    Stop Code 124

    in Hardware Hangout

    Posted

    Figured it out... it was the CPU.

    My wife and I have the same system setup (It's how I convinced her to let me have mine).

    I went ahead and switched our CPUs and her system started having the issues.

    Thanks anyhow... I need to RMA this Intel CPU.

    Stop Code 124

    I'm Blue Screening with Stop Code 124. Here's what I've done:

    1. CLEAN installs of XP and Vista.

    2. Turned off "extras" in the BIOS like cache.

    3. Replaced the motherboard (Through BFG's RMA)

    4. Replaced memory (with wife's)

    5. Replaced video card (with wife's)

    6. Replaced power supply

    Would a bad CPU cause this issue? All temps and voltages are dead on in the BIOS and with Everest. This is driving me nuts.

    Can I use vLite to install a fresh install using the Vista upgrade DVD

    in vLite

    Posted

    Yes, you can.

    Microsoft left a loophole in the Upgrade version of their product which works like this:

    1. Boot to your DvD.

    2. When asked for your Product Key do NOT enter it. It will ask you to verify that you're not inputting your Key. Again, tell it no.

    3. Choose Custom Install.

    4. Now do a clean install of Vista.

    5. Once the clean install is complete and you're at your desktop for the first time run the install AGAIN from within Vista. This time, input your Product Key and choose the Upgrade install option.

    This takes a while, but it works great.

    Ah! Duh... that's right. You just allow his pack integrations with your program. heh.

    I was using Nlite for so long with those packs I just made the connection between them straight to you. Sorry, Bashraat!!

    Anyhow, this guy seems to be working hard to collect usable drivers so I figure it's a good one-stop-shop for getting them

    Firefox 2

    in Application Installs

    Posted

    I take it you're not used to paying attention in class?

    This isn't a 1-file install. It's two. One installs Firefox. Therefore, if Firefox upgrades, you can install the newer version. The SECOND file (Which I described how to make, and which works for you regardless of what you name your account) is what installs ALL of your settings.

    Firefox 2

    in Application Installs

    Posted · Edited by Nightlord

    This process requires the following files:

    (1) Official Firefox installation program.

    (2) 7Zip installed

    (3) My "install.7z" file (attached) which should contain: 7sZ.sfx; config.txt; install.cmd

    Step 1: Install Firefox 2.0

    Step 2: Install all your favorite Themes, Extentions and plug-ins. (Don't forget your media stuff like Flash, ect)

    Step 3: Get your setting exactly how you like them. This includes About:Config info, or Fasterfox settings.

    Step 4: Since this will make your settings work for anyone that installs this, don't forget to clear your bookmarks if you don't want to share them or get them right if you do.

    Step 5: Now close Firefox and go to this folder: C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR NAME\Application Data

    There should be a directory called Mozilla here. Do NOT go into the Mozilla directory. Stay in Application Data.

    Step 6: Place the install.cmd file here.

    Step 7: Now use 7zip to make a new archive called Mozilla.7z.

    Put the Mozilla folder and install.cmd in it.

    Step 8: Create a work directory. We'll use C:\work

    Step 9: Put Mozilla.7z, 7zS.sfx and config.txt in your C:\work directory.

    Step 10: Your C:\work folder should now have these files in it:

    Mozilla.7z

    7zS.sfx

    config.tx

    Step 12: Run this command:

    copy /b 7zS.sfx + config.txt + *.7z Profiles.exe

    That's it. From now on just:

    1: Either run the Firefox setup with /S for silent install, OR use the Nlite Cab integration method.

    2: Run your new profiles.exe file.

    This even saves your browser "design". IE: If you go to View->Toolbars->Customize and re-arrange stuff, it saves that too.

    Looking for global USER name paramter

    in Windows XP

    Posted · Edited by Nightlord

    Examples:

    %sleep%

    %appdata%

    In the appdata example, it marks YOUR appdata location:

    C:\Documents and Settings\NIGHTLORD\application data

    What I'm looking for is a global parameter of NIGHTLORD in the example above, but that pulls it for whoever is logged on.

    IE:

    If I type in this command and NIGHTLORD is logged on, it points to

    C:\Documents and Settings\NIGHTLORD

    but if Bob is logged in it points to

    C:\Documents and Settings\Bob

    Is there such a parameter?
