Insights into progress of development: youtube.lua I have completely reworked my youtube.lua script. Now, the title of the video stream and an English subtitle is shown in VLC if available. Settings of both are done in the VLC settings which is then read by my script. The complete script has been optimised for best performance under Windows XP on my old, weak P4 machine. And no JavaScript challenges, of course. Here is a short GIF file: On a computer with multi-processor technology, this runs at lightning speed, of course, compared to my single-processor computer from 2000.

I was able to figure out the main issue after chatgpt referenced boot image related stuff. essentially it was not using the actual modified stuff, because i wasn't providing the .img/.ima base file from beforehand when creating the boot media via the software i was using. i know you did mention about this earlier, but i didn't understand what that meant exactly in my context. for those starting with just the 98SE boot disk iso, you'll need winimage + ultraiso and / or anyburn, but if you already have a stock 98SE boot image in .img form, then all you need is ultraiso i believe. i had chatgpt write a short guide on this, but i'm also providing the boot disk in .ima form already + my modified 98SE boot disk iso already made as attachments for some time so people can download and use / test, though i haven't been able to test the iso one's actual functionality, because i only have unsupported systems at the moment that are incompatible, like "hp 14-dq0054dx" using an external usb optical drive, shows as no fixed drive present, AHCI not loaded, etc. the boot disk doesn't support NTFS. It is essentially stock 98SE boot disk + CTMOUSE, AHCICDA.SYS, HimemX2, JEMM386.EXE, UIDE.SYS, modified autoexec.bat/config.sys/setramd.bat. https://limewire.com/d/Dq2t6#JQjSz1GzN9 SHORT VERSION for creating bootable el torito cd iso using extracted modified files injected into ultraiso + stock 98SE boot disk .ima file: CLEAN SHORT METHOD (what you want) You already have: - Stock Win98SE boot .IMG (good boot sector) - Modified boot files (CONFIG.SYS / AUTOEXEC.BAT / drivers) - ISO content (WIN98 folder / CAB files etc.) STEP 1: Open the .IMG in WinImage and make sure your modified CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT are inside it. Save the .IMG. STEP 2: Open UltraISO. STEP 3: File -> New -> Data CD/DVD Image STEP 4: Drag and drop the Windows 98 CD files into the ISO project: - WIN98 folder - CAB files - SETUP.EXE (if present) STEP 5: Bootable -> Load Boot File Select your modified Win98SE boot .IMG STEP 6: File -> Save As Choose: Standard ISO (*.iso)

MSFN was not his only active forum under the same name. He hasn't visited those forums since November of 2023.

It has been two years since @Humming Owl last visited here. You could try sending him a PM. This is, of course, off-topic, but I hope he's OK too.

I saw the news says that there was a earthquake in your country, are you ok?

@roytam1 OK, it's taken a lot longer than last time, but we're at page 200 again! Could you do your usual thing, and when the next set of builds is rolled out, start a new part 6 thread with them? Thanks.

Seems to be real, here is another source: https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2025/06/24/stay-secure-with-windows-11-copilot-pcs-and-windows-365-before-support-ends-for-windows-10/#:~:text=Editor’s note – June 25%2C 2026 Editor’s note – June 25, 2026 – This post has been updated to reflect that the Windows 10 Extended Security Updates (ESU) program for personal use devices is being provided for an additional year, with coverage now available through Oct. 12, 2027. This extension provides customers with more time to transition to a new Windows 11 PC while continuing to receive critical security updates.

I burned the 98SE boot disk iso onto a cd and booted it via internal optical drive ( sata in ide mode ) on the Hp probook 6460b. I have used this method on other computers without problem, of course, almost all of them were much older ( usually no newer than ich6 ) and usually the connection was pure ide, not sata in ide mode.

Users can find the information at Microsoft's webpage. However, there is no official announcement from MS, so I don't know the information is true or not. Maybe the webpage was hacked. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/extended-security-updates

Yep! Thanks for fixing!

I think there's maybe a few more members on MSFN that do still dl the ulz's, but yes it's not as high numbers like back in the day. And I also provide the update lists on the My Digital Life forum site, and there is more members that do dl them too. So good news I'm not stopping anytime soon. I understand if you're into hardware more than software, I like both and can assemble my own PC though not recently due to the high costs of components especially memory and storage. I have managed with the use of a extension installed in VS2022, to convert the code from C# to VB.NET, but I will be able to resume programming when the GitHub copilot limits reset on the 1st July, as I'm on the free tier. So it could be next month when the Beta version is released but that's not a guarantee.

Used where? You described only problem with install Windows 98 from CD. No mentions of attempt to boot from USB Drive for example. Do you understand what is boot floppy image and what its purpose in CD-ROM boot process? Your .ISO has UNTOUCHED floppy image. I assume it's time to read something, El Torito standard for example and to study some .ISO authoring/editing software.

Steven: I wish I could help you but i'm more of a hardware guy than software. I hate to say this and maybe i'm wrong but I might be the only one DL the updates? Plus from jan. to may every year I snowbird to Florida so I dont make iso's those 4 months. If I'm the only one making use of your talents then I understand if you have to shut it down. I guess I'll survive by just seeing what new updates my computer installs after every patch Tuesday and get them from microsoft catalog. more work but that's the only thing I can think of. But if you can update WUD it would be GREAT. thanks again for all the time and effort you are putting into this. ps.. I just tried dl kb5094126 with WUD and it doesn't DL. I've noticed this happening at least the last 3 months of using WUD. it seems the large cumulative msu doesn't DL anymore. I've been going to the catalog to get them. Maybe its my system, but I doubt it... regards...

No, i used various combinations in your "a20alwon" package, all of them produced the same messages i mentioned earlier. these were all with usb legacy checked in bios, and fast boot = off. i also re-tested your "2_1_PREFERRED" method with usb legacy unchecked, but no change. To isolate this better, can you perhaps upload an already made modified ms dos 7.1 boot disk iso for me to test so i can check whether i'm doing something wrong or not? I attached my original 98SE boot disk below ( expires in 1 week ). https://limewire.com/d/ow9JG#U7khgdkRPI

And what’s the situation on the Windows XP front?

Asking AI suggests there should not be a difference. But there really is! No clue why. I've been trying to track that down ever since 360Chrome did that first-launch-lag in XP x64. It really is a matter of FORTY SECONDS verus ONE SECOND. But again, no clue why, been trying to track that down for YEARS. I *was* willing to accept it being "just my hardware", but I have confirmed the same exact behavior on two different machines (10yr old Dell Latitude E5470 and 1.5yr old HP Ultra 7 265). Will perform on a 10yr old Dell XPS 8700 in the next week or so.

Definitely have to disagree. Sure, it was possible that my observation on one machine would not carry over to other hardware, ie, a statistical outlier. But I have now observed on TWO DIFFERENT machines (will perform on a THIRD within the next week or so) that Chrome/Chromium/Supermium/360Chrome *FIRST LAUNCH AFTER REBOOT* takes FORTY-PLUS seconds in LTSB 2016 but only takes ONE second in LTSB 2021. All things identical except from the OS. I acknowledge that this is "probably" only a Chrome/Chromium/Supermium/360Chrome issue, but it occurs in ALL OF THEM and behaves identically across the board all dependent on a 2016 OS versus a 2021 OS. For me, sorry, it is NOT tied to hardware. All hardware between both installs were on the same exact machine (two of them, a third in the queue).
