Can you judge the quality of a specific program which you have never tested, of which you don't even know the build and version? Just food for thought, please don't take my comment in an argumentative way, I do like your many excellent and really helpful postings! I plan to provide details publicly about this build when the Kaspersky signature server stops providing updates for me. And maybe download links. My ancient version of Kaspersky is a corporate version and the signatures can be updated from the Kaspersky server and from an update distribution folder. Updates from an update distribution folder have worked fine for various computers with WinXP, from Pentium 3 to i7, without requiring internet access. I am archiving each signature update, so that eventually there will be a final signature update under Windows XP - but hopefully not in the near future! A final signature update may still be useful for 6 months and longer, and then virus-checking will have to move on to a more recent operating system. The final signature update for Kaspersky Anti-Virus under Windows 98 was on 1Apr2014. Being able to update signatures under Windows XP in 2025 is pretty good!

You're one helluva dev.! I just saw you use 1700 Rysen, it's not far away from what I have (G4620), could it be performed on 8.1?

BTW, I wanted to write about VirusTotal in my thread "Antimalware, firewall, and other security programs for Windows XP working in 2023 and hopefully beyond" soon anyway. I'll give your mod due consideration there as well.

Thanks for your mod! I have never used this programme before. Thus, I have just installed it. What I don't like is to be forced to enter an API key at programme start (Winja doesn't do that) , but displaying the results directly in the programme without having to open the browser is great . Thanks again for restoring XP-compatibility!

LOL, Dolby is the minimalistic audio, a very outdated tech., it was never supposed to become an "audiophile audio", it's highly compressed and very suitable for streaming via Chrome to avoid stutters! Editing. Very important for poor people with slow internet, outdated garbage CPU, to minimise spikes also.

For poor people, or in developing countries, maybe. My father had Dolby CDs (digital form, not "theatre"!) in 1990 or even earlier. https://www.quadraphonicquad.com/forums/threads/proarte-dolby-surround-cds-from-1990-91.5043/ And Laser Discs with Dolby Surround (video) in 1990-91, also. I wasn't even born yet. https://www.lddb.com/laserdisc/00140/PILF-2187/Terminator-2:-Judgment-Day-(1991) Still not incorporating Dolby and DTS to Chrome in the era of streaming has no excuse!!!

People write, Dolby works only in Edge. If it's true, we may safely consider all Chromes, not only this, retardedly outdated, it's a terrible shame to still not implement a technology from 1991. https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/10961

Yes, you're right. I should have said that those were the MBR limits and not w2000-XP-w2003. It is already corrected. Thank you

That's why I wrote: Which means that it doesn't matter at all. The actual question is: What's the point of a report on an old version without a version number of a programme that does not stand for security anyways? Everyone can answer this question for themselves. And if a manufacturer wants to pull the plug, then a few posts in some thread won't change anything. One should evaluate things in life realistically.

Nice to know and thank you for taking care of potentially dangerous users! Anyways, the profile picture problem is still there. I uploaded a 44kb .gif image, just like it was instructed by the forum, yet it re-saved to 3kb.

Here are the important lines (3579 - 3605) from the tun.c file inside the source code of OpenVPN v2.3.18: static const IP_INTERFACE_INFO * get_interface_info_list (struct gc_arena *gc) { ULONG size = 0; IP_INTERFACE_INFO *ii = NULL; DWORD status; if ((status = GetInterfaceInfo (NULL, &size)) != ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER) { msg (M_INFO, "GetInterfaceInfo #1 failed (status=%u) : %s", (unsigned int)status, strerror_win32 (status, gc)); } else { ii = (PIP_INTERFACE_INFO) gc_malloc (size, false, gc); if ((status = GetInterfaceInfo (ii, &size)) == NO_ERROR) return ii; else { msg (M_INFO, "GetInterfaceInfo #2 failed (status=%u) : %s", (unsigned int)status, strerror_win32 (status, gc)); } } return ii; } I assume the mentioned bug won't appear there. When using this OpenVPN version, you can check the connection logs and then you will see whether there is such a bug or not.

Look at its source code, and you will definitely know!

In your quoted link, there is provided an explanation and a solution in terms of this bug. Here is a quote from this topic: When looking into the download package, this bug fix seems to have already been implemented. Your question about Windows Server 2003 has been answered there, too.

For those living somewhere with a governmental ban on Kaspersky (US, for example), using such methods to circumvent restrictions is illegal and might have dire consequences. I guess, teaching people how to do it, too.

Respectfully, I apologise, but @NotHereToPlayGames has no way of knowing what was or wasn't done or changed in Supermium at all. All what he wrote here is speculations, not facts. And how does he know that any modifications were done to the Java engine of the browser at all? It's Java what is not working for the login window, I'm pretty sure you perfectly understand that. There was no need to meddle with the Java engine just to make the browser work on XP. It's nonsense. So far, all facts, including the ability to log in from oldish versions, similar imports to the v.124, non- working sandbox, etc. all point out to the outdated browser core, and @NotHereToPlayGames can't prove otherwise. With huge respect.

Why do I get notification for your replies? I think it was another member who tagged you. @ED_Sln and @D.Draker, they ordered a version for Vista from the Chinese student, he made it after a couple of hours, and it runs on Vista WITHOUT SP!!! How long did it take for Supermium to geat there? Several years? And it's super buggy. Write to the Chinese student, probably he will make one for your XP, but it will take a bit longer, three hours, maybe...

YouTube Downloaders still working under Windows XP Here are some recommendations for YouTube Downloaders still working under Windows XP (and presumably under Windows Vista, too): yt-dlp for Windows XP with a CPU which is equipped with an instruction set of SSE2 or higher. Credits to @nicolaasjan. youtube-dl for Windows XP with a CPU which is equipped with an instruction set of SSE only. Credits to @nicolaasjan. 3D Youtube Downloader (free of charge). The version I am using is now 1.22.2. Starting with this version or one before, this downloader now uses the yt-dlp provided by @nicolaasjan. YouTube Downloader HD 3.7.0.0 (free of charge). There are two versions, an installer and a portable one. These are the last XP-compatible versions. This downloader does not use yt-dlp or youtube-dl. Youtube-dl GUI 0.4 (free of charge). When calling up the executable youtube-dl-gui.exe the first time, a folder youtube-dlg will be created under Documents and Settings\your username\Application Data where you have to replace the file youtube-dl.exe by @nicolaasjan's XP-compatible yt-dlp file. Be aware to keep the original file name! Allavsoft Video Downloader Converter (commercial). The version I am using is 3.25.3.8409 but there are newer ones like for example 3.26.1.8768. Inside the main folder, you have to replace both files youtube-dl.exe and yt-dlp_x86.exe by @nicolaasjan's XP-compatible ones. Be aware to keep the original file names! ytBATCH for Windows XP - A fork of ytBatch by @AstroSkipper which is a YouTube video and audio downloader script (actually rather a batch script ensemble). And these are by no means all the YouTube Downloaders that still work under Windows XP. So, there is no need to watch YouTube videos inside browsers under Windows XP on weak computers, although this is of course possible, too. Cheers, AstroSkipper
