Catsxp Forum

Mr @Catsxp, apparently I misunderstood, so I have to install Catsxp [135.5.4.3] and also i should install Catsxp [137.5.5.4 beta-2] at the same time and then copy d3dcompiler_47.dll to [137.5.5.4 beta-2]?

Directly using the portable version for file replacement testing... can it solve the problem? Just give it a try

Yes, I will try, thanks!
But before that, I will try your advice. Windows Update service doesn't existe anymore on my os , windows update has disappeared. I of course have Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (x86), but I'm going to download and reinstall Windows 7 Service Pack 1 from the link proposed by this YouTube video. I'm taking a huge risk, and my eee PC risks becoming unusable, but I like using Catsxp, so I'm taking the risk. YouTube tells me the link may be dangerous. What do you think, Mr. Catsxp? Should I reinstall Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (x86) from this link?

As Mr. catsxp advises, the solution is to patch the system (Win7), not the browser. If you cannot install MS updates, your system is corrupted. If you have no system backup, you will have to reinstall it from scratch.

I have just installed Catsxp 5.5.3 on 32 bit version of Win7 SP1 (other PC) and it works without errors.

As for D3DCompiler_47.dll - if it is properly installed into the system, is has precedence over the version included in the Catsxp installation directory.
The file version included in KB4019990 is 6.3.9600.18611. Do not try to use Win10 or 11 version.

Yes Mr @Redfox, I think my system is corrupted, I downloaded service pack 1 and I installed it but I got a message "service pack 1 is already installed", I tried other windows patch but I got an error message.....I will wait for the progress of the problem resolution for Chromium and Catsxp, if the problem is not fixed, I will come back to use special updated firefox for windows 7 even if I prefer to use chromium because it allows me to display temporary video while downloading....or I stay with Catsxp 135 and chromium 135, I report other users have reported on github having problems with chromium 136 on windows 7.....if even updated firefox does not work anymore, then I will follow your advice and I will be forced to go to the repairer and reinstall it from scratch, thanks

I was wondering which MS update caused Catsxp to work (again), so I restored my system backup image to the date before installing the updates, and I am 100% sure that only one MS patch is needed. It is KB4019990, which installs the file D3DCompiler_47.dll version 6.3.9600.18611 to the system folder.
So, in my opinion, problem solved for now.

Good news !!

the new debug version of Chromium-for-windows-7 with previous sdk version fixes the issues on chromium 136 !!!


"I've built a new version 136.0.7081.0 that's identical to this release, except for reverting commit chromium/chromium@fca8e87.

This means the build uses Windows SDK version 10.0.22621.2428, so the issue shouldn't occur in this version.

Thanks Mr @Redfox for your valuable advice! And sorry, I don't receive notifications when you comment. I realize I haven't seen many of your messages, sadly

No, I don't have a backup. My Eee PC is too weak. I disabled backup.

Yes, the problem is probably KB4019990.

Sadly, I can't install KB4019990. I have an error message. I probably have a corrupted system. Please, can you help me repair my Windows OS? Apparently, there are special commands via CMD to repair Windows OS?

I found this software:

https://wureset.com/ made by @WUReset

and

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/downlo ... ll-in-one/

Do you recommend installing these programs to repair my Windows OS and install KB4019990 to fix the Chromium 136 problem? ?

Mr @Catsxp, Mr @Redfox, Mr @E3kskoy7wqk just told me:

"I don't believe the root cause is related to d3dcompiler_47.dll at all. I initially discussed the d3dcompiler_47.dll issue here:

#47 (comment)

In fact, all builds I provided in https://github.com/e3kskoy7wqk/Chromium ... /tag/debug already use Windows 7-compatible versions of d3dcompiler_47.dll, but the problem persists."

So,

now I'm currently completely exhausted and tired from the stress and after testing several versions, so our wish please , it it doesn't tire too much Mr @Catsxp, we dream that the hero Mr. @Catsxp makes a special version of Catsxp for Windows 7 32-bit OS based on the previous SDK version, thanks!

Why bother yourself like this? It's already said to be a problem with the D3DCompiler_47.dll version. Simply download version 6.3.9600.18611 to replace and overwrite it will solve the problem
Did you ask the browser to solve the system issue? It's meaningless to be compatible with Windows 7 that is not fully blooded! It's a stupid thing……

Update :

Mr. @ZepopaOwleMukasa advises me :

"
@trimechee

Try and copy my D3DCompiler_47.dll into your System32 folder before doing anything permanent: D3DCompiler_47.zip

This way you can bypass the update not installing."

Mr. @e3kskoy7wqk advises me :

"You can give it a try, but don't hold your breath.

From what I understand, d3dcompiler_47.dll only affects performance and isn't the cause of this particular issue. (See: #45)"


here my response :


"Thanks Mr. @ZepopaOwleMukasa!!

So, I download and copy-paste "D3DCompiler_47.dll" into the Windows / System32 folder and I get this message:

"There is a D3DCompiler_47.dll file with the same name that already exists. Do you want to replace it or keep both versions?"

Mr. @ZepopaOwleMukasa and Mr. @e3kskoy7wqk, should I replace my existing D3DCompiler_47.dll file with the new D3DCompiler_47.dll sent by Mr. @ZepopaOwleMukasa? It seems to me that these are two identical files with the same name and size.

If the problem is likely to become even more complex to resolve, I think the best thing to do is for Mr. @e3kskoy7wqk to try forking vxkex to modify it and add the missing APIs to Windows 7 OS!

I also found other updated forks of vxkex."
