HELP! PLEASE!

I cannot for the life of me get Autopatcher to work. I have downloaded the XP October 2006 patcher program but am getting the 'Run time error 429 - activeX component can't create object!' message when I try to run the program. I've followed all the advice and instructions in the FAQ help but it is not working!

This is what I've tried and recommends on the AutoPatcher site:

Install both the setup files in AutoPatchers \win9xnt folder

If that doesnt work, go to start > run, type REGSVR32 SCRRUN.DLL and press enter

If that doesnt work, copy files from C:\Program Files\AutoPatcher\bin to C:\Windows\System32

None of these things work.

I can't find a 'win9xnt' folder

Running this REGSVR32 SCRRUN.DLL says 'succeeded' but doesn't fix my problem.

I don't know what files to copy to put into C:\Windows\System32. It says copy from C:\Program Files\AutoPatcher\bin but I can't find a 'bin' directory.

All I have is an AutoPatcher folder in Program Files which contains a folder called 'modules' an autorun file, a setup application icon and an uninstall application icon.

I'm going out of my mind - can anyone help.

If you can please speak slowly and clearly because I am not a computer wizz like you guys.

Cheers

You need to download a full version of AutoPatcher as well as the update versions.

The win9xnt and bin folders are only included with the full versions.

what's wrong?

i am using windows xp sp2 (chinese)

There is no Chinese version of AutoPatcher at the moment.

but it says "Although it was made with Windows XP SP2 English in mind, it will load on any (English) Windows version, showing only the items which match the running environment."

which one is right?

It was made with Windows XP SP2 English in mind, but will load on any English Windows (2000/XP/2003)... Each module can describe its own dependencies. If a patch is only applicable to Windows XP, it wont show up in 2000 or 2003. Some modules are common though. We're just saying that you'd be better off downloading a release specific for your version/language, since otherwise, most of the patches are version/language specific, thus very few, if any, will show up... which ultimately means you're wasting your 200-250mb of your bandwidth for just a couple of patches....

HELP! PLEASE!

I cannot for the life of me get Autopatcher to work. I have downloaded the XP October 2006 patcher program

did you remember to install the august full release, then the september update, before installing the october update?

you need to install

1) AutoPatcher_XP_Aug06_ENU_Full

then 2) AutoPatcher_XP_Sep06_ENU_Update

then 3) AutoPatcher_XP_Oct06_ENU_Update

if you read through the message board you'll see this same question again and again.

You can, but it will be of very little (if any) use... :(

P. S. Net Framework 3.0 is 50.33 MB in size. Maybe a Full would be better than Update. BTW, these are the times when you'll jump with joy for having a DSL. :)

But the loading module process stuck at the windows update v6 (as shown on the attached file above)

What can i do?

I've tried the August Full AutoPatcher release and October Full AutoPatcher release.

Both stuck at the same place...

Guys thanks for the great work you guys do here!! It's really appreciated. :blush:

That being said, there have been a host of final apps being released. IE7, .Net 3.0, WMP11.

I wonder if there will be a December Full release will all of these updates included. At least we'll have the choice of whether we want IE7 or WMP11 installed. :whistle:

Anyone, would be a nice idea for a Full December release to include all of those, and whatever new patches are released.

Keep up the good work guys... :laugh:

First of all, thanks for AutoPatcher. I'm on Dialup, but I still reserve the time and bandwidth to download the AutoPatcher updates as they come out. I consider it one of the top things to keep updated on a system. AP, Firefox, KLMCP (codec pack), things like that.

Can someone check the Oct 06 English update on INeedHosting.net? My computer spent all last night downloading it, and it comes up with a CRC error, says the file is corrupt. I'm surprised nobody else has brought this up yet - is everyone else using another mirror? Can I get a quick confirmation that INeedHosting's mirror, or another Torrent mirror, has a working copy or the English Oct 06 WinXP update?

Regarding IE7 - I'm not about to tell you guys how to run AutoPatcher, but I think it should be included. I'm a loyal Firefox user myself, but I've always felt that a system is only as strong as its weakest link, a sentiment Vista echoes with its rating system. So though I don't use IE7, it seems to me that it should be an important update.

Someone said, a few pages back, that AutoPatcher contains no malware, and if it did they would not support it. That's only partially true. While optional, WGAN has been classified as a form of malware. Nothing against AP for including it - I always leave it off - but if WGAN = Malware then "AP includes malware"=true. ;)

And WMP11 is no longer beta. If AP can have the latest builds of the MSN messaging client and WMP10, surely it can have WMP11, right? I don't even use IM tools, so I consider WMP11 closer to "essential" than MSN by leaps and bounds.

Lastly, Microsoft keep updating DirectX. They don't change the version number, just the date. The latest is "DirectX 9.0c (Oct 06)" and I think the one before that was... I don't know, but the last one I have archived is Dec 05. Is AutoPatcher keeping DirectX up to date as well?

I run the torrent tracker and the files I created the torrent from matches the MD5 hash in the first post...and since bit torrent checks to make sure that the correct file was downloaded, I can only assume it's a problem with your system :s

Was WMP10 majorly a security update? :devil:

Tabbed browsing = the only new thing in WIE? :angry:

That, assuming that I use WMP (which I don't). :p

And no, but it's the most talked and notorious one (which means that it could've been added a looong time ago). You know what I intented... since I even mentioned the ol' Netscape. As I've said, only tested IE7 briefly in it's Beta 2 stages and never got quite the hang of it (as in, hadn't liked it as well).

WGAN is no more a part of AP, since it's been withdrawn from WU/MU...

DX usually comes out every two months. Blaze said it's too big for AP (~30 MB).

That, assuming that I use WMP (which I don't). :p

I mentioned WMP10 because it's not all about security - there are many of us using WIE7 which is a looot better than MIE6. Sometimes I ask myself why on earth I hadn't been using Opera or Firefox instead of MIE6... (Opening eyes is another good thing in WIE7, BTW.)

And no, but it's the most talked and notorious one (which means that it could've been added a looong time ago). You know what I intented... since I even mentioned the ol' Netscape.

Yes, but even the FF users say WIE7 should be included. Don't be against it for not being "majorly a security update".

Please see FAQ number 6.

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 work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.

      Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 by Razvan Serea Microsoft Edge is a super fast and secure web browser from Microsoft. It works on almost any device, including PCs, iPhones and Androids. It keeps you safe online, protects your privacy, and lets you browse the web quickly. You can even use it on all your devices and keep your browsing history and favorites synced up. Built on the same technology as Chrome, Microsoft Edge has additional built-in features like Startup boost and Sleeping tabs, which boost your browsing experience with world class performance and speed that are optimized to work best with Windows. Microsoft Edge security and privacy features such as Microsoft Defender SmartScreen, Password Monitor, InPrivate search, and Kids Mode help keep you and your loved ones protected and secure online. Microsoft Edge has features to keep both you and your family protected. Enable content filters and access activity reports with your Microsoft Family Safety account and experience a kid-friendly web with Kids Mode. The new Microsoft Edge is now compatible with your favorite extensions, so it’s easy to personalize your browsing experience. Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 changelog: Migration to improved V2 architecture for Workspaces. Workspaces, introduced in Edge in 2022, allows users to create durable sets of tabs that can be saved and shared with others. In order to improve reliability and performance of this feature, the following changes are being made: Migrating data for saved Workspaces from OneDrive/SharePoint to Edge Sync service Removing the collaboration/share functionality of this feature For organizations who have disabled Sync through policy, the existing v1 Workspace data will still be migrated to the new architecture. New v2 Workspaces created after migration won't sync across devices and will remain local to each device. This update occurs on a progressive rollout beginning in Edge Stable v145 and will continue rolling out in Edge v149. For more information, see Getting started with Microsoft Edge Workspaces. Feature Updates Passkey Sync for Enterprise Users. Microsoft Edge is introducing support for passkey synchronization for enterprise users, enabling secure, passwordless authentication across devices. Passkeys created in Edge can now be synced seamlessly, improving sign-in experience while maintaining strong security standards. Note: This is a controlled feature rollout. If you don't see this change, check back as we continue the rollout. Enterprise WebView2 runtime downgrade via DowngradeVersion policy. Administrators can temporarily roll back specific applications to a previous WebView2 Evergreen Runtime version (N-1 or N-2) using the new DowngradeVersion policy in msedgewebview2.admx. The Downgrade Version policy allows enterprises to mitigate critical regressions by specifying per-application exe-to-version mappings. The Edge Updater installs the target version side-by-side, and the WebView2 Loader redirects targeted apps accordingly. Downgrades auto-expire with each new WebView2 release: apps pinned to N-1 remain on the same version (now becoming N-2) and will auto-update in the next release, while apps pinned to N-2 will revert to the current Evergreen version. The policy applies only to enterprise-managed devices (domain-joined or MDM-enrolled). For more information, see Microsoft Edge WebView2 Policy Documentation | Microsoft Learn. Collections retirement. Collections has been removed in this update. Users can no longer access or use the feature. To keep saved content, users can export it, or move all pages to Favorites before updating to Microsoft Edge Stable 149. For more information, see Organize your ideas with Collections in Microsoft Edge - Microsoft Support. Modern, unified, and updated Look and Feel. Microsoft Edge has updated the Look and Feel to give customers a unified experience across all of Microsoft AI surfaces including Copilot and Bing. This changes multiple elements of the UX such as spacing, corners, fonts, default colors, etc. Clarify choices surrounding third-party cookie settings. Language under Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Cookies are clarified to better describe the choices users have in managing third-party cookies. Custom primary password retirement. Users are no longer able to create a new custom primary password in Edge Settings edge://settings/autofill/passwords/settings. Any users who are still using a custom primary password will be automatically migrated to device authentication. Additionally, the PrimaryPasswordSetting policy will no longer support the WithCustomPrimaryPassword option. For more information, see Keep your saved passwords private in Microsoft Edge | Microsoft Support. Unifying Copilot Chat policy controls. The Microsoft365CopilotChatIconEnabled policy is the standard for configuring Copilot Chat. Previously, this behavior was controlled by blocking the Copilot extension, either explicitly or by using the * wildcard via the ExtensionSettings or ExtensionInstallBlockList policies. Extension and sidebar policies no longer affect the appearance or functionality of Copilot Chat. Copilot address bar suggestions were also tied to extension policy settings. Starting in Microsoft Edge version 149, admins can use the CopilotAddressBarSuggestionsEnabled policy to manage this behavior. Intune MAM Protected Downloads. The protected downloads feature for Intune MAM is now available for BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) devices, which aren't managed by a tenant.

    • Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.2

      By Copernic · Posted

      Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.2 by Razvan Serea Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC) is a free and open-source video and audio player for Windows. MPC-HC is based on the original Guliverkli project (which is no longer maintained) and contains many additional features and bug fixes. As the continuation of the original Media Player Classic, MPC-HC isn’t flashy but it works with nearly any media format. MPC-HC uses DXVA technology to pass decoding operations to your modern video card, enhancing your viewing experience. And MPC-HC supports both physical and software DVDs with menus, chapter navigation, and subtitles. Overview of features A lot of people seem to be unaware of some of the awesome features that have been added to MPC-HC in the past years. Here is a list of useful options and features that everyone should know about: Dark interface Menu > View > Dark Theme When using dark theme it is also possible to change the height of the seekbar and size of the toolbar buttons. Options > Advanced Video preview on the seekbar Options > Tweaks > Show preview on seek bar Adjust playback speed Menu > Play > Playback rate The buttons in the player that control playback rate take a 2x step by default. This can be customized to smaller values (like 10%): Options > Playback > Speed step Adjusting playback speed works best with the internal audio renderer. This also has automatic pitch correction. Options > Playback > Output > Audio Renderer MPC-HC can remember playback position, so you can resume from that point later Options > Player > History You can quickly seek through a video with Ctrl + Mouse Scrollwheel. You can jump to next/previous file in a folder by pressing PageUp/PageDown. You can perform automatic actions at end of file. For example to go to next file or close player. Options > Playback > After Playback (permanent setting) Menu > Play > After Playback (for current file only) A-B repeat - You can loop a segment of a video. Press [ and ] to set start and stop markers. You can rotate/flip/mirror/stretch/zoom the video Menu > View > Pan&Scan This is also easily done with hotkeys (see below). There are lots of keyboard hotkeys and mouse actions to control the player. They can be customized as well. Options > Player > Keys Tip: there is a search box above the table. You can stream videos directly from Youtube and many other video websites You can stream videos directly from Youtube and many other video websites Put yt-dlp.exe or youtube-dl.exe in the MPC-HC installation folder. Then you can open website URLs in the player: Menu > File > Open File/URL You can even download those videos: Menu > File > Save a copy Tip: to be able to download in best quality with yt-dlp/youtube-dl, it is recommended to also put ffmpeg.exe in the MPC-HC folder. Several YDL configuration options are found here: Options > Advanced This includes an option to specify the location of the .exe in case you don't want to put it in MPC-HC folder. Play HDR video This requires using madVR or MPC Video Renderer. After installation these renderers can be selected here: Options > Playback > Output Ability to search for and download subtitles, either automatically or manually (press D): Options > Subtitles > Misc Besides all these (new) features, there have also been many bugfixes and internal improvements in the player in the past years that give better performance and stability. It also has updated internal codecs. Support was added for CUE sheets, WebVTT subtitles, etc. Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.2 changelog: Updated LAV Filters to version 0.81-23-g6fadb Updated MPC Video Renderer to version 0.10.2.2540 Updated MediaInfo DLL to version 26.05 Updated MPC Audio Renderer Several crash fixes, bug fixes and small improvements.
