I wanted to open a new thread for getting forticlient 5.4.1 to run on w2k exkernel (last version). Unfortunally, I get error EX1364, but I found out that a comment here is possible for me. For a working forticlient I would need: -NdisCancelSendPackets -NdisGetPoolFromPacket -NdisIMGetCurrentPacketStack -NdisIMNotifyPnPEvent function in ndis.sys. Trying XP or even whistler ndis.sys will be followed by BSOD. For installation of forticlient 5.4.1, I had to edit the forticlient msi-file with orca and get rid of the IE8 restriction. Then, installation was possible, but it stopped and hung on "starting the services" because of the missing dependencies of fortidrv.sys. Forticlient 5.4.1. works with w7 and wxp32 and gives with both os a stable connection to my organization. Perhaps @blackwingcat can help. I tried also forticlient 4.3.5 with exkernel, it installs and works OK, no missing depends, but will loose connection immediately after having successfully connected to my organization. Perhaps also a version between 4.3.5 and 5.4.1 could fit for w2k exkernel, but I could not find an offline installer, since I am not a paying fortinet customer. Also the other versions took long time to find. Perhaps someone here has a fortinet support account and could provide some offline installers for the free forticlient versions between 4.3.5 and 5.4.1? Greetings from Austria, Joe

it sounds to me someone is trying to make a windows 2000 support for this, or at least it would go that direction i once told sam and dibya what i think about that the GetLogicalProcessorInformation is available in windows xp with SP3 that one contains also NUMA information (SYSTEM_LOGICAL_PROCESSOR_INFORMATION structure) NtQuerySystemInformation( "SystemLogicalProcessorInformation", buffer, *len, len ); maybe "SystemNumaProcessorMap": https://www.geoffchappell.com/studies/windows/km/ntoskrnl/api/ex/sysinfo/numa.htm many mothersboards dont have more of NUMA´s, it used to be an second socket for a second (or more then 2 cpu sockets) - with own wires to extra ram (like the RAMBUS-RAM (rd-ram) used to do this) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-uniform_memory_access that in win2000 ? raise questions if you want the file what was about to being made for firefox i sended you a private message it may not contain that specific function, however it shows a different way to get this value and give a idea how the ntoskrnl is holding it https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/sysinfoapi/nf-sysinfoapi-getlogicalprocessorinformation if you really want to have this reaction you have to make a ntoskrnl kernel extender here is a implementation from doxygen { ULONG MaxEntries, Node; PSYSTEM_NUMA_INFORMATION NumaInformation = (PSYSTEM_NUMA_INFORMATION)Buffer; /* Validate input size */ if (Size < sizeof(ULONG)) { return STATUS_INFO_LENGTH_MISMATCH; } NumaInformation->HighestNodeNumber = KeNumberNodes - 1; /* Compute how much entries we will be able to put in output structure */ MaxEntries = (Size - FIELD_OFFSET(SYSTEM_NUMA_INFORMATION, ActiveProcessorsAffinityMask)) / sizeof(ULONGLONG); /* Make sure we don't overflow KeNodeBlock */ if (MaxEntries > KeNumberNodes) { MaxEntries = KeNumberNodes; } /* If we have entries to write, and room for it */ if (Size >= FIELD_OFFSET(SYSTEM_NUMA_INFORMATION, ActiveProcessorsAffinityMask) && MaxEntries != 0) { /* Already set size we return */ *ReqSize = FIELD_OFFSET(SYSTEM_NUMA_INFORMATION, ActiveProcessorsAffinityMask) + MaxEntries * sizeof(ULONGLONG); /* For each node, return processor mask */ for (Node = 0; Node < MaxEntries; ++Node) { NumaInformation->ActiveProcessorsAffinityMask[Node] = KeNodeBlock[Node]->ProcessorMask; } } else { /* We only returned highest node number */ *ReqSize = sizeof(ULONG); } return STATUS_SUCCESS; }

I know this might be bit off topic but can you topic if any about vista haswell patch and what limits it got? Does it fix random launch errors and programs crashing? Is it meant to be used with other extensions or how? I cant find lot of information on it and really would like to know if it is worth it. Second system also seems interesting and I may consider creating patreon account, grab myself prepaid credit card and mess it once I got more time and motivation to work on my 7 workstation. There are few things it may permit me to run again. There seems to be lot of drama over paying for it, but I think it is fair to ask money for it, but last time I checked you needed this thing called money to live in this world. Perhaps it changed while I was not looking. Maybe someday win32s may release it for free for everyone enjoyment but they are currently WIP so either take it or leave it. It is not essential to life like water or food or shelter. What is this thing called real life . Well jokes aside as far as I am aware there is no law that requires anyone to be in any forum unless want to. I am floating on and off from msfn, well be fair I had bit more going on life recently.

Thank you for your response. I appreciate your help in confirming that this issue only occurs on my system. As you suggested, I changed the settings and tested again. I found that It only works when switching the browser to a private browsing window. It gives an script error, but the page loaded successfully. Is there any reason behind this behavior? Thank you very much.

Well it might or might not work. I looked around and Kxproject drivers are WDM (Windows driver model) based which was used from Windows 98 onward. There are some differences in WDM between 98FE and SE and those changes may break things. You can try driver and see if it causes any errors. There was also WDM update for Windows 98SE numbered Q242937/Q269601. That was included with some sound cards atleast. Not sure if 98FE had similar update. If you extract update using for 98SE it got newer wdm driver files. Yes I am totally aware you talk about 98FE and what i am getting after here is that you extract driver files from update using /c switch then attempt dirty replacing on 98FE and hopefully not hose up things. Here is US version of update I kept copy on my site since it is hardest to find considering ms never distributed it on their site (https://web.archive.org/web/20000711041313/http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q242/9/37.ASP). Anyway below is nice direct download to the update. http://nokiamies.net/files/upd/win/98SE/269601USA8.EXE I know this is not straight answer but better have kick in some direction than no kick to any direction at all. I am pretty sure there are little to none those mad-lads who insists on doing something just because (count me in to those ) , so you propably need figure stuff out yourself via trial and error. Of course I can try help best I can but I am not miracle, just ordinary boring technician. Let me know how it goes and any errors may encounter

Youtube should work in Serpent 52. The useragent override is Firefox 60 by default. general.useragent.override.youtube.com;Mozilla/5.0 (%OS_SLICE% rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0 You can try at least 68 or better something like 140.

the problem is Data in that Index is not available in older version of windows, so NtQuerySystemInformation will return error.

Hello everyone, I’m currently testing Serpent 52 (Roytam1’s browser). I’ve followed all the instructions discussed in this forum, and everything seems to be working well so far. However, I’ve noticed that YouTube (both the mobile and desktop versions) does not load properly — as shown in the attached screenshots. Interestingly, the YouTube mobile site loads correctly in Firefox 52 ESR, but not in Serpent 52. Could someone please test this on their end to see if the site loads as expected? I’m wondering if this issue might be related to a specific browser setting or configuration in Serpent 52. Any feedback or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

On Windows 10 I think the profile should be at C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Supermium\User Data.

Are you using Extended Kernel? I had a similar problem when I was using it. Never found a solution to this problem, so I had to stop using Extended Kernel.

@roytam1 Can you please add more following functions to kernelxp.dll wrapper also for other apps besides Serpent/Mypal 68: SetDllDirectoryA CheckRemoteDebuggerPresent SetProcessDEPPolicy GetProcessDEPPolicy GetSystemDEPPolicy GetThreadId InitExecuteRunOnce LocaleNameToLCID

its probaly a known path - it can differ - you also can set some of these best would be to search your disc for a known and relativ unique file filename xp useally has it like at Documents and Settings\ (user like administrator or all users) there then should be something called userdata

where is the userdata stored and where do i copy it to in the portable version p when you click on the plus sign on a tab how do you get it to open on google NOT Supermium page

If by 'standalone' you mean a portable version, yes there is. If you are going to continue using Supermium, please continue this in the Supermium thread.

done that now on supermium 132.0.6834.226 (Official Build) (64-bit) thorium on youtube was fine yesterday is there a standalone for this and where is All data stored when you click on the plus sign on a tab how do you get it to open on google NOT Supermium page

That is the most recent version according to the repository on GitHub. It was released back in February though, so it's now nine months old. I would recommend switching to Supermium, which is now on version 138.

what is the latest thorium release not sure it youtube is playing up or its the brower my version is Version 130.0.6723.174 (Official Build) (64-bit)

The 'dog account' (Jaguarek62) posted on October 29th in another thread on a completely different subject, so it is still active. No forum rules have been explicitly broken here yet, and I trust people will be aware and careful about this.

I finally managed getting Serpent 52 to work stably unofficially on Windows XP RTM by using kernelxp.dll wrappers by roytam1 and ntdll.dll from XP SP1. I also finally managed getting Mypal 68 to work stably unofficially on Windows XP RTM by using kernelxp.dll wrappers by roytam1, removing manifests to mypal.exe/mozglue.dll, and using ntdll.dll from XP SP1.

It's not true, Chromium is open source, what prevents him to post Supermium here, as well? Or, maybe, we, the local peasants, aren't good enough?

@Dave-HIn addition to these several topics, including this one, MSFN is now flooded with this "win32 system" commercial advertising spam bots. The dog account, for example. It laid dormant for years. https://msfn.org/board/topic/186755-how-do-i-mod-vxkex-to-work-with-windows-8x/#findComment-1283485

It's not "false", release and instructions are two different words, and even then, no Kernels were present on MSFN! And the last "release" is obsolete as it's dated 2023, again, not present on MSFN, never was. @NotHereToPlayGames, the counter counts all visits, including the anonymous.

for doxygen the function look like this: BOOL WINAPI GetNumaHighestNodeNumber(PULONG HighestNodeNumber) { NTSTATUS Status; ULONG Length; ULONG PartialInfo[2]; // First two members of SYSTEM_NUMA_INFORMATION /* Query partial NUMA info */ //Status = NtQuerySystemInformation(SystemNumaProcessorMap, PartialInfo, sizeof(PartialInfo), &Length); // SystemNumaProcessorMap = 55, // 0x37 Status = NtQuerySystemInformation(SYSTEM_INFORMATION_CLASS)0x00000037, PartialInfo, sizeof(PartialInfo), &Length); if (!NT_SUCCESS(Status)) { return FALSE; } if (Length < sizeof(ULONG)) { return FALSE; } *HighestNodeNumber = PartialInfo[0]; return TRUE; }

For the shake of test I tried the Windows 7 (32bits) binary posted with quickjs (thanks to the developer of this tiny engine) and I wonder how powerful computers do the people that develop things have? Literally, it hangs a few times through the compute, even for a fraction of a second, while resolving the YouTube challenge :/ Multiply that 2 times, as I check the available formats, and then download the desired format, and the benefits of downloading+playing performance vs viewing on the page, starts to vanish. It has been requiring more and more compute time through time but... wow Or the whole process gets optimized or... YouTube is winning by far. For those interested, I only have a Core 2 Duo. As most here, old hardware, yes. EDIT: I wasn't initially able to make the latest published x64 version (2025.11.01.082330) work with quickjs (my fault by setting the path "--js-runtimes quickjs:'c:\balbla\'" instead "--js-runtimes quickjs:'c:\balbla\qjs.exe'" because I didn't want a PATH path either ;) ) and maybe it has a slightly better performance, but not much. EDIT2: as a side note, I know that the performance drop is not by yt-dlp, nor this build, but the damn YouTube JS and the JS engine, but... just ranting.

in the past we either where called dump, its just not doing that, it would be found, its not a problem, you still can block it with a firewall (no windows has a firewall + software that can do anything at higher software levels - and its hardware supported so software dont have a chance (you dont see it when the hardware is doing that instead of the software)) it might be a good idea to come up with it now again after all these years: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RutDZMCjkMs and today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1eX_vvAlUc i think it was to shortsighted to always not understand that things like "there could be a pedophile, there could be a terrorist" is like we always said not the real thing that is intended - it is a gate-opener or a backdoor behind held open sure if you hang up a camera in everybody´s home - at some point you will find a pedophile and a terrorist but its not the main goal the main goal is that company´s get the private data - things like if you dont work enough - or what they can change in your life (gathering that info) (there such things already also in external things like a email-provider (gmx.net for example providers owners of workers insight in their mails)) after that a lawers apears that says something like "i know everything better then you, and we have the right to do so" or something like that - and then talks something about terms of use maybe eula (or whatsoever the names are) - if it dont stands there now - no problem we write it step by step a little closer with every terms of use upgrade - lawers provide the neccesary support, maybe influencers, maybe politicans but the big deal is that the word company is involved (what says us what this is really about) and i think here is the catch - company dont have the right what the police got - and never should for me thats the main thing (company) that needs to be removed - if something is even doing like that it has to be the police - and never a company ! never if the law is really against us there should be new laws being made that exactly write out the company of these things sometimes they also write something like "but amazon safes that data for the police" or "its property of amazon/company" its not its like a speech on a phone or a packet in a shipping station just because you have it you dont own it (a letter, a packet or spoken message are such examples) - period that needs a better clarification in the law itself - and if somebody is doing that only the police is allowed to - company has nothing to search here and the people that support things like that or mixing it together (like the amazon example) should be clearly identified what they really are - they are the company´s interests - and if a policeman/politician/whatever helps these people, they are helping them for a fraud/crime and so on... as zuckerberg diplomatic once said : facebook ends where the law ends... but by censoring speech (freedom of speech) zuckerberg is going against constitutional law - and zuckerberg/or facebook are not above the law in my opinion zuckerberg did exactly that by censoring certain (and legal spoken things) (so he said exactly that in hope that they dont get the trick - also the lawers could said this to him to say so) zuckerberg certainly dont have ""domiciliary rights" of facebook" to forbid the higher law - there domiciliary rights cant outnorm freedom of speech or legalize false law´s it dont necessary has to be freedom of speech that would include many other laws including the one to spy certain people, prohibits other company´s interests or stealing data ect. that´s why we need better law´s against company´s doing such things
