6) When i double click the AutoPatcher shortcut nothing happens

Go to: C:\Program Files\AutoPatcher\tools, run 'AutoPatcher Module Editor.exe' and close it - next run autopatcher.

If that doesn't help, copy comdlg32.ocx from the AutoPatcher \bin folder to c:\windows\system32 (overwrite existing file if there is one).

I've tried this.. I've tried creating another login with.. both are normal characters.. still nothing..

I really wanna get this to work on my Windows XP sp2 machine as I do not connect that one to the net or the network..

After messin around for a while I finally got it.. First I tried it in windows safe mode... It worked but could not access the windows installer service.. So that told me that some software that was running in normal mode was preventing autopatcher from running.. So I went into normal mode and ended all of the process the wern't required for windows to run.. still no go..

Finnaly, I restarted and clicked on AutoPatcher the first second i could see the desktop.. IT WORKED!!! I had beat whatever was gonna load and cause it not to work..

It's a quit silly method but works. Hope this helps someone.

All of the current releases (Except x64 and Vista) are using AutoPatcher 5.1.

There is no "full update" file, what you have is simply an update.

You will need the November Full, December Update and January Update files and install them in order :)

Hey, there...

I've just recently installed AP XP. I installed the Nov 06 FULL version and everything ran great. I then installed the DEC 06, JAN 07 and FEB 07 updates and now I'm getting "Abnormal Program Termination" errors on various different applications. by various I mean varied, from Half-life 2: SOURCE to Daemon tools to Encarta 2003.

I didn't run any programs in between running the Dec 06 and feb 07 updates, just rebooted at the end of each update.

I have tried disabling windows defender and the windows firewall. I've also run the tweak undo tool but to no avail. Please help.

Thanks.

Installing from from clean format, do I need Jan 07 & Dec 06 updates with Nov 06 Full & Feb 07 updates to have completely updated XP installation?

Of course! You must install in correct order: Nov06 Full/Lite + Dec06 Update + Jan07 Update + Feb07 Update.

I'have a Autopatcher_april2004 release,Extracted it to some other drive other than host os, i just did a clean format & tried it before running Nov'06,Dec'06 & etc

I got a an error,"Language Translation" something like this, I read all language translation documents

But i think they r for newer releases of autopatcher? I tried changing LCID code but earlier in that release documentation it was written to change it from like english"ENU" to german "DEU".so that trick didnt work.I tried changing system language & regional settings,still the same prob.

Can u tell me how to start it frm begining,or shall i continue now from Nov'06,Dec'06 releases?

Hi

I have downloaded and installed AutoPatcher_XP_Nov06_ENU_Full.exe. Everytime I run it, after selecting the items to install, when I click the "Update" button I get a Run-time error '5'.

Things I've already tried (and have not worked):

- Searching this site for answer :-)

- Searching the WEB

- Rebooting

- Uninstall, reboot, re-install

- Clean up temporary files/directories

- Run RegClean

- Turn off firewall and virus scanner

- Changed directory to G:\Autoatcher (to ensure no spaces in the path)

Thanks

Barry

I tried both of the option below with no success :-(

Any other idears?

Thanks

Barry

@Barry G Kruyssen, try copying files in C:\Program Files\AutoPatcher\bin to C:\Windows\System32, and or running files in C:\program Files\AutoPatcher\win9xnt

Edited by marcelo verdura

marcelo verdura, por favor, verifique o md5 do arquivo. se estiver corrompido, este tipo de inconveniente pode ocorrer. o md5 correto ? este: b3c677007984f66d40753a89934e416b

eu gosto desta ferramenta para testar md5:

http://www.nero.com/enu/Nero_MD5_Verifier.html

? gratuito e bem f?cil de usar.

se o md5 n?o bater, s? baixando novamente. existe outro mirror http para este arquivo, mas n?o sei se ainda est? vivo. existe ainda mirror no demonoid, mininova e outros trackers. tamb?m h? um mirror no emule.

em alguns dias, uma nova vers?o full deve ser lan?ada. ela ? baseada no AP 5.6 e a vers?o pt-br j? est? rodando ok com essa engine, logo, voc? tamb?m pode esperar alguns dias

ps: existem apenas algumas pessoas que falam portugu?s aqui, ent?o...

sap:

marcelo verdura, please check md5 of that file. if it is corrupted in any way, this sort of thing can happend. the md5 for this file should be this: b3c677007984f66d40753a89934e416b

i like of this tool to chek md5:

http://www.nero.com/enu/Nero_MD5_Verifier.html

it's free and pretty easy to run.

if the file that you have doesn't match you will need download it again. there's another http mirror fot that, but i don't know if it's alive yet. there's another ones at demonid/mininova and other trackers. there's one e2k mirror too.

but in a few days, a new full version will arrive. it's based on AP 5.6 and pt-br is already running fine, so, you may wait a few more days.

ps: there's just a few guys that speak portuguese in here, so...

edit: damm keyboard...

Ol?,

Depois de rodar o AutoPatcher WXP Jan#2007 BR o compartilhamento de arquivos de meu computador deixou de ser acessado por outros computadores do grupo de trabalho. Apenas a impressora ? acess?vel. Algu?m saberia dizer qual ? a atualiza??o que prejudicou o compartilhamento?

Tentei o procedimento de desfazer o Tweak IPC Security, como diz no in?cio deste forum, mas n?o resolveu.

Obrigado.

Hello. I've downloaded the Full January Pack PL, installed it and the whole thing worked great.

BUT - after I downloaded and installed the February Update and chose to run autopatcher after the installation, nothing happened. Ok, so I thought - let's just run it manually. When I run the .exe file, an error window popped up, saying: "C:\Program Files\AutoPatcher\AutoPatcher.exe is not a proper Win 32 application".

Any ideas, what can I do? I downloaded/installed it 3 times, always get the same thing. Oh, I've also downloaded the "Run-time-error_fix.exe" but it didn't solve my problem. Any help would be appreciated ^^'

    • Save $500 on this 16-inch LG Copilot+ PC with Intel processor by Taras Buria These days, Windows laptops are separated into two categories: Copilot+ PCs and pretty much everything else. Copilot+ PCs offer more AI-powered features in Windows 11, some of which are quite useful, like semantic search, Recall, Windows Studio Effects, image editing capabilities, and more. If you are thinking about joining the ranks of Copilot+ PC users, check out this LG gram Pro laptop, which is currently available with a big $500 discount. This big laptop has a 16-inch IPS display with a 2,560 x 1,600 pixels resolution and variable refresh rate support from 31 to 144Hz, which is driven by Intel Arc Graphics. On the processor side, you get the second-generation Intel Core Ultra 7 chip, which qualifies for the Copilot+ PC program thanks to its 47 TOPS neural processing unit (NPU). There is also 16GB of LPDDR5X memory and a 1TB PCIe Gen4 SSD. Despite its size and performance, the LG gram Pro is very light and thin: only 2.73 lbs and 0.51". Additionally, the laptop offers a FullHD infrared camera with Windows Hello support, a backlit keyboard, Wi-Fi 7 support, and plenty of ports. The latter includes one HDMI, one headphone jack, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, and two USB 4 Gen3x2 Type-C with Thunderbolt 4 support with power delivery and image output. As for the battery, the LG gram Pro 16-inch packs a 77Wh battery, which, according to LG, can last up to 25.5 hours of video playback on a single charge (depending on your workflow, of course).

    • OpenAI slashes o3 price by 80% in direct challenge to Gemini 2.5 Pro by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in April, OpenAI released o3, its flagship reasoning model, which delivered state-of-the-art (SOTA) results on several AI benchmarks, including Codeforces, SWE-bench, and MMMU. The o3 model also included support for external tools, such as web browsing, a Python interpreter, and more. Although o3 was the most powerful model available from OpenAI, it was not widely adopted by developers due to its pricing compared to other alternatives. Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro model offered nearly the same performance at one-quarter of the cost, while Anthropic’s Claude 3.7 models delivered better coding performance at a similar price. Today, OpenAI is responding to developer feedback by reducing the price of the o3 model by nearly 80%. At launch, the o3 model was priced at $10 per million input tokens and $40 per million output tokens. As of today, OpenAI is lowering the price to $2 per million input tokens and $8 per million output tokens. This price drop makes o3 a much more attractive option for developers. You can refer to the benchmark comparison table below, which Google published last week during the launch of the Gemini 2.5 Pro June update, to see how OpenAI’s o3 compares with other leading models. In addition to the price reduction, OpenAI is also launching o3 Pro, its new flagship reasoning model, later today. The o3 Pro model is expected to outperform the Gemini 2.5 Pro June update on several key AI benchmarks and may be priced at $10 per million input tokens and $40 per million output tokens.
    • From my understanding.... Thunderbolt isn't like USB ... where you can simply plug a couple of TB ports into the header.  The header itself isn't "Thunderbolt" ... the header connects to the add-on Thunderbolt I/O card for management. I'm sure Nik can better articulate...   ...helpful as always...
