All the Windows updates compressed into a single file for offline use?

Hey guys,.

Often, I have to reinstall from my copy of Windows Vista 32-bit. Whenever I do this I have to go through the process of updating all online again, since before the SP1. Of course, this implies several reboots as he patched the update and takes usually 3 or 4 hours. Is there a way I can pack all of the updates to date in a single file which I can run immediately after a new installation?

It is available online, or is there a packing method updates on my computer?

Also I'd rather not do this by creating a "ghost image".

As for the original question, turns on you can download SP1 and SP2 from the Web site. If I did that, then stored the files on my other HARD drive, I could run them immediately after a new installation. It would take a lot of time in the update process.

Unfortunately, there are several SP1 and SP2 updated prerequisite that must be installed before either Service Packs can be installed, so I must say no, it would not be a viable solution.

Very generally, it is not advisable to install a Service Pack for Vista until and unless it comes to the computer through Windows Update.

Your best bet would be to avoid all situations and/or applications that could lead to having to do a clean install of Windows.

Speaking of which, you format the HARD drive and do a clean install every time, right? ~ Robear Dyer (PA Bear) ~ MS MVP (that is to say, mail, security, Windows & Update Services) since 2002 ~ WARNING: MS MVPs represent or work for Microsoft

    If you want Office 2007 updates to appear in the installed updates again, you would need to uninstall/reinstall Office 2007 and install all the updates again.

    Assuming that Office 2007 is installed & working properly and no update is offered when you run a manual check for updates now, you might want to leave enough alone (that is, do nothing) - then see if the 2 updates for Office 2007 SP3 be released next Tuesday (a) receive, (b) successfully install and (c) are listed in the installed updates later.

    PS: The possible causes of the problem are messing with registry cleaners, messing around with the Software Distribution folder, and the fact that it was a computer refurbished when you bought it.

  • Make the png/jpg sequence into a single file png/jpg

    Hello

    does anyone know how can I make animation as sequence of images (png or jpg) and get 1 big png/jpg file?

    frames can be registered vertically or horizontally.


    what I get is: http://oi62.tinypic.com/2wp7csh.jpg


    is it possible automatically in AE somehow (option, script, plugin, external software)?

    This isn't a sequence of images, it's a film strip.

    I would make your project to a sequence of images. Make sure that your master or rendered comp is the same width that you want your film.

    1. Now import your images as images, not as a sequence of images to After Effects (you can do something similar to Photoshop)
    2. Select your entire image sequence and then click on file > new comp from selected, then choose unique composition.
    3. This should give you your whole image sequence in a composition with the images in the correct order. If the order is wrong, then start again by selecting the first image in the sequence first and then sliding the last image
    4. Now you need to change the size of your publication by going into settings of Composition (Ctrl/Cmnd + K) and the Advanced tab, click on the upper area of the Center in the anchor selector
    5. Now, go to the Basic tab, make sure that lock the proportions is not selected, and then select the height
    6. Use the arrow key to move to the end of the size of the height and type * and the number of images in the sequence (IOW 640 * 20)
    7. Go back to your publication and add this expression to the position property of the upper layer:

    h = thisComp.height;

    n = thisComp.numLayers;

    y = height/n * index;

    x = thisComp.width/2;

    tempY = n - (height/2);

    y = tempY + index * height;

    [x, y]

    Or select all of your layers, then apply this preset

    If your publication is completed save any image in format PSD using Composition > save the calendar layers Photoshop or Frame save as file

    Your ' e done.

    It says this - "Note if this problem occurs, it may take 30 minutes to undo changes, and then the system will display the login screen Windows.»

    But this is not true for me, I have nowhere near the logon screen. Earlier the PC rebooted, but is IMMEDIATELY returned to the exact same failure screen. There is a line.

    A few notes:

    (1) it is a G46VW mobile computer ASUS 'Republic of gamers ". I had 3 days. There is no DVD drive so I can't use any kind of boot disk.

    (2) I have no attached removable media.

    (3) I don't know how to get to any screen except that this form of failure, so do not know how to enter in a single command.

    (4) all that happens is that I see the ASUS logo, then this screen failure immediately.

    I'm panicking, it's all new. It has worked very well. I started it today, it has been updated slowly. I saw him at about 17%. Then I looked at a few hours later and saw that he was stuck in this process.

    You can wait patiently (updates will appear later) or there is a problem in the article.

    You need to reinstall Windows for the fix. Your PC must be isolated from the network when reinstalling windows. You need to download both updates and install before connecting your PC to the network.

    I used the fix of Ed Bott and it works. But I reinstalled Win 7 again. I wasn't going to wait for hours and hours to get the security updates.

    You can try to install these updates on the problematic installation of Win 7:

    1. apply the Microsoft patch found here. Disconnect from the network.

    2. install the two updates in offline mode and cross your fingers.

    3. repeat on Windows Update.
