Do you happen to have a space character in your Windows user name? The new installer seems to dislike spaces. Does it work if you create a new temporary admin user without any spaces in the user name? It looks like when there's a space in the user name, the installer changes the owner of the target system files to the current user but isn't able to grant permissions, so renaming to .bak fails. The installer is able to grant the current user full control when there is no space in the name (it looks like via icacls.exe - so might be an issue with missing quotation marks?)

Haha, good to know ! Enjoy

Thank you so much!!! This is working! Great, that's the method there. But it is very characteristic of Microsoft, that technically everything works, but you first have to be smart enough to figure out how to make the function usable becouse they dont want you to use it.

Yes I do still enjoy using XP thanks! So it sounds like there's no point in me installing your HD audio driver patch as the files I have are the same already anyway, but I will try just substituting the newer portcls.sys file though just to see if it works and makes any difference to anything. Acpi.sys was just substituted with the latest modified version and made a huge difference. I will certainly keep a copy of your new version of KB888111 in case I ever have to completely reinstall XP. Cheers, Dave.

In the need of a person with Python programming skills! We need a person with Python programming skills to implement TLS 1.3 and its ciphers to the latest version REV3e of ProxHTTPSProxy. Three ciphers associated with TLS 1.3 have to be added to existing package of REV3e. Its OpenSSL version 1.1.1d already supports TLS 1.3. To assess whether such a project can be realized, the source code can be viewed first, of course. This is the download link of ProxHTTPSProxy REV3e's source code: https://www.mediafire.com/file/s9027bdxffodbna/cryptography-2.8-py3.4_openssl-1.1.1d.rar/file. All information about ProxHTTPSProxy can be found in the first post of this thread: Any ideas or suggestions are welcome! If there is such a person, I'll be pleased to get your opinion whether such a project is possible or not. I personally cannot estimate the scope and the effort required for such a project, since I unfortunately do not have any knowledge in the Python programming language. That's the reason for this call. The goal is to get a proxy with the most recent protocol and its ciphers in Windows XP and to future-proof this OS. Thanks in advance! Kind regards, AstroSkipper

Hello, Option "Icon size", put S ;)

I think the short answer to your question is because we're enthusiasts, and because we can! (Oh, and we don't like being told by the likes of Microsoft that we can't do something!)

@George King here, psuedocode will need reworking to be functional though.
