^I'm gonna download another copy from the torrent aj-design created and match the MD5. Since I made an image of the computer, I'm gonna ghost it and install the new copy I download of AutoPatcher (hopefully I will get the same MD5 number).

Here is a sshot of my previous post since I could not edit it.

For people with the problem where the autorun text comes out blank!

i solved the problem.. although its not a very convinient solution...

my xp is english version, however, the non-unicode languge chosen for it was chinese. it seems that the autopatch won't work if its anything other than english.

So all you gota do is switch it back to english in the Reigional and Lanuge Options...

I hope the developers would get a fix on that asap!

later~

Thanks for pointing out this workaround. I'll see if I can fix this. I'm guessing it's something in the unicode decoder...

edit: actually, mine is set to Greek and I have no problems at all... we will have to see which languages are affected...

Second copy of Autopatcher MD5 is 9584E9F479963D9B75411169FC356453. Now it matched.

The first copy I downloaded it at school on Friday morning, nw_raptor, why different MD5 in a couple of days?

edit: The first copy was created 1/21/2005 @ 11:03am. Second copy was created 1/23/2005 @ 2:50pm.

OK, I have done a quick solution to the translation problem. Not sure if this will solve the problem, but it should make it better...

Download the following file, extract the archive replacing the old AutoPatcher.exe.

Can I ask a few questions...

When i ran it, i went thru each menu myself and deseleted what i didnt want to be installed, right? right... Then I hit update and it runs and finishes, I reboot and what do I see on my computer? Things I did not ever want.

Google Toolbar for IE? Why was this even installed?

PowerMenu? What does it do in the first place?

And a few extra icons in the control panel that i DID NOT ask for.

So please tell me. Why did it install these extra options that I did not even find the option to disabling in the autopatcher menu?

edit: So I see it was in the "whats included list" but why couldnt I have had the option to NOT install these things? And is there a way to undo all changes done by autopatcher?

These are the matches I created the torrents from:

9584e9f479963d9b75411169fc356453 AutoPatcher_XP_Jan2005_Full.exe <-File

9584E9F479963D9B75411169FC356453 -Actual MD5

bc6c4b8eea9a5c24ac1b148aa9cc3d3f AutoPatcher_XP_Jan2005_Lite.exe <-File

BC6C4B8EEA9A5C24AC1B148AA9CC3D3F -Actual MD5

They match exactly, so I'm not sure why it would be any different...I always seem to get the early copy and not the final copy with EVERY release though...I'm out of the loop when it comes to last minute changes though usually...

I think I got an early copy too, how? I dunno, but I will do another installation on a fresh WinXP OS with the second copy of Autopatcher I got dated 1/23/2005.

My mistake, please discard my post above... I am just blind.. Anyways, I was just wondering if there was a way to uninstall things that were installed by autopatcher through autopatcher?

I don't think so Xtreme $niper. You will have to use Add/Remove Programs to revome what you don't want.

Ignore those File Monitor entries; Executables can point to virtual files (It's the simplest I can put it)...

Is the operating system language Polish or is that just the Regional Settings?

nw_raptor:

Could the Module Editor panel be made scrollable or resizable??

The full panel does not show on my laptop. Kinda makes it hard to enter/revirew modules.

it is really the problem. im using server 2003 rc1, it couldn't extract any more,, just popped up a msgbox as i mentioned before. and when i extracted the files under longhorn and come back to 2003 build 1289, the same problem came up as demonstrated in the legend.

but you can install separated patches despite the wizard.

what was the wrong? and how to resolve that ?!

I believe I had the same problem.

I had made a shortcut on my desktop to the file. I had to add the path of that fie to the "Start In" field property f the shortcut.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.

      I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By Nick H. · Posted

      <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      In the way that you framed it incorrectly. You wrote: "The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install" There's no "constant need to close all browser sessions". That's factually incorrect. The browser downloads its updates in the background and installs them when you open it again. Silently. And there's no "wait for a new version to install", updates are small and take 2-3 extra seconds AT MOST, if any. If you have an SSD, there's zero extra time. Also, every mainstream browser operates this way. Firefox, the FOSS go-to browser, the default on almost every Linux distro, does exactly the same. Also, you don't need to constantly restart Edge for updates to install, you can completely ignore them and it doesn't even ask you to handle them, it's all silent and automatic. So I don't understand what else do you want.
