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

P4 2.6C Retail, Malaysia, Week 26

Zalman 7000 ALCU

Corsair Twin 2X256 MB PC3200

2-80GB SATA Seagate Barracudas, 7200.7, RAID 0 on ICH5R

1-40GB Quantum Fireball AS, 7200, IDE 1 storage drive

Plextor PX-780A Combo 8X DVD Burner/40X CD Burner, IDE 2 Master

EPO 52X CD-ROM, IDE 2, Slave

Antec True Power 430

Antec Performance Plus 1080AMG, 5 fans

22? Flat Iiyama Vision Master Pro 510 CRT

Belkin 1000VA-UNV UPS

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,

R.D.Burke

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

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline.
