Well, a solution must be found, because when WIE7 gets out of beta and gets included in AP, the same thing will happen. But don't worry, there is time. After all, there are another themes that are waiting to be included:

4 legs

Brazil Beaches

Historical Monuments

Nature 2

(Since they are in x64 version, I guess that they are MS official.)

It seems there is a new version of KB905472 - even though I installed the AutoPatcher one this morning (after formatting and clean XP reinstallation), along with all other updates etc., when I went on MU a little later, I had to install it again.

Hi,

It is not at all clear that IE7 will need validation to download and install on XP. MS may release it for general download as it may contain "security" updates.

However I doubt that MS would release anything to automate the installation of similar protected downloads.

Photo Story 3 has the same issues in that you need to have an activated and validated Windows XP installation before you can install it.

I am sure that the installers might be modifed to work-around this issue (it can be for Windows Defender).

However it might just be easier to ensure that your system is activated and validated before you use APXP.

KB905472 has been updated to build 1.5.540.0 as of a few days ago.

I am looking for cheap high bandwidth Web space so I can host APXP updates, if anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

Kind Regards

Simon

About WIE7 - did you try it? Every version I have been using has been requesting an online validation. Beta 2 preview 1, beta 2 preview 2, beta 2, beta 3... Even though this makes WIE7 less popular, I doubt that M$ will remove the validation in future.

About WD - WD doesn't have the online validation (it has an offline one). Its validation really can be bypassed? Didn't know. :huh:

Having validated WinXP works only for offline validations. You don't even need no validating, you just need legal WinXP.

Will you update your KB905472 for AP July? :woot:

KB905472 is updated AGAIN!

I guess M$ is constantly updating the stolen S/N database...

It seems that the July Update is going to be pretty big... Flash Player * 2, Shockvawe Player, Active Sync, KB911280 v2, KB914440, WMP hotfix * 7, new KB905472, TweakUI fix... :cool:

OMG! Quo vadis, WMP?

M$ is releasing the hotfixes tommorow. See here. It seems that KB892130 is going to be updated again -

Microsoft will release one NON-SECURITY High-Priority Updates on Microsoft Update (MU) and Windows Server Update Services (WSUS).

KB892130 hasn't been updated, but there are other things:

Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework, Version 2.0 (KB917283)

A security issue has been identified that could allow an attacker to compromise your Windows-based system running the Microsoft .NET Framework and gain access to restricted data. You can help protect your computer by installing this update from Microsoft. After you install this item, you may have to restart your computer.

Security Update for Windows XP (KB914388)

A remote code execution security issue has been identified in the DHCP Client service that could allow an attacker to remotely compromise your Windows-based system and gain control over it. You can help protect your computer by installing this update from Microsoft. After you install this item, you may have to restart your computer.

Security Update for Windows XP (KB917159)

A remote code execution security issue has been identified in the Server service that could allow an attacker to remotely compromise your Windows-based system and gain control over it. You can help protect your computer by installing this update from Microsoft. After you install this item, you may have to restart your computer.

Security Update for Windows XP (KB917537)

A security issue has been identified that could allow an attacker to remotely compromise your Windows-based system using Windows Internet Information Services and gain control over it. You can help protect your computer by installing this update from Microsoft. After you install this item, you may have to restart your computer.

Is Windows Live Messenger going to be included? M$ says it's a new version of M$N Messenger.

And a slight correction. When I searched web for KB905472, I wondered why the only result was this forum. And then I realized that it's not KB905472 but KB905474.

It looks like they just updated atapi.sys to a new version. Is it too late to add this bugger to this months update?

KB920918 - An IDE device runs in PIO mode instead of in DMA mode after you update the firmware for the device in Windows XP

After you update the firmware for an IDE device on a computer that is running Microsoft Windows XP, the device runs in Program Input/Output (PIO) mode instead of in Direct Memory Access (DMA) mode. Therefore, the performance of the device may be significantly reduced.

    • Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 release notes: Added added DisableCustomTitleOpt=[process,][y|n] to allow [#] sandboxie title markers on custom-titlebar windows (Delphi VCL, Qt, Electron) that were previously skipped to prevent DWM repaint CPU loops #5387 Changed updated bundled ImDisk driver to 3.0.2 #5419 Fixed fix Suppress logs for expected non-user SIDs #5422 SbieSvc.exe: SBIE2218/2219 error when run program as administrator #5417 fixed explorer.exe crashes in Application Compartment when Huorong Security is installed #5423 Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.5 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • I still use HexChat! Not really as ancient as the 1994 AutoCAD above my post, but I have never found anything better to replace it. Yes we still operate an IRC server https://www.neowin.net/irc/ 😛 
    • At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.
