  1. Boot into dos

    make a ms-dos startup disk. Open my computer, rightclick drive a: and format. Check box "create msdos startup disk" (if it's greyed out, try toggling the quick format option). Restart your computer and after a few minutes you should be in a black screen with white text. Try pressing the keys and if all of them work it's a problem with windows and not the laptop itself.

  2. I had this problem too and system restore didn't work. The recovery console made my windows really slow, so I just backed up all my files ad formatted. It solved the problem at any rate.

  3. You can't REM the line out, it's only for batch files.

    Basically, backup ur boot.ini file somewhere.

    Under

    [boot loader]

    If there's a "timeout" option set it to 5.

    If there isn't make a line

    [boot loader]
    timeout=5

    Reboot.

    Don't click anything. Let the countdown go to zero. If the correct windows starts, you can set the timeout to 0 so it loads instantly or you can delete the second line. e.g. if it was

    multi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
    multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Win XP Professional" /fastdetect

    You'd delete the line

    multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Win XP Professional" /fastdetect

    If the wrong windows loads, ie your pc doesn't boot after setting the timeout to 5, delete the first line (ie

    multi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect

    and set the timeout to zero. Hope u understood.

  4. The usb mass storage works on all drives but you have to install it when u plug in a new memory stick.

    Unless you've nlited the drivers off (is that possible?) it should install automatically.

    A suggestion is to rightclick my computer, go to hardware tab, click driver signing and click ignore.

    And click make this action system default.

    But it shouldn't make a difference cos the usb drivers are signed by M$. Try it anyway.

  5. Even if the gfx driver is installed at the beginning, you have to restart.

    You could use VidChng in the downloads section of the ua guide and put it in DetachedProgram=res.cmd (in winnt.sif) and in res.cmd put the vidchng.exe -switches

    res.cmd goes in $OEM$\$1

    Or you can use an addon on ryanvm.net

    Patch: HIVESYS.INF

    Changes resolution information in HIVESYS.INF to run GUI-mode Setup in 1024x768x32.

  6. I install tons and tons of programs, it goes all the way down the screen. I install the others that won't fit in GuiRunOnce.

    And you only need to use one anyway.

    I think I have the solution. As you install a cleanup.cmd via guirunonce and .net framework via ROE, the GRO cleanup.cmd can't delete the dot20 folder as it's currently in use.

    Try not using GRO and put it all in Runonceex.
