icon11.gif BitTorrent is a P2P system that makes transfering large files (or groups of files) amongst a large group of people easy, fast and efficient. The BitTorrent network is impressive mostly for the speed and reliability with which you get files that have been recently released. As long as a .torrent file has enough people sharing then you can be assured that it will start quickly and maintain a good download speed. Always remember to leave your BitTorrent client open to help distribute the files!

icon13.gif Read the FAQ before installing AutoPatcher

icon13.gif IE6SP1 is a major update, if you dont have it installed prior to using autopatcher, make sure its selected for installation the first time you do, otherwise there can be serious consequences. Also note that some updates will only be available to install after IE6SP1 is installed, so youll need to run AP at least twice.

PLEASE READ:

there is an bug in the 2k & 2k3 english releases that i forgot to fix before i uploaded them.

please extract the contents of the attached file to c:\program files\autopatcher or wherever you installed autopatcher to.

fyi the bug is a problem with the installation instructions for KB922481 (a security update for the .Net 2.0 framework) that causes its installation to fail. KB922481 was added in the july 2006 release and the bug was spotted afterwards, its fixed it in the xp august release but i forgot about doing it in the 2k & 2k3 releases. this fix will correct the issue. this fix will be present in the september releases.

aug06_2k_2k3_922481_fix.zip

Note with winzip 9 (not sure on other versions) use the 'extract' button, dragging and dropping will loose the folder structure and render the fix useless because theyll be in the wrong folder, the aim is to over write the copies in c:\program files\autopatcher\modules\components\dotnet\

You MUST use Blaze's fix! Take it from first post in this topic... For Windows XP users are not any problem.

I have all three versions of august 2006, I have copied the AP XP files for dotnet v2 files into the 2K & 2k3 version and this has fixed the problem :D

Blaze,

When I extracted the fix under the AutoPatcher 2K folder (Programs Files>AutoPatcher 2K) it adds a Components folder under the AutoPatcher root, but there is also the same folder under Modules. When I looked at the AutoPatcher XP the Components folder is under Modules only. Is that correct for 2K as well for AutoPatcher 2K3?

Thanks

You can delete the Components folder under the AutoPatcher root, it contain an empty folder named dotnet.

You need ONLY c:\program files\autopatcher\modules\components\dotnet\ folder.

@EZRecovery, when i made the zip file i initially added the components folder to it instead of the modules folder, i then deleted the contents and added the modules folder. i guess winzip retained the original folder too and recreated it. you can delete it if you like its not doing anything. ill add removal instructions to get rid of it in the next releases.

I noticed that the folder Components > dotnet was empty.

I wanted to make sure it was safe to delete. :p

A minor typo in AP2K.

In Registry Tweaks, Speed, Disable Timestamps, the description says: "Disable file/folder access timestamps, SPEED_ENUing up NTFS file system performance."

SPEED_ENUing?

BTW, is there any real reason that AP5.1 in AP2k has the maximise button disabled? I get around it by using Cmdow to move and resize the window, but maximise would be easier.

IIRC it's because the button can only be toggled at design time and it has to be disabled for some reason I can't remember

KB921398 in XP Autopatcher aug-06 enu full.

What is it?

Have had apr-06 full AP, uninstalled it, installed aug-06.

Machine (P4 Prescott 2,8G-1G RAM) hangs at KB921398 w CPU-usage 100% when running Autopatcher!

Something seriously wrong with the machine?

Anybody got a clue?

Thanks in advance,

Trying to extracte the "replacement" file. I get "Error in zip structure" and the file size is not 1.83 KB.

like this user, I too cannot download the replacement file.

it is 1.26KB after download, and WINZIp reports a bad zip file. (*sigh*) :no:

I have tried downloading it from three different pc's...

is there another link to pull it from? :pinch:

    • BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta by Razvan Serea When your computer is getting full, BleachBit quickly frees disk space. When your information is only your business, BleachBit guards your privacy. With BleachBit you can free cache, delete cookies, clear Internet history, shred temporary files, delete logs, and discard junk you didn't know was there. Designed for Linux and Windows systems, it wipes clean thousands of applications including Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari, and more. Beyond simply deleting files, BleachBit includes advanced features such as shredding files to prevent recovery, wiping free disk space to hide traces of files deleted by other applications, and vacuuming Firefox to make it faster. Better than free, BleachBit is open source. BleachBit has many useful features: Delete your private files so completely that "even God can't read them" according to South Carolina Representative Trey Gowdy. Simple operation: read the descriptions, check the boxes you want, click preview, and click delete. Multi-platform: Linux and Windows Free of charge and no money trail Free to share, learn, and modify (open source) No adware, spyware, malware, browser toolbars, or "value-added software" Translated to 64 languages besides American English Shred files to hide their contents and prevent data recovery Shred any file (such as a spreadsheet on your desktop) Overwrite free disk space to hide previously deleted files Portable app for Windows: run without installation Command line interface for scripting and automation CleanerML allows anyone to write a new cleaner using XML Automatically import and update winapp2.ini cleaner files (a separate download) giving Windows users access to 2500+ additional cleaners Frequent software updates with new features Going beyond standard deletion of files, BleachBit has several advanced cleaners: Clear the memory and swap on Linux Delete broken shortcuts on Linux Delete the Firefox URL history without deleting the whole file—with optional shredding Delete Linux localizations: delete languages you don't use. More powerful than localepurge and available on more Linux distributions. Clean APT for Debian, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Linux Mint Find widely-scattered junk such as Thumbs.db and .DS_Store files. Execute yum clean for CentOS, Fedora, and Red Hat to remove cached package data Delete Windows registry keys—often where MRU (most recently used) lists are stored Delete the OpenOffice.org recent documents list without deleting the whole Common.xcu file Overwrite free disk space to hide previously files Vacuum Firefox, Google Chrome, Liferea, Thunderbird, and Yum databases: shrink files without removing data to save space and improve speed Surgically remove private information from .ini and JSON configuration files and SQLite3 databases without deleting the whole file Overwrite data in SQLite3 before deleting it to prevent recovery (optional) BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta release notes: BleachBit 6.0.1 beta is now available for testing. This maintenance-focused release includes bug fixes, updated translations, and a range of safe enhancements. This release fixes a Windows security issue that could allow arbitrary file deletion during privileged cleaning (reported by Zeze with TeamT5). It also adds new cleaners (including a DNS cache cleaner, Claude Code, and Visual Studio Code forks), support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles, new deep scan options for developer directories like node_modules and venv, and safer, faster file shredding. All Platforms Added cleaners for Claude Code, DNS cache, and many Visual Studio Code forks. Added support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles. Chrome can now clean downloaded AI models. Deep Scan can optionally remove venv, __pycache__, node_modules, and .angular directories. Deep Scan is faster by skipping directories on the keep list. File shredding is safer, faster, and leaves fewer recoverable traces. Improved handling of cookies, symlinks, Unicode filenames, external processes, and configuration files. Improved Expert Mode warnings and long warning dialogs. Fixed crashes related to cleaner detection, invalid Unicode, and malformed cleaner data. Clipboard is now cleared automatically after shredding files via paste operations. Linux Added AppImage support. Added cleaners for Visual Studio Code, Codeium, Librewolf (.deb), Transmission (Flatpak), and Profanity. Improved Linux trash detection, including Snap-installed applications and mounted drives. Fixed Wayland root CLI issues and several Snap-related problems. Improved package dependencies, AppStream metadata, and desktop file handling. Fixed startup crashes when Python Requests is unavailable. Windows Fixed a security vulnerability that could allow arbitrary file deletion when cleaning with elevated privileges. Added %WindowsSystem% variable support. Improved clipboard clearing using native Windows APIs. Improved installer experience on unsupported Windows versions. Reduced installer size and improved application robustness. Fixed Unicode handling, filename anonymization, Git revision reporting, and splash screen stability.

    • DriversCloud 12.1.6 by Razvan Serea With DriversCloud (formerly My-Config.com), you can explore your computer easily, safely and free. The application quickly scans your PC and identifies the hardware and software components. DriversCloud then establishes a list of the different drivers compatible with your OS and hardware. Download the drivers needed for the proper functioning of your computer. To detect your drivers, DriversCloud also displays a detailed summary of your hardware and software configuration, analyzes your BSOD, monitors in real-time your PC voltages and temperatures and lets you share your configuration online. Once the hardware components have been detected, you will be able to obtain with just a few clicks the latest drivers corresponding to the identified hardware. You can record your configuration on the site for free, and can get the corresponding URL to post the configuration to technical forums, e-mail and social networks. You can also download the detection result (the configuration) as a PDF file. To protect the user's privacy and data confidentiality, a 4-level confidentiality system was created that filters the XML marks and gives control to the user. The default level can be modified in the preferences. Using the maximum level will prevent the user from publishing his configuration and generating a corresponding PDF file. In non-connected mode, each XML configuration is stored on the server for one day (for practical reasons). However, you are given the opportunity to manually delete it. Created in 2004, and continually improved, My-Config.com has established itself on the web as a free service to PC users running Windows and Linux operating systems. The service is designed to work with the most common Internet browsers (Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari).
