  1. This morning, I started to download 5536. It is only my second build of Vista to ever use, so please keep that in mind.

    I downloaded it on Linux and copied it over to Windows using an ext(2/3) file system driver for XP. Copied over the ISO to Windows and created a VMWare Player vmx file using a utility I found and installed (because http://easyvmx.com is down). I loaded up VMWare. It got to the stage where it said 'Windows is loading files' and went through. When it got to the end, it stopped and nothing happened. I decided to download it again (luckily it still was up), thinking that the transfer to Windows messed it up. No luck still. Here is a screenshot:

    Anyone having this problem other than be? If so, any tips?

  2. I use xampp also; it doesn't even need you to be on the internet! The latest version has all of the following, according to their website:

    Apache HTTPD 2.2.2, MySQL 5.0.21, PHP 5.1.4 + 4.4.2-pl1 + PEAR + Switch, MiniPerl 5.8.7, Openssl 0.9.8b, PHPMyAdmin 2.8.1, XAMPP Control Panel 2.3, Webalizer 2.01-10, Mercury Mail Transport System für Win32 und NetWare Systems v4.01a, FileZilla FTP Server 0.9.16c, SQLite 2.8.15, ADODB 4.80, Zend Optimizer 3.0.0, XAMPP Security. SSI bug fixed.

    There are versions for Windows, Linux, Solaris, and Mac OS X.

  3. I don't think you can upgrade XP at this moment, and at any rate it would be inadvisable to run it as your primary OS.

    That might be causing your errors.

  4. http://www.invisionboard.com/ is very easy and free. This is what MSFN uses. You will need access to mysql database and know a little about php, of course if you have a host they can and should help you to install it.

    Invision ain't free anymore...

    It costs $70 for a yearly license and $185 for a perminate license.

    As far as installation of PHP and MySQL, you can host it yourself (I don't recommend, however, you doing this for any reason other than testing... :( ) You can use Xampp. It is preconfigured Apache server w/ php5 or 4 (you choose) and MySQL (to configure it, you press one button and load phpMyAdmin).

    Are there any good ASP/ASP.Net forum solutions out there? I don't want this to turn into a PHP -vs- ASP debate, but it kinda shows how people (devs) like php better than asp(.net) :whistle:

  5. Download BartPE and burn it to a disk (Google it; very easy software to make the disk). Boot off that disk. Load up the command prompt on it and type:

    format X: /fs:NTFS

  6. MKPortal looks nice... But most of the fun is coding it by hand, IMO.

    I'm hosting on iPowerWeb (although eventually I might host it myself; got a few old computer that'd work just fine on Fedora for the job).

    I might give MKPortal a shot.
