I have installed todays updates, but it would not offer them thru MU until I manually installed the latest IE8 (kb4103768), then it would offer the rest. Remember, it is necessary to FIRST manually install the latest !E8 cumulative update EVERY MONTH to most reliably have MU/WU work effectively. Yo...

Thank you!

I use "Big Pack Runtime Libraries by Wilenty 2018-03-24", does a great job with all the extra C++ and other stuff included there. Do you have a link, not only for the app, but also a "home" page? I think he used to be at MDL, but from a quick look it seems that he had a disagreement with the staff ...

... just make sure it does NOT included KB4056615, KB4074852. ... I'll look into those, specifically. What do they break? @5eraph , if you do searches over at MSFN for KB4056615 and KB4074852, you will quickly find many posts explaining where several different things are broken by those two updates...

These should be avoided: KB3213641 KB3213644 KB4011605 KB4011715 Tomcat also listed KB4011607 to avoid, but it did not show on my recent (today) install/update, guessing his list needs to be updated. Actually, that's not quite right. You might want to carefully read Tomcat's post again. While you a...

Sounds like a setting in your VM is the problem.

Have you tried my suggestion above? You should only have to manually install 2-4 updates then MU/WU should work as expected for any other updates available. MU/WU response should just be a matter of minutes, instead of hours or days, with no CPU core usage of 100%. Why not give it a try? I know it's...

bphlpt

@GH0st , it's not you. The problem lies entirely with MS and their update system, and has existed now for quite some time. It seems the problem has to do with pending and superseded updates potentially causing MU/WU to take up several days for updates to finally get identified and installed. So the...

And a 404 for me now as well.

Yes, the site seems to be offline at the moment. In the past, the site has had various issues that have kept it offline from time to time. Things have been better lately, and I don't know what the current problem is. I'm sure that if it is anything major, that someone will explain it here, if the si...

Likewise. The parent site https://msfn.org pulls up, with nothing newer than last August, but the board https://msfn.org/board/ seems to be unavailable.

Personally, I leave IE at 6.x on my XP x64 machine since I have no use for it. Some old apps break if anything higher than 6.x is installed. If possible, it might be useful to some if you could post a list of apps that work correctly if IE6.x is installed and break if IE8.x+ is installed. Or, someo...

bphlpt

AFAIK, the problem is indeed on MS's end, and they do not appear to be planning to fix the issue. From all that I have read, to get around the problem, EVERY MONTH you need to first MANUALLY install the current Cumulative Security Update for IE8 and the current updates for Office Compatibility Pack ...

Actually, everything in the "Switchless Installer Discussion" subforum is intended to also be able to install on a live installation. And the Unofficial SP4 by harkaz can also be installed on a live installation. Since the "Switchless Installer Discussion" subforum has more posts that that of the "U...

Go ahead and post it, Dibya. Kel has already said that anyone else that wants to update his past work is welcome to do so. If it's an updated version of Kel's, then start off posting it here, it can be moved later if necessary. If it's substantially different, then start a new thread. Personally, I'...

From what you describe, that you utilize files from a SP that the user has obtained for themselves and a script that you provide, I don't see any problem for you posting such a procedure here at RyanVM. Actually, as long as you don't post a link to a complete ISO for a working MS OS, either original...

tomasz86 has uploaded most of Win2K's updates and many of XP's, and I think that KB954193 is one of them. Go to the archive section of his site , click on 'updates', which will load mega, look on the left-hand side for the update you are looking for and click on it, then choose the language version...

Sorry, but I don't think this will be updated anymore. Kel has retired and shut down his site.

@PJAmerica, Why do you feel that way? I'm not trying to start any kind of argument or flame war, I am truly curious. What advantage does it give you to not use the POSReady updates?

Can OP or Admin update the heading of said topic ? better yet, just change it to Adobe Flash Player Direct Downloads ... that way it doesn't have to be edited every time there's an update ? This is probably a good idea, assuming the link will continue to point to the current version. Cheers and Reg...

its been 95 post and still goes on, why you are taking action I'm not sure what you mean. Are you asking why we continue to post in this thread, or are you asking why the problem hasn't been resolved? We do the former since the latter has't been accomplished, though I'm sure the staff is doing what...

Another three.

@xkp, Dibya's comments were meant for you. He believes, as I do, that those were false positives you received. The script he mentioned was this one, if you would feel more comfortable using an addon/installer that you make yourself so that you can be sure what is in it.

Cheers and Regards

bphlpt

I'm sure that DirectX from user_hidden is perfectly safe. That must be a false positive.

I think we're all getting to the stage, with responsibilities IRL, such that we're not able to take on the the total responsibility of running a board on our own, so we can definitely appreciate your position regarding being a more active admin. Just like we understand that of xper and also Nik who ...

Regardless of the font used, my biggest gripe with IPB is that they removed the ability to edit a post in BBCode mode. WYSIWYG mode is fine, IF it works perfectly, and it never works perfectly all the time on any board that uses the newer IPB that I've ever seen. Admittedly, most people will never h...

Soooo, whatcha doing with that 780? Is there XPx86 drivers for it?

If I read 5eraph's post correctly, he's not doing anything with it. It wasn't his and he had to return it to his friend who needed it back.

Another one, this time 30 minutes after "joined" date.

Two more.

I checked and it seems that they made their posts about 15 minutes after their "joined" date, so I don't know what is happening.

I also remember the "Mikey likes it" commercial. Two kids (a boy and a girl) don't want to try the new cereal, so they give it to Mikey because "he hates everything", but surprise - "Mikey likes it!" But I also don't remember what cereal it was. (Us old folks are showing our age. :) ) I got to do an...

You got that right, Trip. LOL :) IPB has really turned to crap in the last couple of years. I don't know why MSFN, WinCert and others continue to use it. Anyway, I'm very glad that MSFN will continue to be around for at least a little while. The suggestion of the new owner of WinCert to turn MSFN in...

bphlpt

With MSFN closing on 2017-08-12, WinCert having been sold twice lately, Kel having shut down his site on 2017-08-01, and however many other tech boards shutting down, there is a chance that RyanVM could attract more traffic. If that's what we want to happen, then this SPAM situation has got to be de...
