I will... in the Dec update, of course. :)

@OptiPlex - Oops, didn't notice that, thanks! :D

Since we're trying to stay legit/legal here.....you guys might wanna try out the Xvid codec....its an open source *free* version of the DivX codec....I use it all the time and it works great!!

Xvid Home Page

EDIT: spelling and URL update

Cool, I'll check it out... and as of right now, there are 3 new security patches that will be in the Dec Update:

Q810217 - Buffer Overrun in Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions Could Allow Code Execution

Q828035 - MS03-043: Buffer Overrun in Workstation Service Could Allow Code Execution

Q824145 - Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (November)

For those of you who has Office XP, then including Office XP patches will be a good idea. But well...naaahh...many people dont use it anymore.

Well, this AutoPatcher idea was already on my dreams and I am part happy to see that it exists, part sad to know now that is only for english XP versions :(

So, if it helps, and if it?s in need, I would be very happy to help on an translation for my mother language, Brazilian Portuguese.

If you guys that had this great idea needs a hand just yell me, no costs, no delays, not any kind of pay back need. I would be very happy to help in it just to have this great idea working for me and my m8s here in Brazil.

hey guys i have a great idea for this patcher, make 2 seperate patchers, one with alot of bloat, and one with windows updates

with the one with bloat its fine the way it is...

the one without bloat just add this:

Microsoft Windows XP Pre-SP2 Patches - Critical Updates

Microsoft Windows XP Pre-SP2 Patches - Recommended Updates

Microsoft Internet Explorer Patches

Microsoft Outlook Express Patches

Optional Windows Components- in it just these : any MSN Messenger updates, Windows Messenger Updates, MS Java updates, Sun Java Updates, DirectX updates, .net framework updates, Windows Media Player 9 updates, Windows Movie Maker updates, Microsoft Data Access Components updates, Jet 4.0 updates, MSXML updates, Microsoft SharePoint Migration Tool updates, Microsoft Windows Journal Viewer updates

just added the nov autopatcher to a bootable iso of winxp sp-1....

she's gonna life SOOO much easier... thanks!!

my vote is to keep the autopatcher "lowest common denominator"....

in other words... don't add too many 3rd party apps...

esp. the ones that tend to be VERY audience specific... (winamp, trillian, etc)...

small stuff like startup control panel would be great...

in fact while you're at it, might as well add a few other baseline tools...

-System Recovery Console

-ms clearmem.exe (copied to system32 dir)

-ms bootvis (maybe this one's not for everyone.... dunno?)

-and update the directx control panel to 9.0b

(file version should be 5.3.1.1126, not 4.8.0.400 currently in Nov Update)

again though...

I think the autopatcher should stay MS stuff only (other than the startup cpl) and not filled with apps that we can all burn to a disk ourselves...

If the filesize stays tolerable, I intend to keep a copy on a bootable winxp sp1 disk that I'll be using to clean install xp on MANY other pcs... not just mine...

tis me two cents....

fyi tho.... she's a real beaut! thanks!

Welcome to Neowin :)

ya know...

why not try this instead... to keep em all happy ;)

keep the autopatcher w/ "baseline" apps/tweaks as she is right now...

use the same gui/code to build a second tool called something like "autoinstaller" that contains all of the 3rd party apps...

not to make your life any harder... heh heh ;)

this should keep the autopatcher slim and "trustworthy" and still make life easy for anyone that clean installs their own pc often...

thanks again!

Actually... that could be a good idea. Hmmm... let me work with that a little! ;)

For December, please consider including a way to toggle off this item in Windows Media Player:

"Allow Internet sites to uniquely identify your Player."

It's my understanding that not everyone may want their WMP usage tracked.

Also, please consider reviewing Microsoft's schedule of releasing security updates (perhaps someone else on this list knows more than I do about this) and plan to release monthly updates shortly thereafter? -- so the current months' new M$ security updates can be included in the current month's AP update.

I like the idea of a 'core' setup and an 'extras' installer.

I appreciate everyone's work and enthusiasm on this subject. It's truly generous!!!

:) tom

Personally i would like to see the ata-66 tweak which i can send to anybody that needs it, and yeah i would second the idea of having the months windows updates included so maybe the schedule could be set for the day after the updates because people dont want to be too far behind critical updates.

The Fade in effect has to go, and have you thought of using the /o slash on all type 1 hotfixes (just the white icon) this speeds up install no end because it doesnt check for OEM files or sumthing im not exactly sure i just know it doesnt do any damage and speeds up install very much.

as for the diffrent packages i think the way the system is at the minute is perfect, i wouldnt add too many 3rd party applications because everyone has diffrent taste and preference and to please everyone you would need a file terrabytes in size.

well just my 2 cents anyways

    • 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.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
