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.

(WGA is un-uninstallable)

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 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.

    • AMD quietly releases a new budget-friendly AM4 processor with 3D cache

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      AMD quietly releases a new budget-friendly AM4 processor with 3D cache by Taras Buria In November 2023, news emerged about AMD preparing more Ryzen processors with 3D cache for the AM4 platform, which is now nine years old. It took a while for the company to confirm those rumors, but it's finally here. The Ryzen 5 5500X3D is now official, a new entry-level chip with stacked cache to offer good gaming performance to those on tight budgets. The Ryzen 5 5500X3D (first spotted on EEC last year) is basically a clocked-down Ryzen 5 5600X3D. This six-core, twelve-thread AM4 processor operates at a base speed of 3GHz, and it can boost itself up to 4GHz. For comparison, the Ryzen 5 5600X3D has a 3.3GHz base clock and a 4.4GHz boost clock. L3 cache, however, remains unchanged: 96MB, which is a big deal for games (the more cache, the better performance). The same goes for the platform: it is built using TSMC's 7nm process and Zen 3 architecture. Unlike the current AM5 Ryzen chips with 3D cache, the Ryzen 5 5500X3D is not unlocked, which means its modest clocks cannot be overclocked beyond stock values. For comparison, here is AMD's current portfolio of AM4 processors with 3D cache: AM4 3D V-Cache CPUs Platform Core Count Base Clock Boost Clock L3 Cache AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D AM4 8 cores, 16 threads 3.4GHz 4.5GHz 96MB AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D AM4 8 cores, 16 threads 3.0GHz 4.1GHz 96MB AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D AM4 6 cores, 12 threads 3.3GHz 4.4GHz 96MB AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D AM4 6 cores, 12 threads 3.0GHz 4.0GHz 96MB Interestingly, the new Ryzen 5 5500X3D is listed as only available in Latin America (LATAM), which means you are unlikely to see it on sale in the United States or Europe. Therefore, you will have to look at other AM4 processors if you want to get more power without switching platforms. Source: @Zed__Wang on X

      "Linux, I gotta tell you, is the worst. I have never even heard of it, but everyone is talking about how it is bad at everything, even the failing fake news. Trump Office is a big, beautiful application, that will do, frankly, all the things very strongly."

      If they don't subtitle it "the search for more money" I'll be a little miffed.  I mean, that was a play on "the search for Spock" which no one freaking knows anymore, but still, they literally named the sequel in the first movie, so ...   (regardless, with everyone still alive on board, I'm super happy)
