You might want to rephrase that (for Googlers) as "XP 32-bit will not give you the ability to use a USB card as VM BUT leaves you with the deceiving impression that you can". And so your numerous statements (starting from the 1st post) that "it worked great!" are erroneous but your insistance and the impression we had that the fact you modify these settings indicates that you knew what effect it had (move bits of the pagefile.sys to an other volume) dragged this thread to a second page.

If I remember well, each session uses more than 30MB of the disc, additionally to the included data.

Is that not an evidence that it does not work ? If nothing shows up on the card, it's simply not used.

Is it the only pointing device ? (or is it possible that the software is acting on a trackpad as well?)

Just for info, I just plugged two USB keys and a USB HDD in my fairly old laptop (XP32, SP3), all 4 volumes (2 on the HDD) appear in Virtual Memory settings, but even if the settings are kept after reboot (I set 20Meg on one of the USK keys), there is no new file on that key. Not sure if there would be one created "when needed".

Or check WSUS offline update. (But your're in for much more MB download, depending the options you check.

Typical ATI. Here it says "Certified drivers for Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP", but they can't be arsed to actually provide them. Have you checked if they are not included in that 119MB pack on the eMachine site ?

Allow me please to participate to this ridiculous thread. First, .... the guide (made by someone else) is not that great, so you shouldn't have been expecting much praise, which you made it look like that's what you were in for (with your 2nd post). Aside of that, please people, give him a break. Lets just consider this; nLite at the start was a tool to make Windows XP/2K install the fastest possible, for a personal (enthusiast's) use. Removing unneeded components and pre-integrating your own drivers were ways to get there. The "guide" is aimed to make a huge XP disc that would be able to install on everyone (else?)'s pc, so it's not in the philosophical line of nLite. Personally, I would not recommend anyone to follow that guide. I do agree though that frequently asked info is buried deep in the forum, but this guide is only aimed at answering very few of them and as such is not worth a sticky. End.

Is that for work ?

And I'm honored you registered to MSFN just to ask me that. I thought something had moved and the thread was marked as if it was updated today. Either something was added then deleted just at the moment I looked or I got it totally wrong. And of course the thread I pointed to was created after this post. I PMd nexus_lm to apologize. Still weird that the other member would copy paste this question. Any mod can erase all this.

That part (users creation, renaming) is very touchy and nLite always assumes the source only contains the standard MS pre built accounts. If any further modification is then performed (in running nLite a 2nd time), things can go wrong. Same problem as you have: here.

There is nothing (wrong) to see in your ini file. IF you are starting from scratch (original set of files) -both accounts should exist and have administrative rights, -"Administrator" has been renamed to "Admin" When you say you can't login to Admin in Safe Mode, do you mean it doesn't accept the password (even blank?) or does it "auto logon" to the other account ? If so, can you not log off and retry ? If you are not starting from original set of files and users have been modified, you won't be able to reuse users section as nLite only handles "theoretically existing built-in" users.

I'm afraid hundreds of millions of MS-Windows customers might have slightly different ideas about the acceptable "one calculator that does it all". You might go poll a very small percentage of them and come back ... YMMV... Other companies are better at that indeed (getting everybody to go "Waaow"). Beside that, nobody considers the calculator as an application. It's an accessory.

This was 10 years ago. And again, what's a "Service Pack"? Who invented the word? You're trying to give us your own definition of what is is supposed to be when it's not. You do the same with "Operating System" Again, it's not a shame, it's how it was supposed to be. Please leave the OS separated from the applications so you get choice. When MS adds stuff... "it's bloat" , when they add IE it's even worse... they get fined! (And "Firefox is better anyway"). You complain 3rd party programs are better, why would we still want MS to add their own ?

...... ..... ..... ... If you know the question, you know the answer. Why play bot troll? Want to get banned?

why "still" ? I have no idea what you call "classic eurodance of the 90s" ... Jamiroquai? the Happy Mondays? KLF? Da Hool? Kosheen? Return of the Mack? Hobo Humpin' Slobo Babe? All I conclude from your post is that you probably turned 19 during the 90s and that you remember them as being the best time ever. All music clips on Youtube, even the worse, have "best song ever" somewhere buried in the thousands of comments, I guess it's just an association with best times ever.

... hardware problem.

Yes, you've tried a lot but you (we)'re still not making progress since you first post. That points to either a hardware fault or an interference with the mouse/touchpad.

Honestly...I disagree with most your post. In fact there are so much contradictions I could also say that you disagree yourself.

According to Intel, the form factors are the same. Celeron M 350, H-PBGA478, H-PBGA479, PPGA478, PPGA479 Pentium M 740 H-PBGA479, PPGA478 But it doesn't tell if your motherboard will be able to go from 1.3 to 1.73GHz. This is a 33% increase. The pentium will remain underclocked. Also the 2nd laptop uses DDR2-533Mhz while 1st laptop uses DDR-333. I'm not sure it will be happy with that.

In the registry, under HKCU\Keyboard Layout\Preload, do you have "00000409" at #1 ?

When moving big amount of data from one pst to an other (new?) one, the size of the 1st one will not decrease. You will need to manually compact the (deflated) pst. I can't remember what the option is called ("compact" or "optimize" or something like that). It's in the Advanced part of the contextual menu. The action takes a lot of time. Older pst (non Unicode, created by 2000 or earlier versions) can grow up to ~2Gig but tend to become corrupt when reaching that size, but you should not have that problem if the file was created with Outlook 2007.

Please edit ("Use Full Editor") your first post so that the title shows what it really is about (Forum Rule #12).

So your original is not an original. Get a real original. You've lost enough (of our) time with illegal downloads. We won't help you further.
