Restarting DisplayFusion doesn't help here (and take longer than disabling and reenabling autohide).

FFmpeg shared for Vista x86.

I personally am not and it still happens every reboot, so not sure if DisplayFusion exacerbates the issue further (though I'm gonna hazard a guess and say it doesn't, SAB just doesn't like whatever changed in the cumulative update)

I figured out to restart DisplayFusion when that happens.

This happens with KB5066835 I already tested it by installing and uninstalling with the taskbar fixing itself once it is uninstalled. I personally just kept it uninstalled for now because the update has a major issue with not being able to use USB Keyboard and mouse if your PC ends up having errors and needing to go into bios. The issue comes back regardless if your monitor goes to sleep. I do not have displayfusion and the autohide fix stopped working with random full screen usage. For now I have uninstalled the windows update KB5066835 until Microsoft fixes the major USB mouse/keyboard issue and when SAB is fixed with the update itself.

Court cases are kind of meaningless in this case. Or the "Tor Network" would have died out long ago... Torrent files would no longer exist... Multiple social network sites could be sued for "bullies" leading to teen suicides or "cutting"... We'd have ZERO news networks because both sides would have court cases identifying the opposing view as "fake"... We'd have seventy-times-seventy times as many "activist judges" as we already have... Web sites with "general discussion" sections would all fall of the face of the Earth... Et cetera...

I watched my first video in a couple days. This works. -f 96,96-0 --extractor-args "youtube:player_client=web_safari" Some of the formats are in other languages. I wonder how it works if it is an AI speech synthesizer and the author gives it the text, or if the voice is entirely supplied by the author which would be a lot of work.

Yes WS addressed that and the court case being dismissed. I have searched the WS Reddit page but all that has been pushed further back with newer questions and replies. From memory it was the fault of the company supplying the server. They were in the process at the time of changing servers over to a 'no logs' policy. Then the court case was thrown out this year. They have been growing in the last ten years, people seem to like the company. They still do offer 10 GB free every month on the free plan. That's why I signed up 5 years ago ... at the time they had a nice Win XP app which went away about 1 1/2 years later but people already signed up could still use Win XP for the 'free' or 'pro' service. https://old.reddit.com/r/Windscribe/ For newer computers you might want to check them out. Then I just came across another company that also offers free 10 GBs every month also but they have nothing for Win XP that I can find, but it may be of value for newer computers or phones. https://privadovpn.com/ Download Free VPN App for Windows Get 10GB of data for free every 30 days No payment details required, no strings attached, and no hoops to jump through PrivadoVPN is committed to protecting your privacy for free Is PrivadoVPN a no log VPN? Yes, we ensure that we never log browsing history, traffic destination, data content, IP addresses, or DNS queries. We encrypt all data over our VPN connections, and we do not inspect or record the contents of what you are viewing, browsing, or doing through the PrivadoVPN connections. Free VPN (10GB/month) | Unlimited Devices - PrivadoVPN https://privadovpn.com/freevpn/ So that may be another option for some people. I still like the Japan VPN that I mentioned in my first post. It sets up everything very easy and Win XP works very good plus in 2025 support for people still using Windows 98 SE can be a plus. Most of the servers are located in Japan but there are others scattered around other locations ... but most seem to be in Asia. ...

Update on Kstub825: Not sure whats going on but now both IE and Explorer works fine with Kstub825, something to do with my KernelEX/Windows installation I guess? The Kstub825.ini doesn't have enough functions to launch Firefox-based browsers by default so I had to add several functions and now it launches again.

Yes, I've already tested it and everything is working. 🙂 However, now the question is ; how long will yt-dlp on XP keep working?... 🤔 Soon, an external JavaScript runtime will be needed. Deno is out of the question on older systems and yt-dlp-getpot-jsi gave me errors on both Windows XP and Windows7 (see Issue 9 ).

You could be right. I can't say I agree or disagree. In the context I used that example, I am referring to objects of orientation. Not really intending to claim any particular imagined object as good or bad. Just that the objects are not actually real, only enforced as if they are. For example, if you break a law of man, you face consequences from man. The law is imagined, and the enforcement is an imagine correlation (although completely within causal logic) brought about by mob-rule. An example, for cross examination, is when you place your had in the fire, actual laws cause your hand to get hot and or burned. The resulting consequences are not correlated, to the the causal act, by imagination only; they are real. It may seem like it is all irrelevant, because the consequences you pay (from the imagined dictates of mob-rule) are still real, in their affect. But for examining the differences between your life and societal life, the distinction is relevant. So, it doesn't matter if they are good or not; they are still imagined. In order for you to act on them, as good or bad, you have to first drink the kool-aid (not meant as a criticism). However, I'm not sure that having enforced national boarders, prevents a globalized world. We may already be in one, but allowed (and highly encouraged) to see nations. In point-of-fact, it may prove to be advantageous. The less aware the public is, the easier it is to "Wag the Dog". But, again, I am not really informed enough to really comment on it further.

and you can change general.useragent.compatMode.version that reports to websites in about:config.

I agree - some Web sites work better if you report an older FF version than the default (128), as long as it's not too old. You may need to experiment with a Web site to find the "best lie" to tell it. To be fair to YouTube, I doubt they test with Pale Moon (let alone New Moon), so they probably don't know it works! The script runs slowly on New Moon/Serpent/MyPal, especially if you have an older PC; so the browsers time out waiting for it to finish, and give you that dialog. I'd try clicking "Don't ask me again" then clicking "Continue." You'll probably need to be patient waiting for the script to complete, and it still may not work. But at least you'll give it a chance!

@nicolaasjan : https://3dyd.github.io/pyinstaller-builds/ Your prayers have been answered! https://github.com/3dyd/pyinstaller-builds https://github.com/3dyd/pyinstaller/tree/6.16.0-xp

You can always purchase Swiss Crocs directly, avoiding Amazon. Suitable for your weather. Ge 4/4 is still available. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crocodile_(locomotive) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crocodile_(locomotive)#/media/File:Ge_6-6_I_407_Krokodil.jpeg

I'm not surprised as Czech Republic is well known for its mediocre (at best) goods. On the other hand, that poor quality mass products fit Amazon very well, they can buy it for cheap and then inflate the price.

I am.

That used to be case back in day before Valtion Rautatiet/VR (Goverment Railroads) was turned into VR Group company. Since then price been going and reliability down. If you happen to live outside big zones after retirement of express trains and most of regional trades aside from those horrible DM12 you wont get anywhere, you pay intercity premium for intercity train going at express train schedule. Main selling point of intercity was that it would stop only at major cities while express train did on others and regional train did stops express train did not. problem is not so much about trains it is more about buying trains that are not suitable for harsh Finnish climate then doing own modification trying make them not fail, in case of DM12 add casing to keep ice out, but never clean then so leaves would build up and well these pictures tells enough... https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/89/Dm12_4412_14.5.2020_Otkes.png https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/53/Dm12_4414_5.6.2021_Otkes.png that train was not even made by Finnish, it was made by Skoda. We did solid trains like DV12, DR16 or for commute traffic DM6/DM7 "lättähattu" but that was back when we had our own engineering.

No. Borders and lines between nations are good. This globalised World is the reason for the bad we see. I started to boycott Amazon about 10 years ago, when they introduced purchase limitations, exactly like they do in the Communist world. People in the comment section wrote, Amazon simply copies what Russia retailers do, including the not real sales. So, basically, everything bad we now have in the Western World came from Russia, China, Cuba, Vietnam and similar purchase limitations nations.

I would also like to add that during further research, I discovered that "AHCICD" and "AHCIWRAP" (both of these drivers individually) support on-the-fly loading through "DEVLOAD.COM" at any convenient time when needed (they do not need to be loaded through CONFIG.SYS). However, I was unable to do anything with "GCDROM.SYS" (it seems that it requires a pure SATA connection without AHCI, or my controller is not yet compatible with it, or there may be something else entirely). But since "AHCIWRAP.SYS" has already fixed the issue mentioned in the topic title, I have added "[SOLVED]" there. Thank you all.

Ffmpeg has grown to be absolutely ginormous. I remember how they used to have their own encoders for h.264 and h.262 with shared parts. The new encoders are far too slow, and more encoders keep getting invented. If I needed video, I would use x264 instead. Some people actively promote ffmpeg as a solution for all, but it kinda tries to be a jack of all trades and not the best. I don't see a use for ffmpeg for YouTube downloads. So what is new? How do we rip today? What numbers to use for Safari HLS?

The Internet has always been bad. The intent, from the beginning, was never in our best interest. What made it good, was us. That is where the issues seem to be coming from. The Internet is less "us" as users and more as "us" as members. The playground has a lot more rules. What is making the Internet worse, is the very invested interest in turning it into an eventually "required" public utility. Once "Zero Trust" technology is more fully integrated, into peoples lives, there won't be much left that allows people a "casual" life, without Internet access. Captcha,2FV, browser scrutiny checks, and gaming services requiring root access to your device, are all parts of easing the world into accepting the idea of secured devices and "state level" digital I.D. authentication. 90% of the world's Governments and 90% of the major tech sector are very openly "PRO" - "Zero Trust" services. We are surrounded by simple examples of this everywhere. For example, apps that won't install on devices that you yourself have administrative access to (rooted), age verification laws, China's voluntary Digital I.D. (is voluntary really voluntary, if you live in China), fraudulent student loans, fraudulent employment, a good supply of data breaches, deep fakes, cyber attacks..... it almost seems like an endless list of real good reasons, for "Zero Trust". So a "secured" device will equate to, a device that has "secured" your personal and legal potential/liability to the Internet and the device you are using. I hope I'm not coming off as in support of this; I don't care for it at all. I'm just putting it out there, and trying to express that this is no personal theory of mine. I think most people kinda suspected this was the intent for the future. But, for anyone interested, the term "Zero Trust" isn't mine. I think even light research could turn up the relevant information, to confirm what I have here laid out; just dig into "Zero Trust". I think that there is probably a good portion, of many societies, that would find this information comforting. It will come with all kinds of changes, that many will find pleasant. I'm just a freak that views life and societal life as two distinct things. Anything that makes it harder to realize that all society is imagined (and functionally upheld by mob-rule (like lines between nations) kinda bothers me. I kinda feel like Internet as a dependency is one of those things. Sadly, for me, I don't think there are many people left, that can understand the difference between life and societal life. When most question what their life is, most probably cannot identify much, outside of a societal context. This kind of self identity, is one of the reasons we are where we are. It is also the cause of a lot of major human emotional distress. We are provided/grown with mental pattern structurings, like low/high self esteem. At the very root, self esteem establishes the your value is measurable (almost certainly at a social level). That alone is a core fracture in the truth of your reality. No matter how you look, smell, are treated, etc., you will always be the most important person to yourself; and with that realization there can be no self-esteem. You have to be good enough for yourself, it is your "only" option. The interesting thing here is that such capacity to realize yourself, puts you in line with definitions for psychopathic and sociopathic traits. It becomes clear why, when you realize that psychological health standards are set via sociology (social psychology). So, you are not a healthy member of society, if you see your self as a "singular" individual. You are psychologically healthy (for the whole) when you see yourself as an individual/member of the whole. To wax on this a little longer, there was a study about mice living in mazes, having observed two primary types of mouse reactions, to it. In one, the mice would establish habits of feeding, drinking, and grooming, well adapted to the construct of the maze. One note of interest, is that they began to groom quite constantly. The observing scientist nick-named the group "The Beautiful Ones". In the other, reaction, the mice were excessively focused with escaping the maze. Many were so concerned with escape, that they did not eat or drink; eventually perishing. This excessive grooming is masturbatory (psychological, not sexual). This masturbatory compulsion, for us, is the result of self identification within societal life. In other words, our natural patterns are replaced with ones provided to us. Any pride, opinion, psychological insecurity, and most identity traits, are completely masturbatory (pleasing/displeasing ourselves by the imagining of ourselves). I'm not saying I prefer chasing each other around with rocks, as we fight over the last fig. I just think it is a good and honest context, for understanding the aforementioned topic(s). Anyway, glad to see people resisting cellular payments. Maybe, with your help, it is something I don't have to try finding a way around from, for another handful of years.

It's from July 2022, I think I got it from here. I'll try those six OLE files as KernelEx helper modules.

The first posted version of Kexstubs825 had a bug that required a careful workaround in the ordinal definitions. A fixed version was reposted and included in later Kex22 update packs. What is the date stamp in the KernelEx tab of your copy of Kstub825.dll? I recommend trying the six OLE files discussed in this post as KernelEx helper modules. Yes, Oleaut32.dll 2.40.4519 (recommended for standard usage) can be easily patched to add an export for Ordinal 327. I'll do that now.

Thanks a lot for your reply ; as I wrote, Vista SP2 32-bit here; from 2016-2018 I used to use MABS (MSYS2/MinGW) to compile locally non-free ffmpeg builds; after that time, several MSYS2 components went Win7+ (e.g. "make") and by 2021, the compiler itself stopped being available for the 32-bit architecture; needless to say, latest MABS is meant for a recent version of Win10 64-bit; yes, you probably can still compile 32-bit binaries with it, but those won't run on Vista, possibly not on Win7, too ... The AnimMouse ffmpeg builds used to be Vista-compatible, but broke at some time (early 2022); as a Vista user too, you probably know those things already ... I'm not closely following current FFmpeg development ; at one time I was aware that the FFmpeg code itself continued to be NT 6.0 compatible (as opposed to NT 5.x), so that a "no-libs" compiled binary would launch normally under Vista; but a lot of the third party (external) libs built normally into FFmpeg are the main culprits for breaking Vista-support (x265 comes to mind, with its NUMA Win7+ functions ) ; it must be quite an enormous task today for you to restore NT 6.1/6.0 and even 5.x support on your custom FFmpeg builds; you are to be highly praised for this feat ... On a 32-bit, under-resourced (by today's standards ) machine, I practically have little use of most of those extra libs (especially video encoders); I rarely do video transcoding here, mostly audio transcoding is being performed; it's those many optional external libs that inflate static binaries' filesize and are the cause for broken NT 6.0 support, for all I know... Thanks for your intention! User Reino here (now on Win11) used to offer both static+shared 32-bit builds, targeting WinXP SP3 and an SSE-only CPU, ca. every 4 months ; it'd be very sweet from you if you managed to offer something similar, but for more recent CPUs (e.g. SSE2+) and on Vista+... FWIW, this thread started a long while ago and mentions "winxp" in its title, but is actually frequented now by members of various WinOSes ; so I hope you posting Vista+ FFmpeg builds will be OK ; of course, there's always that ... "Willing to test? " -> Simply throw "them" at me ... Best regards.
