Unofficial AutoPatcher for Windows 2000 Thread


Recommended Posts

i have a question,

why does ap 2000 need sp4?can't sp3 be used because i've had problems with sp4 like slowdowns n errors

i know sp3 is a bit older

Well, it's just because SP4 is the newest, that's all. (Y)

I know you have said that autopatcher needs sp4 installed, but is it absolutely neccessary? Most of the critical patches can be run on a minimum of SP2.

Its would seem its the same patch for SP2 ,3 or 4 in Win 2k.

It would be nice for autopatcher to be able to run on SP2 as a minimum. (for critical patches at least)

Btw, great work ppl. :D

If SP4 is unstable on your computer, then you may have problems with the hardware. Many people find SP4 stable so I don't know what you are talking about...

"changes network settings"? Where?

Well I beta tested it (SP4) and the few errors I had were all fixed, so I'm kinda curious what it does to everyone's systems so that they don't like it.

a poll sounds like a good idea

also it was ntoskrnl.exe that kept giving me problems n forced me to reformat a few times(network install of sp4,i don't use the express installs)

that ntoskrnl.exe is part of sp4 and the other service packs

oh and it's something to do with the network installation of sp4 that screws up and it gave me an explorer.exe error after i tried to installing ie6

the express sofar hasen't caused any problems and i can't wait for the autoaptcher 2000 for when it gets released,all in good time,strange the express install seems to like me?!? :laugh:

did you ever consider that the network install you downloaded may have been corrupted during the transfer, and try to redownload it?

my copy of the network install installs right but afterwards my icons n stuff starts disappearing n don't show up(like under add/remove the text labels n icons disappeared wheras under the express it is fine(it upgraded from sp3 network install to sp4

strange that the express install don't do those weird things

i never had a problem with the network install of sp3 or express of sp3

maybe getting a fresh copy would probably help

Okay guys, I have a question for you (anyone willing to try, let me know what you find)...

If you install a Windows Server (or Advanced Server) patch on a Windows 2000 Pro install and install it silently.... will it actually install? Or will it just quit. And either way, will it bring up dialog? I have an idea, but I sorta need to know first. :)

The patches are same to the best of my knowledge and it wouldn't matter. Server-only patches are separate.

If you are really desparate for a definitive answer, I'll put my 3-in-1 into good use and see what happens :o

arrr me is a software pirate, avast we swab!

Well if you're willin'.... give it a shot... install some server-only patches as a silent install on Win2k Pro and let me know what happens. :) Arrrr!!

Actually I remembered... I did that exact same thing long time ago.

Used Win2k updates I downloaded for pro to install on server edition. Worked fine.

GIV EME TEH FREAKIN DOWNLO A D LINKS @!!! NOW WF KNRNWI!!

    • 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.
