See here, the most heavy game on earth and a patch is not worth it? I have my thoughts about it, but I see rather a patch which tremendously decreases systemspecs or this game is the way to go for the Xbox360? I'm playing UT3 and this one is also very heavy. With 40 fps on my X1950XT (1680x1050 medium settings) I'm glad. I don't think even about it. First I should spend a mere 3000 dollar on a new system. Sorry, became disturbed by somebody. My local bycycledealer came with his bus (yes, a mobile bycycledealer) Crysis is from EA games and I've also more titels if them. EA is really great un creating games (unfortunaly), but their code is far from optimal. That's why I aspect some performancegain from a patch and specially for this titel. Nor even my neightboor can play that game at full settings with his 8800GTX.

Yes, without any hazzle at all. It flies and the install is done in a mere 3 minutes here. But this XP is also Nlited, but no updates added and only some drivers and some tweaks. That's the reason I think it has to do with a hardware part. My motherboard has a strange behaviour too. It only works good without the mainboarddriver (version won't matter) Installing a whole service pack on the first session is the ultimate test of your Nlite mission. Maybe you can try it without driverslipstreaming and no. SP2 already slipstreamed like your original media is not seperatable. Your system may not be fine as I may guess. Windows XP with SP2 on original media should always install properly! Always. If setup fails from original media there is a suspect somewhere in your case and now it is time to passes things by. 1. Load BIOS defaults 2. Download Memtest86+ ISO and do an overnight test 3. Download prime95 and let it work for 3 hours at least 4. Dump here any error found in the eventviewer. They must be there, I know it for sure.

Nobody? Enfin, write my own logboek. I still continue so I can this thread show on the store where the system goes to at monday. At this night I saw no blue screen or anything other strange. But Vista won't work properly anymore so I decided this night to kill Vista hard and stay with Windows X64. Vista gave me a terrible soundquality and green lines in Aero and in X64 I saw not one artefact during gaming. In Windows X64 the system goes properly in and out stand-by without any hazzle. Even without the ATK110 util. First I'm telling at monday that the main suspect is the ATK110 utility. My system don't like this one and without it Vista works fine, but forgot my drivers by every restart. Windows X64 forget it only after the blue screen otherwise not. So Vista is out. Strange, tonight I game for three hours and nothing happend. I keep my eyes peeled. The first time I hear a motherboard works fine without the driver :shock:

Update 1 A few hours ago I get a beautifull Blue screen at bootup on ATi Tray Tools driver. Direct after the restart the driver whas gone and I've install it again with CCC and it won't crash with CCC so far. It is not a heating problem. The card won't ever reach the 60 degrees Celsius and the cooler is clean and works properly. *Is looking 3 month after warranty offcourse Has somebody here on this whole planet some tips? It will help me out. PS: I've disabled the ATK110 utility update with brute force (I could only remove the sys file in the system32 folder because it couldn't be disabled by any hand) and at this very time it won't crash. The ATK110 util is the second suspect! I've had problems in the past with Vista. Vista without the update forget my graphic driver after rebooting and shows the "PCI to ISA bridge" is gone. Why I'm posting this. I can buy me a brandnew 8800GTS with no hazzle, but it is not worth my money because I'm very satisfactory with the prestations of this card. I must be sure it is the card and that it has no relationship with the ATK110 utility. I won't throw my money away if the problems steys resident with a new card, that's my reason. Any help will be highly appreciated. Offcourse, you could aspect the same from me Update2: Come get some! The sounds never sounds so good without the ATK110 util. The problems with the soundcard are gone ??! Strange system. The blue screen whas a "IRQ_LESS_OR_NOT_EQUALL" with ATTray64.sys. Update 3: I've just played two skirmish matches in UT3 and no problem. What is the purposial of the ATK110 utility??

I'm afraid it won't depend on that. His Windows must see the harddisk because otherwise he couldn't install it or get pass section 2 (perparing bootenvoirement) The first point?? The trial cames without SP2 so that's not ant concern of?? And yes, sure it is possible. I'm also use the trial and I'm at day 59/120. Nice OS, hella yes! Second point, no. Yhe eula explicit depends on the trial and this one needs another activation. You could try it, but I can't give any warranty. If your system still fails, try indeed the P-ata emulation of the S-ata controller, yes, he's right, but I personally think it depends on the hardware. Your system is possible defective so test the memory and the CPU thoroughly and overnight. maybe tonight is a good point of start? The same here best boy. My system has also troubles and I'm getting sometimes a blue screen while gaming. Now the front is of the case and it has more breathingroom, looking if it helps. Blue screen at ATTray64.sys. Now I've that crappy CCC installed. Same s*** here

NLDRV stores all the drivers you integrate. This folder could be easeally removed without any hazzle. Removing prevents from installing the driver again when you want to upgrade a driver. All the drivers in that map could also be compressed with 7-zip. If you need them later.

Hello, System: AMD64 3800+ 2x1024 MB memory X1950XT GPU Rocketteer 600w PSU ASUS A8V-MVP with ATi Xpress200 chipset Problem: The system works fine, but my soundcard is a worry of. Most drivers on both Vista an X64 won't work properly with them. The sound is crappy and clipping and now I'm stick with X64 original drivers out of 3-2003. These one sounds good. What I encounter is some freezes in games. The game and sound hangs and the system reboots and under X64 only that part of the game restarts and I can play go on (X64 won't crash Vista restarts). Games freezes both in Vista and X64 with the Catalyst 7.11 drivers. What I've done so far: 1. I discovered that my monitor fits on Display 2 and 1 is off. I change this and there no more 3 times black screen at logging in. I've played for 50 minutes UT2004 and no error occurs. 32-bots in a game. 2. Next I've had downloaded ATi Tray Tools instead of that hogging Catalyst Control Center. I'm now using the 7.8 Catalyst and no 7.11 or 7.12. At version 7.12 my display goes yellowness when wanting edit display properties and with 7.8 not any issue with display settings. 3. In ATT I've changed the fanspeed of the GPU manually by a scheme. Now it works harder when gaming. Last time I check this out the GPU fan rotates very slow and the card whas reasonable hot. I've only to check the heatpipe. Yes, nice cooldesign 4. Load BIOS defaults and my mem is clipped at 333 MHz instead of 400 MHz. (But timings are also far lower so I don't encounter any performancedrop yet) But I think it is the GPU himself. Yesterday with a 3 hour compression test no CRC error occurs. (Just compres the whole UT2004 map from 9 GB with the highest option in 7-zip 64-bit edition, consumes lots of RAM). Why? In Aero I switch regulairy from desktop to game and back. Between these two I saw green lines on the screen. Very very short, but that green lines won't be fine. In X64 with Catalyst 7.8 I don't saw anything between switching. I know that green lines are not welcome. The fan of the GPU whas not dirty at all. I check that out by removing the card and watch it thouroughly. Nothing unasual and everything is properly fit and the whole card is cooled. (Not dirty in this kind of dusty home?? You got him?). PS: My GPU has never been overclocked 1 MHz. O yes, not forgotten to say: PCI-Express stoods on FAST mode. I set it back to NORMAL.

I have had thisproblem too. Your systems sleeps really, no concern about that, but some devices such as networkcards and the taskschedular can wake up your system. Your system is not off when slepping. Data in RAM remains and the computers waits for a signal and then asks Vista if it may awake. So what to do? 1. Open taskschedular and tweak it to your needs. 2. At the driverproperities from your networkcard, you can select by advanced options not to wake up. 3. Also do this by your mouse device and only left wake from keyboard. 4. Go into the BIOS and select the S3 value and turn off "power off ... last state"

Thanks!! I actually had to do it twice, the first time it wouldn't restart, I reset the computer after half an hour and the updates showed as failed. Then I did it again, the computer still wouldn't reboot, but this time they showed up as successful. This is really weird, I heard of other people having the same problem. A friend of mine who uses Ultimate x86 had no problems at all. The reason I use x64 is so I can use the full 4GB of memory, plus I like the better security of an x64 system. Yes, I know this is a problem these days. I'm lucky, the updates installs correctly here and no hazzles at all. It rebooted fast. My neightboor has the same problem and what helps is a reboot and indeed, update again. As far as I can guess, this is a bug of Vista with specific drivers. I've had a hard to do to, to get some good sound out of my soundcard. Now it sounds clear with alternative drivers SP1 has some fixes about HD audio on-board chips what has to due with sleep and resuming. My advice is to try SP1 for Vista. It came with new hardware supoport. Download that whole big thing and install it.

One question yet: If FAT32 becomes a FAT28 on Windows 200 it does on XP even so. The fastfat driver have still the same layout on every NT machine including Vista. Why? On every FAT32 volume you can install Windows 2000 so that limit rises everywere when deploying FAT32. Is this due since Windows 2000 or Windows 2000 specific? If it is a specific matter, than XP could never be installed at FAT32 due to the backward compatibility??!

This will be the journaling system. Why *should* it be infected? Infected with what? Thanx in advance, that's exactly what confused me. You couldn't wrote it better. But,, If all files are available, every good backdoor can upload it because there no rightsmanagement. Indeed I use a thirt party partition manager and a real good one Many corporations here swere by it. I've a third harddisk with Vista present and this one already resides on the disk so I plug it in yesterday late. I'm in a doubt which suits better for me. Vista or X64. Both works perfectly Important note/question: FAT32 is always FAT28 because the last four bits were reserved by Microsoft?? Not a joke I've red ? Found the answer: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechn...i.mspx?mfr=true I'm right, that's the kind of limitation. Link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/184006/ Link: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...kb;en-us;310525 You're also right , but there's still another limit I thought it is the reason of the 128 GB limit of FAT32. No Offense, you looking it just from another side, but LBA28 is also a limitation, but also for NTFS then, so I mean pure FAT32

Hmmm, a thought of. I can't relativate why Nlite has this behaviour here at home and at work. When slipstreaming patches, something went wrong. That's we encounter. The people who learn by trial and error are the best one, agreed. But I'm busy too

SP3 is not released yet so you can never get a representive image with SP3. If I'm looking via Google in Dutch at XP SP3 , the first result I encounter is a huge warning not to use SP3 at all till it's release. I also skip using Vista SP1 RC1. It has some nasty bugs and without it, it works perfectly... Do you also tested VBR 80-100 MP3's. Only a original install will these files properly and why? I really don't know. That's my experience, but this is personal. Maybe I'm wrong, if then, sorry

Test Can't get out these edit buttons Yet again: All music I ripped is from original media so I'm very critical about quality. Your plan to rip the music again in a lossless format sounds good. These files stored on the harddisk could easeally be downconverted to MP3 when using on a MP3 player.

Thanx I've choosen for 320kbps MP3. 128kbps: I can clearly hear the music is not warm and full. 320kbps is the highest bitrate available for MP3 and I can choose to use *.flac, *.ape and WMA lossless. If I have a MP3 player I can simply convert it to 320 kbps mp3.

Hello, I'm containg some real HD audio albums and I wan't a back-up on my own system. My soundcard is 24/196 compatible, so it should fit. I've done a rip from Vanessa Paradis and convert it via Cooledit pro 2 to mp3 and WMA. Both files were encoded with the best encoders around the globe. One hour of HDaudio consumes 4 minutes to store to WMA 24-bit 440kbps and the equal time to store it in MP3 at 320kbps with no joint stereo. just 2 seperate channels of 160kbps. I don't cheat! 128kbps MP3: Crying, this sucks real hard on my headphone (terrible) 160kbps MP3: Sounds reasonable, but far from normal. Is not Hi-Fi. 192kbps MP3: Sounds moderate, but some guitarsolo's fail utterly and hard 256kbps MP3: Good, but far from perfect. I could hear the artafects still (but still sounds good). 320kbps MP3: Good, but like the other bitrates it fails hard on the solo of Lenny Kravitz. MP3 can't make it good. 440kbps WMA 24-bit 88200Hz versie: WMA 10 Professional: Better work. The solo's won't fail at all and the music sounds good. I can't hear any difference and if you want to hear some differences you should have very expensive equipment of audiodevices. MP3? Don'tuse it if you have good audio sources, use WMA lossless eg or use WMA 16-bit 44.1Khz with 320kbps. WMA is better than MP3 at highest bitrates. Does anybody here done a equal test or? I want to share experiences.

None of them. My favorit defragmenter is the one who cames with Paragon Partition Manager. Just from a bootable ISO and works like a charm. It won't defrag on filebase, but on low-level base (a huge difference kind of matter)

Don't remove Dutch keyboard Sound Controllers Portable Audio Intel Indeo codecs (games need it sometimes) This one could be crappy because the drivers contains codecs. This issue is also going on in Vlite (I hear that clearly). Your media player plays WMA with no problems, but when opening a MP3 file (especially VBR ones) it won't play it at all, right? 1. Install the K-Lite codec pack 2.

That definitely won't work, you have to be running a x64 version of Windows. As I meantioned earlier; my personal advise is to not integrate Updates with Nlitre beyond November 2007. That few updatyes that's remain is an excellent test to figure out WU works with your Nlited version. Is that not the case, your Catalogus files became corrupted which is mostly the case in Nlite versions. It is not for nothing Nlited have regulair updates of his program. Rebuilding a bootable instal-ISO of Windows is a diffucult and very secure task. It al have to do with CLSID's, those nasty unreadable hexadecimal information {b31ae102904abee....}, these things. If something went wrong in one of the CLSID's then you've a problem and that problem is a faillure in slipstreaming and/or using Windows Update. Do you understand the reason now? I'm also use Nlite and my last kopie whas in august 2007. A new start with Nlite fails me utterly so I went back to my 08-07 build which works perfectly. Yhis build has not any patches or drivers and is only stripped by me and some tweaks. 1. Seting up Windows X64 up and running (without network attached) 2. Directly after the first boot up I install SP2 on it (spends only a mere 3 minutes of time on FAT32) 3. Networkcable becomes plugged in and the first thing I do with it is running Windows Update and install the latest updates (takes about 7 minutes of that kind of time) 4. I install all the drivers stored on the Nlited DVD sperately. Also 5 minutes... and configuring it properly (takes some time) 5. Updating the virusscanner At this time one hour is spend including partitioning and defragmenting with PPM (Own bootable ISO and the Paragon partiton Manager's defrag don't defrag files, but the whole partition. Not one fragment left after running it) 6. OpenOffice and that kind of software became installed by me and this spends 15 minutes in total (7 apps) 7. After 75 minutes I restore my back-up and because the back-up is located on the second drive, this is a manner of 2 minutes. 8. After 77 minutes (no joke, I'm timing my work ) the games could be installed and I have 24 GB gamedata what should be copied by the 16 speed DVD+-burner (One hour inclusive defrag, that defragmenter is insane fast on FAT32 :shocking:). Note: I'm using compressed images on the DVD's and this speeds things really up. So 2 and a half hour of work and my system is 100% ready to go. Some coffee deserved or some beer . 2.5 hours once a half year, I did spend more time to go to the dentist every half year or more time than waiting for the red light in traffic.... Why I'm telling this al? I'm not a fan of Nlite and on the other hand I'm a Nlite goeroe. Maybe it is al personal and the time is measured in duty times at work. At home when installing computers for people I'll note every minute spend so people knows exacly what happen and what is cost. At work I'm worth a redicelous 70 dollar/hour (I won't see not 1/3 of this money on my bank) At home my price is 25 dollar/hour and this money is all mine, but if a systems fails due to me, I've to pay it all. I'm still not perfect and one server died by my hand last year, s*** happens sometime (costs 5600 euro, and my own risk is maximal 1000 euro. That's mentioned). More than 1000 times used at work and at home and never fails, never. This real commended program... http://www.partition-manager.com/home/personal/features.htm. Never seen a better and/or faster defragmenter than this little thing hided somewhere in the menu's Evidence : http://www.partition-manager.com/defragmenter.htm I'm very sorry and I won't spam, but this is unheard of. It is my intension to help and fullfill your wishes about a fast system. You paid for it and you want the most out of it, is it true or not? That's my intention. Not to help paragon. At home I've only the bootable ISO, but fully functional (legal thus). You may try it for thirty days and in these days you can build an ISO of it what you can use always. No cracks needed.

The theoretical limit is much bigger. As you mention, 28 bits are used for cluster addressing. That makes a maximum of 268 million clusters. Clusters can be as big as 32 kB, which gives a maximum of 8 TiB. (The FAT will be 1 GiB on such a beast) Yes, that's right, my fault. I mean to say : 128 GB is the practical limit Still Thanx I don't know if volumes bigger than 128 GB are able to create and such volumesizes are unpractical. I must say I'm using the Paragon partition Manager defrag methode. It defrags my 25 gig in 34 minutes and it whas a real mess. FAT32 or rather the Microsoft API's lacks file alignment so the partitions are not created by WIndows setup. I created them with PPM. I'm using 32 Kb units on each volume and it won't freed up so much space I aspected. My average filesize is 3 MB so the wasted space could be maximal 1% of the total space without MFT zone reservation and such things more (these things also freed ip space and far more than 32 KB clusters)

Hello I'm not starting a topic FAT32 vs NTFS because NTFS is far better due to security and hotfixing. We know it all. I'm a systemoperator and I've some serious questions/remarks about FAT32. I don't know exactly if I'm right, otherwise I don't make this topic. FAT32 is outdated and on modern harddisk you need 32KB units or otherwise the FAT can't ben cached. FAT32 has no security in mind and a multi account system is not considerable with FAT32 so don't use it, but why am I still using it? My system: AMD64 3800+ @2880Mhz 2048 MB RAM (2 sticks became corrupted and are RTM) 2 IDE Harddisk (one of 40 and one of 80 GB)(enough for me) ATi X1950XT graphics card (1680x1050@4xAA is no issue) 1. The security overlay from NTFS is a huge overhead. I'm using a harddisk access monitoring system and on X64 with FAT32 the avarage is 312 IO/s and in Vista with NTFS it whas 1455 IO/s. You understand hopefully that a huge IO load on the harddisk shorten it's life. 2. Both harddisk stays 8 degrees Celsius cooler than under Vista. That's scary. (I checked this out. Now there're just cold) 3. My system is still not infected yet. If FAT32 is still that unsafe, my system should be infected. Why this isn't happening (Not I like it, but what function uses the rights management of NTFS for homeusers?) In corporate and industrial surroundings this discussion is not any concern of. NTFS is the way (UNICOS (Unix) were better in history than NTFS ever could). 4. Lost clusters are being stored in files and on NTFS this data is lost or rolled back-up to the previous one. The lost clusters were clusters being written once the error occurs. It is the most recent data and full recoverable till the last bit written (Why FAT is not recoverable??). Nor NTFS could protect you from these single point of faillures. It simply rolls your action back and the data is between 1 and 16 seconds outdated due to the roll-back. (learn about NTFS at Wikipedia eg). For the homeuser not an issue, but we called it: lazy writing. FAT32 don't support any kind of lazy writing and a writing command is executed immediately (or the harddiskcache traps in, but rather than Windows). 5. Windows X64 behaviour on FAT32 is excellent, sorry, I mean this seriously. It flies like never before. 6. FAT is far more friendly to SSD's than NTFS with a fixed log which using it constanly. 7. exFAT is the successor for USB devices with Vista's SP1 which integrates it. Still FAT............. The disadvantages why not using it: 1. At servers FAT is not any concern of. It may not be existing on any server in the world. point. 2. If you share your system (family) and each one have inportant data, stickj with NTFS with no doubt. 3. Permissions and Rights are most needed by homeusers, it should protect them for their unknowness. But, not every user is a beginner. My skilles aren't perfect, but good enough to keep 27 servers at peak running. Watch this point (in my case) 4. Files bigger than 4096 MB won't fit, but most rippers can split, so I never cought this issue here. 5. The theoretical limit of FAT32 is 128 GB - 1 MB, FAT32 is really FAT28 (no joke!) (Due to the hardware of this very day, tommorrow?) Am I right? Is this really a concern of? Why is Windows X64 far more faster on FAT32? And why is FAT32 'dead'? Maybe, I don't understand the hype of NTFS. Also NTFS has it's own disadvantages. NTFS is really nice on a U320 harddisk not for IDE or cheap Sata disks. The Raptor will change it all. I'm serious. My English is far from perfect and I beam up my skills here. If I'm making big faults, please report if you like.

Oh, didn't know that Most when users said of "creating a new setup CD" they mean a Nlited CD. Can you explain what happend exacly? It is possible that some updates won't work with a custom pre-instal. One advice in mint: Build a new one and don't intergrate updates beyond November 2007. Why not? The few updates that remains on the server where fast installed and it won't mess up your customized build. If Windows Update works, your mission is mostly a succes. A good test. My Nlite version of 2003.X64 from august 2007 is still the best one. I've had build onother one at Januar 1, but this one won't work satisfactory for me. I don't know why, but my best experience is to slipstream not any update only drivers. The nasty thing when you integrate drivers is that these where stored in the $oem folder and if you want to update a driver it automatically picks the one out of the $oem folder before you can cancel it such fast. Remove this folder when upgrading will help. Some tips

Doublepost, sorry.

Check the update posts on this forum. You're new here so I make it some easy: Here: http://www.msfn.org/board/HOTFIXES-UNLISTE...P2-t110439.html Check it out I thought there's an update that won't work with Nlite. Check out the posts about Nlite. And I have one usefull note to you and all other Nlite users (like me offcourse) Nlite has some difficulties by handling the Catalogos roots properly. Why, i don't know exactly, but some CLSID's in a Nlited systems where out of date or contains some errors. This is not that bad, but some things could be diffrent than the FPP install. 1. With Vlite you could open only programs as admin in the startmenu himself and not in the Most Recent Programs Used List. 2. With Nlite, the AK0110 utility faisl to install on ATi's Xpress 200 chipsets (here). It won't hurt anything, but is some of strange behaviour due to an error somewhere in th install. At august last year I've had made my last Nlited X64 DVD and it is still in function because I'd not slipstream the servicepack and why not? If a servicepack will install properly on the first boot-up, your Nlite mission is succesfull. Otherwise you don't know that and the install of SP2 on X64 takes only a mere 3 minutes and nothing longer (and my system is not brandnew). Use the "/nobackup" switch behind the installer and it flies and my Windows X64 setup is nothing slower. It still boots up like a charm such fast and that's the mission of Nlite. Tighten your Windows to fit your needs. I still like Nlite

doublepost, sorry. Somethings goes wrong?
