AutoPatcher XP September 2005

the malicious software removal tool deliberately doesnt show up as blue, due to the fact that after youve run it, your not actually safe, you could acumilate the malicious software again, and so the tool may need runing again.

the sme applies to the sort start menu alphabetically tweak, your start menu may become un-sorted again, and so you may need to run it again. theres no point in it showing its already been applied before is there...

as for the other update, which is it. everything shows up fine here, perhaps the update didnt manage to install for some reason...?

@dragunboy, welcome to neowin ;)

Hi,

1) I had downloaded and installed Autopatcher XP Full recently, but I dont know which version (July or August). I dont have the installation file(accidently got deleted and partition formatted). How do I know which version is installed?

2) I only want to install the updated modules. Any mechanism in-place for downloading only the updated modules? Bandwidth problems you know..

as for the other update, which is it. everything shows up fine here, perhaps the update didnt manage to install for some reason...?

i think so. After installing that hotfix (MS way not your way), autopatcher xp tells me everything is FINE.

Not sure what happens.?

thanks for answering my question and keep up the good work.

If you have used the Microsoft Windows Update Services and all hotfixes, securitypatches and other updates are installed you will see that AutoPatcher shows you all detected (installed) items in Blue.

If you used AutoPatcher to install all the hotfixes, Microsoft Windows Update Services will show you only one update........the WGA tool.......

About the Malicious Removal Tool, after installing it by AutoPatcher you should have a new menu item in your "programs" menu. Microsoft does the installation in a silent mode, so do we, after the installation Microsoft will run once and doesn't add anything to your program menu. We made it possible to run this Malicious Removal Tool by adding it in your program menu. That means that you can scan your computer more then once and you can use a full scan of your HDD.

Beside that, once you installed the Malicious Removal Tool our way you will have a first scan after your installation and reboot. At that time you'll see the version information in the window too.

Quick question; when you run autopatcher from a cd/dvd, does it store any files anywhere on the system itself after it completes doing it's thing, or do all the files get deleted?

- autopatcher does use a temporary .cmd file in your temp folder but removes it after its finished.

- autopatcher may also save a small log file in your c:\windows or c:\windows\system32 folder.

- updates often leave there own backup folders in c:\windows, if you dont intend to ever uninstall updates, you could delete these folders. there named like this - "$NtUninstallKB123456$" - and there hidden, so you have to enable the show hidden files and folders option.

- and then the odd setup file may leave things in your temp directory. after a reboot, just empty your temp folder, or just run ccleaner why is an excelent little cleanup program.

apart from that, nothing.

Thanks for the quick reply. I've been lurking here for over 2 years now, and only now decided to post, as I've been an avid user of Autopatcher, but only in the past few months, have I written my own modules. This was one of those instances.

i found the problem!

the modules .amc file is named "KB897663xp_enu.amc" instead of "KB897663_xp_enu.amc", therefore it cant find the setup file to install it.

luckily autopatcher.exe doesnt add the registry entries itself anymore, so you can tell now that the update didnt install.

i'll let gandolas know so he can fix it for the next release ;)

Hi Guy's . Just found this site, and looking at the comments AutoPatcher is what Ineed. The problem I'm having is downloading It on 56kb connection. At 100 Mg for the lite it's a real drain :( I've been looking for this for about a month after upgrading to XP pro from Win 98 SE , as it's such a hassle doing the MS update thing whenever I want to re-install or set up a friend's/ customer's Comp. I want to get it on CD and feel in charge of things

Any Zip version's of AutoPatcher ? I've been downloading from MegaUpload, coz I just want the lite version, , got to 80% and I lost the whole thing, Timing out is the problem :sleep: :rolleyes: .

That took me about 8 hours.

If any body's got any suggestions for dial up , and .Rar/ Zip, version I'd be much appreciative .

Thanks guy's ...

The file is already quite compressed as it is. Trust me. If you were to .rar or .zip it at all, there would most likely be an increase in speed.

I would recommend that you download the torrent version of AP, as you can resume the DL if it cuts out on you partway through. Get azeurus or some other torrent client.

1) It's not a translation. You can't compare the Dutch release with the English Release.

2) Take look at this topic for the next release.

3) About the link, give me the download url you are using. Have you tried to download it from the link on the first topic?

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • EU says AWS and Microsoft Azure should be treated as DMA gatekeepers by Pradeep Viswanathan Under the European Commission's Digital Markets Act (DMA), a company is presumed to be a gatekeeper if it meets certain quantitative thresholds. However, the Commission can still investigate and designate a company even if it does not meet the numeric thresholds, provided the service has a major market impact. The European Commission launched its investigations into AWS and Azure on November 18, 2025, to address unfair or anti-competitive practices in the cloud sector. Today, the European Commission has informed Amazon and Microsoft of its preliminary view that their cloud computing services, AWS and Azure, should be designated as gatekeepers under the DMA. The EC highlighted that Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure are the largest and second-largest cloud computing services in the European Union. Both of these platforms act as important gateways between businesses and their customers in the EU. The EC further mentioned that AWS and Azure have reached significant turnover, built large and entrenched user bases, and benefit from high switching costs and customer lock-in. Furthermore, their operational capacity and investments appear to have outpaced those of competitors. Teresa Ribera, Executive Vice-President for Clean, Just and Competitive Transition, said the following: It is important to note that the findings are preliminary and do not decide the final outcome. Amazon and Microsoft can now review the findings and respond to the Commission. However, if the Commission confirms its preliminary findings, it will formally designate Amazon and Microsoft as gatekeepers for AWS and Azure. Once designated, Microsoft and Amazon will have six months to bring their cloud services into full compliance with the DMA’s rules and regulations.

    • Samsung announces Galaxy A27 5G with 120Hz AMOLED display, expanded AI features, and more by Fiza Ali Samsung has announced the Galaxy A27 5G, its latest mid-range smartphone, bringing a handful of upgrades over last year's Galaxy A26 5G. While the changes aren't dramatic, they touch several areas that people tend to notice most in day-to-day use, including the display, performance, and software support. One of the more noticeable updates is the screen. The Galaxy A27 5G comes with a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display that now supports a 120Hz refresh rate, making scrolling and animations appear smoother. Samsung has also switched to an Infinity-O punch-hole camera design, which leaves more room for the display and gives the phone a cleaner look from the front. Under the hood, the Galaxy A27 5G is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 processor. The company says the new chip brings improved responsiveness in multitasking, gaming, and media consumption. The company also highlights GPU performance improvements and faster memory technology, which should contribute to smoother graphics rendering, quicker data handling, and improved power efficiency. Furthermore, Samsung has equipped the Galaxy A27 5G with a 12-megapixel selfie camera that is capable of capturing a wider dynamic range and more accurate colours. Like many smartphones launched recently, the Galaxy A27 5G also places a strong focus on AI features. Circle to Search with Google now supports multi-object recognition, making it easier to search for different products or items at the same time. The tech giant says the feature can also support virtual outfit try-ons directly from compatible search results. Photo editing tools are getting some attention as well, with Object Eraser updated to deliver cleaner edits when removing unwanted objects or people from images. Meanwhile, the Voice Recorder app can now transcribe and translate speech simultaneously in one of the 22 supported languages, which could be useful for meetings, lectures, or interviews. Samsung is also expanding AI assistant options on the device, with support for Google Gemini and Perplexity alongside Bixby. The company says these assistants will work more closely with Galaxy apps, including Gallery, to simplify common tasks. Samsung continues to strengthen its long-term software support policy with the Galaxy A27 5G. The smartphone will receive up to six generations of Android OS and One UI updates, along with six years of security patches from its initial global launch. In terms of security, the device includes Samsung Knox and Knox Vault, which are designed to help protect sensitive information stored on the phone. On the flip side, while the company is positioning the Galaxy A27 5G as a step forward from its predecessor, not every change is necessarily an upgrade. One of the first things buyers may notice is the higher price tag. The device launches at $349, making it $50 more expensive than the Galaxy A26 5G's $299 starting price. The selfie camera has also been reduced from 13MP to 12MP, while the ultrawide camera drops from 8MP to 5MP. Samsung has further downgraded the phone's dust and water resistance rating from IP67 to IP64. The Galaxy A27 5G is also marginally thicker at 7.8mm. The Galaxy A27 5G will be available in select markets starting July 3 and will come in four colour options, including Black, Blue, Light Green, and Light Pink. The company will also offer Samsung Care+ coverage plans for customers seeking additional device protection.
    • Doogee and Ulefone regularly release phones with 10k-25k mAh batteries, but those are bricks. I don't understand how they could make it only weigh 220 grams with a battery that size.
