Ok, here's a new one.........I downloaded this, and this has to be the first false positive

that I've received from my antivirus software (NOD32).

it says "probably unknown NewHeur_PE virus"..........

tried downloading from the link and from softpedia, both say the same thing.

Probably due to Heuristic behavior (words or phrases that are attibuted to files that contain viruses or files with odd filetypes or multiple dots ie "files.doc.zip"). A lot of AV's use this type of scanning. If you know its virus free and you trust the source, rock on.

For those of you wondering WHY it has a PRE-SP2 Identifier.. here is the logic behind it:

The File itself is a Pre-SP2 Patch, which means it gets installed on OS's Prior to SP2. You wouldn't be going to install The Final SP2 on a os already with the Final SP2 hence Pre-SP2. ;)

So this means its Pre-SP2 that can be installed on a GOLD XP or a XP with SP1 already installed.

I think this about CLEARS this up on why it says Pre-SP2.

Autostreamer is doing the correct thing its not a bug. (Y)

Aaahh. Of Course. That makes sense. Thanks xStainDx.

No what would be really awesome is if this program supported Office XP/2003 because it is pretty much the same method as slipstreaming XP.

Hey gang,

Tried AutoStreramer for the first time last night after downloading SP2 and it worked like a charm. Think it took about 5min. tops to complete the whole process. Burned it to a CD, rebooted, installed my new BIOS update, restarted and then booted from the CD and did a clean install. Gonna pick up where I left off last night when I get home from work and finish installing the drivers and getting it back up to speed...just in time before my copy of DOOM 3 arrives!!!! Whoo-hoo!! :D

Anyway, Raptor & whomever else that put together AutoStreamer...great job guys!! Worked like a charm and is another fine edition to my "must-have progs" toolkit.

Later.

Used AutoStreamer and did a clean install last night. Worked perfectly. For those having problems with it, I found one just needs a little patience using it. It doesn't give a lot of feeback in terms of whether or not it's working, so just wait a bit.

This clean install with SP2 slipstream rocks. I loaded SP2 before the clean install and it's faster with a clean install even though my previous install was only 6 months old, I defragged and cleaned my registry, etc on a regular basis. Any clean install is going to be faster, but this is much faster!

Just my 2 cents.

I have XP Home Edition (Upgrade) and usually when I re-install, I have to insert my copy of Windows 2000 to confirm that I have a full version of Windows.

However, I used AutoStreamer to slip in SP2 and did a clean install this evening and it never asked me to insert a previous Windows disc....everything went smoothly...no problems, and the speed difference is astonishing.

(like saying "Slipstreamed by AutoPatcher" on the CD or on an OS file)

Well for one thing the program is called AutoSTREAMER, and no it doesn't do anything like that.

I'm glad that everyone is enjoying the program. I came up with the idea and asked him if he had time to create it for my project. I helped him with some of the aspects of it but did no programming. Just offered suggestions on how it should work, researched a few things, beta tested it, and helped with the comments in the dialouge boxes, etc. I can't wait until he gets back from vacation to see how many people he has helped with this.

I noticed the speed difference during the clean install as well.? Probably helps that SP2 has updated drivers to help it detect the most common hardware (ATI, Intel, etc.)

NM2K24?:cool:l:

Yeah, it is so much faster I knew it was not my imagination. Running a P4 2.6C (not celeron, 800 MHz bus) in a RAID 0. XP has supported hyperthreading, but whatever they did, it made it more hyper!

A few spec are below for reference.

weird. i downloaded this program and made a slipstream of sp2.....when it finished, it gave me an error of Permission Denied.....error 70 i think.....but the ISO was there. i burned it and its bootable.....im formating my test box with it to see if it actually works.

the program is great, i might add. lets hope they fix the bugs soon.

  The program seems to work flawlessly. The whole process only took about 7 mins. What I need to know is if I have a Slipstreamed SP1 CD do I use it to make a SP2 CD or do I just use my Original XP CD and Slipstream it?

Thanks,

I used a slipstreamed SP1a CD but I'm sure you could use either as SP2 contains all the updates included with SP1a.

    • The post-installation disk footprint hasn't changed much. In version 0.99.1, it was 979 MB. Now, it is 959 MB. That's just 2%. Also, PowerToys fills the disk with logs like crazy. Just look inside "\AppData\Local\Microsoft\PowerToys".
    • Yeah, right! /s They've been saying that for two centuries now. Look up "China's final warning" on Wikipedia.
    • I have not verified if any of the fixes mentioned on the below article actually work. Why Claude Code Eats All Your RAM (And How to Fix It) There are at least four separate things that can eat your RAM, and only one of them is your fault. The Four Culprits 1.

    • One of my PC's is Windows 11 Home Edition... and guess what? it supports Hyper-V Disks and Containers, as well as WSL2... which these desktop tools leverage on an as-needed basis. It does not need to be enabled system-wide; it merely needs to exist. Furthermore, I tried something yesterday with Hermes Desktop and their "installer" actually builds everything from source as part of its installer toolchain! The installer (and updater as it were) both go through a roughly 19-step process to prep the system for the tool to be used -- and connectivity to local/remote models, local/remote agent configs, and other steps are not included as part of this process (those are all user config steps post-install). ALSO, the "bug wasn't confirmed to exist" is the weakest argument against a bug. That's literally every flawed product's knee-jerk reaction! Even politicians, lawmakers, murderers, and other violent criminals start with that defense... "I deny everything I'm accused of." The bug is the (shared) experience. Whether it's truly Claude Code's fault, or user error, or some other software package being the ultimate culprit, is not the point. They are experiencing unpleasant side effects and don't like that.
