Hey man, CONGRATS! I'm sure everyone here will do the same in wishing you the best especially in the insane times, so good luck with the 9-5, they're fuuuuuuun /sacrasm - don't worry I'm one of 'em

I dont use outlook...but if I install my xp on some computer people wont search msimm.exe Sorry I'm lost - first you mean msimN.exe, right? So if I'm right, you are IT and you want people to have the icon there for them so they don't do a search for it - is this correct? I don't understand the reas...

pen25jf

Haha, well, it's "general." Will ask over there, thanks.

Strange thing with the RAM though is it previously showed 4, and no new hardware was installed after. I'll figure it out, get under the hood of it. Just wondered if it was an SP2 issue since I don't have SP3 :gasp!:

pen25jf

Damn you're fast!

Thanks!

Outlook Express fix is easy: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/products/thunderbird/ :D C'MON! You knew that one was comin!! You can always just create a line to add it to the desktop.

Seriously, am I the only who accepts it and actually BUYS Windows? Hey, call me a masochist :wink: but you can get the cheapest PC with XP Pro in it, have the Skeleton and build away for much cheaper and better then a Dell/Sony/etc. Sorry, didn't mean any flame throwing, it just seems easier to buy ...

Hey to all, 1) OK, I have a SONY DVD RW AW Q170A and a Lite-On SHM-165H6S. The first one (Sony), doesn't read blank DVD's, it just says "error, blah blah" but it should read AND write. The other one (Lite-On) is a Light scribe which which works fine. Saying both to see (hope?!) it's not a jumper sla...

Just a question: what's the difference between this add-on and RogueSpear's? I run RogueSpear's at 0_dotnet.exe so I know it's running first, OR, am I missing something, which is very possible about the "true" addon thingy?? Thanks!

pen25jf

Thanks so much, this is an always must with my installs!!!!!

thanks.

7-zip should do the trick, just make sure you pack it the using the same levels.

Is there a way to manually remove WGA from this pack and how :? I would appreciate it, if someone could show me how - please :wink: Thanks in Advance... Why not just disable BITS and Automatic updates from Administrative tools? Or you are not using a valid Windows? IOW, sorry I don't know but I hat...

Hi, What components can I remove that are strictly for wireless/remote? I don't have any use for wireless/remote assistance, and I would like a slimmer install. I know some are needed for regular broadband, but if anyone knows which ones can easily be killed off without running into any errors, I'd ...

If this was answered somewhere, sorry in advanced. I installed Microsoft's 2007 VM, and all I see (when running) is a black box (like a CMD DOS box) and a flickering text thingy, waiting for me to type.... what the hell do I do?!

It's not a mortgage crisis, cancer, or gasoline - it's an update pack.

I can't speak for the issues on the italian version of this addon, but the issues for the US release have been relatively minor. The amount of updates covered in this addon is so vastly comprehensive and works for so many - how can you say that onepiece did not test? I am guessing this addon took h...

pen25jf

Last time I checked, yes, nLite runs at T-13, but I think forums would heklp if you need more specifics.

pen25jf

Yup.

pen25jf

It's allways reccommended to start fresh. The main issue I think you may have is the hotfixes you allready integrated may not show up on MU. So what you should do is make sure you re-integrate those hotfixes as well. So download every Post-SP3 hotfix needed and let me know how it goes. :) I have a ...

pen25jf

Honestly, the best way (just my opinion) is to use BtS' Driverpacks.
http://driverpacks.net

Not only does he/they have great packs for sound, CPU drivers, etc., but for RAID and mass storage as well.

Really simple, just make sure you do it last, right before making your iso/burn.

pen25jf

Siginet, forgot to mention: I don't have the Office XP CD anymore, I copied it onto a drive, which has SP3 already slipstreamed into it, as well as some updates. Will this cause any major problems? Should I start with the first update post-SP3, or go ahead from where I left off (I kept a list of upd...

pen25jf

Onepiece, maybe it would be helpful in your first post (of course, if you have the time) to post the "known errors" with the pack, similar to the info. about IE7. It seems some say it works flawless with add-ons, others specify specific issues. In other words, can't keep up with the errors (if any a...

pen25jf

Sweetness, thank you!!!

pen25jf

Hi there, yeah, Office XP is ancient, but it's all I got =/. Yes, I've tried and used this method http://www.petri.co.il/office_xp_sp_slipstreaming.htm , which worked fine for SP3, but for the updates, I ran Microsoft update and it showed 28 updates needed (yikes!). I followed it and there were no e...

pen25jf

Crash - yes, Rogue has 3.5 ran at runonce.

shon - I actually used RogueSpear's .net 1 & 2 combo on 2000 and they work. I know .net 3 does not, though.

pen25jf

Thanks Crash. Other then being uninstallable, what is the difference between the AIO and RogueSpear's packs (since both can run at SVCPACK)?

Thanks.

pen25jf

Hi there,

pretty sure I already know the answer, but what the heck, here goes:

Is there any way to integrate .Net 1 or 2 (I know three is a pain), e.g. same way as an update pack or Booogy's, where it's "uninstallable"?

Thanks

pen25jf

Yeah, I normally just disable stuff in services "just in case" I ever needed them, but wanting to see if getting rid of apps I never used since WIndows 3.1 up until now would tidy things/speed thing up. Like I said, I'm not worried about the size, just wanting to see if removing uneeded apps would m...

That's just like slipstreaming Office, sweet, thanks alot Rick

Hello, I saw a post on this board where someone got their XP down to 253 or something like that, and got me thinking... I don't care about the size, but I would love to trim all the bloat that comes with an OEM (or even standard). I did this once but was unable to connect to the internet, I guess I ...

pen25jf

Great, thanks. That's a great tutorial and actually looks straight forward, I'll give it a shot on the weekend. Is the AutoIt the same as the one with Ryan's pack? I', running XP2 w/ Ryan's pack, plus Kel's runtimes, don't know if those codecs cover the app.

Thanks again!

pen25jf

Thanks. So lemme see if I have this right?

Acro810.exe dumped in a folder with each update.

then, run acroupdate811.exe /s /a /s - and that's it? How does it know to update 8.1.0? Sorry, AutoIt is new to me, it's installed though. Thanks!!

pen25jf

Ryan hasn't updated that in awhile. You could check out: http://www.doitrightconsulting.net/forum/ RogueSpear has a updated switchless silent installer there. I use Roguespear's all the time, they are perfect. Even his "Other runtime packs" are great. Nicely package .net 1 & 2 fully up to date. You...

pen25jf

I have Adobe Acrobat 8.1 (not the free one) and you need to install 8.1.1 and 8.1.2, which is a pain (sorta) since you need to keep the installer cache files when installing 8.1.0, which is an unnessary [sic] waste of a gig of space. I did a search and found some administrators talking on a forum......

pen25jf

Hey mark, welcome!

Reading rom the boards, Microsoft, etc. it says it's "recommended" to have SP2, but not mandatory. So just to play on the safe side, I'll slip 2 then 3, then whatever comes next.

pen25jf

Nice, but the French - English translation needs work. I can translate it if your interested.

Just finished downloading Bricopack Vista Inspirat 2.0

Thanks, gonna give it a go!

pen25jf

Thank both. I used XPize before, didn't like it since whenever I tried uninstalling it, it had loads of leftovers (but this was about a year ago, so maybe it's changed, will give it a shot). As far as Rick's thingy, I can just double-click on the /bat file/.cmd file file, just like a RunOnceEx, corr...

pen25jf

Topic says it - can anyone point me to an icon pack addon/ swithless installer?? I.e. XP - Vista, etc. Thanks!

pen25jf

Hmm, figured as much, but thought worth a shot. Not in a rush to do a new slipstream. Thanks guys for the advice

pen25jf

Have a SP1a disk: 1. Slipstream SP2. 2. Slipstream Ryan's pack for XP2. 3. Slipstream SP3? I know when I did a slipstream of SP2 and ryan's pack, then after a couple of reboots for other apps, installed SP3 and it was fine - even showed Ryan's updates which were not in SP3. But since I would overwri...

pen25jf

Here's an idea or two - just a thought, tossin it out there... 1) WAIT, or 2) MAKE YOUR PACK!!!!

Thanks. Yeah, I cleared the CMOS jumper alot. I was having a fool around with the timings and, yup, couldn't boot to the BIOS :D . So cleared the CMOS.

I'm not looking to OC, just to have "incompatible parts" work, so to speak.
