Auto Patcher

I came across this little program last night after searching for ways to get my USB Bluetooth Dongle working in XP properly.

Head - bashing - desk - not - working!

Anyway, I digress.

For those people who have a "non-pukka" version of XP that fails the usual Windows Update verification thingies… heres a program that contains all of the latest updates and fixes all together. It also contains extras like the new XP Royale Theme that I blogged about earlier and the latest Google Toolbar. There is also a "lite" version that only contains the main fixes though.

The full download weighs in at over 100mb - so definitely not for those luddite modem people.

Get it over at the Autopatcher site.

There is also a hacked DLL doing the rounds that you have to patch your PC with in safe mode that will allow the verification tests to pass - but I have not tested it.

Update: Tested the DLL crack - works a treat! Happy Xmas!
