I am also in the process of troubleshooting this issue. I am Installing XP on an extra system I have and will report on this issue soon. I would also like to assure anyone thinking of ordering the CD that I am not shipping CD's until this is resolved. I know Flish will have a resolution within the next day.

I was wondering . is the january AutoPatcher XP . all good and ready to go? or is there some still some problems needing to be fixed in it. ?

I only have a 56k . but I make good use of it. I have the december version. and so far it seemd to install good. I just get a error during installing it. the description of the error is not readable. has ???? marks all over it. I just hit the ok button and go.

when I download it I burn it to a disc and use it from there. I also send it to a few friends to help out .

is the january one safe to download and install. I want the full version, becuase I will use it on new install operation systems.

I do end up formating a few times. so I dont mind testing this AutoPatcher XP .

also. I want to thank you guys for making this AutoPatcher XP . it is a very good program. and makes it real nice to have.

Hi all,

I decided to try the AutoPatcher for the first time today. I seem to be having the same problems that other people have reported. After running the Full January AutoPatcher and installing all critical updates, Windows Update still says I don't have them installed.

Some details that my be of use...

I did a clean installation of Windows XP on a VMware virtual machine. The XP CD is a Volume License version with SP1 and "Update Rollup 1 for Microsoft Windows XP (KB826939)" slipstreamed, and VMware Tools was the only software installed prior to running the AutoPatcher. Regional Settings are Australian.

This is a great product, and when this small issue get's resolved I'll be taking it everywhere!

there was a fix for that problem posted in the forums...

but i guess that doesn't matter anymore :)

i installed the january full today...and i had absolutely no problems. i think a few others are having problems though, i'd wait a bit and see what's discovered.

Ehrr ... i just reformatted and used the January FULL autopatch (no updating of old versions here)

All i did after the reformat was run Service pack 1a and then immediatly went to Autopatcher. Among other things, I had .NET and WMP9 updates checked in Autopatcher when it was installing. Here is the problem, I am looking at a .NET program that is refusing to run and WMP version 8, not 9 like I picked. Thinking that something WAY outta place was going on, I looked in the ADD/REMOVE programs .... not a single MS patch was/is listed :blink:

Something went MAJORLY wrong. BUT soemthing must have gone right too since I was able to install my ATI 4.1 drivers. You cannot install them unless directx 9.0b is installed, so SOME of the autopatcher stuff got installed....

What happened?? This happen to anyone else??

FYI, i thought something was fishy (no pun intended FlishFun :p ) when Autopatcher only took about 2 minutes to install everything.

I am going to reformat again tommorow. Hopefully there will not be a repeat :sleep: ......... *sigh* well there goes the last 4 hours of work

I too have just tried to install the FULL Jan edition, on a clean XP SP1 install, and there were lots of things missing from the AP install....

I selected all of the patches, and several of the compnents, and a few other bits...

I then ran windows update to see, and it said there were 14 critical updates available, and 15 components, including alot of stuff I had selected in AP, including, .NET, MP, Journal Viewer, Movie Maker....

It seems that something somewhere is going wrong with this version, the December Full AP worked fine for me (apart from the .net problem, which could be manually fixed)..... Im sure this problem can be identified...??

Im no expert, but will try to investigate what might be going wrong... Im sure if everyone does there bit, we can sort this out :D

Hmmm... well it seems someone else has this issue... how very bizzare. :/ Well, I'll try to do a fresh install today and see what I can find. Also, could some of you having this issue do me a favor?

Go to C:\Windows\System32

Zip up apxp_log.log and apxp_uid.log for me and post it, I'd like to see what they say. (Y)

checked that too...from the logs everything seems fine...

but considering the speed of the installation procedure (comparing it lets say with dec update) is a lot less...about 20mins for ALL the update...

p.s it doesnt even give me the error message supposed to be given when you uninstall messenger...:-)

Hmmm.... weird question... when it installs... does it seem to... well, like "zoom" through the updates? Like they just flash by really fast?

the first 80 or so (from 190 supposed to be installed) seem to install in "normal" time...but i noticed that the green bar dont got throught the whole length (the end of it) when something seems to be installed completely...is this normal?...

after the 100 update its zooming throught the updates like a breeze...but i think those are "small" reg tweaks so dont think it should stay long on them

Okay... huh, somethin' very odd is happenin' here. :blink: So it appears to install normally... but doesn't install... okay, are you on an account with Admin rights? And SP1 is installed?

already did this twice today...:-)

same thing both times...

any other alterations i should do?

Hmmm... okay, when you run the AP this time... uncheck "Keep backups where applicable"... and try it... let's see what happens. (Y) It should run a diff set of updates, with diff switches, wanna see if that helps at all.

    • This Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 32GB RAM with RGB is a great deal for limited time

      By BlueScreenJunky · Posted

      No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350. I mean I see what you mean, that it's a decent price compared to what's currently available, but you really should put a disclaimer in this articles explaining that it's still multiple times more expensive than it used to be.

    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
