@Asp There is a 4GB PAE patch bundled with the optional patch integrator script, it's not integrated by default though, so run the script if you want it integrated.

Can you try: --extractor-args youtube:lang=en ? [Edit] Ignore that. That is for the title, not for the audio. Maybe first get the formats using `yt-dlp -F URL`. Then choose for example this to get this mr. Beast video dubbed in Russian: yt-dlp -f 136+140-1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhB3BgJyGl8 Or: yt-dlp -f "bv*+ba[language=ru]" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhB3BgJyGl8

@Ascii2 I make big tests: using Macrium Reflect clone OS to other HDD - still problem replace RAM modules - still problem use only 2GB RAM 1+1 - still problem using Macrium Reflect make disk image, then restore on other PC - Haswell 8GB RAM (4+4 Dual Channel), OS boot, find new devices, I install drivers. I test and it looks like there is no problem and WinXPPAE 3.5 works well :-) I use exactly same patched files and settings: ntkrnl2.exe SP2 5.1.2600.2180 + hal2.dll SP3 5.1.2600.5512, noexecute=optin I have to use the system for some time to make sure 100% that there is no problem. It seems that the problem is only on SandyBridge machines.

I am not doubting that you have been able to the a PAE kernel to load. The /PAE switch appears to modify the bootloader configuration behavior towards selection to PAE, but does not override explicitly specification the kernel and HAL. Yes, there are various criteria that is evaluated to determine what the bootloader would load, but the criteria should not usually override explicit and compatible specification. With regards to your sources for the DEP default handling behavior, it is my impression that the evaluation mechanism is against hardware provided DEP (which is often an option on BIOS that is reasonably configurable). Where hardware DEP is detectable by the bootloader (perhaps because BIOS has the feature disabled), I do not believe the bootloader selection behavior would necessarily tend towards selection of a PAE kernel. I have never tested that, however. With regards to Windows XP with Service Pack 2 HAL updates, I have compiled a list of fixes that I think should be useful to you: For Windows XP Professioal with Service Pack 2 Install in ascending order: HAL updates (all in ascending order): KB889673 - A hardware DEP-enabled computer may stop responding when you resume from standby or from hibernation in Windows XP Service Pack 2 KB896256 - Computers that are running Windows XP Service Pack 2 and that are equipped with multiple processors that support processor power management features may experience decreased performance KB938826 - A Windows XP-based multiprocessor computer does not restart automatically after a memory dump operation KB951126 - A multiprocessor computer that is running Windows XP stops responding on a black screen after you resume the computer from hibernation KB954434 - A multiprocessor computer that is running a Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, or Windows Vista stops responding on a black screen after you resume the computer from hibernation KB958244 - The system may stop responding when you restart a Windows XP-based multicore computer Only need, to fully update: KB889673 - A hardware DEP-enabled computer may stop responding when you resume from standby or from hibernation in Windows XP Service Pack 2 KB938826 - A Windows XP-based multiprocessor computer does not restart automatically after a memory dump operation KB954434 - A multiprocessor computer that is running a Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, or Windows Vista stops responding on a black screen after you resume the computer from hibernation KB958244 - The system may stop responding when you restart a Windows XP-based multicore computer Other Fixes of interest despite not being HAL: KB952117 - When you try to put a Windows XP-based computer into hibernation or into standby, the computer stops responding

Some of the XP x64 App Addons aren't on the MediaFire

No. /PAE switch load Ntkrnlpa.exe I use only like this and PAE works: /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /kernel=ntkrnl2.exe /hal=hal2.dll Enabling PAE Windows automatically enables PAE if DEP is enabled on a computer that supports hardware-enabled DEP The PAE kernel can be enabled automatically without the /PAE switch present in the boot entry if the system has DEP enabled (/NOEXECUTE switch is present) or the system processor supports hardware-enforced DEP. Presence of the /NOEXECUTE switch on a system with a processor that supports hardware-enforced DEP implies the /PAE switch. If the system processor is capable of hardware-enforced DEP and the /NOEXECUTE switch is not present in the boot entry, Windows assumes /NOEXECUTE=optin by default and enables PAE mode. You need use /NOPAE because default (optin) is enabled: https://web.archive.org/web/20060313135704/http://support.microsoft.com/kb/900524/

If you take the Anubis explanation (posted above by @VistaLover ) at its word, it seems to make sense. The idea is to make the user agent (browser or bot) do something rather hard, but not too hard; the idea being if you're just an ordinary user, the extra work is just a short delay in getting to the Web page; but if you're a bot crawling millions of pages, that extra work isn't worth the effort so you'll just abort the script after a few milliseconds and move on. But, then - why insist on "modern" Javascript and why force users to disable their privacy guards? I'm still somewhat skeptical that Anubis was telling us the whole story above.

Ok, i have tried another approach meanwhile, there some guide how to install Windows 2000 on Intel Sandy Bridge and later: I have managed to install Windows 2000 with standard PC mode - without ACPI meanwhile by switching bios to ATA mode and press F5 and integrating UniATA driver. I have tried to create CD by this tutorial, but its still stuck on Windows 2000 setup loading, unless i press F5/F7 and select Standard pc mode, but tutorials has 12 steps (it would be really nice to make utility to make it more effortless ), to i could do something wrong.. I used BlackWingCat AHCI drivers too . There is also known problem with usbhub20.sys, which has to be manually delete to setup to progress, i did not found solution for it (i mean from install cd fix point of view). Im not sure about point 12, its still needed to replace acpi.sys even when patched version it is integrated on install cd, or its mean as upgraded for already installed machine in not acpi mode.. In case of XP, changing from not ACPI to ACPI usually meant to mess with different hal.dll and kernel.dll files. Question is if i can install Windows 2000 in ATA mode, install AHCI driver in advance, switch bios to AHCI mode and be able to boot in AHCI mode after. I selected different version of Windows 2000 than original one, so i have now 2 versions able to boot on the same partitions and i can play with both installation. I wanted to test, if installation would be repair by reinstallings, its not.. not in case, when original install is using Windows folder and new one WinNT, it seem to be hardcoded in nlite mods. What is good machine is now booting in ATA mode, to Windows 2000 bootloader, but i can fix it later..

OK,, sorry about that. At least that explains why there hasn't been much discussion of this here since it seems otherwise on topic.

I don't really care about it personally. I have to deal with it here and the other thing I mentioned but MSFN is based in Europe so we have to follow those rules. If MSFN wasn't an official fallback location that line wouldn't be there. It is only because MSFN has many EU members that I mention it. It seems standard practice that US sites don't care about those things, even if the forum software supports it.

What do they mean by apps? Are they only referring to stuff that comes from the Store and not traditional executable programs?

What is rather apparent is that you are using the initial kernel and HAL releases, where compatible with the daniel_k HAL/NTKernel v3.5 patcher. Especially for Windows XP with Service Pack 2, it is important to use newer HALs than were initially released for newer hardware during that time period (which would now be considered older hardware). The systems could have rather annoying bugs otherwise. Your computer, given the hardware, is such a case. A newer kernel would be better, unless there is an important reason that you must stay with the older version. HAL updates were only distrusted as (downloadable) hotfixes; whereas, kernel updates were both in regular updates and hotfixes. With regards to not having to use the /PAE switch because "noexecute=optin is enough". That is not correct. The reason why you might find that the /PAE switch need not be specified for PAE in your case is because you are explicitly specifying and overriding the kernel and HAL to use ("/kernel=" and "/hal=") rather than relying on the otherwise default (potentially "/PAE"-influanced) selection. (See https://web.archive.org/web/20061224201614/http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/information/bootini.mspx for a reference on the various arguments you may use in boot.ini.) You also still have not specified the variants/flavors of the kernels and HALs used. Make sure that you have correctly matched the HAL and kernel.

So, Microsoft extended Office 365 Feature Updates for Windows 10 till August 2026. Version 2608/2609 will be the last one and will continue to be supported with Security Updates until October 2028 "Also important: Microsoft 365 apps running on personal and business Windows 10 PCs will continue to receive security updates until October 10, 2028, and feature updates until August 2026."

Can you download videos that are in another language but have an alternate audio stream in English? Sometimes Youtoube shows a title in English, I download the video for later viewing and I find that I can't understand anything.

something like this

This discussion is off-topic here. Please start a new thread about this issue. Thanks.

Oh, time to update then. Thanks for the heads up.

My-my, someone indeed has a strong disdain towards GDPR.

Then I deleted the Supermium wrapper NdDll, and without it I now see NO missing dependencies, but no start nevertheless.

Then I saw an old advice from D.Draker and replaced it with just NtOpenKey. Now I get this.

This is a preparatory stage for the introduction of personal identifiers on the network. Do you remember the Microsoft passport that they wanted to introduce back in 2003? They are psychologically preparing the herd (as they perceive people) to avoid mass discontent. I don't believe in kind-hearted individuals who want to make the internet free for nothing. These individuals are either bought off and remain silent, or they divert the masses towards imaginary threats (such as UFOs), concealing real threats in the noise. For example, such a nuisance suddenly appeared on the last remaining Invidious sites a couple of months ago, and serpent can't pass this test, and I don't want to enable workers or scripts. Previously, these sites could be used without scripts. After introducing such a nuisance, there's no point in maintaining privacy. Alternatively, the owners of the last Invidious sites may have decided to earn extra money by collecting unique browser fingerprints using these protection measures against the dreaded pseudo-AI, which are highly interested in Invidious sites.

I used kernel33 from extended kernel and advapi32, ole32, shell32, user32 wrappers from Supermium 132. As you can see, for example, ublock works. I didn't need a platform upgrade or an extended kernel installation for this

Cool. I had a very old ISO I was using, time to upgrade. Will give it a try as a VM anyway. Do you know if this has the mods to allow use of more than 4GB RAM, if not as RAM, then as RAMdisk, for pagefile?
