b0r3d Posted September 7, 2003 Author Share Posted September 7, 2003 Expanding it, is pretty much the same way as compressing it, but backwards in DOS: expand -r winntbbu.dl_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dare2001 Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 Hi Guys,I have just completed modifying the winntbbu.dll following b0r3d's guide and when I run setup I get the old setup screen.FYI This is what I did.Using a new folder with an original copy of winntbbu.dll I followed the guide through using resourcetuner.I then saved the winntbbu.dll to the new folder.I then ran cmd and used makecab to compress the winntbbu.dll into winntbbu.dl_I then copied the new winntbbu.dl_ file into the I386 folder and it asked to overwrite the old one and I said yes.I then ran setup.exe and the setup screen was still the original one.In the guide it says not to overwrite the winntbbu.dll.I thought what the heck and overwrote it using the new winntbbu.dll file.I then ran setup again and this time the setup screen was the new one.This I don't get, the guide says not to overwrite the winntbbu.dll and I did and it workedCan someone please explain if this is right or did I stuff something up.Thanks,Dare2001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junale Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 hi guys,i have the winntbbu.dl_ in my \i386 folder.But also* winntbbu.dll* winntbba.ddlwith the same content - are they to be overwritten? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yazoo Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 I think when you do a setup straight from the CD you will use the winntbu.dll file. But when you boot from the CD it will uncompress the winntbu.dl_ and use that. Thats why you did not see the tweaked screen at first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enclave Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 How do I change the resolution of the setup screen? I edited my setup screen and it worked but it is only displayed at 640x400 or 800x600 not sure which one but def not 1024x768.....I set bitmap 103 with a 256 colors 1024x768.....

If you dont, windows will use its standard driver which may not work well with your card, forcing it into a lower resolution.Try getting the latests ones for your card, unpack them, throw them on your CD, and add the location to your winnt.sif file.

Enclave Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 That would make sense but I always thought that the driver was installed during the "Installing Devices" phase so for 5 mins I would see a screen that was low resolution. Anyway I have a Geforce 3 ti200 and when it installed the driver 45.33 it still uses low resolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
