well, my server is back up :D, but you guys crashed the harddrive, the harddrive got to hot from all the ussage, and died from over heading, i litterally have a burnt spt on the hd :p, everything is backed up daily so its not problem but i am restricting acess to the file till all the heat calms down, maybe in about 2-3 days i will alow people tp download from it again, but i will put the update back online becuase there are not update mirrors atm, while the full is locked acess to it, the update is on :D

i know the MD5 sum was posted earlier...

but i'd really like to see a sum for the executable package, as well as for all the files when unpacked...

i've downloaded several different "versions" of this release, several different hashes.

i'd like to figure out which one is the right one! lol

Here is a sum of the HTTP version, as well as its unpacked contents.

Wow... sorry dude! A casualty of war I guess... :blink:

HTTP has underscores, torrent has space....

That is weird :huh:

Both of my downloads were torrent files, I couldnt get the HTTP links to work :no:

And both files have the underscore on the executable file :yes:

Anyway, I got all my 4 boxes up and running without any problem

I'll invite for the round :beer:

:D

Hmmm... so I guess someone somehow aquired the non-underscored version and got it out on Torrent somewhere... how odd! Oh well, it's easy enough to fix if ya got one. :D

Just wanted to tell the author of the setup program that the program starts at DESKTOP CENTER... this is not very good for me or any other multimonitor user.. =) as I program myself i know there is an option for it so please set it to screen center, not DESKTOP center..

this is not that a big deal, just annoying when you run the update once a month... *grin*

I'm sure that can be fixed. :D

@DigitalFreedom - Will do. (Y)

Update:

Flishfun,

Unfortunately My Hosting is down for the moment, and more than likely indefinitely for the Autopatcher. My Host Globat.com didn't seem to like the "Slashdotting", their server took for a few hours, and I assume headaches it caused for them. Anywho, it's supposed to be a no-no for bit-torrent files so instead of getting banned I'll haveto pull the files! Apparently even after I pulled the BT files, the exe for the December Full and Update was dramatically utilizing about 70% on their server. Sorry :( Well, I guess the good news is that I hosted about 20gigs in 10 hours on release day...and the BitTorrent apparently helped a ton of people. Maybe I'll just help out releasing the monthly updates through BT now...(BT - Now upto 661 Times the file's been snatched/downloaded)

Just wanted to give an update, you can pull all my links now for aj-designs.com...

-AJ

Uh-oh! That means somehow one of the old versions slipped out somewhere! Okay, this is what you do...

Rename:

AutoPatcherXP Menu.exe --> AutoPatcherXP_Menu.exe

AutoPatcher Menu.ico --> AutoPatcher_Menu.ico

AutoPatcher Menu.apm --> AutoPatcher_Menu.apm

And edit the autorun.inf and change:

[autorun]

open=AutoPatcher Menu.exe

icon=AutoPatcher Menu.ico

to

[autorun]

open=AutoPatcher_Menu.exe

icon=AutoPatcher_Menu.ico

That will fix that issue. (Y) I thought we fixed it, but I guess someone somewhere got the first flawed version (that's the only flaw).

EDIT - Looks like AgEnTsMiTh beat me to it... anywho, anyone having this prob, this will fix it. :D

evidently I got this beta version also! However I clicked a http link #1 while downloading it! If that helps! The only question I have are we postivie that these are all the changes needed to fix it or could there be other problems in some of the code files? just wondering :)

Well, basically the problem with pulling that version would be everyone that is sharing on BT would haveto re-download it all over again, for some minor changes. It was just a little bit of bad luck before it was actually released or else I would've updated the BT version...To me the change didn't impact an extremely large amount of people anyway...Hopefully it didn't cause a lot of headaches for the http hosts out there by many people having to re-download the newest changes/build, etc...

HOLY ****, i checked the backed up logs, remember i backed up my site every 3 hours, so this is what i find

My server was up for only 3-5 hours, on the first day, my billing cycle starts on the 10th, look at my banwith usage for that first few hours !!! 87,643.086 MB plus the 20GB from all last night!, so my server has served about at least 90 GB in 4 hours, and then another 20 GB over last night!!!!!, thats 110GB i have served! **** thats huge no wonder my little 60GB harddrive died

That is .. Insane dude :omg:

Just blame FlishFun :laugh:

Well seems most available mirrors attm are borked (unreliable downloads, and so on), still thanks alot!

can't wait to try this out :) :D

Yeah, sorry... had to take a bunch down... talkin' to a couple people about uploading it to theirs, so we'll see. :)

@DigitalFreedom - Yeah, this little proggie is quite popular, huh? ;) Who'd have ever thought?

@trentm - The file you got wasn't Beta... it was the final release, just that bug was discovered before links were given out and was pulled down and uploaded with a fix. I just have no idea how some people got it. haha

Hi flish,

just wanted to let you know that i just installed the full install (december update) on my 1 year old XP SP1a installation. It installed perfectly with no errors or anything. so i just want to tell you that i can confirm that you've brought a perfect product.

Finally i can disable windows update :happy:

good job mate, i appreciate it.

No prob! And it's not 100% perfect, I'd say 99%, a couple of bugs were found that only happen on some PCs, but we found a fix, so I'll say Jan's Release will probably be 99.5% perfect. :D Anywho, Welcome to Neowin, and I'm glad you like it! (Y)

btw, i don't know if its mentioned yet.. couldnt find it anywhere tho.

Please tell people to disable their antivirus products like norton,panda etc. before installinging the xpautopatcher cuz the antivirus program will block the .vbs scripts that are used in the installation. (ive seen it happen at several people here around me)

:)

    • 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.
