  1. Answer this question: why do you need administrative rights when you're browsing the internet for example?
  2. To clear things up, none of your drivers will properly work in a virtual environment. The virtual environment uses virtual hardware, which is not a virtual copy of your own hardware. The drivers which you will need for your virtual environment are the ones included with the specific virtual software. If you want to test the drivers for your own hardware, you cannot use a virtual environment, you can only test it on real hardware.
  3. Overview of Windows XP Service Pack 3.
  4. You can grab Intel drivers from their web site, Marvell too from their web site, both are quite generally used.
  5. The fast user switching functionality in Windows XP relies on this service, so if you disable this service, the fast user switching functionality will not work anymore and might produce errors. Terminal Services is required for the use of remote desktop and such as well. If you want to disable Terminal Services, simply disable it via services.msc. I don't believe that it should cause any errors besides the fast user switching perhaps.
  6. If you've removed the WMP components via nLite from your installation source, you cannot install WMP afterwards anymore. You will need to rebuild your installation source and not remove the required components to solve this issue. I don't use nLite for these kinds of things myself, as I like to be in control of my unattended installation project. I prefer the use of HFSLIP, which gives me more control.
  7. First of all, I don't own any console at current, but I have played on various consoles. The advantage of a computer over a console is that you can use a computer for much more than a console. Consoles are meant to play games, period. A console therefore can't replace a computer. A computer however can replace a console as is. This might sound like I prefer a computer over a console, but the fact is that you simply can't compare them properly. I'm planning on getting an X-BOX 360 myself. I've got a proper computer at home on which I can play any of the current games, but next month there might be a new game which requires a more heavy videocard and then I won't be able to play it properly. If you buy any console, any of the games meant for this specific console will work. In other words, there isn't any need to worry about if you'll be able to play a game or not. This is the reason for me why I'm planning on getting a console, besides already owning a proper computer. As for which console to buy, don't go for the looks of the console. This might sound like a silly advice, but I know several people who bought an X-BOX 360 Elite just because of the colour, but they'll never use any of the extra's that the Elite edition offers, so they could have better spent less money on their console in my humble opinion. Choose a console based on what you want to do with it. If you need a large hard disk, go for one with a large hard disk. In case of an X-BOX 360, don't buy one without a hard disk; you'll regret it later most likely. Ask yourself which games you would like to play. Certain games are only available on X-BOX 360, others only on Wii or PS3. If most of the games which you want to play are only available for PS3, go for it. It's the games what you'll use your console for, so check this properly. Also check for the quality of the graphics. Personally I don't like the Wii when it comes to it's graphics, it's controls, it's games, et cetera. The PS3 is better, but in my humble opinion it's rather expensive and the graphics on an X-BOX 360 look the same to me. Most games which I'm interested in are available for X-BOX 360. I don't like the white colour of the X-BOX 360, but the machine itself is good and comes well equiped for the money. In short, if you have a computer which is sufficient for your needs, go for the console which offers the most games of your liking.
  8. You won't gain any performance, you might actually lose some, but on nowadays systems that won't be noticable. But lets not make it technical. The advantage of running certain applications in a separate process is that if one process crashes, the other ones keep running. It can best be explain with an example: if you run three instances of Internet Explorer and one crashes, they'll all go down. If you run each of them in a separate process, only the one which crashes will go down. ; LAUNCH DESKTOP IN SEPARATE PROCESS [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer] "DesktopProcess"=dword:00000001 ; LAUNCH FOLDER WINDOWS IN SEPARATE PROCESS [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] "SeparateProcess"=dword:00000001 ; LAUNCH BROWSER IN SEPARATE PROCESS [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\BrowseNewProcess] "BrowseNewProcess"="Yes"
  9. I guess your CD drive is dirty, broken or can't properly read these brands of CDR's. Burn your project on a different CDR and try again.
  10. Most of your questions can be answered by simply reading and searching the forum.

    COD4

    Just finished the single player mode. Very nice! I love the epilogue
  12. Panarchy does not take it too close with rules, as I believe this is at least his third thread in which he discusses/offers illegal software and/or activities.
  13. Try to boot from the disc on another machine as well as testing the ISO-file itself in a virtual environment.
  14. This is pure nonsense I'm afraid. Even when the file is marked as a system file, read-only and hidden, it can still be tampered with by virusses.
  15. Are you certain that the boot order in your BIOS is set correctly? Do you really try to boot from CD-ROM and not simply from another medium? Does the disc work within a virtual environment such as Microsoft Virtual PC 2007? If the disc doesn't work within a virtual environment, your CD-ROM does indeed not contain a bootsector. If you want to get something in more detail, you'll have to provide more details yourself, such as answer all these questions and explain what you have done and where you get stuck; did you use BBIE.EXE, did you burn the disc using Nero for example and how did you do this exactly then?
  16. Or simply convert the documents to PDF.
  17. Download all driverpack files, including the BASE file, into the same directory. Do not unpack any files. Next simply run the BASE file, which is an executable. That's all you need to do.
  18. That's what you get when you break the EULA; nLite is only meant for personal use!
  19. It sounds like it's simply not booting from CD-ROM. Check your BIOS to see if it's set to boot from CD-ROM. If it does try to boot from CD-ROM, then apperantly the CD-ROM which you burned is not bootable. Did you burn the disc properly; what do you see on the disc itself/what are it's contents? Did you remove anything using nLite, did you add anything, et cetera or did you only use it to integrate drivers? Have you tested your ISO-file in a virtual environment, such as Microsoft Virtual PC 2007?
  20. ... which is not allowed according to the nLite EULA, which is only intended for personal use!
  21. No, the path on your installation source will be $OEM$\$1\Install\Applications\Zone...blah, which will be copied during setup to the root of the drive where you will install Windows, so probably C:\, and there the full path would be C:\Install\Applications\Zone...blah. See the $OEM$ guide here for more information.
  22. I don't quite understand your request, as it sounds like way more work than the way it normally would work; just extract the first archive file from the split archive and WinRAR will automatically extract all other archive files from the split archive.
