He's already disabled it. Use the following command: sc delete service Then remove the "svchcst.exe" file from C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 (note the spelling - it's not svchost but svchcst).

Is there heavy hard disk activity during the boot process?

Check the CMOS battery. Also you may want to disable the Windows Time service (which attempts to set the time).

Your machine would have to have a horridly inaccurate clock for it to drift that far off, or it's time to replace the CMOS battery.Even the cheapest quartz watches gain or lose an average of 0.5s per day. Assuming that the skew is always in one direction (highly inconcievable), to lose or gain 5 minutes would take 600 days. In practice the skew reverses direction frequently and never in one direction for more than 600 days, so the CMOS battery would probably need replacement long before the time drifts far enough to become a problem.

I remember old versions of Nero would have a dialog with the title "Error" and the text "Success" after the burning was complete.

It's open-source distributed computing.

Do you really think that there is something like "48-bit LBA capable chipset"? Petr Most of them implement passthrough, so reads/writes are passed directly through the IDE bus and to the device, but I wouldn't be surprised if some of them do something with the requests besides directly giving them to the devices.

Why was I expecting someone to post this?I just turn off my monitor when I'm not using it...

If you don't understand English then it would be wise to learn it. Why? I need not. I am specialist.I am Slovak. You show to me,that you better as me.You are only England s***.You can only your language.It is all. No, this is a English-only forum

Just ignore him he's been like that in the XP forum too Getting back on-topic, I'd like to see some screenshots of the task manager showing how many processes are running and how much RAM it's all using. I heard stock was ~70 processes?

Because most users don't really care about international support (and I myself couldn't care less...)Time zone, I'll just change it myself

There are certain chipsets it doesn't seem to work properly on, but then again it might just be because the original chipset hardware was not 48-bit LBA capable, and there's nothing I can do about that. Other than that I can't really give an estimate of success, since I think most of the users just download the files and it works for them, but they don't bother to post. The ones which it doesn't work on are more likely to post... I've been using it with no problems.

No, I deleted the Help and Support service completely...

I'd just allocate a byte array and use pointers of various types, pointing to different locations within the array, to read the data. This is the most flexible approach, as structs, which seem to be encouraged much for this type of work, fail for strings of variable length, data that can be in different formats depending on other values in the array, etc.

All it does is change a few registry keys so I don't see the point of using a 60 kilobyte file to do it when a few hundred-byte .reg would've sufficed... More info on the registry settings: http://www.jsifaq.com/SUBA/tip0300/rh0398.htm I discussed this with some members on another forum several months ago: http://www.woodmann.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7842 I'd rather just disable autoTZ and set it myself...

You don't really need a firewall. XP has one built in.

Intel provides 2K and XP with a WDM driver that supports all the Intel chipsets from 810 to latest Q965. Attempting to force-install this on 98se results in BSOD. There are definitely differences between the NT and 9x versions of the driver besides the INFs.

It's like C++. And no, it doesn't have pointers in the usual sense. "goto" is also missing

Your speed will depend on the quality of your AC line wiring and the presence of electrical noise on such.

http://connect.microsoft.com RC1 was there the last time I checked...

Abandoned, see the Display Driver for Intel 900-Series Chipset topic for a further extension of this.

Like I'd even want to pay anything for that Their drivers are a bit bloated and have no acceleration support. I don't really see IBM buying and then opening it... Currently my best solution would be to use both the open-source Linux driver and the 2K/XP driver to write the whole driver myself. A friend says that device drivers are more straightforward to write once the method of building them has been figured out, as unlike an ordinary app where you have to think about the functionality, a device driver already has a purpose and aim, and you essentially write instructions to interact with the hardware in predefined ways. Reading the DDK documentation and looking through the VGA driver makes me believe this is so. The display driver just has to export several functions for initialising the hardware, enabling/disabling it, and drawing pixels, bitblts, etc.

Check the usual... explorer, shell32, etc.

If they don't like something you're doing M$ will just issue a letter to the effect of "remove all illegal material" that they can see, and if you do, that's the end of that.
