There could be a situation that some components of the software don't load on WinXP while it appears to install and even start. Last version of SMPlayer for XP is 17.3; later versions have a new MPV module. Without a video codec, a player does nothing. IrfanView past 4.53 has a couple incompatible DLLs, one of them WebP. XnView also has a WebP dll. Maybe add a mark on your list for partially working titles. I've read back in the thread a reference about something being officially supported. Probably it is more important that the program works than if somebody on its developer's forum will answer questions about it ("support"). The very latest versions are usually not the best on XP... ugly flat design, require too much memory, slow.

Well, your "declared" OS is Windows 10, NOW you are talking of 2K/XP. You need an external program to have ANSI in Windows NT up to 8.1: https://www.robvanderwoude.com/ansi.php KOLOR or EKKO will do. jaclaz

Exactly, use redraw menu. Choice is a too a good option: @Echo Off Set on=[YES] Set off=[NO] Set opt1=%off% Set opt2=%off% Set opt3=%off% :menu Cls Echo 1. %opt1% Option_1 Echo 2. %opt2% Option_2 Echo 3. %opt3% Option_3 Echo 4. GO Choice /C 1234 /N /M "Toggle your option: " If ERRORLEVEL 4 GoTo :continue If ERRORLEVEL 3 (If %opt3%==%on% (Set opt3=%off%) Else (Set opt3=%on%)) & GoTo :menu If ERRORLEVEL 2 (If %opt2%==%on% (Set opt2=%off%) Else (Set opt2=%on%)) & GoTo :menu If ERRORLEVEL 1 (If %opt1%==%on% (Set opt1=%off%) Else (Set opt1=%on%)) & GoTo :menu :continue Pause

Here you go: Apparently if you mix a 144hz and a 60hz monitor now the refresh-rate will now be unsynced on the 60hz display and rather stay synced to the higher refresh-rate one. That means the image on the 60hz one might potentially be choppy but for people with high-refreshrate VRR monitors like me that's hugely preferable. I rather have a video on my slow monitor be choppy than the game I'm playing on my fast monitor

It's true that not many image editors support RGBA in bitmaps whereas it's more widely supported in PNG but Pixelformer isn't the only one to run on 9X OSes as, for example, Pixbuilder Studio and Greenfish Icon Editor Pro support alpha channels in bitmap files too.

Try retesting now. wayback machine works for me at the moment. This service is destined to archive "removed" KB articles from Microsoft, but they haven't included this specific KB yet: https://mskb.pkisolutions.com/kb/search There's also this Microsoft KB Archive, spanning the time period from the beginning until circa the end of 2007: https://www.betaarchive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=72&t=38285

The trick is to block internet access to CCleaner. You can do so with any freeware firewall still working on XP. For instance, privatefirewall7.0

Windows 2000 exkernel v3.0e actually has all the necessary functions, but the lack of D2D1.dll is a real killer, as Direct2D needs Vista with Platform Update. I've managed to change incompatible NT6 functions to compatible NT5/6 functions by editing import tables using CFF Explorer, with varying success. It's apparently not supposed to work, as the functions' signatures usually don't match, and the replacement functions usually don't have the functionality of newer functions, but it worked for Blender 2.80 and Chess Titans from Vista build 5270 (versions from Vista 6002 and 7 SP1 didn't work). On XP/2003, you might be able to solve your advapi32 issues with xompie (keep in mind I've never used it or even looked at the wrapper DLLs) but D2D will be very difficult if not impossible. UPDATE: here's what to do if you want Sumatra PDF 3,2 on Windows XP (only tested on 2000 though): -download win2k exkernel v3.0e, open the executable in 7zip and extract msvcrt.dll from the vista folder (seems to rely only on XP functions) -place msvcrt in program folder, rename to "msvcr1.dll" then hex edit all instances of msvcrt in Sumatra exe to msvcr1 -copy all wined3d for 2000/XP files (contained in dx folder in exkernel exe) to the program folder. that or get d2d1.dll from Vista/7 and hex edit all instances of msvcrt in it to msvcr1 -it should work, as a similar procedure with windows 2000 works. But you will probably not have titled tabs or a toolbar.

For two years I've used CCleaner v5.32 considered to be last not-spying version. Recently it began to notifie about need to update, though all the according settings and services were turned off. Wonder what's going on, did they get the control finally?

Thank you. Many years ago I began archiving MS-DOS, Windows 3.1, and Windows 95 resources that in my opinion were increasingly becoming endangered but that were of historical significance. I eventually uploaded these online in 2011 as many of these resources are extremely rare and cannot be replaced. Having this stuff backed up with server redundancies and failover is a safer method of preservation. Some of the original links online for this softwareare dead (even with the wayBack Machine) which is where my site comes into play. I didn't want my physical media to be the only source, particularly since physical media tends to degrade over time. That gradually grew into numerous directories for NT 4.0, 98, 2000, and XP. I generally skipped ME and Vista as I was not fond of either OS. I think that people should have complete unfettered freedom to use the software they know and love. If it does the job it was intended to do, it's not obsolete. I don't think people should be forced along by "planned obsolescence" or by corporations whose interest is to make money.

This is the available build http://download.mono-project.com/archive/3.2.3/windows-installer/mono-3.2.3-gtksharp-2.12.11-win32-0.exe (partial .NET 4.5 compatible). Building Mono 4.x with MinGW and few patches may enable it to run on XP. MS .NET framework version 4.0.3. There many misconception of "the other .NET 4.x also supported" which is wrong. So if there are apps claim to be XP compatible but require .NET 4.5 then it won't run. In XP it's possible to install version 1.0, 1.1, 2.0 (3.5) and 4.0 side by side.
