It works. Times being what they are, I hope that is so for the best :P
March 18, 20215 yr 14 hours ago, VistaLover said: AFAICT, the portable distribution in PAF format, https://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/sumo-portable embeds the official ZIP edition which, as described previously, uses the XP-incompatible OpenSSL-1.1.1j for secure connections; it is my educated guess that the app runs in "degraded mode" under XP just because of openssl; SUMo can't reach securely the main server (Options->Settings->Get Update->SUMo Server) and produces the error you posted... But all hope is not lost, thanks to MSFN member @Reino ; aside from his XP-compatible FFmpeg builds, he also compiles and hosts XP-compatible versions of openssl-1.1.1, last one he's got available is 1.1.1i: https://rwijnsma.home.xs4all.nl/files/openssl/openssl-1.1.1i-win32-xpmod-sse.7z (i.e. not the very latest, which is 1.1.1j, but it'll do fine for SUMo purposes...). My suggestion thus is to download linked package, extract the two DLLs (libcrypto-1_1.dll+libssl-1_1.dll) and overwrite those provided with the SUMo 5.12 PAF distribution; my gut feeling is you'll be then able to connect successfully with the SUMo servers on XP (I have no way to test my theory on XP, so I'm waiting to hear back from you regarding this ... ) ! Best regards The replacement of the 2 libraries also allows the use of the sumo.zip version: https://www.kcsoftwares.com/?download Every now and then the degraded mode appears. And also the wait button for checking the softwares in the list. But they are solvable problems with a little patience. You are great !! Edited March 18, 20215 yr by Sampei.Nihira
March 18, 20215 yr Installation of the new version of PotPlayer 210318 (March 18, 2021) crashes with an error pop-up. If any MSFN member wants to perform a test installation please take the necessary precautions.

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? Edited March 18, 20215 yr by Rod Steel
March 19, 20215 yr @Rod Steel Thank you for contacting support and reporting the problem. No I didn't know that Korean language page. 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.
March 20, 20215 yr @VistaLover New version of Sumo.zip 5.12.9.481: https://kcsoftwares.com/?download The developer seems to have restored the Open SSL Library version "i" compared to the "j" of the previous version. P.S. The developer states that they have never used the Open SSL Library "j": https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/sumo-keep-your-software-up-to-date.314623/page-161#post-2996297 Edited March 21, 20215 yr by Sampei.Nihira
March 24, 20215 yr Sysinternals Suite Updated: March 23, 2021: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/sysinternals-suite I use PsExec. Edited March 24, 20215 yr by Sampei.Nihira
March 24, 20215 yr Do we know how many of those tools still work on XP? I would be very surprised if they all do!
March 24, 20215 yr Last I recall (multiple years ago) The ones I tried needed header modification (system version 6.1 to 5.1), but after doing so they did all work. I didnt try EVERY tool though, and I don't know if it still applies.
March 24, 20215 yr 50 minutes ago, Dave-H said: Do we know how many of those tools still work on XP? I would be very surprised if they all do! True. PsExec works. For example, Process Explorer, although it seems to work, does not report correct values. The last version that certainly works with Windows XP is 16.12. Sigcheck build 2.80 does not work. The build I use is 2.30. Edited March 24, 20215 yr by Sampei.Nihira

I am running version 12.04 (set to high priority), the newer ones feel sluggish even if they work. For the same reason i don't use Process Hacker, although an open-source alternative sound better at first... What i need from a Task Manager replacement is to be able to be fast and reliable when some runaway process tries to grind my system to a halt.

When it is necessary, as in my case for PsExec: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/microsoft-fixes-windows-psexec-privilege-elevation-vulnerability/ Quote .......I was able to confirm this works from Windows 10 all the way back to XP..... Quote ...."There has been new PsExec versions released in 2021 (v2.30 and v2.32), we confirmed them to also be vulnerable to this Local Privilege Escalation with minor PoC adjustments," Wells warned. Yesterday, Microsoft released PsExec v2.33, which includes a new fix for the named pipe local privilege elevation vulnerability...... it is better to install the latest version if it is working in our OS.

It has pretty comprehensive process killing functions, which I've never known to fail.
