  1. Kick a** program, it also works on vista x64bit if you run dualboot. JFYI.
  2. Yes. on my system its HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Video\ or just f3 it and search for DefaultSettings.VRefresh and check its under same folder DO NOT go to other currentcontrolset folder then standard, dont go to the CurrentControlSet001 or CurrentControlSet002 just CurrentControlSet folder. The other will auto update and the other is safe mode i think it was.
  3. To sum up everything that is actually neede is to let user be able to customize the kernel itself as well as ability to choose what is installed, down the the smallest .ico file. When MS release update for kernel, its updated on the individual packages needed to build the kernel. A bit gentoo style but at 2009/20010 whenever, that isnt a problem nor is it today imho.
  4. If i could setup 2 systems with exact same hardware, then go nuts and tweak the s*** out of both, i would only need to do half as much tweaking on xp as on vista, because on vista i would 1st have to disable all the new stuff that is enabled on default that is not needed for the average joe anyway. So what, well 1st of, how many of vista buyers do you think have SSD drives? Sure you say but the popularity will take off eventually. You go explain Mr.Smith that he should buy a SSD disc for system disc because its faster, and also tell him he could get a hddrive at 10x + the size and still very fast 1TB hdd. SSD is enabled by default of course, adds latency to boot, and has system priority. How stupid is that per general usage. Then to list a few there's UAC of course, Online gaming problems still occuring because of Vista's api and whatnot, fact that audio latency in vista is totally way off by several ms, compared to xp, im not taking up even the hardware vendor issue as i can relate and support that, but it doesnt matter for joe, because after he is done paying for a new pc with his quadcore cpu and 4gb+ram and SSD discs and realizes he also needs to get a new printer,scanner, camera, he kinda thinks why am i even bothering with this looking at his wallet. So eventually then he sits down and thinks he is going to have a nice night of gaming on his uber l337 pc, and then he tries set his trusty old CRT which he luckily could keep in vista, to 120hz, and he gets msg he is stuck at 100hz what soever. Getting annoyed by that he tries a loned LCD, and kinda think isnt this blurry? And then thinks of XP and that he could tweak write combining and further gets a realization that hey, no can do. All well and good so far of course, no problems what so ever. So his mother comes along with some photographs she wants printed out, and sure enough he has a new printer supporting vista so no problem. Still kept his old crt tho, and then when he starts printing out pictures they are all some what, blue, red, green (strike what suits you), and looks like crap to be frank. Then he starts thinking, and hey it must be something about the printer color profile. After further fiddling he founds out his kick a** once upon a time 2000 euros worth crt color profile is not supported in vistal. Luckily its out again with his Visa, and voila a spanking new 24" lcd monitor stuck at 60hz, which sure is nice btw. I could continue but cba atm. I had vista tweaked down to nothing, it cant compare to xp yet. im sure it will get there, but it aint there today. Vista needs shaving and thank god for nuhi.
  5. ACTUALLY since you will be using IGP, integrated graphics, am i correct u will be? Check this out, if thats the case, XP can adress its maximum 3.2GB memory, however, in BIOS u can set your graphics adapter to us f.ex 512MB RAM, check your bios.!! So 3.2GB for XP, and 512mb for GFX onboard, so u get about 3.7GB utilized. IF u can use 768mb or 1GB for IGP you will get 3GB f.example, to full use for windows xp, while 1GB is for video graphics onboard. Tried and tested. Works perfect. Not that i am saying 64bit is not the way to go, but as in this case if you will only have/need 4GB.. Hope this helps. Much profit! Happy weekend and cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerzr.z.rz.rz
  6. havent tried battlefield2, bf1 worked ok here, didnt like game tho. NFS most wanted works just fine here. xp pro x64 sp2.
  7. Did you use isobuster to include a copy of microsoft corporation.img boot image? That's not necessary, and frankly its a pain to make such image cause you have to reinvent the wheel that is already included in nlite. Just use nlite's boot method, works ok. Also no one has answeared your post as its anyones guess what your custom made by nlite, txtsetup file contains at line xxxxx. How should be know when we dont know what the error is referring to at all?
  8. I dont understand, are you saying your camera supports Photodraw's filetype and that the program itself cant access them?
  9. For Software check superspeedsoftware. Kick a** top notch one of a kind unique fantastic products. Must have imho. Also a bit on topic otherwise: Disable Paging executive Tweak. Enable Explorer processes as separate tasks. Both of these tweaks enables system to use more ram. However, if on x64bit as we are, Enable Lock memory pages for YOURSELF in group policy editor. IF, and please understand this, IF security is not a problem, you couldnt care less, and dont need to reboot to often, or dont care that system might need some extra time to reboot, BECAUSE IT WILL IF U DO THIS I SAY HERE: You can also enable lock memory pages for Local Service, Network Service, etc etc etc. Now what is the bloody point of that eh? Well basically you are saying to the system that RAM isnt a problem, help yourself! Also look into system that you dont tweak system to auto close programs after 5 seconds that is in nlite tweaks. Leave it at a default. Ok i say it simply, let windows always take all the time it needs to reboot, if you enable such tweaks, it wont need probably so much on a ok system, but the more things in memory, the more things needs to be written to disc at some point. Thats where the reboot comes in. You wont find that tweak elsewhere, so dont bother, but for me it works OK. One important thing is if you want to get rid off pagefile, you must for a time have it enabled, set it to f.ex 64min64max, and see if windows asks for more. It shouldnt, but if so, you need to start checking what is causing that. I dont run with a pagefile. Been running without it since forever. Anyone who tells you its a good idea, sure it is, for a default standard non-configured setup computer it is. If you like me, modify your windows, to the point people think its a unix os you have running, it is not.
  10. I have benchmarked AHCI performance to death here. Imho there is no actual real world good reason to enable it. Imagine you want to start a recovery cd or boot something whatever media, and it doesnt recognize your harddrives since AHCI is enabled. Then you have to go into bios and deactivate it, then you go about your project, finish that, and to get back into windows, you will need to enable AHCI again, unless you want windows to start searching for the IDE drivers for your drives. Supposedly AHCI helps on prefetching what it thinks you need to acces next on your disc drives. This actually *INCREASES LATENCY* on your harddrives, and as happily other negative side-effect, your system is kept waiting just that tad little millisecond or worse, more millisecond, on what to do next. This is especially true to be annoying when you are doing things typically needing immidiate system response, as in burning media and heavy multi tasking, gaming and processing large texture packs and what not, video editing, and listening to music, if so all this is on the same harddrive, you will guaranteed experience more latency. Now, HAVING SAID ALL THAT, we are all different, some people will happily live with a samsung 215TW monitor f.ex and never think that it actually renders picture at a 46ms latency. AHCI is ok in itself, if you really optimize the system for it, but IMHO it is not mature yet. We need SATA-3 harddrives and new chipsets. It's a technology sitting on the fence waiting for the rest of the world to play ketchup. For the time being, unless you for some reason really need it, dont bother with it. It wont be worth it. Unless you are going ALL-IN for a high end system costing about 5 minutes of Bill Gates per-minute-income, AHCI isnt worth the trouble.
  11. About xp media, as in cd's and dvd's. How's using tooth paste to clean them? I had a dvd-rw that refused to work here, and i got so annoyed and refused to give in. So off i went, gave it a good colgate polish, and voila! Shame i had to burn it afterwards. =)
  12. I'm going to take a wild guess blind folded and say that you should disable any cd/dvd/similar including usb storage devices especially if connected to SATA. I have had this problem before. Also run a complete driver update check with a third party tool as DriverMAX. free registration. Seriously tho, if you havent done any big changes, chances are a slight power loss has made VDS gone crazy and windows has not detected your discs properly and thus VDS considered the mount points of all drives except the one it is one, c:\ (since it knows it exist, being the vds.exe resides there), it did the obsolete mount point action. power off, unplug power cable, hit power button, wait 30 sec, plug in power cable, power back on.
  13. I disagree with you all. I think it should be a separate part all together, as it would highten the enlightment and a lot of posts that were in wrong forum etc, wouldnt have happened. I've already counted 5 such posts now. It is frustrating when you want to help people and they are totally in the wrong place, and thus starts a new thread on another forum again. 2003 was known for its incompability with adobe to mention just that, along with lots other software. Xp x64bit had a lot less,and has, of these problems Same what not family, i dont care. Its a totally different product, end of story. (as far as Microsoft and their, Ok guys, today we are going to copy this, strip that out, add new directx, and much profit ok guys? and whore in the money.. =) )
  14. could possibly start menu\run\cmd.exe and type netstat + enter What does it say? Just checking if u got tcp at all or not. Checked adsl modem? check the bling bling lights. Firmware update for adsl modem is a good thing.Check if you have UPNP enabled or not. about 2 billion other things you could check, but we cant just list them all... or?
  15. If you only have the .sys file, what good will that do, ? Im curious? need the inf dont u? Anyway, dont u have a usb stick? Burn a cd? also: I know i heard they said they would start make x64 driverpacks back in 2006, last time i was alive before i died and came back, but it didnt happen AFAIK. It says on the webpage for 32bit only. I downloaded them all and didnt see any 64bit.
  16. That will not work unless he set up a third admin account. Setup 3d admin account, and sort out both Peter and Peter."computername" folders then. When sorting out files, delete both, or stick with the mess. reset computer, and relogin as 3d account, and then make new admin account Peter. If still xp makes Peter."unwantedextraletters" you need to enter registry and manually delete it. Sometimes windows wfp could hop in the ring.
  17. I regulary set up a Vmware install inside memory, that is on a ramdisk at 4GB. Xp 32bit ram limit is at 3.2GB ram max. Cant do that on 32bit =( Ramdisk and ability to use much ram is so many things so superior cool about it that its futile to try and list them all, but anyone known with the concept and knowing how much faster ram is then any harddrive/ssd. Having said that, Using vista and ramdisk dont mix, i dont care what people say that vista will release memory for other programs, it doesnt work as they say, as in i need the memory i have and need right this *instant*. Measuring with DPC you will see some serious latency problems with vista and its memory caching. Couldnt resist, sorry.
  18. No it can not at any rate. Xp SP1 or was it pre-sp1 ? lol. anyway the limit WAS 65536 connections. That is alot more then just 10 puny connections agree? I use 65536 connections, patched in Nlite 1.4.5.5 and works perfect and has done so since nlite started with it. Very safe to patch, i have no problems with it whatsoever. Have used xp x64bit since it came out, its complete cool to patch tcp ip. And in my god honest opinion it really helps when you want to surf and do things on internet while also downloading many things, especcialy torrents. Downloading Linux torrents is kick a** fun with patched tcp ip, not so fun without =( Most wanted patch for vista atm in vlite.
  19. AFAIK, been awhile to test it, but it does report .net 1.1 registry keys. Dot net 1.1 works with xp x64 bit (including the sp1+hotfix too!), it's just not A-OK by microsoft per se, but it works. CCleaner at least used to report them keys, but they can be safely removed, as most will not need .net 1.1 on xp x64bit at all. Also it is getting old and .net is at version 3.5 and most if not all have moved onto .net 2.0 at least. I only miss that CCleaner does not read all Run and Runonce registry keys, so i can use it to remove all bloat from startup. But good program.
  20. Or even much much better get WLM portable 8.5 final also available is 9.0 beta. Then simply extract and copy that msn folder to where you want, and ALL your settings and icons and conversations and everything related to that MSN is in that folder. You can use it on any windows. Problem solved forever and forever. If wanting to update, simply update the files inside the folder. Work perfect. Perfect solution. Tried and tested in 2003 x64, xp x64 vista x64, xp 32bit, as in here. No need to EVER reinstall msn upon installing windows, just start&go, no installs ever ever ever again. Much profit! Portable Forever!
  21. there's defintively a solution to this i would presume. At least it should be relatively easy to get keyboard setup back in. If i were you and had that problem i would install the Xp x64 in a virtual pc, virtualbox, vmware server (free trial works perfect), or some other tool like that. (actually i would make a nlite xp x64 cd again and rather reinstall, nls files can be troublesome) When you have done that, i would simply open regedit, and search for hebrew nls files. According to http://forums.windrivers.com/archive/index.php/t-76036.html quote: HipHoper May 23rd, 2006, 12:13 AM Started building X64 sysprep image......He ask me for the hebrew language files during the mini setup (C_10021.nls....And more). Is there a way to pass it ? i used the xp32 sysprep.inf (With the X64 Product id). Possibly start checking on what files are what language, i couldnt tell whats hebrew as i cant read it, most likely however it will include the word hebrew, and you could simply search all files with text content as the word hebrew. Enable Folder sharing in Vmware, and copy files from your clean xp x64 vmware install to your broken host system, and take it from there. Also dont forget to copy registry entries and update inf files. And yes, it kinda gets a bit of work to be done. I am however no expert at this, and possibly there is a much much simpler way.
  22. First of, Wireless zero configuration is as we all know running on automatic as default in xp. Also google is you friend, i have setup such networks in my previous jobs, but if all else fails, i will check into it myself and help you out. please check: http://www.msfn.org/board/lofiversion/index.php/t63368.html http://www.msfn.org/board/lofiversion/index.php/t88734.html Thanks.
  23. Please listen. Do not use Defrag program that is shipped with windows. Not on vista not on xp or 2000 etc. not anyone. If you insist, know that Defrag program as in topic also utilizes compression on old files, as configured in registry. This can be fixed by disabling compression, however Defrag in windows require several runs and is not very efficient at making partitions defragged properly. Search for JKDefrag for a nice, simple to use program. Also available in x64bit edition ,its free, works on everything, is kick a** product on defragging partitions with large clusters. I use 64KB clusters exclusively, as free harddrive space isnt a problem and it causes a huge improvement on the MFT tables and much more. Long story short, please dont use it unless you have to. Regedit and search for disable compression, dont remember registry key atm , but google will tell u. If you want to ntfs decompress your files for whole c:\ f.ex goto start\Run\ type cmd.exe hit enter. goto c:\ (root folder) and type this compact /U /S /A /I /Q And have a really good laugh while you can, i cracked myself up over this one way back in the good old days, some of them. USA IQ, i wonder where they take it from, that is microsoft. Good one. Happy defragging m8!
  24. Why on earth is that a bad thing?, if you need to update, just download zip file version and extract in same folder. I use a completely different path, and dont have issues updating it, nor am i paranoid enough, thank you god, to think that im missing out if i dont update on each version. But it's a close call =) hehe....
  25. download nlite again, check version number is 1.4.5.5. A extra .5 there, silently updated by nuhi. Also no need to make iso inbetween? Just do everything in 1 run?
