Those builds are originally for my private use and they are released because of my goodwill that I think they may help others. This bug doesn't affect me and so I don't have big intention on hunting and fixing it. If you want this to be fixed you at least need to find when the problem started to occur. and last but not least, stop gaslighting.

Notice: although there are some commits in upstream which worth importing, I'm mentally affected by fire news happened in Hong Kong lately so new build will be delayed (i.e. no build this week)

If you ***REALLY*** want your video playback looked into, it's kind of ON YOU to do some LEGWORK in NARROWING IT DOWN. *Shoot the messenger* all you want. But that really is the reality of the situation. We (you!) need to tell roytam "playback WORKS in this month-day-year release, but it is BROKEN one week later with the month-day+7-year release".

Notice: seems need some more time on ironing out front-end (win11) related revs from upstream which hopefully can be done in xmas, but UXP related changes are in and hopefully new build (without those front-end changes) will be available this week.

@Goodwin @roytam1 I'm not a professional, I just compile Mozilla based browsers for my personal use and hope for the best. For instance, I'm trying to compile Firefox 13+ with Windows 2000 compatibility. One thing that sometimes (but not always) causes runtime execution failure is clicking on tools -> options -> applications which can cause an error in MSVCR71.DLL. Also, after reverting the commit that broke Windows 2000 compatibility, I had a minor problem that is caused by opening a new tab, and the message displayed on the new tab page was relating to an invalid address. That annoyance was caused by the commit for Mozilla bug 728429, which mandated ASLR on Windows. In order to find that, I had to cherry-pick a range of commits between the one that broke Windows 2000 compatibility, and the one mandating ASLR, then compile the source code a few times to narrow down my search. The point is, if a problem does not exist in one of roytam1's browser builds, then exists on a later browser version, the right thing to do is find out what the last good version, and the first bad version is, then it would be easier to find when the problem started, and what commit caused it. Also, it is possible a bug might not affect everybody.

StartAllBack 3.9.19

I did it for testing (manually applying 3dyd's changes to the source of official PyInstaller 6.17.0) and converting into a wheel (built with 32bit toolchain from here on Windows 10). pyinstaller-6.17.0-py3-none-any.whl (for XP) pyinst-6.17.0_yt-dlp_x86_XP.7z

no clue, check for upstream if problem persists. (but remember, youtube pushes AV1 content which is too heavy for old machines.)

fileextd.dll its a old rare file that provide some functions that xp useally dont have - it can be seen as kernel extender i dont know its origin either some say its from the xbox and a official file while other say its a handmade file by someone maybe we get some more information about it what i know is that it is shown as used library on microsofts website: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winbase/nf-winbase-getfileinformationbyhandleex then "Kernel32.lib; FileExtd.lib on Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP"

Makes sense; if Z was the last to have been loaded in the tab when that tab was closed, why do you expect otherwise? After all, the browser feature is called "Recently Closed Tabs", not "Recently Visited Sites" ; however, a closed-tab's history isn't being deleted (it's saved in session data); re-open the tab with site Z on it, then use the back button once to revisit site Y (or twice for site X, etc.) ...

Totally understandable; sincere condolences for the loss of life of so many of your compatriots ...

Did you set up the proxy properly following the instructions? How did you start the proxy? Which version of Windows XP is installed in your computer? What is the state of updates? No detailed information, no help is possible! And I wrote a lot before, but no statements from you what I suggested: OnePiece Windows XP Post-SP3 UpdatePack, Linux Q4OS (Trinity Desktop) and so on. Truth be told, not much fun helping you!

Sorry, but this is no sentence and does not make any sense. A string of one or four words has nothing to do with detailed information.

If I wanted to use such old hardware with only 320MB of RAM, I would install a lightweight version of Linux such as Q4OS (Trinity Desktop). You can find it here: https://q4os.org/ In my opinion Windows XP can be installed on such hardware, and simple things can be done there, but it won't be fun if you want to use such a system basically. Modern software have much higher RAM consumption than older one. For surfing the WWW for example you need modern browsers and your size of RAM will let the system extremely slowing down or freezing completely. And an OS like Windows ME is unfortunately no solution either. I have such a Win ME partition too, but surfing the modern web doesn't make any fun or any sense at all.

Please be a bit more detailed! I guess you got this error code while trying to access MU web site. If so, you should follow these instructions completely and carefully: You must not skip any step.

Thanks for your info! But where did I say that last verion is REV3d? I wrote: You probably misread it or missed it. I provided a download link for version REV3d because there is no link for version REV3e. @heinoganda hadn't provided any download links generally. You had to send him a PM to get his latest release. And he doesn't provide download links anymore. So there is only a download link for version REV3d. As I already mentioned in my article I did my job carefully: But no problem, that can happen to anybody. The Romans said: "Errare humanum est."

if you think the problem exists in my browser, you may at least try bisecting when the problem starts occurring. without doing so, there is no way to find where the problem is. and BTW Centaury doesn't share same UXP engine as my builds so it is incomparable.

Hello Anton12, you addressed your request to blackwingcat personally. Since he didn't respond for a while now, I will share my thoughts which might or might not help in getting somewhat forward with the issue. The standard "TLS 1.3" was published in 2018. The last official updates for Windows 2000 are from 2016. The last updates for Windows XP are from 2017 (I think). However, there were still updates published for Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 back in 2018. Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 is based on Windows XP and therefore is somewhat compatible with Windows 2000. So it would make sense to check whether there is an update for Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 which adds support for TLS 1.3. It would be a start to work on a solution for Windows 2000. If there is no such update, then it would be nice to know, when and how Microsoft added support for TLS 1.3 to Windows/Internet Explorer for a version as close as possible to what we have in Windows 2000. This type of research can be done without having any skills in programming. But it still helps the person whoever ends up writing the patch. There aren't many who have the skills to backport new features and write a clean and working update for end users. So the todo list of those persons are usually pretty full. Any help to reduce the burden from the bottle neck is often appreciated. Adding support for TLS 1.3 support in principle is one thing. A clean integration into the operating system is another thing. For example being able to activate/deactive support through the internet options like with the other standards would be nice, too. However, it adds more work to the undertaking.

... Well, this isn't a very reassuring answer, you do realise that ... Don't know ; perhaps @user57 is on the right track on this (or even @cmalex, safe may he be, knows more ); the question to be asked is why did it magically appear in the latest yt-dlp WinXP compiles, whereas it wasn't present (needed?) all that time before? ... Can't tell; my AV solution gave it a "clean bill of health" ; you can try to see if the WinXP packages launch and function OK WITHOUT it, then take the necessary steps to remove it altogether; I'm not being paranoid (I think ), but I'd rather not have it there, if it isn't indispensable... Best festive wishes ...

I am on GitHub. But... You won't like this answer. I technically no longer subscribe to "keep XP alive" or "keep 7 alive". The endeavor is a great endeavor, don't get me wrong. But what we end up with instead is spoon-feeding a sect of society that *CAN* afford a newer mode of internetting (and most even confess HAVING NEWER) but think that they are somehow "entitled" to the rest of the world keeping their XP or 7 capable of "everything".

When using dark magic sharp corners and a custom msstyles after restarting the computer the highlight over the start button is rounded.

The 'recently closed' list has always seemed to be reasonably accurate for me, although I have seen occasional anomalies where something which should be there isn't.

steve: i'm still dl every month. thx again for keeping these lists viable. Helps a lot. ron

Intel finally released an official 24H2 compatible graphics drivers for 7th-10th Gen processors (it should also work on 25H2) https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/776137/intel-7th-10th-gen-processor-graphics-windows.html?wapkw=driver

One can get tired of exporting one by one very quickly. Let's see, There we have often cases where pics and videos are stored at another website, so even if you export the main (root) website cert, the pics will show empty, the browser will prevent the off-site untrusted (un-certified) connections. Last but not least, many modern AV scanners use your cert store to check the sites and/or your browser's executable. As we see, Tripredacus uses official browsers, perhaps he uses such AV software, too.

Yes, it's the tool I used about a decade ago, thanks for the right link, I can confirm it works the easiest way, even for beginners.

My memory isn't that sharp regarding the subject, I did it about 10 years ago. Here's how they do it these days, fresh article. "How to Inject USB 3.0 Driver into Windows 7 Install Media" https://woshub.com/adding-usb-3-0-controller-drivers-to-windows-7-install-media/

I was under the impression it does';t, unless you explicitly specify. You want to tell it does it silently? Well, then I'm against this. Kind of anti-feature if it does it without consent.

I can't really say whether the problem also occurs in Pale Moon (32-bit or 64-bit ), as I don't use this browser. It was also just a guess. In any case, the Speed Dial 0.9.6.18 and Tab Utilities 2.1.2 extensions in the latest New Moon 28 32-bit release definitely break the session restore function on my Windows XP system. The Session Manager extension only generates some errors in the Browser Console but is still working so far. @UCyborg For reproducing this issue, it is simply enough to only use either Speed Dial or Tab Utilities. So, for example, disable Tab Utilities and Session Manager, start latest New Moon 28 (32-bit), close some tabs and restart the browser. Then you should actually notice that the already closed tabs are still there which means the internal session (re)store does not work anymore if Speed Dial is enabled. You should also see the error message "ReferenceError: nsIWebNavigation is not defined" in the Browser Console when closing tabs from the current browser session. The more tabs you close, the more error messages you will get. At least, that's what I observe in dirty or clean New Moon 28 (most recent version) profiles on my Windows XP 32-bit computer. And I'm pretty sure that I'm not the only one affected by this issue. Maybe, other members may also confirm this issue.

Regarding Speed Dial I found a ReferenceError in the Browser Console: ReferenceError: nsIWebNavigation is not defined[Learn More] speeddialOverlay.js%20line%201595%20%3E%20eval:42:13 This error message is generated every time I close a tab. And here is a screenshot taken from NM's Browser Console: And I got this message after resetting Speed Dial and browser restart: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x8000ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED) [nsIPrefBranch.getCharPref]" nsresult: "0x8000ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://speeddial/content/speeddialOverlay.js :: startBackgroundLoad :: line 1770" data: no] (unknown) So, the culprit seems to be the JavaScript file speeddialOverlay.js. The main problem with Speed Dial is that when tabs are closed, they are there again after a restart. The current browser session is therefore not restored as it has always been. Same applies to the extension Tab Utilities 2.1.2.

Although your question is of rhetorical nature, I just want to understand what happened. The reported extensions worked for many years properly. So what is the cause for their sudden breakage?

Good comparison! This clearly shows the positive effect of rebasing I stated in previous posts. 66.6% less RAM consumption. That's a lot. BTW, maybe your CPU is weaker (I can't remember what kind of CPU you have) but your system is equipped with 4 GB RAM, mine with only 1.5 GB RAM (slow SD-RAM, i.e., no DDR-RAM).

@Dave-H I am analyzing the automatic updates applet problem we both have. For me it doesn't matter actually I don't use automatic updates but you know I hate errors in my system. Using HTTPSProxy switched on and setting automatic updates to "Notify but don't automatically download or install them" could you trigger automatic updates by executing command wuauclt /resetauthorization /detectnow under two different conditions? First condition is to execute command proxycfg -u and second condition is to execute command proxycfg -d. Then I would like to ask you to upload a copy of your Windows Update log. PS: And don't be afraid! None of these commands will harm your system.

@Dave-H Requested certs have been sent via PM. And give your ProxHTTPSProxy a second chance by installing original certificate in program folder. For this purpose apply ProxHTTPS Cert Install.exe. Maybe your generated HTTPSProxy CA certificate is problematic when you try to connect to MU. You know my HTTPSProxy CA certificate has a different timestamp. And don't forget to close HTTPSProxy by clicking exit in systray menu if using ProxHTTPSProxy.

@Dave-H A little correction. I meant registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate and there the value of LastRestorePointSetTime. Here is my value: 2019-04-12 13:45:09. You see it's your English format. Try the point in time you have there first! Then you may try other points in time. The method "Turning back time" can mean to go back one year or one day. You just have to try out. It's trial and error. Maybe it works. I'll forgive you due to your "senior moment". But where is the 'Use HTTP 1.0' option? I have only these entries: Use HTTP 1.1 and the Use HTTP 1.1 through proxy connections. If there wasn't both entries it had to be assumed that your Internet Explorer was not properly installed or is faulty. Anyway, look at last post of me above to download screenshots of my services in better quality.

@Dave-H What about the 5 missing certificates under Intermediate Certification Authorities? You didn't mention it. In the next days I'll post another very interesting solution to fix your problem. I still have to work it out a bit. Of course if turning back time doesn't help! Now I'll go to bed. Cheers!

@Dave-H Maybe perform all steps in my new post: As I told you I had a lot of troubles to restore MU in my system. I had all error codes someone could get. I think your error code has been one of them. Maybe you have a BIOS date/time problem due to low cmos battery but I don't think so. My advice: Do all the steps once again and do not miss anyone! You know Windows is very often a mystery.

I have reinstalled these four updates flawlessly. I get a fully loaded Microsoft Update site using HTTPSProxy (that's very good ) but when searching updates I get error code 0x80072F78 again. I tried to load it a several times. See my screenshot https://imgur.com/xOfqchc

I see . Gaming without fans ramping up is comfortable , I agree. TITAN X doesn't have 16x and 32x CSAA , as far as I know. How do you live with that ? I still have the original TITAN from 2013 and it has 32x AA, pretty nice for gaming.

That's exactly what I did , and what I got in return , except for rudeness and total lack of respect , not to mention him going off-topic ? I'm definitely getting a very cold welcome here , now from this supervisor too . Yet I didn't do anything against the rules and was polite in every topic . Is it something personal ? Why did you just backed him up ? You took his side for what ? Not even a word or a warning for being rude and staiyng off-topic ? Well, that's a good example for other members. I simply won't take any blame for asking him to translate his local language into English . Are any other supervisors reading this ? I mean @dencorso

Thank you very much ! I even started to think , what a cold welcome I'm getting here , except for win32 and @Dixel who were helpful , now including you @asdf2345 Now back to the topic , look here https://doxygen.reactos.org/d6/d49/sdk_2lib_2drivers_2ntoskrnl__vista_2rtl_8c_source.html
