driver07: you could use the recovery partition providing there's an installation share in there... look for a folder which contains I386 subfolder etc. You can also try the CDs. if AutoStreamer detects it, i guess you can carry out the procedure.

rrtn: no, AutoStreamer was not tested on 64-bit platforms. That would require someone with 64-bit XP to test it.

Yikes, double post! To answer your question: I could, but at this time, it's very hard to even consider it, mainly because I would have to find people with Office so they can test it.

Hey Raptor,

If you do descide to do office I can test 2000 and 2003 probably XP ad well.

Hi, I just DL'd AS 1.0.30 (Full), and have never had a version before this. Running the executable returns the following:

Run-time error '372':

Failed to load control 'CommonDialog' from Comdlg32.ocx. Your version of Comdlg32.ocx may be outdated. Make sure you are using the version of the control that was provided with your application.

Hmm do I need something else to make this work? This is running on XPSP2. Thanks in advance.

Download the following file in the AutoStreamer folder:

http://neowin.hurmoth.com/content/index.ph...&catid=71&id=29

Then click Start>>Run and type regsvr32 File location\COMDLG32.OCX then click "OK".

Did you download the Installer version or the .zip version?

Example:

If you downloaded the installer version of AutoStreamer, then you would download this file to C:\Program Files\AutoStreamer\. Then go to Start>>Run and type regsvr32 C:\Program Files\AutoStreamer\COMDLG32.OCX and click "OK". A message should popup telling you the you successfully registered the OCX file and then try to run AutoStreamer again.

Quick little question. I used Auto Patcher from the 1st page of this topic.

It done its thing. Created the .ISO

Burned using Nero (Disk At Once) That completed, no problem.

Rebooted, just to see if the CD will work on Boot from CD. But nope.

Kinda seems like the boot loader got missed out or something. Any 1 willing to shed light?

AutoPatcher or AutoStreamer? AutoPatcher just patches Windows 2000 or Windows XP systems. AutoStreamer slipstreams service packs into a Windows share.

[EDIT] Do you have your BIOS set to boot from CD?

Swiftie, what does the cd contents list? Not a .iso file i hope... You must burn the ISO file. (i.e open nero, recorder -> burn image, and select the iso!)

Yep, done that. Burnt image. CD contests lists 5 folders, 7 files.

When burning in Nero. Would it really matter wether I select Dick-at-once or Disk-at-once/96

Because I used Dick-at-once :cool:

DAO (Disk-At-Once) should do. Now check the boot priority in your BIOS. CD should be the frist device to boot from. If you are unfamiliar with the system BIOS, read the motherboard's manual to check how to access that specific option.

Ooopzzz. Meant AutoStreamer, been reading up on the AutoPatcher activity and that's what was stuck in my head. :blush: & yes I have the BIOS configured to boot from CD 1st.

BIOS been like that since I built the system :cool: But I've double checked anyway and nothing has changed. I think its the CD-R I used thats f*cked because if I try it on the laptop. I can see the "Press to boot from CD msg" but pressing a button just freezes everything and remains on the POST screen.

Going to try burnin a new CD-RW to save myself on some disks and test again. Will let you know if it was just a CD error when I return ;)

Couldnt EDIT but would just like to say that it was a CD-R problem.

Using a CD-RW to burn the ISO image worked all flawlessly.

So looks like its dodgy CD-R's & hope they dont all end being coasters :angry:

Thanx to all who tried to help. & specially nw_raptor for the creation :)

Hi

I have been reading the board and have seen that Dell XP Pro can not be used for slipstreaming without "Cleaning up".

Can anyone tell where to start please as I have slipstreamed my XP Home edition and would like to Slipstream Pro As well. :D

Thanks.

Has anyone seen this problem? I installed Autostreamer via the installer version. When I launch it It starts the windows installer fot Roxio EMC 7, why? If I hit the cancel button on the installer 3 or 4 times Autostreamer starts & runs fine. It does this on 2 of my desktops but not on my laptop. I do have Roxio EMC 7 installed on the machines in question. Any Ideas?

Thanks,

Len

why not have auto streamer fix cds w/ updates folder? its real easy...well this works with OEM cds...(tested on a Dell OEM...but the way this is done is standard, so any OEM with hotfixes this should work on)

1)go into I386

2)Delete SVCPACK Directory

3)Delete SVCPACK DL File

4)Delete SVCPACK.Inf file

5)Copy my two files to your i386 folder ( SVCPACK.DL_ and SVCPACK.IN_ )

6)Continue slipstream as normal

7)Burn!!!

    • I think he means you haven't reviewed previous UFC games. Of course it doesn't matter... Every time you just report on something that involves the President even if just simply what happened you guys usually get accused of being anti-Trump. We live in fun times.
    • So how did you solve the problem? Disabling Secure Boot isn’t a solution.
    • Another devilish issue surrounding these certificates is what can happen with old, unsuspecting PCs that nevertheless have Secure Boot enabled. In my case, it was a Dell with a 3rd-gen Core chip (so about 13 years old). As of the last few weeks, it was suddenly BSOD'g within about 5 minutes of booting. Turns out it was because of MS's "Secure-Boot-Update" scheduled task, which is scheduled to run 5 minutes after login. It's explained in gory detail here (this is not my post, but it was where I found the answer), but the short version is that this legacy system would need fairly elaborate, manual certificate intervention since MS's automatic cert update method cannot work. How to do that is linked late in the thread. https://www.bleepingcomputer.c...od-caused-by-scheduled-task Secure Boot wasn't at all important for this particular PC, so I disabled it to be done with the problem.
    • Winhance 26.06.12 by Razvan Serea Winhance is an open-source Windows enhancement utility designed to help users debloat, optimize, and customize Windows 10 and 11. It provides a user-friendly interface for removing unwanted apps, legacy components, and optional features safely, giving you more control over your system. With Winhance, you can improve performance, reduce clutter, and enhance privacy without the need for a clean install. Beyond basic debloating, Winhance offers extensive optimization tools. Users can tweak power plans, adjust gaming and performance settings, control notifications, and manage Windows Update behavior. Privacy-focused settings allow you to limit telemetry and data collection, while system customization options let you personalize the taskbar, Start menu, Explorer, and Windows themes.

For advanced users and IT professionals, Winhance integrates WIMUtil, a tool for creating custom Windows installation ISOs with automated configuration. You can generate autounattend.xml files, inject drivers, and apply your chosen Winhance settings automatically during installation. Most changes are non-destructive and reversible, with clear explanations in the GUI. Whether you’re optimizing a single PC or managing multiple systems, Winhance delivers a faster, cleaner, and highly personalized Windows experience.

Winhance 26.06.12 changelog: Features Builder Mode — build a Winhance config file or autounattend.xml without changing anything on the PC you're sitting at. Flip the new mode switcher to Builder, set everything the way you want it, and save the result as a Winhance config or an autounattend file ready for deployment on other machines. Sponsors & Supporters page — the exit donation dialog is gone. In its place, an in-app page (heart icon or the More menu) recognizes the businesses and individual supporters who keep Winhance free. It works offline and is fully localized. Change History — Winhance now keeps a receipt of everything it does. ChangeHistory.txt records every setting change (before and after values) and every app install or removal, with clear headers for config imports and bulk actions. Open it from the More menu. Hebrew language support — Winhance is now available in 29 languages. New Explorer customizations: desktop icon visibility toggles, This PC folder visibility, an icon cache size setting, and automatic thumbnail cache cleanup. New "All apps view" setting for the redesigned Windows 11 Start menu, and the Windows 11 system tray icons setting is now a dropdown with more control. App-local UI zoom — press Ctrl +/-/0 or use Ctrl+MouseWheel to scale the whole app, just like a browser. New External Apps: EA app, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, Rockstar Games Launcher, PowerShell, and Helium Browser. Bug Fixes Layouts no longer clip when the Windows text size slider is set above 100%. Accessibility: Narrator now announces setting names on toggles and dropdowns, previously unlabeled buttons are labeled, and progress updates are announced. Silent updates now respect your custom install location instead of reverting to the default. Cancel in Review Mode no longer clears your app selections. OneNote is now detected correctly for Win32 Click-to-Run installs. Clean Start Menu applies more reliably by also writing the group policy path. WinGet errors are no longer silent — error details now show in the terminal output. Fixed a startup crash on older Windows builds caused by a .NET runtime regression. Config import now converts power setting values correctly and no longer re-applies an already-active power plan. Improvements App icons load noticeably faster and cover almost everything now, including legacy capabilities and optional features — they come from a dedicated, checksum-validated icon repository and are fetched in parallel. Software & Apps polish: per-icon tooltips, extra table columns, an app sort dropdown, relocated search, and a cleaner compact view. A warning now appears when the Connected Devices Platform Service is set to Manual or Disabled, since some Windows features depend on it.
