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.

    • I think he means you haven't reviewed previous UFC games. Of course it doesn't matter... Every time you just report on something that involves the President even if just simply what happened you guys usually get accused of being anti-Trump. We live in fun times.
    • So how did you solve the problem? Disabling Secure Boot isn’t a solution.
    • Another devilish issue surrounding these certificates is what can happen with old, unsuspecting PCs that nevertheless have Secure Boot enabled. In my case, it was a Dell with a 3rd-gen Core chip (so about 13 years old). As of the last few weeks, it was suddenly BSOD'g within about 5 minutes of booting. Turns out it was because of MS's "Secure-Boot-Update" scheduled task, which is scheduled to run 5 minutes after login. It's explained in gory detail here (this is not my post, but it was where I found the answer), but the short version is that this legacy system would need fairly elaborate, manual certificate intervention since MS's automatic cert update method cannot work. How to do that is linked late in the thread. https://www.bleepingcomputer.c...od-caused-by-scheduled-task Secure Boot wasn't at all important for this particular PC, so I disabled it to be done with the problem.
    • Winhance 26.06.12 by Razvan Serea Winhance is an open-source Windows enhancement utility designed to help users debloat, optimize, and customize Windows 10 and 11. It provides a user-friendly interface for removing unwanted apps, legacy components, and optional features safely, giving you more control over your system. With Winhance, you can improve performance, reduce clutter, and enhance privacy without the need for a clean install. Beyond basic debloating, Winhance offers extensive optimization tools. Users can tweak power plans, adjust gaming and performance settings, control notifications, and manage Windows Update behavior. Privacy-focused settings allow you to limit telemetry and data collection, while system customization options let you personalize the taskbar, Start menu, Explorer, and Windows themes.

New AI privacy groups have been added for Windows AI, Microsoft Edge AI, and Microsoft Office AI, giving users clearer control over AI-related telemetry and feature usage.

For advanced users and IT professionals, Winhance integrates WIMUtil, a tool for creating custom Windows installation ISOs with automated configuration. You can generate autounattend.xml files, inject drivers, and apply your chosen Winhance settings automatically during installation. Most changes are non-destructive and reversible, with clear explanations in the GUI. Whether you’re optimizing a single PC or managing multiple systems, Winhance delivers a faster, cleaner, and highly personalized Windows experience. The Winhance.Installer.exe includes both Installable and Portable versions during setup. Winhance supports both Windows 10 and Windows 11 64-bit versions.

Winhance 26.06.12 changelog: Features Builder Mode — build a Winhance config file or autounattend.xml without changing anything on the PC you're sitting at. Flip the new mode switcher to Builder, set everything the way you want it, and save the result as a Winhance config or an autounattend file ready for deployment on other machines. Sponsors & Supporters page — the exit donation dialog is gone. In its place, an in-app page (heart icon or the More menu) recognizes the businesses and individual supporters who keep Winhance free. It works offline and is fully localized. Change History — Winhance now keeps a receipt of everything it does. ChangeHistory.txt records every setting change (before and after values) and every app install or removal, with clear headers for config imports and bulk actions. Open it from the More menu. Hebrew language support — Winhance is now available in 29 languages. New Explorer customizations: desktop icon visibility toggles, This PC folder visibility, an icon cache size setting, and automatic thumbnail cache cleanup. New "All apps view" setting for the redesigned Windows 11 Start menu, and the Windows 11 system tray icons setting is now a dropdown with more control. App-local UI zoom — press Ctrl +/-/0 or use Ctrl+MouseWheel to scale the whole app, just like a browser. New External Apps: EA app, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, Rockstar Games Launcher, PowerShell, and Helium Browser. Bug Fixes Layouts no longer clip when the Windows text size slider is set above 100%. Accessibility: Narrator now announces setting names on toggles and dropdowns, previously unlabeled buttons are labeled, and progress updates are announced. Silent updates now respect your custom install location instead of reverting to the default. Cancel in Review Mode no longer clears your app selections. OneNote is now detected correctly for Win32 Click-to-Run installs. Clean Start Menu applies more reliably by also writing the group policy path. WinGet errors are no longer silent — error details now show in the terminal output. Fixed a startup crash on older Windows builds caused by a .NET runtime regression. Config import now converts power setting values correctly and no longer re-applies an already-active power plan. Improvements App icons load noticeably faster and cover almost everything now, including legacy capabilities and optional features — they come from a dedicated, checksum-validated icon repository and are fetched in parallel. Software & Apps polish: per-icon tooltips, extra table columns, an app sort dropdown, relocated search, and a cleaner compact view. A warning now appears when the Connected Devices Platform Service is set to Manual or Disabled, since some Windows features depend on it.
