Yup... thanks to Pantharen, I got this great picture... I laughed so hard when I first saw this...

Well, you can get the RunOnceEx maker program. It'll help you get all the application installs in there. As for copying files, you shouldn't need to. You can simply place the files in their correct location in the $OEM$ folders and you should be set. For example: $OEM$\$Progs\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\ Would refer to: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\ Just find the right location in the $OEM$ folders for the files that you would otherwise copy. They'll get copied over in the intial stages of installation. And next time use code tags, or even better codebox tags. It makes it a lot easier for us to read and keeps things clean. (Perhaps you could edit your post above to fix this...) Hope this helps and welcome to MSFN! Cheers!

^^^ This is one smart, smart man... learn from him. And, no you shouldnt' get flamed for saying that XP boots slower than 98. It's true. Anyone who says otherwise should take another test with proper drivers installed on both OSes. The stability of XP far outweighs the cost of a little speed.

Read up on the forum rules and ettiquette. Coming Etiquette This shouldn't even be in the WindowsXP section either...

New version or old? I've left my console on for 2 days once by accident. I had paused an endurance race in GT3 and then forgot about it. When I came back, it was perfectly fine! I finished the race of course...

^^^^^ lmao!!!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Why is it ? To complete 100% of the game, you have to complete 100%...

Wow.. you got your Cancermeleon to evolve! Cool!

The Airport Extreme from Apple will let you do this through iTunes. It's a bit pricey, but it'll do the trick.

Ok, I updated my sig with the code MartinL provided.

I'd have to say Microsoft Office 2003. Outlook 2003 is just phenomenal, and it integrates with PDA software very easily.

hehe... I've done the same thing when playing games... leaning always helps!

That's what separate partitions are for! My "My Documents" folder is actually a mounted partition, so if anything goes wrong, all the data is still there.

It's always recommended to backup your data before you partition your drives. However, as markw above, I've never run into troubles with PartitionMagic. If the operation completes successfully, your files will be intact without any errors.

You could try making a WinPE disk with AntiVir installed on it. That way, you'd have access to the computer and be able to scan for viruses.

That's fairly old news... it was on FrontPage a couple of weeks ago...

Did this happen all of a sudden? or did you change a setting or install/uninstall software? Were you having any other problems with the computer before this happened?

Umm... I'll say that XP is superior anyday. Windows98 still uses shared memory. This means that the following code would bring down the entire computer: while(1) { *( (char *) random() ) = 62; } If you don't understand C/C++, the code basically picks a random byte of memory and assigns the value 62 to it... forever, until the program is killed or the computer crashes. Chances are you'd never be able to react quickly enough to stop it though. The driver support in Win98 is horrible as well... ever tried using a simple USB flash drive in Win98? The "plug-and-play" device requires drivers... And finally... try leaving your Win98 machine running for more than a week... it'll slow to a crawl in no time flat. If you're saying that Win98 is better than XP because scanning with Spybot is quicker in 98, then you've seriously gotta read up on how things work!

It will work with any service pack. The only catch is that the file must be copied from the computer that the UACD is being used with.

So this means that Bram Cohen is responsible for the illegitimate uses of Bit Torrent? Come on... this is just rediculous. The courts have far too much power in the States...

Ok now I'm a bit confused... maybe I should wait until the big boss (aka xper) makes a decision, because gamehead200 seems to think that both the links have to go, whereas MartinL gave me the code for my sig that still has me as the affiliate for Opera (which is the one I thought would cause more problems). By the way... I've updated my sig as MartinL suggested.

I think I'm following your thinking here. I can understand the basis for comparing the track record of programs, but in the end, what we have on the market today is what really matters. If IE6 has been around for several years, but that also means that Microsoft has had several years to patch any security flaws that have come up over the years (See here for an example of a highly critical unpatched vulnerability for IE from 2003). If someone were to decide to use a browser that used to have several flaws, but doesn't anymore because the vendors/developers fixed the flaws, would that really be an issue? I agree with you that a lot of the Firefox hype has been made by the public, and not the Mozilla group. It's also interesting how many of the "new and innovative" features of Firefox have been around in other browsers for quite some time now. [offtopic] As for the security of OSes, I agree with you that Linux is not as bulletproof as some people make it seem. The only difference here is that no hacker would target Linux computers because it simply wouldn't make a big difference to everyday life. [/offtopic]

You can get your programs to install as normally after the windows install. All you need is to omit the switches. I'd suggest using RunOnceEx for this kind of method. It will run through your list of programs and whatever you don't want, simply "Cancel" the installation. Hope this helps!

Yes, the command window defaults to C:\. The instructions on this are found here. *a few minutes later* Yup... changing the command window starting directory to the default fixed the trick. Now I get to play with your program! Maybe a future release could get around this problem? EDIT After some playing around, I may have found a bug... I choose to remove everything except for the Toolkit, but when I install it, I get the Nero Burning ROM, and Nero Xpress, on top of the Toolkit. Any ideas?

So where does that put me? I'm still confused on this, since it's not me trying to make money or sell stuff. The Frog Plague is more of a joke than a trade program, but the Opera affiliate link has the potential to get Opera some revenue... Does that mean the Opera affiliate links have to go? I'm just trying to get clarification to follow the rules. Thanks!
