| Files I have that you don't have Files you have that I don't have Something interesting is I don't have that cplexe.exe file on my CD. The CD I compared to is Windows XP SP0 Corporate Edition. It appears the CD you have is modified in some way... Oh yeah, I only compared the i386 directory... (edited by neotransotaku on 08-28-05 12:16 AM) (edited by neotransotaku on 08-28-05 12:17 AM) |

Well, mine is SP2.  Anyone know how to kill that 'Queue-It-Up' thing that WMP adds to the right-click menu? I want there to be as few ways to open WMP as possible. And is there something similar to autoexec.bat, that I can have a batch file execute every time I open cmd.exe? [edit] Looks like setup leaves a crapload of log files on the HD. Gonna scan them for names of missing files. (I know ding.wav is missing, oh noes.) (edited by HyperHacker on 08-28-05 01:16 AM) (edited by HyperHacker on 08-28-05 05:12 AM) |

| I could slipstream SP2 onto my Windows XP CD and then compare. So, you are staying that if you install WinXP with the CD you have, you are installing WinXP that has had SP2 applied? As for autoexec.bat, check out the %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT |

| Yeah, that's what I did. Autoexec.nt doesn't seem to be doing much, I think it's only used at startup. | |||

| if you run command.com, then autoexec.nt will run. if you run cmd.exe, then autoexec.nt will not run since it is a windows based program. so, maybe there is a flag for cmd that you can use... |

The only way I know of is to run cmd.exe /k somebatchfile. However I like to just hit Win+R and type 'cmd', which makes that difficult.  |

nevermind, that doesn't work...it seems cmd is hard coded into run...the closest thing to cmd I can think of is to make a batch file like ccmd or _cmd or something like that... (edited by neotransotaku on 08-29-05 02:21 AM) |

| Yeah, looks like it takes priority over everything. I even tried changing PATHEXT so .bat files are executed before .exe, and putting a cmd.bat in \windows, but it didn't work. Hm... I'm getting some major graphics corruption all of a sudden. Also, my system occasionally pauses for a second, then a line flickers on the screen... The same happened when I tried to overclock to 2ghz (which I promptly undid ). Could this indicate an overheated video card? (Case temp 40�°C, CPU 45�°C, but those have been steady pretty much since I put it together; the old computer read about the same.) Many pixels, particularly title bars, just plain won't redraw. Here's a screenshot, but I dunno if the problem will show up in it. *reboots*[edit] Rebooting (and enabling AGP Fast Write; dunno why it would have been off) seems to have fixed it for now, but that was only about 1 minute ago. Temperatures are still the same. AGP voltage is apparently 1.55V, which I can adjust if necessary. [edit again] Bah, can't get standby mode to work either, it just starts up again. I had the same problem before, and fixed it by not allowing any devices to wake it up (the power button would do that job nicely), but of course in SP2, I can't disable that for anything except LAN cards which don't have it enabled.  [more editing] Turns out the graphic corruption is a known driver problem. I updated it so that supposedly shouldn't happen. It didn't fix dual-monitor mode, though (xgiv3.dll crashes), we'll see what their tech support has to say about that one. ...OK, this is annoying. No floppy drives will work anymore. I tried 2 drives, 2 cables and every possible connection, but either the drive won't even spin up or it just says there's no disk inserted. Even the BIOS acts as if there's no disk when trying to boot off it. Depending on my settings I can get it to say 'FDC FKitten Yiffer' at startup and not let me try to boot from disks but that's about it. Windows, of course, doesn't report any problems. |

| floppy drive problem--you put a disk in, run windows, double click on a: and it says disk not found? have you tried the floppy drive in another computer? (i'm guessing yes), have you looked at your BIOS settings to make sure it is set to 3.5" floppy disk? do you have your floppy controller enabled? (maybe somehow it was disabled in BIOS) i dunno, with all these trivial problems, sounds like the motherboard has some type of hardware defect... |

| Sounds like it, but it better not. I think the BIOS is just crappy. Certain settings make everything run incredibly slow, and the only way to fix it is to load the default settings. (There's probably an update, but I'm not too keen on the idea of flashing a BIOS when the power could go out at any given moment...) I tried 2 different floppy drives, so I don't think there's a problem with them. The settings are right, and that's exactly what happens; Windows just says there's no disk. (I tried b: too, it doesn't exist.) |
