nightrhyme Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 (edited) I have been using Nlite for some time now trying to make a good install. But it seems everytime I have removed something it has serious side effects. Now I'm back to not removing much and I realize that MSCONFIG is not working.When i choose run/msconfig I get this enhanced msconfig:But the startup is empty. And I know there are programs in startup that should be listed. Whats wrong ? Why doesn't msconfig work ?Is it because I removed Help and Support ?Hope someone can help meThanx in advance Edited November 3, 2006 by nightrhyme
sho_gun Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 Why doesn't msconfig work ?Is it because I removed Help and Support ?Hope someone can help meThanx in advanceI think removing Help and Support is the cause, but I am not sure. I do however know the fix.On the components removal page, click the "advanced" button and add "msconfig.exe" in the "keep" box and msconfig will work once again.If you have a saved settings ini file, you could also just add:;# Compatibility #[KeepFiles]msconfig.exe
Madhits45 Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 try msconfig2.. its better and might not have the problem. Thats what i use better options to.

bledd Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 (edited) i'll look through now to see if i can see anything that stands outi use RVM updatepack, and dx pack too, so its not them-edit, i removed all you did and morei didn't mess with my services tho..try setting the ones you changed back to normal, and restarting pc.. Edited November 3, 2006 by bledd
nightrhyme Posted November 3, 2006 Author Posted November 3, 2006 (edited) Tried setting them back to normal didn't work.I only removed:Beep DriverError ReportingSystem Restore ServicePerhaps I will try making a new nlite keeping those + default services status. I would just really like to know that is the cause before doing so Edited November 3, 2006 by nightrhyme
bledd Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 personally i never use msconfig anyway, and usually delete it from the pc, but i removed less than normal in this one because its my mum's pc and had to make it in a hurry!autoruns is 10x better, it shows loads more entries
nightrhyme Posted November 3, 2006 Author Posted November 3, 2006 I agree. For me it's just a principle. Functionality has to be intact.However I fixed it. Seem you were right on the money.Made a new Nlite disk changing only the remaining services to DEFAULT. That fixed it. Changing the state back to DEFAULT in the already installed windows didn't work.Thanx for your help man. You made my day.. Back to making the perfect installation..
bledd Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 did you use exactly the same settings -not including the services?
nightrhyme Posted November 5, 2006 Author Posted November 5, 2006 (edited) Sorry been away..Yes I used the exact same settings.. Edited November 5, 2006 by nightrhyme
