@dman Downloaded VFP6 runtimes, and carried out the instructions and got the results that I wanted. Big thanks!! It works! @jaclaz I am on my way to edit the cmd. I hope it works! Any instructions further. Thanks again!

Thanks dman, jaclaz, IcemanND! I am already off to get the work done the way suggested by you all and I shall post the results soon.

@k0pect8 Whether it is regshot/regsnap/inctrl, all provide the keys changed in the registry. But the difficult part is when after fresh install the mixer is invoked and setting of 4.1/bass/trebel etc. are applied, there are almost 10,000 keys which are changed/added. To specify which one for which setting is difficult! (Though I have achieved obtaining all settings except 4.1 speakers unattended).

@dman Can you please elaborate the exact usage of sed command. I want to use for replacing the string multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINXP="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" to multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINXP="XP Disk 1". I am really not getting through. Please refer to my earlier post http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=37723&hl= Thanks!

Thanks purewaveform! Infact, I have registered the enteries using inControl and Regsnap to give me the the settings. I found the key [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Creative Tech\Creative Surround Mixer 2\Settings] getting changed for 4.1 speaker settings. Problem is I have to copy all the keys, that is the reason the file is so big. It works but not completely. Maybe if someone has the exact idea of the specific registry key, problem could be solved. Having big registry means you are also importing the environment of that particular windows setup. So chances are the settings won't work perfectly.

Hi everyone! I am using Creative Live Audio Card with drivers ver 5.12.1.444 using $OEM$\drivers folders and winnt.sif during the setup. Can someone suggest how to implement my default settings of enabling 4.1 speakers with my own settings of Bass and Treble after a fresh unattended install. I have tried to backup and restore registry keys and subkeys (though the registry size is 1.02mb) [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\DeviceClasses\{6994AD04-93EF-11D0-A3CC-00A0C9223196}\##?#PCI#VEN_1102&DEV_0002&SUBSYS_80271102&REV_08#4&2E98101C&0&58F0#{6994ad04-93ef-11d0-a3cc-00a0c9223196}] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Creative Tech\Emu10kx\BMix\{00000003-00000000-0000000B-00001102-00000002-80271102}] and also the corresponding creative tech settings from HKLM, HKU. But all settings do not work. Any suggestions to backup and restore the creative settings?

Xpero, check out Winrar 3.50 beta 1, they have now started the theme support for toolbars. Themes are at http://www.rarlab.com/themes.htm.

Anytime!

Nice find. Thanks!

Memtest no doubt is good enough proof. But the memory troubles do occur due to file corruptions too. But since your trouble arose after upgradation of the RAM, the exact message can be posted here for further analysis. My other two solutions are hardware related. If you are not into the hardware stuff, then don't proceed. The BIOS setting is the one which we find when we start the PC and usually is accessed by entering del or F2 key. There can be a bios setting relating to your RDRAM entry which indicates the frequency to PC600 or PC800. You have to check it. What I meant by reinstallation is to setup Windows ME afresh if you have a partition without any other operating system installed. This way the error arising due to corrupt files or even swap file can be ruled. Cleaning the ram socket is always good proposition because most of the times the dust sticking onto the copper contacts doesn't allow the proper connection. I am myself more involved in hardware things and these are my own solutions which have helped me plenty of times in vaiety of computers. But again messing with the hardware is risky unless you are fully knowledeable about it . Good luck!

About the warez stuff of K-lite codec pack, way back in much earlier version, the codec pack entered the serial number of Apple Quick Time. This I had myself seen. But no longer the serial is there. So this might be the impression of the general people about it.

Perhaps double check whether the RDRAM are identical, ie, same make and frequency. Secondly sometimes, RDRAM may not work on the same speed as mentioned. Try to switch the option of RDRAM to PC600 in the BIOS (provided your motherboard supports it). Finally, it is always better to make a new fresh setup, using the latest drivers in unused partition and see if the error occurs. One more thing, if you have upgraded the RDRAM modules yourself, may I suggest to again take out the modules, brush the socket for any dust and reinsert the module firmly.

I am really ashamed of my desktop which I thought was clean. Both are really nice, but aren't they little too bright.

@kelsenellenelvian Thanks! I also intend to repackage a little unknown programme repackage.

Os X isn't bad too. I love both of them.

I doubt Microsoft persons were pretty sure if they could run WinXP Pro on a 450 PIII with measly 64mb shared RAM. Nlite has made it possible and I tried it on this configuration to get the things going. nLite is simply the best!

Option to manually redirect the path of winrar for replacing icons of sfx, winrar shell and winrar toolbar too! Perhaps LH folder icons for explorer also. Thanks in advance.

I think RockXp would suit your needs. Get it at http://www.snapfiles.com/get/rockxp.html

Thanks dman. Earlier about I was searching for a help for a similar type but got no response. (Refer http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=37723&hl= ) Post still is unanswered. But I found munge on the net. But I think sed is still a better option. Thanks again!

The topic has already been covered at some point of time. But for the ease of use, 1. make a cmd/bat file with the setup routine you would like to follow. 2. make a 7z file using right click option in file explorer and including the setup.cmd as highlighted in step 1 (7zip is supposed to be installed) 2. Copy this text as config.txt ;!@Install@!UTF-8! Title="Archive" BeginPrompt="" RunProgram="Setup.cmd /T:%%T" ;!@InstallEnd@! 3. Copy the archive say archive.7z, 7zS.sfx, and config.txt in a folder. 4. Go in a dos box and type following command: copy /b 7zS.sfx + config.txt + archive.7z archive.exe 5. You will get archive.exe in this folder which will do the purpose as required. btw, I for myself follow enitrely different procedure to make installer. I make the sfx archive using 7z and for final installation as you mentioned in a particular folder use Winrar to first, extract the contents in a particualr folder, and then run command after extraction. It helps with more versatile features.

Nice endeavour for less privileged persons like me. Xplode which was a far distant dream for me, may finally be near approach. I would love to get hold on it!

You are really in a hot soup! Reason is fairly simple, XP doesn't rely on the path options like Win98 does, where by simply changin the related entries in msdos.sys, autoexe.bat and registry you attain the path of the new windows location. Windows xp, whereas relies on the relation of the drive/partition format. Which in simple words is not equal to c: or d: at many place in the system files. Thus even if you move the entire Winxp to a newer location, and changed the related occurrances of d: to c:, it still would seek the windows xp directory located in D:. But options like partitionmagic etc moving the drive etc. can be tried out.

I also tried to change the same using a customized desktop.ini which gets copied in runonce.cmd or installs.bat. But it works sometimes at others it doesn't. But if you try and refine it, it certainly will work.

I am a passive smoker. Many others who don't care about non-smokers help people like me to become smokers (passive). Really need some fresh o2.

Avant Browser is my second choice after Opera. I have been using it for more than a year and it really does a great job. Frankly it defeats IE squarely though it use IE core. But the add on features os avant are great. It really comes in hand to save compressed web pages in mht format (IE can also do so). Saving pages in opera is clumsy, if you save a page without making a folder first, the folder where you save it is littered with files. I thin opera people should work about it. Choice of saving in pdf in opera is there but the bookmarks/hyperlinks are killed.
