straytoasters Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Using HFslip 1.4.1, using same .iso for VM and real machine (using DVD not actual .iso on real machine...but duh). I removed a couple of folders like the win9x upgrade folders and such. When I get a chance i will rebuild with the complete root from a WinXP CD, but in the mean time does anyone know why I would get standard XP interface on a VM (Virtual Box) but classic interface on a real machine? I have .net 3 in the hfguirun once and it failes on both installs. I will figure out the why of the .net 3 later, I am just mentioning that in case it is in any way relevent.So, any thoughts, anyone else experienced this?Straytoasters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyp Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 What happens when you install on a VM using the DVD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straytoasters Posted May 12, 2007 Author Share Posted May 12, 2007 OK, I made a DVD from the .iso and installed in both a VM and RM. The VM boots as regular XP interface (green start menu/two column), the RM boots as XP classic (grey start menu/one column I think (it may have been two column)).I can go into themes set the theme to regular XP and it will stay after reboot, but I just dont know why I am getting different start interfaces from the same DVD. It does say "modified" when I go into themes and change it. Its just weird. The VM is Virtual Box 1.3.8 and the RM is a Dell Optiplex GX260 (fat style) and is close to three years old.Straytoasters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomcat76 Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 IE7? Default handling? Is it still the classic interface after a reboot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straytoasters Posted May 12, 2007 Author Share Posted May 12, 2007 Reinstalling again to check, not sure what you mean by default handling. IE7=yes (installed, WMP11 also), if by default handling you mean does IE7 look all blocky and square, yes, I believe so, but reinstalling again to check for sure.OHHH, I just realized something. I need to make another ISO (different build) to check something. Toss me some suggestions if you have any, and I will report back after my new expirement.

straytoasters Posted May 12, 2007 Author Share Posted May 12, 2007 OK, here's what I got after my last experiment. See I had been adding in the BTS drivers but not using the BTS intergrator. The BTS intergrator does work, but I was just trying to avoid a step and just toss the uncompressed BTS drivers in HFEXPERT\DRIVERCAB and hoping for the best. Childish...yes, a shot in the dark...yes, but I was trying it anyway. Anyhow the problem seems to have been that I was actually placing the uncompressed BTS drivers in a HFEXPERT\CODECS folder (yeah, thats what my OHHH was about a while ago). I dont know why that would cause the XP vs Classic thing I was seeing, I figured they would more or less just be ignored, but putting the BTS drivers in \DRIVERCAB seems to have fixed it. The BTS drivers did not install, but I can run the BTS intergrator on the sourcess folder once the HFslip build is done (did it before and it worked fine). I need to do a little bit more expermention before I declare victory, but I seem to have a solution.By the way, I slipstream IE7 in, hope that answers the question.
