Yep, the NEW Windows 7 bootsect.exe, UNLIKE the Vista one, can "touch" the MBR, but with the /mbr switch, NOT with the OLD (Longhorn) /fixmbr Though I wonder why there is this: Last time I checked computer worked with binary, things are either 0 or 1, On or Off, work or don't work..... Should it be not clear, IN VISTA: Bootsect.exe Modifies the Bootsector Not the MBR!! http://neosmart.net/blog/2007/bootsectexe-...or-not-the-mbr/ VISTA: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library...177(WS.10).aspx WINDOWS 7: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library...577(WS.10).aspx BUT: A very good example of how things are properly documented and changes are clearly highlighted. There may be a way out in the future : http://www.physorg.com/news182595455.html Yep, a really nice lapsus calami ... lapsus clavi ... lapsus Freudiani : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapsus jaclaz

No matter if they work or not, DO NOT use them , use the first one: one single set of double quotes wrapping around the WHOLE path\exe. SYNTAX is there to be respected, not "invented", the first "wrong" example works only because you do not have a space in \Desktop\some.exe and the second (the one with the odd double quote) only works because of a "parsing defect" of the command interpreter, don't trust it. Third is pointless, it only adds to extra unneeded characters. jaclaz

START often needs a "title" to work: http://ss64.com/nt/start.html If there is a space in the path to the command, it must be enclosed in double quotes. Check if userprofile is defined I.E:: SET USERPROFILE PAUSE START "Window Title" "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\some.exe" jaclaz

I added this to the txtsetup.sif and after ending up by the setup-error. I tryed to run it in the cmd. But it shows nothing but a empty line. Are there any parameters i can use? I don't understand the Chines/Japanes-symbols No, it's a "silent tool". Read the referenced thread. Try running dosdev before and after using showdrive ot mountstorePE: http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?...c=10169&hl= jaclaz

WHICH threads? WHERE? bootsext.exe And no, even bootsect.exe won't work. http://neosmart.net/blog/2007/bootsectexe-...or-not-the-mbr/ You can use MBRFIX allright, however: http://www.sysint.no/nedlasting/mbrfix.htm jaclaz

D@mn, it seems like I am not allowed in the society for US$79, I also tried to bribe them with another 100 bucks , but nothing , they keep saying that the problem with my result of 144 is the little "-" sign in front of it..... jaclaz

Some Toshiba's (cannot say if that model) do suffer from a problem of connection between motherboard/videocard and display (the cable is simply a slightly bit too short and can make a loose contact). Can you try with an external VGA display and see if it behaves the same? Usually all it is needed is to remove the little cover between keyboard and scrren hinges and take out/re-seat connector: http://www.paulstravelpictures.com/Toshiba...uide/index.html http://www.paulstravelpictures.com/Toshiba...-Guide-042.html http://www.paulstravelpictures.com/Toshiba...-Guide-043.html http://www.paulstravelpictures.com/Toshiba...-Guide-044.html http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/53660-...re-repair-guide Also sometimes the microswitch that turns screen on/off gets stuck. jaclaz

Check if this works: http://www.msfn.org/board/solution-seagate...-page-2093.html (if the cable is that one, of course) From other experiences with Nokia software, it's a toughie and it is very difficult to really uninstall it, it may be faster if you could try the linked to driver on a PC to which Nokia software was never installed. jaclaz

Yes, the problem is that there many versions of the "real/original" Nokia cables and countless versions of "fake/compatible" ones. If you buy a "real" TTL converter (and read the specs ) you have something that is meant to do this work, if you get a CA-42 it may be good or it may not, and you have no way to know in advance. My two cents (already spent several times): http://www.msfn.org/board/solution-seagate...-page-1691.html jaclaz

Simply that everyone has to find "his own" way and use whatever he sees fit for his particular needs. "Newer" is not ALWAYS "better", "more features" are pointless if you don't use them. On the contrary, if you have a need for a feature that is missing in whatever you are using, and the new version has it, do upgrade. I.E. I was just trying to point out that in your sentence: the "so" is not an "absolute and always meaningful" logical consequence: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_consequence (the fact that it might be true in this particular case doesn't mean it is always true) As well, most of the talks here are just personal opinions, the topic being Galahs needing or not to update an app he does not use because of the recent "insecurities" found. I personally find unlikely that Galahs is exposed or "more" exposed because he DOES NOT USE a previus version of IE than he would be by NOT USING a more recent version, other members have a different opinion and suggest to update to IE8 anyway. Both ideas seem like plausible , as it seems to me there is no definite "absolutely valid" answer, and it's up to Galahs to choose what to do. jaclaz

It is possible that a sensor for the motor being up and running is malfunctioning, but the only thing you can do is to check and re-check the connections, AFAIK. The contacts may have been "flatted down" when inserting the card or strip of plastic. See report by beinthemiddle here: http://forum.hddguru.com/tutorial-resolve-...t11040-160.html jaclaz

Another attempt. Try using this example file (editing of course the setting you wish to have BUT without adding any section - and commenting out the ISA card entries): http://www.intel.com/support/network/adapt...b/cs-008268.htm and or double and triple check with this FULLY COMMENTED Windows 95 MSBATCH.INF: http://www.xs4all.nl/~rjnoe/0/pc/soft/win/setup/msbt95a.txt Double check these, too: http://www.uv.tietgen.dk/Staff/Mlha/PC/Soft/WIN/95/setup.htm http://www.uv.tietgen.dk/Staff/Mlha/PC/Sof.../95/msbatch.htm jaclaz

I guess that introducing the concept of "good enough computing" is pointless ....

@kenppy As said on NT based OS .bat or .cmd is the same, .bat is considered "outdated" and .cmsd is advised, this is because NT based systems do execute BOTH .bat and.cmd whilst DOS/9x/Me systems ONLY execute.bat files. Since the syntax can be different it's a form of "security" setting that avoids a batch file created for NT systems to run on 9x/Me ones. MrJinje has kindly explicited , adapting the procedure to your case, what you should have found by yourself had you read the links I gave you. Basically in the Registry there are settings for the "riight click" or "context menu" for each "kind" of object, among which the "Folder" one, that can be customized. What the procedure you described did in XP was simply that of adding this settings in the Registry. The links I gave you explain the basics and a small program that should replicate the behaviour. What MrJinje posted is a way to have these settings entered in the Registry by using a .reg file that you can "merge" to the Registry. Another app is Wassociate: http://www.xs4all.nl/~wstudios/Associate/index.html (though cannot say it works with 7, it's site and help further explain the way this associations work) A small note: a batch file by default can "index" only 9 parameters passed to it: %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 thus should for any reason the folder you have be "nested" in a path with more than 8 spaces, like: C:\My Programs\whatever main program\the specific program title\data files\main data directory\ the original batch won't work. By using %* instead you get ALL parameters. The added /D to the CD command allows to change Drive, without it the original batch will work only if the directory is on current drive. jaclaz

I wouldn't "count" on it, though. No need to close anything, we know it's solved, but people may want to add something useful in future or ask questions about the procedures you followed. jaclaz

I would guess we are talking about RYU81's one... jaclaz

Mind you ONLY my personal view on your program/idea, which most probably is very good , but I simply cannot bear it. I am speechless , and obviously . I hadn't thought that Rule #13 was so flexible. And anyway: it looks too much like BIG BROTHER to me. And "Affiliate" marketing.... jaclaz

Just to add some fuel and revive this otherwise self-extinguishing fire : http://www.jsware.net/jsware/iewacky.php5 jaclaz

I guess that what Yzöwl was saying is that .bat files are a "historical" remnant of DOS/Win9x, since NT batch scripts use a "better" engine (cmd.exe instead of command.com) and should (though not compulsory) use the .cmd extension. The snippet you posted does not make much sense (to me at least), what is the scope of the CD %1 %2 etc? to get a directory name including spaces? The DEL command when used in a batch does NOT need for confirmation so the whole point of feeding to it through ECHO a "y" is pointless. I would write this: as CD /D %* FOR %%? IN ( .crc. .log. .m_p. .ger. .inf. .lst. .log .plt .idx .tst ) DO DEL *%%?* If I get it right you want to add it to a contextual menu for the object "Folder" or am I mistaken? I think that on 7 the add a context menu entry in Registry hasn't changed: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/appendmenu.aspx http://windowsxp.mvps.org/context_folders.htm jaclaz

That's good , as I also don't believe myself, though you found a rather unpolite way to express it. The whole point of the "unsure" emoticon was that I wasn't and am not really sure about it. Yep, but he said that here: http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=1508 on Feb 22 2007, a little less than 3 (three) years ago, and he disappeared since. He was last "seen" on Jul 7 2007: http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?...ic=2566&hl= So, IF it is possible (unlike all known previous attempts) to add the Windows 98 SHELL32.DLL and EXPLORER.EXE WITHOUT adding of the IE bloat, noone - exception made for the mere declaration of intents by Winimize you quoted - seems like having attempted it AFAIK. Does it sound better like this? jaclaz

Your report is a bit "confused/confusing", but thanks for it. You seem to fail to attribute the right "focus" of the problem: it has NOTHING to do with the actual sticks, it is all about the way a given motherboard BIOS behaves. In other works the SAME stick "normally" partitioned/formatted with, say, the HP utility may boot allright on 99 motherboards and fail on the 100th. Well, here you missed a point, by definition jaclaz is always right , some motherboards will have the "switch" at 512 Kb, some at 1 Gb, some at 2 Gb some may not have it completely. Cheers. jaclaz

Good to know we have yet another happy bunny, jaclaz

NO, but I don't think anyone even attempted it. I mean, the point of Mindows is to create a Minimal 9x, if you use the 98 shell, you'll also have IE and all the bloat coming with it. While making it a "full" 98 is out of the scope, maybe it is possible to only selectively make a particular app requiring Win98 shell32.dll work. Something like what was done by FDV for NT/2K: http://www.msfn.org/board/nt4-explorer-xp-t138242.html only the other way around. jaclaz
