Hi. I would advise you to include the following software in the list: https://www.novirusthanks.org/products/osarmor/ Very good for your Security Setup. TH.

MKVToolnix announced that they were going to officially drop XP with version 9.x in 2015. Luckily, the next version v.10.0 was working on XP anyway. Today I decided to update it after a while and I found out that it wasn't working anymore. I took a look at the source code and luckily it didn't use anything weird and it was possible to compile every component targeting XP. As to the UI, this one was tricky. The mkvextractgui hasn't really been modified during the latest commits and relies on old calls, so it was easy to compile. As to to the mkvmergegui (mkvtoolnixgui), in the main branch it has been update to use functions available on Windows 7 only (not even Vista!). I was kinda curious to see what they did and they basically broke Vista and XP compatibility with the GUI to implement some "fancy" W7 loading bars and a few totally useless stuff. Anyway, I re-used the code from version 10.0 for the mkvmergegui ('cause it was XP compatible) and made it work with the new components and... guess what? It works. It's gonna complain about a "mismatch" between the GUI version and the components version as soon as you launch mkvtoolnixgui, but just ignore it and use the program 'cause it's working flawlessly. I just muxed a few .ts and .mp4 files into .mkv and it worked. I even extracted subtitles from a few .mkv files and it worked. Let me know if you find bugs and please note that this is an unofficial version, so DO NOT update via the GUI and DO NOT report bugs on the official MKVToolnix site, but only here. v25.0: REMOVED v26.0: REMOVED V27.0: REMOVED V28.0: REMOVED V29.0: https://mega.nz/#!GJcmUS6R!FvWCCGWxStx5_23MSSJ8l_PC0eJOPaGFaMRtN2XTZFM

So just replacing bitmap while keeping same layout is just boring. What about putting Beta boot screen into retail? cross post from betaarchive: I think I found the position that sets progress bar and scrolling bar: NTOSKRNL.EXE 5.0.2195.7376, CHT, 1,691,648 bytes File Date: Thursday, 18 February, 2010, 20:17:26 SHA256: 86356E3BB6DB3E873AE8C881358233F5CD142EC2CEDF34D7B007B427CE085394 .text:0041D14A loc_41D14A: ; CODE XREF: sub_41CFF6+14Aj .text:0041D14A push 1B5h .text:0041D14F push 112h .text:0041D154 call sub_41CDAC .text:0041D159 push offset loc_41D1F4 .text:0041D15E mov dword_476070, 1A0h .text:0041D168 mov dword_47606C, esi .text:0041D16E mov dword_476000, 280h .text:0041D178 mov dword_475F40, 0Ah .text:0041D182 call InbvInstallDisplayStringFilter Y = 0x1B5=437, X = 0x112=274 is progress bar starting location Y= dword_476070 = 0x1A0 = 416 X = dword_47606C = esi = 0 W = dword_476000 = 0x280 = 640 H = dword_475F40 = 0x0A = 10 is scrolling bar location. but there is difficulty on setting dword_47606C, since "mov dword_47606C, esi" is 4-bytes shorter than others. -- so hacking around it is working!
