Strange, but it appears that the issue has completely resolved itself.

So I updated my Vista SP2 x64 to 2016, still no joy. Chromium for Windows 7 by e3kskoy7wqk starts with the same method! Ideas? I don't understand what else CatsXP wants, aren't those both made for win 7?

What for? It's obsolete, no matter how good it was 2 years ago. D.Draker no longer recommends this browser due to the age. https://msfn.org/board/topic/186346-i-moved-to-centbrowser-im-not-happy-about-it/page/5/#findComment-1275874

At least the acronym (BSoD) will still be valid, since both black and blue begin with the letter 'b' c

I think we have to take Shane's word for it that the patch has been applied to Supermium 132. As I said earlier, it's an ESR version, which surely should be capable of having the patch applied to it, as it should be fully supported until the next ESR version is released. I'm not sure how we can test whether the patch has been applied successfully or not.

Then it's a good idea to use the patched ungoogled for Server 2008 R2. No one knows and no one can guarantee how good and when the old 132 Supermium will (ever?) be patched for that serious vulnerability. https://github.com/e3kskoy7wqk/Chromium-for-windows-7/releases/tag/ungoogled-chromium_138.0.7204.96 Edit/ They say it's been patched in R5. But in the article they say the patch is for 138+! Contradictory. https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/releases/tag/v132-r5

That was clear, but from what they tell, looks like the patch is intended to be applied only to 138+. Who would write a patch for the old 132, while we are at 140+ already?

New release "74.1.0 New features added, some sites will be fixed New version number is 74 because addons like custumbuttons check it and breaks expecting xul things from 68 which has been removed." https://github.com/Feodor2/Mypal68/releases/tag/74.1.0 EDIT: "UPDATE 14.07.2025 Fixed bug about privace settings not shown" BTW, this release feels slower than the previous one...

... Huh, I see ... This is very puzzling, indeed ; in fact, the "yt-dl.org" domain now auto-redirects to yt-dlp GitHub URLs, e.g. https://yt-dl.org => https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp , which, of course, is a fork of the original youtube-dl project; I think dirkf doesn't have immediate access to the "yt-dl.org" server (wasn't that one blocked in Germany at some point?), so the answer about who arranged the autoredirection to yt-dlp might be possibly found inside the yt-dlp repo itself (too hot here currently for me to check, sorry ) ... I know; however, I have a small list of test commands I issue with fresh releases of both youtube-dl (nightly branch) and yt-dlp (your "Vista" compatible build) and that same list was used to test your 2025.07.11 compile; that was how I noticed the change in behaviour for " -vU" ... As I'm not proficient in Python (quite the opposite, in fact ), that was what I was about to suggest to you ; glad you got it sorted already ... The same with most "yt-dl.org" links contained inside: https://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/download.html I know ; I had already modified locally the latest "official" Nightly release (2025.05.05) according to your posted diff on GH; let's hope a py3.4 solution becomes available if evil Google start blocking Chrome > 97 UAs... Best regards !

They have. There's an "ancient" one called xoblite. It's kind of like using fluxbox on Windows instead of Linux. Check out the screenshots and you'll see what I mean. xoblite™ / Blackbox for Windows

@VistaLover That's because of line 37 in `./youtube_dl/update.py`. UPDATE_URL = 'https://yt-dl.org/update/' For some reason it redirects to: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/update/ ---> 404. In version 2025.06.26 (and previous versions) I had it set to: UPDATE_URL = 'https://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/update/' (also 404, by the way) My version is not supposed to be updated with `-U`. Do you perhaps have any idea how to change `update.py` for my fork to actually make it work with `-U`? [Edit] I think I managed to fix it. Took `update.py` from youtube-dl Nightly as an example. youtube-dl -vU [debug] System config: [] [debug] User config: ['--console-title', '--rm-cache-dir', '-i', '-o', '/dev/shm/test-ytd/%(title)s.%(ext)s', '-f', 'bestvideo[height<=1080][ext=mp4][vcodec^=avc]+bestaudio[ext=m4a]/best[ext=mp4]/best', '--no-mtime', '--embed-thumbnail', '--force-ipv4'] [debug] Custom config: [] [debug] Command-line args: ['-vU'] [debug] Encodings: locale UTF-8, fs utf-8, out utf-8, pref UTF-8 [debug] youtube-dl version 2025.07.12 [debug] Lazy loading extractors enabled [debug] Single file build [debug] Python 3.10.12 (CPython x86_64 64bit) - Linux-5.15.0-143-generic-x86_64-with-glibc2.35 - OpenSSL 3.0.2 15 Mar 2022 - glibc 2.35 [debug] exe versions: ffmpeg N-120171-g05094c1749-20250705, ffprobe N-120171-g05094c1749-20250705, rtmpdump 2.4 [debug] Proxy map: {} Latest version: 2025.07.12, Current version: 2025.07.12 youtube-dl is up to date (2025.07.12) Removing cache dir /home/nico/.cache/youtube-dl .. I also don't understand why @dirkf still hasn't updated the Installation section in the Readme. It's a complete mess. BTW, I've made a significant change to `./youtube_dl/utils.py`, as I suggested here. Youtube-dl actually works now.

Check out here. While it is still up, anyway :)

Normally the same as in the PCIe HD graphics card, e.g. AMD HD7450: Audio output from Intel CPU is over HDMI, DP or DVI (DVI only if in bios is function Audio over DVI and you need DVI > DP or DVI > HDMI cable:

The unofficial guide "How to get MyPal 68 working on Windows XP SP1!" is now available. This guide is made by me. This would be useful for Althon XP/Pentium III machines running Windows XP SP1, because Supermium does NOT support processors without SSE2 yet. https://sites.google.com/view/clara-incorporated/modernization/windows-xp-sp1/firefox-based-browsers/mypal-68 @feodor2and @roytam1

Okay. Your suggestion just worked for me as well as FindNextFileA works too when I got mypal68 to work on Windows XP SP1.

It appears that Windows Defender Updates may not work any longer without the Windows Update service enabled. Tried to enable the update service, and it worked. Turning off the service and trying to update Defender fails with an error now.

Version 138 is required for the fix; the bug goes back earlier though: Good catch. Google is being tight-lipped on exactly when this vulnerability crept in. I doubt it goes all the way back to 2008, though. Today's V8 looks nothing like the original. I believe (and should have said) versions prior to the V8 optimizer are not vulnerable. I suspect 360EE (and Kafan MiniBrowser) aren't vulnerable because the option to turn off the optimizer isn't there (presumably because there's nothing to turn off), but I can't be sure with the limited info we have.

The alternative forum is now available. It is located here: https://tripredacus.net/forum/index.php This forum is actively managed by myself and has public status sections for the three websites that I am providing temporary forums for. The fallback boards are not visible to the public and are not segregated, meaning if you can see a board, you can post in it if you want. The sections will always be open, even if the hosted site has an Up status such as MSFN currently does. This forum is not intended to, nor can it replace MSFN. It is also not meant to be a replacement for other unmanaged or unofficial meatup destinations such as any Discord channels, Steam or Facebook groups. It simple is a place to go in case there is a problem or you want to get info about whatever might be happening. This is not an indication that there is any longevity issue with MSFN. The forum rules are not MSFN's rules, with the exception that discussion about circumventing MSFN rules 1 are not allowed. UK/EU members make sure you read the end of the Registration Agreement. Whether you decide to register on it or not is up to you. This post is just to make you aware that it exists. You choose your own level of involvement. If you decide to register, you should edit your profile to put your MSFN name as it explains in the appropriate profile field. Doing so will cause a MSFN icon appear on your info card if you post in a thread.

I'm glad you like my article. Creating it and making the HTTPSProxies more future-proof was a pleasure for me as a die-hard fan of Windows XP.

Unlike in your country Armenia, in France sellers are under certain obligations before the customers, for example: they can't refuse to serve basic needs items like soap, condoms, cosmetics, refrigerators, etc. As for the Chanel bags I was going to buy, unfortunately, they can because they belong to the luxury segment. So no, he can't put deadbolts because he registered as a seller and owns a website that he must maintain in accordance with the French laws. And if we speak about that site in particular, the laws of Quebec, which aren't that different because they are an off-spring from France.

He lied to you, the owner simply put the slider to the "maximum protection". Again, Cloudflare could care less what the owner chooses.

The owner of the website determines what level of "protection" is used, not Cloudflare. Cloudflare simply gives the tools to the owner.

Ok. I was able to improve a bit my custom button for calling up the "Manage Cookies and Site Data" window. Both, the about:preferences#privacy and three seconds later the desired dialogue are now loaded in the same chrome window which avoids an additional loading of a tab. Nevertheless, I hope that there is a better solution yet. As custom buttons are actually the topic of this thread, I have decided to post about this stuff here again. My project of creating a custom button to directly call up the "Manage Cookies and Site Data" dialogue in Mypal 68 seems to have come to a temporary end. It works perfectly. I have solved the issues encountered in my own way and I am currently in testing mode. Here is a short preview:

Wow! The interest in Comodo security programmes seems to be huge.

SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition works absolutely fine here. No issues. No DLL problems. I can access all features. I think your system is the causer. You can alternatively try the installer version 10.0.1250 as this version was the one before incompatibilities with the programme appeared the first time. BTW, I have been using SUPERAntiSpyware since 2007 without any serious issues. So, please check your system first before posting issues one can't confirm!

As "downstream", i.e. @roytam1, does not intend to solve this problem in Serpent as he already stated, you will inevitably have to wait until "upstream", i.e. @basilisk-dev, offers a fix. Or, you can do what I always do when a page in New Moon 28 doesn't work on Windows XP. Try the site in question under Mypal 68, and if that doesn't help, under a Chromium Win XP port like 360Chrome or Thorium! BTW, you simply cannot expect that everything you want to call up in a browser will work in Serpent. This will never be the case.

I will check my registry entries when I am back at my desktop computer. Thanks for the heads up!

TBH, I don't think that any website operator is still interested in compatibility problems of an unsupported and rather unknown browser like Serpent on an operating system like Windows XP that has not been supported for a long time. So don't expect an answer or support!

Thanks for replying! The last official Chrome which supported Windows XP was the version 49.0.2623.112. I think I have a copy of it in my archive. In any case, I will check if the hardware acceleration worked at all in this version on my hardware and report here.

Folks, please use only English words (or say Dutch, German, French words, but only those that are currently/officially used in English) Like "grab" (Dutch word), for example. The ones that can be found in English vocabularies!

Done! https://msfn.org/board/topic/186225-change-a-letter-game-part-ii/?do=findComment&comment=1266415

FYI, my toggle buttons can easily be modified to switch other Boolean preferences. I explained it in the corresponding posts. TBH, there is nothing to be changed in the button's code. I think you rather mean changing the selected preferences which you want to control. This is to be done in the main user interface window of Pref Toggler via the button "Edit List". That's good to hear. Thanks for your feedback!

Did you also try different user agents on this website?

You will only know whether these custom buttons are compatible with @roytam1's browsers or not when trying to install them and checking their functionality. Most of these custom buttons are very old. Unfortunately, many of them don't work in Firefox 52 based browsers any longer. They would have to be fixed if possible at all. I personally use only those which are fully functional. My self-created custom buttons have been developed for UXP based browsers and are compatible with @roytam1's browsers and most probably with Pale Moon, too. I even managed some of them to also work in Mypal 68. Have a look here: https://msfn.org/board/topic/183657-mypal-68-in-windows-xp-custom-buttons-and-extensions/?do=findComment&comment=1229639 The more universal the JavaScript coding of these custom buttons, the more compatible. And you have to target only functions which are supported in all browsers. That's why only a few of the old custom buttons can be used in Mypal 68.

Probably they implemented some anti-hack feature, in addition to limiting youtube's videos frequently posted by some members?
