  1. @VistaLover VLC has not yet fixed a known vulnerability since January 18. The better known and more widespread the software is, the more it becomes a target for system attacks. Update as soon as the new version is available, my friend: https://thehackernews.com/2021/04/1-click-hack-found-in-popular-desktop.html

  2. We are fortunate to have a security guru like @Sampei.Nihiraat MSFN! Too many users of legacy Windows seem to think online threats are just a hoax.

  3. Notepad++ 7.9.2 is the last version of Notepad++ that will run on Windows XP. Says so in the Notepad++ v7.9.3 release notes.

  4. INF files which are used to install drivers can work on multiple Windows versions (one INF file can support 98 SE, ME, 2000 and XP for example). This doesn't mean that the driver itself, which are the SYS files, will work. Intel forgot to disable support for Windows 98 SE/ME for the 2200BG in the INF file. Windows is naive and will process any INF file and its corresponding SYS files, as long as the INF is valid, even if SYS files won't work. Since the SYS file was not made for ME, it fails to load it, that's what causes the yellow ! icon.

  6. - Windows NT 5.x family windowsupdate.com links for available languages, including all (any?) Custom Support Updates - The updates links are grouped for each build, slightly sorted, and ordered lexicographically per update number or file name as possible - Superseded (replaced) updates are not filtered or excluded - The dump is available as csv files containing updates name and url, or plain text files containing updates url - It's recommended to use CSVFileView to check the csv files https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/csv_file_view.html - You can filter or extract updates for certain language using findstr (Vista or 7) e.g. findstr /i \-enu NT_5.2.3790-x64-Custom.csv > NT_5.2.3790-x64-Custom-enu.csv however, few update have different language identifier or none, so it's best to review the whole file first - NT_5.1.2600-x86-SP2-Custom and NT_5.1.2600-x86-SP2-Custom-IE are ment for the EOS Windows XP SP2 x86 only - NT5-ia64 is for Itanium-based Server 2003 / Windows XP - .NET Framework packs and updates for NT 5.1/5.2 are in a separate list files, likewise Windows Media Player and some eXtra updates # P.S. Maybe it's best not to post the links explicitly in the forum replies or text sites (pastebin, txtuploader..), and share them in the txt/csv files # Download https://gitlab.com/stdout12/adns/uploads/9ca06a12dd08c06edd889e65afa637fa/NT5_WU_URLs_csv.7z https://gitlab.com/stdout12/adns/uploads/33fcfd0b0f6c1a0cb74472cb8407800d/NT5_WU_URLs_txt.7z

  7. A bit late reporting this time, but a cornucopia of no less than seven Office 2010 updates this month. To paraphrase Mark Twain, reports of the End of Life of Office 2010 have obviously been greatly exaggerated!

  8. sorry, I'm not trying to mock you or anything, but have you heard of WINDOWS-AS-A-SERVICE? Windows 10 EOL only applies to windows 10 ltsb 2015.

  9. Well, today i did as you described and got Win98 on that D830 in about the same state as yours. The only notable difference should be that i have a NVidia GPU here, i selected the 32MB VBEMP driver and it worked fine. Unfortunately, i didn't have time to do any experiments with it. Maybe next week, if things aren't too crazy at work...

  11. The really interesting bits are to be found inside: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/pull/9378 especially in comments by XP user @KOLANICH ... TL;DR : They didn't really have to drop XP, it was just that one of their devs (@mere-human) "forcefully" introduced code for a "modern" style File Open dialog, that relies on APIs found only on Vista+; the idea to have a fallback for XP was also dropped, as "too complicated"...

However, stay vigilant, more string changes on the way... https://github.com/roytam1/UXP/commit/700f7804bdfe9f8d6dbb9b5dae825a297dd16a34#diff-a4c8afcf877e09836666f13acf9d862c30c2b029439418d1afd4fd63f61c1a9d

  16. Goed gevonden / Good find. It took a little digging again, but I found three differences with files in the language pack "nl\devtools\client" folder, all related to WebIDE. (Which was supposedly removed by roytam?, though not really). Anyways, it works now, please try the updated language pack in my edited previous post.

  18. My XP experience is best shared pictorially. When covid shut down one of my customers for a couple of months, I went ahead and made a 3D model of my house "just to pass the time". I work out of a home office and below is my living room. Five of those widescreen monitors are ran by a quad-core i7-4770 @ 3.4GHz with 16GB RAM -- XP x64 so all 16GB RAM is usable. Two of the widescreens are TVs, I usually have a sitcom on one and news on the other -- if not news on both. The two laptops (one runs triple boot 7, 10, XP x86 but pretty much always booted into XP, the second runs Win 10) can optionally send to the larger of the two widescreen TVs. The computer room has a quad-core core-two Q6700 @2.66GHz with 3GB RAM -- XP x86 and "only" 3 monitors, two "square", one widescreen. Working from home, basically every customer has their own VirtualBox VM. Most of these VMs are XP x86, a couple of them are Win 10 LTSB. With 16GB as my Host, I can (when needed) run four, five, even six of my guest VMs and not bog the Host down. Not common, but "can" be done. It is common to be running two VMs. But here is my FAVORITE part of this setup -- and it is XP x64 ONLY (this computer originally came with Win10, I've tested with 7, but running XP x64 for speed, efficiency, and this "flaw"). The combination of graphics cards and USB converters to get me to FIVE widescreen monitors has a "flaw" that ONLY occurs in XP x64. Fully updated and most recent hardware drivers. But here is the "flaw" (that I do not want fixed, I love this "flaw") -- when the monitors turn off because of being idle (I do not use screensavers), ONE of the monitors will NOT turn off. So I can let four monitors "sleep" while the fifth monitor runs email or voicemail for if a customer reaches out to contact me while the computer is "sleeping".

  20. To each their own, but since you bring it up and seem to be requesting feedback -- my feedback is this, I DON'T GIVE A RATS ARSE ABOUT "UPDATES". The very FIRST thing I do whenever I install ANY operating systems is to DISABLE UPDATES !!! !!! !!! However, I do SLIPSTREAM updates before every installation - so I do "update". And one of the things I *LOVE* about Win XP is that I don't have to WASTE THE TIME slipstreaming MORE updates. I stopped slipstreaming and patching SO-CALLED "risks" in June 2017 on this computer (WinXP x64) and in January 2018 on my SIX computers running WinXP x86. I do NOT run antivirus - haven't for a good 15 years or so. If you know "how" to use a computer and know when to click and when not to click and if you do NOT let your software "phone home" and if you only allow WHITELISTED javascript, then "you'll do just fine". And make sure your hardware firewall (I also no longer waste my time with software firewalls) is set up properly. "You'll do just fine". WITHOUT concerning yourself with HYPOTHETICAL "so-called" 'security risks' propegated by an industry perpetuated as "needed" only when you allow 12 year olds to install "games" or when grandma installs some "coupon app". But anywhoo...

  21. The info and files I've download from MSFN is incredibly useful. I make duplicate copies of everything. I don't know why or how, but I lost an important batch script. Several months ago I installed .Net Framework v4.5 with XP. A common problem after installing v4.5 is a sluggish operating system. It's so bad, most people quickly uninstall v4.5. I posted about this problem and one of your XP experts provided an amazing "fix it all" batch script that cleared all the problems with XP and .Net Framework v4.5. I mentioned this batch script to several friends, but I couldn't provide a copy. I need a link for that script.

  22. The first thing I had done was look for .net related topics that you had created, rather than just search blindly in the forum or on google. Glad the first post I found was the right answer.

  23. YES!! That's it Tripredacus. I like your "K-Mart-ian Legend." The expertise of dencorso provided the solution. If you google about this topic, there must be thousands of posts on other forums about .NET Framework slowing down all versions of Microsoft Windows. As you can see from my original post, it was v4.0 causing a system slowdown, not v4.5. Also, the "batch script" was actually a command line that ran like a batch script. Maybe I was lucky, but installing v4.5 caused no problems at all with XP.
