Updated DirectX 9.0b installation? And what does Powermenu.reg do?

I found a new (and better) way to make DX9 install silent. And the Powermenu.reg file is part of the PowerMenu installation. It adds new options to your menu. Not reallys a RegTweak, but is counted as one since it's a Reg File.

Sounds great...*giglgling like a little girl in anticipation*...

i dunno if its been mentioned before but is there a war to remove the link to the desktop made by java..

If you mean the shortcut, just delete it. I can make a tweak to remove it, possibly. (Y)

First of all, Hello and thanx for this nice AutoPatch Program. I used it once so far (Jan. Full Update) and was totally thrilled with it. I've browsed the forum a little and the AutoPatcher.com website to see if I could find an answer to my Q's b4 I posted but either I've overlooked it or I'm just an A$$, (my wife would say I'm just an A$$) so here is my Q's, What is the difference between the Full, Lite and UltraLite versions ? I DL'ed the full Jan version so do I need to DL the full version with every release ? And if not how do I get just an Update, like for feb since I don't see a link for just an update, and install it ? I apologize if all my Q's have been covered b4 but right now I'm doing a massive recovery of ALL my HDD's on my "baby" so I'm a little frustrated and aggravated with my system that crashed and left me with 4 unreadable drives............

Again Thanx PeePs for your help and tolerance.

Detained

Full contains the all the glory of AutoPatcher... meaning: hotfixes (security updates), addons (like wmp9, net framework etc), bonus apps (like uxtheme patcher, powermenu, powertoys etc), and regtweaks...

Now, for Lite and UltraLite, take a look for yourself: :D https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=146762

Hi guys,

I read the whole topic, and i'm thinking 'bout downloading the march release of AutopatcherXP.

I never used this app before, so I have some questions: :woot:

- Should i format my pc before i install this software?

- Is it better to install earlier releases, or can i install March right away. (do i miss things if i start with march)

that's it, hope you guys can answer this ones!

i still dont trust this program

you tell it not to install things and it doesnt anyways

and its quicker just to load winupdate and let it do its thing anyways

still not conviced with it

nice idea but it just still doesnt work

DKAngel, you don't seem to understand what AutoPatcher is all about. We didn't intend to replace Windows Update. But tell me:

1. If you have 10 computers to install, which is more efficient: a. download the same stuff from WU 10 times b. download them once with AutoPatcher and then apply them to the 10 computers...

2. If tomorrow morning your girlfriend's computer needed a format, but her internet connection was too slow (or she didnt have an Internet connection at all), wouldn't it be convenient for you to have a CD which can update her computer without needing an internet connection?

You see, i really dont expect people who only have one computer (and who never do a format) to use AutoPatcher... Initially, AutoPatcher was made with administrators in mind, but it seems to work out for other cases as well (being able to update any computer, be it online or offline).

...but it seems to work out for other cases as well (being able to update any computer, be it online or offline)...

Especially if you're an onsite tech and you go to people that have dialup. This turns into a Life Saver. Just ask AgEnTsMiTh. (Y)

I just finished downloading the March Update, and when I go to open it I get an error saying "Archive Not supported" does anyone know what it means. I did the February Full Install back in March. I am running all the latest patches and what not. Any help would be great!

Thanks

Travis

    • NirLauncher 1.30.24 by Razvan Serea NirLauncher is a suite of more than 200 of NirSoft's excellent portable freeware Windows utilities, and provides an interface that makes it easy to find and launch the tools you need. Which works for us - because there's something here for everyone. Have you forgotten a password stored in your browser or email client, for instance? Recovery tools here may be able to find them for you. Maybe you'd like to check your hard drive health? A disk tool will display its S.M.A.R.T. data (if the drive supports this), so you can view read/ write errors, temperature and other useful details. Is your system unstable? The System Utilities section includes several tools that can help to explain why your PC might be crashing. And there are a host of other programs on offer in categories like "Network Monitoring", "Web Browser Tools", "Video/ Audio Related Utilities", "Outlook/ Office Utilities" and more. Please note, perhaps because a few of these tools can be used maliciously (the password revealers, say), some antivirus programs will flag them as threats. We've never had a problem with any NirSoft tool, though, and you can read more on this issue at the author's site. NirLauncher is an excellent set of free tools, and a must-have for everyone's portable troubleshooting toolkit. NirLauncher Features: NirLauncher can be used from USB flash drive without need of any installation. NirLauncher and all the utilities in the package are completely freeware, without any Spyware/Adware/Malware. This package doesn't contain any 3-party software, toolbars, Web browser plugins, or other unwanted surprises. It will not install any software on your system and it will not change your Web browser homepage or other settings on your system. NirLauncher package includes variety of tools that you may need for your daily computer use, including utilities to recover lost passwords, to monitor your network, to view and extract cookies, cache, and other information stored by your Web browser, to search files in your system, and more... For every utility in the package, you can easily run it, view the help file, or jump to the Web page of the utility. When using it from USB flash drive, the configuration of every utility is saved into .cfg file on the flash drive. On x64 systems, NirLauncher automatically run the x64 version of the utility, when there is a separated x64 version. NirLauncher also allows to add more software packages in additional to the main NirSoft package. NirLauncher allows you generate plugin files for BartPE (Launcher -> Generate BartPE Plugin Files), so you can easily use the utilities of NirSoft from a bootable live windows CD. Additional packages (Piriform, SysInternals...) and instructions are available on the Nirlauncher download page. Note: This zip file below is password-protected.

    • What people who support this position of LibreOffice do not understand is that EuroOffice is not made to appease the open source enthusiasts (I am also one) and evangelists. EuroOffice was made because some European companies wanted independence from Microsoft Office Suite, which is something installable on your computer. This move to independence was pushed by public institutions and governments in Europe, as well. Using a proprietary FORMAT as default, does not make you dependent on MS. The actual program does. A format can be changed with a simple update in the future in a dystopian world where MS would manipulate the format to lock others out. However, using MS Office proprietary format, guarantees that all the current documents used by companies, organizations, institutions, etc, will be compatible with EuroOffice and the suite will have the best chances at adoption, especially by slow moving organizations like governments and the public sector. It is as simple as that. For the same reason, even the UI is incredibly similar to MS Office. For the same reason (adoption) the choice was made to be open source. Not because EU particularly loves open source ideologically, but because it gives the best starting point to create trust in the project and amass developers and contributions to the project quickly, to catch up with proprietary projects like MS Office. I don't understand how people don't realize it.
    • How old is this tip? Seems 15-20 years old? Processor states for the CPU under Windows power options has been a thing for a long, long time. It certainly isn't new or hidden... Also, with laptops it doesn't make any difference what OS you are running, all of them are configured for battery longevity over performance, for obvious reasons. Wanted to add as well that most systems in use currently do burst as setup in the uefi bios settings, and usually when a setting is "hidden" like this in Windows it's because it's either obsolete or it is redundant--doesn't override the bios and the CPU drivers. There is a lot of crap in the registry that needs to come out...;) It's hamless and might consume 1-2kb of space in total, though.
    • I can't believe Starmer is still there...his party lost so big. He's a stubborn coot, but this is largely unenforceable, so I would imagine he'll be resigning soon. A key here is for parents to buy their kids phones sans Internet access--and set up the Internet at home, where mom and day can, you know, act like parents instead expecting the government to raise their kids.
