@2696-686 Thanks ! The links are good ! Will edit the previous post right now. (done, it´s @2696-686 now) Agi

@2696-686 Thanks for the clarification ! I´m still getting the 403 on .de. What happened to the database, after the domain was sold ? On .org there was a T-com ad, telling the site is under redecoration. Now it´s up again !!! (this second) Agi

... and modified one of them. Read, don´t ask or push the tread! Agi

Some cleaningtools provide the option : remove empty folders It´s not applicable to nlite, I think. (or there will be another reboot) The problem is windowsbased. Even if SFC and WFP are switched off, you can´t simply remove systemfolders. Your list is pretty nice for a really slimmeddown XP. But : You won´t be able to play japanese games (IME/ applocale) or use older (16bit) software. Agi

Hi everyone ! What is happening ? Don´t know, what struggles are behind the curtains. The "german-nlite.de" domain was for sale until 2 hours ago, now it´s 403 (forbidden) ! The "german-nlite.org" went down 30 minutes before. Whatever it is : PLEASE settle it, without inconveniance towards the members ! Agi

You can disable it completely. HKLM, System, CurrentControlSet, Control, SessionManager, MemoryManagement from 0 (on) to 1 (off). THX to BuckFix @ winhelpline.info Agi

Kind of. Can just speak for W2K right now, since my XP still waits, to be nlited. Windows suggests, as minimum, about 1.5 times of actual RAM-size for the pagefile. Have 3GB RAM now (just upgraded from 1GB), the minimum was suggested to be min and max 1.5GB before, it suggests 4.5GB for the pagefile now.. Never used more then 512MB though... (that´s, why I set it to 512MB and kept it) Waste of space ! That´s why I got RAM, so Windows shall use it ! Since I´m working with GIMP and Blender, there has to be a big temp-folder, of cause. (basically, half of my IDE-HDD, just for this purpose) The funny part about it is : It always worked without problems. (with more RAM, definitely faster, but same settings) But Windows increased the values dynamically, without any performance-gain ! (tested it, in several different setups, on my testpartition un-nlited) Same amount of pagefile used, same processor workload, same task, same speed... The only noticable (but neglectable) performance-gain was, when W98SE was installed on the IDE-HDD (C:), W2K and XP on the RAID0 (D:). The pagefiles were cross (D: for C: and vice versa). Agi

@Redhatcc Well, my Amiga500 does it all the time. Agi

Don´t try to create an XP-CD on Vista ! Get rid of Vista first, install XP and framework, just to run nlite. You shouldn´t be connected to the net, while doing this ! Fernando made pretty good tutorials, how to get rid of preinstalled Vista, as did several others, who I also appriciate. Agi

Yes, of course ! You tried to copy the WHOLE /i386 folder ! Where is the running system located ? Where shall the nlited CD install to ? Shall it be a backup? If not : Why are you using nlite to modify the /i386 folder, if you´re replacing it anyway ? Agi Hammerklau

You weren´t vague ! It´s exacly, what I´m asking myself, since starting with nlite. Except for a couple of members, who are in both fora, the rest maybe heard of hfslip, but does not even know TommyP or FDV. Agi Eddi T. says : Please no doubleposts ! That´s, what the "Editbutton" is for.

Hi ! Well, we don´t know it either. What about editing and underlaying the link to the notebook ? On this notebook ? What choice ? That´s where we definitely need the last_session.ini You´re sure, you didn´t install W98SE ? (sorry, couldn´t help it) Sounds, like Nuhi should expand the keep-compatibility option by "notebook/ laptop" ?! Agi

Two basic recommendations : 1. Don´t work on the desktop ! Especially the zipped addons exceed the 255-letter-limit easily. Even if you´re logged in with adminrights, sometimes applications are not capable of using your desktoppath (depending on rightsmanagement). 2. Don´t use a VM, if you think, it´s a driverproblem ! VMs are just emulating the drivers. They don´t really use the slipstreamed ones. Several guys tested in VMs, ran into problems, but the real install was flawless. So better use a spare testpartition. Agi Eddi T. says : 1.Working on the desktop is even worse in a VM, because the whole path to the VM is internally added to the pathname. The rightsmanagement in VMs is also pretty weird and far from real (especially regarding desktop), as I found out while testing the last nliteCD. 2.As far as I remember (please correct me, if I´m wrong) QEMU was at least using the drivers, that were installed in the running host system.

You don´t need the SP5 to fix the 137GB boundary. There is an option to enable biglba in nlite already. Don´t know, how HFSLIP does it, but it´s using reg.exe from supportfolder. (support\tools\support.cab) That´s where it may get tricky. Just used Acronis DiskDirector a couple of days ago, to partition my 160GB PATA-HDD. The GB-barrier was fixed before. Acronis messed it up again and I was stuck with 137GB, until I reenabled largelba manually. Agi

Even though it never occurred to me, some users even reported this problem for W2K. So I thought about it and searched for a solution. Unfortuanetly nothing solid came up, just wild guesses, that seem nevertheless logical. -some saw a connection between the system file protection and SP3 -some said it´s related to the latest rootcertificateupdate -some made the (non)driversigningpolicy responsible (maybe some vista-stuff was taken over in SP3 ?) and not to forget : -some are convinced, it were the aliens hope, it helps narrowing down, Agi

Sorry ! But I don´t think it´s completely covered. ´Cause we still don´t know, what really causes the "loitering" and maybe there are some users out there, who want to know. Beside nlite I´m still using HFSLIP and try to combine the best of both programms and fora. So e.g. the drivers and some programms are modified before and several are replaced directly (like notepad++). Since the CD-size doesn´t matter to me, all cabs are expanded so the installation is even faster then the shown rest-time. Maybe you give it a try as well. Agi Eddi T. says : Completely forgot the old F-10 trick ! During setup, press F10 and call up the taskmanager. It should show you, what addon or programm is particularily hanging.

@Happy-Dude Something "funny" will definitely happen, if someone follows your instructions. NEVER EVER work on the "desktop" ! Especially not, if nvidia drivers are to be captured. They exceed the 256-letter-pathlength on purpose, if not put to a "max 8 letter folder in the root" or a spare partition. Didn´t have any "RAID-trouble" with nlite. Agi

@witt Grab the coffee ! @jen At T-13 several systemcomponents and some addons are installed. So, it takes its time. It even takes a long time, to create folders for portable applications. Why ? Because the cabs have to be expanded every single time. Agi

Fairly simple ! Do, what the messagebox says. Agi

Thank you a lot ! But it´s not on me to decide and g-force registered the new domain already. (see sig) Since he is with T-com (as far as I remember), I think, the new forum will be up and running pretty soon. The only problem will be, to notify the 86713 members about the change. (btw. the record was about 1300 members online the same time) Agi

Do you really need to have wmp11 installed, or is it possible to use a codec-package and an alternative player ? Agi

In germany everything is illegal, unless specified otherwise by laws or regulations. Just kidding ! It´s even worse then humfri stated : The court in hamburg ruled, that the boardowner is held directly responsible, if sombody posts insults or warez. The judge said : Actually the posts have to be checked BEFORE they are published ! The boardowner was sentenced, even though he removed the insulting post the next morning at 10:00 a.m. (it was written about 04:00 a.m.). That´s why several fora have nightblocks and wordfilters now. Agi Eddi T. says : btw. what happens to the german-nlite-wiki ?

No ! It´s not disrespectful. It´s simply complying to german laws. Since the wellknown "heise-verdict", you have to have admins and mods to check the posts. ´cause the boardowner is held responsible for the content. So with the whole team gone (except sereby), there was no other way, but setting the forum to "read-only". Agi

Guess, he´s burning it to CD before Agi

The magic words are "Vista" and "XP". There are two possibe reasons why the installation fails : 1 Don´t nlite XPSP3 on Vista 2 If Vista is preinstalled, you have to check-out the tutorial*, how to get rid of it, before you can install XP *Sorry, link is not working... maybe Fernando could help out !?
