A night's sleep always brings new ideas to light. The 7-Zip commands for extracting can be simplified to remain completely relative in the path information such as I already did in the whole ytBATCH for Windows XP script ensemble. I will implement this in the next release. Sometimes, things are that simple.

Partially right. Yes, the GUI worked with GTX 1060 and XP using 368.xx driver, with 1050 it gets BSOD, just like it was written at the start of the topic already.

Wrong, no acceleration was available at all.

Intel Pentium 4 Northwood 2.80 GHz CPU (single core, 32 Bit), 1.5 GB SD-RAM and a NVIDIA GeForce 6200 graphic card. As I already mentioned, the hidden window appears again if I open an Explorer window. Very strange.

I have completely changed and rewritten the original ytBATCH from eppic so that it now works perfectly with both YouTube downloaders youtube-dl and yt-dlp. All bugs and inconsistencies have been fixed by me. Especially the fact that the command line options of both downloaders are not identical, I have taken into account by assigning separate configuration files to each downloader. This allows the user to enter the desired options for each downloader and then receive the media files exactly as desired. ytBATCH for Windows XP is totally customised for the use of youtube-dl and yt-dlp, and ideal as a user interface for these two YouTube downloaders. And due to the new update module, the user can easily get the most recent versions of these two YouTube downloaders compatible with older OSes like Windows XP when ever wanted. This is very important regarding the permanent changes which are done by YouTube.

Mark, but this screenshot is from 344, not 347 I gave you earlier, I remembered, we had a user@UCyborg with an identical card, and it had no problems with XP. I'll try to find the driver that worked for that user. Hold on.

Thanks for the corrections, it's a pleasure. In the quote, you can see that version 1.5 is announced instead of version 1.6. I'll try your modifications to see how it works now. I use FAT32 as the system directory, without special permissions in drive D:\ I don't have any operating system on C:. I use that partition for system startup files and also as a shared program installation drive (it's not assigned as the system's default path). Since I have multiple operating systems, most programs are portable, so I don't have to install them on all of my operating systems. Also, many viruses attack C: directly, so I avoid them. Additionally, many programs store junk in C:, and this way I detect it quickly. In the case of ytBATCH, I followed the standard installation "D:\Archivos de programa" (the default path in Spanish for Program Files). So far I have not encountered any program that caused problems because it had D:\ as the drive.

( Happy Easter to all those who observe it ! ) New r3dfox releases have appeared on its GitHub repo : https://github.com/Eclipse-Community/r3dfox/releases/tag/v128.9.0 ... and: https://github.com/Eclipse-Community/r3dfox/releases/tag/v136.0.4 Many thanks to the maintainer! ...

I think you misunderstood my comment a little. The sequence is not correct. First open the VTHash.exe with a double click, the window is then opened hidden and only then open a new Explorer window. For me and @genieautravail, the VTHash.exe window then becomes visible again on older computers.

The latest official version of youtube-dl is from 2021. To get a more recent one, the user would have to compile an executable with all recent changes. Fortunately, @nicolaasjan has been doing this even for SSE only CPUs. When it comes to YouTube-DL Gui 0.4, I now have tested it again. Basically, it still works with both youtube-dl and yt-dlp. But the internal switches are from 2017 and cause problems. The subtitles option has to be switched off as it stopped working. The different, pre-adjusted switches for the video quality do not really work well. If you set 480p, you get something with 398p. To get the programme running smoothly again, the source code would have to be considerably revised and recompiled. ytBATCH for Windows XP, on the other hand, can be set so perfectly that you get exactly what you want.

Try un-expire v132 flags, then search for the words that include tab.

I used the drivers that came with the Xonar CD (which contained both Xp and Vista), but obviously not 11, hence I don't know and can't make judgements about 11. At that time, I had just D1, but later upgraded to the more advanced Xonar D2, The sound on Vista was fantastic, on XP and 7, very similar to what we were listening in the 80's terrible cassette walkmans. or similar to the garbage mp3. On Vista, I always choose 192Khz, of course not 44, and 44 is more like for partially deaf people, the ones who have nothing to lose in the terms of quality anyways. I served in the artillery, my hearing is damaged, and even I hear the clear difference in favour of Vista.

Found it! This driver worked for that member, I don't remember, probably, and most likely I gave it. https://drivers.softpedia.com/get/GRAPHICS-BOARD/NVIDIA/NVIDIA-GeForce-iCafe-Graphics-Driver-35573-for-XP.shtml

Also, shell32.dll, is not needed at all? SHGetPropertyStoreForWindow replace with SHGetStockIconInfo, should be all. I wrote about it before. Basically, all others can be replaced too, but in kernel32 you would have to re-implement the function which gets the info about your locale (or extensions won't work). I could care less because I use the one and only English GB. But other languages, including the US dialect will fail to load, and you will see empty strings.

Fantastic result, I had trust in you, I wrote earlier. ntdll.dll, Why it's needed at all? NTDLL NtOpenKeyEx needs to replaced with just NtOpenKey, should be all, no?!

Thank you! Do you know how to turn off the highlighting of inactive tabs when I hover over them?
