Complete List of What is in AutoPatcher XP 4.5


Recommended Posts

hehe, i remember a whole discussion wether we should include it or not (because of the spyware/adware it contained)... since we found a way to install it without the junk, we decided to include it :)

Yep, and everyone cheered! :) I love the new handwriting plugin for it... so much that I included it. lol

btw: yesterday my MSN Messenger would crash when opening chat windows because of it... dunno why... but im Handwritting-less since yesterday :p

Really? Weird... though on the MSN Messenger Plus forums some reported that, though no one knew why.

haha... weird!? tell me about it! i couldnt receive any msg for a few hours... then i tried to see if it works without the plugin and it works great... so i guess ill wait for the next version :p

Yeah, it seems to work fine for most, just a few have the issue. I'll keep checking in, and when they have a new version I'll update it. Either way, it beats the alternative (18 MB of fun!).

Hi all,

I came across an option in the new Feb version that I'm not familiar with, & it isn't well explained in it's description.

The option in Question is in the "Microsoft Windows XP Optional Tools & Components"section, & it is:

"Windows XP 24-bit Stereo Sound" (Description: Replaces the default XP sounds with the original 24-bit sounds)

The question:

I assume that "default XP sounds" refers to the "default XP system sounds", but what the hell is meant by "the original 24-bit sounds" ?

(I would have presumed to call the sounds being replaced as "Originals")

Can somebody please explain exactly which sounds are replaced, by which sounds?

FlishFan,

Perhaps you might look at improving this description.

Cheers.

Ah! Sorry 'bout that. When Windows XP was still Windows Whistler, they had these AWESOME 24bit stereo sounds. But when the OS went Gold, they subbed them for the crappier ones. So this tweak replaces the new crappy XP sounds with the original 24bit Stereo ones. :happy:

    • Along with that and very unfortunate for Linux, the AI boom/tariffs/global supply chain instability really destroyed any chances of it getting a decent chunk of market share. By all accounts, if a Steam Deck was still available for $399 (with tons of alternatives releasing at $500-$800 - instead of $1500+ now) and the Steam Machine was out there for $499, I think a lot of people WOULD have been willing to try SteamOS and switch away from Windows. But yeah, with the crazy jacked up prices now, people have to make safe bets with their money.
    • Neowin hasn't been covering the Ladybird browser but it has been posted about on a lot of tech and Linux/open source sites. I have been following the effort myself for almost a year now. Cloudflare and Proton are among their sponsors. You can read the why here--> https://ladybird.org/#about
    • That's really the user's problem, not the developers. It's not like the Windows 10 EOL was a surprise. Once a product goes out of support, you have to understand YOU are owning the risk of running it - the rest of the world will move on, maybe you'll be OK, maybe you'll be OK for a while, maybe you'll have an issue.... But you can't expect devs to write or certify software for dead operating systems.
    • Not mentioned in this blog post is that Linux has now dropped for 2 months in a row. At a hight of 5.33% in March, then 4.52% in April and now 3.99% in May. I suspect the end of Windows 10 got a bunch of people to try Linux, fueled by all the Microsoft hate, and rabid social media push of that....and now they are going back to Windows 11 because of the normal Linux issues. The vast majority of PC gamers want to use their computers to game and not trouble shoot why a game wont work, or half work.
