At the beginning of my Odyssey, I investigated all folders and registry keys belonging to Panda Dome. Therefore, I also found the location of these background images. Additionally, I analyzed the registry accesses of Panda Dome, in particular with regard to the background images. But I have not yet identified the core of the problem. Unfortunately, it is in my nature to solve problems. The pictures are totally unimportant, but I still have to solve the problem. Especially if it works in my other partition. But in any case, thanks for your efforts!

Revo Uninstaller 2.4.5 is the last free version for Windows XP which is offered as an installer and a portable release. You can get it here: https://www.revouninstaller.com/version-history/. Revo Uninstaller Pro 3.2.1 (installer/portable) is the last paid version for Windows XP. It's a very important tool to get rid of remnants regarding antivirus/antimalware programmes.

I got a reply from Adlice to the supprt ticket I filed in terms of RogueKiller: So what was posted here has been confirmed. RogueKiller's real-time protection was never designed for older operating systems such as Windows XP. But at least we have a scanner that still runs on Windows XP in the latest version.

@nicolaasjan I have attempted to make compatible 64-bit OpenSSL shared libraries using MSYS2. If you would like to test them.

Per abbodi1406, https://github.com/abbodi1406/vcredist#windows-xp-notice Direct link: https://download.visualstudio.microsoft.com/download/pr/566435ac-4e1c-434b-b93f-aecc71e8cffc/0D59EC7FDBF05DE813736BF875CEA5C894FFF4769F60E32E87BD48406BBF0A3A/VC_redist.x86.exe MDL forums reference: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/repack-visual-c-redistributable-runtimes-2020-11-10.76588/page-27#post-1630817 I can confirm that the installer is dual-signed (both SHA1+SHA256), thus it can be verified on XP SP3 (which ONLY supports SHA1 file signatures). As for the installer of version 14.29.30139.0 referenced in the "community.pcgamingwiki.com" site, this has the direct link below (courtesy of abbodi1406): https://download.visualstudio.microsoft.com/download/pr/b929b7fe-5c89-4553-9abe-6324631dcc3a/4C6C420CF4CBF2C9C9ED476E96580AE92A97B2822C21329A2E49E8439AC5AD30/VC_redist.x86.exe but it is only SHA256-signed, so I'm not sure if its signature can be verified under XP SP3 : Just my 2c ...

Just running the proxy in the background doesn't mean it is also used by a programme. What I meant is whether you're running ProxHTTPSProxy system-wide or not. In any case, Panda Dome has to use the proxy. Thats why I had to configure Panda Dome to use it, however, for activation only.

First of all, thanks for uploading the files! I was surprised to learn that there is supposed to be a .NET Framework version 4.0.30320 for Windows XP. I couldn't find anything about it in any official source. In any case, your installer "Microsoft .NET 4.0.30320 Full" is the same one I have, and it has the number 4.0.30319.1. Presumably, at least for Windows XP, there is no version 4.0.30320. You can find out your current version installed with the following command: reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full" /v Version The MS Visual C++ 2010 SP1 (10.0.40219.473) installer is indeed the last one you can still get from Microsoft or from abbodi1406. I will try later. In any case, thanks again!

As part of my work on ytBATCH, I have investigated many ffmpeg releases that are supposed to be compatible with Windows XP. These include, for example, the releases from @Reino, sherpya and @autodidact. The relatively new ones from @Reino and @autodidact work well with YouTube. But when it comes to TV streams, it's a completely different story. Their latest ones in particular have considerable problems with TV stream URLs. On my old Windows XP computer, negative performance changes are immediately apparent. FFmpeg 3.4.1 from 2017 is too old and can no longer access TV stream addresses. The newer releases 7.1 from 2024 and 8.1 from 2025 require much more CPU power than before. They are therefore problematic for older, weak Windows XP computers. That's why I still have been using ffmpeg releases from 2019 for TV stream addresses.

that had to be said. And yes, you were absolutely right. At least, Adlice's support has replied quite quickly. In contrast to that I haven't heard from Panda's support for weeks. Seems to be non-existent.

The interface can't load their background images. Today, I have replaced the version 20.02.01 by 21.01.00 for better comparison with Panda Dome 21.01.00 on my other Windows XP partition. In the latter, Panda Dome 21.01.00 runs fine. Unfortunately, I also had other issues with the version 21.01.00 I already posted here. I really hope that these hourly service restarts won't happen again.

Thank you very much for the new screenshots! Now, I can see all your 90 entries in terms of Microsoft .NET Framework 4. Hope it will help me to find more missing updates for fixing Panda Dome.

Well it's good to have that confirmed, but I'm afraid it makes RogueKiller useless to me.

Fair enough, as long as the conversation is kept directly relevant to the use of Panda Dome on XP, or indeed any other AV program. Sorry, I have now realised that the details of the .NET 4 updates on Revo Uninstaller are not with the actual installation records, as they are called 'Security Update for....' so appear in a different place in the list! Here they all are, enjoy! The last two images have duplicated entries. Why they all seem to have the same installation date i'm not sure, I don't remember doing an OS reinstallation in February 2019!

I always post on-topic. You should actually know that. And Panda Dome needs Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 to run at all under Windows XP. My issues could be related to that. So, I need this information to fix issues with my Panda Dome installation. And I had several issues with this anti-malware programme. Thanks for your screenshot but unfortunately, it is not really helpful since there is no complete list of all updates. I need only detailed information about Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 in terms of Panda Dome. So what could be more on-topic than that? In my thread, all things related to security programmes under Windows XP are definitely on-topic. I am always happy to help others, but now I need some help in the form of detailed information. Strictly according to the principle: manus manum lavat.

I don't have Revo Uninstaller Pro, only the free version, but will this do? Putting my moderator's hat on, I have to say that any prolonged discussion about POSReady updates, C++ Runtime versions, or .NET versions, would be of course off-topic for this thread. I know I've been guilty of posting off-topic remarks here myself recently, but if this is now likely to be a prolonged discussion, it needs to be in a new thread please. Cheers, Dave.

Seeking suggestions to improve video streaming experience. 1) ability to save presets specific to Computer A's speakers, Computer B's speakers, and Computer C's speakers 2) ability to prevent things like action movie LOUD scenes from being TOO LOUD 3) should work on multiple web sites (ie, not YouTube-only types of extensions) My current config uses two extensions that work decent for the most part. But one of the two extensions (Audio Compressor) has a tendency to LOCK UP (video freezes and/or stutters) and needs disabled/re-enabled quite frequently. Re-enabling also requires the streaming video web site to be reloaded. Currently using Audio Compressor version 0.1.28 in conjunction with Ears Audio Toolkit version 1.3.12. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/audio-compressor/daomidlfpcfjchpalpjogmnhabkekbnn?hl=en https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/Ears: Bass Boost%2C EQ Any Audio!/nfdfiepdkbnoanddpianalelglmfooik

As far as I noticed, Panda seems to automatically update the programme only if it is too old. The version 21.01.00 wasn't updated on my system. OTH, the version 18.07.04 was updated to 20.02.01 which, however, isn't the most recent.

I asked that as the most recent version of Panda Dome is actually 23.00.00.

Are you running ProxHTTPSProxy in the background by default? And if so, in which mode? I had to configure Panda Dome to use the proxy. Which version is your Panda Dome Essential of?

Of course, I know. Did you also have to use ProxHTTPSProxy for the activation of Panda Dome?

Seeing you've included my 'libcrypto-3.dll' and 'libssl-3.dll' within your 'Python311_XP-folder.7z', I guess that's my confirmation.

... Well then, not wanting to "burst anyone's bubbles" , but, perhaps, Adlice's "idea" of WinXP support is just what has been confirmed so far by your (and AstroSkipper's) tests: on-demand manual scans, only (i.e., you still need a Win7+ OS and a paid-for licence for real-time-protection to be effective); on a side note, Adlice's homepage doesn't breathe much confidence to me ; it appears they couldn't be bothered to change the copyright year to the current value: https://www.adlice.com/roguekiller/ And, FWIW, the support forum (intended to help users of the "free" version) has been turned into read-only mode: https://forum.adlice.com/index.php?topic=3890.0

thats ICU update, I wonder if upstream encounter same issue or not, or I "enbugged" when backporting pre-NT6 changes. from Bad Request URL above, some dates becoming "Invalid Date" and I need a minimal code to reproduce it.

I assume that the ransomware protection won't work in any RogueKiller version under Windows XP. Same as it was in Malwarebytes Premium 3.5.1.

What is much worse is that an existing installation is rendered unusable by updating the signatures. That is an outrage.

... Not only that, but the "DOWNLOAD" button on the linked website is NO LONGER clickable ; even worse, the download link you had previously archived, https://www.escanav.com/en/antivirus-downloadlink/downloadcounter.asp?pcode=MWAV&src=english_dwn&type=alter now returns: ... What a total scam !

You can't directly find such links on their homepage. I checked the current links and replaced the file name to the one I wanted. Here is a link to their portable 32-bit version 15.19.2.0: https://cloud.adlice.com/owncloud/index.php/s/QE2fq4D24A1IKEb/download?path=15.19.2.0&files=RogueKiller_portable32.exe.

@AstroSkipper Where can I get hold of RogueKiller 15? All the links bring version 16, which you say doesn't work on XP. I'd like to give it a try as a possible replacement for Malwarebytes Premium 3.5, which no longer receives pattern updates.

Bad news about eScanAV Anti-Virus Toolkit (MWAV)! Their free antimalware scanner can't be updated anymore. I also tried to manually do it with their (weekly) offline virus database updater but this doesn't work either. Here is a quotation from their website https://www.escanav.com/en/mwav-tools/download-free-antivirus-toolkit.asp: And if you update the programme without knowing any better, it will be updated, but rendered unusable with an error message that does not tell the truth.

I examined the crash dump files which were created for the PSANHost.exe process after crashing. The crashes also seem to be related to the module psanrknl.exe. And they occur precisely every 60 to 65 minutes, so to say absolutely periodically. Maybe, a time bomb inside the setup file which will be activated when the version has become too old? The Panda Antivirus 21.01.00 setup file is already more than three years old. And if this theory turns out to be true, I'll be really furious and have to reconsider my opinion of Panda.

You made/forwarded/cited this so-called claim. The burden is on you to prove it. Citing two people arguing in Russian is no proof of anything. If you can't prove it, it doesn't exist. But technically, I AGREE WITH YOU. No skin off my back either way. Supermium couldn't log into my bank. But yeah, I did try, and yeah, I *immediately* changed my bank password after the failed login attempt. Supermium (and all Chrome forks above version 79 [December 2019]) have password data breach "protection". Personally, if you "trust these", you only INVITE man-in-the-middle and you VOLUNTEERED for your password hash to be TRANSMITTED !!! You REQUESTED it be analyzed via THIRD-PARTY to see if it exists in the wild. You ASKED for that when you opted in for the "protection". This is no different than VOLUNTEERING your local files to be SUBMITTED to antivirus firms if you allow them to be scanned by antivirus software. Technically, I AGREE WITH YOU, there *ARE* settings in Supermium (and all Chrome versions since 2019 !!!) that transmit data that I **OPT OUT OF**. But for the enduser that does "trust" the 'service', I leave that up to them to decide on their own, I would suggest they disable these "settings". But there will be just as many that claim they are "safer" having some embedded Chrome "service" acting as their "nanny" to protect themselves from themself.

Without some sort of PROOF, this shall be considered "fearmongering".

Forget about the Panda support! I reported the issue twice. The second report was quite detailed. No response so far. Not even an acknowledgement of receipt or the opening of a support ticket. Very disappointing! Although Panda Antivirus Free 21.01.00 is running on Windows XP better than the latest version, even this version seems to have problems. And once again, the culprit is the process PSANHost.exe which yesterday suddenly started to crash from time to time for whatever reason. I'm currently trying to determine the reason for these crashes. This PSANHost.exe is slowly getting on my nerves. Either I solve the problem or Panda Antivirus will be completely removed from my system. The Panda support seems to be non-existent.

I would gladly help you and the others , but I don't see any connections like these in my version , that I made from scratch . Where did you see I said so ? I meant, it's no wonder that something that came from russians connects to KGB servers . I'm trying to be helpful and friendly , but it just seems so strange why would you not entirely believe the others (at least two) members from France , who are reporting weird traffic and Yandex connections . Perhaps it's checking which country they are in and connects accordingly ! I think it's no coinsidence that both of them are from France !!! Again , it's just seems to me , due to some of your replies ,where you kinda bothered by any of the members saying something which is not in favour of the russians and it seems to be kinda overprotective . Just sayin' , No offence.

Hello , actually no wonders ! Could you tell whose version is this ? From which member ?

Ever tried GTX780 ( Ti version ) ? Well , you should ! It will outperform your 20 oldies in terms of heating up a 25 square meters room in a matter of several minutes ! Or try GTX Titan Black . I was going to buy it , but I just coudn't sit near it for more than 30 minutes and decided to stay with my first Titan (not black). Also , they all sound like a turbojet , I think you may like it even more . Build quality is very good ! Not like the modern days junk . Just buy original Nvidia reference version from 2013 , not from "partners" like Zotacs , Palit , Asus or EVGA. Besides , they already are ancient too . I know you can find drivers for Win2000. Perhaps someone modded Win98 drivers too.

Short story : just like the topic says . Longer story : I'm a sucker for great audio and video ! No wonder it was my job since the early 1990s. I have an audiophile sound card (several , actually) . On a clean Vista (with any official SP) the sound quality is fantastic ! Also, the video quality is full RGB and with rich and vibrant colours , but as soon as I install almost any update after the platform update , it becomes terrible , muddy , muffled , sandy sounding . Like it's having an obstacle (a pillow) , for example. Have you ever encountered something similar ?

Everyone , thank you for the help ! I was able to update through the manual method , but not with this tool . Even though I've managed to configure the proxy usage for it , the requests were just blocked ! The only way to obtain them was through a well known download manager programme with a UK IP. And @Dave-H , of course that's not for me to decide , but perhaps you need to edit the post and remove weird text like the word "loud" , I'm not sure what he meant by that. I think it could be shorter , overall , like straight to the point . Too many sentences at the top. And the most important part , please add that the roots update needs to be run as admin , otherwise it won't work on Vista . ".. entry in the string VERSION should be (missed be) "5,0,2195,0" loud (what is loud?) and in VER "005.." Perhaps relace should with must. And this : "...no correct solution for the update of the Roots certificates and revoked certificates found" , but it is found already . Misleading , outdated info.

I told ya it was RAM . You need to remove all and test with only one module inserted. BTW , RAM testing tools are not good in my opinion. I had a funny case when the guy that was checking my faulty RAM at the store had 100% good test results and then he just couldn't boot into windows ! I also remember some similar case when my DDR2 RAM module no. 1 developed a faulty sector after a couple weeks of usage in a brand new PC . As for the second hand items , never use them in a PC where you do something important . People just do not know how to handle such items , just don't . Most never heard of static electricity and UPS.

Had something similar in 2013 . Turned out to be a defective RAM stick with 4GB capacity Kingston HyperBlu DDR3 1333Mhz Made in Taiwan. The PC had 4x4. P.C. @jaclaz is totally right about SATA cables , they may become bad overtime (high resistant) , or with loose contacts. Actually , I literally hate how weak they are.

I was talking about July 2016 Update only , which was re-released in September. "The July 2016 update rollup for Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 was re-released on September 13, 2016 to address an issue in one of the included updates and to improve the overall reliability of the update rollup. Installing this update requires a restart after installation." https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/july-2016-update-rollup-for-windows-7-sp1-and-windows-server-2008-r2-sp1-296220e7-3116-2462-0ed1-fe1198875ad6

Actually , no. Microsoft says : available from Win 2000. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/ddi/wdm/nf-wdm-interlockedcompareexchange

@UCyborg , please tell us if you know what was the last working version for Windows Vista and 8.1 respectively. Thank you.

@Reino Would you be able to compile OpenSSL shared libraries 3.6.0 64-bit for use in Windows 7 (Python 3.14.2 from adang1345)? The shared libraries from e.g. here are named libssl-3-x64.dll and libcrypto-3-x64.dll, which Python 64-bit doesn't recognise (see also post above) They should be named libssl-3.dll and libcrypto-3.dll instead.

Definitely KB2890375. That is recorded as being installed in my system registry. KB2890573 isn't mentioned in the registry at all, so can't be installed on my system. I have a hotfix installation file for 'MS Visual C++ 2010 SP1 (10.0.40219.473)', so that's presumably what I have installed.

Portables *can* be .exe's. Common "wrappers" that bundle everything into an .exe is Cameyo, Spoon, Thinapp (used to be called Thinstall), et cetera. If truly portable, any folder that the .exe creates will be created within the folder that contains the .exe and not to external locations like Program Files or Windows folders. If truly portable, any registy entries required are created "internally" and not within the OS's registry. Often times, the OS registy is TEMPORARILY used by portable apps, but the registry entries are REMOVED when the portable app is exited/closed.

It is quite unpredictable . Usually it pops up right at the start of the programme. I do not have this line at all . I only have "UpdateCheckingPeriod" with only one digit available, so it seems they don't want me to disable it completely , only to change the period . This is with 7.3.1 , yes , as I told earlier I made a frankensteined version with the main .exe being 7.3.1 . I searched all lines with the word "update" , opened in Hex , nothing even remotely similar.
