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.

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

This thread is about @roytam1's browsers targeting legacy OSes. And that means even browsers under Windows 7 and Windows 8 as they are also legacy in the meanwhile. But I think @Zorba the Geek is looking for a solution under Windows XP.

I COMPLETELY agree @VistaLover. By the way, you really did a complete job in your above assessment. I'm also grateful to what @K4sum1 gave us. But I also need to look after my needs. While I hate that we have a Google-fied web, I've stopped worrying about the implications of all of the privacy issues we face. It's not that I disagree with the level of concern, but it's that we REALLY can do nothing about it. I need to perform online banking, watch and help produce videos on YouTube, use WebRTC to voice traffic reports, and take part in Zoom meetings, Google Meet and Teams Meetings, and apply for work; all which basically NECESSITATES providing a good chunk of personal information to proceed. I don't agree with the corporate tactics, but I must continue to function. It was indeed K4Sum1's project, as Pale Moon was Moonchild's. What I feel these visionary types (who admittedly deserve a lot of credit for their work), fail to realize is that those that make up their user base are CONSUMERS or CUSTOMERS. Now Moonchild and his "moonie minions" VEHEMENTLY disagree with that. But customers are not just defined as those providing monetary exchange to a company or corporation for a product. They can be those who provide voluntary stake to a company, or mission. So in this way, those who co-develop alongside Moonchild, those who provide add-ons, those who beta test, and YES even those who simply (and regularly) USE Pale Moon, are indeed customers and stakeholders. When someone creates a project, and it attracts users to the resulting product, such as in K4Sum1's r3dFox, expectations begin to be developed. No matter if these expectations are right or wrong for the userbase to behold, they are real, and the developer needs to contend with them. Those are simply the facts. K4Sum1 provided a way for me to use Windows 8 on an extended basis, and you become reliant on that. When K4Sum1 understandably says, "I'm just not feeling it", it doesn't incite a favourable response among the userbase. Fair? Perhaps not, but it's a very real sentiment. @K4sum1, I genuinely hope you are OK.

I didn't realise there were so many still using SP2 (why?). I will consider building the next version with PyInstaller 5.13.2 again. But do note, that in the future that may not be possible any more, due to the changes they make. Consider upgrading to SP3. In the meantime, here is a build that should work on SP2. @davidz, Do you really mean you're on SP3? Because in my SP3 machine (VM), 2025.12.06.064237 works fine: [debug] Command-line config: ['-v'] [debug] User config "C:\Documents and Settings\Nico\Application Data\yt-dlp\config.txt": ['--rm-cache-dir', '--console-title', '--add-metadata', '--embed-thumbnail', '--convert-thumbnails', 'jpg', '--js-runtimes', 'quickjs', '--ppa', 'ffmpeg:-metadata synopsis=""', '-o', '~/Bureaublad/%(title)s.%(ext)s', '-S', 'res:1080,vcodec:avc,acodec:m4a', '--sponsorblock-remove', 'all', '-N', '6'] [debug] Encodings: locale cp1252, fs utf-8, pref cp1252, out cp1252 (No VT), error cp1252 (No VT), screen cp1252 (No VT) [debug] yt-dlp version nicolaasjan/yt-dlp@2025.12.06.064237 (winXP_x86_exe*) [debug] Python 3.11.4 (CPython x86 32bit) - Windows-XP-5.1.2600-SP3 (OpenSSL 3.5.2 5 Aug 2025) [debug] exe versions: ffmpeg N-121824-g775b102182-WINXP (fdk,setts), ffprobe N-121824-g775b102182-WINXP, phantomjs 1.9.8 [debug] Optional libraries: Cryptodome-3.23.0, brotli-1.2.0, certifi-2025.11.12, mutagen-1.47.0, requests-2.32.5, sqlite3-3.50.4, urllib3-2.6.0, websockets-15.0.1, yt_dlp_ejs-0.3.1 [debug] JS runtimes: quickjs-2025-09-13 [debug] Proxy map: {} [debug] Request Handlers: urllib, requests, websockets [debug] Plugin directories: none [debug] Loaded 1853 extractors Removing cache dir C:\Documents and Settings\Nico/.cache\yt-dlp ..

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.

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

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

The problem with posting new topics should now be fixed.

Thanks as always to a thoughtful writeup. I'll add my own slight additions. I myself have not "installed" any software for the better part of two decades, I do as much as possible via PORTABLE applications. PortableApps.com popularized the use of portable software. They began in 2006. WinPenPack has actually been around for slightly longer (by mere months, not years). You go even further back (by years) when you include those of us with familiarity to UNIX. With regard to associations with protocols/files/applications, portable software isn't really about not having these associations, but rather having exact and precise finite control of these associations. This PRECISE CONTROL is really only limited by the user's own intentions/imagination. You really can have this PRECISE CONTROL be as simple or as complex as your heart desires. Your "host system" does NOT have to have *ANY* 'default browser' associations, no txt file associations, no ini associations, no pdf associations, no mkv/avi/mp4 associations. NO ASSOCIATIONS of any kind. But you can mix-and-match to your heart's content. Associate 'browser' protocols (http/https/ftp, for example) to all use Firefox *ONLY IF* PortableApps PLATFORM is running in the systray. But roll those ftp protocols over to something like CuteFTP *ONLY* if LiberKey is running in the systray. Split your media file associations so that audio files divert to VLC Player, mkv files divert to PotPlayer, mp4 files divert to Media Player Classic, and avi files divert to TEncoder Video Converter. "Portable" really can be as simple or as complex as you "need it to be".

IIRC, the "nonsetup" zip versions were created for "special" cases (namely WinXP machines without all SPs and/or partially updated), where the provided ".exe" installers wouldn't run; FTR, the first "*_nonsetup.zip" release asset saw the light of day with the 124-r4 release: https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/releases/tag/v126-r4 As posted by NHTPG, these are NOT "portable" packages; Supermium "portable" packages were once offered as part of a paid for Patreon subscription: https://www.patreon.com/posts/supermium-122-r2-103469536 If you don't mind the registry being written to, a simplistic "portable" approach would be to write a "Sm-Portable.cmd" batch file: place it adjacent to Sm's main executable (chrome.exe) and ALWAYS launch Sm via that (you can alternatively create a Windows shortcut with the same cmdline args) ; be mindful: "portable" apps are NOT meant to be associated with other protocols/files/applications etc. ...

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.

Yes. Install it from the Mozilla Add-ons page! For example the British English Dictionary (the only real English ): https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/british-english-dictionary-2/ Here is a screenshot taken from my Mypal 74.1.4 installation:

Understood, but @Tripredacus was consulted on this occasion, and agreed that no further action was needed in this case. That will not always be the case of course.

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

Once again, learning a lot! I don't use R3dFox to watch DRM comment, so I didn't even realize R3dfox had disabled DRM. As you say, shades of Pale Moon. All the niche browsers combined aren't going to force YouTube et al. to abandon it! And I agree that the correct way to deal with the issue is to leave the DRM supporting code in the browser, and just disable it with a pref, which can then be re-enabled by the user if desired. Finally, I do consider VMP evil, and understand that niche browsers like R3dFox will never support VMP. But as long as there are sites that impose DRM but don't require VMP, we should still be allowed to access those sites. All that said, though, I still appreciate having R3dFox on my "ancient" Win 7 PC and will keep using it for the ever-increasing number of Web sites that flummox Serpent.

The redfox-old GitHub repo was (also) archived today, but this was probably to be expected; no clue as to why its successor suffered the same fate today ... As for the Eclipse Board , they mention "Temporary maintenance" (stress on "temporary" is mine ) ... That ; and those "proposals" did materialise into a Librewolf-ification of r3dfox that many, myself included, never asked for ... As @Jody Thornton put it, ... and I'll add Vista SP2 to the OS mix above ; yes, close to "stock" Firefox but with the ability to launch on older WinOSes! This is what most site admins expect, this is what most extension authors expect and target... I was never part of the "extreme web privacy" crowd to demand a change of route towards Librewolf (or similar forks); I understand a small portion of the LW code was needed to address a specific r3dfox technical issue, but that is different to incorporating large chunks of LW code "while we're at it" ... As if it wasn't enough to deal with Mozilla "breaking" things (and locking down the browser) with each major version update, an "average" r3dfox user has to deal with "r3dfox-specific" changes, too (ones that not always meet with said user's "approval") ... And my own words on DRM/EME: I found r3dfox maintainer's "obsession" about DRM simply "blown out of proportion"; he goes to extreme lengths to disable EME at buildtime, but the browser itself provides an easy way to disable EME at runtime, if one objects to it for whatever ideological reason... Let's face it; with Google practically owning the Web, they have leveraged the use of their own CDM (Widevine) in most media services, even the most obscure, but still free, ones... Yes, I totally understand the argument about "black-boxed code" etc., but DRM has become a necessary evil in the web era of 2025 and beyond... A lot of focus has been put on the VMP (Verified Media Path) requirement associated with the majority of the prominent/commercial DRM'ed Video+Audio services (e.g. Netflix, Disney+, Paramount+, Spotify, Tidal, Apple Music, etc.) as a reason NOT to implement DRM on r3dfox (because VMP entails a very large sum of money, paid to Google, for certifying the browser for VMP purposes), but what about the rest of the lesser known services that don't impose VMP with DRM? Jody's example of https://www.cp24.com/now/ is such a case, there are many others... The whole thing kind of reminds me, in some twisted way, of Moonchild and his own browser, Pale Moon, where he vehemently refused to implement DRM of any kind; but while Basilisk was still his, he allowed the DRM functionality inherited from his FxESR-52 forkpoint to stay enabled; that is, until the point he could no longer shoehorn-in upstream (Mozilla) DRM patches and, one day, DRM in Basilisk was declared such a big Evil that had to be completely excised! (NB: Latest Widevine CDM (a .dll) needs Win8+ to properly function; on Vista/Win7, some wrapper DLLs (e.g. borrowed from the Supermium project ) are actually needed to make it work there (and only on non-VMP services)). I believe so; he probably had a "hissy fit" and decided to "now I'll show you all", or I could be totally wrong and the GitHub repo archival was an inadvertent mishap ... ... You can count me as one (though I did not post in that thread...). Personally, I'll stick to older r3dfox-140.0.4; it will become my new "KafanMiniBrowser" for GitHub; I'm not that concerned about security patches, as long as GH works there (and it'll continue to work until 140esr becomes deprecated), I'll keep using it... In closing, I'm not being entitled or ungrateful towards the r3dfox author; huge thanks from my side for what he has offered to me over the last two years or so ...

@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.

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.) ...

@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.

Hi, I just make a nice hack. I get a lot of Arduino nano for 67 Cent from China. They work under Win10 but not under XP SP3, "Unknown USB device". I use the Arduino IDE ver. 1.8.9 portable, means no installation. It has the exotic USB serial VID_0843&PID_5740. So, I take the win7 driver STM32_vcp_driver.zip from STMicroelectronics which has funny VID_0483&PID_5740. There I edit just the stmcdc.inf file only at this part ;------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ; VID/PID Settings ;------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [DeviceList.NT] %DESCRIPTION%=DriverInstall,USB\VID_0843&PID_5740 [DeviceList.NTamd64] %DESCRIPTION%=DriverInstall,USB\VID_0843&PID_5740 Right click on this modded stmcdc.inf "install", and voila, this Arduino nano clone from China works perfect under XP SP3 Dietmar

The way that I do it, it does not matter if there is a portable version or not - *ALL* Chrome/Chromium-based browsers 'can be made' portable Just replace the "bin" folder with the Supermium files that you want to turn into a portable version. You can start with anything that is already portable (360Chrome, PortableApps, WinPenPack, the list is endless).

Well the forks do. Not the standard product. And there are other applications other than browsers that have challenges. Anyway, all good

I haven't used these extensions for years. All modifications are done by me manually inside extensions themselves if they need to be fixed. And that means I am not interested in these two extensions at all. They are of no use to me.

I can't imagine that pref. doing anything at all if multiprocess move is disabled, so I strongly suspect either it is your imagination, or else you do actually have multiprocess mode enabled. The pref. you cited is not the only way to enable it: You can check whether multiprocess mode is, in fact, enabled by clicking Help / Troubleshooting and scrolling down to "Multiprocess Windows." If the first number is anything but zero, it's enabled. Already done: https://github.com/JustOff/moon-tester-tool (by the author of the Classic Add-Ons Archive himself) and https://github.com/Nebula-Mechanica/serpent-tester-tool. But to be fair, these extensions are themselves several years old, so they probably need to be updated. ... Any volunteers? @AstroSkipper?

The update "WINDOWS2000-OTSKB000001-V7-X86-INTL.exe" has been released to the general public. The help file "OTSKB.chm" and the code comparison file "code.htm" have been updated accordingly. --- There will probably be a slight update for Windows XP users, soon (WINDOWSXP-OTSKB000001-V2-X86-INTL.exe). --- things to do: Windows XP + Windows Embedded for Point of Service update: add the version "5.1.2601.0001-V2" of the file "win32k.sys" to "code.htm" (edit: done) add the update "Windows XP/OTSKB000001-V2" to the help file write the update test it release it Windows Server 2003 update: add the version "5.2.3790.6946" of the file "win32k.sys" to "code.htm" add the version "5.2.3791.0001-V1" of the file "win32k.sys" to "code.htm" add the update "Windows Server 2003/OTSKB000001-V1" to the help file write the update test it release it Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 update: add the version "5.1.2600.7684" of the file "win32k.sys" to "code.htm" add the version "5.1.2602.0001-V1" of the file "win32k.sys" to "code.htm" add the update "Windows Embedded POSReady 2009/OTSKB000001-V1" to the help file write the update test it release it

Very strange! WSUS server + WUMT was the first method which worked without any problems from the first time I tried. Yes, it's the same.

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.

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.

@maile3241 Oh man, dllcache is a subfolder of system32 folder.

@maile3241 Of course you can. Copy new code, mark this region with your mouse and paste new code, But do not change other bits. Check after patching if only these ten digits have changed. It's the most simple thing.

@maile3241 At offset EC84, replace 83F89D7508 by 3BC0EB3290. But first check if code 83F89D7508 matches exactly in your file.

@maile3241 Have you already checked if at offset EC84 of your file this code 83F89D7508 matches? You always say the same but you give less information about what you have tried. Use an hexeditor like WinHex and look inside! If code matches then you can patch outside of system32 without any problems.

@maile3241 Where is it missing? In my third step I already wrote to add it to Trusted zone of IE. Maybe a little bit more explanation, please!

@ExtremeGrief Sorry, I should do nothing. I am not the author of these packages and patches. I am a user like you and have examined my problems by restoring MU. This little guide some posts above is the result of my examinations to help other users. And once again I "should" do nothing. But you should reflect on how to speak to a member. First read the whole thread and then you will understand.

@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.

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
