Was gonna comment about the new look of the site, I don't know .. it looks really busy.... I think a more water color smooth look would fit it. :)

Still looks cool just alittle busy

Well I'm known for radically changing the site every few months, so maybe around Thanksgiving it'll change again. :laugh:

How about adding the ms keyboard layout creator to the next build of APXP, I know its mainly only used for mapping foreign languages, but it is also handy for making a copy of the english layout and then customising it for special key combinations etc.

IIS PROBLEM (Internet Information Services)

I installed Windows XP PRO then Autopatcher (April) and since then my IIS cant show me any properties window!

When I right click eg. "Default Web Site" and choose properties NOTHING HAPPENDS :blink:

But on Task Manager I can see that IIS process took more memory (so it looks like the window has opened but didnt show! :x :angry:

I' loged in as a member of Administrators Group - tried also as user: Administrator - still the same...

What could it be and what sholud I do!?

Please Help! :wacko:

autopatcher can automatic detect system local language settings and auto select true GUI lang file. but db file include

AutoPatcher XP UltraLite TRK.db

<apxml dbVersion="1.0.0.0" osVersion="5.1.2600.0" spVersion="1" language="Turkish (Turkey)" friendlyName="April/Mid-May '04 - Gold - UltraLite" date="200404">

line. the language tag same as 1055.lng

1055.lng

<strings version="1.0.0.0" revision="1" name="Turkish (Turkey)">

. when i start the autopatcher, program auto select 1055.lng file for GUI and but net select true database.

maybe this function is useful. autopatcher auto filter true databases or order by language.

i tried quickly glancing through the threads but 40 pages is far too much...is there a switch or way you can run it with to install everything silently? I am making an unattended XP cd and until sp2 final comes out this would be great for getting a majority of new updates installed right away...

Thanks

Doug

EDIT: Found, nevermind :o)

Just went to use tweakomatic for the first time since i last installed my system and noticed that it hits a script error, upon further investigation i noticed that the "start in" field for the shortcut is empty when it should be set to the directory where the program is,

I know we've had this problem ages ago (several builds) and had since been fixed, so has this issue just reared its ugly head once more, or is this problem only affecting me??

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
