ytBATCH for Windows XP was developed by me primarily as a YouTube downloader. I have preset its configuration files for this purpose and configured it by default so that users with weaker hardware can also use it. Those using much more powerful hardware should adapt the two configuration files yt-dlp.conf and youtube-dl.conf in the cfg folder to their needs. I was recently asked whether ytBATCH for Windows XP can also be used to download video or audio files on other platforms. This should be possible, as yt-dlp and youtube-dl support different websites and platforms by default. However, new, additional configuration files must be created for these and provided with command line options that are compatible with these services. When doing so, it is very important that the currently active config files always have to be named yt-dlp.conf and youtube-dl.conf. In any case, I would personally like to hear about your experiences with ytBATCH for Windows XP. Furthermore, I have expressed the assumption that my downloader also works under other, older operating systems such as Windows Vista or Windows 7, which I am looking forward to receiving confirmation of. In any case, developers who don't earn a cent with their programmes live at least from the feedback of their users.

New build of post-deprecated Serpent/moebius for XP! * Notice: This repo will not be built on regular schedule, and changes are experimental as usual. ** Current moebius patch level should be on par with 52.9, but some security patches can not be applied/ported due to source milestone differences between versions.

Platform Updates are not required for DirectX 11, you confuse with new Firefox versions video playback, for DirectX 11 you only need Windows 6.0 KB2117917. Chrome users don't need Platform Updates, especially.

I use Process Hacker for many years. It shows only one VTHash.exe process whose window entry is disabled though. I also had sometimes two processes in Process Hacker if I forgot to close the previously opened one.

@genieautravail The behaviour of your compiled VTHash.exe file reminds me of executables I have compiled in the past with the "invisible on startup" option. Perhaps, you can check your chosen options for compilation. Just an idea.

Since this shortcut works perfectly, it is very unlikely that a background programme could be the cause. I have even closed Min2Tray from my ProxHTTPSProxy programme, but this has had no effect. Apart from that, it only minimises windows and does not hide them. Otherwise, no other window manager is running in the background here. If I understand you correctly, then calling VTHash.exe by double-clicking works for you under Windiws XP. Is that correct?

Next time, just delete "iCafe" folder, before you install, solved.

700 Series was released in 2013, over 12 years ago! It's obsolete, not only in gaming, but also in power consumption, if you want lower power consumption, buy at least GTX960, it will work with XP, too. In the meantime, here's my screenshot. Idling at 5.73% of the 250W total TDP.

Did that. and the browser still keeps to record the metrics on me.

Why is it created in the first place, even with the Ungoogled switch? Interesting procedure, but we can't observe 24/7 for it to not slip through with that sensitive information.

Update: Larian Studios has dropped a new update to BG3! I've just updated this guide with a new workaround regarding the Win7-incompatible PlayFAB component. According to the developers it's the last main development update so there is a big chance that BG3 will be kept compatible with Windows 7 for years to come

Setting up ytBATCH for Windows XP And for all setting up (I deliberately avoid the term installing at this point since my downloader is actually portable) ytBATCH for Windows XP, here some more technical explanations in terms of the setup process. Executing the ytBATCH.bat file located in the main programme directory of the unpacked archive calls up the Launcher.bat file which decides apart from other tasks whether it is an initial setup or not. In the case of such an initial setup, it performs then an automatic, unique start of the file called Installer.bat which copies the unpacked folder to the %ProgramFiles% location if wanted by the user, generates a desktop shortcut and adjusts all additional shortcuts with different colour schemes in the subfolder lnk. After finishing its job, it then starts the FileDownloder.bat file which downloads, unpacks and stores all necessary files into the exe subfolder. All is automatically done by the script. The user has only to make some few decisions. Furthermore, all important things are explained by the output of the script. If the user decides to reinstall my YouTube downloader ytBATCH for Windows XP, both the complete programme folder and the desktop shortcut have to be deleted, or alternatively all files inside the exe subfolder and only the UserConfig.bat file inside the cfg subfolder have to be removed. The setup or reinstall routine has always to be started with the execution of the ytBATCH.bat file located in the main programme folder. And that means do not manually call up any of the batch files inside the bin subfolder! These files will be only executed by the batch files themselves. At no time does one of these need to be called up by a user. This also applies when everything is set up. Anyone who still manages to generate an error message while setting up ytBATCH for Windows XP after all these explanations has exceptional skills and should contact me urgently here in this thread for further treatment. And don't be afraid, all at no costs, of course! Cheers, AstroSkipper

No, any pure Chromium lacks API keys and OAuth2, I remind you that I only applied e3kskoy7wqk patches to the completely original Chromium. I have not tried this flag, I will check it under Win7, on which, of course, my rebuilts work. I will now look for the cause of the crash on 7 SP0. BTW I tried to restore at least partially the old look, unfortunately Chromium 135 has the old code completely removed. The only thing I can do is to restore the default color scheme of the omnibox, reduce the height of the elements on it, restore the old icons. In the "3 dots" settings menu I will try to change the font to non-bold, remove the icons and reduce it to the size it was before CR23. I was also able to restore the flag that disables Chrome Labs.

FYI and for the cause research, if the programme has been called, and the window is not accessible, it appears the moment you open an Explorer window, very strange.

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

@D.Draker, would YOU suggest to try this browser over Supermium? I've been looking for 32bit for ages!!!
