My new beloved superhero, @autodidact : https://msfn.org/board/profile/398146-autodidact/content/ This most kind, generous and altruistic person is also a member on the videohelp.com forums, where he's been releasing Win7-compatible FFmpeg builds periodically; and here, he's doing the same for Vista/XP users; in some way, he's picked up the baton from Reino (whose very old, SSE-only, PC with XP died one year ago) ... As I said, it was by necessity ; but I don't think he's regretted it ...

... @Reino has left the Windows XP "Kingdom" for good and he now resides on Win11 territories ...

Ah... I have Windows2000-KB935839-v30fM-x86-ENU

I have Windows 2000 with extended kernel here in a VM and the latest New Moon works fine.

runtime files are not changed and it works on XP SP2 with hotfix or SP3 using same runtime files, so the problem could be in w2k extended kernel.

Besides speed, system stability could be another criteria for deciding between fltmgr.sys build 5107 and build 6912 under WinXP. eMule could be used for comparing system stability/uptime when running with fltmgr.sys build 2180 [WinXP SP2] vs build 5107 vs build 6912. eMule, installed under WinXP SP2 and running 24/7 on a dedicated old Inspiron laptop (500MHz, SSE-only, 512MB RAM), tends to crash with the original fltmgr.sys build 2180 after downloading for 7-14 days. Build 5107 has been installed to see whether it can increase eMule uptime, i.e. system stability.

I was able to login in with OAth2 using MailNews with an outlook account. I had to go in the config editor and set *general.useragent.compatMode.firefox* to true. Then the Microsoft login page displayed properly and worked. Hope it helps some folks, I am using windows server 2003

Panda Free Antivirus Panda Free Antivirus (recently also called Panda Dome) is a cloud-based antivirus application designed to protect the user without wasting resources. It is extremely light as all the work is done in the cloud. Panda Free Antivirus provides fast protection against the newest viruses thanks to its cloud-scanning from Panda servers. Even the most recent version of Panda Free Antivirus is still compatible with Windows XP (SP3 32 bit editions only). Features: Antivirus Protection - Real-time protection against all types of malware and spyware. Schedule periodic scans and/or scan your computer on demand. USB protection - Protect your PC by preventing the automatic execution of malware from USB drives. Scan all USB drives upon insertion. Panda rescue kit - Free PC recovery system. Run an advanced scan of your PC or create a rescue USB drive to boot and clean those infected computers that won’t even start. Multimedia/Game mode - This mode ensures you play or watch multimedia content without disturbance from your antivirus while remaining completely secure. Homepage: https://www.pandasecurity.com/en/homeusers/free-antivirus/ Version number: 23.00.00 Date of release: 22.12.2025 Previous versions: 21.01.00 released on 15.12.2021 22.00.01 released on 01.04.2023 22.01.01 released on 15.09.2023 22.02.00 released on 31.10.2023 22.02.01 released on 27.12.2023 22.03.00 released in 09.2024 22.03.01 released in 01.2025 22.03.02 released in 03.2025 22.03.03 released in 05.2025 22.03.04 released in 06.2025 22.03.05 released in 11.12.2025 System requirements: Compatible with: Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP (SP3 or higher, 32 bit only). Compatibility with Windows XP 64 bit: As already confirmed by @WSC4 and @UCyborg, Panda Free Antivirus is unfortunately not fully compatible with Windows XP 64 bit editions. The installer doesn't seem to detect the already existing .NET Framework 4 installation. A .NET Framework reinstallation via the installer also fails. If you still want to use Panda Free Antivirus under Windows XP 64 bit, you need to make some changes for the installer to work properly, which @UCyborg has found out and described here: https://msfn.org/board/topic/184730-antimalware-firewall-and-other-security-programs-for-windows-xp-working-in-2023-and-hopefully-beyond/?do=findComment&comment=1253877 Whether Panda Free Antivirus will run stably under Windows XP 64 bit is currently unclear and has to be confirmed yet. In any case, everything is without guarantee and at your own responsibility. Activation of the Panda account under Windows XP: Install my package ProxHTTPSProxy's PopMenu TLS 1.3 3V3. Inside the archive, there is a short and a long, more detailed user manual. The user should read it carefully. All in all, installing my package is very easy, and the configuring of the PopMenu is done automatically. When done, start the proxy. Finally, you have to set the proxy in Panda's settings menu. The address is 127.0.0.1 with the port 8079. You need this proxy only once for the activation. When done, you can delete the proxy settings and close the proxy. Release notes: New cloud-based disinfection engine New behavioral analysis engine in the free edition Improved offline protection Process monitor allows seeing Internet connections on a per process basis Improved performance and 50% faster scans Compatibility with newer versions of Windows New interface Ability to manage different licenses Reviews: https://www.experte.com/antivirus/panda https://www.lifewire.com/panda-free-antivirus-review-1356582 Tests: https://softwarelab.org/best-antivirus-software/ https://www.av-comparatives.org/vendors/panda/ https://www.av-test.org/en/antivirus/home-windows/manufacturer/panda-security/ Download links: Online installer: https://repository.pandasecurity.com/Panda/FREEAV/193309/PANDAFREEAV.exe Offline installer: http://acs.pandasoftware.com/Panda/FREEAV/193309/FREEAV.exe, credits to @AstroSkipper http://acs.pandasoftware.com/Panda/FREEAV/Promo_pd/FREEAV.exe, credits to @VistaLover Legacy offline installer: http://acs.pandasoftware.com/Panda/FREEAV/Promo_pd/FREEAV_LGC.exe, credits to @AstroSkipper Here is a website where you can get the old offline installer of version 21.01.00: https://panda-free-antivirus.sooftware.com/windows/download/338378 Uninstaller: If you encounter problems installing Panda Antivirus Free and uninstalling it fails or is incomplete, you should use the Panda Dome Generic Uninstaller, which is available here: https://techsearch.pandasecurity.com/PandaKBView?id=kA1Vr00000064QjKAI Screenshot: Screenshots taken from version 22.03.05 under Windows XP: Panda Free Antivirus is based on new cloud computing concept in which services are provided over Internet. This new antivirus scans files through Internet which makes it very light on system resources. It also doesn’t need regular updating of virus definitions as it automatically updates the virus definitions in the cloud (remote server) and scans files using those latest virus definitions. The user should have a good speed Internet connection to fully utilize this new cloud based antivirus otherwise it won’t work. No problem if the user is offline, it’ll still protect the system from virus attack as it stores the virus definitions in local cache as well. The system load of Panda Free Antivirus is very low (lower than it was for example with WiseVector StopX), and the detection rate is supposed to be very good according to my research. I used it for a while, and it is definitely an option for Windows XP. Cheers, AstroSkipper P.S. from 20.12.2025: Important information My current recommendation is to use Panda Free Antivirus 20.02.01 or 21.01.00 on Windows XP instead of the latest version. Reasons for this recommendation can be read starting from this post: https://msfn.org/board/topic/184730-antimalware-firewall-and-other-security-programs-for-windows-xp-working-in-2023-and-hopefully-beyond/page/83/#findComment-1284113
