and "4. Can I make requests for features?

Yes, please make them in the original thread until an official request thread is made."

isn't there such a forum for that now? ;) ;)

Not this month... lol Was last month. Too many left over suggestions I still wanna add, so there's no official suggestion forum this month.

I know this will sound incredibly weird but has there been any thought to an autopather 98? I only ask as I have some friends whom I do computer work for who still use Win98 and this would make my work faster. Either that or I just missed it somewhere on the web.

Yes, it's been discussed and it is possible to do, though we won't make an official one. You can check out the work done on an Unofficial AutoPatcher 98 here: Can Autopatcher be customized for Win98/ME patches

Please help me with sysmetrix21.msi

I am having issues running autopatcher. When I click on the .exe and begin the install sysmetrix21.msi is not found and brings up an error. At first I thought this was because I downloaded the update and not the full version. However the file I downloaded is 202MB which is the size of the full download. I would appreciate any help that I could receive as this is very frustrating. In addition I am hoping to add this is an unattended WinXP cd and have it completely updated before I even touch the computer. I would be more then happy to post anything that I figure out if anyone is interested. Thank you

There... that fixes the HUGE type. Now then, you've posted this in another thread already. First, That is the right size... second, I don't know what sysmetrix21.msi is... I've never heard of it, and it's not part of AutoPatcher. Could you give us any more info? :)

make a file named sysmetrix.axp, open it with notepad and write:

"%AutoPatcherXP_Dir%\ProgFiles\sysmetrix21.msi /needed /switches /to /make /silent"

save it and then open the database

make both Targets (normal and NoBackup) point to AXPFiles\sysmetrix.axp

:D

If you need any more help, you can PM me and i can help you directly...

Is this only to be used w/ a fresh install of XP?

Nope, it can be used on your version of XP right now. If you've already installed any updates via Windows Update or manually, it will detect them and deselect them before you begin. :)

blay, watch out for uxtheme option! if you got software like stylexp, uxtheme patcher might cause problems to it... also.. if you have already installed some hotfixes through windows update, its sometime wise not to select uxtheme patcher, since Microsoft has done quite a few tricks with uxtheme.dll in SP2 (and some Pre-SP2 hotfixes...)

Well, everything seems to have went well. Great proggy! Now do I need to keep the files I downloaded on my HD, or can they be deleted?

Thanks! You can delete them, but if you want to upgrade next month, just keep the big exe somewhere (to update you must have an extracted copy of the AP somewhere on your system).

yes, that should be pretty-much the case... however some entries might *not* be detected (from the ones not found in the registry, but in autopatcher log), because the differences between jan and feb release are comparable to those of wi9x kernel vs winnt kernel :p

it can... registry for sure... and most entries found in the log *will* be detected... only a couple might now, since many things have changed...

Also, some things aren't listed in the registry where we check... or if they are, sometimes they will not update the name if they update the version. So I'd say it works with about 90% accuracy. :)

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.
    • with LSTC and ESU, moving to w11 or linux because w10 suddenly will not work when in reality it works and its a better choice, of course there are also developers that only test in 11 or force you to have TPM and Secure boot for the sake of "better security" in games. or most likely people is buying new PC that only ship with 11
    • with LTSC and ESU there are still viable as a stable platform not that they care and let people deal with w11 crashing and burning every month support mean shet if the platform is trash
    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.
