thanx man, i will take a look, it can be easely done, what you want with the ";". thats easy. i use autoit btw just that you know, so if it finds a ";" it will grey out the option? and it will use the noload thingy from gosh to set them? or is that only for sif files. we can let the program determine the type of file and then open the right tools for it sort of speak. what you think? damian666 btw, can you post me a txtsetupfile.sif here? i dont have one on me...

hi man, thanx for the heads up. i am only making this for the first time, so expect a lot of changes and stuff. i also want to make it a lot more usefull, more entries and stuff... and about that gui thingy, could you make a mockup for me to show what you mean? then i can see if i can make it ok? see you later dude damian666 edit: btw there is a bug in the last option, to rename the multiboot entry, it doesnt include "" which makes it error out. will fix next version.

ok jose, thanx for reporting. i will check it out for you man. workaround is patch the system, and see if it will work then. let me know if it does ok? damian666

Hi there, i have read this, and decided to make a little utility that can do all that stuff on the txtsetup file. its the first release, so check it out and let me know. it needs work on the gui, but the main fucntion works great. takes out the hassle of searching and replacing stuff. text setup modifier 1.0 let me know. damian666

@ mara and squeeto, thanx for the help guys. cant do it alone... @jose, i will check the bug, thanx for telling me man. damian666

no one waiting for this??? thats what you think man... i am, and i know some more. i hope to automate this when you are done with it man. i will create a installer or something for it. but this is not all? i think it misses something? or am i crazy? damian666

hi guys, thanx for the help. @mara, i think i f***ed it up or something, but tell me this, which of the 2 did you patch? i have 2 folders in there so... I will credit you for the help you give man. and squeeto, i got them man, the arrow is much better on this one , thank you man. i would credit you, but you are allready in there dude!! from the beginning edit: i have created a winntbbu for the cd patcher, nice setupscreen . you will see... damian666

hi squeeto, thanx for the try man, i tried it myself too, but i came to the same conclusion, it looks like s***!! well, nice try man... @mara, i found out where to find those xp like icons on the fileopen dialog. they are stored in the winsxs folder in a folder with controls in the name... but when i tried to patch it, my pc would not go past the logonscreen.. so i think we should lt it go... try it if you like, maybe i did something wrong. damian666

well, thats the problem man, i dont have any money made with this so i cant pay anything yet. think thats a problem huh? so maybe someone that likes a challenge? damian666

bug in the visual style huh, well... know how to make a visual style? i dont really, i am glad i got it like that. btw, its not mine to begin with, i just modded it, and added a basic scheme to it. so, maybe, maybe not man. @squeeto, or anyone else, how the hell do i make the bmp transparent without using the magic pink color? and i will try the color code you suggested ok? you want to know where the icons are that look like xp ones in the fileopen dialog huh... well, i dont know, else i had patched them right so please let me know if you find them, all i know is that some programs have their own resources for that, like office does... and that windows update is a real pesky one man. it wont change, just for a sec, and then it will re download itself again... its a crc check i think... well thanx again man... damian666

ok, but then still, i cant do that stuff... know anyone that has the skills for that stuff? anyone with some free time on their hands? let me know dude damian666

hi mara, no ofcourse i dont mind your help in any way... sure, much bugreports are not nice to see, but it arent all bugs, some things i just didnt do yet, or have trouble with... and spelling fault for the fix huh?!!! now thats a stupid bug so people, just cut and past the contents of "vitapack xp" to the "vistapack xp" folder and you are good to go... and the clock, well it is just a little tryout, and as you say, it is not flawless... but it looks better then it was huh?! but if you dont like it, i can always take it out again. because i dont think it can be done better then that... and automatic update is something that resists modding man. when it finds out it is modded, it will dl itself agian. thus getting in a endless loop with the reloader... so sorry, but i dont know how to do it man. and no i didnt change anything in the bootscreen, but sometimes the xp setup takes the bootscreen out of the sp2 cab instead of the cd itself, thus using a non patched one. check the reshacker log in the i386 log dir please...

Hi guys, i wondered if someone could be so nice as to help me make a new webpage. i want a new page as mine is to small to type stuff on and no place for any links and stuff. what i want is Vistalike ofcourse, its for the vistpack home page so... and easely maintainable. could someone help me out? thanx in advance damian666

thanx mara, i will do that... nice bmp's, much better looking the the ones i made, cheers. and about the logofftext remover, i didnt encounter that myself, but i will try to fix it man. but what could cause the reloader to kick in? weird... i will investigate it dude. damian666

ok guys, i tried to get the bug out, the resource fix is on the first page. instructions are included. mara, yes i want that resource very badly... i cant get it right for some reason. the other "bugs" are noted and i will try to fix them for the next version. btw, logoff text remover only works after you have rebooted after the patch process. damian666 p.s. anotherr bug found but this is on 2000, reloader i f***ed... see first post for updated patcher. this is the last time i work on this when i am sick man i make to many mistakes when sick...

or you could try to translate it for me then post it here, and people can use that dialog to replace the ones they have. if you want to, just open 115.res with reshacker. i cant compile the new version on my work, so i have to wait till wednesday to fix it myself for you guys. sorry for that. or post the sysdm you have so i can do it myself, but only at home let me know what you want to do, mara. damian666

well, i have been busy with that file open dialog, but i cant seem to get it right. i think i have to get rid of it now i found it, it tries to patch the 115 dialog, but i only have it in dutch... go to the resources \sysdm folder and open the apropriate txt file. delete the last two lines. run reloader, that should do it. damian666 P.S. else you could post the reshacker log for me, that way i can see whats wrong, just copy paste it here the sysdm log

i am uploading new version now, see in a hour or so for the updated first post. damian666

ok, cool squeeto, thanx for the report dude. and how are you dude? damian666

its a nice idea, but maybe not for this project. maybe i could make a stand-alone for you... let me see ok damian666

well, i have never saw that, but maybe its because rpl2k is only installed for your account? try it, go to the pack dir in programfiles, and there enter the extras directory. go to rpl2k and install it again, please note that you have to switch the option for the toolbar update !!!!OFF!!! when done reboot, and let me kno ok? damian666

thanx man, i got it. i will see what i can do with it. damian666

ok man, let me know if that fixes it. the pack is not tested on sp3, because i cant get my hands on a dutch sp3 yet. its not made by m$ so i have to wait, till then , not supported...

yeah, i know... Believe me, it was not on purpose... BUT it is cool!! could you give me the little script please? then i can get it together with the newer one and see what i can do... "I did however make a version that uses much less resources. (892 kb running right now) " Thats much man, mine uses only 248 kb!! which is a modified one from dougie his script. let me know man damian666

no way.... stupid me, totally didnt see that. And could you help me with something? you know how to lt vistadrive also use the removable drives? btw, update upx in the appdata dir man. damian666 thanx dude Edit: updated and uploaded!!
