Odd, I have XP pro, up to date via Windows Update, and yet, my version string shows: Version 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.061030-0016 : Service Pack 2) Older then yours, AlYum, go figure...

Viewsonic makes good monitors at a good price.

WUD works at it's best side-by-side with nLite or HFSLIP. There is no "order of updates" in nLite since it uses a direct integration method. Meaning, none of the updates are installed in the traditional manner, the source files of the XP installation are replaced with the ones found within the updates. HFSLIP still requires you to collect the actual patch files yourself, another place where WUD is useful. WUD was not meant to replace RyanVM, which by the way, does a phenomal job. Unforunately, RyanVM only releases update packs for Windows XP x86 English, so anyone using another language of XP or any other OS that WUD supports can't use RyanVM. WSUS is only useful in corporate or small business environments. A home user will not use WSUS. WUD's purpose is NOT to bypass WGA. Many large updates, such as Service Pack 2, Windows Media Player 11 and Internet Explorer 7 all have WGA checks built into them which WUD does not modify. I had thought of perhaps integrating a auto-update client into WUD, in a style similar to AutoPatcherXP, however, I don't quite have enough information to be able to get a proper client setup.

So each UL would have it's own settings... that's not a bad idea at all... I like it.

That's the one. I personally go for OCZ myself.

WUD 2.24 will work will all current ULs.

My two cents... Forget about the wrist wrap. All you need is to touch the case to remove any possible static. Unless you're building your computer on shaggy carpet, it's unlikely to be an issue. I would personally suggest a Pioneer DVR-111D as your DVD-/+RW, but that's just my opinion.

Depends what you want to do with them. They're very fast boards, but the quality can be lacking.

In the Unattended section of nLite (from as far back as I can remember, including version 1.3), the Organization box does not allow you to enter a / character, even though it IS valid in the WINNT.SIF file. I like to put N/A for the organization, which nLite won't allow and requires me to manually edit the WINNT.SIF after. / is valid in all languages of XP and all versions, so I need no reason for a restriction on that character.

PM me if you still have a problem after re-installing it from the website.

I'm glad you guys got to finally enjoy the XP Super Tweaker. Merry Christmas

Wow... who thought such a small app could be so difficult to get to run! I've repackaged the installer again, this time I included the dependency... let me know if it fixes the crash...

I updated the program to fix whatever error you could have had. Let me know if the new build works for you.

If you're running a firewall, try disabling your firewall. Some firewalls have the unfortunate effect of disabling referrers...

XP Super Tweaker In honor of this holiday season, I thought I'd release my newest utility. You can download it from the program files section of http://wud.jcarle.com/ Take a look, try it out! Let me know what you guys think!

It was actually called just that, 8-bit ISA...

If it's a final release, and not the beta one, it should work fine.

glocK_94: All I've seen you do so far is rant and rave without any solid evidence or facts to support anything you've said. Most of what you've said is your own personal opinion without anyone or anything to support it. Most of what you've said is wrong, misguided and a plain old waste of time. The .NET framework, which you claim no one installs, has a very very high adoption rate amongst people running Windows. So much so, that 3rd party frameworks have been in development to allow .NET applications to run on other platforms such as Linux, Solaris and Mac OS. Anyone who plays games on a Windows platform has DirectX installed. Do game users whine and complain because they have to install or update DirectX to be able to play the game they want to play? Nope. Anyone who is going to want to keep using Windows in the future is going to have no choice to install the .NET framework to be able to run applications in the future. The last few members of the small pointless resistance against the .NET framework, such as yourself, will eventually forget all about the .NET framework just like people have about DirectX. By the way, the .NET framework takes less time to download and install then it does to update a machine to service pack 2. Oh and unless you have a pirated copy of Windows XP, I don't know anyone who hasn't updated to service pack 2. But lest we forget, people whined and complained about that too. At the beginning of this discussion, I wouldn't have classified you as an id***, now I do. Why? Because of your pointless arguing, you're closed-mindedness and your refusal to accept that there are other opinions that count other then yours. Oh and don't forget, you still haven't brought a single valid point to this discussion. And yes, you're not as knowledged as myself, crahak or even LLXX. You're an average user who simply doesn't have the understanding of the topic at hand. At least LLXX, even if we agree to disagree with her, has an understanding of what programming really involves. Out of the thousands of MSFN users, very very few are actual well versed programmers. It's clearly visible when a straight forward programming question is posted in the programming sub-forum and no one can come up with an answer. Are MSFN users idiots? Hell no, but they're still not programmers. Just like I'm not a doctor, or a biologist, or anything else I'm not. As for the .NET framework being bloat? You obviously don't understand the benefits that it brings to counter just that. If you had any programming knowledge whatsoever, you would have already seen the advantages without having had to do much research. The .NET framework uses the same approach as programmers have done for years with modules, DLLs, and global functions. Seperating repeatable code into a globally available resource to be re-used from application to application. This time, the advantage comes one step further as it doesn't have to be included within each of the executables, it's globally available within the framework. So if the .NET framework is bloat, then so is DirectX and OpenGL, hell even the Win32 API is bloat by your standards. What the hell are you doing using Windows at all?

The ATI USB TV Tuner will do the job for you.

I agree with crahak. Just because someone knows how to re-install windows or make some changes to the registry does not make them a programmer. It's only normal to be able to PROPERLY discuss issues at hand when it comes to programming that knowledge and understanding of programming is required. It's the same reason why I would never enter a debate regarding the current state of the global economy because I'm simply not informed on the matter. Why in the world would a company who's obviously writing software for revenue WANT to make it's programs unneccesarily bigger? It doesn't make sense. The larger the program the more it costs in media and hosting bandwidth to sell it's program, which means less end revenue. This thread has obviously flown way above your head and you've completely missed the point. Not to mention, for a heavily debated topic, this is one thread where I have seen the least flaming so far...

View New Posts is back up to 75 per page, but there's something really messed up now... It's like the posts roll over from one page to the next... Say you see a post titled "Mobo issues" on page 1, well when you click on page 2, you'll see it there too, and again on page 3...

I think those were the BBs.I have a pair of WD1200JB and they've been fine for 2 years of continuous operation. Yea, BB would be a 2MB cache drive. Unfortunately, it seems that the 2MB drives were not really up to be the most reliable drives. Personally, I've only ever bought 8MB drives for that reason.

So what you're saying is that you're using a compiler that can't even optimize code for Pentium IIIs? Considering the compiler would have no clue on what SSE is (released in 1999). So your compiler has no way to optimize for SSE, SSE2, SSE3... knowing that, I think without even benchmarking anything, I'm sure the author's code would be faster then yours, regardless of binary size.

In the unattended section of nLite you can customize your TCP/IP settings for your network adapter and you can input all those things there.

@crahak: You don't happen to remember which drives you had problems with? 120GB? 2MB cache? I do remember there being issues with the 120GB and unrelatedly that 2MB drives were rebranded maxtors...
