    Is it time to checkout vista?

    in Windows Vista

    Posted

    I tried out 64bit windows and found it ,other than being buggy, no different from xp 32bit. Is vista worth trying yet or am I to wait for the next leaked release. + what's the current best release ?

    my hardware is an x2 3800 7800gfx 1gig of ram on nf4 with a sb-xfi. So would i have any joy on the driver front and will i get all the fancy vista transperancy .etc effects?

    thanks,

    Program Files & Program Files 64?

    in Windows XP 64 Bit Edition

    Posted

    I've just installed winxp 64bit and i set my program files location to be on d: but only for my 64bit programs. anyone know what the winsif command for setting the 32bit programs location?

    On a side note when i first installed the system my unattended disk somehow corrupted my d: partition and i had to reformat it. good things i had it backed up but usually you can just install safe in the knowledge that only c: will be touched. oh well.

    how to integrate of sp5.1

    in Hotstream

    Posted

    I'm trying to create a win2k cd with this sp5.1 integrated. When i run the exe it does extract a load of files to a d:\something\i386 , do i just copy these into my win2ksource\i386 directory? + can i use this hotfix with nlite? Do i add it as a hotfix or servicepack?

    cheers.

    long boot up

    in XPCREATE

    Posted

    i've now got a strange problem with my xpcreate cd using the august version and all the current hotfixes. The windows logo stage of bootup takes 40 seconds and when installing i get an error that xpctfl104.exe and 105.exe upgrade patch cannot be installed because program is missing. Has anyone else experienced this?

    Registry Tweaks Pt 3

    in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003

    Posted · Edited by gilesw

    I've split the tweaks into 2 files. might be of use to someone, i've corrected a few things too added all to the changelog.

    tested both files. safever and powerver.

    just rename the files to .reg and run

    i've found some more duplicates!

    moved 8.3 dos filename to power.

    sorted cmd enhancements

    changed recommended notepad replacement to scite, same core really

    2 issues with xpcreate august 18th

    in XPCREATE

    Posted

    1. If you get file cannot be accessed at the start of the xpcreate process disable your antivirus. (nod32 caused this problem with me)

    2. Hotfixes aren't integrated unless you edit xpcreate.cmd

    replace CALL XPCPRVAR by CALL :SETVARS

    remove CALL XPCTVARS

    ---------------

    attached version of xpcreate.cmd with changes

    great work gm , i still prefer xpcreate to xplite :)

    I just add bts's lan driverpack to the drivers\net folder of bart pe... It contains practically all the lan drivers for xp. I don't know whether bartpe parses down all the folder levels but i've never had it not be able to find a lan driver.
