Try to start up VLC (video player) and get no further than this message:

vlc.exe ? Entry Point Not Found

The procedure entry point CreateTimerQueueTimer could not be located in the dynamic link KERNEL32.dll

How do I cure this? OS is NT4.

Read the instructions: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html

It is clear that NT4 is not supported.

Are you sure that?s the problem? VLC has been working fine on this NT4 PC for years. I believe I did recently download the latest codecs for VLC, do you think at the same time it upgraded VLC to a later version, that?s not NT4 compatible, compared to our previously installed version, that was?

I can?t discover what edition this VLC is. When I click on Properties there?s no mention of version.

Okay, so looking to install another video player. Found this list:

http://www.videohelp.com/tools/sections/video-players?orderby=Rating

Couldn?t find whether Media Player Classic was NT4 compatible or not, but tried it anyway. Got some failure notice when trying to install, that I didn?t make a note of. Then found another player, GOM, that is NT compatible, but got the following message when trying to install:

Cannot proceed the installation because Dll Regiltration failed.

It did carry on with the install, only to get the following message when trying to open it:

GOM.exe ? Entry Point Not Found

The procedure entry point CreateToolhelp32Snapshot could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNAL32.dll.

Sounds like the same failure notice as the VLC player

NT4 is not meant for multimedia type stuff. it is meant for server type stuff and thats why your having problems.unless your running some kind of server thingy i would replace NT4 with something that will handle your vlc like Windows XP/Windows7/No Windows Vista.

The PC has worked flawlessly with video/audio for 10 years, with both MS and VLC players, so I?m doubting that?s the problem.

then may i ask what versions of those video/audio players are you using? if you are running the newest then explain how you got it working then? like i said NT4 is not for multimedia unless you somehow hacked it heavily so it could as Server 2003 and i believe 2008 can be hacked into being a workstation but it would take alot of effort.

    • Hundreds of printer models with weak password algorithms exposed, no firmware patch possible by Usama Jawad Many people don't think or care about it, but printer security is a pretty important avenue when it comes to evaluating your cybersecurity posture. Last month, it was found that the companion software for Procolored printers was distributing malware. Now, it has been revealed that hundreds of printer models all over the globe are susceptible to attacks targeting their admin credentials. Bleeping Computer has reported that CVE-2024-51978 is a one of the eight printer vulnerabilities recently discovered by security researchers. Combined, these allow authenticated and unauthenticated attackers to discover the default admin password, perform remote code execution (RCE), crash the printer, and leak other sensitive information. Severity ratings go from a score of 5.3 (medium) to 9.8 (critical), indicating that these are pretty severe vulnerabilities. The most dangerous vulnerability in there exposes the default admin password, and primarily affects Brother printers. This is because Brother utilizes a rather weak password generation algorithm that is highly dependent upon the device's serial number and a static salt table. Analysis of the code revealed that the first 16 characters of the serial number are appended with eight bytes from a static salt table, with the results being hashed with SHA256 and Base64-encoded. Finally, the first eight characters are then taken and some of them are replaced with special characters to form the password. The static nature of the password generation algorithm means that an attacker can chain various existing vulnerabilities to get access to your serial number and eventually your default admin password. It is important to note that not all printer models are affected by all of these flaws, but the default admin password exposure does affect 695 models. The breakdown for the number of printer model affected by the eight vulnerabilities is as follows: Brother: 689 Fujifilm: 46 Konica Minolta: 6 Ricoh: 5 Toshiba: 2 Brother has informed the security researchers that it cannot fully remediate the password generation vulnerability through a firmware patch. It can only fix the issue in its next printer models by patching the problem during the manufacturing process. This makes it crucial for customers of affected models to change their default admin password as soon as possible, which is good practice anyway.
    • Win11 being 2.3x faster than Win10, so that means without changing any hardware, Doom Eternal will run at over 2x the framerate? Or that any computational stuff will be done 2x faster just because of OS? Press X for doubt. I wonder where they pulled these metrics out of coz they make no sense. Not to mention my laptop with Ryzen 2500U that used to run Windows 11 simply CAN'T anymore because of BS arbitrary requirements Microsoft has imposed in Win11 that weren't there intiially. So, that laptop is now running Ubuntu or Fedora and runs at 1000000000000000000000x faster speeds because Windows 11 just doesn't work at all so it gets DNF.
    • “Ask Photos” is coming to more Google Photos users in the US by Paul Hill Google has announced several improvements to a Gemini-powered Google Photos feature called Ask Photos. The feature launched last year in early access and it was great for longer search requests, however, when users typed “Dog” or “Beach” looking for those types of pictures, Ask Photos underperformed. Now, Google has addressed this and is bringing the feature to more eligible users in the United States. The search giant said that users enjoyed asking queries such as “suggest photos that’d make great phone backgrounds” or “what did I eat on my trip to Barcelona?” and getting Gemini-powered responses to these complex questions. Unfortunately, simple searches like “beach” or “dogs” were generating less than optimal results and people complained. To remedy the situation, Google has brought the best of Google Photos’ classic search feature to Ask Photos to improve latency. Easy, short requests will be dealt with by the old search mechanism and when you ask complex queries, it will switch over to the Gemini-powered search results. Now that Google has addressed this main issue of simple searches by integrated functionality from the previous search model, the company feels more confident to open up beyond early access and deliver it to more users in the United States. To be eligible, you must be 18+, be in the US, have your Google Account language set to English (United States), and have Face Groups turned on. This feature is only available on Android and iOS. To start using it, open Google Photos and tap on Ask at the bottom, then press Try now and agree to the terms. If you do not see the Ask button, it means you’re not yet eligible. The feature also can’t be used on computers yet. Hopefully, Google will quickly expand this feature outside the US so that international users can try it out too.
    • When are MS going to learn. Traditional home users who email, watch cat videos and perform basic tasks don't care if W11 is slightly faster...assuming it's true. Few home users care about faster speed and more secure claims. In any event, it's irrelevant. MS stopped caring about home users years ago as evident by their hostile, anti choice home user policies.
