I tested transferring a file without running a game and it used ~10-15% cpu. The game pauses when I alt+tab so I can't measure it while the game is running so I tried setting the games cpu priority to low and it worked. However this is not my ideal solution. I don't suppose anyone knows how to change the file sharing priority? It runs in the system process which can't be changed...

Yeah those are things that I thought about. The load on my HDDs is not the issue because after the game has loaded it rarely reads from the HDD anymore. For example, when hosting a LAN game my PC naturally has to load first and then the client PCs load after words. My HDD activity light seems to agree as well. However the CPU load could be the culprit. Perhaps 7 has a higher priority for games then it does for file sharing. Does anyone know how to change that? I might try giving the game a low priority and see if that effects it but I would rather only have to change the file sharing priority...

Since the RC version I have noticed that when a PC copies files from mine it goes slower while a game is running on mine then when I am at the desktop. I want other PCs to be able to load games from mine while I am playing and transfer files at full speed like I have been able to do using previous OSs. For example I can copy a disc image from my PC to another over GigE at about 120MB/s but while I am playing a game on my PC the same transfer only goes ~30MB/s. I have a C2D@3.8 and dual 640GB drives in software RAID0. Has anyone noticed this before or have a solution?

I just downloaded the Windows 7 WAIK too thinking it would work better... Are we certain it can't be used? and why?

Hey guys, I'm using windows xp and the latest 7-zip. The batch file did not put any icons on any of my zip files so I modified the script to point to "C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.dll" for the icons and it worked. Here is a copy of the modified script: SETLOCAL SET SC=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes SET Extn=001 7z arj bz2 cab chm cpio deb gz iso lzh nsis rar rpm tar z zip FOR %%j IN (%Extn%) DO ( REG ADD %SC%\.%%j /VE /D "7-Zip.%%j" /F REG ADD %SC%\7-Zip.%%j /VE /D "7z Archive" /F REG ADD %SC%\7-Zip.%%j\DefaultIcon /VE /D "\"%PROGRAMFILES%\7-Zip\7z.dll\"" /F REG ADD %SC%\7-Zip.%%j\shell\open\command /VE /D "\"%PROGRAMFILES%\7-Zip\7zFM.exe\" \"%%1\"" /F ) REG ADD %SC%\7-Zip.001\DefaultIcon /VE /D "\"%PROGRAMFILES%\7-Zip\7z.dll"" /F ENDLOCAL

I just discovered that the prefs.js that I used for Firefox 1.5 is different somehow then the one in Firefox 2 and it was just recreating it when I ran it for the first time. So I made a new prefs.js with Firefox 2 and it worked. Also, where is the setting to remove the bookmarks toolbar located? Thanks!

Hey gys, I've been using this script for a long time now and everything has run perfectly until I decided to use it to install Firefox 2 RC3. It seemed to install Firefox, the extensions, and the themes ok but it didn't copy over the default profile with my settings. Can we get an update for this so it works with Firefox 2? Also, the link Alphaz is talking about is still down.

Hey, I'm trying to install Gaim 2 beta 3 sliently on my disc with aspell spellchecking and everything installs but when i type a message theres no spell checking . How do I get this to work? Thanks!

Thanks edusnow but I just found out how to do a silent install from the 7-Zip web site. This is what i put incase anyone is wondering: ECHO. ECHO Installing 7-Zip 4.24 beta ECHO Please wait... start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\7z424.exe /S /D="%programfiles%\7-Zip\"

Thanks for the reply but your link goes to the application installs search page. Were you intending for me to search for my answer instead? Cus I tried searching and had trouble finding anything.

Does anyone know how to silently install 7-Zip through the start.cmd? Thanks!

Well, I put the v5 files into the I386 folder and it replaced some files and some wernt there. It defently did something cus i get the same error that I told you about on the first post Do I need the update for background intelligent transfer service which installes with v5 through the web?

OOPS! I misunderstood. Thoes files are actully in I386 but I did'nt put them there (which is what i thought you ment). So, acording to this post in the thread you talked about... ..all i do is copy thoes files from the "WebSetup" folder to the I386 folder replacing the ones in there already and it will install with V5?

NO THERE NOT. There in $OEM$\$1\install\WebSetup

I put them in $OEM$\$1\install\WebSetup for start.cmd to run. I'll never switch to SP2, it allways gives stupid popup warnings when you run programs and it changed too many menus for no reason. So, instead of replacing whatever file has V4 i should just put... rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 128 %SYSTEMDRIVE%\install\WebSetup\wusetup.inf ...in the start.cmd?

No, i just copied the folder to $OEM$\$1. Thats very helpfull, but they dont say what cab file to replace in I386. Can winrar compress to cab? I'm sorry, I thought i explaned that clear enouf on the first post.

Ya, I have all thoes in the "WebSetup" folder I copied which includes all these files. 38,434 cdm.cab 71,448 cdm.dll 94,035 iuengine.cab 185,624 iuengine.dll 149,656 wuapi.cab 7,865 wuapi.cat 420,632 wuapi.dll 393 wuapi.inf 40,856 wuau.adm 58,718 wuauclt.cab 113,944 wuauclt.exe 70,379 wuauclt1.cab 167,704 wuauclt1.exe 79,810 wuaucpl.cab 167,704 wuaucpl.cpl 510,450 wuaueng.cab 8,155 wuaueng.cat 1,081,112 wuaueng.dll 2,540 wuaueng.inf 97,135 wuaueng1.cab 7,865 wuaueng1.cat 186,136 wuaueng1.dll 408 wuaueng1.inf 73,873 wuauhelp.chm 14,195 wuauserv.cab 13,592 wuauserv.dll 63,586 wucltui.cab 7,865 wucltui.cat 118,552 wucltui.dll 403 wucltui.inf 7,314 wuident.cab 501 wuident.txt 22,863 wups.cab 7,865 wups.cat 39,704 wups.dll 388 wups.inf 15,094 wusetup.cab 12,617 wusetup.cat 9,696 wusetup.inf

Thanks Ryan but I dont want SP2, I want my cd to be only SP1 . Could you setup a stand alone V5 installer for me or tell me how to get it to work from your full update pack cab file?

I dont have that folder, i think that was for V4. V5 is all about the "C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution" folder

Hey gys, I'm trying to get the windows update v5 software to install from the "start.cmd" file so when you goto windows update, it dos'nt have to install any thing to see the avaiable updates. I'v tried copying the "WebSetup" folder from "C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution" (which i believe is the V5 software cus when it downloads and installs, that folder appears) and have "wuauclt.exe" (which seems to have the most activity) run from "start.cmd", but when I goto windows update, it jus waits for a while and then gives me an error and i'v tried restarting. Plz help me out gys! Thanks.
