Greetings. Thanks. And all the best to You. Is exist examples (theoretically) for OpenSSL 3.0.5 & Cryptography 3.4.8 fails? They switch x509 certs works from internal OpenSSL routes to Rust one. OpenSSL still work fine. Cryptography 40.0.2 2023-04-18 (that use Rust 1.48) also works (at first sight) at virtual system. But in real XP it fail because of SSE2 lack. I can't compile Rust 1.48 without SSE2... Cryptography 41.0.0 2023-05-31 - fail even in virtual because of Rust 1.56. Sorry, i'm not creator. All honors belong to @Dibya - Python 3.7 for XP and @whenever (from www.prxbx.com) - ProxHTTPSProxyMII: Reloaded I just put it together. Best regards.

AIUI, that's the exact case ; Cryptograhy-41.0.0/Rust-1.56 doesn't work in Windows XP SP3, because it (probably) requires APIs/kernel functions not available under NT5.1 (due to Rust-1.56+ ); previous version, Cryptograhy-40.0.2/Rust-1.48, is the last one to work under XP SP3, but its official release requires the SSE2+ instructions set; since cmalex (re)compiles CPython itself and various Python modules from source (to make them compatible with his SSE-only older CPU), he can't produce the requested (updated) binaries on his current setup (he compiles stuff for) ...

"TikTok has been accused of aggressive data harvesting." "The warnings follow a report by Australian-US cybersecurity firm Internet 2.0, which found the most popular social media app of the year collects “excessive” amounts of information from its users." https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/jul/19/tiktok-has-been-accused-of-aggressive-data-harvesting-is-your-information-at-risk https://internet2-0.com/its-their-word-against-their-source-code-new-report-on-tiktok/

What "free-speech" can be given for the developers of software that wear foreign, hostile nation uniforms? Be it Russian KGB Kaspersky, be it China military TikTok, India will do just fine without someone deciding for them, they know better how to protect themselves. I never insulted you, not a single time. You, on the other hand, insulted me many times, and it was based on my nationality/country/lifestyle. According to you, It's OK to insult the French, but very "racist" to not use your Russia software you shove down our throats. Here we see your usual double standards. But when people point out them to you, you feel "insulted". I returned from holidays, I expected they calmed you down a bit, but no! It's the same old you, on your usual old track, with the same provocative behaviour! In my opinion, you're very toxic for this forum. Nevertheless, I'm still waiting you ask me for forgiveness. The collection of screenshots/posts with your racial slurs and insults are at your disposal anytime. I understand it might be in your job description, but * neither MSFN is the place for scaring Western citizens, nor is the place for discussing wars. Please stop.

I can't believe there hasn't been way louder noise on this. Great Progress!

Hello, recently I started working on modifying DWM to customize Windows to my tastes, and this is what I've managed to get so far: I implemented all of this using Windhawk, but I might eventually move it all into its own program. The code is definitely not ready for release (buggy), plus it's still missing a few things that I'd like for an initial release. The blur implementation is also not the best, and I'd rather do it in a way closer to BigMuscle's, since this is based on Valinet's method, which considering was just quickly created to prove that blur is possible in 2004+, has its fair share issues. This can be seen as a proof of concept in a way, maybe a tech demo. For the buttons, I decided to rewrite both the functions that handle their positions and sizes in DWM, which gives me full control over the implementation. For example, I can modify this mod to make the buttons look the way they do in the Basic theme, Luna theme, even Classic theme, theoretically, all in DWM, meaning that there should be no compatibility issues with applications. You may have also noticed that the text is missing from the titlebars. That's due to the fact that in Windows 8.1 and 10, the titlebar text is rendered using GDI, and I'm still not sure how to make the background transparent (I've tried using SetBkMode but it didn't seem to do anything). I'll probably end up trying to render the text the same way Windows 7 does, as that's the OS whose look I'm trying to match. As for a release, I'm not sure when this will be ready. Could be this year, could be next year, it really depends on how much time I have on my hands, especially considering the project's current primitive state.

One interesting area - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unofficial_patch Moderators here might be more afraid of Microsoft.

I cannot and will not disagree with that.

I think that cmalex specifically asked for such examples : The last not working site I can remember at the moment was https://onlyfans.com/. And there were definitely more in the past, of course. However, I didn't log them.

Just to be as correct as possible the quoted above is what I said. In general, the rule "the more recent the better" does not always apply, of course.. Otherwise, I would certainly no longer have a 23-year-old computer. Anyway! Thanks for your clarification! Thanks! Wishes are always a good thing.

... Thanks, I guess ; what you didn't include in your OP is the fact the app is a payware, with a "free" 30d trial ...

Why didn't you used the option of ImportExportBookmarks?

The reason I suggested to use CRT's iconsize attribute setting to large icons was that it might fix problems with other extensions in terms of correct toolbar icon sizes, too. In such cases, there would be no need to modify the affected extensions. The Photonic theme is unfortunately buggy. Therefore, you have to do a lot of trickery to correct any display errors of pop-up windows or anything else, as they do not actually occur when using the default theme. Actually, these extensions are working properly for themselves. I fear the truncated pop-up window of IP Geolocator can't be fixed easily. Using the Photonic theme, changes in IP Geolocator's file main.css are not really taken into account. Many settings are simply overwritten by this theme. I already tested that. I believe a proper fix can only be done to the Photonic theme by the author. Inside its xpi file, there are tons of css files. Trial and error would be a never-ending story. And TBH, I personally haven't used any themes at all for a long time, neither in New Moon nor in Serpent. Themes cause very often display errors sooner or later. At least, that's how it was for me.

And if we are being "truly fair", to anybody that is "concerned" with CVE reports - "why are you on Win7 then?" Shouldn't the "sky be falling" with all of the CVEs reported for Win7? Afterall, "Windows 7" has 1,412 CVE reports to "Windows 10" having "fewer" at 1,195 and to "Windows 11" having "only" 81. Heck, "Windows XP" only has 656. NONE of these stop MSFN Members from using Win7 or XP. Or Vista with their 737 CVE reports. I am not "for" or "against" Kaspersky! But come on, let's be a bit more "fair and unbiased" in our discussions. Our "whole universe" should NOT revolve around a CVE report from 2019. There are ways to REMOVE the "unique Product ID" if you guys truly WANTED to, but the reality is that you'd rather "talk it down" as opposed to seeking/discussing SOLUTIONS.

Why would those, who don't have free-speech at home, be given free-speech at the international arena? More of a rhetorical question.

Use the export and import feature of the certificate manager! You can delete all corrupted certificates, export them in a working system and then import them in your system to be repaired.

Hello @WSC4! Alternatively, you can check my article ProxHTTPSProxy and HTTPSProxy in Windows XP for future use under the section 5.2. There you can find everything important about Root Certificates. And under the section 11.2.4, you will find all downloads related to Root Certificates, including my most recent, self-created Root Certificate and Revoked Certificate Updaters for offline use.

We still have my favourite DAVE-H.

Maybe, you and I will be the new senior members from now on. Time moves on, as you know. A look in the mirror speaks a clear language, unfortunately.

My posts always contain smileys as you know. I am not superstitious.

You're right, better not to watch. Stay calm/safe and all the best.

I can literally feel it ... When I was younger, I was very often jinxed by nice girls or ladies.

Yep! I can remember very well. "Bewitched", it was a sitcom. In Germany, it was translated as "Verliebt in eine Hexe". Retranslated: "In love with a witch".

From what I had been told *a long time ago* from our local warlocks, to jinx someone is not actually means to cast a spell on him, it means to look at him with a warlock's eye, so-called "bad" eye. So it's not a spell. It's more like the first, simple stage. But if a warlock (witch) is powerful enough, it may go bad, like in his case. Look, he wrote "everytime"....

I totally agree! And, thanks again for your nice compliment, my friend!

Like I already wrote many times, you feel English better than me, of course ! As an example though, I don't think the OP would say something like "I had been damned or doomed." Doomed is more like it would mean the end for him. Like the total end. Hence "bad ending" in the dictionary. He would say more like "I had been cursed or jinxed." When one is jinxed or cursed it can be removed. In theory, of course.

What do you mean exactly by "they wanted my smartphone"? How is that supposed to work? Very strange.

Was quite useful up to 2010-11. I used it for dating and it was convenient. A couple of messages and off you go ! These days it's just tooooo much talk.

I am old school in some or maybe quite a few things. I only use social media when it's necessary. After switching on my smartphone, I'm actually already annoyed when WhatsApp reports: "You have 248 new messages". You don't really want to read 99% of them.

1 - We have no chance to check what would they do in the 40s, if they had phones. Tiktok and others are being heavily financed with the money of CCP ( Chinese Communist Party ). Facebook(instagram) with the russian money. It is written all over the internet and no secret. Mask with the Saudi money (his startup, at least). So no surprise at all. Lots of possibilities with that kind of money. Lots of influence. Can do whatever they want 'cause it's not hard earned and comes from tax money. 2 - You're edgy ? Lol, no. Hell, no.

Same here! There are posts one can't react by liking or upvoting due to its content. That would otherwise be completely misleading. As if one would take pleasure in the suffering of others or even agree with it.

One of my ideas was a loop using the command tasklist. Unfortunately, loops do have the disavantage of high processor load. That's correct! Alternatively, a monitoring of ProxHTTPSProxy.exe is possible if it exists (depends on the type of call), too.

Thanks for the explanation . The absence of DWM is a big downside , that's for sure . I don't know what I did , it was so many attempts and testing procedures (trying various drivers , reinstalling again and again , etc) , but somehow I've managed to switch to "cartoonishly moving mode" instead of tearing . I do not know how to name it properly . It's like when I move a folder , it draws a new one (where I place it) , while keeping the folder in the previous position intact . In this "mode" the games that I run in windowed mode ran without any tearing , still slow , but without tearing . And now it's gone (the "mode"), after reboot . And I do not know how to get it back . Funny.

Where did you see such config ? Anyway , I'm not familiar with modern laptops , sorry. And my notebook from 2013 already had PCI-e 2.0. On one of my desktops (where I test XP64 dual-boot with Vista) I can observe some games can easily reach and stay at 86% for some time on PCI-e 2.0 with Vista and GTX 980, but with XP64 it's like around 30% only. For my precise config just scroll back and replace GTX Titan with 980 . I still think that even if GPU-z detects PCI-e 2.0 with XP64 , it seems like Nvidia drivers just can't take any advantage of it on XP. Otherwise why would Nvidia CPL say "PCI-e" with XP and "PCI-e gen2.0" with Vista ?

Wolfenstein: The New Order has rather simple demands . The recommended graphics: AMD Radeon HD 6850 or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 with VRAM 1GB , so there's no way it can saturate PCI-e 3.0 or even 2.0. I'm guessing this is the reason it feels smooth on XP. OK , GPU-Z shows , but nVidia CPL not , why ? Seems quite strange , the same result with several different people on absolutely different hardware. Yet again , if I reboot to Vista the CPL will show the highest version of PCI-e. This is on the same drivers version . I've tested with almost all known drivers . By the way , 368.81 is the weakest among them , asdf2345 uses 347.25 for his XP and it's the wise choice , I would also recommend 347.09 and 344.60 for 900-series. But yet again , you've just confirmed my discoveries . XP is slower even with DX9 games. Why do I need this ? It's just out of curiosity , I've never used XP and decided to try it. I went from Windows 2000 to Vista in 2007 (skipped XP completely).

And about this "test" : these are the weaker cards , much weaker than GTX 980. So PCI 1.1 is enough in this case. GTX980 is like 80% faster than GTX680. Don't forget about the onboard VRAM . 8GB vs 2GB . See the screenshot by asdf2345. https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-980-vs-Nvidia-GTX-680/2576vs3148

It's with all DX9 games that I play (not just one) . Vista works fine with the same driver versions , XP64 has like 30-45% slower framerate. No wonder , 'cause it shows PCI-e 1.0 only...

I think you may want to try this one , looks promising . I've had quite a good experience with them in the past , they are well optimised . Says your card is supported : https://www.nvidia.com/content/apac/icafe/my/spec.html http://us.download.nvidia.com/Windows/iCafe/375.60/375.60-icafe-win7-64bit-international-whql-driver.exe

@Tonny52 , what the previous poster wrote is absolutely irrelevant . 1 - GTA V : You couldn't get such old drivers installed, 'cause they are too old for this card. So why he even mentioned about 36.x.x !? 2 - Cyberpunk 2077 (is this a mockery of some kind ? It's pretty obvious that the card is too weak for this) . 3 - "Having the latest one is necessary for playing modern titles" . No , it's not . See why . It's a well known thingy - developers from Eastern Europe love to force people to the newest drivers , like in this case . But what do we get in return ? Cyberpunk 2077 is a buggy , totally unplayable game . So let them "update" their drivers and play themsleves their "games". 4 - I have a good example of a modern game with absolutely outstanding graphics - Iron Harvest. It runs on drivers from 2013 - 2014 without any bugs ! But these develepors are from Western Europe (Germany). Feel the difference . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Art_Games Some links to the sources: "Investors sue Cyberpunk 2077 developers because game is unplayable": https://www.msn.com/en-us/entertainment/gaming/investors-sue-cyberpunk-2077-developer-because-game-is-unplayable/ar-BB1cd85u You may try driver 382.33 , if you want smth newer - 416.34 , 418.81 are the best from the new , not good as the older ones , of course. (will be slower). Don't forget to remove telemetry before the installation with Nvidia slimmer . And use DDU to delete the previous drivers in SAFE mode . https://drivers.softpedia.com/get/GRAPHICS-BOARD/NVIDIA/NVIDIA-GeForce-Graphics-Driver-382-33.shtml

Hi , why do you need the latest driver ? Your card is like what , 5 y.o. ? It's a well known situation when Nvidia slows down the older gens in favour of the newer ones. I don't know if it's done on purpose or not , but for me it's a fact. I'm still running 344.xx from 2014 and there are no better drivers yet . I've tested almost all available. You'd better use something closer to the release date of you card or up to 1 year of it's production. Also , it's a fairytale about "newest" drivers and whatnot.

SetThreadErrorMode replace with SetErrorMode , this should do. DisplayConfigGetDeviceInfo = I'm afraid you're outta luck with this one , it's a tough uncle of a bleach , otherwise the game would definitely launch. Perhaps win32 will suggest something too.
