Okay, I redownloaded Oct full version and have tried to run Autopatcher and every other program in the sub-folders and they all bring up the window:

"This program has encountered a problem and needs to close."

The screenshot I sent before is the details of the crash.

I am running XP Pro 2002 SP2.

Does anyone have a clue what is going on here?? It looks like every app that was compiled by the author is crashing.? The Windows Script and VB installer ran just fine.

Finally got it to work on the real Windows box, everything seems to run fine now. But I am still having an issue with getting it to launch in the Virtual PC Windows environment. Any clues?

BTW, thanks everyone for the help thus far.

Just updated my Windows XP SP2 copy with AutoPatcher XP October version and i must say my OS is already running faster, quite an impressive application.

Does it detect if any XP SP2 updates are installed already and not check them to be installed ?? or it over-writes them if already installed on a system ??

If it's released every month...do we need to re-install it entirely every month or there is some small update that updates it to the very latest version ??

All in all a totally awesome application put together :)

Yes, it does detect if an XP SP2 update is installed. If it is installed the item is colored blue. If the detection fails, then it will over-write that item if it's installed.

If it's released every month..

It's released every month

do we need to re-install it entirely every month?

That depends, if we have an update release then you only need the update release. In some cases we can't make an update, then you have to use the FULL or the LITE Release.

Like what!? Can u explain better!? Sry but im noob on this kind of things :s!

Gimmie a walkthrow on how i have to do it!

Download the FIX file located on Page 1. Run it and it will create the win9xnt folder in AutoPatcher. Then re-run AutoPatcher again.

/EZ

@Helloo double click 'my computer' on your desktop. navigate to the C:\Program Files\autopatcher\win9xnt folder.

double click both of the files in the folder to install them.

once there both installed, re-run autopatcher. hopefully it should now work!

The bandwidth has been exhausted on this site.

I will have another mirror up shortly.

Another newbie question.  Is it possible to run Autopatcher from a cd or over the network, or do you have to install it first on every computer?

Once you have installed AutoPatcher on your HDD, you can burn it on a CD and use it....many....many....many.....times. Using it on a networkshare? I don't know. I don't have the experience with that at the moment.

I believe that using it from a network share works

Im on dialup and use a download manager to get the file over a couple

days. I spent roughly 8 hours getting about 80 megs of XP-Oct05-Full

using this link:

http://agentoddstar.com/AutoPatcher_XP_Oct05_ENU_Full.exe

went to resume the download and this is the new link:

http://agentoddstar.com/AP_XP_Oct2005_Full.exe

and the old was unavailable and no matter what I did I couldnt get to original

file to resume with the new link regardless of how I renamed it.

Update: This mirror is a joke. Is it funny for this guy to change links on a regular

basis-it happened again. I got 156 of 176 megs and once again this is the message

I get:

"Not Found

The requested URL /AP_XP_Oct2005_Full.exe was not found on this server."

This is now 230 megs downloaded and still no APXPOct2005Full. I dont know

why but my download manager wont let me rename an existing download and

"resume" from another link so Im screwed once again.

He even decided to change the link to his main page from just a couple days

ago. http://agentoddstar.com/

This is the message when you click the link above:

"Thanks for DDOSing us!

The Downloads are now located in the odddown folder... Which would be http://agentoddstar.com/odddown

This prevents the bots from steling our bandwidth for a little while until we find

a more feasible solution!"

Even the new link when clicked says the files arent even on the server:

Link to main page: http://agentoddstar.com/odddown

Link to file: http://agentoddstar.com/AP_XP_Oct2005_Full.exe

Message about file:

"Not Found

The requested URL /AP_XP_Oct2005_Full.exe was not found on this server."

If this is a "bandwidth" thing I understand and can wait to resume later but

no mention of this.

^ frozencpu is actually doing us a great favour providing us with those links, and is pretty much acting as our main mirror now. the reason he's changing the file names is because people are direct linking from other sites, so he's trying to provent it happening.

im sorry your having a hard time downloading from him.

one thing you might want to try is selecting the new download, and seeing if your download manager will allow you to save it under a different name - the same name as the previous download. there might be a slim chance it will be able to resume.

the ideal solution though would be to use the bit-torrent download.

all you need is to install a small bit-torrent download manager.

the great thing about bit torrent is that the more people that are downloading a file, the less bandwidth is needed and the faster the download speeds wil be, because at the same time your downloading, bit torrent utilises your connections upload bandwidth to share the bits of the file youve already got, so everyone downloading is also sharing.

the renaming of files should never be an issue, and theres full hash checking of the files to check for corruption!

TheBlazingAngel,

Thanks for understanding the plight of dialup. Im not sure how exactly I accomplished

it but I was able to use an alternate link to resume an existing download but I dont

remember exactly of the 3 files my DL manager creates I needed to change but I

eventually figured it out.

The file completed and the checksum checked, I added the module fix, and patched

once again flawlessly with this great tool thanks to the AP Team and the great

mirrors offering their bandwidth......

Sorry for the ""RANT"" in the previous posts but with a dialup connection of

31.2 and an average DL speed of 3.2 Kpbs it gets really annoying at times

waiting for hours or even days to simply use my pc and surf the internet safely...

Mike!!

    • BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta by Razvan Serea When your computer is getting full, BleachBit quickly frees disk space. When your information is only your business, BleachBit guards your privacy. With BleachBit you can free cache, delete cookies, clear Internet history, shred temporary files, delete logs, and discard junk you didn't know was there. Designed for Linux and Windows systems, it wipes clean thousands of applications including Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari, and more. Beyond simply deleting files, BleachBit includes advanced features such as shredding files to prevent recovery, wiping free disk space to hide traces of files deleted by other applications, and vacuuming Firefox to make it faster. Better than free, BleachBit is open source. BleachBit has many useful features: Delete your private files so completely that "even God can't read them" according to South Carolina Representative Trey Gowdy. Simple operation: read the descriptions, check the boxes you want, click preview, and click delete. Multi-platform: Linux and Windows Free of charge and no money trail Free to share, learn, and modify (open source) No adware, spyware, malware, browser toolbars, or "value-added software" Translated to 64 languages besides American English Shred files to hide their contents and prevent data recovery Shred any file (such as a spreadsheet on your desktop) Overwrite free disk space to hide previously deleted files Portable app for Windows: run without installation Command line interface for scripting and automation CleanerML allows anyone to write a new cleaner using XML Automatically import and update winapp2.ini cleaner files (a separate download) giving Windows users access to 2500+ additional cleaners Frequent software updates with new features Going beyond standard deletion of files, BleachBit has several advanced cleaners: Clear the memory and swap on Linux Delete broken shortcuts on Linux Delete the Firefox URL history without deleting the whole file—with optional shredding Delete Linux localizations: delete languages you don't use. More powerful than localepurge and available on more Linux distributions. Clean APT for Debian, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Linux Mint Find widely-scattered junk such as Thumbs.db and .DS_Store files. Execute yum clean for CentOS, Fedora, and Red Hat to remove cached package data Delete Windows registry keys—often where MRU (most recently used) lists are stored Delete the OpenOffice.org recent documents list without deleting the whole Common.xcu file Overwrite free disk space to hide previously files Vacuum Firefox, Google Chrome, Liferea, Thunderbird, and Yum databases: shrink files without removing data to save space and improve speed Surgically remove private information from .ini and JSON configuration files and SQLite3 databases without deleting the whole file Overwrite data in SQLite3 before deleting it to prevent recovery (optional) BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta release notes: BleachBit 6.0.1 beta is now available for testing. This maintenance-focused release includes bug fixes, updated translations, and a range of safe enhancements. This release fixes a Windows security issue that could allow arbitrary file deletion during privileged cleaning (reported by Zeze with TeamT5). It also adds new cleaners (including a DNS cache cleaner, Claude Code, and Visual Studio Code forks), support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles, new deep scan options for developer directories like node_modules and venv, and safer, faster file shredding. All Platforms Added cleaners for Claude Code, DNS cache, and many Visual Studio Code forks. Added support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles. Chrome can now clean downloaded AI models. Deep Scan can optionally remove venv, __pycache__, node_modules, and .angular directories. Deep Scan is faster by skipping directories on the keep list. File shredding is safer, faster, and leaves fewer recoverable traces. Improved handling of cookies, symlinks, Unicode filenames, external processes, and configuration files. Improved Expert Mode warnings and long warning dialogs. Fixed crashes related to cleaner detection, invalid Unicode, and malformed cleaner data. Clipboard is now cleared automatically after shredding files via paste operations. Linux Added AppImage support. Added cleaners for Visual Studio Code, Codeium, Librewolf (.deb), Transmission (Flatpak), and Profanity. Improved Linux trash detection, including Snap-installed applications and mounted drives. Fixed Wayland root CLI issues and several Snap-related problems. Improved package dependencies, AppStream metadata, and desktop file handling. Fixed startup crashes when Python Requests is unavailable. Windows Fixed a security vulnerability that could allow arbitrary file deletion when cleaning with elevated privileges. Added %WindowsSystem% variable support. Improved clipboard clearing using native Windows APIs. Improved installer experience on unsupported Windows versions. Reduced installer size and improved application robustness. Fixed Unicode handling, filename anonymization, Git revision reporting, and splash screen stability.

    • DriversCloud 12.1.6 by Razvan Serea With DriversCloud (formerly My-Config.com), you can explore your computer easily, safely and free. The application quickly scans your PC and identifies the hardware and software components. DriversCloud then establishes a list of the different drivers compatible with your OS and hardware. Download the drivers needed for the proper functioning of your computer. To detect your drivers, DriversCloud also displays a detailed summary of your hardware and software configuration, analyzes your BSOD, monitors in real-time your PC voltages and temperatures and lets you share your configuration online. Once the hardware components have been detected, you will be able to obtain with just a few clicks the latest drivers corresponding to the identified hardware. You can record your configuration on the site for free, and can get the corresponding URL to post the configuration to technical forums, e-mail and social networks. You can also download the detection result (the configuration) as a PDF file. To protect the user's privacy and data confidentiality, a 4-level confidentiality system was created that filters the XML marks and gives control to the user. The default level can be modified in the preferences. Using the maximum level will prevent the user from publishing his configuration and generating a corresponding PDF file. In non-connected mode, each XML configuration is stored on the server for one day (for practical reasons). However, you are given the opportunity to manually delete it. Created in 2004, and continually improved, My-Config.com has established itself on the web as a free service to PC users running Windows and Linux operating systems. The service is designed to work with the most common Internet browsers (Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari).
