Take a look here at this topic added new mirror for downloading.

Thanks to AJ for hosting!!!!!!

Since the release of APXP August, there have been 5183 completed downloads, and over 766 GB of data transferred on the torrents alone!

I dred to think what the impact must've been on conventional mirrors!

When you add in AP2K, that takes the total bandwidth used to almost 1 terabyte

youve been reformatting because of that :laugh:

dont worry about it.

if there was something there before, you probably selected a tweak that removed it.

the space remains because your start menu preferences have an option to specify how many recently used programs can go in the list to the left of it. that list is therefore holding the minimum height of the start menu at a constant value, therefore keeping the space you see.

so to get rid of the space, simply reduce the number of recently used programs, by right clicking an empty space on the task bar, select properties > start menu > customise > set the 'number of progrms to show on start menu' value, and apply.

hmm.. i've initially set it to 0. so it's not the problem of the 'number of programs to show on start menu'. i only installed the critical updates and came the error. btw, i'm using Windows XP SP1 =)

the next updates were suposed to be released on the 13th, and the new autopatcher releases upto a week after depending on how many new updates there are and how long it takes me to do everything.

however, now microsoft have suspended the new updates over a "quality issue", so i dont know when...

@Kaze, im glad youve solved it, however going back to a release a year old is hardly a good thing.

firstly, you should move up to SP2. there is pretty much absolutely no excuse not to do so now.

the current releases are all aimed at SP2, meaning, if run on an SP1 machine, there will be a huge number of updates missing that you really need.

i dont see the problem here using SP2 and all updates in the latest release.

try updating to sp2 and then use the latest release. if it still occurs, its most likely a compatability problem with your windows theme.

i really wouldnt sacrifice the security of your machine just to stop a slight space appearing on your start menu :wacko:

@DeniZz, dont worry. there have been several large changes recently, and unfortunately a small number of problems exist in the august release.

i have found and fixed them all (hopefully) and you should find everything back to normal in the september release.

Great work! Thanks a lot, this great program just helped me make my WinXP install fast and easy!

If I may, just some feature requests:

- along with american flag screensaver, you could include Microsoft's EU flags screensaver

- include flash player

- I don't see a point in selecting delete of 'old' MS screensavers and wallpapers

But even as it is it's a real treat!

Thanks a lot!

1. Do you have a URL for the EU flag screensaver, as I'm really not aware of such thing!

2. Again, any URL for the IE Flash Player?

3. I'd agree, but some people seem to find it useful to get rid of the old screensavers and wallpapers. Doesn't hurt to have the option I guess.

Thanks for the qouck reply!

haha.. cause my laptop doesn't support SP2. if i were to install SP2, my infrared won't be working properly. so i using SP1. i update with AP XP Aug'04 then i update with AP XP Aug'05 so i think it's alright?

btw.. i can just install and overlapping the older version right?

^ hmm, your laptops infrared comms wont work with sp2 ??

yes, you can use a newer version of autopatcher after an older one, however, thats still no good.

first, your missing all the new security benifits introduced with SP2.

second, your still going to be missing many updates, because you wont get all the SP1 updates after that aug04 release that dont apply to SP2 and so are not included in the newer release.

i dont see why your infrared comms wont work with SP2, if its just the driver, im sure a newer one should be available by now.

if its not as simple as downloading a new driver, your going to have to decide which is more important to you - a working infrared comm or security - because security is a really important matter, and your seriously lacking in it.

German version online since: 09/03/05 @

@Tarnatos,

You have to be patient before people find the way for downloading and it will take some time to for people know that AutoPatcher is also available in the German language.

It's the same for the Dutch release.

    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.
