  1. @NotHereToPlayGames I found it, though you were trying to connect to the Internet on your old Compaq Presario with XP x86 SP2, not with your usual XP X64 SP2: https://msfn.org/board/topic/182876-360-extreme-explorer-modified-version/page/34/#findComment-1204935 https://msfn.org/board/topic/182876-360-extreme-explorer-modified-version/page/34/#findComment-1204937 https://msfn.org/board/topic/182876-360-extreme-explorer-modified-version/page/34/#findComment-1204940 https://msfn.org/board/topic/182876-360-extreme-explorer-modified-version/page/35/#findComment-1204961 https://msfn.org/board/topic/182993-360-extreme-explorer-arcticfoxie-versions/page/4/#findComment-1205477 https://msfn.org/board/topic/182993-360-extreme-explorer-arcticfoxie-versions/page/24/#findComment-1207275 https://msfn.org/board/topic/182993-360-extreme-explorer-arcticfoxie-versions/page/24/#findComment-1207334 I see that you finally managed to connect to the Internet, by launching a PORTABLE Chromium v49. I might try that. Do you remember exactly which version of PORTABLE Chromium v49 it was? And what was the source of the file, which website it was downloaded from? Same as you, my XP x86 SP2 install disk is Basic and VANILLA, with NO patches and NO POSReady. Also, same as you, I wanted to make registry and hard drive "snapshot" before and after to compare. What PORTABLE Chromium v49 did for you, watch YouTube video from URL in MPC-HC did for me, allowed 360Chrome to connect to the Internet. Same as you, in my case it also shows "Establishing secure connection..." in the status bar but it can't open the page, can't open any website. When you are free, can you take a look at my compare-before-and-after registry and HD "snapshot" text file, and see if you recognize something that could help 360Chrome to connect to the Internet?
  2. I was trying to solve this problem lately, no matter what I try - 360Chrome can't open any website. Happens with all 360Chrome versions: v11, v12 and v13 - they all say: errorcode=7 [ERR_TIMED_OUT (-7)] hmm These are the things I tried: 1. Download YouTube video with yt-dlp 2025.06.13 - didn't help 2. Open page google.com in Incognito mode - didn't help 3a. Open google.com + keep page open + Firewall OFF - WORKS after long time of waiting hmm 3b. Open google.com + close page or restart browser + Firewall OFF - doesn't work hmm 4. Cmd ipconfig-release+renew - didn't help 5. Restart Router - didn't help 5b. Restart Router + Cmd ipconfig-release+renew - didn't help 6. Open 360Chrome not from 360Loader.exe but from Chrome\Application\360chrome.exe - didn't help 7. Open page + keep page and browser open + force shut down - didn't help 8. Create both HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\360chrome + HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MozillaPlugins keys in Registry - didn't help 9. Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes OFF - didn't help 10. Install Certificates from Cert_Updater_v1.6.exe - didn't help The only thing that I know it works 100%, because I have tried it 7-8 times, is this: Open MPC-HC 2.1.2 (with latest yt-dlp.exe [I had v2025.06.13]) and watch YouTube video from URL for 10 seconds - works. [Probably other MPC-HC version would work, and my current yt-dlp.exe v2025.06.13 was 50+ days old, so it was not the latest, but still worked] Exact same results happen in XP SP2 and XP SP3. As if something is stopping 360Chrome to use Internet on new Win XP SP2 and SP3 installation, and watch YouTube video from URL in MPC-HC is allowing 360Chrome to use Internet. yt-dlp will not be available for XP forever, so I wanted to find another solution to this. I remember ArcticFoxie, (@NotHereToPlayGames) also had such problem with 360Chrome in the past, he eventually made it work to have Internet, but he didn't say how he fixed it, or maybe I have forgotten. I made 'before' and 'after' Registry and System save, to check what exactly watch YouTube video from URL in MPC-HC changes in the Registry and System. Here is the file with 'before' and 'after' changes: Regshot 1.9.0, Compare before and after watch YouTube video from URL in MPC-HC, ~res-x86.txt : https://pastebin.com/Ge2yU4iU Maybe I can add some of these entries in the Registry, and make 360Chrome have Internet, without using MPC-HC watch YouTube video from URL. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
  3. Hi nicolaasjan, I tried to download this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGPeK8gO0Eo on Win XP SP2 with your yt-dlp Python 3.11 build from https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/scl/fi/2ajuzjxmmbwqk888dj9hg/test_Py3.11_XP_yt-dlp.zip?rlkey=ro7rfvve4ueuavheq30ddvhu6 And I can confirm the same error you got: "Unable to download API page, Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 0] Error"
  4. https://msfn.org/board/topic/182566-monkey-scripts/ If you are a beginner in Tampermonkey, start with the script called "Old Reddit Redirect", that one is easy to test whether you have set it up properly or not.
  5. Glad it works, all credits to daniel_k and reboot12 . reboot12 did an excellent job by fixing the original driver.
  6. @roytam1 USB3 Driver, AMD by daniel, fixed by reboot12: https://www.mediafire.com/file/v259yjmiiqw4j0j/USB_3x_fixed.zip/file link expired hmm USB3 Driver, AMD by daniel, fix2 by reboot12, universal for Win XP and Win 7: https://www.mediafire.com/file/w0btfnifzat5yip/USB_3x_fix2.zip/file
  7. Hi @roytam1, the MDL thread (https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/winxp-32-bit-on-a-modern-pc-iso-boot-wim-install-wim.88834/) by @reboot12, I saved it to .html, so now you can see full content offline. https://ufile.io/ra9ue6rg

  9. Thanks ArcticFoxie, With no Polyfills, it shows this (I hid some of the messages I thought were irrelevant): The last message "PUT https ... 9216 400" shows when I 'Add Friend' and when the 'are you human' Pop-up shows. With these 3 Polyfills (Change Array by Copy All-in-One + Promise.withResolvers + structuredClone major) active, it shows this (I hid some of the messages I thought were irrelevant): This time it didn't show the "PUT https ... 9216 400" message when I 'Added Friend' and when the 'are you human' Pop-up showed. I enabled chrome://flags/#enable-experimental-web-platform-features so: Change Array by Copy All-in-One + Promise.withResolvers + structuredClone major + chrome://flags/#enable-experimental-web-platform-features Enabled - but it still showed the 'are you human' Pop-up, so I Disabled chrome://flags/#enable-experimental-web-platform-features again (default).
  10. Hi obstinateXP, 1. Optional: Make backup of rebuild 6 first, Application + User Data folders, backup 360Loader.exe + 360Loader.ini also just in case. 2. Copy rebuild 6 to new location, replace all contents from rebuild 6\Chrome\Application with Redux\Chrome\Application. 3. Replace 360Loader.exe from rebuild 6 with 360Loader.exe from Redux; replace 360Loader.ini also if you want or keep your old one from rebuild 6. 4. Rename rebuild 6 to Redux, done.
  11. Looks OK in Supermium 122.0.6261.85 on Win XP x86.
  12. I have these JS polyfills saved: Array.at Change Array by Copy .toSorted findLast findLastIndex Object.fromEntries Object.hasOwn randomUUID String.at structuredClone Promise.withResolvers Which one of these might work to disable a 'are you human' Pop-up? If there are no suggested candidates to start with, I will have to try them all.
  13. I have few JS polyfills saved, maybe one of them can help with Discord's 'are you human' Pop-up?
  14. Hi everyone, In 360Chrome 13.5.1030 Redux r1, every time I try to 'Add Friend' in Discord it shows this Pop-up that says: "Wait! Are you human? Please confirm you are not a robot." hmm. I tried these 6 things: 1. --disable-features=UserAgentClientHint - add friend, still asks me 'are you human' hmm. 2. chrome://flags/#enable-experimental-web-platform-features Enabled - add friend, still asks me 'are you human' hmm. 3. --disable-features=UserAgentClientHint + chrome://flags/#enable-experimental-web-platform-features Enabled - add friend, still asks me 'are you human' hmm. 4. --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/86.0.4240.198 Safari/537.36" - add friend, still asks me 'are you human' hmm. 5. --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/122.0.6261.85 Safari/537.36" - add friend, still asks me 'are you human' hmm. 6. I deleted all Parameters except Parameters=--user-data-dir="%Profile%" in 360Loader.ini - add friend, still asks me 'are you human' hmm. In Serpent 52 from 2023, when I try to add friend, adds friend OK and does NOT ask me 'are you human', good. Is there something I can do in 360Chrome v13.5, so when I try to 'Add Friend' in Discord - NOT to show me the 'are you human' Pop-up?
  15. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9leuGyur1A Excellent deduction my dear Watson, I mean VistaLover.
  16. Happy New Year everyone! https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/audio-compressor/daomidlfpcfjchpalpjogmnhabkekbnn Hi ArcticFoxie, is it this one?
  17. Hi @Nicholas McAnespy, here is an interesting video about Win 9x:
  18. For users who open @hotmail/@outlook email via Serpent, tested on Serpent from 2023, about:config > general.useragent.override.live.com: Mozilla/5.0 (%OS_SLICE% rv:63.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/63.0 - no, can't open login page Mozilla/5.0 (%OS_SLICE% rv:64.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/64.0 - OK, can open login page via Google, can't open via microsoft.com In order to avoid this message: "You are trying to login from different device, provide recovery email or phone for code verification", for my 2023 Serpent I decided to use: general.useragent.override.live.com = Mozilla/5.0 (%OS_SLICE% rv:94.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/94.0 Is this a good UA string to use for stable @hotmail login? If you think this UA string can be improved, feel free to reply. Update: Last time I could only login via support.microsoft.com > Sign in .
  19. Thanks again, I am glad it is back.
  20. I randomly stumbled upon this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3ZGNT5S5IU Hackers are destroying the Internet's history book right now I tried opening archive.org and web.archive.org and they seem to be offline hmm. I hope this gets resolved soon, it would be a big loss for many if Internet Archive stays offline permanently.
  21. @Dave-H, @AstroSkipper - Thanks guys. I took a closer look, and to open sourceforge.net (Cloudflare-protected), the minimum required UA string is for Chrome v120 .
  22. Thanks @Dave-H, which UA string you use now? @NotHereToPlayGames, Can you point me to the XP "modern SSL" hoops? I would like to save the info for later, until we can figure out what is the cause for this human verification issue, because apparently it doesn't happen for everyone.
