click and "Save Link As." @AstroSkipper, perhaps telling wget to use a Firefox UA along with Roytam's "referer" suggestion might do the trick. I don't really have an option to change my IP address though. I just couldn't imagine Cloudflare leaving such a gaping security hole! @VistaLover, check this out: https://blog.includesecurity.com/2026/06/the-smart-tv-in-your-livingroom-is-a-node-in-the-aiscraping-economy/ Sneaky devils! I don't (and as long as I can get away with it, won't) own a "smart" TV, but I do own a Roku streaming box. I wonder if any of its "apps" are letting folks use my Internet bandwidth without my knowledge.

    Unfortunately I have just installed both of the relevant updates (ntfs.sys and the 872 one) (by install I mean copy the files over for ntfs.sys and run the EXE for the other) and unfortunately the issue persists. Once again, it is just 7. Vista is acting fine now. Seems like I may have to install to fat 16, which I am clueless on doing.
  13. VistaLover
    Exactly! I still keep a portable installation of Mozilla Firefox 52.9.1esr (the last to officially support XP/Vista) for "nostalgia" , and while it's still able to render many sites, it is forbidden to do so because it can't pass/complete CF and/or Anubis anti-bot challenges "protecting" those sites (even old-type ones, like "https://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=38") ...
  14. autodidact
    The codecs shown by VLC should be fine. I'm wondering about the format of the thumbnail you added. Maybe an image format that I need to add support for?
  15. roytam1
    make sure your browser/downloader sends Referer properly. or captcha page will show. for wget, you may need to add " --referer=http://rthost.win/ "

    Your signature ("My hobby website") still links to http://rwijnsma.home.xs4all.nl/ (this now, as announced, redirects to https://notxs4all.home.xs4all.nl/ which states: ) ; would you please consider updating that reference, too ? Many thanks for the new mirror, BTW ...

    AstroSkipper ... thanks for the link. I probably would not have found it anytime soon.
  19. AstroSkipper
    https://codeberg.org/Theodor2/Mypal68/releases You do not need to have an account there. BTW, Codeberg is much better than GitHub.
  20. Monroe
    Any other way to get this download? I am not a member of that group. Why is this not available at the Feodor2 / Mypal68 website? That's where I got version 78.0.2 released in March. I've gone through pages at the site and not really sure what I am supposed to be looking for ... feodor2 or Mypal68. ...

    Windows Updates Downloader Last Updated: July 1st 2026 This is a small program created by jcarle that I have decided to update and maintain that allows you to download all of the current Windows critical updates. All updates are downloaded directly from microsoft's new CDN servers to your computer with a single mouse click. I will be keeping this program up to date and removing bugs. Feedback is appreciated. You MUST have .NET Framework 4.8.1 installed for WUD to function, and also requires Windows 10 v20H1 or above. Download: WUD475B1000Setup.exe - Changelog: Here You will need to install v2.50.1002.0 of WUD before installing this new version!

    Thanks! That helps. But couldron filthare??? What is that? Is that a lovely euphemism for Cloudflare?

    @SweetLow Sorry if it's an ignorant question, but is it possible to install some sort of patch in Win98 SE so that hibernation gets enabled? I ask this because of the reference to Millenium ESDI_506.PDR above
  25. feodor2
    Yeah, you're welcome, I have added some details to the release. Though couldron filthare still blocks us
  26. AstroSkipper
    Thanks! But I am not such a Windows XP user. And I didn't blame anyone. I generally avoid slim, light or whatever releases. And I simply asked to have a look into it and maybe he can provide full releases which haven't been neutered as he did before. Not everything people call for actually makes sense. Especially when even standard videos can’t be played anymore.

    Go back some pages in this thread and you'll find this was a request from several of your XP co-users (aka XP "die-hards"), either complaining about the inflated filesizes of the static executables (hence the "death" of the static "ffplay.exe") or stating they have absolutely no use for FFplay: No, never. I have always double-click .mp4 and is opened in VLC to watch everything and I don't need anything else. I no need scripts for download @AstroSkipper, do you now get the picture why 1) static FFplay.exe was completely dropped 2) the FFmpeg+FFprobe compiles for XP are now built with only minimal support for codecs/muxers/filters etc. ? autodidact is not to blame for that; he just provided what "the popular demand" is for ... Later on, as a courtesy, he added an FFplay shared build ONLY, again with just basic libs, for those (few?) XP users wanting to make use of it: https://msfn.org/board/topic/184368-who-here-has-a-youtube-dl-compile-for-winxp/page/45/#findComment-1288102 More references of mine: https://msfn.org/board/topic/184368-who-here-has-a-youtube-dl-compile-for-winxp/page/45/#findComment-1288026 https://msfn.org/board/topic/184368-who-here-has-a-youtube-dl-compile-for-winxp/page/45/#findComment-1288100 Kind regards.

    Really fascinating, but only for people who’re into quantum physics. But the fact that ChatGPT works is brilliant. I’ve just had a go at Gemini and that works too. And it’s bloody fast, even on my single-core P4 computer with just 1.5 GB of RAM. @feodor2 has really done an incredible job this time.

    Good! I'm glad I could help. For Partition magic try looking at registry with maybe Hiren's Boot CD (contains Registry Editor PE that can open Registry of e.g. WinXP that is OFFLINE, just on disk). Maybe Partition magic registered some "Upper Filter" or "Lower Filter" in "Disk Driver" class (or some other "Class") - that is HKLM/System/ControlSet001/Contro/Class/4D36E967-... .
