[hyapadi]

Is it ok to use AutoPatcher along with windows update and any normal update?

How to upgrade a full version of may for example to the next month patch? Which package should I choose?

Is there any faq or guide for autopatcher?

Thanks

Yes!

Unless there is a release with the word "update" in the title, you should download teh full or lite version

Is there any faq or guide for autopatcher?

I think there's one in the making... raptor or blaze will be able to tell you more

I got this from the torrent provided here.

Hmm - my version, which checks out with the MD5, doesn't have the same ED2k link (I assume this is the English version).

Here is my MD5-orrect version for ED2k:

^ You're comparing the April and May releases... They have different hashes...

Why dont you use SP2?? its a major critical security update!

The only situation where you should not use it is in a corporation that uses custom made software that isnt yet compatable, in which case you should get that software compatible as soon as possible and upgrade.

Well on machines which I installed SP2 I get numerous problems. From unable to open ftp to hangups and slowdowns.

What do I get with SP2? Firewall and AV I already have, and I install major updates

Lots of security updates.

SP2 is more than a new IE, and a firewall.

which is good.

People should stay up to date on all security updates, then there will be less bot spamming us and sending worms and viruses etc.

Yeay, you're right, I just don't understand people, first thay complain about inperfection of Windows and when update comes along, they refuse to install it :no: , instead they should be happy that someone out there is actually working to improve that buggy Windows :yes:

P.S. Offcourse, it would be much nicer if Windows Updates would be implemented in form of AutoPatcher, and not that awfull form : install clean Windows, and THAN you can update, if you don't want any hussle.

Alright, my new server is up (though it still needs another 1GB of RAM).  MUCH faster CPU and whatnot so it's working like a champ, and will really work great when I get that extra RAM.  Download away!  :)

The downloads from http://autopatcher.littlbuger.info are not stable ......

I've downloaded the different versions of Autopatcher myself. The FULL, LITE and UPDATE. The results vary from a normal and functional download to a MS-DOS icoon that only launch a batch file. With no effect or result.

If you have broadband internet access. Keep trying too download AutoPatcher untill you see AutoPatcher's icoon.

For those who don't have broadband internet acces, ask friends to do that for you.

At this moment we can't offer you a better solution or service!

I have more bandwidth now...

Microsoft no longer offers the Microsoft Java Virtual Machine. Note that Microsoft offers no support or warranties for the download offered.

And they mean the Java Software from Sun Microsystems Web Site

Did anyone else notices that after installing the autopatcher may 2005 the name of the icon my computer on the desktop changed?

My server is fully upgraded and working fine now, as well as the fact that I've installed and am now using a MUCH better download manager/script so everything should be working great. I've personally download all 3 files and got good downloads (after checking MD5 and trying to run them), so I'm not sure what's going on if others are having problems. Thanks. :)

I think that the problem was (is?); That you renamed the original files.

AutoPatcher_XP_May2005_Full.exe is on your mirror littlburger_AutoPatcher_XP_May2005_Full.exe

With that the original AutoPatcher icoon is missing. Instead of the AutoPatcher icoon the MS-DOS icoon is default.

Locate the AutoPatcher.log (should be \windows folder). In that logfile you can find what is installed by AutoPatcher.

Then you will see that you used a registertweak:

Set the "My Computer" Desktop icon to "%USERNAME% on %COMPUTERNAME% and /or Disable 'Shortcut To'on Shortcuts

Default it won't change!

I haven't renamed any file whatsoever. Plus, renaming files doesn't change the MD5 or file integrity. Please make sure that you download the full file from my site and then tell me what you get. Like I said, I've downloaded them from my site today, doing nothing special, and they were fine. I tested in both Firefox and IE. I still don't understand the problem.

Also, please, please people, one of my biggest pet peeves is when people read my name wrong. It is NOT LittlBURGer, it's LittlBUGer, as like you mentioned above "littlburger_AutoPatcher...". Thanks. LOL :laugh: :cool:

[DaFlapDrol]

Yep, I see that you changed the site. The result is that the layout isn't correctly displayed on Internet Explorer 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519.

The 'rescueME' Titlebar is over AutoPatcher's table........(Windows Patching made easy and fast!) is the only text to see. The rest looks very good and better than it was! Good work!!!!.

Just did a download and it seems to be okay. How many connections can the server handle??

Edited June 5, 2005 by DaFlapDrol

[LittlBUGer]

Yes, I've noticed that happening in IE too, but after you refresh, it goes away. Strange... I'll look into that, though I can't think off the top of my head what it would be.

I'm glad you like the new area. It's very handy and has a ton of nice features... now I just need to get around to using them... ;)

[LittlBUGer]

Sorry everyone. I am now forced to remove the AutoPatcher Full download from my site due to the extreme load. I'm already paying a ton of money for my dedicated server as it is (I mean I upgraded just to try and support the AutoPatcher community!) and it's still not enough. My server has been going up and down constantly for many days now, so I must take this download off to help stop that. I must be able to not only server others by more importantly my clients that I give hosting to. The problems may also be because of leechers who are cheating my server of the download, but I'm already doing everything I know to stop that. Again, I'm sorry, but I will now only provide the Lite and Update versions until I can afford a server that can handle the amount of load (and if you want an example, I just put up my new downloads script a few days ago and there is already like 6000 downloads done along with around 250GB of bandwidth taken in around 4 days). Thanks and I hope to be able to provide more in the future. :)

hahahaha....are you still in the moooooood for........mess about?????

[marl]

i read from another forum that if you installed pirated copy of xp and sp2 and microsoft finds your key to be "bad" when you update it, "it will write to your boot sector causing your pc to be unable to boot up windows or dos."

it didn't happened to me yet so i cannot confirm if it is true...

can autopatcher xp be used to update a pirated copy of xp safely?
