  1. It is certainly possible. One way to do it is to create a custom svchost.exe that doesn't link to any rpcrt4.dll functions, since the audio stack (audiosrv.dll) needs svchost.exe to be able to run as a service, and svchost.exe depends on RPCSS. The less realistic way of doing it is to completely redesign the audio stack to run as an EXE file instead of a DLL.

    If you don't have any programming skills at all, the simplest solution is to switch to Windows 2000, which has the audio service built into the Win32 subsystem.

  2. No need for you to run a RAM divider as neither your CPU or memory is overclocked. Since PC2700 runs at 166MHz (333MHz), and your processor also runs at 166MHz (166x13), then you're using the optimal 1:1 RAM to FSB ratio.

  3. What's even more interesting is that it's the first link that works.

    The link (hxxp://rearms.net/spurm/?dude44_ recommended that you don't click it) has the referrer information in it, so that whoever sent the spam can attempt profit. Now if anyone has the courage (or the h@x0ring skills) to ask the company for their email address or something, maybe we can flood them back with spam.

    And here's the WHOIS info: http://www.whois.net/whois.cgi2?d=rearms.net

  4. Every time you hack into the kernel, there's a chance that you might mess something up. You won't know for sure until a problem actually arises, since the Windows kernel is so complex.

  5. But for external hard drives (USB/Firewire), doesn't it still connect to an IDE cable inside of the HD case, which is then converted to a USB/Firewire signal and transmitted to the computer?

    And regardless of what it actually is, I think the computer views the SATA controller as an IDE one, because if I try to remove the drivers for IDE, then my computer BSOD's with 0x7B (boot device error).

    I guess the question is, can you still boot from an external HD if you remove the IDE drivers.

  6. I haven't seen MS complain when people distribute XP icons, but most of the Vista icon packs I've seen have been taken down at MS's request, so I'm not too sure XPero will be able make a Vistaize. And if he does, maybe he could ask Martin L to change his name to Vistaero :P.
