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.

    • Linux 6.16-rc1 is out: What's new and what does it mean for your system? by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds, head and founder of the Linux kernel, has announced the closure of the merge window where major new features are added to the kernel, and the beginning of the Linux 6.16 release candidates, beginning with release candidate 1 (Linux 6.16-rc1). Linux 6.15 was released two weeks ago and in the time since, developers have had the opportunity to try and get their new kernel features into the Linux 6.16 kernel. Over the next two months, we will get seven or eight release candidates where developers will stabilize new and existing features. This means that the stable version of Linux 6.16 will arrive around the end of July. Torvalds said that the merge window seemed pretty normal this time, but did say he had a feeling that there were more “late straggler” pull requests than is typical. Despite this, everything seems to be fine and the schedule will be going forward as planned. Key areas of development Torvalds explained that around half of the changes in the first release candidate were driver updates, with the bulk of those being made up with by GPU and networking drivers. For end users these are the most important changes because when your favorite distribution of Linux ships a new release with this kernel, it will support more graphics cards and networking equipment like Wi-Fi cards. The non-driver updates in this version are split between architecture-specific updates, documentation and tooling (perf tool and selftests), and core changes to filesystems, core kernel, memory management, and networking. Torvalds said the core changes include some of the “most important” changes, though they’re not necessarily major changes. Fixes to the core ensure a more stable Linux kernel for end users, plus better performance. The merge window saw developers submit thousands of non-merge commits and merges. The non-merge commits were around 13,000 while the merge commits nearly reached 1,000. There were 1,783 unique authors submitting code during this window. Next steps Over the coming weeks, Linux developers, including individuals or representatives of companies, will submit bug fixes for new and existing features. This release candidate cycle will run until around the end of July and then the final version will become available. End users shouldn’t go out and download Linux 6.16 when it’s released, instead just wait for your Linux distribution to update to it, as distribution-specific changes get made. Neowin will be following these releases and reporting on any interested changes that are noted. Source: LKML
