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 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.

    • It's become a central place at my workplace. I use it for meetings, general chatting between employees, and the teams for storing of files to share between people at work. 
    • It's a Dell color laser printer. Back when Microsoft kept having these security flaws with the print spooler and recommending you disable it I just got in the habit of it, and I use it so rarely now I just leave it disabled in case another flaw pops up.
    • KDE makes progress toward full Wayland session restore in Plasma 6.5 by David Uzondu In the latest issue of This Week in Plasma, the development team, as usual, brings news of ongoing work for the desktop environment. While KDE continues to polish the recently released Plasma 6.4, work has already taken off on the next major version of Plasma, 6.5. A significant step forward is being made on Wayland session restoration; the xx-session-management-v1 restore protocol has been implemented in Qt 6.10, which means KDE applications and Plasma itself can soon start using it to finally bring proper session restore to Wayland. For more immediate user-facing changes in Plasma 6.5, the Welcome Center application now teaches you about the many available keyboard shortcuts, as well as "what the heck the 'Meta' key is." For those who frequently work remotely, Plasma's built-in RDP server now supports syncing clipboard text between the client and server. The clipboard also received another useful feature, letting you copy the QR code for an item, not just view it. The team is also addressing smaller usability issues across the desktop, including fixes that will land in point releases for Plasma 6.4. Spectacle, for example, will no longer show a ghostly semi-transparent version of its menus in screenshots. The New! badge, which was introduced in Plasma 6.4 is now easier to read with better colors. Other notable UI improvements include: A new button on the "missed notifications" pop-up that lets you view what you actually missed. The Networks widget is now much better at telling you what it is doing, like when it is "looking for wireless networks". Inertial scrolling with touchpads is now active in all QtQuick-based KDE software. As always, the KDE team spent the week squashing bugs across various versions of Plasma and related software. Plasma 6.4.1, which went live this Tuesday, addressed several crashes in the desktop portal implementations and patched the open/save dialog, where apps could insert extra UI elements in the wrong places. It also resolved a recent performance regression affecting some games and fixed a strange issue with drawing tablets where the pointer could disappear when two were connected in different modes. 6.4.1 tackled a particularly odd hardware-specific problem with Samsung Odyssey G5 monitors endlessly turning on and off because of a faulty DDC implementation. KDE responded by blacklisting the device. In addition to that, the update fixed an accessibility regression in Discover, corrected an issue where deleting a favorited app left behind a ghost item you couldn't un-favorite, and restored the Window List widget's ability to minimize windows. As for fixes planned for 6.4.2, here's the full list as outlined by the Plasma team: Fixed a case where System Settings' Flatpak App Permissions page could cause the whole app to crash. Fixed an issue that could sometimes cause Plasma to go back to sleep again right after waking up, when the "Sleep then hibernate" setting is in use. The appearance of text labels in Folder View pop-ups is once again correct. You're no longer erroneously prompted to authenticate for a Wireguard VPN whose credentials are already stored in KWallet, and the wallet is set up to automatically open at login. Fixed an issue in the KDE desktop portal's screenshot implementation that prevented the delay setting from taking effect. Missing app backends listed in Discover's Settings page once again show the correct names. The brightness level shown on System Settings' Display & Monitor page now matches the one shown in Plasma. Fixed an issue that caused the panel to have too much space in it until restarting Plasma if you stop displaying the date on a horizontally-laid-out Digital Clock widget. The older Plasma 6.3.6 fixed video stuttering on variable-refresh-rate screens and patched the Weather Report widget after Environment Canada changed its data format. You can check out the full update on the official KDE Blog.
    • I'm happy with my setup. I have a raid 1 two drive Synology setup that I backup with Time Machine to every so often. What is your setup at home? 
    • Enterprise support (ex. Premier Support) is a bit different cup of coffee. I am not saying it is great, but they have SLAs and I have received solution within hours and even patches within 3 days.
