videobruce Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 (edited) I must of done a couple of dozen 2k installs, but this is the first time I had one hang on "Saving settings" I rebooted once, it picked up before that portion of the install process, but it again hung at the same spot. I'm using a nLite edited 2k install w/ sp4 slipstreamed. I have used nLite with XP with no issue, but this was the first time I used it with 2k. This is on a systen that has a different HDD and video card, but the same PS, MB, processor & memory. I haven't tested the HDD with the utility from the manufacture for any errors yet, but I formatted ok through the Windows install. As far as stopping services from running, would any of that have anything to do with the install, namely stopping at 'Saving settings'??Any ideas??

nuhi Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Attach the preset so that I can try it. This issue is known, cause is any error during installation while keeping SFC enabled. You can disable it in the Options - Patches, but also finding the error during installation is a better choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
videobruce Posted December 8, 2007 Author Share Posted December 8, 2007 (edited) I tried another session and the same thing. This time I didn't do as many custom settings as before and less drivers.Here are the 'presets' from both sessions:While we are at it, I looked over the text and saw all the references to foreign languages and keyboards that I wanted removed. Did I do it wrong or should they be listed? Edited December 8, 2007 by videobruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
videobruce Posted December 8, 2007 Author Share Posted December 8, 2007 I'm confused about your response regarding SFC. This never happened durning XP, or is it this beta version I have?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuhi Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 I tried it and unfortunately it didn't hang. Which brings to conclusion that maybe this works in combination with hardware drivers being installed.I'm trying all kinds of presets reporting this issue and still haven't came to any conclusion, seems very weird. Gonna compare with old nLite.WFP/SFC is what runs at saving settings, read for more into in nlite-options-pathes page, you can disable it, no harm done and it won't hang. But still it has to be fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
videobruce Posted December 8, 2007 Author Share Posted December 8, 2007 Is this a 2k issue or all O/Ss' issue?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuhi Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Reported so far on XP and 2k, so you could say all.I can't wait to find out why this happens, weird that it doesn't happen to all users, myself included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
videobruce Posted December 8, 2007 Author Share Posted December 8, 2007 It wasn't on a older version, at least my XP version worked. I think I was 1.2.Anyway. SFC has to be off?Can it be turned back on after the install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuhi Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 If you are in a hurry that would be one solution, but generally it shouldn't be a must.Can't be turned on, actually you would need to replace another file, it's all non-user friendly, I would rather fix it.Check this topic:http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?s=&...st&p=717883Let me know if you try anything.

AgiHammerklau Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 (edited) What kind of installation did you choose ?It´s missing in the LSinis... And nlite is not removing it !So your presets seem to be corrupted somehow.Better start completely from scratch !Fresh source and a reliable updatepack or list.Tried several of those "stuck by T-9 presets" myself, as far as they were applicable to an AMD/ VIA chipset, non SATA.Never got stuck, even though the hardware (see sig) is ancient and the external is even wierd (Amiga500 via 0Modem/ Mustek scanner @ parport,...)AgiP.S.:Please remove the languages and keyboards in the LSinis, when you upload them, because it´s scrolling, scrolling and missing important entries, because the finger bleeds !

videobruce Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 (edited) Ok, I tried it again with SFC off and it completed the install. I went to load a nForce2 UDP and the install hung for 45 seconds at the opening dialog box (whatever it said). I don't know what that was about, but it finally did install. Can't be turned on, actually you would need to replace another file, it's all non-user friendly, I would rather fix it. So you are saying once it is turned off, it's off and you can't easily restore it? Sounds as that isn't/shouldn't be a option.Questions; 1. Is this AMD specific or is it with both AMD and Wintel based MBs'??2. Has it been narrowed down any?3. If I do a straight nLite procedure, NOT using ANY customizing option, other than slipstreaming a SP and burning the CD, does it still do it with a problem system?? It´s missing in the LSinis...Tried several of those "stuck by T-9 presets"Please remove the languages and keyboards in the LSinis, when you upload them, because it´s scrolling, scrolling and missing important entries, because the finger bleeds ! Huh??? I have no idea what any of that is suppose to mean. Check this topic:http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?s=&...st&p=717883Let me know if you try anything. Sorry, I never saw that. Might as well merge these two threads together. Edited December 9, 2007 by videobruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well merge these two threads together.Disable SFC is actually a good thing for people who customize their Windows. You can enable it by editing reg entry but then it would complain too much, more frequent popups than what you get if kept enabled.Trying now to provoke hang and checking differences with 1.3.5.This is one of those weird bugs, but that's the only kind left.

nuhi Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Search in regedit for sfcdisable key, then delete it i guess, or google how to use it, it's widely known.1. I think it doesn't matter, I had it once on 2k in virtual machine, only when removing NetDDE, no one else confirmed so I returned that component.2. I'm only 2 hours on this matter, last night and today.3. Read 2 4. Yes, always was: http://www.nliteos.com/download.html down under Previous (non-beta) versions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
