Release: https://github.com/LordOfMice/Tools/blob/master/nvme9x.zip https://github.com/LordOfMice/Tools/blob/master/nvment.zip https://github.com/LordOfMice/Tools/blob/master/nvme2k-src.zip readme: NVMe driver for Windows 9x. Base: nvme2k 1.0.0.2 https://github.com/techomancer/nvme2k Changes: Port for Windows 9x, 64-bit LBA & Fixes 1. Generic - added SCSI 64-bit LBA commands processing (large drives support). Tested on Windows 9x ONLY - fixed controler shutdown code - speed up of command queueing and it is less CPU consuming - fixed enormously low speed or false positive errors on executing of large size requests - various code rectifications 2. Windows 9x specific - port with 2 bug fixes - install script nvme9x.inf written Install and uninstall as usual hardware, nothing specific.

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)

this site uses await, which is filed in https://repo.palemoon.org/MoonchildProductions/UXP/issues/2229

The problem with posting new topics should now be fixed.

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 ...

@thepwrtank18 Or just substitute MSO.DLL with @jumper's modified version. http://geocities.ws/jumper/ The installation then appears fully up to date and works.

The problem with the new topic lasted for a really long time, and only fixed now. I remember being unable to post on the Microsoft Office forum months ago. The Like button was used by a group of people with a leader whose name begins with "D", but they don't seem to be kiddies. I only use the like button generally when I've read what was said to me and don't want to reply anymore. While everything works, I'm keeping Supermium 132. Don't fix what isn't broken.

FFmpeg update. XP: static shared libfdk-aac VISTAx86: static shared libfdk-aac

Yes, I filed a complaint this morning (it was already "deleted"). Instead it's maybe better to use a PrivateBin instance. https://github.com/PrivateBin/PrivateBin

... 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".

I still build on XP the old fashioned way: python -m pip install -U "setuptools>=71.0.2,<81" pip wheel pip install -U -r requirements.txt python -m pip install pyinstaller==5.13.2 python devscripts/update-version.py -c "nicolaasjan/yt-dlp" -r "nicolaasjan/yt-dlp" "2025.11.25.144622" python -m bundle.pyinstaller --onedir Where `requirements.txt` is: mutagen pycryptodomex brotli; implementation_name=='cpython' certifi requests>=2.32.2,<3 urllib3>=2.0.2,<3 websockets>=13.0 yt-dlp-ejs I have tested building with PyInstaller 6.16.0 from 3dyd (waiting for 6.17.0 now...) It can be done and it works, but it also requires a reinstall, because of the totally different contents of the zip file (link)... (and then also the ugly presence of `psapi.dll` in the root directory to make it work) TL;DR; as long as it works the old fashioned way, I'm hesitant to build with the "modern" PyInstaller on XP. 🤔 It's annoying that yt-dlp always wants the latest and "greatest". 😠

Microsoft Update offered me two suppsedly important updates for Office 2010 on Windows XP a couple of days ago, KB2863821 and KB4461522. They installed fine, but the next day I came to use Word, and it would not run, with the error message - Application popup: winword.exe - Entry Point Not Found : The procedure entry point GetDateFormatEx could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll. This was followed by "The operating system is not presently configured to run this application". I quickly found that no Office programs would now run, with the same error messages. I removed the two updates, and all returned to normal. I have no idea which of the updates caused the problem, and I haven't been offered either of them again so far, but if you are offered them, beware as they may well completely break your Office installation!

Sometimes all I can do is laugh at myself. I spent the better part of two days in Ghidra comparing/contrasting Chrome++ version 1.11.1 and version 1.13.3. I wanted either - a) restore 1.11.1's approach for launch_on_exit= to 1.13.3, or b) add 1.13.3's ability to add itself to Chrome/Chromium's "about" page to 1.11.1 And all that time in Ghidra DID SOLVE MY ISSUE. ie, here is Chrome v140's "about" page showing that Chrome++ version 1.11.1 is being used. Only then did I discover this and adding this MANUALLY as a command_line= option also works (and much easier than digging through Ghidra, lol).

I created Isuue. Now we just have to wait for the developer's response.

Hello Skorpios and modnar, Thank you very much for your feedback ! modnar said: "Same result in Serpent 52.9." The same result here with the latest version of St52.

Since it's so useful, should you give me a thumbs up?

Sorry I've been away for a while. I've reported the new topic error to xper the board owner. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

Confirmed With Mypal68 74.1.4 the item was added but I didn't continue with the purchase...

Thank you a bunch for spoiling us ... The new shared build runs OK here (Vista SP2 32-bit) ; compared to the previous Vista+ shared offering (ffmpeg-n8.1-dev-891-git-20251025-gdefd5f3), I see that below libs (rather, buildconfig flags) have been removed: --enable-cuda --enable-cuvid --enable-d3d12va --enable-nvenc --enable-ffnvcodec --enable-nvdec --enable-mediafoundation --enable-libvpx --enable-libaom --enable-librav1e --enable-libkvazaar --enable-libxavs --enable-vulkan --enable-libvvenc --enable-libcelt --enable-opencl This has reduced the size of the extracted archive by ca. 23 MiB (from 127 to just 104); really indebted! Best wishes.

You can "create" and start the process of a new topic, but it fails when you hit submit.

There isn't a way to show heart there afaik. Or is there a heart with native taskbar?

All Programs will load by default only if you have recent programs disabled and no apps pinned

I assume that @Zorba the Geek is looking for a client targeting Windows XP. However, your recommended email client Betterbird requires at least Windows 7 64bit.

@feodor2 released Mypal 74.1.4 some days ago. Today, I have installed it and made some tests. The good news: my favoured Alice0775 script loading method still seems to be working with this new version, without any additional modifications. The bad news: the Custom Buttons extension stopped working completely.

This may be of some use for Win XP users in today's world with Win XP being phased out more everyday ... this service is also listed to work with Windows 98 SE / ME also. I used it about 6 years ago myself and now am being forced to use it again in Oct 2025 to be able to get my Win XP computer on the internet with a VPN. The paid service I was using has finally cut off all Win XP connections. They warned two years ago it was coming and the service still works for my Windows 7 computer but I still mostly use my Win XP computer for everyday connecting. As I said above ... I used this free VPN about 6 years ago and I have hooked the XP computer up to the service again. I will say that they have really improved things and the service is great in 2025. Perhaps some of you know about it already but if not ... then you can check it out if you need a VPN for Win XP. https://www.vpngate.net/en/ https://www.vpngate.net/en/download.aspx VPN Gate - Public Free VPN Cloud by Univ of Tsukuba, Japan Welcome to VPN Gate.

You will figure all this out as you get familiar with the service. ...

I assume that you are talking about the version of Supermium in the 'Web Browsers / Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes' section. That version does not seem to be portable or am I wrong? I am using Win XP and would like a portable version that is Google free for Win XP. I found a version at Major Geeks: Download Supermium Portable - MajorGeeks / Supermium Portable 132.0.6834.226_R5.02 Date: 08/26/2025 Size: 192 MB License: Open Source Requires: 11|10|8|7|Vista|XP https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/supermium_portable.html Then at PortableApps.com: Supermium Portable 126.0.6478.261 R7 (web browser with legacy support) Released A new version of Supermium Portable has been released. Supermium is a web browser based on Chrome with legacy Windows support (XP/vista/7/8). https://portableapps.com/news/2025-01-27--supermium-portable-126.0.6478.261-R7-released and there appear to be at least a couple versions at Github ... but they seem to be only for Windows 7 and 8. I've been wanting to try Supermium for a year or so but just not sure which version to work with and if a portable version would work. In the Supermium topic in 'Web Browsers' there is never any talk of a portable version. Would that portable version at Major Geeks be OK to go with? ... I've read the talk about using only an 'ungoogled' version. Thanks ...

Thanks AS for the detailed explanation of the steps in setting up a new profile that you use. I will do the same ... it sounds like the way to go after reading your post. ...

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.

Everything works for me. The userscript Vorapis.user.js, the script patcher.user.js from the webextension, the webextension Project_VORAPIS_OBT_Test_0.8.10.26_(1727286007541).zip itself, the launcher webextension v3_get_old_youtube_layout-1.0.8.xpi and the legacy extension turbolauncher.xpi. The only issue I have is the missing suggestions in the YT search box while typing in UXP browsers.

Mute

rule P.S. I'm still faster

Edge is based on Chromium and closely follows the upstream changes, so no wonder.

I run it with all bloat removed, incuding d3d47 and LibGL. Of course no "doctor". Didn't you read the Trojan message? It says "damaged", not "missing".

Most importantly, how would you explain I can run the original 2044 perfectly fine, with or without my starter?

No, I didn't. I had it when I tried to mod the 64-bit version, which is not surprising. I wrote here yesterday, link>, I can run 2036 perfectly fine (with or without my starter). I just don't, it's too bright for me. On the testing Vista PC - no AV. The skin is yours, I ran it as it was supplied (before making the decission whether I like it or not). The grey colour in the error because I use the dark Vista theme from pinterest (it's very common here, on this website).

I can't start the browser, it says I need to check it for Trojan viruses (suggests Trojan scan). All in broken English. Not recommended to run for your "safe".

Interesting! How do you change the white colour folder background in Windows 8 (not 8.1)?

@Dave-H I agree to @maile3241. Only the three mentioned sites may be listed in your Trusted Zone. Otherwise http://fe2.update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en will be blocked. "Trusted Zone to high with only these three urls related to MU: http://www.update.microsoft.com, https://www.update.microsoft.com and http://update.microsoft.com. Disable in IE settings "Check for server certificate revocation"." And once again your problem is most likely caused by a not properly working Windows Update Agent. I will post a more detailed procedure published by Microsoft later.

And this is a certificate updater to get the most recent root certificates: https://msfn.org/board/topic/175170-root-certificates-and-revoked-certificates-for-windows-xp/?do=findComment&comment=1095349

@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.

@maile3241 Once more, thanks for your great help! Glad it works for you too and I could help a bit. It wasn't easy to find the cause of my error codes (I had a lot of them) but my guess to edit config.ini of HTTPSProxy was correct. I have checked a lot of registry entries and files. Now I have tested Microsoft Update site several times and it works flawlessly. It found one update missing and I could install it from there. See my screenshot https://imgur.com/oAO72vT

Thanks for very quick reply! I'm not getting "HTTP error 403 Forbidden" for both urls. I think you have to be in Germany to watch these streams due to terms of license . Maybe you can test it with a German VPN. I triied a German VPN and it works too. ffplay.exe of old legacy build ffmpeg-N-93674-g1e01f66-win32-static_legacy can play these streams without errors in Germany or using German VPN but using any new xpmod-sse builds no chance. In the command line log window I can see "skip...." endless lines. Then I got error message of windows. Maybe you want a log of these errors? It seems the new ones can't find audio streams and so on.

Hello, I use the FFmpeg for Windows XP builds to watch Live TV streams. Really nice work and thanks for that. But there is a problem. All new xpmod-sse builds work great and better than the old legacy ones except with Live streams of two German local channels ZDF and ZDFneo. The stream urls are https://zdf-hls-15.akamaized.net/hls/live/2016498/de/med/master.m3u8 and https://zdf-hls-16.akamaized.net/hls/live/2016499/de/med/master.m3u8. ffplay.exe of old legacy build ffmpeg-N-93674-g1e01f66-win32-static_legacy can play these streams without errors. Something must have changed by modifying I think. Any ideas? Thanks and regards

I posted a link to a specific comment with proof . Do you have proof ? I do not need to read that whole topic , I simply do not agree with the topic's OP , but I agree with the comment [made by another member] . Thanks but no thanks , I'm not going to use any of the firefox based browsers , BTW , this topic is about 360 Extreme explorer. Why would you write your forefox suggestions here ?

This kind of behaviour is present in any Chrome based browser and no one gives a d@mn. Any browser or OS these days is a huge keylogger , like Windows 7 , 8 , 10 , 11. I deleted (blocked) Web Data file in the default folder , forgot to say . It logs the websites I visit . What other files/folders can we safely block ?

Actually, they are old (the folders) , says ver. 28 . I don't use any translation in Chrome , yet it is still there. "Aside from the main HTTP cache, Chrome also use other folders which can take extra space": Application Cache - HTML5 Application Cache GPUCache - GPU shader cache IndexedDB - HTML5 Indexed Database Media Cache - Multimedia-optimized cache (audio and video clips) Local Storage / Session Storage - Web storage cache PnaclTranslationCache - Portable Native Client Translation Cache https://itectec.com/superuser/google-chrome-why-doesnt-chrome-respect-the-diskcachesize-policy/

You're welcome ! Over and out ...
