I used nlite to setup my Brothers laptop and 2 months later i want to update his nVidia drivers. But i cant do it, as soon as i remove drivers it re-installs the origina Integrated ones... How can i remove them from windows so it will stop and ask me which to install. Iv'e tried in safemode several times.
thanks.

In fact C&C might just as all crash because of C&C : it has problem when there are many units (game slows down to less than a tenth of its normal speed) and crashes if you use a super-weapon on a very populated area (which is you kill/damage too many units at once).
With C&C Generals and ZeroHour I agree, it was a 50/50 chance we wouldn't be able to finish the game. Since C&C 3 some friends and I have played many long games without crashes. This problem of mine only started recently and after this thread im thinking it must be Drivers.

As far as I know that option doesn't cause instability. I've been using it without issues.
What can be responsible for your issues is:
any kind of overclocking or voltage set other than auto: cpu, ram, gpu.
Beta gpu drivers, as you stated non-whql, that is worth checking out. Use latest stable drivers from the manufacturer's site.
Also do not disable PageFile if you have by any chance.
No ocing or v-mods. pagefile settings un-touched. Im going to roll-back to the latest WHQL driver to see if it helps, the reason i went with the Beta was for COD4 Issues.
Since I have you attention, what about this option?
"Set TCP/IP Priority to 1"
Could this cause any problems to LAN gaming, or just the opposite (increase performance). I also set the TCP/IP Patch value to 50

This is the nLite Description "Kernal and related files will not be paged (Disable Paging Executive). This speed up the machine if you have at least 512MB of RAM by reducing the hard drive activity and utilizing more RAM instead. This tweak is kind of a tradeoff: More RAM is used to speed up the system for games but applications may also hand when the available RAM drops too low."
Iv'e got a Dell XPS M1710 laptop with a 2Ghz C2D and 2gigs of RAM.
I checked off this option on my latest install. Im also using a new set of non-WHQL drivers.
I often play C&C 3 with a friend over a gigabit LAN, we play 8-player maps and take on 4-6 computers so the games last a long time and get pretty intense.
Since my last format, about 45min in my game has crashed back to desktop twice now (no error message, just shuts down to desktop).
I dont think its heat related, im thinking its either the new videocard drivers im using on this option.
What do you guys think?

yes, that would be it. The PicFaxViewer. I had this problem myself once!
yeah, i was able to fix it by copying the .dll from another xp installation and registering it.

Crap, was just going through it myself and I think I found it.
In nLite I removed "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer"
Just realized in the description it mentions "JPEG Deskop Backround and icon title transparency (only when JPEG used)
Im gonna see If I can re-install this post install... thanx for your help.

It's not the cause. The caching of thumbnails has nothing to do with these shadows. You probably removed something else which you shouldn't have. If you post your last session log file as an attachment I'm sure that someone can tell you what you removed which you shouldn't have.
here it is.

I used nLite and removed/edited a bunch of stuff. After finishing up my buddies Laptop with a fresh WinXP 32bit install I realized Transparent Desktop Icons are not working. They are locked to the backround color, I tried re-applying "use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop" under the Visual Effects tab but it does not work.
The one option I have a feeling it might be linked to is the "Do not cache thumbnails" option i checked in nLite.
So, Is there any way I can re-enabled the "Cache tunbnails" option post install to test if thats the cause?
thanks in advance.
