ytBATCH for Windows XP has been updated and is now available in version 1.6. All changes I have made and the download link can be found here: Greetings, AstroSkipper

Thanks for this information! I made a shortcut with the command line option --prefs. This is indeed working. Clicking onto the VTHash.exe file does not work in my system.

Yep. But as I already mentioned, my new code does not use this command any longer but instead yt-dlp --version respectively youtube-dl --version as a basis. All further processing, you will see in my upcoming release ytBATCH for Windows XP 1.6.

Clicking onto the vthash.exe file as described in the readme file. And it doesn't matter whether doing that from an Explorer or Total Commander window. The window is always hidden and inaccessable. Process Hacker can see its proccess, the window item is disabled, though.

We'd need to see some actual evidence, statistics from independent sources, fact checked researches. Until then, it's just a guess. I've never even heard of this programme before, in Belgium we don't use it, and the first time I read about it was here, but no proof of its alleged "quality" was ever provided..

About 18 Euro per 4Gb, here in Belgium, not much.

You're very welcome. I just don't think those 28nm cards would go that deep into idle modes. A 28nm chip is still a 28nm chip, GDDR5 VRAM is also power hungry. And 0.9W is more like for when the system boots up. GT710 is 19W, but what is there to downclock that much further? It's a very weak card to begin with. Probably, it's vaild for notebook versions? As there were both, 710 and 750 used in notebooks. https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-gt-710.c1990

No. Do not compare WDM Network/Audio drivers to GPU drivers. Windows 9x never did and never will support Windows 2000 GPU drivers, especially when thinking about their 3D acceleration, end of story. WDM drivers are sometimes intercompatible between Win2000 and 98...but this never included video drivers, mostly just network and audio drivers, and even then it's not guaranteed. You're not the first person to think about this and all conclusions have been done long time ago. There is no breakthrough to be made unless someone is crazy enough to write a new Win9x GPU driver including proper 3D Acceleration for whatever NVIDIA/AMD/Intel GPU they want. Closest thing we have now is SoftGPU and its components here: https://github.com/JHRobotics?tab=repositories But so far he is implementing just DDraw acceleration, no Direct3D...and this is only designed for virtual machines. I don't know if it's possible to rewrite his VMDisp9x driver to be a universal one like VBEMP. Then, we could in theory use his Mesa/Wine ports to have some kind of universal 3D Acceleration, even if fully dependant on software (CPU) rendering. Dependency Walker righly so says to you that the GPU driver relies on VIDEOPRT.SYS, a NT video miniport, which is a fundamental difference between NT and DOS-based Win9x systems. If there was somehow a way to port NT display driver subsystem to Win9x....would it still be 9x at this point? Sometimes we need to say stop.

I had the same issue under WinXP as AstroSkipper, no program running in the background that catches and hides windows, as far as I know. AstroSkipper's trick to create a desktop shortcut with Target: "H:\Virus Total Hash Check\VTHash.exe" --prefs has resolved the issue for me. I subsequently renamed the shortcut to "Virus Total Settings". Maybe it's best to create such a shortcut immediately after the installation if Internet Explorer 8 is not installed under WinXP, so that you can manually select "Use SSL/TLS" in Settings, in order to avoid getting blocked with the message "Your virus total account is not allowed to perform that action"

Unfortunately, Chrome Sync still does not work after adding Google API keys, you still need OAuth2 keys. As a not being a Chromium developer, you can only use the default keys, which can be added with the --oauth2-client-id and --oauth2-client-secret flags. There is a simple solution for this, so that you won't have to add flag it to shortcuts or in the registry (in case you set it as default browser) void ChromeMainDelegate::PreSandboxStartup() { base::CommandLine& command_line = *base::CommandLine::ForCurrentProcess(); std::string process_type = command_line.GetSwitchValueASCII(switches::kProcessType); if (!command_line->HasSwitch("oauth2-client-id")) { command_line->AppendSwitchASCII("oauth2-client-id", "77185425430.apps.googleusercontent.com"); } if (!command_line->HasSwitch("oauth2-client-secret")) { command_line->AppendSwitchASCII("oauth2-client-secret", "OTJgUOQcT7lO7GsGZq2G4IlT"); } With this code, replace the PreSandboxStartup() function in the chrome_main_delegate.cc file. Edit: in testing/variations/fieldtrial_testing_config.json there are flags about TabStripComboButton and disabling MV2 support. They override the default values declared in the corresponding files, hence you need to remove them from this json.

My mom's a criminal defence attorney. In court, you need to provide exact details, but you explicitly denied to do that, without the knowing your version we have nothing more to investigate, the court denies your application. Added. As for Kaspersky in general, there was an investigation here already, also by "ancient" and respected members, in this topic, about the fact it changes main Windows system files, scroll back,

I am an old member of MSFN too with 4k+ postings , and I have never given any advice without a well-founded reason. Long story short, absolutely no trust in Kaspersky and especially in their definition updates. And this will be the case forever. The reasons for that can be read in all its detail in this thread.

@AstroSkipper On my computers, no problems opening settings by running the main executable from Explorer, XYplorer or by a shortcut on the desktop. I just need to wait a few seconds. How to do run the main executable ? At the command line, if VTHash.exe is in the path, you just need the following command: vthash --prefs The list of command line parameters can be found on the github page of the project. Regards

I can attest that my specific build of Kaspersky Anti-Virus is of top quality and is completely safe to use for virus-checking. I have used this build for 11 years, nearly every other day. I am not Russian and have no affiliation to Kaspersky or Russia whatsoever. I am an old member of msfn, since 2008, 1k+ postings and I have never given bad advice intentionally. One man's opinion, no more discussions about that, you're entitled to your opinion.

I don't know, maybe I'm just stupid, but the compiler kept telling me what to do with them. There were two errors, regarding elevation service and updater legacy. In both cases, the compiler components created corrected files in temporary files, which had to be copied to src\third_party\win_build_output.... I was doing this correctly all the time with elevation service, but for some reason not with updater legacy, which I copied to out\Default\gen\... ninja has the ability to compile individual objects, it seems that I will have to compile those problematic elements first and paste the fix generated by it even before I start compiling the whole. I'm currently finishing compiling already I can't even remember which version (it's been compiling since 3 pm on Sunday, and it's 8 am on Monday) I have 2000 objects left, which will take maybe half an hour. I purchased slightly better hardware (Ryzen 7 1700, 32GB of DDR4 RAM) to make the compilation time significantly shorter, should be at my place tomorrow. Edit: YES!!!!!! I GOT IT! However, this is built with the parameters is_debug = true and is_component_build = true, because the number of objects was only 53,000 instead of 87,000. I will build the version with the parameter is_official_build = true after I assemble and configure the new computer.

This man compiles almost pure Chromium. He only adds basic codecs and ffmpeg. You can always compile yourself, but as you can see, despite the seemingly trivial instructions, it's not so easy.

Oh, and I saw this last year but I didn't post it here. Cygwin dropped Vista, as well as x86 32-bit (including WOW64) support back in 2022. http://www.crouchingtigerhiddenfruitbat.org/Cygwin/timemachine.html The last version supporting Vista/Server 2008 "R1" and 32-bit systems is 3.3.x, released in 2021. Whether 3.4 is "installable-and-runnable" on NT 6.0 is not tested though.
