Marthax Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 greetings, i have a strange problem with my installtion. The problem is that when i install win xp and the installation gets to the point "registering components" it just stops and won't continue. I dont understand whats wrong. It must be something wrong with my components but i dont get what it is. here are my components :[Components] msmsgs=off msnexplr=off freecell=off hearts=off minesweeper=off pinball=off solitaire=off spider=off zonegames=off Fax=off Clipbook=Off autoupdate=off mswordpad=off paint=off NetMtg = Off MovieMk = Off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godfatha Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 i am not 100% sure but the registering components is where the svcpack and cdmline is executed, maybe you have added all hotfixes and Directx etc to your cd and it takes just a freaking long time to install all of those patches....I know that some pc's took like 45 mins to pass the 13 min phase of the xp setup, typacally its like 15 mins. I also had pcs that only took like 10 mins but also one that took the half day.If you're sure its not caused by that, make sure that the pc doesn't hang (move the mouse and see the courser moving). and if nothing helps, try an unmodded xp version, if that works you gotta change something in your mod. if that does the same the problem is caused by something else (Hardware problem maybe) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marthax Posted May 20, 2004 Author Share Posted May 20, 2004 no, i've checked that out my computer is working just fine. The thing is that my installation worked good til i added the last lines about movie maker, wordpad, and netmeeting ...and i don't understand why..i'll try to remove them now and se if it's really them that's causing the problem. I found that i had made som spaces between the quotes on the components so i thought that it was the problem but it still remained. so now i'll try removing wordpad, movie maker and netmeeting and se what will happen. thx for your reply anyway..got any ideas what could have interfare with these components? could that possible been the problem?

Godfatha Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Remove those two lines: NetMtg = Off MovieMk = Offi wasn't able to find any reference to thoses components, the others i was able to find. And i don't think it was caused by the spaces, but i had the problem, that i left a blank line in the TXTSETUP.SIF and setup asked me to insert the Windows cd after the Press F2 for system restore....
