    themes preview got broken

    in Windows 7

    Posted · Edited by vinifera

    in last 7 days, when I do rclick on desktop and personalize

    all my themes saved (about 15 of them) do not show now preview of wallpaper (thumb) there

    they are all black yet they work on change...

    what can cause this ?

    scrap that

    seems win7 needs more than 400 MB free space to show preview of this O_o

    MS declares gadgets a security flaw

    in Windows 7

    Posted · Edited by vinifera

    Microsoft is announcing the availability of an automated Microsoft Fix it solution that disables the Windows Sidebar and Gadgets on supported editions of Windows Vista and Windows 7

    anyone find this funny after so many years ?

    one of crown features of NT 6 just got dumped on, or should I say dumped off -_-

    decomponentize winME

    in Windows 9x/ME

    Posted · Edited by vinifera

    don't shoot me for this :P

    I'm sure there is no such a nice tool like nLite was, for WinME

    but is there any script or something for WinME that allows user to remove unwanted things safely ?

    to make it more less size ?

    Windows Search Not Finding Results

    in Windows XP

    Posted · Edited by vinifera

    why not use something far more faster and better ?

    a portable search, I'd recommend UltraSearch by JAM software, it reads directly from MFT, no indexing no long search...

    and its free :P

    if you run an old machine, then again, portable, free, from voidtools Everything search(er), tho this one indexes for database, but its indexing is fast

    PE for 9x ?

    in Windows 9x/ME

    Posted · Edited by vinifera

    is there some sort of "rescue CD" or PE like ERD for 9x/ME, but that can reckognise empty/raw/non formated hard disk

    and format it to FAT32 ?

    (don't tell me to use 98/ME boot cd, that one failed)

    in Windows 7

    Posted · Edited by vinifera

    I managed to find reg entry that enables that context menu back

    and indeed gadgets start to work then and sidebar.exe appears in task manager

    but again if i try to run it alone it wont start :P

    Questions to XP diehards :)

    in Windows XP

    Posted · Edited by vinifera

    after I upgraded PC specs, I had problems with XP, but I was a die hard user of XP

    made my custom installs exact the way I wanted

    with 7 I couldn't do so much except making it little lighter

    but overall 7 aint that bad if you remove some things like IE, WMP, .net 3.5 (too bad 2 cant be removed), useless indexing service, tweak WinSxS to minimum

    but on piece of crap like vista and 8 i wouldn't go dead

    sidebar dependencies ?

    in Windows 7

    Posted · Edited by vinifera

    nothing happens

    does this thing maybe need .net 3.5 to run ?

    (tho I'm not getting any error messages)

    regarding dependency walker

    it reports ieshims.dll that file cannot be found

    but i have it, even copied it to sidebar folder

    tho I do have IE feature "uninstalled" via programs and features

    sidebar dependencies ?

    in Windows 7

    Posted

    since i used rt7lite to customize my win7 install

    seems I removed sidebar support as well

    now I opened original install.wim and extracted back "sidebar" folder into program files

    and registered back with regsvr32 both sbdrop.dll and wlsrvc.dll

    but I can't run sidebar.exe itself

    it won't start at all

    any cure ?

    old restore points

    in Windows 7

    Posted

    1. yes i have disk cleanup, the cleaning restore points didn't help

    2. i tried with full permitions and all that, nothing happens

    :P

    think ill try via ERD commander then

    they don't take much space but are annoying to have something so old and useless :P

    old restore points

    in Windows 7

    Posted

    i have about 10 "folders" on my 2nd partition named like

    "_restore{38E91C9A-E678-4BD6-97F6-7A758759477C}" under D:\System Volume Information

    some date even from my years of using WinME (2003)

    some from XP (2007)

    and I see them using Everything searcher

    but I can't remove them

    I do have disabled sys restore all together on both partitions

    when I go to "explore" them via CMD, it reports "path not found"

    Unlocker can't remove them (even if they have no handle)

    I can't enter D:\System Volume Information via cmd as access is denied, thus any attrib can't be removed

    so what should I do ? :P

    is booting via PE only choice to remove them ?
