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 ^^'

    • Sony's region restrictions on PC begin lifting, bringing back PlayStation ports for everyone by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe 2023 was when Sony began its region-locking initiative on the PC platform. The move affected over 100 countries, restricting the purchase of popular PlayStation ports and live service experiences for anyone in the regions outside of Sony's choosing. However, it seems the company is finally opening up access to these countries, starting today. While Sony has made no official announcements, which was also how the original restrictions came to be, users in these regions have begun seeing most of the publisher's catalog reappearing on their Steam store platforms. The change can be seen on affected games' SteamDB histories as well. For example, on Helldivers 2, a popular but blocked multiplayer game from before, it can be seen that the 'PurchaseRestrictedCountries' flag has been removed from a large number of countries just a few hours ago, on June 13. The controversy began in 2023 when Sony began requiring PlayStation Network accounts for their PC ports, even for games that did not have any online elements. Following an uproar, especially regarding Helldivers 2, the company reversed course and made it an optional account on PC. Unfortunately, Sony did not lift the regional restrictions it placed on the countries that do not officially support PlayStation Network accounts, which amounts to well over 100 regions. As for what may have changed the company's mind about this, Stellar Blade may have played a big role. The Sony-published action game by Shift Up just released on PC to an absolutely massive audience, with it already touting almost 200,000 concurrent players on the Steam platform. While its demo was originally region restricted, the developer had worked with Sony to remove these locks and launch the game globally. Just a few days later, almost the entire PlayStation catalog has gone through the same process. Interestingly, while massive PlayStation titles like Helldivers 2, God of War Ragnarok, Spider-Man 2, and The Last of Us Part II Remastered are back to being available across most regions, it seems Ghost of Tsushima is still under the original restrictions. It's unclear why the title has not joined the rest in shedding its locks.
    • Easy to switch off Ai on macOS, just a couple of clicks, something that is not possible on Windows, it is just hidden. Even Android it is possible at the moment to switch off AI, by not installing the app and keeping Google Assistant as it is. Not really possible to use anything else but IOS or Android for smartphones, since that is all that is available, unless I go for a non-smart phone. My problem, certainly with Windows, is that Ms thinks we all want to use AI and don't make it easy to disable. I only use my Windows machine for games these days and will be staying with Windows 10. I use my Mac for everything else, at least Apple gives the choice as i said above to turn AI off.
    • I think X3D is distinct from "X" alone, weren't most early X3D chips clock locked?
    • "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." Wait, are we sure about that, because that contradicts its very model name. The "X" in Ryzen names MEANS it is unlocked. The "3D" part refers to processors with 3D V-Cache onboard. Examples: Ryzen 5 5600 (locked) Ryzen 5 5600X (unlocked, higher clockspeeds generally) Ryzen 5 5600X3D (unlocked, 3D V-Cache equipped)
