AutoPatcher XP October 2006


Recommended Posts

I think there is a bug in October release, you cant save as default (hold shift and hover mouse over modules details).. it always go into module details ...

This feature works in Sept 2006

I think that Sep is 5.1.35, and Oct is 5.1.37. This version appearantly has a bug.

Pardon the total noob questions here but... I always install my updates the same way. I dl them and save them to my desktop, then shut everything down and install from there. I have never had a problem with this. When I tried that with the October 06 XP update, it got about 1/2 way through installing and then Windows just shut down and rebooted. This has never happened before. It has always asked me in the past if I wanted to reboot immediately and then gave me a countdown... So far, I am assuming that it was normal, that it was just designed that way this time, and that the counter telling me when it was going to be finished was just wrong and it finished faster than expected. Even though I am assuming this, however, I would still like some sort of reassurance, if possible. Is this normal or have I done something wrong or is it a problem with the update itself?

Thank you for your patience (If in fact you are patient...) Thank you for helping anyway if you are not... :)

I've had reboots on two machines so far. I had to run Autopatcher again and reselect my preferences again, then it ran through with no problem.

Not sure which module is causing the reboots.

Same here... :huh:

Never had such problems.

After the reboots, AP detected what was successfully installed & what was still missing - a few cycles like this, and I completed the whole October update.

This makes a third report of the reboots - could you guys nail that? If there's a log or something that you may need, tell me - I'm currently on my Win2k machine though.

I had the October Update installed on several XP machines and noticed that reboots occur on specific configurations though I have yet to pinpoint the exact cause.

I do agree that IE7 should be included perhaps with the next release.

Let's not force stuff as that onto others, shall we? For that we already got some other MS products... :p

Now if you say that it would only be as an optional update, then I'd keep my mouth shut 'cause we don't really need to use IE to access the 'Net (read, FireFox is already doing my browsing). ;)

On a side note... I expect Gandolas to drop by with good news for us Portuguese users. :whistle:

If it's on windows update, it should be in autopatcher, and probably in the case of IE it should be selected by default.

Us Fx users can uncheck it, but I think you'll find most security experts will recommend updating even if you use it for nothing besides windows update.

October Dutch released!

I am curious how it decides what items should be installed by default. I think it does a great job but have some registry tweaks I'd like to add which leads me to my real question. Is there a way I could create a text file or something to go along with AutoPatcher that would automatically select certain items? I would like to run this after a fresh format and at that point, I can easily be assured that everything should be the same on the computers. Therefore, a simple way to automatically check certain registry tweak boxes would be great!

Thanks for a great program, too!

Yes, you can create a defaults file. check out this thread for details

Although for us dialup-users, how much more bigger will that make the download. I mean XP updates don't have IE, but Win 2k updates do.

The IE7 installer from the MS website is 14.8MB, I'm not sure how compressed that is, so that size may decrease when it's packaged with APXP.

1st for all connected with this exceptional program.... thanks.

Now for a possible add-on to the next update. There have been isolated reports that the installation of

Crictical security update KB917422 (MS06-051), causing some isolated problems with programs that some people might have to run. Especially, some Electronic Arts games (check their website for updated info) and

some other programs (as listed in Microsoft patch update info to fix it).

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=924867

Apparently, this is not available via Windows Update... but, only to resolve issues related to specific problems you might have running certain programs?????? So, possibly can be added to the Recommended Updates area, if you are so inclined?

    • LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more. LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 changelog: Upstream release, see the Firefox 151.0.3 Release Notes Notable changes: Clears the preference toolkit.winRegisterApplicationRestart, which may otherwise trigger an upstream bug on Windows (librewolf/issues#3056) Download: LibreWolf 64-bit | Portable 64-bit | ~100.0 MB (Open Source) Download: ARM64 | Portable ARM64 Links: LibreWolf Home Page | Addons | Screenshot | Reddit Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Unsurprisingly, there's what the law says and what the old white wealthy males legally enforce...
    • Or anything online that requires an anti-cheat
    • Gf needed a new Surface and was looking at a Surface Laptop because of the Snapdragon. Seeing as it was a two year old chip she just decided to get a Lenovo Yoga 2 in 1 instead. Personally this Surface Ultra Cassis reminds me a bit of Razor. It would be interesting if it could handle proper gaming and be 17 inch.
    • No idea, frankly, I'm not into minimum requirements gaming, but it would be an interesting test to find out. Also, I just have to point out that it wasn't my intention to downplay the performance of DXVK on Linux or Linux gaming in general (despite my own experience being a bit of a mixed bag). I just thought it would be good to point out that DXVK is not Linux exclusive and that you can benefit from using it even in Windows.
