right click on your taskbar, select toolbars, and see if Language bar is there... if its not:

go into control panel, select Regional and Language options (in classic view)... now move on to Languages tab... you'll see a button "Details"... go there... a dialog will come up... First, make sure your languages are all in the list (i.e i have English and Greek)... then click on "Language Bar" button towards the bottom of the dialog and check the first item on the dialog which will come up

a quick reg fix that would be really handy and has often been mentioned in the past, is one to turn off that stupid "do not allow unsafe attachments to be opened or saved" in OE6

I think that would be a tremendous fix, as it is the one thing clients ring me up about when I set up their computers for the first time, and i keep on forgetting about the bloody thing :(

Just noticed this handy little program that is rumoured to be making into longhorn final with a little more developement, but at the moment its a fully working release version anyway.

how about including in the next APXP release seeing as there isn't many updates at the moment what with ms concentrating on sp2

Hi everyone: First of all let me thank you for the terrific job you have done with the Autopatcher.

I have ordered and installed the CD of Autopatcher 4.5.8 Gold full, and have had no problems,

I have now downloaded the AP April04Update and when I checked it (it is still in my "Downloads"

it says AP.April04Update.exe.torrent. When I click it it says Windows cannot open this file.

This is really a stupid question and I havent found it in the FAQ section. But what am I supposed

to do with this file, I do not use Torrent (if that has anything to do with it) - do I have to install it

and how?

I am not a computer expert (like you all) so I hesitated asking this question,

thank you for your time to answer.

The .torrent file is a Bittorrent file. You will need a Bittorrent client to download it. Try this client http://bittornado.com/

sorry if this been asked already (i can't look thru the whole forum)

i would like to know what will you do to autopatcher when sp2 goes final

will you remove all the pre-sp2 patches, and just include what ever comes out after the sp2?

or will you have two versions? one for people that still use sp1, and one for sp2

or will there be one version, that will work on sp1 and sp2

Just noticed this handy little program that is rumoured to be making into longhorn final with a little more developement, but at the moment its a fully working release version anyway.

THanks for the heads up about Paint.net. It is a very nicely designed tool! Like it much more than the original paint!

I hope that I am placing this post in the right area! I would like to know if the developers of autopatcher are going to release this months updates for autopatcher xp ? I know that they said that there is no set date, but that they usually shot for the end of the month. it would be appreciated if ANYONE can give me some up to date information how things are coming along.

Hello I Keep trying to download the lite version, I have tried every mirrior and everytime it downloads corupt 'Archive not supported" any ideas why that is ?

Ron, you may need to use a Download Manager if you aren't already to download the file. This almost always fixes corrupted file issues from downloading if you have problems. A popular manager is Getright, or you can use whatever you like. Hope that helps. :)

Help!!!!

Autopatcher XP doesn't work with sp2 on my machine

It returns the following error when I try to load it

"regsvr32.exe - Application Error

The instruction at "0x1432d9ff" referenced memory at "0x00000000".

The memory could not be "written".

Click on OK to terminate the program or

Click on CANCEL to debug the program"

When I press "CANCEL", this msgbox pops up:

"Autopatcher | Initialization Services

The translation for your language was unable to be loaded. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

ERROR_LCID_STARTUP

5 | Invalid procedure call or aurgument

AutoPatcher

2"

Even though I don't need the MS patches provided in Autopatcher now that I have sp2, I really like the add-ons that are included but I can't use them without adding them one at a time and manually putting the files where they go or manually running a setup.exe.

Does anyone know the fix for this or an Autopatcher 4.5 patch for it?

    • Finally we can whole-heartedly recommend the AMD 9070 GRE thanks to this discount by Sayan Sen Earlier this month at Computex 2026 AMD released the Radeon RX 9070 GRE for a global audience. We reviewed the GPU and it scored 8 out of 10 for gaming and 7.5 out of 10 for productivity including things like AI performance. The card launched for $550 which we thought was a bit on the higher side, though currently you are getting the chance to get the Gigabyte Gaming variant of the GPU for just $500 thanks to this discount (purchase link under the specs table down below). As such we can finally whole-heartedly recommend this GPU. The card employs Gigabyte's WINDFORCE cooling system which combines multiple design elements such as alternate-spinning Hawk fans, a vapor chamber, and composite heat pipes to manage heat dissipation. The Server-grade Thermal conductive gel further helps in this department. The inclusion of a semi-passive cooling mode allows the fans to remain inactive under low workloads, which allows for reduced noise operation during lighter usage. There is dual BIOS switch that allows toggling between performance and silent modes. The technical specs of the Gigabyte Gaming RX 9070 GRE OC is given in the table below: Get it at the link below: GIGABYTE Gaming Radeon RX 9070 GRE 12GB GDDR6 GPU (GV-R907GREGAMING OC-12GD): $549.99 + $50 discount with promo code in mail => $499.99 (Sold and Shipped by Newegg US) This Newegg deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified. This is a first-party seller link (at the time of article publishing); ensure that you also purchase from a first-party seller link only.
