the landing of #2083 in upstream causes some crashes to me, I'm trying to partly reverting it to see if crash will go away.

both are possible, but I think they didn't test that PR letting it to run for a longer time and browsing more sites and pages. (since I don't have a way to 100% reproducing the crash in JitCodeTables destructor je_free() here)

I have them. See below and bookmark this post, so that you can always see them when logged in. [Edit] The link to yt-dlp doesn't change any more. It is hosted on GitHub for quite some time now.

The other way around actually, they work but won't install as the installer became XP incompatible. 8u152 is the last with a working installer as you say, but versions up to 8u241 do work on XP if you do a rather tedious manual install process. 8u251 contains one XP incompatible file (sunmscapi.dll) which has to be replaced with the version from 8u241, but otherwise works. After 8u251 the file incompatibilities got so much worse it wasn't worth the trouble of trying to get it to work anymore!

Why ? Have something to hide ? Yes , support forum and I provided with fully working instructions, yet you started to imply the're somewhat bad . Why ? "...roots updater goes up to late 2016: Let's Encrypt sites might be broken still (i.e. about half the web) due to the DST Root X3 expiring in September 2021" That's simply not true.

It's here: https://www.catsxp.com/history?more=1 Just scroll down to the bottom and click on "v0.8.1", then scroll down and click on "v0.6.3".

... Well, those builds use a CPython 3.7.1 version "hacked"/patched to work specifically on WinXP, ONLY (whereas official CPython 3.7.x, by the PSF, requires WinVista as minimum [client] WinOS) ... The PSF EoS'ed WinXP SP3 with the CPython 3.4.x branch; this patched py3.7 compilation borrows modified "system-like" files from either Wine/ReactOS/OneCore API (not sure exactly which ) projects (files bcrypt.dll, kernelXP.dll, ntext.dll, psapi.dll, ws2_xx.dll), which specifically target NT 5.1 and aim to backport missing functions from NT 6.0 (where py3.7 runs natively ) . It's the same (type of) CPython 3.7.x "hack" that is incorporated into the latest ProxHTTPSProxy versions (maintained/released by MSFN member AstroSkipper); this nice project runs successfully ONLY under Windows XP; for Vista [and higher, though Win7 updated to EoS shouldn't need ProxHTTPSProxy ], the embedded Python has to, somehow, be switched to one of the official py3.7 releases...

This isnt it, i think his post mightve been deleted from the server breakdown that happened before. It could still be there but i couldnt be bothered to go digging for it.

@un user Here is the XP SP3 acpi.sys version with OS fakes from 21 December. This is the one that Ramsey uses with its *.pdb. Without OS fakes I can do later, I need to save the files in whole folder Acpi with all new entries before I can do this Dietmar https://ufile.io/hfxc70iv

@XPerceniol How are you going? You haven't posted since 2 days. I hope all is well with you, and that you're.

WinNTSetup 5.3 Beta 7 - workaround windows 7 Dism /add-driver bug 30 (AMD, NVIDIA drivers with LZSS compression) - workaround EFI NTFS driver bug - fixed capture problem with OneDrive On-Demand files - added combobox script selection to diskpart window - added -diskpart command line switch to bring up diskpart window - added WIM_MSG_ERROR and WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_HANDLE_ERROR Messagebox choice

I have changed the link in my signature to the Python 3.8 version now.

The linked version on dropboxusercontent works for me and is fast again. I have YouTube-DL integrated into New Moon, which I use from both WinXP and Win2008, so I like that it works in both.

For your Windows NT6 you could also use one of the official builds listed there. ("yt-dlp_x86_Windows-XP.zip" is the only one manually uploaded after GitHub's build process)

"Be grateful."... I'm grateful... Thank you!

No idea. I'm not a programmer. But there is good news. The last couple of weeks I'm testing another build of yt-dlp, compiled with a modified Python 3.8. Just tested on Windows 7 and no error: [debug] Command-line config: ['-vU'] [debug] Encodings: locale cp1252, fs utf-8, pref cp1252, out cp1252 (No VT), error cp1252 (No VT), screen cp1252 (No VT) [debug] yt-dlp version 2023.02.01 [8b008d625] (win_x86_exe) [debug] Python 3.8.13+ (CPython AMD64 32bit) - Windows-7-6.1.7601-SP1 (OpenSSL 3.1.0-dev ) [debug] exe versions: ffmpeg N-109674-gc0bc804e5-2023-01-26-nonfree (fdk,setts), ffprobe N-109674-gc0bc804e5-2023-01-26-nonfree [debug] Optional libraries: Cryptodome-3.16.0, brotli-1.0.9, certifi-2022.12.07, mutagen-1.46.0, sqlite3-2.6.0 [debug] Proxy map: {} [debug] Loaded 1761 extractors [debug] Fetching release info: https://api.github.com/repos/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/latest Latest version: 2023.01.06, Current version: 2023.02.01 yt-dlp is up to date (2023.02.01) Worked on Vista and Windows 10 as well. Could you please test? https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/0b0r4vbdu70njyz/yt-dlp.7z. It's also listed on my yt-dlp GitHub fork page under Releases. (click on "Show all 19 assets") When using the New Moon browser, you need the Palefill extension to navigate GitHub.

Fixed in [jsinterp] Support if statement thanks to @VistaLover's observation. Link in my sig already has the fix (for yt-dlp).

Windows 2000 does not support WIA, scanner but TWAIN one.

Let's familiarize ourselves with rule 2.b, no political discussions please. Not everyone is going to agree with your beliefs, we do not want that sort of drama here. Thank you!

Thank you. Looks like they need to update youtube-DL because it works slowly again. "Unable to decode n-parameter"

Probably most Chromium browsers are linked against static Visual C++ runtime, so it doesn't matter whether Visual C++ Redist is installed or not, the runtime code is in the compiled binaries. No .NET components either. Don't quote me on this either, but I think you can only emulate such hardware. "Using it for real" would mean host OS would have to give it up. Possible AFAIK, but then VirtualBox would work differently and would be overall different experience. But most of these are available in up to 1080p resolution, you should get the same results in all of them at one common resolution (select it explicitly!), so 720p or lower.

I assume you are talking about @nicolaasjan's signature. He has them.

As far as I can see, the number of dropped frames only depends on the recording quality of the video... I have found some videos with (almost!) no dropped frames, starting with 0 dropped frames from 2000/5000... see for yourself these 3 videos:

Requires Win7 x64. Sends data to x.ss2.us and packages.axiacoin.com. "Axia Member Center" seems a bit untrustworthy, though I have no real "proof". Not a fan of built-in VPN's (too many folks "abuse" them!) Based on Chromium v107.

Is there a windows 2000 driver for a HP Envy 5530? I'm mainly just wanting to be able to use it's scanner on windows 2000.

Hello I'm doing huge updates and corrections on server and site software in the last 10 hours. Still working on it. Please be patient. Thank you

I'm Draker . Please be respectful when you address MSFN members. Call them by their (nick)names . It's not hard to remember. British accent is actually a good thing . I mean proper British accent , not fake.

I'm terribly sorry if asking a person to read again means hostility for you. What "drama" are you talking about ? Yep , we both updated the certs that way , but no drama had happened during the update. xD . Who are you , lol ?

Duh !? That's why I wrote he needs to insert the new certs he downloads directly from MS. Did you read what I wrote ? Well , try again (reading out loud with a thick British accent might help). This method proved to be fully working by many MSFN members.

Debian still builds Firefox-ESR without the SSE2 requirement for i686, and I can confirm it works just fine on my Athlon XP 3000+. As for chromium, I have no idea.

I disagree with this one. I got athlon64 that lacks sse3 but does very decently as guest pc with windows 7. Modern sites produce no issues with it (expect new youtube layout). Some peoples even use win95 today and I see no problem on that.

95% of the websites will still work with another browser, or the older version of Chrome. Of course the big websites are the incompatible ones. But anyways, they've grown too much to be useable on such old hardware. I'm always surprised how well this bulky Pentium 3 of 2001 performs online, although the single-core is bad at doing things simultaneosly. The hardware without SSE3 deserves respect! The Pale Moon forks might jump in the place of the best option for older processors. Just as they are now for Windows XP and NoSSE-Processors, like a Celeron from 1998. Pale Moon also has it's own browser engine.

It's sad to see legacy support dropped yet again for legacy hardware. Although I agree PC's older than 2005 are pretty slow, cutting them off will make it hard for those who can't afford new PCs...

No, those builds are only needed by computers that don’t even support SSE2, which is only a fraction of the remaining Windows XP diehards. I think browsers that support SSE2 will be around for a long time - they just won’t be based on the latest Chromium.

A counterargument to that is there are many poorer countries like China and India where the people simply can't afford newer boxes. They're going to use what they got regardless and so it does everyone a great service to at least provide them with a working browser with some security protections. Now I get that browser developers can't do this forever but Goggle has the money, although they do what they feel like because they have the power. This is where Roytam and others deserve a good deal of credit for keeping the older versions of Firefox patched and up to date as best they can since for these users it's better than nothing. And the side benefit is that the rest of us get to keep using them as well.

I'm reading that Epson Laser Color is Windows 2000 compatible in 2020. Or so it seemed to me since it has been a mirage that I cannot understand. Since if we enter today on the official Epson website there are only laser printers before 2009 https://epson.com/Support/Printers/sh/s1 Then looking elsewhere I have seen this one that is from the year 2012. Epson Aculaser C9300N - DIN A3 only 1560 euros ;-) https://www.directindustry.es/prod/epson-europe/product-32942-1128431.html It seems that it is difficult to find the Good, Pretty and Cheap model, you have to look at them one by one. Other brands: Brother => They don't give drivers for 2000-XP in 2020 Canon => They do give drivers for Windows XP in 2020, for some models. HP=> Latest Driver Package for XPe is HP Universal Print Driver Add-on 4.7.0.4 REV-A2 for XPe - sp42764 (year?) Not for 2000-XP in 2020 But I have tried to download 2 drivers for Windows Seven and these have been installed perfectly in Windows XP (I have not tested if the printers work). ------ HP Color Laser MFP 178nw ------ HP_Color_Laser_MFP_178_179_Full_Software_and_Drivers_1.14.exe ------ HP M254dw Laser Jet Pro ------ HP_LaserJet_M252_PCL6_Legacy_Print_Driver_15309.exe Konica Minolta => I only see that they offer a universal driver for sale by contacting by form https://www.konicaminolta.eu/eu-en/software/connectivity/universal-print-driver In their models I only see industrial machines Kyocera => No offer drivers for 2000-XP in 2020 Lexmark => They do not give for 2000-XP in 2020 (last drivers for XP in February 2017) Ricoh => They do not offer drivers for 2000-XP in 2020 Samsung => (drivers are provided by HP because HP purchased Samsung Printers Business) Not for 2000-XP in 2020 Xerox => They have drivers for Windows XP in 2020, on some models. Note: Models not available for Windows XP seem to work with the Xerox Universal Drivers for Windows Seven on Windows XP (at least they install perfectly). For example the offered for Xerox Phaser 6510. I am very happy with my HP Laserjet 1018 monochrome printer. I found it in the trash in my neighborhood 5 years ago and it is perfect. No problem, print many sheets at a very low price. Now I was looking to buy a color laser printer, but after what I'm reading, I fell back. It is too large and has little use as well as poor print quality. Especially it is difficult to choose a model online with compatible drivers. Almost better I hope to find it in the trash :-) Edit: I read that Epson is committed to its EcoTank inkjet technology from 2014, ruling out laser printers. In any case, the latest laser models that were put on the market do not come on its website, only the ones prior to 2009 come. It seems that the explanation is that domestic laser printers only exist until 2009. On the Epson Europe page I have found an updated range of professional laser printers compatible with Windows 2000. Its performance is from 50,000 pages per month and its price is monochrome from 120 euros and color from 1660 euros. https://www.epson.eu/products/printers/ In addition I have found that the range of auto-fed scanners is also compatible with Windows 2000. Its performance is from 65 ppm and its price I have not seen less than 800 euros. https://www.epson.eu/products I am glad that Seiko Epson is still compatible with Windows 2000, it is a fact that gives a lot of value to the brand. I complain that all the websites of any manufacturer are becoming more complicated every day, with videos and tutorials without practical use and without schematic comparative information that allows a quick purchase. Today it is very difficult to buy! Furthermore, Epson professional laser printers are only found in Europe and Oceania. Ameria and Asia => Inkjet only. Professional laser printers are not offered on Epson America and Epson Asia websites. Only inkjet are offered. www.epson.com www.epson.jp Europe and Oceania => Laser and inkjet. The series offered in Europe are: Monochrome: -WorkForce AL-M320xx -WorkForce AL-M400xx Color: -Aculaser C-9300xxxx It seems that professional Epson laser printers are only offered in Europe and oceania. www.epson.eu www.epson.es www.epson.com.au www.epson.co.nz

The state of play, I believe, is: We have ProxHTTPSProxyMII 1.5 working with Cryptography 2.4.2, which runs even under Python 3.4. For now, this works well. But TLS continues to evolve, so to avoid eventual obsolescence we'd like to get ProxHTTPSProxyMII working with newer Cryptography versions. This required a newer version of Python, so we've got Python 3.7.1 working on XP; but more is required as well (at least a user-written version of bcrypt.dll to substitute for the Win 7 module, but apparently even more than that). The problem is, once you move beyond Python 3.4, developers assume you're running on a newer Windows version, so all packages developed for newer Python versions may also use newer Windows functions. It may not be practical to go much further.
