    Problems with SP3 Slipstream DVD and CD Key

    in Windows XP

    Posted

    Please nrever use any other software because this makes a mess during installation of xp. Even MS confirmed this. Use integrated switches to slipstream SP3.

    Please nrever spread bad or incorrect information... nLite does a better job at everything than MS could ever even imagine doing. Don't hate. In fact, the slipstream method MS recommends isn't even used for making a CD (since, obviously, MS never wants people to burn a Windows CD), it's used to "update" an "installation share". nLite does a better job at actually making it a CD.

    edit: That KB article you linked ISN'T EVEN RELATED to the post you wrote... but it's probably the solution to this problem... could you at least have said that instead of dissing nLite?

    OK, so to update this even more, I just looked on the nLite website, and as long as you are using at least v.1.4.5 you should be OK, as nLite claims the problem was fixed. Note that it says that if your using Vista as your host and your using an RTM version (aka "gold"/aka no service packs), you must slipstream SP2 first before slipstreaming SP3. If you've done all that and still have issues, you may want to check the nLite forum, or try to make the CD using an XP host.

    Well with 20 years experience in this field and a computer programmer at degree level. I have integrated SP3 into all XP discs with command line switches

    Original serial to SP1?

    If you bought the computer from a shop or on-line from a respectable company then you can install MS Vista service pack 1 on top of orginal operatiing system, without any problems at all. Only because they use there their key to install it and it activate it. :thumbup

    In response to nuhi comment you have to go through MS activation procedure before updating your system :thumbup

    BACKUP YOUR VISTA DRIVERS

    in Windows Vista

    Posted · Edited by Walchinc

    locate a folder called software distribution and inside that that one called download. All the files relating to your drivers will be that folder for your system :thumbup.

    Then copy all the files to your external system hard drive for a clean install :whistle:

    you can locate a file called setupp.ini and validate the code. Once you validate the code you can install MCE off a DVD/CD with a unattended script so it looks like XP Pro system :thumbup. The script will not locate disk 2 (refers to MCE components) B)

    Via two routers

    in Networks and the Internet

    Walchinc, i had that configuration before, but my wireless router(Netgear WGT 624)made troubles restartuing and losing internet connection all the time.That is probably becouse Livebox can also be wireless(if you put card in) and i dont use it -range is to small.

    Gamehead200, is crosover cable cable on which wires are mixed?Just to be clear, i am not network expert.And to connect Livebox on Netgears LAN port?

    Well looking at the specs of your your router your can have 4 ports and this means 1 for WAN and the rest for LAN connections, try to upgrade the firmwire on the router and see if that fixes the problem because of the majority of problems are software related. The new netgear software for wireless hardware devices causes windows xp log on/off problems

    If you buy an wireless card you could buy an router and change your existing router as an access point to interact with it. Configure the mac address to interact as a wireless network connectivity

    Like with me

    I have 2 routers in the house. because of the bottom room was block from all network access.

    Take off the network cable from the adsl modem and then plug it into one of ports on the wireless router. This is because of the ip addressing that different from the adsl modem and the router. Both your adsl modem and router have no map addressing which cannot communicate with other devices on the network except comms with the internet.

    ip address 192.168.1.11 which is dhcp addressing for the internet side from your adsl modem. It will change to 192.168.10.3 which represents as the next available ip address on the network on your wireless router :thumbup . Remember to turn off the firewall from both systems :blink:. Allocate a shared folder on each system.

    If there is only one ethernet port on the wireless router just buy a wireless card :thumbup

    Make sure the settings for the connection (IP and DNS) are set obtained automatically , so the system can allocate 192.168.10.3 B)

    How often do you reinstall?

    in The Poll Center

    Posted · Edited by Walchinc

    No re-installation on a monthly basis B) . I ghosted my pc to external media :D . Futhermore I have imaging software on a startup that recovers the system to a previous state (True Image) :thumbup

    I have 5 stage ghost images for activation, updates, drivers, utilities and applications :thumbup

    I reghost updates and install new updates and then reghost it back to external media.

    Always wait for the new service pack to re-install the operating system from scratch

    Do npt forget the xp regiistry patch (status bar and user Windows 200 style accounts)

    On a monthly basis i do a full blown udpate to see which KB's has changed from the previous months

    Re-installation procedures takes 35 mins but ghosting 7 mins same configuration :thumbup

    HOTFIXES: Windows XP SP2 & Windows 2000 SP4

    in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003

    Posted · Edited by Walchinc

    Beware that all the hotfixes will not be included in the SP3 because they will a few months behind developing/finalising the new service pack. Therefore, more update will be needed after intergrating SP3 installing it from the CD. It would be nice to include all the the software from MS site into SP3.

    Never install SP3 after installing Windows because of the registry and conflction of file version :realmad: . Just intergrade into the CD reformat the system and re-install it again. :thumbup I will waiting for admin SP3 version of Windows XP :whistle:

    Here are my August 2006 Updates Logs from MS site 3 hours of downloading with my laptop

    SP3 should be out on second semester 2007.

    Purchased MCE 2005 but it's not working

    in Windows XP Media Center Edition

    Posted · Edited by Walchinc

    Media Center 2005 does show as 2002 in system properties, as it is basically normal XP pro with add ons. Also, media center 2005 does not ship with Media Player 10. You need to update that yourself. I am sure you do have XP media Center 2005, it just has quirks

    Version 2k2 edition refers to the version release of xp (SP2), But media centre 2k5 has 2 disks and 2k4 only has one CD

    Media Player is already intergrated into Media Centre version of XP Pro 2005

    I purchased MCE 2005 from Tigerdirect. When I loaded the fisrt disk it asked for disk 2 installed it which I already. I then got it all loaded up and it says 2002 in my sys properties. Both disk also says 2005 on it. So I figured ok the 3rd disk would fix the problem. I tried to load it. I get an error that says must install net.framewor 1.1 and net.framework 1.1sp1. I did that. sys rebooted now. I then try to reinstall disk 3 labled MCE Updates for version 2005. That's as far as I can get. Why do my disk say 2005 but load as 2002. I also know that 2005 has a few different things like windows media 10 as vs my 9.

    Can someone please help me out. I have working on this for many hours and I'm ready to throw this pc.

    Have you use a script to install MCE 2005. I had no problems straight from the CDs but the script made a mess of it.
