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.

ABIT IC7-MAX3, BIOS 1.6

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.

    • If it ain't broke, don't fix it. One Commander Free also available in the Store has been my goto Files Manager for years. It does what I need at a more than reasonable speed. I do occasionally use Files Explorer just because it is there and does what I need without any problems when I use it.
    • I think you missed his point. He wasn't saying that cloud storage isn't possible on GNU/Linux, clearly it is. He was pointing out that you are commenting about your dislike of Windows on an article about OneDrive (not Windows) for Mac (also not Windows). Its about as off topic as coming to an article about Sony improving something on the PlayStation and saying that you hate Sony TVs and prefer LG.
    • Nvidia's GeForce NOW summer sale drops prices for Ultimate and Premium memberships by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Nvidia has a fresh update for GeForce NOW subscribers today, bringing in more games to add to its ever-growing supported titles list. At the same time, the company announced the kick-off for its summer sale for the streaming subscription service, dropping the prices for both its premium packages for anyone looking to upgrade or join. The offer is for the 12-month membership options that the company offers. This drops the 12-month Performance membership from $99.99 to $64.99, saving members $35. Next, the 12-month Ultimate membership is currently going for $129.99, dropping prices by $70 from the original $199.99. "The Performance membership delivers smooth, high-quality cloud gaming across devices, with streaming up to 1080p at 60 frames per second (fps) and access to RTX-powered servers for supported games," says Nvidia, describing its tiers. "The Ultimate membership steps things up with RTX 4080‑ or 5080‑class performance in the cloud, supporting up to 4K and beyond on ultrawide displays, up to 120 fps, and advanced features like ray tracing, NVIDIA DLSS and NVIDIA Reflex for a more responsive, visually rich experience." With the sales out of the way, here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: NBA THE RUN (New release on Steam, available on June 9) Witchspire (New release on Steam, available on June 10) SpaceCraft (New release on Steam, available on June 11) Duet Night Abyss (Launcher) DOOM Eternal (Epic Games Store) The Elder Scrolls Online (Xbox, available on Game Pass) Farever (Steam) World of Tanks: HEAT (Wargaming) Nvidia plans to add support for a bunch of more games during the rest of June. Find the full announcement from last week over here. Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month.
    • It's actually shocking how logs filling disks has been a constant issue going back for decades, yet we see very little improvement over the years. Even in the server world, its actually shockingly common for a server to either go totally down, or have a critical alert raised due to logs filling disks.
    • YouTube has finally brought back its DMs feature, but only in these countries by David Uzondu Late last year, YouTube started testing a "new" way to share videos directly with friends, without having to leave the app. Now, the video giant has announced that is now rolling out a revamped direct messaging inbox, which lets you share videos, Shorts, and live streams and have conversations about them, directly on YouTube. The platform limits this feature to 18+ users who are signed in to a verified channel and use the latest mobile app version. Direct messaging on YouTube first became a thing back in 2017 inside the mobile app (later renamed to "Messages"), where users could chat one-on-one and share clips directly, but all that came to an end on September 18, 2019, when Google decided to shut it down after giving users a month to download a .zip file archive of their past chats. No one really knows why YouTube killed the feature, but users were encouraged to migrate to the public Comments section, on Community tab posts, and via YouTube Stories. The previous incarnation suffered from moderation challenges, prompting Google to implement stricter safety guidelines and age verifications for this new iteration. Here's a list of the countries where the re-launched feature is currently available, though note that Brand Accounts do not have access to it, at least for now: Countries American Samoa Austria Belgium Brazil Bulgaria Croatia Cyprus Czech Republic Denmark Estonia Finland France Germany Greece Guam Hungary Iceland Ireland Italy Latvia Liechtenstein Lithuania Luxembourg Malta Netherlands Northern Mariana Islands Norway Poland Portugal Puerto Rico Romania Singapore Slovakia Slovenia Spain Sweden Switzerland U.S. Virgin Islands United Kingdom United States Before you can use the feature, you first have to send an invite link to your contact. Invite links expire exactly seven days after you create them. If the person on the other end accepts the invite, you can exchange videos directly and text back and forth inside the app. To delete a message, just long-press on the message and tap unsend to remove it for both users. You can also delete entire conversations by long-pressing the thread and selecting delete, but the other person will continue to see the chat history on their end. To make sure everything remains safe, YouTube monitors these messages to ensure they follow Community Guidelines.
