Marthax Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 I used nLite, just like Jeremy. Anyway, I tried it out earlier today on VMware and it worked! I just hope, that it'll work when I install it on my "real" PC. Anyway, thx for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ðrзω™ Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 (edited) Hi guys, i know start of topic said if you get any errors its your own fault lol but was wondering if anyone can tell me how to stop this error during installMapi Repair ToolGetLastError = 126Install continues after i press ok to this but it's annoying for an "unattended" install when i have to click ok lolif anyone has any ideas id appreciate it (using nLite 1.0b6 btw)Edit: also noticed that after 2 reboots and after installing a windows update the themes are broken now... i re-enabled them, the theme service is running but when i try and use any theme (except windows classic lol) it says it cant open it due to theme service not runningthis has all been done in Virtual PC 2004 so i duno if it down to being ran in a virtual machine but i doubt it Edited August 31, 2005 by Ðrзω™ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdogg Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 (edited) i say not long, ive done great work on registry and file removal, you could remove even more if you choose classic theme, which many of you think is acceptable, i dont, it was what made xp , xp, especially with uxtheme, its greatthinking about adding a custom bootskin, with one i make, hopefully its sweet, this with be just like your guys stuff, removing reg keys, batch fileslifes looking alot better for me right now, and ill be able to work on this some more, and spent the time to make reg files, that remove thousands of keys, (to stop thinks from wrong by exectution, to absolutly stop virus, , regedit, will be created as a stand alone (to prevent reg entries from being added) regsrv too, you'd have to open regedit and import, lots of stand alone things, and a folder, with possible game req files, what i recommend for this windows is, first partition as swap file, (600 or 1200 depending on your ram size) , a 1200 meg or more partion for windows (this keeps all the best parts of the hard drive for windows and paging file)a third partition for games (IE program files directory), and a forth partition for other windows / backupyou will reguire for second xp installed, for a .bat ran from a second windows, to remove files that are running but not nessary for anything but to run , lolonly 1 of my test games im still having difficulty with , san andreas, i hope to get his working yetswat 4, mohaa, mohaa breaktrhough/spearhead, and warcraft 3 + FT workappz that work for inet and email confirmed, are firefox, (gonna try to give people a tweak for high speed, (it does wonders) , links to optimised firefox builds, to keep the guide easy complete, (hopefully) thurderbird (it works) foxmail didn't , outlook, prob not, the main purpose for this windows, gaming / inet kios, virus immunity, spyware/adware immunity (not spyware cookies, but who cares)all services, having no port connected to the internet (meaning ,less things to block in your firewall , lol) outpost is great, period try itwindows networking less, (but ftp servers work better anyway, and security is a key here ) and make it only inet capable, rather than networkinguse control panel less ati drivers, less memory usage by far(shrink what ati loads @ startup for drivers, and only run the other parts when a game is run)office will probally not work, IE will definatly not work, no windows media player- vlc , winamp = solutionexplorer that doesn't even try to access the net, (like windows 95 ,hopefully i convert some of those win95 users over to the new age)only running drivers you actaully want to, like going from 130 drivers, to 45, is what i did Edited September 2, 2005 by gdogg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Honestly, I don't see why you guys are so excited about distrubuting your 50 MB Windows folders. The whole point of the topic is to slim XP down reasonably and keep functionality. Sure, you might have your preferred core functionality. Boot, logon, open your browser, download stuff, view it, post on the forums and play games, but even Gdogg was telling about how many programs he broke because of such a heavy removal. I always tried to reduce XP reasonably and prevent users from posting dozens of threads like "OMFG, DLLs missing heeeellllppp!!!"I mean, keep it in PMs or something. I think a fair amount of users want to retain operations in BitComet for example.Also, lately, this whole "narrow it down to the last kilobyte" just seems so trivial. Heck, see my signature. You guys are spending so much time with DLLs and kilobytes it's rather depressing. If you spend a few hours a day that's great, but if it's like something obsessive, which Clint would prefer, than it's sad.Everyone's looking forward to seeing how you get 50 MBs, because the idea of having such a small filesize is very tempting but realistically speaking, as soon as they try 15 of their favorite programs, you know who they are gonna curse at?I'm just trying to be realistic.Oh and Clint, I'd love for you to say more to me from my doorway. B) Anyway, time to snuggle with my gal, who is priority over a billion DLLs anyday. Nite folks. Clint, that oval shaped rock over there looks like a cool pillow for you. Hehehe, just joking buddy.

gdogg Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 good for you , your past few weeks have done nothing but put me down, and look obsessed, WOW i spent 20-30 hours total on this, OH boo hoo, the longest time will be sharing this with others, and being in the long run for supporti think you should really stop calling others obsessed, when this was you doing this, not so long agoreally you found a girl great, why you changed for a girl i dont know, but honestly man, i got friends, i go out, i have fun, i play games, i browse the net, i even got bitspirt (it uses 0%-7% cpu max, when doing 500KB second (maxing my connection) using 24MB ram, i think there is always other solutions, sometimes others should take note of that, rather than saying, it dont work, give up, use other windows, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Yeah, you're probably right. My bad.Do you use BitSprit or whatever because BitComet won't work? lolAnd the girlfriend changing me, well, you'd understand if you were in a 2 year relationship. After getting out of the city and camping out on the ground near a river and actually seeing stars at night got me back to my old roots in my hometown and family. I just realized there's more to life than how DLL-craved I used to be. I'm not saying I won't do it again, but with a job, college, plans for the future, no time. Especially since Fridge-RaideR and PuntoMX aren't around anymore, they were my crew who helped out with a lot. No backup, no time, no progress.Anyway, sorry for calling you obsessed. Sorry to Clint, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
