I finally got around to trying this on my laser printer, I don't switch it on often. I wanted it in a table format and the idea from jumper did the job fairly well. 50 sets of numbers across is what I settled for, although very small, it did work okay. Unfortunately it wouldn't stretch it across the page to make it larger, probably because it would of made the characters malformed. Thank you jumper for a successful solution and thank you everyone else for your ideas.

I would like some recommendations on software which will accomplish the following: 1] I need a table of 4 digit numbers with dividing lines between each set of 4 digits. 2] The table must be as compact as possible, using a condensed font which I want to print out on A4 paper. 3] Locating the numbers is important, so they shouldn't all be just stuck on the page. There must be a regular amount per line of 10 sets or 20 sets of 4 digits, preferably 20 in a neat table. 4] The numbers must be automatically filled in, I don't want to enter them all myself. The count is from 0 to 9999. This is essential! I thought that a spreadsheet might be able to do it, although I don't know about auto filling the numbers, I certainly don't want to have to manually fill in 10000 numbers. I did try a spreadsheet but couldn't work out how to fill in the numbers automatically. Freeware would be preferable if possible.

It's pretty amusing to see how xp is now more than 20 years old even if it was created only 10 years ago. It's a Sunday night here and as a result, my maths skills are sadly lacking. It just seems like 20 years. Now here is the real kicker........I did look at a Windows XP wiki page prior to posting

Thank you for the new links.

No I really didn't know lmao Problem solved. All of them. I have been using Win XP for close to 20 years and the hide inactive items is one of the first things that gets disabled, so it's not something that I am familiar with. I think that it might be disabled in my customized XP image so I never see it. I probably have seen it in the distance past but can't say that I remember it.

Thanks for the link, that program does do what I wanted. However, do you know what that button is? It's still a mystery which I would like solved. I have seen it in Blue and Green on different taskbar pictures. It does look like the one on Windows 7 and that works very well. I have the show desktop band with Aero Peak system feature.

I am trying to get something like the Windows 7 desktop button so I can easily run programs from icons on my desktop. I know about the desktop toolbar on XP but it shows the word Desktop next to two small right pointing arrows and I would prefer this replaced with just a button so it takes up less space. I know the title can be hidden but doing that brings several icons onto the task bar which takes up a similar amount of space. I saw on several websites a similar thing as illustrated in the image below, which I have circled in green, next to the notification area. I don't know what it is meant to do, but it looks like what I wanted. That button doesn't show on my Windows XP taskbar so I cannot test it. Wikipedia shows the same thing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taskbar#Screenshots Therefore, can any tell me what it is, what it does and how to make it show on my taskbar?

I have just started to attempt to use vlite and this has happened to me 3 times in a row. 4GB of memory using Win XP Pro SP2 I copied the vista files to a folder on one of my drives and it happened as soon as I selected the image to configure. I was running Firefox with a lot of tabs open so after the reboot I tried again with vlite alone and it happened once again. The drive has some problems so I copied the Vista files to a brand new drive and tried again, with the same problem. I have check disked my system partition and the new drive which now stores the Vista files. So it's not the memory, it's not the drive and I don't experience it with any other program, only vlite. My Anti Virus is disabled and was for every attempt and so was my firewall, all but the basic net connection. I have also removed my network cable and turned off my firewall to be sure. Same result. It does seem to only be experienced by people using Win XP STOP: 0x00000024 (0x001902fe, 0xbd9db3e0, 0xdb9db0dc, 0xf5964736 ) NTFS.SYS address f5964736 base at f5964000 date stamp 480db32e

I am having big problems downloading from eSnips and GigaSize so I am unable to download quite a few of the addons that I would of liked. Neither will download the full files. If eSnip requires registration then it won't even let me complete the registration as it won't send me a confirmation email. I am a member of Gigasize but that still won't complete a full download, I just get a 345 Byte file instead of MV2Player. Looks like potentially some very good addons but not much use unless they can be downloaded. It might just be the addons I wanted that have problems as I have managed to download other files from eSnips. The problem file was Net Meter 1.1.3

I am trying to install XP Pro and I have not been able to get a working install CD made. During setup, it got to 93% of files copied and then froze for 20 minutes with copying x3daud11.dll showing in the bottom corner of the setup screen. Can someone tell me what that is to do with? I think it could be DirectX as I did add the DirectX runtime files to the installation hotfixes. If that is the case then it is not working and I will remove it. Can someone confirm this? I am getting a bit fe up with messing around with this, I have done countless CD's and all have failed to install. I have removed a lot of the hotfixes that I think were causing problems and now it gets stuck there. I did reset the system hoping it would continue but it went back into the setup and then complained about a missing 3114.sys, it could of been but it was definately part of the driver for my SATA controller. Those drivers were intergrated as Text mode drivers so that should not of happened. So will someone please tell me what x3aud11.dll is and what it is part of?

That's probably what I did, selected unattended setup, just like me to select everything so I don't miss anything. lol Thanks for solving it

Okay thanks for the suggestion. Why did nlite put this file into my Iso? Something must make nlite put it in. I did select GUIattended. Is there another option that would not of done it?

I do have that file on the CD but I do not make unattended CD's as I always like to change where they install to. So it is definately not an unattended CD. I have just looked at the winnt.sif file and it says: UnattendedInstall = "Yes" Yet this is most definately NOT an unattended install CD. I am absolutely certain that I selected to make it gui attended or something like that (I cannot remember the exact options in the drop down list), but it was an attended installation that I wanted so I did select the most appropriate option to do that. I do not have nlite installed at the moment so I cannot check it. What options are in that attended/unattended installation option drop down box? Do I manually have to edit the winnt.sif file before I make the ISO so that it says UnattendedInstall = "No" ? Surely it should not be necessary to do that?

Hi everyone, I am having big problems with Windows, my Ethernet and internet keeps dying on me (limited or no connectivity with my Ethernet) so I must keep this short before it dies again. I want to attempt a repair of Windows XP. My original CD does have the option to do a repair of windows, it shows the installed windows and allows to select one for repair. But this is missing on my Windows XP nlited CD. I do not remember ever seeing this available after doing a nlite CD. Can anyone tell me why this is and what I need to do to allow me to do a repair? Thanks in advance for any replies.

I have never had these problems with nLite before, drivers got integrated and worked the way they should. But not on that old windows installation they didn't. I have never copied drivers to the nLite XP folder, they were in a driver folder on my hard disk with other stuff in it, but nLite was copying everything in that folder to the XP CD folder, that was until I made a separate folder and only copied the drivers that I wanted to integrate (even though they never got integrated). that was the only way to stop nLite from copying everything. I have never touched that folder. It was not a shortcut it was a folder, even a checkdisk did not sort that out, it still went back on itself (clicking on it went no where and did not open the folder, it just went back to the same folder) until I deleted it. But it was definitely a folder.

I finally got an install done and it did not go all that well None of the drivers were installed, I had to manually install every driver when I got into windows. I did have copyurl install as an addon but that broke the install, freezing it at 13 minutes remaining when it was registering components. After I removed that it did get through the install. .Net 2 did not install either. So all in all I am not impressed with the results.

I have now managed (at last) to get the drivers down to 73MB. I had to move the drivers to another directory of it's own in the root of the drive. I re-added the drivers from that directory and it has now worked I still wonder why it was doing that. I will trigger a checkdisk of my drive as it has not been done in a long time as it never seems to happen after a crash. There is a strange directory in that folder called windows which when double clicked takes me to the same directory so it sort of loops back on itself. Maybe that was confusing things. Now the iso is down to 576MB

No that is correct. Those are the drivers that I wanted. I have selected the individual drivers that are required and I do not use the integrate folder option as I do not want all the drivers installed (I do not want the ethernet driver as it causes problems for some unknown reason so I avoid it and install afterwards). I have a copy of the windows source files with no service packs integrated on my hard drive and I delete the working directory which nLite uses each time and re-copy the source files to another directory so it is a clean source directory and has nothing whatsoever integrated.

I do not have the last session for that run as I have uninstalled nlite 1.0.1 and re-installed 1.0 and deleted the Windows Setup files from that run. I do have a previously saved session which should be basically the same as that run had the same problem. I am doing another CD using the 1.0 build as I do need to get a re-install done and after repeated runs (and many hours) I still do not have a working CD. Another thing is it keeps leaving in languages that I specified to delete and on repeated runs using a last session those non English languages are selected to leave in. edit by mod: attach, don't post presets, too long to scroll

As you can see in these treeview screens the drivers are the problem folder. What is more, I did not integrate those drivers or folders. The only drivers I integrate in that folder using individual driver integration with the following .inf files were: 3114_x86_13100_logo - SI3114.inf Forceware win-xp-2k-9145 - nv4_disp.inf Driver - WHQL Certified (1.3) epson28522eu - EPCACCFE.INF And yet nLite HAS gone and integrated all the drivers and folders into the iso. It has done the same with the nforce folder as well. I did not integrate those drivers, nor did I select the nforce folder for integration. I did not even integrate all the drivers as when I have integrated the ethernet drivers in the past my windows install freezes and I cannot get it to continue.

I have tried it again, but this time I removed all the drivers and added them afresh. I made absolutely certain that I did not use the add multiple drivers feature to add all drivers in a directory. Yet nLite has still added all the drivers in the directory, the resulting ISO was 1.15GB, with drivers of 652MB once again. It looks like nLite 1.0.1 has a serious bug. I will have to go back to the previous version which did not exhibit this behaviour.

The drivers were on my hard disk. They were in many different folders as the drivers I integrated were made up from a number of different sources. Thanks for that program, that showings everything very well. For some reason there are drivers in the Windows CD folder which I did not add. But I still cannot see where the 652MB is made up from, it shows there are 3 sets of forceware drivers and network drivers that I did not integrate so how they got in there I do not know. I will look at it later as I have to go now. I will have another look and post again in about 14 hours.

I have edited it. This has happened repeatedly The forceware drivers are only 34.4MB my nForce drivers are only about 13MB plus a few other small drivers but these drivers in total cannot be anywhere near 100MB. So how is nLite making 652MB of drivers and how can I find out where it is going wrong?

I have just made a custom Windows XP CD using nlite 1.0.1 including my drivers and the latest updates and a few addons and it is telling me that it reduced it by 800+MB and that windows was about 372MB and the drivers are 652MB in size. Now this is ridiculous as my drivers are only just over a tenth of that size. Has anyone else encountered this problem with 1.0.1 as I never had this problem using previous versions? I will add this was not just on one occasion as I have done this three separate times with a very similar resulting size.

I have attempted to add all my drivers on several occasions but whenever I add the network drivers (I have two, one a Realtek gigabit and the other a nVidia 10/100) the installation freezes and I have extreme difficulty getting it to continue. Does anyone know what might be causing this and what I should do to get this to work correctly? System specs: nForce2 DFI Lanparty Ultra B Onboard RealTek RTL 8169/8110 Gigabit Ethernet driver 5.635.923.2005 nVidia nForce Networking Controller (10/100) driver 4.7.1 RealTek unused, nVidia connected to Router.
