I already know this. The update did not pop up again for me to hide. KB971033 is missing in action LOL. Where the f*ck is it?

Usually you can uninstall KB971033 and then hide the update, and thus never have to worry about it again. I "uninstalled" KB971033 from the "Installed Updates" screen as usual but....I am pretty sure KB971033 simply disappeared from the "Installed Updates" screen WITHOUT ACTUALLY UNINSTALLING. It never popped back up as an update to hide. Very unusual.

How do I add a .reg file to my installation files? I made a .reg file, that has all the services the way I want them. I did not see the option in nlite, besides modifying all the services again in nlite.

My school gave me a free copy of Ultimate, but it was the upgrade version. How do I do a clean install?

which service is needed to share files over a wireless home network? I accidently turned it off I think.... Title Edited - Please follow new posting rules from now on. --Zxian

i don't think people realize how old XP is. It was released without support even for usb 2.0

thanks guys, this is exactly what I was looking for. but are there any other options I should consider?

Whats the easiest and best way to update my XP Pro SP2 install files (the "i386" folder) to the latest updates? So far it only has SP2.

what does this do?

yeah but all that stuff is offloaded to the video card. why would it slow the pc down?

what you guys think?

Is it true, that unlike previous windows, in which a bunch of files were copied from the installation cd to the hard disk drive, that in Vista during installation a prefabricated image is copied to the hard disk?

thats amazing, if true

yeah this is exactly the answer I was looking for. Does everyone agree that in spite of setting automatic updates to manual, the windows update site will not work?

how come eldergeek says its required? http://www.theeldergeek.com/machine_debug_manager.htm

If I set the Automatic Updates service to manual, does the Windows update website still work? I know that Automatic Updates service must be turned on to access the website (it seems wierd that the Automatic Updates service must be on, even though you are manually installing updates. Thats microsoft for you).

What setting should I put Machine Debug Manager service?

It seems to me that Vista will have a ton of junk in it. I hope some enterprising young inidividual will create a hybrid of XP with some of the few good features from Vista.

This never works for me. Even if I'm logged on as the Administrator, I can never delete the other account that XP forced me to make during installation.

So the only way to have the Administrator only when installing XP is to do the unattended install?

Is there a way to have ONLY the Administrator account? whenever I install XP pro, it forces me to pick a username. Granted this username has aministrator privelages, but I want only the TRUE 'Administrator' account.

this is on a notebook....if it matters

what services are needed for wireless networking? I am running XP Pro SP2
