Good news though is all of the other bugs have been fixed even the damn .net fix bug!!

Yeppers!

And a quick note, I have compiled Beta 2 and have sent it out to 3 testers. I've only heard back from one so far, but he reports none of the bugs that were in Beta 1. If the other two agree, then we should have a Gold product, folks. :)

gonna be fun to see what you guys do for SP2 :)

Well, if SP2 integrates the .Net framework like we think it does, then the AutoPatcher will be recoded in .Net for all versions after SP2 is released. That also allows us more funtionality which we really want, but can't have right now.

it looked like it did till I went to do something one day that told me to install it. I'm going to be doing another format here in a few days and I'll check it out. Just need to find something that needs .NET installed for it to run. It does add in DX9 though that I know

I know... I have my fingers crossed that they will include it. :)

First, Welcome! Second, what 11 does it say you need? That's quite odd. Anywho, wait a day or two and try the Jan update. :)

Is there any way that I can configure the Messenger Plus installer so I can change the directory it installs to? This is my only gripe with AutoPatcher at the moment :)

As far as I know, no you can't. This actually isn't the AutoPatcher's fault, it's the way Messenger Plus was designed to run silently.

@Kriz - Uploadin' the Jan Update today... it's final, baby! (Y)

Why do you guys have to tease me about the Feb release when the Jan release isnt even out? Its like Emeril telling me how good the next meal is going to be when Im at the dinner table. Or Stephen King telling me how good his next book is when Im checking out to buy his current. Cruel and unusual punishment for sure.

Anyway, you guys rock.

Can't wait Flish... :D

What you project the CD's to go for?

It will be $10.00 for N. America (Mexico, US, Canada)... that's for AutoPatcher XP Jan Full on a disk (with SP1 included), with a Jewel case. I believe it's $15.00 for anywhere else.

    • For the purpose that it was built for, it’s a great machine. It’s okay to own multiple machines, it’s okay for machines to be different. If every computer was the same, they’d be boring af.
    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
