Greetings. I had the December 2005 full release, but uninstalled most of it. Now, I"m trying to get the July 2006, full. Perhaps I need an interim release?

I know this is addressed elsewhere here, but not in enough clear detail for my aging brain.

Thanks very much. :)

Best option is download April Full, and May + June + July Updates.

Install them in date order. then run autopatcher and it will give you full updates.

You can download from my mirror if you wish. http://ap.manroweb.co.uk

Let us know if you have any problems

How i can remove this genuine it is annoying, pls help.

Buy a legitimate copy of Windows or, if your copy IS genuine and it's still proving a problem, call Microsoft on the phone and speak to somebody about getting a replacement copy.

Otherwise, we can't help you, sorry.

You can install Apr06 Update -> May06 Update -> Jun06 Update -> Jul06 Update -> Aug06 Update -> Sep06 Update :sleep: ... or Aug06 Full -> Sep06 Update :yes: !

Before to install a Full release, you must uninstall previous release.

it will be nice to add on autopatcher setup, an option to save the options to file cause it needs some time to custom your own. (i mean something like on mess.be'sdows messenger live patch)...

sorry for my bad english and you all did some great work on it :)

hi guys, anyone can provide me with the info on how to remove "adaptec aspi driver for windows xp" and "directx 9.0c control panel" from my window xp sp2 (32bit)? i dont see any uninstall function.

for the dx9.0c cpl:

- delete C:\WINDOWS\system32\directx.cpl

- delete the "DirectX Control Panel" entry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AutoPatcher in the registry

uninstalling the adaptec aspi driver is a bit tricky, since part of the installation is running a program file called reg_xp.exe that makes some modifications to your registry, but i dont know what modifications are done. the rest of the installation can be reversed by doing the following:

- delete C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ASPI32.SYS

- delete C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\WNASPI32.DLL

- delete C:\Program Files\Adaptec ASPI

- delete C:\Documents and Setting\username\Start Menu\Programs\Adaptec ASPI

- delete the "Adaptec ASPI" entry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AutoPatcher in the registry

I just installed the latest version of Autopatcher for XP, and now my screen display looks a bit different than it did before. It's hard to describe, but it's like the text is very very slightly blurry. It's still perfectly readable, but just not quite as sharp as before.

Does anyone know what in the world caused this?

thankies

Edited do add: Ok nevermind I fixed it. Looks like the update changed one of the Appearance settings.

After update

I receved the following STOP error message on a blue-screen:

A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

PROCESS1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED

If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any Windows updates you might need.

If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode.

Technical information:

*** STOP: 0x0000006B (0x0000003A, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

Can u tell me some ad ?

Need your help...

I've already installed Aug 2006 WinXP SP2 update on my PC.

But when I tried to run Autopatcher, below error occurs...

Error while loading a DLL ! ---> (MSVBVM60. DLL)

Can you help me on how to fix this?

It is because of this problem why I can't run the autopatcher :cry:

Hello to all,

i have recently formatted my computer and the first thing i did after i installed Windows XP and SP 2 was to install AutoPatcher (September 2006) and update my system with all the critical and recommended updates.

The problem that i have now is that i cannot use the Windows update anymore because whenever it runs it takes up 100% of my CPU without doing anything. I have therefore disabled automatic updates but i would like to be able to use Automatic updates OR Windows Update web site again.

My hard disk does not do anything; it is just my CPU going up to 100%. I have left it running for 10 minutes but no result. I had to terminate the Automatic Update service to stop it.

If i have to guess what is wrong i think that Automatic Updates is looking for a log file that tells it what is already installed on the system and probably is not able to find it because AutoPatcher maybe did not update or created this file.

Any ideas how to fix it? Any help would be very much appreciated.

    • Taras Buria, do you think you could write more about Windows Vista? It is always such a pleasure — quite a pleasure — to see it mentioned in the title of a news article. What about an editorial?
    • Alienware 34 240Hz QD-OLED Monitor: A premium ultrawide for serious gamers - save $100! by Paul Hill Are you a serious gamer looking to save money on a monitor upgrade? If so, check out this deal on the Alienware 34 240Hz QD-OLED Gaming Monitor (AW3425DW), which is discounted by 13% from $799.99 to just $699.99. This ultrawide monitor features a 3,440 x 1,440 pixel display and the screen is curved for added immersion. Two features that will stand out to competitive gamers are the 240Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms GtG response time which will minimize any lagging from input to display, making you a more lethal player. Why QD-OLED matters for gamers and creators This Alienware uses QD-OLED (Quantum Dot Organic Light Emitting Diode) technology which combines OLED’s self-emitting LEDs with the color-enhancing capabilities of quantum dots. This results in higher brightness, a wider color gamut, deeper blacks, and wide viewing angles. With the 1800R curve built into this display, whatever you’re immersed in will wrap around, making your games more absorbing, potentially reducing other distractions. There is also VESA DisplayHDR TrueBlack 400 certification and 1,000 nits peak HDR brightness on this display. Gamers using this monitor will be able to get the best quality picture from this monitor to improve the experience and their competitiveness. It’s also good for creators who want to edit images and videos as they will see the content they're editing in the best ways possible, so they can be totally sure it’s ready for publication. Design, connectivity, and user experience The Alienware 34 uses an updated Interstellar Indigo design which is more compact and uses a flat stand. This frees up desk space compared to older Alienware designs and still allows for height, tilt, and swivel adjustments and VESA mount compatibility. Regarding ports, this monitor features 2x HDMI 2.1, 1x DisplayPort 1.4, 1x USB 5Gbps Type-B upstream, 1x USB 5Gbps Type-A downstream, 1x USB-C 5Gbps downstream with 15W charging. The USB-C port is for data and charging, not video input and the lack of KVM switch could be a drawback for some. If you decide to pick up this monitor, according to PCWorld, it does not include in-built speakers so you will need to connect your own. This is not a big issue because gamers looking for a premium playing experience will not want to rely on subpar in-built speakers anyway. Is the AW3425DW the right fit for you? Given its curved display, quality QD-LED display technology, and its fast response time, this monitor is a great pick for serious gamers looking for top-tier performance and immersion. Content creators who value color accuracy will also do well in picking up this Alienware monitor.
