  1. Update 2024: Prime video no longer supports Silverlight and says your browser is unsupported if you run it on the old version of Seamonkey or any browser that doesn't support the necessary HTML5 video and DRM. Netflix dropped support for Silverlight back in September 2023, they made a post about it here https://help.netflix.com/en/node/2090 Amazon prime video hasn't made any official announcement but they haven't been that well known for using Silverlight anyway compared to Netflix. I can confirm that Prime video worked with Silverlight back in 2021, the reason it didn't work in my previous post initially is because I ran it on Windows XP integral edition. It is a modified version of XP so I guess it messed up Silverlight in some way. It worked perfectly fine in a clean XP build that was manually updated and on Windows 10 on my main PC back then.
  2. I wasn't able to find a way, for some reason the steam client doesn't launch in offline mode too.
  3. Steam stoppped supporting Windows XP back at the start of 2019 and there was a workaround by patching an old version to run but that has gradually become more and more broken. I'm the guy who has made a video on how to run steam on windows xp but that video was taken down last year. After a long time I tried setting up steam on XP again to see if anything has changed and it has indeed become slightly more broken. It's still possible to login but now you have to enter your steam guard code each time you try to login using packinfoconvertor. Downloading games is still completely broken and transferring your games from another computer doesn't work either as they'll get stuck on 'update queued' in library and you can't launch . I managed to get the original Half-Life to work by transferring the game and it's acf file, it showed 'update queued' and didn't launch from the Steam library but worked when launching from the games exe file. Online servers worked too. https://imgur.com/a/btUL9YP I managed to get CS 1.6 to work too https://imgur.com/a/YB071x2 Since it installs into the same folder as Half-Life, I had to add the parameter '-game cstrike' to a shortcut of hl.exe. Multiplayer servers work too. Other goldsrc games will work too. Source games like portal 1 and 2, hl2, cs source and hl2 deathmatch no longer work, cs source and hl2 deathmatch multiplayer stopped working since 2021 due to them requiring a newer version of steam for online features. Hl2 is drm free but no longer works after some updates it had for steam deck. Portal 2 stopped working after an update last year, probably for steam deck too. At this point I do not recommend installing and trying Steam on Windows XP, it has become broken to the extent that it's pretty much useless since you can't install anything and if you do transfer games from another PC, they're still not likely to work since you can't launch them from library. As well as having to enter your steam guard code each time you want to open it. You are much better off downloading your games from GOG, physical copies etc.
  4. I know this is a pretty dead thread but skype works perfectly well in those Chinese backported Chromium browser. You can even make it open in a seperate window and add a desktop shortcut. Also. skype doesn't seem to block XP as an OS anymore so changing your user agent is no longer required.
  5. You can still get an older version of steam to work on XP but it can't download games and transferring games from another pc also doesn't work
  6. I tried to fix the downloads for so long but to no avail. It is possible to transfer your games but most of them time they say update queued and get stuck. Anyway yeah steam is pretty dead for XP, GOG seem to be the way to go.
  7. Pretty much all steam versions of valve games no longer work on XP because they updated all the steam apis for steamdesk support.
  8. oh wow really interesting, how do you do it?
  9. I got the mobile version of YouTube to run on IE8 using the google chrome frame, it doesn't run that well but it works.
  10. Thanks a ton! The purble place here is the 2005 beta? How do I add them into the start menu though?
  11. Tesekkur edirim, I found them
  12. Does anyone know where to get or have the Vista beta games that were ported to XP (purble place etc), the 2005 builds. I remember downloading them before but now unable to find them.
  13. I have a lot of old mpg videos but for some reason no thumbnails appear for them, all other video formats show thumbnails without an issue. I tried both vlc and windows media player but no difference. Lastly my friend tried it on a fresh install of windows 10 he had and it displayed the thumbnails. Is there a way to fix this?
  14. Doesn't seem to work in seamonkey anymore, this error edit: works on my main pc for some reason
  15. CS: source and HL2 deathmatch no longer work, they give this error "Steam Beta must be running to make use of Find Servers". Creating a local server doesn't work too, it complains about the cdkey not being validated. This all clearly means they got update again and don't work anymore. By the way, I am the author of this video:
  16. I just tried your rebuilt version of 360chrome and its nice to see v13 with chromium 86 working on xp without those https issues with the vanilla, just a question? How secure is the browser, is it safe to login into discord or youtube for example?
  17. here is an old hacked installer that has the xp block removed but it no longer works as roblox is a web installer and will try to install the latest version which is incomatible and will give a kernel error. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZsHURBm1wmdDiblH5klNwF178qaLgTTz/view
  18. These are the last versions that work http://i430vx.net/files/XP/EOL/VC1719_redist.XPx64.exe http://i430vx.net/files/XP/EOL/VC1719_redist.XPx86.exe
  19. I solved this, it appears that it had an issue with working in vmware therefore the login screen appeared broken. I tested it and it works fine in both virtualbox and real hardware.
  20. The origin legacy client worked until January 14th 2020 https://help.ea.com/en-gb/help/origin/origin/operating-system-not-supported-by-origin/ it was possible to use origin on xp/vista till then. Now all version of origin 9 are blocked from connecting.
  21. I somewhat figured it out, If I have a windows live id saved it will autofill it allowing me to press the sign in button. The login screen is still glitched but it allows me to log in.
  22. I tried installing msn but didn't change anything, also it says that it only automatically enters your details if you have msn installed
