Is this still a valid offer? (Not that I could tell) If not, why was this post triggered as new content? Are you still using Hostwinds to host both HeiDoc.net and Wincert.net? If not, why not, and if so, any comments about your experience with them you are willing to share? Cheers and Regards

There are some very, very slight differences. The code at https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/repack-directx-end-user-runtime-june-2010.84785/ is now mostly the same as the installer created by DXCB, which he referenced in his code comments. abbodi1406 added XAudio2_9redist.dll, did a more correct implementation of DirectX for Managed Code which added some missing registry references, and even made the code slightly smaller. I don't think that most people will notice the differences in practice, but YMMV. As @mooms stated, the end result is essentially the same. Cheers and Regards

It should be in System Properties -- Advanced -- Startup and Recovery - Settings -- System Failure - Un-check Automatically restart. I forget how to get to System Properties in XP, but in Win 7 you can either right-click My Computer -- Properties -- Advanced System Settings, or Control Panel -- System -- Advanced System Settings. But if you can't get to a stable desktop... Cheers and Regards

Thank you! Just curious, but how did you get this updated pack, and the last one you released, when over at both jameszero.net and MajorGeeks the latest version is 7-12-21? Is this something you updated yourself, or do you have some kind of inside track? EDIT: By the way, the link you included to (AbDuLeLaH - Damas Wiki) doesn't seem to function. did you mean to leave it in there? Cheers and Regards

The links are still pointing to RuntimePack.13.10.21.Silent.Install.rar Cheers and Regards

I think the latest version that Rick released was on 2015-11-22. The latest version I seem to have is dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64intl_Slim_2014-05-13.exe. But I guess it's better than nothing. Cheers and Regards

I'm glad to see you haven't changed in the last 8 years, Rick. I hope you are well, my friend. Cheers and Regards

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all! I hope everyone stays safe, especially in these troubling times. Cheers and Regards

Hey, Rick! Long time no see, my friend. Cheers and Regards

I get this as well, quite often, so I assume this is yet again another general problem with IPB. Cheers and Regards

Maybe he was looking for some kind of file that had SFX somewhere in the name? Cheers and Regards

Sounds like a plan. I also had some mysterious problems recently that were happening when going to the settings page, and ONLY when going to the settings page, of all Chrome based browsers. But it wasn't a browser problem, Windows was throwing the error. I could never find out what the issue was, but a fresh install fixed the problem. Good luck! Cheers and Regards

Thank you. That showed the problem exactly. (I do hate Data File Host. Chrome downloaded a 0 byte file, but Opera downloaded the file correctly.) Unfortunately, I still really can't duplicate the problem. I am also on Win 7 x64 (Ultimate), and I tried the exact steps you used with the exact same versions of the the exact same three browsers you used, all with no problems. FWIW, Firefox was the quickest in its page loading. I tried multiple times with each browser. I MIGHT have had a very slight hang one time with Chrome. The "Loading" did not stay visible, but the page was kind of grayed out. Refreshing the page made everything OK, and I could not make it happen again, trying many, many pages on the site. There was never the slightest hiccup with either IE or Firefox. Sorry. I'm afraid I don't know what's causing your problem. Cheers and Regards

I still can't duplicate the behavior. Can you possibly record a screen capture video showing exactly the problem behavior in action? Cheers and Regards

What OS do you use and have you tried different browsers? I can't duplicate your problem. Cheers and Regards
