    ... Being slightly pedantic, but the URL query parameter should be: 

    
    disable_polymer=1

    Be that as it may, the query no longer works for the main YT homepage,

    https://www.youtube.com/?disable_polymer=1

    (classic style is not restored), but still works for independent video URIs:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-z7hoEWaH4&disable_polymer=1

    true also disables polymer:

  2. I found a way for MIDI communication between the Win98 guest system in the MS VPC 2007 virtual machine and the MIDI music keyboard via the WinXP SP2 x86 host system:

    We connect the MIDI In port on our instrument to the MIDI Out port on the PC.

    Actions on WinXP Host:

    • we install Virtual Serial Port Kit (FabulaTech) and add a pair of COM3, COM4 ports on the default settings:

    • we install Roland Serial MIDI Driver 3.2 for WinXP and set the COM3 port in it, disable Use multiple ports and enable the Activate CTS/RTS Flow Control option:

    • we install the Bome's Mouse Keyboard program, set the MIDI ports IN and OUT and leave the program turned on:
      set MIDI In to Roland Serial MIDI Input
      set MIDI Out to output port MIDI e.g. my Creative PCI card has this port Creative Sound Blaster MPU-401
      Instead of Bome's, you can use another program that has MIDI In and MIDI Out settings, e.g. MIDI-OX
    • in the Win98 virtual machine options in the COM1 port settings we select COM4:

    Actions on Win98 Guest:

    • we install the same Serial MIDI driver but Win9x version -
      Roland Serial MIDI Driver 3.2 for Win9x and configure the same as on WinXP but set COM1 port:
      serial_midi_9x.png.3efc4c21e142f41f89470aff8b399458.png
    • in the Control Panel Win98 set the default MIDI Roland Serial MIDI Out A device and/or use a MIDI player/sequencer in which you can select this port directly, e.g. Cubase, Winamp
  3. Very strange but it is OK now and there is no BSOD C2 (without Primetime or when installed). To be sure - I restored the system from the image and installed Firefox 52.9.0 ESR
    Next strange thing - now YT works without the Primetime plugin :dubbio:I'm sure that on Saturday morning (April 4, 2020) YT did not work without Primetime and there was an error that Firefox does not support HTML5. BSOD C2 was also then.

    P.S. They make some changes on YT. I noticed that now 720p quality is no longer marked as HD - there is no red HD stamp:

    Solution for Chrome 49 was posted by VistaLover on page 1 of this thread February 6. This will be my last reminder for those who did not read the thread. :boring:

    F..k, why do you keep saying this? :angry::angry: Your reply is not related to recent posts in the topic at all :crazy:

    Let's wait for YT to introduce changes (31/03/2020) and then the VistaLover solution will be officially announced here.

    P.S. This topic is created by me. In April I will personally check and let you know if the VistaLover solution will help.

    Now I've looked more closely "Breaking News" is not showing thumbnails for me on Google Chrome 49, but everything else seems OK.
    They are showing fine on Firefox 52.9.1 ESR.
    I'm not using any special user agent strings on either browser.
    :)

    Yes, everything except thumbnails works fine in Chrome 49 for now, but probably only until the end of the month :dubbio:

  6. Another way to add the RNDIS driver is to install e.g. Active Sync 4.5
    After installing WinXP has detected a new device RNDIS as Windows Mobile-based Internet Sharing Device

    or, manually extract the .msi file in CMD:

    msiexec /a "activesync_4.5.msi"

    and indicate the path to the driver when connecting a smartphone and enabling USB tethering.

     

    P.S. WceIsVista.INF adds a device called Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device
