Thanks for commenting! And now I have a mathematical statement for you: @Windows7fan = @xpandvistafan I think after evaluation the boolean truth value has to be set to true. What do you think? PS: I hope today is my day!

I haven't tested Option 3 in my system (no need to do) but Option 1 works perfectly too such as Option 2. What's the problem with WSUS server + WUMT in your system?

I think the more the better. Now we have three working methods to access MU or WU. 1. WSUS server + WUMT method 2. Method using ProxHTTPSProxy or HTTPSProxy + patch made by @Windows7fan 3. Method using Windows Update website patch based on nginx for XP Service Pack 3 Absolutely great! And as @maile3241 already said the third method works with CPUs lacking SSE2 instruction set. By the way the first one too.

This thread is about Root Certificates and Revoked Certificates for Windows XP. You can update your Root Certificates automatically by using the Certificate Updater 1.6 or manually by using the Root Certificate and Revoked Certificate Updater of 02/24/2022 created by me in section Downloads It works perfectly and is intended to keep your system as recent as possible regarding your Root Certificates. Kind regards, AstroSkipper

Thank you for providing a download link of ProxHTTPSProxy REV3e! I have added your link to my article above in section Downloads so that the reader has a better overview.

@WULover This thread is a support thread about Microsoft Update (MU) or Windows Update (WU). So we have reached a point where everything regarding hardware extensions is unfortunately off-topic. If you have further questions relating to your hardware, you must open your own thread with a topic of your choice. Here we can only discuss problems accessing MU. I hope I could help you and if so, I would be pleased about any reactions. Kind regards

Of course, if you can change it, do it! It should be a SSE2 capable CPU But more RAM would be important too. But be aware, your mainboard meaning the onboard socket and the current BIOS have to support the new CPU! Does the WSUS method work in your system?

I think you mean archive instead of folder. muweb.cab and mucltui.cab are cab archives actually.

Ok, give it a headline so it can be better classified! I took it to help @WULover. Sorry!

Ok, you've already corrected it.

Without ProxHTTPSProxy only a few sites and a lot of errors. Even with ProxHTTPSProxy not much better. IE is outdated and, sad to say, crap. You have to use Firefox 45 SSE or New Moon SSE releases.

You need an OS which supports modern browsers to surf the WWW. Windows 2000 is outdated like Windows ME either. As I told you twice before the best choice for your computer is a lightweight Linux Distribution such as Q4OS (Trinity Desktop). This OS supports older hardware, 32 Bit processors and more recent browsers. Otherwise you have to stay at Windows XP having very slow speed, missing some features and accepting to get system freezes from time to time.

Your computer is too old. If 320 MB is the maximum size of RAM, then any upgrading does not make sense at all. Windows 2000 is no option too. Use your Windows XP installation and try the WSUS server method which uses WUMT to get access to MU. You can find it in this thread or here: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/restore-windows-update-for-windows-xp-server-2003.82538/ No need then to run ProxHTTPSProxy at all!

Why do you want to install Python? You don't need that. Try the WSUS server method which uses WUMT to get access to MU. You can find it in this thread or here: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/restore-windows-update-for-windows-xp-server-2003.82538/

You try to run ProxHTTPSProxy REV3d built by pyInstaller. Therefore the Python version used is decisive whether your CPU is supported or not. I assume the lacking of SSE2 is probably the cause of the problem. Try the WSUS server method instead! It is working fine too.

I do think so, unfortunately. But have you tried WSUS server method to update your installation? This method doesn't require ProxHTTPSProxy. Moreover I assume the proxy is probably incompatible to your hardware. And please provide the exact type of Intel Celeron. There are a lot of them. I need to know the full specification.

But maybe exactly that is the problem. A fresh install means a lot of functions and patches are missing. Or your cpu is the problem due to the lack of certain, necessary features. What CPU is working in your computer? Please provide the exact type! And you said you've expanded your RAM. Did you perform a memory test?

Insall .NET Framework from 1.0 to 4.0 and all Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable versions from 2005 up to 2019. And Onepiece Update Package too. ProxHTTPSProxy is working in Windows XP without any problems basically. My system is fully updated POSReady updates included, and I never had a problem relating to ProxHTTPSProxy. I think in your system something is missing. But anyway, in your case the best choice is a lightweight Linux distribution due to existing hardware limitations. In my opinion, Windows XP is too demanding especially relating to RAM consumption.

Did you set up the proxy properly following the instructions? How did you start the proxy? Which version of Windows XP is installed in your computer? What is the state of updates? No detailed information, no help is possible! And I wrote a lot before, but no statements from you what I suggested: OnePiece Windows XP Post-SP3 UpdatePack, Linux Q4OS (Trinity Desktop) and so on. Truth be told, not much fun helping you!

Sorry, but this is no sentence and does not make any sense. A string of one or four words has nothing to do with detailed information.

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.

Thanks for your info! But where did I say that last verion is REV3d? I wrote: You probably misread it or missed it. I provided a download link for version REV3d because there is no link for version REV3e. @heinoganda hadn't provided any download links generally. You had to send him a PM to get his latest release. And he doesn't provide download links anymore. So there is only a download link for version REV3d. As I already mentioned in my article I did my job carefully: But no problem, that can happen to anybody. The Romans said: "Errare humanum est."

I don't know what's your problem. Forget about IE 7 and install IE 8! If installation of IE 8 doesn't work, then your system is faulty and a fresh new installation is necessary. Internet Explorer is crap generally but if we need it then, please the latest version. And there is basically no problem with IE 8 in Windows XP.

No, definitely not. You can' t use IE 6. IE 8 is needed exclusively to access MU web site. Or use WSUS server method if it is working in your system. Unfortunately, there is and will not be another solution. I gave you a lot of tips how to solve your problem. There is no more to say. IE 6 is outdated, unsupported and crap. Sorry, truth has to be told!
