@athlonxpuser : No doubt you either messed up while editing the manifest.json file or, perhaps, when repackaging back to XPI... : FWIW, you can use the following manifest.json : { "name": "YouTube Redux", "version": "2.0.3.1-unsigned", "description": "Bring back old YouTube layout styles and features within the Polymer (modern) layout!", "permissions": ["activeTab"], "browser_action": { "default_popup": "popup.html", "default_icon": { "16": "images/16.png", "32": "images/32.png", "48": "images/48.png", "128": "images/128.png" } }, "icons": { "16": "images/16.png", "32": "images/32.png", "48": "images/48.png", "128": "images/128.png" }, "content_scripts": [ { "matches": ["*://*.youtube.com/*"], "exclude_matches": ["*://*.youtube.com/embed/*"], "css": ["styles.css"], "run_at": "document_start" }, { "matches": ["*://*.youtube.com/*"], "exclude_matches": ["*://*.youtube.com/embed/*"], "js": ["initial-setup.js"], "run_at": "document_start" }, { "matches": ["*://*.youtube.com/*"], "exclude_matches": ["*://*.youtube.com/embed/*"], "js": ["main.js"] } ], "web_accessible_resources": [ "images/classicLogo.png", "images/classicLogoDark.png", "images/sub-icon.png", "images/favicon1.ico", "images/favicon2.png", "images/favicon3.ico", "images/verified1.png", "images/verified2.png", "images/plus.svg" ], "manifest_version": 2, "applications": { "gecko": { "id": "YouTubeRedux@omnidev0", "strict_min_version": "52.0" } } } Disclaimer: I haven't checked whether the extension works as advertised, only the "installing" part of it is addressed here...

Where has Microsoft said that they are going to stop supporting this crap? All they are interested is money because most leading companies still use Microsoft....why should they stop supporting it?

Assuming you have SP2 and Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.256, it sounds like an old familiar issue is back!? (But Windows Update isn’t supposed to work anymore!?) Set Windows Update to “Never check for updates,” click OK and restart. Then manually install KB4015195, KB4015380, KB4012583 and KB3205638 either from Microsoft Update Catalog or greenhillmaniac’s repository. There is a YouTube video by WinClient5270 with download links in the description: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtGYgxfpkeg (Minor detail: If IE9 is already installed, I would nowadays suggest KB4507434 rather than the older patch mentioned in the video.) Act fast because M$ may shut it down again, and let’s try not to turn this into a “How to Update Vista” thread please. Edit: False alarm.

Nothing. It's irrelevant, except for paranoia mongering, of course!

- Windows NT 5.x family windowsupdate.com links for available languages, including all (any?) Custom Support Updates - The updates links are grouped for each build, slightly sorted, and ordered lexicographically per update number or file name as possible - Superseded (replaced) updates are not filtered or excluded - The dump is available as csv files containing updates name and url, or plain text files containing updates url - It's recommended to use CSVFileView to check the csv files https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/csv_file_view.html - You can filter or extract updates for certain language using findstr (Vista or 7) e.g. findstr /i \-enu NT_5.2.3790-x64-Custom.csv > NT_5.2.3790-x64-Custom-enu.csv however, few update have different language identifier or none, so it's best to review the whole file first - NT_5.1.2600-x86-SP2-Custom and NT_5.1.2600-x86-SP2-Custom-IE are ment for the EOS Windows XP SP2 x86 only - NT5-ia64 is for Itanium-based Server 2003 / Windows XP - .NET Framework packs and updates for NT 5.1/5.2 are in a separate list files, likewise Windows Media Player and some eXtra updates # P.S. Maybe it's best not to post the links explicitly in the forum replies or text sites (pastebin, txtuploader..), and share them in the txt/csv files # Download https://gitlab.com/stdout12/adns/uploads/9ca06a12dd08c06edd889e65afa637fa/NT5_WU_URLs_csv.7z https://gitlab.com/stdout12/adns/uploads/33fcfd0b0f6c1a0cb74472cb8407800d/NT5_WU_URLs_txt.7z

working Chromium v87 for windows xp (last official chrome is v49 for windows xp) it was tested more or less and dont seem to include a spyware or weird connections installer is in chinese III (N) is for Next II(B) for Browse (change folder) II(I) for Install (you only need those 3 for the installer) download links: http://designingonajuicycup.com/downloads/untested/ http://www.filedropper.com/minibrowsersetup1071 https://www.file-upload.net/download-14566263/MiniBrowserSetup_1071.exe.html https://easyupload.io/e3fdad https://transferxl.com/08M79dPPgqG1M https://file.io/wFhiH69x9vge https://filebin.net/jqbzrykgxjv8hl2r you can set any language options -> Settings -> Advanced -> Languages then click on "Language" then you should see "English (United States) in "Add languages" you can find your language v87 is newer then windows 7, 8.1, and windows 10 also it is newer then internet explorer 11 (IE11) that means that version of chromium is not to think away, then rather windows 8.1 , IE 11, (>WIN10 Redstone 5) would disapear even if all of that happens there still would be solutions to make that version of chromium work the market share is also speaking for chrome, chrome being the most used browser https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share

what is your thoughts on windows 10? talk about how good or how bad it is here!

mKEYB and XKEYB with three Portuguese choices.

In Windows ME, you need to use MSConfig to set up DOS keyboard, there's no keyb command on ME, read here: https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/6029-dos-program-in-windows-me-problem/ Check if Spear of Destiny works fine on 98SE.

... I doubt it; you wrote: so the extension would have no compatibility issues installing in a FxESR 52, WE supporting, derived fork ... I just added the "strict_min_version": "52.0" condition in the manifest to stress the fact it is targeting Serpent 52.9.0 ... JSON files (a subset of JS) are very "sensitive" to syntax errors; a missing/redundant opening/closing bracket (of all types), a missing/redundant comma, etc. is enough to render the file non-valid when parsed by the add-on manager's code... If in doubt, you'd better validate the edited file with specialised tools, e.g. https://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/# When I fed it "my" edited manifest.json, it returned "Valid (RFC 8259)"

Thank you, I just replaced the manifest.json with your modified version, it installed just fine and works as intended. I'm not sure why it didn't want to work with my version but maybe it still refused to install because I didn't include "strict_min_version".

I abandoned Windows 10 when 2020 has ended. I use Windows XP and Windows 7, and I'm thinking on switching to Linux when I would need to buy a computer.

confident (that corona will fly away)

Thank you; dencorso! Phew ... now I can breathe again. I mean.. last night I just curled up in the fetal position on my sofa crying with a 1/2 gallon tub of ice cream over this

Before the comments loaded without do anything at the bottom. I think (remembering) the"Comentarios" only show the numbers of comments, not clickable. Well, i will check with my laptop windows 10 to see if it's ok. Thanks.

The no ifs/no buts was in point #2 about replacing the SATA cable, not the disk/ssd (which is conditional in point #3). But there are no problems (normally) in cloning the disk to a new one or - better - making an image of it and then deploy the image to a new device, the result will be the old os/install running on a brand new device,no need to reinstalll, of course, unlike the SATA cables that has a trifling cost, the new device will have a cost. The fact that you have CHKDSK autorunning means that you are experiencing some kind of filesystem corruption that could be due to any of: 1) some bad RAM contacts 2) a bad (SATA) cable (again contacts) 3) a bad disk/ssd (for whatever reason, be it "weak" sectors on rotating media or bad cells on a SSD) 4) really bad RAM stick There is of course a 5th possibility, a virus, some other form of malware (but you already scanned your system with no such evidence) or even a driver that from time to time"goes astray". And - only for the record - a 6th one, which I didn't mention assuming that it was already excluded, that is thermal management (the processor, the graphic card and even the SSD or the RAM may overheat and create these semi-random issues). In these latter cases the CHKDSK running is not due to mass storage devices, but rather to the forced reboot after the BSOD (unclean shutdown). jaclaz

sorry, I'm not trying to mock you or anything, but have you heard of WINDOWS-AS-A-SERVICE? Windows 10 EOL only applies to windows 10 ltsb 2015.

In case anyone wants to download all the updates in the CSV file... I created a Python download script to bulk download those updates - tested on Python 3.9.2 but should also work for older Python 3 versions after installing the "requests" package ('pip install requests' shall suffice): One important note: You need to create the directories corresponding to each CSV file in "csv_files" using the following format (e.g. "NT_5.1.2600-x86-All_DL" for "NT_5.1.2600-x86-All.csv") before running the script. import csv import requests # Add/replace the filenames in csv_files below with the CSV files you want to download csv_files = ['NT_5.1.2600-x86-All.csv', 'NT_5.1.2600-x86-IE-All.csv', 'NT_5.2.3790-x64-All.csv', 'NT_5.2.3790-x64-IE.csv', 'NT_5.2.3790-x86-All.csv', 'NT_5.2.3790-x86-IE.csv'] for csvfile in csv_files: print(f'Starting file download for {csvfile}.') with open(csvfile) as csv_file: csv_reader = csv.reader(csv_file, delimiter=',') line_count = 0 for row in csv_reader: if line_count == 0: print(f'Column names are {", ".join(row)}') line_count += 1 else: print(f'\tDownloading {row[0]}...') url = row[1] r = requests.get(url) with open('./' + csvfile[:-4] + '_DL/' + row[0], 'wb') as f: f.write(r.content) print(f'\tCompleted with status code {r.status_code}.') line_count += 1 print(f'Processed {line_count} lines.') print(f'Download Completed.') Hope someone finds this useful. Personally, it took me ~13 hours to download all the updates for the 6 CSV files I put in my script above. Also, I found duplicates in 'NT_5.2.3790-x64-All.csv': kb2957503 turns up twice. Just as FYI since #lines in the CSV will not match with the number of files in the corresponding folder.
