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)

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.

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

StartAllBack 3.9.19

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 ...

@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.

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

@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.

Of course the 10th of March 2021. I'll send you missing certificates as soon as possible. I think they aren't unique, only made for my system. They are from Microsoft. And try method "Turning back time" at all costs! But now Microsoft Update isn' t working anymore. You have to check all including status of all services. And please send me your screenshots listed by ServiWin. Comparing with help of your log file is too tiring.

@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 Do you want me to upload these missing certificates via PM or not? Your decision. By the way I found out that on platform imgur images in jpg format have a bad quality due to strong compression. Therefore here a link of my two screeshots of all Microsoft services existing in my system listed by ServiWin but more readable plus all services in a txt file: https://www.mediafire.com/file/odq8y7iyx7i5kdf/Microsoft_services_-_AstroSkipper.7z/file

@Dave-H Due to the fact that the Microsoft service HTTP-SSL was disabled in your system I think it is a good idea to compare our Microsoft services and their status generally to be sure all necessary system services are still working. There might be some services not being essential but anyway in my system Microsoft Update is working properly. To do that download the tool ServiWin 1.71 from NirSoft. Here is the homepage link: https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/serviwin.html and here the download link: https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/serviwin.zip. It's portable so there is nothing to install. I've taken two screeshots of all Microsoft services existing in my system listed by ServiWin. Columns with German description have been faded out. So it's much easier for comparing. Here they are: https://imgur.com/az67Jo6 and https://imgur.com/bIQ2jIN.

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.

... 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".

The problem is, the same happens with multiple types of SSD, on multiple HP z210 CMT workstations. The users reported significantly longer boot times when compared to other computers. To be more precise, users reported computer malfunctions. When compared to standard HDD, computers with SSD took much more time to go through the blank (black) screen phase. Since other computers were faster in the same boot phase, the assumptiom was made the workstation with SSD were faulty, so workers started to power off the workastation with SSDs to fix the problem. After investigation, it came to light, the workstations with SSD took about a minute of black screen time, when workstations with HDD did the same in less than 10 seconds. After informing the workers about the extended wait time, the power cycling and computer failure reports stopped. All workstations have the same specifications, except hard drives, and monitors. The system partitions were cloned, so they do have the same drivers. After cloning system it is visible the HDD boot is longer (3m 22s). But with each sequential boot the time goes shorter. On the other hand SSD is faster first (1m 42s) but the time does not improve significantly, after that. All workstations are not using Microsoft Account. In any case, both SSD and HDD workstations would take the same time with the MSA and OneDrive, probably. There is no domain logging, as well. It all came to light with SSD and HDD mixed enviroment. In a different location all workstations are fitted with SSD, so there is no time difference between them. So workers assumed long boot time is normal behavior, probably. I will have to check how they are performing on boot, when I have an opportunity to be there.

@nicolaasjan: Sunday is Nov 30th, 2025, thus I believe you'll be having a "hot potato" in your hands : https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/9149#issuecomment-3036991021 [build] Bump PyInstaller minimum version requirement to 6.17.0 https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/commit/280165026886a1f1614ab527c34c66d71faa5d69 For the Vista+(aka Win7) builds, your PyInstaller fork v6.17 came just in time : https://github.com/nicolaasjan/pyinstaller-builds/releases/tag/6.17.0 ... but what about those WinXP "onedir" packages which, IIANM, are still using PyInstaller-5.13.2 due to this ? (you can always revert 2801650 prior to the onedir compilation for XP, but how practical would that be in the long run? ...)

Nope. I run v140 (OT to Supermium but you did specifically call out "all Chrome variants", so it seems this time that OT = On Topic) and the Recently Closed Tabs is dead-on accurate. I've never had to use the Hamburger for the purpose of recent history.

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!

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.

This time I agree, the engine is too bloody old anyways. Don't waste time.

I strongly advise against any type of tests on any allegedly dying HDD, especially if we know the disk is from the Deathstar 2.0 family. From what I understood, @Cixertalready run chkdsk. CHKDSK is basically a death sentence for those disks, last nail in the coffin.

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.

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?

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.

Ok. As far as I can see, my Intel Pentium 4 Northwood 2.8GHz 32-bit has a higher operating frequency than your Intel Atom 1.6GHz. In all other categories, your CPU is better than mine. L1/L2 cache, thermal values, instruction sets and so on. And you use DDR2-RAM which is much faster than the old, slow SD-RAM I use. Furthermore, I assume your Intel Atom CPU supports Hyper-Threading technology, my CPU does not. Even your Intel GMA 950 graphics is more efficient than my NVIDIA GeForce 6200 AGP 4x (8x is not supported on my motherboard). And as we all know, the operation frequenzy is difficult to compare regarding completely different processors, i.e., a higher frequenzy value does not necessarily mean a higher performance. BTW, which Intel Atom CPU is it? N270? All in all, I think your old Acer is faster than my old computer.

In my system with 1.5 GB RAM, every single megabyte counts. 350 to 450 MB is then a huge amount of RAM.

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".

@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 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.

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.

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/

This is sponsored by Russia to scare us so we will stop usung nuclear energy and buy from them . It's that simple. Look at the countries that got rid of their nuclear power , they are all depend on russia's supplies (Germany , etc). What next ? Right , energy crisis and super high prices, like this year . What next ? Anything , inluding war . I'm glad France still has plenty of nuclear power left . Even though I agree it's not 100% safe and scary , it's not scarier than to be russia's pet . Don't forget , France is the World's super power . Vive la France ! About the toxic waste , read articles , they are sent to russia , ha ha .

I' sorry for the late reply , got busy . It's in the main folder User Data , right beside the Default. Also, other folders there : FontLookupTableCache , PnaclTranslationCache (what is this ?) , ShaderCache. Do you have them too and , most importantly , do we need them , thanks & sorry again.

OMG ! Seriously !?!? Instead of translating a couple of words , you've started to argue !? It's not about "what you guess", it's about common politeness and respect. Enough of off-topic replies , I got that the first time , you don't want to translate , fine , just calm down and stop. Thanks.

Out of respect to the others , who may wanted to help , and the rules of the English forum. Also, it didn't say that you were addressing win32 only.

@Roytam Hello Roytam, great job you are doing here. Thanks for keeping Win XP alive! I don't know whether you already have noticed your host o.rthost.cf is not accessible. Hope it isn't a serious problem. Best regards

Hello heinoganda, thanks for your reply. I've got no update officially offered through Microsoft Update. Can you send me your german installer MSEInstall.exe or provide a download link? Thanks and regards
