Well, I doubt that would fair any better. Buggy PortAudio code is my bet.

Audacity 2.3.2 almost works on my end, with just patching of EXE OS version. Almost... Edit: the 2.3.1 v4 XP mod posted here bombs out with same error. Same with 2.0.6, the version they claim is last XP compatible. 2.0.0, last win98 compat version works, though.

HAL.DLL comes with windows. If it's not there, something went very, very wrong.

Eh, I'm using XP with unofficial "SP4" updates(OS reinstall from POSReady 2009). https://anonfile.com/RbQ7w4qfb4/Python37_zip I've repackaged and twiddled with python 3.7 a bit, using a few suggestions from other thread. Cleanup folder structure a bit, separate misc files from the pyc(fixes pip failure), added tkinteri+tcl, include get-pip.py, One slightly curious thing is this. https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/40ef233105b36ea12b600235ad96905820053246bcb003f22eb33ca180ef28c1/analysis/1544275319/ https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/a29e6eef3a1ee7a9606b5092d3ca61e7f1675a67798e9514bcfad7b46b9fbad6/analysis/1544275691/ I'm thinking maybe false positives.

I've been toying around between latest UXP basillisk, last non-UPX basillisk, palemoon 27 and 28, with new profiles. Youtube playback performance seems roughly about the same between browsers, although I couldn't test PM27 there. I've used https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvbPSf2JwrE in 1080p for testing. It probably has a high framerate and tends to get choppy on my end. As for my previous npapi flash complaints, I think old Basillisk and PM27 did things slightly differently from UXP-Basillisk and PM28. Something changed under the hood. The latter two seem to have that gross inefficiency in rendering flash. -

Let's not forget an earlier patch that checked for POSReady2009 XP registry key and prevented browser startup. The git commit for it had rather a vague title. Their logic here was that POSReady2009 had sufficient differences from vanilla XP, that it warranted extra support issues. The decision for this block was reversed eventually, at the community's pleas. They said that if any POSReady2009/"XP SP4" patch user made bug report pretending to be vanilla XP, they would outright cancel this compatibility. Then came newer PaleMoon for Vista+ The end. -

Python 3.5 Runtime Redistributable backported to XP
404notfound replied to FranceBB's topic in Windows XP
Hmmm, the registry settings I had in mind are relevant to py.exe launcher, which is useful for managing multiple python versions rather than a portable package. https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0514/ https://pastebin.com/Da2NYpTd How these work is that py.exe will launch appropiate python(w).exe according to registry settings and beginning of script. #!python2 #!python3 #!python3.4 #!python2.7 It's good to know when installing new python into place. Also another note is when installing on x64 system with x86 python, is changed reg path. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Python\PythonCore\... -

I think it sorely needs pip. Also, there are some registry settings associated with python. I will do some tinkering on these. -

I'm experiencing significant CPU usage and not so smooth graphics in attempting to view a flash occupying maximized browser window in Basillisk UXP. I tried the same in latest PaleMoon v27 and last non-UXP Basillisk, all 3 with new profiles. In the latter two, there is almost no CPU usage. I also suspect youtube playback, but I have yet to check all. -

When I updated my FF ESR to one with Quantum engine, on win8 x86 work PC with Intel Celeron CPU, it was actually slower :p I even downgraded it to old ESR and turned off upgrades. -

Another problem I seem to have with Basilisk UXP is that CPU usage goes up to 100% of a core when I lock windows session and goes back down when I unlock.
