More speedup oriented tweaks (of different kinds - not only registry). Detailed description of services (maybe with presets ready to use).

"i only have 1 hard drive." Me too... And I made all accoriding to post I mentioned and all works great.

Your DFI mobo have nvidia chipset... so... you have to integrate nv drivers: "Integration of nVRaid drivers into XP, W2k and W2k3 (32-bit), new and easy method, that works" http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...0&hl=nvidia Try to search a little next time, as it is already known (and solved) problem.

Thank you very much Nuhi! Excellent piece of software! PS What about more performance related tweaks (all kind) in future? Just a sugestion...

Thank you for posts! Looks like after extended search I finally found the reason! It was one of the memory bone - 256 MB - after removing it no crashes (till now) at all. What is really strange Memtest86 3.2 did not show any errors*. :\ Is that possible at all?! :/ What testing soft for RAM would you suggest? BTW - I did Knoppix test also and of course got errors. So my problem was in fact hardware nature. Hope this is only broken 256 MB of RAM and nothing more. Take care! ---- * Or test was too short. I will make Test 9 [bit fade test, 90 min, 2 patterns] too - maybe this will be negative. Also I'll plan to test only this 256MB, non working RAM module. EDITED: Last night I made 29 passes of std tests and got no error! Really confused. WTH!?

BTW Maybe you know good application for removing unused/old/corrupted etc drivers? Something that will clean system from all this not needed drivers, which sometimes makes serious unstable in XP.

Well, Yes, I had this TV tuner... Sold it not so long ago... (But before new hdd and don't remember BSOD or errors - maybe something like conflict or so with hdd "drivers" - just speculating) I didn't uninstall anything related to this card... Maybe that is the reason... Hope so. It sounds quite probably! Will try to remove all app and drivers of this Leadtek... And will tell you... Thanks for support.

I thought it is because overheating of my graphic card (It was nearly the same period...) I've changed cooler - nothing... Hmmm - (about - i don't remember) when this start to happen I also added new HDD* (Maxtor 250 GB - now removed) *And instaled on this disc brand new nlited system - hmm maybe that is the reason - 250 GB Maxtor or rather their "drivers" which still exist in system; but I didn't installed any special drivers for this HDD. Also I started to use 512 Pqi pen drive (not installed any soft from this) and added NEC USB pci card (removed now)... Problems persist with or without usb stick/usb controller... And drivers for both are XP native... I'll try this Knoppix method - will see if it crash too or not... Thank you for changeing topic - I didn't read rules... :| As for other errors: only what I noticed on paper: 8x80000003 - win error - exception breakpoint (popup during game) wf2kvcap.sys - from BSOD Also... something like this, during browsing with Opera... Error in Opera Also get "memory could not be write" sometimes instead of "read".

Hi, I noticed random errors on my XP. Don't know what can cause it. I found few similar threads on MSFN forums but no solution or even real explain why this may happen. :| I've tested memory with memtest, i removed almost all unneded thing from comp (as USB card, 2nd hdd), I've changed places of my two RAM modules etc etc. I even installed 2nd instantion of XP on 2nd disc (before remove). Still the same. Errors without reason. Sometimes I can work relative long time, sometimes have crash after logon. Can't find repetitive reason... Please advice what more, and how could I test/remove/do. If you want to help me, you may also look at those threads: (but no solution, or even final word from owners - but I feel mysterious reason was the same...) http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?act=Se...e=%2B0x0000008E

I've read it is possible on XP after SP2. But it is not working. How to enable this feature?!

I've read it is. With XP SP2... But how to enable it?

1. What about in next x-pize release ability to make your own personal set of icons to replace and/or to be replaced?! That would be awesome! Choice what to do! And how Win will look! As I like MacOs black&white icons I could make set... If Xpize just 'reshacking' files than it should be to do... Am I right? 2. Hope Xpize is smart program and patching only files that are present in Windows (coz of Nlited XP or something else) and have no problems with absences... 3. What happened if next SP, hotfix or patch will change some files? Can we Xpize them again? Are they new ones from hotfix?? I hope! What do you think about pt. 1?

"It was language dependant and it didnt get many good critics." Because of? I'm just curious. Because language dependant, or something else? I found it very usefull and good looking clock...

Thank you! Was looking for this! Works perfect with classic win too!

Hi, Are you talking about clock like this white? Well... Looking for this too! How to install it? Notice I do not use theme service... :/ Just pure windows classic look. Is there possible to use it? (Bottom clock is mine)

Thanks again for ideas. I'll try with Regmon & Filemon and will look what files was altered. Well - finally I found which aplication make this patch! It is called "Patch Maker" from Clickteam company. http://www.clickteam.com/English/index.php http://www.clickteam.com/English/patch_maker.htm Program (really tiny) make installers/patchers and do it very well... It use some kind of compression (unfortunately it is not public known as I understood on their forum) + its exe can be highly restricted (about checking existing files, paths etc). Dunno nothing about command line - maybe there is syntax for force unpack. The worst is for me, as they mention - their program can change only part of patched file. And in that case files are useless for my purpose... But maybe devteams not using this ability. Dunno. Have to check this, but can only when unpack this patch. And - as I'm not deep into those things too - I was prolly misunderstand before. By unpack I mean only files which are in patcher. All I want is to get all those files (some tga pictures, cfg, txt etc) that are packed into installer. Nothing more. I'm not reverse engineer or something and my knowledge is really poor. Well - if u want to try yourself and help me, than please try to get files which are packed inside this file: http://patches.ubi.com/silent_hunter_3/sil...vd_1.3_emea.exe it is 15,5 MB

Thank you for tip! Will try it for sure and looks this tool can help! I want to unpack patch for "Silent Hunter III" game which is made with this unknown 'yellow icon installer'. ) As patch not leave even short log - unpack is what I need to see what is inside - just to make simply uninstaller for patch. I knew you know the answer on this forum! Thanks again totoymola. I put icon as screenshot too. Edit: I test it with with PEiD and get Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 [Overlay]. Hmmm how to interpret it? How unpack?

As in attachment. Thanks for support! 800.ico

like on pic... Do u know how to do that, or better - where to find SP2 ready ntosrnl.exe like this? i found this here: macos_boot ATTENTION: THIS ONE IS NOT FOR SP2!!! unfortunately author's e-mail not working... mb u know guy called 'senvient' I like this bootscreen and want to have it in my 'unattended SP2 XP' project pic [well not too good to see but hope u know what i mean] here: edited: in MacOS there is something like that:
