Yep, same thing.

What do you mean? The brand name? If so, the brand name gets judged by the quality/efficiency of the software it claims as its foundation, which I'm sure you know. From my personal experience, Norton is trash. If that's not what you meant, please elaborate.

Just wanted to let you Norton lovers know how much your faith in its code is appreciated. My girlfriend's aunt and uncle have a single PC with a high speed connection and they have the AutoScan and LiveReg and etc installed, updated. I got my gf to uninstall that stuff and install Kaspersky. It found 330 viruses, W32.Agents mostly. So much for Norton. Virus Scan Results

Because I prefer appz that are coded well to take less resources to do efficient tasks. Look at my post below. Norton VS Kaspersky. Yes, I can clench my fists quite tight. I have a strong grip. Yes, I do consider that constantly. I'm not a network admin. I'm a single user whose used PCs for 9 years and has developed particular experience and preference as a result. Lol, is this supposed to offend me? My nLited install is for what I use my PC for, my preferences. Of course I wouldn't expect my ISO to suit your own. There are a lot of non-M$ products that are terrific. As for experience, a guy who actually has a job "fixing" people's computers says to my girlfriend's aunt and uncle that they have to reinstall Windows to fix spyware. I instructed my girlfriend what to do and she fixed everything in 30 minutes with anti-spyware and anti-virus software, whereas the other guy couldn't do squat in 2 hours. My overall "knowledge" is not to be judged by you simply because I like low mem usage programs and you prefer every DLL in system32. It's recommended not to do this if you want everything in XP. I don't want everything in XP. I only want the files needed for what I do. Yeah, people who don't take their slow/very old hardware into account when wanting to run HL2 or Doom 3 on the highest res and settings really tick me off, too.

Sounds very useful, thanks Clint.

So do I. 2 years and counting. http://www.myspace.com/jeremyofmany

Removed.

That Avant Stellar keyboard looks like a POS. But appearances can be deceiving...

I personally think more people should volunteer their time to help FDV slim down the registry. He seems to have many good ideas regarding that.

One extra letter. Heh. XPDoggied, LOL. Sorry...

Hey, guys, I'm really sorry about my behavior lately. Especially my attitude towards Clint, it's not like me to be like that. I'm actually going to have a lot of time this weekend (as long as I don't get called in for a job interview) and I feel like messing with Windows. It would be nice to update my "Reducing X:\WINDOWS In SP2" thread. Man, now I have all these ideas...

Printer CD A software bundle of 4 programs, only one of which I use, being the "AOIC" folder, and then there's the "Scan" folder under Drivers and the "Win_XP2K". The Scan folder is what gives me the INF error.

Yeah, you're probably right. My bad. Do you use BitSprit or whatever because BitComet won't work? lol And the girlfriend changing me, well, you'd understand if you were in a 2 year relationship. After getting out of the city and camping out on the ground near a river and actually seeing stars at night got me back to my old roots in my hometown and family. I just realized there's more to life than how DLL-craved I used to be. I'm not saying I won't do it again, but with a job, college, plans for the future, no time. Especially since Fridge-RaideR and PuntoMX aren't around anymore, they were my crew who helped out with a lot. No backup, no time, no progress. Anyway, sorry for calling you obsessed. Sorry to Clint, too.

If you live in the city like I do, walk or take the bus. Rollerblading, jogging, biking... If you live outside a city, get a hydrogen car, heh.

If not Google than Yahoo or something else. Lots of other search engines to give you practically the same results.

Even a complete id*** knows Bill Gates was nowhere near the development team of that software.

Guys, Here.

Honestly, I don't see why you guys are so excited about distrubuting your 50 MB Windows folders. The whole point of the topic is to slim XP down reasonably and keep functionality. Sure, you might have your preferred core functionality. Boot, logon, open your browser, download stuff, view it, post on the forums and play games, but even Gdogg was telling about how many programs he broke because of such a heavy removal. I always tried to reduce XP reasonably and prevent users from posting dozens of threads like "OMFG, DLLs missing heeeellllppp!!!" I mean, keep it in PMs or something. I think a fair amount of users want to retain operations in BitComet for example. Also, lately, this whole "narrow it down to the last kilobyte" just seems so trivial. Heck, see my signature. You guys are spending so much time with DLLs and kilobytes it's rather depressing. If you spend a few hours a day that's great, but if it's like something obsessive, which Clint would prefer, than it's sad. Everyone's looking forward to seeing how you get 50 MBs, because the idea of having such a small filesize is very tempting but realistically speaking, as soon as they try 15 of their favorite programs, you know who they are gonna curse at? I'm just trying to be realistic. Oh and Clint, I'd love for you to say more to me from my doorway. B) Anyway, time to snuggle with my gal, who is priority over a billion DLLs anyday. Nite folks. Clint, that oval shaped rock over there looks like a cool pillow for you. Hehehe, just joking buddy.

No, I'm saying that a program "All In One Center" is installed properly and so are the Printer drivers, but the Scanner drivers of the All In One Lexmark device aren't. Only one printer. The scanner doesn't even show up in Device Manager with an exclamation mark or anything.

Which is for your needs only and not practical for anyone else.

Well, I installed these same drivers for the Lexmark A940 6200 Series last month and everything worked fine. I don't know why it won't work now. The only thing that won't install is the Scan part of it, that's all. Everything else works fine.

Lexmark 6200 Series Error Anyway to resolve this?

I also agree with everything Zxian said. OCZ makes hardcore PSUs.

Too many opinions and perspectives people. Opera and Firefox are excellent browsers. You know what you want the GUI to look like, you know the malicious files out there, the pop-ups, ads, etc. If you are having fun surfing the net as you are right now, than that's the browser for you. Why do you think there are so many of them?! But honestly, I think IE is losing. Opera and FF are gaining.

Use nLite to integrate SP2, your Windows Updates, your drivers, add dozens of tweaks and do Unattended, remove 160+ components slimming your XP down by 445 MBs or so ( I do this, doesn't mean you remove that much!) and use quality software and not junk. After you do all this, Windows becomes more like Linux because it is slimmer, smoother, faster and a lot more secure.
