I found that uninstalling the ACPI in Device Manager worked for a client's toshiba lappy. Also, there was a nic issue that caused a BSOD problem as well. Uninstalling Windows XP ACPI: -->Device Manager -->r.click on "ACPI Computer"--> "Update Driver..." -->replace the driver with "Standard PC". XP will rebuild the HAL registry tree by reinstalling all your devices upon reboot. You cannot go back to ACPI afterwards w/o a very long and tedious process...unless you make a image (system restore may not save you.) Windows 2000, will die if you try this.

a standard fix for exe trouble would be to use this reg file Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe] @="exefile" "Content Type"="application/x-msdownload" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe\PersistentHandler] @="{098f2470-bae0-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb}" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile] @="Application" "EditFlags"=hex:38,07,00,00 "TileInfo"="prop:FileDescription;Company;FileVersion" "InfoTip"="prop:FileDescription;Company;FileVersion;Create;Size" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\DefaultIcon] @="%1" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\open] "EditFlags"=hex:00,00,00,00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\open\command] @="\"%1\" %*" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\runas] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\runas\command] @="\"%1\" %*" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shellex] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shellex\DropHandler] @="{86C86720-42A0-1069-A2E8-08002B30309D}" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shellex\PropertySheetHandlers] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shellex\PropertySheetHandlers\PEAnalyser] @="{09A63660-16F9-11d0-B1DF-004F56001CA7}" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shellex\PropertySheetHandlers\PifProps] @="{86F19A00-42A0-1069-A2E9-08002B30309D}" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shellex\PropertySheetHandlers\ShimLayer Property Page] @="{513D916F-2A8E-4F51-AEAB-0CBC76FB1AF8}" If that doesn't work, you probably do have spy/adware or a virus. Also, you can rename exe to com and give it a try. Maybe this File Association Fix file from the excellent site of Doug Knox would help as well.

Another tidbit...some Acronis apps. require restarting before using. This can be bypassed by deleting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Acronis\InstallReboot Some Acronis products won't work without starting some services or registering dll's however if you try this.

Install Acronis product and export from registry... Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Acronis\TrueImage\Settings] "key"="a lot of different numbers" . Now all you need to do is apply the reg file before you install the application and you will see that the dialog requesting a product key is bypassed completely. This is true for all Acronis apps. except OS Selector.

mini-dvd is like a mini-cd. it is just a smaller size media. follow the same steps to making a cd or dvd bootable.

on reanimatolog's site (homesite for bcdw) you can d/l images of various sizes like 5mb, 10mb,300mb, etc. you can inject the file into those images and put the boot file into them as well. Do a search for this on the 911cd forum for more info. It gets very tricky.Otherwise, stick to cdshell 2.0.11. Unless you are getting really good w/ cdshell, i highly doubt you would need to go up to that version . It's still beta right now anyways.

How? There is no setup.exe or anything, there is only setup.msi. I made a transform file, but I have no way to apply it. Running "setup.msi TRANSFORMS=Plus.MST" just shows a dialog saying "Invalid command line options". the msi is probably named something different, also use the full path to both msi and mst

make a mst (transform) and apply during installation. do a search for mst if you do not know how to make one. it has been covered extensively.

what ver. of cdshell are you using? ver 2.0.15b/16b are buggy and cannot be d/l'ed though some people are using it still. Try using v2.0.11 if you are not.

Remove Hotfix without removing the hotfix

the InstallShield engine (ikernel) must remove files in temp that were used to install your app. ikernel isn't quiting fast enough and file remnants are in your temp folder. This is an Installshield v6 issue. 1st try to install the ikernel update as the very first item in your unattended if that doesn't work write a few more batch lines to delete everything in temp and kill ikernel. If the version differs, all IS engine updates for end users can be found here. Also know that MS hotfix q329623 fixes issues relating to your problem caused by hotfix Q328310.

glad to help

In this example I will show you how to create the boot files for all Acronis products and call them from CD Shell. You will need the following : A full retail product from Acronis BCDW add-on for CD-Shell v 1.50z <----Updated 9.28.04 CD Shell v 2.0.11 or higher WinISO v 5.3 A CD-R Burner (preferably a CD-RW Burner) I am going to use Partition Expert 2003 as an example. This method however applies to all Acronis products. –-Make the boot files 1. Install Partition Expert 2003 and choose to create a boot disk either during installation or via the Bootable Rescue Media Builder. Choose to burn it on a CD-R.(I use CD-RW’s for this) 2. Make an ISO image using WinISO or any ISO utility of the CD you just made. (Partition Expert will be ~5mb) 3. Open the created ISO image with WinISO and choose to ‘Save boot information to file’ and save this file as PartEx.wbt.(Your .wbt will also be ~5mb) F.Y.I. – You will not see any files or folders listed when you open your ISO. True Image 7 and + is the exception. ***The folder in a TI .iso is called 'Recovery Manager'. If you wish to have the option to activate the Acronis Startup Recovery Manager or modify the Secure Zone you must place that folder at root of your cd and burn with joilet. –Prepare CD Shell for Acronis .wbt’s The BCDW.csm allows you to boot .wbt files. Some products work this way, some do not. The entire Acronis product line does boot via .wbt. 1. Download the BCDW add on for CD Shell. 2. Take the file BCDW.csm located in the ‘modules’ folder and place it in the ‘modules’ folder of your CD Shell project. –Put it together and make the cdsh.ini 1.In this example, we will put our Acronis wbt files in a folder called ‘Acronis’. The Acronis folder will then be placed in the ‘boot’ folder of our CD Shell project. This way we don’t have to look at any additional folders or files at root level of our CD and it allows for easy transport and updating of Acronis products across CD Shell builds. So far we have done this: ROOT ––boot –––-Acronis –––––––-PartEx.wbt –––-modules –––––––-bcdw.csm 2. Make a menu entry in the cdsh.ini for Partition Expert 2003. Here’s mine, print "\c02 F6) Acronis PartitionExpert 2003 \n” To call Partition Expert, if $lastKey == key[F6]; then bcdw /boot/Acronis/PartEx.wbt Enjoy! -If you place the wbt files in a different location please be sure to understand the difference of ‘\’ and ‘/‘ as it is used in CD Shell. -This method uses CD’s to make the wbt’s, not floppies. Use a friend's CD-R if you don’t have one. -I don’t include the build number in my cdsh.ini or in the actual filename of the .wbt. I keep it generic so I do not have to constantly make changes to my cdsh.ini. Here is a short, cdsh.ini of mine

ed2003 cannot load with /inram. it was made w/ that and other restrictions.

limited by design if you are using the actual build of erd2003, not the plugin. Also, some complications will arise in versions higher than 4.0 if your build is not made w/ a win2003 cd. (Though it still lets you create with an xp cd)

didnt mean to imply cdshell had native support for imz. nice to know a newer kernel has been released. i haven't check for updates in a bit

yes. got to preferences--you will find a checkbox to allow overburning. Change the total size allowence form 80 ->82min

theme support is available for 2000, but think of it as the limited 98/ME style themes. Uxtheme.dll GUI candy is only available for xp/2003. uxtheme.dll cannot be applied to 2000 because it does not exist for it. You should try desktop x or nextstart.

perhaps you disabled the option to display the web page as desktop. That allows jpg to be apllied from the web folder if i recall correctly. display-->properties-->desktop-->customize desktop-->web-->check 'MyCurrent Homepage;

Wrap aluminum tape between power unit and case for stronger airflow and to minimize air leaks. Use rubber washers between screws and HD, CD/DVD etc. Glue audio sound dampening mats on the inside covers of your case. Try to screw all screws a bit tighter. Vibrations......

ummm...repeating you? I don't really think so. I was pointing out why WinISO was wrong for editing AIO'S and the like, esp. concerning the bootfiles.
