Just a couple of quick questions about AutoPatcher,

1. I noticed that AutoPatcher contains a number of extras which aren't obtained through regular Windows Updates (eg. extra programs, tweaks etc.) Is it possible to disable these and only install what Windows Update would normally install?

2. Are there any differences between a system updated using Windows Update and a system updated using this patch (apart from the included extras), and can Windows Updates still be performed normally after using AutoPatcher?

1. yes, when you run autopatcher you get to select exacty what you install.

2.no difference, except the possibility of a few additional 'hotfix' updates which arent available through windows updates.

there will be no change to how windows update works

I need some help urgently

Recently I noticed that there was no AutoPatcher XP for September 2005. So does that mean that XP October 2005 includes udates for September as well. Also, how can i verify this??

One more thing, I started using AutoPatcher since the July 2005 version for my WinXP Pro SP2, and i have never used the Windws Update feature before that. So does that mean I dont have any updates (released before July) installed? Or did AutoPatcher XP July 2005 detect the missing updates and install it for me

Desperately seeking a reply. Plz reply at suyash_jaiswal 'at' hotmail.com

A million thanks to the person willing to help me on this

please dont use all caps! - theblazingangel

by "all", u really mean ALL?i.e. right since the launch of windows xp?

By "all" he means since the launch of Windows XP ServicePack 2. AutoPatcher XP is based on this Windows XP ServicePack 2. So, all the updates for SP1 aren't included!

If you install a fresh Windows XP OS (Home or Professional) and you are going to use Windows Update Service. You'll see that you have to download 30 Essential updates and 6 Optional updates. After that you need to reboot your system and go on using Windows Update Service that shows you that you need to install 1 essential and 2 Optional updates.....download and reboot again......are you finished? Nope, let's check what the Windows Update Service will say......1 Essential update is waiting for you....downloading and you are done. If you have to do this all by a dialup connection.......pffffffff

AutoPatcher will offer you to do this all at once, and if you want...select MSN messenger, Windows Messenger, backgrounds for your desktop, screensavers, tools and much more..... the only thing you have to do is select what you want and confirm your action by clicking the update button!

If microsoft doesn't change any update or hotfix, you are up-to-date while you are drinking coffee or maybe a beer :D

thanks mate, it helped me a lot.

just one last question...i had installed all critical and recommended updates of autopatcher xp august 2005. then now i installed everything given in autopatcherxp october 2005(which was about 45 in number). so that means these 45 updates were released by microsoft during september and october, right?

^ no, there ware something like 9 new updates released in october.

all autopatcher releases are culmutive, meaning they include everything in the last release.

the exception is an 'update' release which is designed to just update the previous months release with current months stuff.

when you run autopatcher for a second time, you should notice that the updates that are already installed are highlighted in blue and are unchecked. theres no need to install these again.

autopatcher includes all updates found through windows update, plus a few more, since the release of SP2. you should have SP2 installed first.

I've been using AutoPatcher for a while now and I love it! I'm a PC/Network Tech in PA (USA) and will reload several PCs every week :blink: ! AutoPatcher helps me greatly! Thanks!

Now for my query...

This Fix I keep reading about... What does it fix? I downloaded the AutoPatchers for Win2K3, WinXP & Win2K. Do I need the fix?

^ microsoft made a mistake with one of the october updates and so an update was missed out from the xp october release.

the 'fix' release will add the module for the missing update and also remove a few older modules that are no longer necessary.

    • Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 headphones are down to lowest price in over a month by Taras Buria Bose's second-gen QuietComfort Ultra headphones are premium over-ear headphones with noise cancellation, but right now, you can save 16%, thanks to a discount that brought the headphones to a new lowest price in over a month. While the general look and aesthetics remain unchanged compared to the previous gen, the Gen 2 features redesigned wear-detection sensors, which accurately pause your music the moment you take them off. Additionally, the headphones now support lossless audio via a direct USB-C wired connection, letting you enjoy uncompressed sound when plugged into your laptop or phone. There is also spatial audio support (works wirelessly) for a more immersive audio experience and improved noise cancellation, which makes the QuietComfort Ultra go-to headphones for many users on long flights or other scenarios when they need to isolate themselves from the surrounding noise. The QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2) also features Bluetooth Multipoint for seamless switching between two devices at once. As for battery life, you get up to 30 hours on a single charge (up to 23 hours when using spatial audio). Besides good audio quality and noise cancellation, the headphones should be comfortable to wear, thanks to the lightweight 250-gram design and soft protein-leather ear pads.

    • Keep in mind Intuit has lobbied like crazy to keep taxes complicated so they can continue to sell tax software. They also got caught hiding their legally mandated free version so they could release a second one that pushed countless people into charges they didn't need to pay to file. Intuit leads the charge on inventing problems so they can sell you the solution and disrespecting you in the process.
    • Oddly, there was a time that UFC games were culturally relevant, largely because of the graphics and gameplay that was different than the norm. But it seems like as the sport grew in popularity, gaming outlets stopped talking about the games.
