I want to use nLite to integrate my Ethernet drivers, SMBus drivers, and IDE drivers from the nForce 4 platform drivers for Windows XP (link).
The problem is that there are two inf files in the ethernet directory: nvnetbus.inf and nvenetfd.inf. Which do I integrate? What's the difference?
Likewise, under the SMBus directory, there is nf4sys.inf and nvsmbus.inf. Again, what's the difference?
Under the WinXP IDE folder, there are many inf files:
legacy\nvatabus.inf
legacy\nvraid.inf
sata_ide\nvata.inf
sataraid\nvraid.inf
My hard drive uses an IDE ribbon on the primary interface as a master. My DVD burner uses an IDE ribbon on the secondary interface as a master. Which INF file(s) should I integrate for this setup?
I'm so confused

Hi all,
after becoming aware of the hotfixes posted on the very first message on this topic, plus all hotfixes that tempuser mentioned, plus all hotfixes found on the_hotfix.net, plus all hotfixes I already had, I compiled a huge list of 280 hotfixes; unfortunately, it seems that most of them apply only to ENU Windows. Localized Windows versions have been left behind.
Some of them are already superceded. Anyway, I think it's interesting to know all of them so that we can keep track.
In what regards The_Hotfix.net, all of the hotfixes they found are compiled into a huge 344Mb file found on MajorGeeks.com, under "Admin Tools".
I tried to include the hyperlinks to The_Hotfix.net and MajorGeeks.com, but they were changed to "s.p.a.m.net" when I previewed this post. Even the simple mention of the first of these names is changed to "s.p.a.m.net". MajorGeeks is a website I've been accessing for a long time and The Hotfix.net is a new discovery but I can't say that I started receiving any more spam than I already do.
I can say that I have a very good antivirus, 4 very good anti-spyware programs - all of them for a long time already - and I haven't had any bad surprises on my machine.
I guess you'd all be interested on my list. Just tell me which would be the best way to post it or perhaps I should send a text file with the list to the administrator of this topic.

It's a good idea, and essentially, what I am trying to do. But it seems that none of your sources are official. How do you know you have all the hotfixes? And they're all for SP2? I'd like an official list from Microsoft of hotfixes for XP SP2 that have not been superseded.

I'm just wondering.. how do you guys find out about these hotfixes (other than the security ones on TechNet)?
1. Know that the second tuesday of every month is Microsoft Patch Day, and some time during that day you could go to the Microsoft Update site to see what's new for your system.
2. You could visit http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/current.aspx to see what updates came out when and look at the most recent security bulletins.
3. You could visit http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/...tin/notify.mspx and register for notification when bulletins are released.
4. You could keep watching this forum. While the first page does not get updated immediately (and that is only because Incroyable Hulk likes to do some real testing before just putting the information out there), quite often the end of the thread will have been updated by several people as soon as any new releases are posted.
1. I know that
2. I already go there for security bulletins. I'm wondering about other updates, though.
3. I already receive these notifications
4. I understand, but I was wondering how the people in this thread know that a new patch has come out (that fixes a bug or something; I know security bulletins are posted on technet, but what about other patches).

Does anyone know how to get both embedded wmv files and wmv links working with Firefox?

You should also inform your webpage's visitor that they need to set MPC to save config in an ini file and that they then need to edit it.
This is a problem with MPC, not titou2k's pack. It's not necessary to save to an ini file. You can edit the options directly in the window to make the same change.
Yes but we aim compatibility and convinience.
Anyway, that's not really a big deal.
And I don't really see where you can change /0 to /1 without the .ini file.

what do the \1 mean? wich one should be best?
It deals with the decoder. Personally, I used what titou2k suggested before I even read his post.
I discovered the same thing as Todd, if I remove npdsplay.dll from Firefox\Plugins, it asks to download the .wmv files.But ofcourse then embedded wmv doesn't work anymore
That's the only problem I'm having
Edit: And it seems titou2k hasn't been active for a few weeks

Above problem remains for Firefox... just get a blank page... mpc is not even started so it can't be mpc in this case.
Must be some problem with firefox or the plugin... but Web reported he didn't have the problem.. not sure if he also tested the link above.
Annoying thing is, I have to use IE to download the file, and play it. Can't even force Firefox to just download it.
Same problem here. Any fixes?
Edit: I spoke too soon. I was reluctant to install the WM10lite pack because of this problem on my old nLited system, but I went ahead anyway and apparantly the problem is gone now.
Edit2: Wee.. spoke too soon again. The problem only appears after copying the plugins and components from here to their respective directories in Firefox's directory.

how exactly did you get the updated files? did you install d3 then install the update and see which files were updated? I dont think you can copy those directly over to the cds/dvd.. My dvd (I combined the 3 cd's following a guide) doesnt even have some of the files you listed..
btw this has nothing to do with how often i install doom 3.. i just like to keep all my apps/games with the latest version and without patches to be installed afterwards..
as far as i know, the original nocd file wont work on 1.1

@XtremeMaC Where did I say I want to take the CD's with me whereever I go? That's not it at all.. prathapml has the right idea.. Copy protections arent exactly hard to get around either..
@prathapml I have tried /a with msiexec but it tells me to launch it from setup.exe instead (which then I can't use the switch).. so I'm kinda stuck on this

Uhh.. by "windows setup" do you mean unattended? I dont do unattended installations.. this is so whenever i go to install doom3, i dont have to install a patch with it.. no matter how much time im wasting/saving by doing this, i like to keep my software up to date with patches preferrably integrated in.
I have run the installshield file and went to the temp dir, got the msi file, and the other files, and tried the /a switch, but it didnt work..

not just "windows setups" .. but ive seen it done here for a number of things ... office, .NET framework, etc.. i just figured itd be possible for this too

As you may (or may not) already know, Doom 3 1.1 update was released fairly recently.. The first thing I thought when I found this out today was.. go check MSFN and see if anyone has figured out how to integrate it into the original game files.. When I checked, I was disappointed that I didn't see any.. So.. does anyone know how to do this (you guys are the masters of integrating updates)?
http://www.doom3.com/ <-- download the update if you haven't already

What exactly does the hacked sfcfiles.dll do/used for? I searched Google and found that if you remove the file, you can delete those folders that appearantly have no use in Program Files.. but what about the hacked version?
Edit: And if you use the hacked sfc_os.dl_ do you need to edit i386\hivesft.inf ? The guide says use one or the other but the auther of this thread makes it sound like you need both.

Well, with another partition, wouldnt that mess things up? Say i have partation A (C:) and partition B (D:) .. wouldnt that mess up partition B to delete and add partation A?

The menus dont seem to be the same when first booting into a cd with winnt.sif. Normally, you press Enter on the partition you want to install Windows on, and it asks if you want to leave it alone, format in ntfs, fat32, or quick methods of those. However, with the unattended, once you select the partition it simply states that it will overwrite files in \WINDOWS. How do i use the original where i can format the partition?

Activating with xrm-ms files
in Windows 7
Posted · Edited by todd
I've done as much research as I seem to be able to do. My school gave me a Fujitsu laptop with Windows 7 x64 preloaded with so much junk that it takes literally 10 minutes to get to the desktop. I want to reformat with a fresh installation but using the same key/license.
The bottom of the laptop has a COA sticker that says it's "Windows 7 Pro OA" which from what I gather I cannot activate online or through the telephone.
From what I understand I have to copy the pkeyconfig.xrm-ms files from within system32 and SysWOW64, as well as tokens.dat and copy them into my new installation. Then I use "slmgr.vbs -ipk <key>" to install the key. Is this the key from the "Windows 7 Pro OA" COA sticker? Will there be any other files necessary? Anything else I should keep in mind before I wipe the drive?
Edit: Will this even work if slmgr -dli says it's a VOLUME_KMSCLIENT?
