AstroSkipper ... thanks for the link. I probably would not have found it anytime soon.

https://codeberg.org/Theodor2/Mypal68/releases You do not need to have an account there. BTW, Codeberg is much better than GitHub.

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 utility 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 the .NET Framework 4.8.1 installed for this utility to function. 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

Yeah, you're welcome, I have added some details to the release. Though couldron filthare still blocks us

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-... .

Oh waaaoh , this is the first time in years that ChatGPT works with Mypal under XP SP3. Only version 78.0.3 works and it is fast. Here is a small paper from me, that confirms the crazy crazy fact, that an classical particel fullfills exact(!) the same Heisenberg Unschärferelation Dietmar https://www.upload.ee/files/19496336/pxxp.pdf.html

Thank you very much for the new release! It works great here under Windows XP Professional SP3. Especially GitHub is running again now, and incredibly fast on my old P4 machine. Everything that worked in Mypal 78.0.2 seems to work in Mypal 78.0.3 as well. In particular, the Alice0775 script loader, all 37 of my own UC.JS scripts, and the installed extensions. Brilliant! I’ll carry on testing, but I’m already thrilled. Can you provide in short what you changed in this release compared to the previous one? And here a quick reminder: The issue #96 on GitHub is still open. Is there anything else to add? I assume it has already been fixed but I might be wrong, too.

@autodidact Here is information about the used codec of the video from VLC:

You can try to change the user agent in your wget options. And just to be on the safe side, change your IP address. No problems here when downloading with New Moon, Serpent or Mypal 78 from o.rthost.win. Nihil in aeternum durat.

I tried to play a music video which I downloaded from YouTube with the H264 codec in the mp4 format. A standard format, so to speak. It was downloaded with my ytBATCH for Windows XP and processed with ffmpeg 7.1 to embed subtitle, metadata and a thumbnail. It can be played with all players, even with ffplay except your recent version 8.2. ffplay immediately closes when trying to play this video. Why did you scale down to basic? Your previous releases have really been fine. In my opinion, the only thing which can happen is that scaling down results in problems playing some kind of videos. BTW, I asked you in a previous post whether you also could add ffplay to your static releases. Is that possible for you?

Right-click > "Save Link As..." works for me on XP. Tested with Serpent52/55, NM28 and MP68. Will probably also work with Supermium, Thorium and forks by e3kskoy7wqk.

Win11 Experimental (Dev), currently 26300.8758 (but with the last build or two also). v3.9.23 (possibly also v3.9.22). Started 2-3 weeks ago. A few days after booting (I boot maybe every 4-7 days, so I've seen this happen about 3 times now), I'm seeing Start/Run do this. It's new behavior this month, but the position of the taskbar, my color scheme (dark), nor any SaB settings have been changed for a very long time (not this year). You can actually see all the items, but only one at a time as you cursor down the list. Normally, the dropdown is not white and you can see everything right away and continually.

I just got bitten by this thing. Normally, when you log in the site sets a cookie that will keep you logged in. As long as you connect often enough, you never have to log back in again. But I guess I went too long, so I had to log in again. Problem is, my browser remembered my user name, not my email address. (That's how long it had been since I logged in last.) And I couldn't remember which email address I had used when I originally signed up! So I was forced to just guess. Luckily, I guessed right (or you wouldn't be seeing this post). But that's a problem. I've had several email addresses over the years and some of them aren't even valid any more. Mutemail.com went belly-up and clear.com got bought out and shut down by Sprint (before Sprint themselves got bought out and shut down by T-Mobile). From the above, I take it the change was made to deal with spam (although I'm not clear how it helps with that, but evidently it does). But there needs to be a way to deal with forgotten email addresses. Perhaps a page where you can enter your user ID, password, and your current email address (maybe with a captcha), and get your old email address emailed back to you, or a link to reset it to the current one. Otherwise you're stuck creating a brand-new account and losing all your settings.

I'm back. R3dfox worked, but good grief. I had to click the stupid "I am human" box. No more automated downloads. What really bites is that I had a nice .bat file that would automatically download the list of files from the appropriate directory at o.rthost.win, find the newest, automatically download that file, back up the old version, extract the new one, and apply all my browser customizations, all with just a few keystrokes. Now that's all been thrown out the window!

Ultimate irony: the Cloudflare security checks block me from downloading Serpent with wget any more. I just get "403 Forbidden." Nor can I even use an old Serpent version to download the newest version! Apparently I'll have to use R3dfox to download Serpent now...? At least I'm on Win 7 and can use R3dfox, but what's an XP user to do now? Have I mentioned lately how much I hate AI? Not because I don't find it useful, but because everybody and their God damned dog is trying to scrape the entire World Wide Web to train their damned AI, necessitating all these damned security checks.

You must be trying to play a format that doesn't have a demuxer and/or decoder built-in. The current builds are scaled down to basic so the avcodec is naturally much smaller, with support for fewer codecs. If you let me know what you are trying to play I can try to add the necessary demuxer/decoder. Also, the current builds have no cryptography library.
