Have a read of Aaron Stebner's thoughts on this subject. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2010/12/22/10108400.aspx He also has a very good tool for removing and verifying .NET setups. Look under My Useful Tools in the left column.

Mp3Tag version 2.43 runs with the pack from http://win2kgaming.site90.com/phpBB2/viewt...php?f=6&t=7 It may run with the KDW pack as well.

This is another XP API for Windows 2000 http://win2kgaming.site90.com/phpBB2/viewt...php?f=6&t=7 I'm experimenting with this one at present. It's got the latest mp3Tag working for me under 2000 - yeah - but I still need to put the application through more testing to verify it. Your mileage may vary.

Iconoid http://www.sillysot.com/ One solution. There are other similar apps that do the same.

Copy GCDROM.SYS to the root folder of your A: Edit your CONFIG.SYS by adding the following lines. DEVICE=GCDROM.SYS /D:MSCD000 /C0 DEVICE=GCDROM.SYS /D:MSCD001 /C1 DEVICE=GCDROM.SYS /D:MSCD002 /C2 Delete any other lines that refer to a CDROM driver. Edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT by adding the following line MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD000 /D:MSCD001 /D:MSCD002 Delete any other lines that refer to MSCDEX.EXE

nlite makes ISO files which you then burn to disk with another burning application nlite doesn't do any burning itself

Two possibilities. There is an Autopatcher Windows 2000 out there. Do a Google search on autopatcher torrent and see what you can find. Can't verify how good it is and it might be a little awkward to find. The other is this thread. http://www.msfn.org/board/HOWTO_fully_date...DVD_t97047.html It's designed to create an uptodate 2000 CD but you can use it to update your system. Assuming you've patched with the Gurglemeyer SP 5 pack, then download the files Kurt lists, i.e., the 100 to 740 files plus the various RunOnce files he mentions. Careful reading of his post is required to determine correct files and order of installation - I may not have listed all of the correct files. Create a batch file to install them in the order specified (numbering as he shows is very useful). Preface each command with start /w so each file installation finishes before the next one starts. You may require two or more batch files, e.g. one to handle the Hotfixes and one to handle the RunOnce files.

Interesting. I'd check with the company to see how Windows 98 runs with that FAT64. But look at these two links out from Paragon http://www.ext2fs-anywhere.com/index.htm http://www.mount-everything.com/home/ntfsw/features.htm The other point is, how well does your video software support extra large files? Can it safely go over the 2 Gb and 4 Gb limits?

Sorry. It included all of the August stuff you listed as well. Here's the list of what Windows update required fixed. Looking at some of these dates; these are a year old. No other Microsoft apps added. Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - August 2007 (KB890830) Security Update for Windows 2000 (KB914388) Security Update for Windows 2000 (KB911280) Security update for (Jscript Version 5.6) for Windows 2000 (KB917344) Security Update for Windows 2000 (KB917953) Security Update for Windows 2000 (KB913580) Security Update for Windows 2000 (KB917736) Security Update for Windows 2000 (KB914389)

Works. Very nice. With August hotfixes it only needed 7 security updates and 1 Malicious Software Tool from Windows Update to complete Express update. One hardware device error which I think you may have got. "The class installer has denied the request to install or upgrade this device" The device is classed as a MEDIA device and seems to be a gameport and won't install from Add/Remove Hardware or Device Manager after all of the setup has finished. But it found pretty much everything else which impressed me. Some ATI codecs had to be got from Windows Update but that's nothing. A 1 Gb DVD disc with 975 Mb of drivers and addon applications was used on a system with 640 Mb of RAM and a 200 Gb hard disk with a 1.3 GHz Duron processor. Installation time approx 1 hr to 2 hrs.

No, the app is doing what it is supposed to be doing, just my eyesight. Apologies. There are no attributes on the files concerned being worked on.

Can you give me a link to the drivers you used? I tried with some Rhine network card drivers, but I cant reproduce it. http://www.viaarena.com/default.aspx?PageI...mp;SubCatID=147 The file that I downloaded was rhine-ndism-x86-x64-368-setup.zip with two folders x86 and Vista. I ran your tool on the x86 folder.

Works for me. Win98SE. IE6. Ran through the update process. Told me I had 39 updates (which I don't need).

You are looking inside c:\ (the root folder of c:) Oh and also post the contents of your autoexec.bat which is found in the same place.

The second error message is because you need a copy of DOS4GW.EXE inside the MAX folder. DOS4GW.EXE is an application that enables the use of extended memory and was very popular with a lot of games including DOOM. It is very easy to obtain and is free. Drop the following into Google and do a search and download and put it into the MAX folder. dos4gw.exe download The first error message is probably due to the way you have set up your CONFIG.SYS file. Can you post the contents of that here?

Then no problem.

NO It depends on where you downloaded the contents of the UMBPCI files to. If you unzipped to just ordinary MAX then the lines should read DEVICE=C:\MAX\UMBPCI.SYS and the rest will be similar Use Windows Explorer and check. If they went to MAX then it is as above. If you did download to Program Files then it is as you say. But use Windows Explorer to check where the folder is.

Once inside FRUIT try the following commands and observe the prompt (the > symbol) and see what changes. Make sure you have copied files as per the previous page into FRUIT, APPLE and PEAR. Press Enter after each command cd APPLE dir cd .. dir cd PEAR dir cd \ dir cd \FRUIT\APPLE dir cd \FRUIT\PEAR Use exit to get out. Anything doesn't seem right use exit to get out and then come back in.

www.computerhope.com is a good start for reading about the commands. To practice you should make a folder under C:\ called, let's see FRUIT (use Windows Explorer for the following) Inside FRUIT make folders APPLE and PEAR (use Windows Explorer) Copy small files into APPLE and PEAR. Word files are OK. Small text files are better. These files should have no spaces in them. So files with names like 1998 taxes.doc Let Mum.txt are not OK but files like 1998taxes.doc LetMum.txt are OK. File name length should not exceed 8 letters before the . and 3 letters after the . Get to the command prompt and type cd \fruit and press Enter Your command prompt should look like C:\FRUIT> Type dir and press Enter You should see two folders called APPLE and PEAR. If you do you are ready to practice using the DOS commands. To get back to Windows from the dark place type exit and press Enter. I couldn't find a decent DOS tutorial on the Net. You may be able to find a book at the local library. But you must at this stage be able to use DOS to go much further. If the GUI crashes DOS is your friend and saviour. For trouble shooting and emergency data recovery DOS is your friend.

Let's see. Do you know how to use the command line? To use the cd command, to copy and rename files? Do you know how to start in safe mode and step through your config.sys and autoexec.bat files? Can you download and extract the files here http://www.uwe-sieber.de/files/umbpci_e.zip? Use the 7-Zip file manager to unzip if you need a good unzipper. That's for starters.

Then you also need to go here http://www.mdgx.com/mem7.htm and see the contents of MDGx's config.sys and autoexec.bat files. He's not using Progam Files to store these files but a folder called MAX, it does make life a little easier doing it that way.

I presume you have examined MDGx's site here http://www.mdgx.com/umb.htm#QUI
