I couldn't be happier. Literally.

I advise users who have installed previous versions from Videohelp to uninstall the previous version with registry cleaning and deletion of the DAUM folder in programs and then proceed with a new installation.

I usually use Iobit Uninstaller portable + CCleaner.

I have verified that an installation above the previous version increases the space occupied in HD.

 

WinRAR 5.71 Final has been released today: Link to 32-bit english version, What's new in latest release. Confirmed working on Windows XP SP3.

Even the new WPS Office 2019 would seem very light compared to Libreoffice / OpenOffice.

Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro CS4 are the last 32bit versions and the last to be supported on XP. I tried installing Premiere Pro CS6 on XP x64 and there are missing functions (which I can't remember) but the PE version is indeed 5.2.

All other Adobe products work up to CS6 in both x86 and x64 versions, but Photoshop CS6 is artificially crippled on XP with 3D and other advanced GPU-accelerated features disabled. Using application verifier or fcwin2k to make photoshop.exe and gpu_sniffer.exe think that they're running on Windows 7 SP1, then enabling GPU acceleration will fix that issue and it works as it would on a newer OS.

excellent reporting.

Apparently the player is not able to recognize automatically the presence of new versions (I don't know if it depends on XP)

True.
The player cannot recognize the presence of an update.
Even Sumo (Software Update Monitor) often fails with Potplayer.

If third-party codecs are not installed in the system, such an error appears when opening any video. It is fixed by replacing the ffcodec.dll file from the old version.
