It is not good forum etiquette to ask more questions without acknowledgeing that people have answered your previous question. I don't mean to single you out ootsoo, there are many here that do the same thing. It's not polite

Old habits die hard. Answer to original question is the same though... does not matter what order you install hotfixes, qchain, either built in or external takes care of making sure correct files are replaced.

You can install them in any order, but the last line in batch should be qchain.exe. This makes sure all hotfixes get installed in right order. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...122120121120120

I use autopatcher a lot. I don't always get to do the install, just the cleanup. autopatcher is much easier than installing manually or using windows update site when unpatched windows is already on machine.

You could also check the nLite forum for a tool to cut unneeded features and services from XP, allowing you to reduce memory usage. http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showforum=89 If not I would go with 98 Better yet, spring for some RAM, it's cheap!

What about IcemanND's script? I like that, very simple and easy to understand and use. In any case I prefer to integrate them into install over post-install patch.

Sure, we can remove or change anything... messages, Icon, app title, about page. Whatever you want. As long as we leave a credit "Based on dPilot by Two Pilots Software" with a link to their page I am cool with changing anything else. You must also make source available to comply with GPL. Send me a list of mods you would like done.

Here is with no version check dPilot_no_version_check.zip

Yes, I see problem. Once it has a list it will not download another unless version is incremented. I added path your your server for version.txt. Increment the version number and it should work. If you ALWAYS want to get the list from the server when refresh button pressed I can remove the version check entirely. dPilot.zip

nice! That's what I meant when I said seems like should be something better. Now clear was splitting on chr(13) "CR" only, and chr(10) "LF" was being left over and appearing at start of new line. Learn something every day.

Something is happening because we are splitting on newline, and some lines only contain newline. havent tracked it down exactly. I tried replacing the newline with a extended ASCII char and did the split on that... seems to work but seems like there should be better way. Public Sub Alphabetize(ByVal Value As TextBox) frmNotepad.txtNotepad.HideSelection = True Dim str1 As String = Value.Text.ToString() Dim str2 As System.Text.StringBuilder = New System.Text.StringBuilder str2.Append(str1) str2.Replace(vbCrLf, Chr(234)) Dim sArray As String() = str2.ToString.Split(Chr(234)) Array.Sort(sArray) str1 = Join(sArray, vbCrLf) frmNotepad.txtNotepad.Text = str1 'Convert Array Back to String and Refill Textbox frmNotepad.txtNotepad.HideSelection = False CaretRefresh(frmNotepad.txtNotepad) ' Scroll txtNotepad to Caret Position SetCharacterPosition() ' Update Line / Character in Status Bar SetNoSelection() ' Remove Selection End Sub

Saw what you are doing with this, very handy. Looks like it would also make sense to change the caption of the page tab from "Two Pilots Downloads" to "Windows Update Downloads" I added this here...

I will try to take a look. If you are doing the join manually, the chars must be getting added during either split or sort. Lets first try just split and rejoin with no sort and see if crlf is added. If still bad must be in split. Either we are not using it split function correctly or else need to read textbox lines another way.

Thats why he put it in "General Discussion" --> "Talk about anything you like in general! (As long as it doesn't fit anywhere else)." I like the show, but never made a habit out of watching. Mia is a hottie!

Here you are Monsieur Gateux. (Ici vous êtes Monsieur Gateux.... Is that right?)

Copious discussion of this here on MSFN. search for "deleted partition" or "lost partition"

Not that it matters, who would even want it? Still not sure how you crack free software.

How do you crack something that is free?

Yes, those look like false positives. There are a number of sites that give info on dlls and exes if you just google them, like the first is a jpg compression lib http://www.liutilities.com/products/wintas...llibrary/ijl15/ this is easy to confirm, just look on sims install disk. and the other is part of popcap games.
