    I cannot find the USB3 driver for XP nor can I find the ACPI driver.

    I know. And here is why:

    Due to fire incident at service provider OVH datacenter in Strasbourg, this file was destroyed in fire.

    Luckily on simplix page, link to it i post here earlier,  they re-upload new version of file. USB3 driver for XP, ACPI driver for XP as well as AHCI and many more are there.

    @Rod Steel

    Thank you for contacting support and reporting the problem.
    No I didn't know that Korean language page.:no:
    Unfortunately I can't help you with the problem you reported, but only recommend a newer version.
    The version prior to the malfunctioning version is 210209.

    So i contacted with PotPlayer developers with question about end of win XP support and get answer. Here it is (spelling and punctuation preserved):

    Yes...

    Windows XP is don't support~~

    So, as i understand, version from January 27, 2021 is last with win XP support. https://cafe.daum.net/pot-tool/BHPW

     

    Also i contacted with developers of another program that recently stop working with Win XP. It is D3Dgear - Game Recording Software. https://www.d3dgear.com/

    And in conversation it turns out that developers apparently, while updated they program, did not notice that they drop support with win XP. So now, they were aware of that and fixed win XP support!

    @Sampei.Nihira, or somebody else, please can you download free 15-day trial version of that program and check does it work with your win XP. It finally installs on my system with last version, but since it is 15-day trial version it does not launch on my system - i probably 4 or 5 years ago already try it in trial version.

    I do not understand your obsession with labeling software and even people agents of the KGB, an agency which ceased to exist in 1991

    There is no obsession. Dixel is right. By many people words like "obsession" considered as rude.

    KGB, an agency which ceased to exist in 1991

    You have to be absolutely ignorant into believing this BS. They didn't "ceased", they just change nickname to drop the heat. It's like you repainting car in PaintShop in GTA game to drop the heat. They did it many times before and only total suckers buy on it every time. Here is they own timeline of nicknames:

    Cheka (1917–1922), GPU under NKVD RSFSR (1922–1923), OGPU (1923–1934), NKVD (1934–1946), NKGB (February–July 1941/1943–1946), MGB (1946–1953), KGB(1953-1991), FCS (1993-1995) FSB (1995-now)

    Nicknames changes only to drop the heat, IT IS STILL ONE AND THE SAME ENTITY. Only naive people\not educated on this topic does not understand that. Even in russian wikipedia in article about FSB in first part of article with google translate you learn: Is the main successor of the KGB of the USSR. It is a terrorist organization run by psychopaths, sociopaths and complete criminals - a people with zero empathy.

    Yandex is under full and utter control of Russian government which is FSB people. In case of Self-insulation of Russia from World Internet Yandex suppose to be replacement to Google search and mail and RuTube replacement of YouTube, it is well known facts. There is ZERO trust to software made in Russia in last years. For example, even if you look at russian ReactOS article in wikipedia with translator you will learn interesting things like: "ReactOS project participants were registered in Russia. Trademarks were registered. The developer team seeks to get financing from the Russian government to create a startup and promotion of ReactOS under its own brand as a Russian national operating system." As well as pictures of russian rabid nationalist (known as "dark colonel") from they parliament working with ReactOS and info that both leaders of Russia also introduced to this "project" of high-jacking windows 2003  free and open-source operating system.

    they offered to share their source code to prove it was not spyware for Russia. I do not see a reason they would do so if it was actually such a thing.

    Again it is things for suckers. Of course they will give you "clean" source-code, and then actual program will have different code and be spying on you. There is a reason why Kaspersky Lab has been permanently banned from providing services to U.S. government agencies. Because it f-n spyware! Nobody ever should use any serious modern software from Russia, because you should not sponsor fascist state and this software may be and will be a hack in to your system.

    Should I comment on this ? I think no , that information alone must be enough.

    Exactly! And right now Google turn up in to Corporation of EVIL. They right now in the process of OBLITERATING independent media in USA and many people like Jordan Chariton CALL IT OUT. The process is simple: destroy any real left USA channel. Remove it from algorithm proposal and automatically played next video proposal (Like Secular Talk or The Young Turks and others were removed if you watch them religiously still every next video proposed by algorithm will be MSNBC or CNN or Daily show or other right-wing corporate crap), demonetized it, silent total ban in suggestions and eventually full ban. Only right-wing mainstream media and some (but not all) far-right channels are not touched and propped and God know what it will be next after that. In Russian segment of YouTube purge against small real independent opposition is almost complete, for example Sasha Sotnik and several similar channels are demonetized, get silent ban+ total ban in suggestions and notifications, i assume eventually full ban will follow. In my information from IT-people who work in USA: russian division of Google and YouTube almost completely consists from FSB puppets and agents and even in Google headquarters RU division is pariah and they avoid and afraid of those people. So again using russian OS, browser, anti-virus or any other software is completely dumb. Avoid it at all costs!

    Google need FBI check and investigation, it look like it is infiltrated by all sort of spy's and agents from top to bottom because it behaves like that. If it looks like a duck and walks like a duck, it's probably a duck!

    And one of those "likes" was you. The existence of your alt account, D.Draker, is painfully obvious and clearly a source of reputation farming.

    I have a little conversation\dispute with Dixel in topic about Geforce GTX 9xx\10xx drivers here in XP segment of forum. And under every second Dixel post there was like from D.Draker. And i was wondering - who the hell is D.Draker and why he siding with his likes with Dixel when it is obvious that i am right. Ha, now we, apparently, know.:cool: DIxel, if that true, this is a shame, this is such a teenage thing from 2000-2010 decade, lol. Even if it not you but a friend or relative - lol.:rolleyes:

    XP64 has like 30-45% slower framerate. 

    No wonder , 'cause it shows PCI-e 1.0 only...

    I think you are mistaken. Here is a test that i read in 2012. I barely find it in 2021, but i found it!:cool:

    As you can see on a page below on powerful Kepler videocard (as well as on 7970) PCIe x16 v1.1 not much slower than on PCIe x16 v2.0

    https://www.techpowerup.com/review/intel-ivy-bridge-pci-express-scaling/23.html

     

    Note that Test System there is much faster then your F-S Xeon system. They use 4.7Ghz (!) Core i7-3770K + ASUS Maximus V Gene Intel Z77.

    So your "30-45% slower framerate" is probably from your F-S system as i explain earlier. I rest my case.

    Installation of the new version of PotPlayer 210318 (March 18, 2021) crashes with an error pop-up.

    From my experience developers often do not notice that changes they make brake XP compatibility. And since not a lot of people nowadays use XP nobody tell them. So i think somebody should write an email to POT Player developers and tell them that they last release do not install on XP. Frankly maybe i should do it. :) Oh well i already did it.

    P.S. Also, Sampei. Nihira, i notice that you with PotPlayer always give link to they main page, where only last version can be downloaded. Did you know that they have this weird korean language-only page, when you can download they old releases to? Here it is: https://cafe.daum.net/pot-tool/BHPW

    Also i don't want to try to install 210318, i have 200908 and it works fine, it is not updating and shows me it is last version, hm... My only complain that it often shows that weird pink and green stripe in upper part of video when video is small or low or not standard resolution and changing video renderer to VMR9 or VMR7 not helping. With MPC-HC or MPC-BE that is not a problem. Does anybody know how to solve this?

    How Do I Fix This?

    Should you? Stop using this obsolete crap! And start using cool programs for XP.

    MPC-HC (1.6.9.7503) - the very last MPC-HC that use native filters that have DXVA1 HW AVC decoding capability (MPC video decoder).

    Media Player Classic - BE

    https://sourceforge.net/projects/mpcbe/files/MPC-BE/Release builds/1.4.6/

    Also Pot Player is still updated for Win XP and can play YouTube videos even live air!

    I'm getting slow downloads using Windows XP Home

    Did you open at least 100 half-open outbound TCP connections? Or you have standard XPSP2\SP3 10 connections? I personally open 200 connections in my XP.

    Alternatively you connection in XP maybe used by some torrent program, or other process, maybe some bot-network. Check in Task Manager in Networking is network are busy while it should not. Like if no program running (like uTorrent) and there is Networking activity it is time to investigate it for you.

    i guess i will stick with x86 version because i dont have any drivers that will work with 64 bit xp:unsure:

    Well you just tell your PCconfiguration: CPU, GPU, Motherboard and we will tell you is it possible to install XP on that.

    XP 64 drivers are myth from 2005-2006. And it is mostly not true. Geforce GTX 980 and all Maxwells, Core I7-3770k and up to Skylake possible. There is no big difference in drivers availability and if your configuration have XP-64 drivers, then who care if some eccentric old rare lan card that you don't have don't have XP64 driver. You know what i mean?

    I just found this article.

    As-well as this: https://www.win-raid.com/t4035f45-Windows-XP-Bit-and-Server-Bit-on-Modern-Hardware.html#msg61916

    It shows that work on improving XP still are going. So i advice you to tell us your config, and if it compatible try XP64.

    I'm afraid it's not possible since no other motherboard will fit this housing.

    Then change housing and PSU. I recommend Bequiet brand. They Power Supply and housing in elite version have SilentWings ventilators with hydrodynamic bearing that are almost eternal (300.000 hours) and completely silent. I have one of these - it is amazing.

    I will try to reinstall again in some days and get back with the results .

    I seriously recommend slipstreamed version that i talk about. It is considered the best. Your slipstream will probably change nothing, because you will just repeat current installation. If you install that slipstream you will know that it not your XP64, but all XP64 work bad on your motherboard. Anyways, i am not forcing you to anything, just want to help fellow XP user.

    I do notice poor 3d performance with games on XP64, the same game is like 2x times faster with Vista.

    Yea this is not how it suppose to be. XP64 is faster then Vista. Hm. It looks like something works weird in your system with XP64 install. Maybe drivers on motherboard, or maybe in BIOS of this rare motherboard something not set right, like not forced PCI-E 2.0 mode, or processor in power-saving mode constantly while running XP? Maybe you need reinstall XP-64 from different ISO, i sent u an email about that.

    I also see infamous Fujitsu Siemens motherboard. It have incredibly bad reputation in Overclockers community many years ago. It look like it is a server motherboard and BIOS in F-S servers stuff is usually archaic and obsolete. I really low opinion about they motherboards. In reviews that i read like 15 years ago it was the worst in test from like 15 motherboards. Maybe you should consider upgrade on I7-3770K or FX-8350 - this is fast systems that officially support XP, DDR3 and still good.

    I do not know why the Nvidia CPL shows gen.1 PCI express .

    Maybe it is power saving under low load? Check latest GPU-Z, it newest version still working with XP. In GPU-Z it is question mark button "PCI-E render test" near Bus Interface line.

    Also it is hard to diagnose problem when you don't tell what exact your hardware is.

    Also it can be that Nvidia CPL just show incorrect information - that happened sometimes with different programs - they are not flawless.

    P.S. Here is link to EVGA forum with program to benchmark PCI-E bandwitch on Nvidia cards:https://forums.evga.com/PCIE-bandwidth-test-cuda-m1972266.aspx

    Honestly I don't see the point.

    Then why are you posting here? Move along! This is XP subforum, not W10!

    On 1/21/2021 at 12:36 PM, LincolnG said:

    Of course, if the graphics chipset is newer than XP era drivers then it is unlikely to give any performance / quality advantage as the game or software was never made or tested on it.

    This is ridiculous statement. Games like Metro 2033 or Metro Last Light would run great on GTX 980Ti, for example. And Between first Metro and 980Ti is more than 5 years, in which XP era was ended.

    The highest performance graphics card I found to work with XP 32ps3 & x64 was 780ti with a ASUS Z77-V motherboard and an i7 or Xeon depending on the software's multi-threading capability.

    From this post it seems that you even don't know that all Maxwell videocards, including  980Ti and Titan X, work with XP cause Nvidia drivers support them until summer 2016. You might be surprised bye posts of bluebolt in XP64 subforum here, warning SSD, CPU and GPU that running fine on XP64 may shell-shock you.

    I also check all your 5 posts on this forum in first 4 you talking about running different low-end videocards on XP, in your last post your argue with me. I really annoyed by your last 2 posts, especially including with this quote:

    Also, where I did get 10x to actually load they were either extremely unreliable or were easily out-performed by older fully compatible cards.  For my own system I went for a Palit GTX 750 ti which has proved to work very well and infact much better than some 10x cards I tested.

    It is obviously from this post of yours that you still do not fully understand that 750 not "outperfoming" 10XX on XP, But 10XX just run in VGA compatibility mode - without 3D and, probably, 2D acceleration. Please, stop giving other people advises and opinions without, at least partially, understanding the problem.

    Now finally i wanna explain why i write my first post here. You see, i read articles last years about how very skilled programmers make old games work better by write a lot of code, or finish never finished and never released games for old consoles, or write new games for consoles etc. A lot of this stuff is on reddit retrodev. One guy create a lot of patches for NFS3 by himself and wrote tonshit of code for that. This is impressive. So i ask myself - if some guys for free write A LOT of hi-skill code for abandoned games and platforms, maybe somebody in the world can examine both 368 drivers and say could it possible, with relatively low effort, adapt XP 368 to Pascal.

    if you can get a driver and a 10xx card to play nice with XP64, you're likely going to be seeing worse performance than you would with a 9xx card.

    i modded the 368.81 driver. and on startup it bluescreened with the System file i mentioned listed as the cause(nv4_mini.sys)

    If you use Pascal (10xx) videocard on windows XP with successfully modded drivers you will get no 3D-perfomance. I just want to clarify this to people who will read it in the future:  NO 3D Perfomance.

    This is cause THERE IS NO PASCAL DRIVER FOR WINDOWS XP that is capable to do 3D-perfomance. Because Nvidia did not create that driver.

    However i want to say something unusual. Since there is interest for so many people for XP Pascal Driver maybe some measures can be done?

    368.81 for XP does not support Pascal. However 368.81 for more modern Windows system support Pascal videocards. So MAYBE it is possible for experienced programmers to modify XP version, using Win7 version of a driver as donor? Like yea, i know it's hi-tech stuff. But there is programmers that work on wine, reactOS etc. Could they be attracted or hired through crowdfunding? Maybe the size of a work not so big? I know it sounds crazy, but who knows, right?

    I just downloaded it and it doesn't work on my Windows XP SP3

    I confirming that - on my machine Version 3.1.4.2 it is not working with same message. This means that LS-Tecnology forgot to update system requirements for last version because this message appears when minimal requirements is Vista.

    However, :cool: i also can confirm that Version v3.0.3.2 definitely can work in XP SP3:

    Like user Marc before him, JD is writing about Upgrading IE8 to TLS 1.2 (an old MSFN thread on the same topic). IDK about Outlook Express 6, but analogous procedure for IE9 on Vista can benefit Windows Mail. But as Marc pointed out, only a limited number of cipher suites are provided, so this solution might not be ideal.

    Ok, but that was not my question. My question was: "please what .reg file should i created?"

    I ask question to JD there, but pre-moderation there is not working. So days passed and my question there did not pop out. That JD is obviously what i name "quantum genius". Not only his file expired same year he uploaded it on some crappy filegarbage server. But also he did not put text for .reg file instead he put some murkey nonsense with mistakes and contradictions.

    SO I ASK AGAIN: Help please what .reg file should i created? Again if question not obvious: Help please what .reg file should i created?

  16. I recently start using as main browser New Moon 28.10.2a1 (32-bit) (2020-10-02) and finally stop using 28.3. I am very satisfied with (2020-10-02). It actually play YouTube videos just as good as old 28.3 - no micro-lags, no subfreezing. Now in versions after 28.3.0a1 (2018-12-21) there was (in my experience) for long period of time "choppy video playback". It was in versions of 2019 year and in early 2020 as i remember (again, in my experience). But in New Moon 28.10.2a1 (32-bit) (2020-10-02) video plays without micro-lags. So, from my experience as user, it looks like video-playback have now higher priority then other processes in browser or something like that. I think it was can be noticeable on single core machines also many users here on msfn say that they do not watch videos in browser and because of that nobody notice that.

    I don't know what actually was changed, but kudos to Roytam1 - (2020-10-02) version works just as fast and smooth as old good versions.

    And yes i know that chat don't work in that version because of google sabotage. But for me it's fine - YouTube chat usually filled with inadequate users, unfunny trolls and crazy fans of current "leader" who garbage spam every channel chat in the universe with incoherent rambling. Like you watch channel about astronomy and then some douchebag starts yelling with all caps in chat: maga!!!111.

    Using the very latest New Moon 28 package (32-bit on Vista SP2 x86) with a pristine NEW browser profile, and the "lazy-loaded" images of products (sport-shoes in your linked example) DO LOAD eventually, fully:

    Well, yea you are right i just didn't load the last version, but i tried several times this year earlier and it didn't work back then. Even without pristine new profile it is working now. I just should use current version for tests not relay on old 2020 versions. Oops.:whistle: Anyway, thank you VistaLover! NM28.10.2a1 (32-bit) (2020-10-02) is showing rozetka correctly on XP.

    P.S. The reason why i still use 28.3.0a1 (2018-12-21) version i described in my 2020-09-11 September post here - it is the last version before video playback become choppy and laggy. Probably because Roytam1 updated then ffmpeg for av1 support. So i steal ask - can be created for tests experimental new NM version with ffmpeg from 28.3.0a1 (2018-12-21) release? I would like to test it for speed and smoothness of video playback.
