Function is limited, only Open Network and Sharing center is working. Icon has status connected when WLAN Service is running. Connect window does not appear.

After using Driver Fix from Desktop, then the Wireless icon becomes alive. It includes Install of the WiFi drivers and Start of WLAN Service. PENetwork is still needed for WLAN Connect and Authentication.

I need those settings to get Partitioning with 63 Hidden Sectors like used in XP - Alignment 7e00 = 63 * 512 bytes

I saved an Optimize Profile just after only using Screen Resolution. On comparing it with Profile for not using Screen Resolution, I found these files as needed for using Screen resolution. But I agree that it might quite well be that it still contains some unneeded files. Testing will take more time ..... Anyway Screen Resolution is working now by adding only few files. Thanks for list of files needed for image and photo.

Screen Resolution can be Set from Desktop context menu by adding to the WIN7_add_explor.txt filelist: WIN7_add_explor.txt // Screen Resolution \windows\system32\shgina.dll \windows\system32\themeui.dll \windows\system32\en-US\shgina.dll.mui \windows\system32\en-US\themeui.dll.mui EDIT: Only these 4 files are really needed

Hi trizet, The Remove Shortcut Arrow tweak has an unwanted sideeffect: using Manage in context menu of Computer desktop icon does NOT work anymore. This tweak is removed in the latest build. Surprisingly Wallpaper Desktop is working when booting with pe3_x86.iso from grub4dos menu on harddisk where Windows 7 resides. Previously the ISO was booting from grub4dos menu on second harddisk where XP resides and in that case the wallpaper disappeared as soon as Explorer Shell is starting. How come ? Sometimes results are unexpected ..... Cheers

Thanks for the filelist. I will try to use it for adding extra features. I have found in AutoIt3 program the cause of the Error message about missing hotfix. It will be repaired in next version. If you just Continue then the hotfix is found. The Error is only in giving the message. It is not needed anymore to change en-US strings. Make_PE3 programs support sources with different language and will find the files.

The AutoIt3 version does the same thing as the Make_PE3.cmd file. They are independant programs made in different ways.

The lines were made to find in both cases the hotfix. If it does not work for you, please tell me what is the solution to your problem. What changes in the program are needed for you ? At the moment I don't see from here what is going wrong for you. Was it working OK when using WAIK as source ? Your remaks about import of registry are certainly interesting. I need more study on how to use hives. Do you have more information or examples.

Hi trizet, I changed the program and applied your CUSTOM reg files. The shortcut arrows are removed now. That is OK. The former problem was due to settings overuled by PE3-SOFTWARE_CLID.reg The custom wallpaper is loaded, but again as soon as Explorer Shell appears, then the wallpaper disappears and is replaced by blue desktop. Somehow it does not work for me, but I can leave it in the program as it might be useful for others. Wallpaper remains OK in case of BSExplorer Shell My source is x86 winpe.wim of WAIK combined with 32-bits Windows 7 files.

Thanks Do you have sound working now using the audio_fix.cmd batch program ? At the moment I can only give full support for the x86 version, since I don't have x64 version to do experiments. I can reduce the number of files needed for audio support, so that it will be almost no extra as compared to explorer shell support. In the next coming version the two options have merged to simply Explorer shell = YES

Hi trizet Copy to / Move to and change FBWF to make larger scracth space are working OK. But remove shortcut arrow does not work for me. Desktop background is appearing with startnet.cmd ,but is replaced by darkblue desktop when Explorer Shell appears. Also I cannot Change background with jpg or bmp using Control panel. I can browse for folder, but no pictures appear and they cannot be selected. Do you have a solution for Change background to work ?

Thanks for your help. I will test your contribution and if possible add it to Make_PE3 package. Can you give the registry tweaks needed for shortcut arrow and context menu, then I will add them also to the Make_PE3 package.

I can open Network and Sharing Center, but it is not yet working. It needs some more services to be installed. I can see it is working for you. Can you tell me what extra services and files of Windows 7 do I need to add to make Network and Sharing center working. Thanks for your help.

I have made batch program driver_fix.cmd that is auto launched by startnet.cmd This program will auto install network drivers and Start WLAN Service. Additionally some important drivers taking not too much time are installed. Wired Internet Connection is ready without using PENetwork. Wireless Internet Connection requires to use PENetwork for Connect and Authentication. In total this adds about 30 sec to the boot time, which I think is acceptable. driver_fix.cmd :: ========================================================================================================================== :: ====================================== driver_fix.cmd ==================================================================== :: ========================================================================================================================== TITLE driver_fix.cmd - PE3 fix @ECHO OFF CLS SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION ECHO.

Then use Make_PE3.exe to remake and install pe3_x86.iso in grub4dos boot menu. Then Reboot with pe3_x86 Boot Image and Enjoy auto install of network drivers. Next version of Make_PE3 package will have driver_fix.cmd build in.

I can have Internet Connection without running PENetwork in case of LAN ethernet wired connection. What I did is install the driver of my network card using the already provided inf file by modifying audio_fix.cmd or by adding to startnet.cmd the command: drvload.exe X:\Windows\inf\netrtx32.inf Your inf file can be different, have a look in X:\Windows\inf folder and test with cmd window. You will find startnet.cmd in Make_PE3\PE3_mod\PE3_add\x86\Windows\System32 Similarly I can Install other drivers like: drvload.exe X:\Windows\inf\hal.inf drvload.exe X:\Windows\inf\cpu.inf drvload.exe X:\Windows\inf\usb.inf drvload.exe X:\Windows\inf\usbstor.inf drvload.exe X:\Windows\inf\msports.inf drvload.exe X:\Windows\inf\oem0.inf drvload.exe X:\Windows\inf\oem1.inf drvload.exe X:\Windows\inf\oem2.inf drvload.exe X:\Windows\inf\oem3.inf drvload.exe X:\Windows\inf\oem4.inf drvload.exe X:\Windows\inf\oem5.inf Install of all drivers is taking more time. Especially machine.inf is taking too much time. I think there is no possibility to keep the settings e.g. use them to Update the pe3_x86.iso boot image. The oem*.inf files correspond to the drivers present in Make_PE3\PE3_mod\WIN7_drivers\x86 In case of Wireless connection I still need PENetwork to give the authentication, but install of the wireless driver and starting of the services can also be done with batch commands. Start Wireless NET START Eaphost NET START dot3svc drvload.exe X:\Windows\inf\netvwifimp.inf drvload.exe X:\Windows\inf\netvwififlt.inf netcfg.exe -c s -i ms_nativewifip NET START Wlansvc

I have here the same problem and hope that Holger at boot-land.net can solve the problem. I see you have described your problem already to Holger ..... Succes

After booting with PE3 from USB-harddisk, you can use USB_XP_Setup.exe of U_XP_SET package to prepare local harddisk for Install of XP. See Step 6 in http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=21883&st=35 You can use Make_PE3.exe of Make_PE3 package to create and install pe3_x86.iso booting from grub4dos menu. Instead of using XP Setup you can also make use of Universal XP Image files and use IMG_XP_Restore.exe of IMG_XP package to Install XP on various hardware. In this case one can restore the Universal XP Image file which may include installed programs like Office 2003. http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=23553

Learning procedure to make Universal XP: Use BOOT_IMG.exe to Install XPRAM_1.img Image in GRUB4DOS Menu and boot from FiraDisk RAMDISK. Let XP auto-adjust and install drivers for hardware and install some missing drivers (look in device manager) Use IMG_XP_Update.exe to improve registry of XPRAM_1.img Repeat the procedure by booting on various hardware with improved XPRAM_1.img from FiraDisk RAMDISK. Each time the registry is learning and improving and next time you direct boot with improved XPRAM_1.img More Info: http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=23553

@joakim Thanks for xml2reg tool. Can be handy. With PnPutil.exe one can Install all Hardware (except Video driver). It would be nice if we can keep the settings and that PE3 would automatically adjust to hardware. Universal PE3 Boot Image would be interesting, but until now I did not find a procedure that keeps the settings for next boot with PE3. Universal XP and Windows 7 as made with IMG_XP package, learn from booting on various hardware and automatically adjust the drivers when booting. Do you have ideas about it on How to make Universal PE3 ?
