OK, I did try that firewall in August or September when the Zone Alarm problems started. I had it saved from your article 'Antimalware, firewall, and other security programs for Windows XP' based on your review. I also had some other older firewall programs saved, Comodo and such. I had trouble trying to figure out Sphinx Windows 10 Firewall to get it working correctly. Probably didn't work with it enough. If I can't get the ZA working again I will install it again and check it out more. Thanks to Multibooter I want to try Kerio Personal Firewall v2.1.5 again. I had completely forgotten about Kerio FW and did not have it on my flash drive collection of firewall programs. I sort of remember it was easy to work with. ...

By the way, build 28000 was not as bad as I had feared, I created an install.wim from UUP, then removed Winre.wim, the size was not too bad (less than 4gb). And while we're talking about this particular build, here's the reg I applied to stop the TaskManager bug: (I'm not really interested in newer builds for now, I used build 28000 because I could use some files from install.wim in my ADK PE 28000) (PS: Also nice to see the "Remove Defender" stuff still seems to work - If anybody knows of recent registry settings needed to "clean" the latest builds, please share!!!)

Great to see an update, thanks for your continued support for WinNTSetup. Last week, I did some tests on the 28000 ADK and installed W11Pro 28000 too, just to see how bad they screwed it up this time. You're our only hope for removing all the junk (from the Setup, for one thing) and letting us use the basic NT core, which I guess is still OK for now. Best wishes for the New Year!

Archives are third party sites, we have no control over them. GDPR only applies to EU citizens where GDPR is enacted in their home country. It doesn't apply to citizens of US or non-GDPR countries. The request has to be written in a certain way, according to the law, which I've read (as well as that dumb EU Copyright Directive). It has been done now so there is no reason to keep this thread open.

This drive does have the DVD symbol or logo. Hard to believe it's over 20 years old. I've tried other retail DVD's (not blue ray) on this drive. As soon as disc is inserted the drive becomes active, windows is putzing with it for about a minute, then it becomes quiet. In file explorer I click on the dvd drive but all I ever get is a message box saying to insert a disc into the drive. Does XP need additional drivers just to recognize an actual DVD disc, to see the file system of a DVD?

hmm, confirmed v30i and v31 also works. and it seems to be broken in v31a and later. since there is no release note and/or changelog for v31a, nothing is known besides ntdll and kernel32 are newer in v31a.

WinNTSetup 5.4.2 - fixed could not start minimized - fixed some wimcapture issues - fixed possible buffer overflow in some minwin functions - fixed crash on malformed Win10Builds.ini - updated ux and drvinst patcher for Win11 build > 28000

@nicolaasjan changed the download link to his Windows XP release of yt-dlp. Moreover, it is no longer provided as a ZIP file but an executable one. Therefore, the yt-dlp update module inside my ytBATCH versions doesn't work anymore. I have already fixed that and am in testing phase. Additionally, I made further changes and implemented new features. When all is finished, I will release ytBATCH for Windows XP 1.7. Cheers, AstroSkipper

Many programmes come with their own OpenSSL modules to establish secure connections. If such a programme is no longer updated, it is only a matter of time before secure connections can no longer be established. Local updating of the OpenSSL files by the user, if possible at all, can then help. A global installation of a current OpenSSL version will not help at all in such cases, as it is simply not used.

Yes, just the “Mypal has caused an error in XUL.dll” dialog, then crashes. There isn't any unhandled exception.

Aside from the heavy looping in ucrtbase and msvcp140, all looks good--v4 is doing its job. Did these runs exit silently?

MP68APILOG.zip And yes I already cleared Kstub.log before doing this.

Yes. The disc seems not to be compatible. Try it in a Blu-ray or DVD player to test the disc. ("Disc" is optical; "Disk" is magnetic)

I believe V4 is working and the Access Violation at 0xFFFFFFEA is just the next issue. Clear the Kstub log and run without DW. It won't launch, but we should see RaiseException (and hopefully more) in the new Kstub log and in the ApiLog window. Try with and without Kex debug mode. Meanwhile, I'm updating FineSSE to handle Continuable Exceptions and display a stack dump.

I've been using EAC on XP with a Sony DVD RW DRU-510A drive to rip a bunch of audio CD's. One of these was cd with companion DVD. I put the DVD into the drive, but file explorer doesn't see anything there. It just keeps asking to put a disk in the drive when I point it to the drive. I thought there are a bunch of VOB or VOD files that are visible on a commercial DVD disk. Should I be able to see some files here?

Without a correctly installed and running HTTPSProxy, you will get this message each time under Windows XP when trying to activate Panda. Whether the proxy is working correctly or not, you can see in its console window. If you are not familiar with these proxies, then you should read my article ProxHTTPSProxy and HTTPSProxy in Windows XP for future use.

in my next attempt to activate Panda under WinXP I have used a genuine gmail email address. After entering the email address in window "Activate Panda Dome", Panda Dome again displayed "Error checking the account. We're sorry but we were unable to access your Panda account. Make sure you have an Internet connection and try again."

For example, I updated the OpenSSL Shared Library inside the programme folder of MusicBrainz Picard to get their last XP-compatible version 1.4.2 working again.

I have : msvcr100.dll 10.0.40219.473 (Windows 2000) msvcr100.dll 10.0.40219.325 (Windows XP SP3) Those belong to Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 (direct link; no idea if it will work for your system). msvcr100.dll 10.0.40219.473 copy from my Windows 2000 here.

I'm no lawyer... but... what you are saying, if I understand it, is that the server is physically located in a country that follows EU's GDPR privacy laws. Which state that any customer requesting deletion of "attribution" is to be honored, REGARDLESS OF WHAT COUNTRY THAT CUSTOMER LIVES IN. But, as is no suprise to me, even that GDPR law does NOT apply to ARCHIVED DATA. So, in many ways, "why bother"?

My inquiry about OpenSSL for Windows XP was to see if it might fix my Zone Alarm problems that I have been having since August. I came across someone else having some ZA problems in a search and they were advised to install OpenSSL to see if it might fix the problem. So that was the main reason for my search. After I found OpenSSL ... I installed it and it did not fix the problem ... actually made things worse. I had more dlls messed up. I put a 'pre OpenSSL' backup back on and no longer have any interest in OpenSSL. I tried something else yesterday and it seems to be working ... ZA is actively starting so far and not shutting down. The trouble started with the ssleay32.dll and then a few others but mainly the ssleay32.dll. After a week or two I guess I will know if it's fixed or do I install another firewall. ...

Sorry. Everything I see on the web says there never was a retail version of MCE. Is there a way to trick the install disk into thinking MCE is already installed and then do a repair from the setup disk via the repair option?

Hello roytam1 and nicolaasjan, Thanks for the feedback ! roytam1 said: "v31l here and it just triggered vc++ runtime error." nicolaasjan said: "I have Windows 2000 with extended kernel here in a VM and the latest New Moon works fine." "Ah... I have Windows2000-KB935839-v30fM-x86-ENU" anton12 says: Win2000-KEX-KB935839-v31lM here and I have Visual C++ Runtime error as well (s.a.). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ roytam1 said: "runtime files are not changed and it works on XP SP2 with hotfix or SP3 using same runtime files, so the problem could be in w2k extended kernel." Which M$ Visual C++ Runtime do you use in W2K-Kex (v31lM) and XP SP2/SP3. Is it newer than M$ Visual++ Runtime 2008 ?

Responded with PM. Note that a request for account deletion specifically to remove attribution for privacy purposes is moot at this point. The site is archived to bejesus and back, so even if an action is taken to remove attribution, that information will still exist on other websites. Re laws and this forum, we are bound by the laws where the server is physically located and no others.

Which programs did you revive by updating their OpenSSL components? Do you still use them under WinXP?
