1.5 years? I'm afraid not, and I have the same question.

This one works on XP. At least a bit earlier version I tried. This is a simple and easy to use tool. Paid, but has free proxies, also. From what I know, this software was made a Latvian guy. What struck me as weird, it checks the speed of the servers by connecting to Yadnex, so I don't know how deep the ties to the KGB/FSB/Russia are. The connection can be blocked. Also, you can change in the paid version. "Full support of Socks v5 and Elite servers". https://www.proxyswitcher.com/

1 - A figure of speech (maybe stolen from Microsoft, the creepy "we are checking your PC") 2 - I have zero problems admitting my mistakes, if there are such. Still no anwser about the ready paid official solutions, you just named the protocols they use. And some are quite questionable/dubious. Like this one: "... with a major downside, it doesn’t offer any encryption. That’s why it’s implemented..." www.websiterating.com/vpn/glossary/what-is-l2tp-ipsec/ 3 - But I guess the commercial VPN software you use is your secret and I'm absolutely fine with it ! And therefore, named or not - on-topic, which is the most important thing ! And isn't OpenVPN free ?

For us - yes. Sadly not for all.

Are you sure this is on topic, 'cause we aren't aware of any *XP-compatible* paid VPN solutions currently available for purchase. Please correct me, if I'm wrong.

Real modern VPN could be hard to configure properly for a beginner, aslo may have a conflict with your LAN or WiFi adapter. In the XP days we had nice and simple standalone programmes, like AntiTracks which gone off the radar somewhere in 2010 . It was so cool and had a real IP from Texas. Very fast . It was paid, of course.

tried every Export button in uBO in mailnews here but none of them produce such error here.

There is a request for this function, but no response from the developer yet: https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/328 To open links and bookmarks in a new tab, you need to click them with the middle mouse button. There is an extension that opens all links (not bookmarks) in a new tab: TabLink.

Another milestone release for yt-dlp (2024.03.10). Windows XP mod : https://github.com/nicolaasjan/yt-dlp/releases/latest/download/yt-dlp_x86_Windows-XP.zip

Of course, OpenVPN is opensource. But it's just a VPN client. You need configuration files *.ovpn which contain necessary data for connecting to a certain VPN server. Most commercial VPN provider offer configuration files to connect to their servers via OpenVPN protocol. And, a more recent, inofficial client compatible with Windows XP is available, too. The old ones don't work anymore in most cases.

You are right!

What do you mean by "we"? Who are you speaking for? If you wanted to ask that you are not aware of any *XP-compatible* paid VPN solutions currently available for purchase, then here is the answer of a Frisian. You are wrong, unfortunately. My main OS is Windows XP and I use paid VPN services with no log policy via L2TP/IPSec, OpenVPN and PPTP protocol for years. Therefore, I am on-topic, which seems to be rather a rarity here in this thread.

1 - Saying that "XP is outdated crap" is definitely ill-mannered and not welcome in the society of MSFN, where the most users are XP/vista, including the moderators. 2 - Yes, we are , also I'm sure you're Russian. Who else would be that rude ? The French were and are well-mannered and witty people. Thanks for the compliment . 3 - I don't own a "cat". EDIT: I'd gladly make you a compliment too, and your country/nationality is hidden. But let me guess, Russia ? *Surprise* - I already guessed, so no compliment. You're lucky our XP superfan @TrevMUN is busy , and @msfntor is simply very polite and calm.

The quoted article you posted above is about proxy servers and anonymity. This thread is about VPN in Windows XP, though. Conclusion: your posting is off-topic, again, unfortunately. By the way, VPN means Virtual Private Network, and has nothing to do with proxy servers. Truth be told, I usually do not use proxy servers such as anonymous proxies for example but only VPN to get anonymity.

All the newest Windows related content is available at my website under https://twilczynski.com/windows. This thread was initially about creating an updated version of Unofficial SP5. However, for various personal and technical reasons, I was unable to follow my original plans. @Gurgelmeyer, the author of the USP5, used an automatic tool to update the official Service Pack 4 with updates and hotfixes that were released by Microsoft after it. The tool was never shared to the public though, so I began with preparing my own scripts that would do the same work. Yet, I have never gone far enough to be able to integrate the updates into SP4 the same way that he did. Nevertheless, my scripts were still able to merge single updates into so called "update rollups", so I decided to use them to create unofficial packages such as UURollup, Update Rollup 2, HBR Rollup and many others. At that time, I suddenly became responsible for the Updates Lists for HFSLIP for Windows 2000. I had to learn HFSLIP not only from the outside (as a user) but also from the inside (as a maintainer), and also learn how to build and administer a website. In the process I realized that producing more and more small unofficial packages was a dead end. Despite the initial success, they inevitably introduced new bugs and issues that were difficult to track and fix, led to even greater fragmentation of the Windows 2000 update ecosystem and, most importantly, required continuous and active maintenance. In such a situation, I made my mind to fully focus on the Updates Lists with HFSLIP as the ultimate tool for keeping Windows 2000 up-to-date. Everything has been said about HFSLIP (see the HFSLIP forum and my website) so I am not going to elaborate it here. There are at least three reasons why I believe that HFSLIP, despite its limitations, is still better than all other similar tools or prepackaged updates (such as USP5 or unofficial rollups). Firstly, it is a complete program that just works in spite of no active development. It does require small fixes from time to time, but most of them can be done even by a novice developer like myself. Secondly, thanks to its flexibility, HFSLIP is the only such tool able to integrate a large variety of differently structured updates, system files, registry files, addons, any many other packages. Lastly, it supports all language versions of Windows (which is not the case with the majority of the unofficial update packages which are usually English only). All in all, this is how my current point of view stands. The thread itself is old and long, any many things have changed since its creation. Accordingly, many different topics have been discussed here. Since I have discontinued all the other threads related to my work with Windows 2000, feel free to use this one to post your opinion, questions and suggestions on the current and future development of everything related to Windows 2000. The thread's original content is still available in the spoiler below.

Welcome back @legacyfan and thank you for the YT Video, really needed today, I've had zero energy all day. This week is off to a rough start, would seem.

Last Brave that works on Windows 7 is from the early 1.50 range or better 1.49 range. Basically you need to find the one that is based on Chrome 109. Later don't work.

Just for testing purpose, I reinstalled the old uBlock Origin 1.16.4.30 version in MailNews. On the Settings tab, I get the "details is null" error caused by the settings.js file, on the Filter lists tab the "listDetails is null" error caused by the 3p-filters.js file and on the My filters tab the "details is null" error caused by the 1p-filters.js file. To reproduce these errors you have to call up each of these tabs and simply reload them via the context menu (right click everywhere on the corresponding site).

... Well, all I can tell you is that "my inner circle" most probably doesn't know what FUD means ; I have picked that up some years ago, by reading posts on the net ; and yes, I had to first look up its proper meaning ...

Found a minor Dark Magic bug. When right clicking on a Directory Opus 13 floating toolbar (a toolbar that exists outside of the main Opus window, can live on the desktop or dock to the edge of the screen) while Opus is in Dark Mode (a new feature for Opus 13 that is implemented similarly to SAB, win32 property sheets are dark et cetera, great minds think alike 😉) the context menu comes up with mismatched colors.

Okay! But what do you think about the corresponding error message "Error: TypeError: details is null" on the affected setting pages of uBlock Origin? Isn't that an error out by uBO? The variable details belongs to a function on uBO's JavaScript file settings.js.

neither me.

We don't need no water.

That's NetWorx or some s*** like that doing

Update notification! CurrPorts has been updated on 13.12.2023 and is now available in version 2.77. It is still listed to be compatible with Windows XP. Accordingly, I'll update my article as soon as possible. Cheers, AstroSkipper PS: My article about CurrPorts can't be updated at the moment due to the broken MSFN post editor. Maybe, one day when it has been fixed.

Panda free antivirus online installer. It downloads the necessary archives and when it try to install the program before the end it says the program cannot be installed. Vista x64 OS

Supposing is unfortunately never enough. And what about Windows XP 32-bit? Windows Vista is not the topic here. You stated in a previous post: Which version of Panda Free Antivirus and which operation system did you refer to? You surely know this thread is about Windows XP. Such unspecific statements only confuse the readers of this thread. More details, please!

Panda Free Antivirus brokes in the install

@shelby Just a question. Do you use all these security programmes at once, i.e. in the same XP partition?

Where did you get this information? It usually comes in two versions, the free version Malware Hunter and the commercial version Malware Hunter Pro. As already described in my article, the features real-time protection and automatic updates are only available in Malware Hunter Pro.

Yep! However, I deactivated the file PromoUtil.exe in my installation when I used this security programme. Less pop-ups and less RAM consumption. The problem with all recent 360 Total Security versions is the quality of their scanners since they don't use Avira and Bitdefender scan engines any longer but unfortunately their own ones, 360 Cloud Scan Engine, 360 QVMII AI Engine, QEX and KunPeng. Read this review here: https://www.safetydetectives.com/best-antivirus/360-total-security/ And once again, please provide more information when you do a request! One image and a few words are simply too few.

Wow ... good to see this on 27 ...and BTW, thank you, Roy, for taking time from your personal life to keep your projects going.

only got little time this week for updating, so some issues can't resolve and changelog is a bit short.

Have you tried the version from Server 2003? It will probably work with XP. Maybe the filter works differently in it, it's a Server after all.

It's a 3D gaming profile, the one I use for Injustice 2, doesn't work for 2D apps.

Unfortunately, this is not clear for an ordinary user. ''How to block third-party cookies in Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Opera.'' https://www.digitalcitizen.life/how-disable-third-party-cookies-all-major-browsers/

Thanks, I'm looking forward to moving on to Brave 121, where this will finally be fully implemented.

Someone knows, is the situation with AMD drivers better?

Strange, those surely are very important! I'm afraid to ask, what is in his plans, then?

FYI: @Reino updated his FFmpeg version for XP. Download here.

Greeting top you, too! The service is not big, it's local. My profile is under constant and personal surveillance by the supervisor Tripredacus. I asked what could have triggered his attention many times. I asked the supervisor what post, word, text was not to his taste, yet he didn't point out to such. As he couldn't give me a clear answer, I'll not attach links to commercial sources, if you're not satisfied with my answer, please contact the supervisor Tripredacus and redirect the question there.

I have the same question. RDR2 now updated itself and started to demand even a higher driver version! Every time I try to start the game it says " Please update your driver. Game requires 446.14 or newer." Help is appreciated.

"Guilty" as charged, it was me who placed the like to the very helpful post by the member @AstroSkipper, @AstroSkipper catches up with the latest developments like a lightning, both links were working fine, I installed the browser, but deleted it immediately as soon as I discovered it can't work with my paid audio streaming service. Can we now consider the investigation over?

@Dixel, will you be willing to try 348.27? 348.27 + inf modded https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/quadro-348-27-inf-modded.400649/

I had a similar notebook, and this is what I used for it, the driver came on the CD disk. I don't know why it says only Wind.7, when you open it, it's a Wind.8 driver inside. 32-BIT v.9.18.13.4801 https://driverscollection.com/_47814143949b91e952507214a83/Download-HP-EliteDesk-705-G2-NVIDIA-32-Bit-Graphics-Driver-v.9.18.13.4801-Re.A-for-Windows-7-free

Hello @winvispixp! This is very important. My thread about security programmes is targeting Windows XP only. You can see that easily in the headline of this thread, in my first, introducing post, and once again here: Apart from that, we are here in the Windows XP forum. Kind regards, AstroSkipper

The actual name was WiseVector StopX and was abandoned in January of 2023. Have a look here:

Subject: Kaspersky In Germany, the "Bundesamt für Sicherheit und Information (BSI)", in English the "Federal Office for Information Security (BSI)", had already warned against the use of anti-virus software from the Russian manufacturer Kaspersky on 15 March 2022: https://www.bsi.bund.de/DE/Themen/Unternehmen-und-Organisationen/Cyber-Sicherheitslage/Technische-Sicherheitshinweise-und-Warnungen/Warnungen-nach-Par-7/Archiv/FAQ-Kaspersky/faq_node.html (German website, use an online translator!). I already reported the warning from BSI months ago in the old antivirus thread. In the meanwhile, I have changed my mind and now share the official concerns about Kaspersky. Thus, I have removed Kaspersky Antivirus from my internal list and will not write an article about this programme anymore. In these times, one cannot seriously entrust the security of one's computer to such a programme due to its origin. A more in-depth consideration at this point cannot be carried out due to our forum rules. Kind regards, AstroSkipper

Just a reminder! A quotation from my first, introducing post when I started this thread: Think about that! And there is nothing more to say, unfortunately.

Unfortunately, I didn't say Free VPN. services are outdated but they are crap. That's a completely different statement. Therefore, the comparison makes no sense at all. Although off-topic, you are right. The cat needs definitely help , but in Munich, the state capital of Bavaria. It's far away from here.
