Andromeda, my compression method sorts out the files which are required by Windows for installation of the display driver. All the rest of the nVidia bloat is not required to run games or to use dualview. Hack, why was I using nLite

Ok, tested with Nero Burning Rom 6.6.0.13 today. Seems to work great except the 7-zip command. I don't know what, but my computer can't handle the 7-zip ultra compression. It just get's stuck consuming over 150 MB of ram and using 0-2% cpu usage. Maximum compression (-mx5) does the job with 98% cpu usage and 40 MB ram usage and finishes quick. BTW, could you please remove the German and Japanese translations out of the package?

Seems only problems trying to write to harddisks larger than 137 GB then?

What's the 137 GB limit anyway? My harddrive is properly detected

Hmm, this is weird. What does Microsoft says about this? You still have to get an XP license for using the Windows XP network wizard. I'll suggest you to use the Windows 98 SE Hotfix, even if the files are the same as the Windows ME version.

EDIT Code seems to work. However please use expand -r to extract files from archives

You better hurry requesting Windows 98 Hotfixes. Half-way 2006 Microsoft will cut down on support for this OS.

Wiener, please provide links to the specific drivers you have problems with.

After a reboot the system hangs just as it did without modifications. I think Windows needs the usbstor9x.sys driver for this device as a helper. Thans for helping. I'll test that dll you told about.

I'm just a tester Have not tried a driver pack yet anyway.

I now have changed the usbstor.inf in C:\Windows\Inf. Removed device and reinstalled. Now the USB Massstorage driver detects the Card reader properly and it's working now without the USBSYS9X.sys helper driver Why does Windows not detect this Bulk devices automaticly, like XP does? I looked up in the inf's but could not find the difference.

Can we please add NTFS read support???

Currently I'm in testing phase. Approximately 10 drivers will be installed. (Around 15 MB compressed). However I thought everybody was using this method prior setup (using the fake setup launcher) or during detached program period. On what time do you run the SetupCopyOEMInf.exe tool?

This method works Here's the AutoIt script I use at detached programs stage: Winnt.sif [GuiUnattended] DetachedProgram=autoit3.exe Arguments="%systemroot%\System32\presetup.au3" PreSetup.au3 $CD = DriveGetDrive("CDROM") For $I=1 to Number($CD[0]) $pa = $CD[$I] & "\win51ip.SP2" If FileExists($pa) Then $instDrv=$CD[$I] Endif Next ProcessSetPriority ( "setup.exe", 0) Run(@SystemDir & "\WatchDriverSigningPolicy.exe") ProcessWait("WatchDriverSigningPolicy.exe") RunWait(@SystemDir & "\SetupCopyOEMInf.exe " & $instDrv & "\Drivers") ProcessClose("WatchDriverSigningPolicy.exe") ProcessSetPriority ( "setup.exe", 2) FileDelete(@SystemDir & "\presetup.au3") FileDelete(@SystemDir & "\WatchDriverSigningPolicy.exe") FileDelete(@SystemDir & "\SetupCopyOEMInf.exe") It's also compatible with the Driver Compressor Tool.

I have problems with a Sweex 16-in-1 card reader: It makes use of a USBSys9x.SYS file as 2.0 Card Reader device.

THe Unofficial SP is only mentioned to be used on customer systems. Not in a corporate environment. Especially the SP is not for use on Mission Critical systems

OS = Speed factor. When programs will run faster I'll defenitely switch over Useless features I'll remove with nLite. Windows 98 SE is history

www.bootdisk.com At your service.

That's ridiculous. Please push forward towards Windows XP. Windows 95 doesn't even has support for HDD FAT32-partitions

erpdude8, don't p*** of Tihiy. Let's see what his patch does, see what Microsoft patch does and I will choose for one or other. However Windows 98 isn't my daily base system so I'll have to test it yet.

Tihiy. How do you know your patch is working? Simply copy-past hexcode will not do the trick I guess Did you test it? BTW, if Microsoft's new patch solves the issue I'll stick with that one for Dutch SP.

I actually never used Windows Me. Here the list of OS's I have used so far: Dos 5.0 Dos 6.22 / Windows 3.1 Windows 98 Windows 98SE Windows XP Pro SP1 Now I'm using Windows XP Pro SP2

Nice one. Gonna test it for use with Dutch SP
